Moreover, when the two elderly in the family knew that their most valued eldest son and daughter-in-law who made them proud were involved in the plane crash, the couple, who was over 70 years old, suddenly died of heart disease due to heartache and anxiety.
In a flash, the Mann family, which originally had eight family members across three generations, were left with only four members in an instant.
Among them, there was also a seven-month-old baby who had lost her parents and grandparents.
At that time, the Shaw family was still in Kidon City, and Marcus' parents were also abroad. Therefore, the seven-month-old baby was temporarily taken care of b y her aunt and uncle.
However, at that time, it had just been a month since Anson's wife had given birth to her child, and she had insufficient breast milk. Due to her selfishness, she could only feed her child first. After her child was well -fed, the remaining would be fed to the seven-month-old baby.
As a result, when Ruth was one and half years old, her height and weight were surprisingly the same as Mindy, who was just one year old.
So much so, Ruth was not as tall nor was she as strong as Mindy.
Not only that, because Anson and his wife were just ordinary workers, and his wife had to take care of two babies by herself, she could not go out to work at all. Therefore, the Mann family’s livelihood was out at elbows.
They had always been lacking in financial resources.
After they have been living in this straitened circumstance for six years, when Anson's wife even planned to give Ruth away, someone from the Shaw family visited.
It was Marcus' mother who came to visit her niece.
Also, Marcus' mother said to the couple as well, "I know that it has been quite difficult for you. I want to bring my niece back and raise her in the Shaw family. If you agree, then I can buy a property for you in South City, and then buy a small house in the countryside for you. This way, both of you will have some security i n your lives. Also, when you’re older, you can leave the house to your daughter and you can go back to live in the countryside."
