Bab 837: Chapter 840: Can Only Help This Far

Seeing Almond's face light up with a smile again, Qiao Duo'er felt relieved.

After all, it was the traditional preference for sons over daughters that haunted them. As soon as their family faced slight hardships, they thought of selling their daughter.
