The woman then weakly got up.

Perhaps due to prolonged hunger, her legs gave way before she could even stand properly, and with a thud, she knelt down in front of Ye Yun without warning.

Ye Yun, "..."

There's no need to do that.

The woman didn't get up either, but instead bent down and kowtowed deeply to Ye Yun.

Her head hit the kang (a heated brick bed), but fortunately, the quilt cushioned the impact. Even so, the dull thud still made quite a noise, leaving Ye Yun speechless with astonishment at this sudden action.

"My benefactor... thank you..."

The woman was kneeling and prone, so her expression was obscured, but her shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The woman burst into tears.

The sobs were not loud, but they were very sorrowful, as if someone who had been wandering aimlessly in the dark for a long time had finally discovered the light, and the suppressed grievances and panic could finally be released. She covered her face and couldn't help but cry out in grief, but she didn't have much strength left to vent.

Seeing that she didn't even have the strength to cry loudly, Ye Yun helplessly rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Do you want to get up and eat something first?"

The woman remained kneeling.

The crying subsided considerably, but it seems unlikely that she will calm down anytime soon.

never mind.

Ye Yun didn't want her to continue crying, so she changed the subject and asked, "What's your name?"

"Luo Xiujuan..."

The other person remained kneeling, their voice muffled, but they answered Ye Yun's question honestly.

Being able to answer questions is a good thing. Ye Yun nodded and asked calmly, "Would you like to get up and eat something?"

"..."

Luo Xiujuan fell silent again.

Ye Yun fell silent.

Well then, Ye Yun stopped urging her and turned to leave the room.

Given that the other party had been hungry for a long time, Ye Yun brewed a bowl of easily digestible noodle tea.

When she entered the room and saw the scene on the kang (a heated brick bed), she fell silent for a moment.

Luo Xiujuan remained kneeling.

Luo Xiujuan was in the same position when she left, and she didn't even lift her head once when she came back. Only her slightly trembling shoulders proved that she was still breathing.

"Get up and eat something," Ye Yun said softly, placing the millet porridge on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).

Faced with a weak, helpless woman who was sobbing uncontrollably, she naturally softened her tone, and her words were tinged with sympathy and pity.

However, Luo Xiujuan still didn't move.

Ye Yun felt a sense of doubt, so she gently tapped the woman's thin shoulder with her fingertip and asked tentatively in a soft voice, "Are you still there? Can you hear me?"

"I...I'm too hungry to get up..."

Ye Yun, "..."

Enough said, let's just go for a 6.
