Bai Yue hesitated, torn between a rock and a hard place. This was the difficult quandary the old lady had posed to her—if she kept her eldest and second sons, without any money, how would she afford the treatment for her youngest son? If she didn't give the money, her eldest and second sons would suffer. The old lady was forcing her, a mother, to abandon her own sons, making her children resent her.
When she didn't respond after a while, Li Haiping, holding his younger brother, released Bai Yue's collar and said, "Mom, my brother and I will stay at the Li Family, our home! We won't leave. Take the money and use it to treat the youngest, don't worry! We've grown up. We can take care of ourselves."
Bai Yue's heart softened. Her sons did not want to put her in a difficult position.
How could she be unaware of the close bond she shared with her eldest and second sons! How could they bear to leave their biological mother? They knew she needed the money, so they made the choice for her.
