Yuan Pan had stayed here for two days before she left, saying someone would come to pick her up. Believing she could bring benefits to the family, her father began to treat her well. Full of hope, she waited, anticipated, and finally, the person Yuan Pan had sent to fetch her arrived.
She put on beautiful clothes she had never seen before, rode in cars and airplanes that she had only seen on the black-and-white TV in the village chief's house, and went to a city that was colorful and bustling, like something out of a dream.
Two aunts took care of her and protected her well, but Yuan Pan never came to see her. Once, while she was sleeping, she overheard a conversation between the two aunts saying Yuan Pan had found a better candidate and was planning to send her back to the mountain village.
