......
Ye Wanying understood Ling Jin's words, and her feeling was... how to put it, a dense, tingling ache in her heart, yet also a warm, comforting sensation.
"Thanks."
For a moment, I really didn't know what to say.
Ling Jin shook her head slightly, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said slowly, "Yingying, there's no need to say thank you to your mother."
It was clear that Ling Jin was genuinely happy; her eyes and brows were filled with a pure, unadulterated smile—one of the most beautiful human emotions.
It was Xiao Jiu's sudden shout from inside the pavilion that interrupted the two people outside.
"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"
As Ling Jin asked the question, she was already walking over there. There was no doubt that Ling Jin truly treated Xiao Jiu as her own son.
After all, he didn't have the chance to be there for his own children as they grew up. Now, with Xiao Jiu, perhaps God took pity on him and gave him the opportunity to make up for his past regrets.
Ye Wanying followed, which made both mother and daughter burst out laughing: "Aren't you going to get up? Isn't the ground cold?"
Hearing her mother's words, Xiao Jiu twisted her body, which had just fallen flat on her back, and pushed herself up from the ground: "Mom, there's a cockroach!" she said to Ling Jin.
Otherwise, would you have fallen because of that stinky cockroach?
Sure enough, after Xiao Jiu got up, there was a cockroach corpse on the ground, its intestines spilling out from being crushed.
The pavilion had never been lived in, so there were bound to be cockroaches and such. Luckily, I checked it when I was cleaning and there were no rat holes or anything like that. I then picked up the broom from the side, but Xiao Jiu snatched it away from me.
"I'll sweep."
Xiao Jiu has really grown a lot during this time. Although she can't fully understand everything yet, she has a vague feeling that from now on, she and her mother may have to live with this amazing older sister.
Back in school, I heard from a classmate that he also lived at his sister's house, but life wasn't easy for him. He had to eat the last meal every day, while his nephew and niece went out to play, leaving him to stay home and clean with the nanny. His sister's husband didn't like or welcome him, so his sister didn't dare say anything.
So Xiao Jiu already knew what she would have to do. She was still young and couldn't take care of her mother, so she could only live at this amazing older sister's house. During this time, she would be responsible for all the household chores.
Teachers always say: It's never wrong to be diligent.
That classmate also worked for the nanny, which is why he was able to stay at his sister's house.
Although Ye Wanying couldn't quite figure out what the child meant, she could tell something was off. Without a word, she snatched the broom from Xiao Jiu's hands.
"You little boy, go stand over there. There are books over there, you can take a look." With that, he swept the cockroach into the dustpan, then carried it out to empty it.
Xiao Jiu was quite taken aback, staring blankly at the doorway, and whispered, "Mom, why won't she let me sweep?"
Ling Jin, being a mother, had tried her best and knew exactly what Xiao Jiu was thinking. She pulled Xiao Jiu into her arms and hugged her, saying, "Xiao Jiu, your sister is fine. You don't need to worry about anything, okay? Mom is here. None of what you're worried about will happen!"
