Housekeeper Yan looked at her sweet smile, a little stunned, then remembered her words and nodded seriously, "I must find the best place for the young lady's mother to sleep."
"Yeah." Shi Qi's eyes narrowed with joy, and the strength hidden in that smile made everyone silent.
Aunt Liu watched Shi Qi walk into the house, and stood quietly beside her mother He Qian's grave, smiling.
"Shi Qi is a very sensible child." Aunt Liu was sad and sighed.
Aunt An also asked distressedly, "This place is so bad, how do Miss Shi Qi and her mother survive?"
"It should be said that Shi Qi almost always spends these days alone," said Aunt Liu.
Butler Yan and Aunt An looked at her in confusion.
"Six years ago, the mother and daughter moved in. Less than a year later, her mother fell ill. Shi Qi was only eight years old at the time, and she began to work to support her mother's illness and daily life. She washed clothes, washed dishes, and swept the floor to earn money, and went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and buy medicine."
"Life became increasingly difficult. She fainted from hunger several times and even had to fight with others for food, resulting in a bloody head. Yet, she still managed to smile and never cried, because she would say, 'Mom needs her.'"
"For five whole years, her mother was bedridden for five years, and Shi Qi took care of her for five years. Such a weak girl was so stubborn that she refused to fall down."
"But when her mother passed away, Shi Qi almost collapsed. If her mother hadn't told her to stay alive, we might not be able to see such a vibrant Shi Qi today."
I heard Aunt An covering her mouth, and it felt like my heart was being stabbed with pain.
It’s hard to imagine that Shi Qi is still so young, yet he is so sensible and can take on everything.
Butler Yan looked at Shi Qi in front of him without much emotion. He had white skin, black hair, and looked lonely and cold, isolated from the world.
She was clearly a sweet and cute little girl before, how could she have such an experience and yet appear so calm and composed.
If you don't care, then you are hiding it very deeply.
Whatever it is, it's sad.
Over two days, Butler Yan spent some time finding a place with good feng shui for Shi Qi's mother to be buried.
Shi Qi was smiling from beginning to end.
Mom, sleep well. You are so tired and miserable.
Yejiu, thank you for giving my mother a good resting place. From now on, even if I am tied in your hand, I will not run away.
I will give you whatever you want, including myself!

Shi Qi returned to Jinyuan and became the sweet, cute and energetic little girl again.
Butler Yan also called Yejiu to tell him about Shi Qi's activities in the past three days. After a few minutes of silence on the other end, he just said "I know" and hung up indifferently.
Butler Yan couldn't understand Jiu Ye's true thoughts, which were as heavy as Jiu Ye's childhood.
Suddenly, I understood.
Both of them are very thoughtful people, the kind who will be either dead or injured if their scars are touched.
Butler Yan shook his head helplessly.

After that, Shi Qi began his exquisite life every day in Jinyuan.
Because he heard that Aunt An had experience as a teacher, he suggested that she teach him.
Aunt An also agreed. Miss Shi Qi was already fourteen years old, which was the right age for her to go to school, so she found some previous study materials to guide her.
But no one expected that Miss Shi Qi had a strong learning ability. She could learn something after just one try, and she could remember every word she read.
This is every teacher's favorite student, so Aunt An was very surprised.
He finished absorbing the primary school curriculum in just over a month, and then Aunt An brought the middle school course materials. Unexpectedly, Shi Qi found it easy to learn.
