Kinship Beyond Blood

David's family suffered a tragic fate, leaving behind his daughter, Ivy, who was subsequently adopted by her uncle, Eric. With a backward mindset, Eric's wife, Susan, looked down on Ivy, thinking she was a useless girl and merely a burden. She made Ivy starve and forced her to do hard labor. When Ivy discovered that Susan planned to send her away, she went to her father's grave and cried. A kind couple, George and Laura, happened to pass by, found her, and decided to adopt the poor girl. Twelve years passed quickly, and Ivy finally gained admission to university. Back then, she chose to hide her acceptance letter from her adoptive parents because they were struggling financially and couldn't afford her education. By doing this, she could also stay home and care for George and Laura. However, George discovered her secret and went to ask his cruel employer for the wages he was owed, but it still wasn't enough. Fortunately, the neighbors banded together and chipped in to lend them money, allowing Ivy to attend university. Upon seeing this, George reminded Ivy never to forget the kindness of their neighbors...
