I wanted to retort, but considering Rosalind, I had to swallow my anger.
When I was young, my father passed away from overwork.
My mother was depressed every day and even had thoughts of ending her life.
I studied hard and eventually got into university.
I took my mother to the city where I was studying.
My mother was in poor health and could only do some light work.
While going to school, I worked part-time.
I worked so hard just to earn enough money for tuition to continue my studies.
When I finally graduated, I had managed to save up some money and was ready to buy my own house.
I thought I could take good care of both myself and my mother.
I wanted to work hard to provide my mother with a worry-free life.
But my mother was getting older and couldn't adapt to the fast pace of the big city.
Moreover, my grandparents were also aging and needed care.
So, my mother returned to our hometown.
She placed a high value on family. She often said that without relatives, it would be difficult to do anything in the future.
Besides, Rosalind lost her parents when I was very young.
In the years since my mother returned home, she became closer to my grandparents.
