"Brother Bai Luo."
As Bai Luo was feeling troubled, Miya quietly approached and said, "Can I ask a few questions?"
"Hmm?"
Bai Luo smiled gently, "What questions do you have, Miya?"
"Why is Snow White's mother so mean? Isn't she the princess's mother?"
"Er..."
Boy, the first question stumped Bai Luo.
"Because, this, um..."
Bai Luo didn't know how to explain; he wanted to say that stepmothers generally aren't as kind to children as their own mothers are.
However, that's not always the case.
At least in Yatun, this really didn't apply.
Because many of the children of the women there weren't actually their own, when relatives, friends, or even neighbors passed away, the mothers of Yatun would take care of their children with the same attention and care.
Just like Sister Alaya, the girl next door who looked after Shuster's siblings as tenderly as a mother would.
In Yatun, every man could be a father to the children, and every woman, a mother in their eyes.
