    "A thousand beauties weep, ten thousand fairies grieve; this is not the fault of the women, but rather the injustice of the times and the absurdity of the world." I especially love *Dream of the Red Chamber*—this truly great masterpiece that, through the decline of the four great families of Jia, Wang, Xue, and Shi, exposes the wounds of an era. Therefore, the history it reflects should never be buried in the dust of time, but should be remembered forever.

    What Lin Ruhai gave her would eventually run out, so it was better for her to learn to manage it herself, to make money work for her. With better capital, she would have more confidence. Relying on others is unreliable; the Lin family is currently facing internal and external troubles, and Lin Ruhai's fate is uncertain. She couldn't place the entire burden of protecting Lin Daiyu on his shoulders. After so many days together, who wouldn't have concerns? Therefore, she couldn't bear to see Lin Daiyu's future tragic fate. If she became strong, Lin Daiyu would have an extra layer of protection—why not? Lin Tangyuan became even more motivated to study, and Jia Min couldn't help but feel that her decision to force the adoption of the child was the right one.
