Li Xiong did not think too much about it and immediately cut off all ties with his family. Without looking back, he went to the city with Sun Ying to work and happily became the Sun family's matrilocal son-in-law.
However, when Li Xiong arrived, he found out that Sun Ying's father was not part of the cadre at all. He was just an old man who worked as a doorman at the recycling center. The job that he found for Li Xiong was nothing cushy either. He worked as a scavenger and collected recyclables to sell.
