Fan Jianguo handed his daughter over to his mother.
He pushed the small cart out the door.
Thinking back to the year since his daughter was born, he felt as if it had all been just a dream.
Suddenly, the family business failed, and their store was in debt.
Because of his daughter and wife's frequent illnesses, the family was deep in debt, and now he only had the means to run a small stall instead of the store.
Selling items like wontons and tea eggs.
The income was just barely enough to make ends meet.
But compared to the once-glorious Fan Jianguo, his current state was so degraded that even he couldn't bear to look at himself.
Those friends who started out with him have long become big bosses, carrying briefcases, driving cars, and using mobile phones.
And he has fallen to this state.
Fortunately, Fan Jianguo didn't blame anyone. Even though his wife and her family played a role in the matter, it was pointless to blame his wife or mother-in-law for such things.
