Daya didn't have many friends before she was married. Although she got along well with several girls from the same village, her family had a lot of chores, and she was kept busy every day, only managing to meet with them during holidays and festivals.
As time went by, naturally, they drifted apart.
Latterly, as they all reached marriageable age, each of them got married and were scattered in different places, resulting in even fewer chances to see each other.
Moreover, Daya had nearly no opportunity to go out during her two years in the Zhang family. She rarely visited her parents' home, let alone others' homes.
So, Daya was actually quite lonely, having no one besides her family to confide in and talk to.
After the scandal of Zhang Shu and Zhou Jian being caught in adultery and empathizing as fellow victims, even being among the first in Jiangyuan County to divorce, Daya and Wei Lan naturally became close.
