Upon seeing that Big Dipper's mother wanted to continue this topic, Ye Wanwan interjected, "Oh right, auntie. What does Big Dipper's father do?"
Big Dipper's mother was startled, and an inscrutable smile curled on her lips. "Big Dipper's father is a resident of the Independent State while I am not… You should know the rules of the Independent State: Marriage between residents of the Independent State and outsiders is prohibited. Perhaps it was because of me that Big Dipper's father was punished by his own family. Since he was sickly since he was young, he didn't survive the punishment… Big Dipper wasn't acknowledged, and I could only raise Big Dipper on my own. Speaking of which—I have to thank you for helping me take care of Big Dipper all these years."
"Big Dipper was staying with his father at that time and witnessed his father getting punished and dying first hand. Ay, I've let Big Dipper down," Big Dipper's mother continued with a shake of her head.
