After Lian'er fed Jiang's mother the water, she looked up at Jiang's mother, licked her lips, and said with her mouth open, "Mother, didn't you just say you wanted to rest for a while? Your daughter is right beside you, so just rest assured and sleep well."

She blinked and said to Mother Jiang.

She had to let her mother sleep for a while now. She could only leave the house after she fell into a deep sleep.

Otherwise, if she went out at this time, her mother would definitely ask her questions, and if she didn't give a clear answer, she would definitely not allow her to go out.

A'niang was also worried that she would go to the village chief and cause trouble for him.

Even though A Niang was so ill, she was kind-hearted and didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Lian'er also knew that the village chief and many of the villagers in the village had helped her and her mother a lot.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lian'er didn't want to cause trouble for the villagers.

Two days ago, she went to see the village chief without permission because she saw that her mother was seriously ill and Sister Xiaoxia had left Guquan Village again.

Apart from going to the village chief, Lian'er really didn't know who else to turn to for help.

After all, all the young and strong laborers in their village were forcibly taken away by those damn officers and soldiers under the pretext of conscription.

Even the village doctor who was weak and powerless was no exception.

If she hadn't gone to find the village chief at that time, I'm afraid her mother wouldn't even be able to survive this moment.

Fortunately, when the village chief heard about A Niang's injury, he immediately mobilized the villagers and divided them into several groups to find a doctor for them.

Thus saving A Niang's life.

The village chief and the fellow villagers have done everything they can for their family.

Naturally, I can't bother them with the rest of the things.

What's more, the villagers in the village were unable to get enough food, and they were unable to provide the nutrition that A Niang needed.

Lian'er was well aware of the dangers in the back mountains.

But for her mother, she had to take the risk.

Otherwise, considering A-niang's current health condition, let alone improvement, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to escape from the danger of her life.

"Lian'er, you have to promise your mother that you won't go to the village chief again. The village chief is old and has taken care of us enough on weekdays. Now that wars are raging everywhere, the village chief has too many priorities. We can't go and add to his troubles."

Mother Jiang blinked, raised her eyes, looked into Lian'er's eyes, moved her lips, and spoke to her.

She tried hard to cheer herself up, but her voice was still weak.

Although her daughter tried hard to cover it up, Lian'er was her flesh and blood after all. As the saying goes, no one knows a mother better than her. As a mother, she could feel her daughter's worry about her even if she didn't say it.

But they all buried their feelings for each other deep in their hearts and never said them out loud.

Lian'er licked her lips, nodded, and assured: "Mother, I promise you that I will never go to find the village chief. Don't worry, just have a good sleep." She stretched out her finger and continued: "If mother doesn't believe me, Lian'er can swear, I..."

"No need, Lian'er, mother believes in you."

Mother Jiang opened her lips and interrupted Lian'er's words.

As a mother, even if she had doubts in her heart, there was no way she would let her daughter swear in front of her.

Oaths are not something that can be made casually.
