章節 827: The Announcement

The Xia family's wealth was astonishing, but it was solely controlled by the wife.

The other Xias lived in the mountains generation after generation, living their days planting crops, refurbishing their buildings, and finding freshwater… They worked hard in exchange for a simple life with a decent standard of living that was different from the world outside. Even so, there were a number of them who were lazy and tried to evade responsibilities when it came to the splitting of tasks. Over time, these were those who lived in poverty as they gave up the opportunity to earn a living.

Xia Shujuan's family was an example.

There weren't that many families who could barely afford food.

That was why she'd been dying to reunite with Xia Yu, to recognize her as her own. She would then have a chance at living a life of luxury.
