章節 237: Chapter 237: He Dares Not

...

It wasn't until the third day of Zhang Lijuan's visit to the city that Tong Yao was informed over a phone call. This came as a surprise to her, Zhang Lijuan had shown more clarity than she'd expected, seizing the golden opportunity to marry into wealth.

It wasn't that she was underestimating Zhang Lijuan; under the conditions she was in, if she didn't marry Si Boyi, like most women, she might likely end up tilling a few acres of land for a living. By her forties or fifties, she'd be leaving her home to do laborious jobs -- living a life of stability but with strains.

If she was unlucky, she might lead a hard life without even achieving stability.

Being with Si Boyi would be different. His current salary alone would be enough to provide a decent lifestyle for the two of them in the city.

Lin Fengying was still young and healthy, requiring no extra care, and could even help look after their children. For a commoner, this kind of life could be considered a good one.
