Granny Li had once taken care of Mrs. Li and her daughters, a kindness that not only Hongji remembered, but Mrs. Li and even her daughters remembered Granny Li's benevolence.
Ye Luoqi felt this deeply; from her birth, she had seen how, during their most difficult times, Granny Li had always extended a helping hand to her mother and her sisters.
Granny Li's grandchildren were about the same age as the Ye family's sisters, with the oldest boy already ten years old.
Granny Li had two sons and three daughters; both of her sons were married, adding up to six grandchildren in the household.
In rural areas, older children often took care of the younger ones, which helped reduce the adults' burdens.
While looking after the youngest children and grandchildren, Granny Li also helped with some farm work, allowing her family members to work outside and supplement the household income.
