"But you've all been here so long, can't you just take care of me for a bit?" Zheng Lanying said, still crying and choking with sobs.
Zhao Yanli sneered, "Am I your mom? Even if you want me to, I wouldn't want to." Meaning, why should I take care of you?
At this moment, Zhao Yanping came out. She had just been inside, clearly hearing what their argument was about.
"Ladies, mainly it's this Comrade Zheng, please have some pity on me too. I still have a little kid to look after. With my sister by my side, she can help me work.
Comrade Zheng, no matter how pitiable you are, it's still better than a child. She needs care even more. So please don't make things difficult for us.
It's really not easy for me either. I truly don't have the extra capacity to look after others. Please, you must understand."
