This was the only choice for her 4 no one else could care for her grandmother. The old woman's three sons have all died, and Liu Lin couldn't leave5 alone at home where nobody could look after her.
A room with two beds, awardrobe(衣柜), a desk and a table is their new 6 in Chengdu. The room costs 600 yuan per month. Liu Lin's younger brother works in the same city and 7 most of his 2,000 yuansalary(工资) supporting the family.
Liu Lin and her brother were brought up by their 8 . Even though she could not read a clock, their grandmother prepared lunch on time every day when they were 9. They think it's their turn to look after her now.
Liu Lin has 10 a work-study program from the university to help support the family. She reduces help from others. At present, the girl is able to support the family.
