Have you ever wondered about this question? In the classic literary work "Dream of Red Mansions", Daiyu, as an orphan daughter in Jiafu, was sent to live in her grandfather's house. This makes people wonder, since Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai has the ability to support her, why don't you let her stay by her side?
First of all, let's take a look at Lin Ruhai's family situation. In the novel, Lin Ruhai is from a poor scholarly family. Although he has some savings, they cannot be compared to the rich family. This made it impossible for him to provide Daiyu with abundant material conditions and a superior environment. In contrast, Daiyu's maternal grandmother, Jia's mother, was the owner of Jiafu, and she had more wealth and power to provide Daiyu with better living conditions.
Secondly, Daiyu's personality is also one of the reasons why she was sent to her grandfather's house. Daiyu is portrayed in the novel as a sensitive and fragile girl who has a different perspective on the world and her ability to bear it. Lin Ruhai may have realized that leaving Daiyu in a Jia Mansion full of strife and intrigue would not be good for her growth and happiness. In contrast, Daiyu can enjoy a relatively stable environment at her grandfather's house, and receive more love and care.
In addition, Lin Ruhai may have thought about Daiyu's future. He knew that there were huge variables and uncertainties in the Jiafu family. There is a constant power struggle within Jiafu, and everyone has their own conspiracies. Perhaps Lin Ruhai thought that sending Daiyu to her grandfather's house could keep her at a certain distance from these complex disputes and protect her innocence and innocence.
Finally, we can't ignore the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Jia Mu. Although Lin Ruhai is not a relative of Jiafu, he and Jia's mother have a special emotional bond. In the novel, Lin Ruhai once helped Jia's mother and gave her selfless care and help. This made Jia's mother have deep feelings and trust for Lin Ruhai. Perhaps it was because of this affection that Jia's mother agreed to accept Daiyu and give her family warmth and love.
All in all, Lin Ruhai can't afford to raise a daughter, why should he let Daiyu take refuge in her grandfather's house? Judging from the description in the novel, this may be because Lin Ruhai took into account Daiyu's upbringing, personality traits, future prospects, and his own relationship with Jia's mother. Whatever the reason, Daiyu was better upgrown and cared for at her maternal grandfather's house, which also laid the foundation for the development of the whole story.
