At the age of eighteen, Gantang was about to take the college entrance examination and was kicked out of the house by her uncle's family. She dragged her suitcase and hid under the eaves of Xu Ying's house to escape the rain. Xu Ying picked her up and took her home after returning from school. Gantang was afraid that Xu Ying would drive her away like his uncle, so he worked hard to behave and called him brother. Xu Ying took Gantang in and went out to work to make money for Gantang's studies. He raised Gan Tang well, and Gan Tang was admitted to the same university as Xu Ying.
