Searcy was taken aback, as she, who was usually sharp-tongued, didn't know how to respond to this question.
Jin Luoyin continued, "Mother reads the ledger every day, her eyes are getting worse!"
Listening to these words, Searcy felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
She thought for a moment and said, "Your brother hasn't returned yet. Maybe they won't stop until they can no longer run or see."
Jin Luoyin suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Why wait until they can no longer run or see? I am grown up; I can go find my brother."
"You?" Searcy looked at her in surprise and said, "If your mother had given birth to a boy, by now, at fifteen, he could take over your father's work. But you, a girl, could indeed take over your mother's work, but you dislike looking at ledgers!"
Jin Luoyin replied, "What's the problem with being a girl? I can dress as a man."
