Chapter 63: 063: Maximum of two children

And so, Mrs. Du was treated to a dose of harsh reality, resulting in another chaotic scene at home.

Her dad then asked, "Do you not want a little brother?"

His question gave her a headache. Wasn't the decision whether to have a little brother up to you adults? Why ask her?

Her grandparents too, were always telling her to talk to her dad, try to get him to reconcile with her mom.

As if she was in any position to make decisions about the adults' affairs, like a child can take charge.
