She keeps to herself quietly, yet she still has to worry about us. Me, Cheng Chao, and my second brother have all received her help. Even the medicine on you and the chicken soup from earlier—those were all from her.
Ultimately, we're the ones who benefited from her situation.
"cough,"
Cheng Jia was slow and leisurely.
"Look at you, getting anxious again."
Didn't those two boys say they were going to do chores for her? Don't think I didn't tell; they were saying that to Cheng Chao."
Cheng Jin stood up, looked down at him, and spoke without any politeness.
"It's good that you know."
Our Cheng family isn't exactly a hot commodity anymore. Do you still think it's the kind of family where everyone has to fawn over you?
Putting everything else aside, just consider the food, clothes, drinks, and other necessities that people have given you since you came here, as well as the life-saving medicine and ginseng last night. Although they haven't personally taken care of you with all their heart, you know how precious these things are.
For this reason alone, it is only right and proper for Cheng Chao to do the work.
As the older brother, is it unfair that he has to do chores for his younger sister?
Cheng Jia's upturned lips also carried a hint of helplessness.
"Look at you, getting anxious again, aren't you?"
I didn't say anything. I know she's a good person. I just wanted to get to know her better.

Slowly sliding onto the kang (a heated brick bed), Cheng Jia stared blankly at the spiderweb above her head.

I don't regret it, really, especially yesterday. I knew what they were looking for, and I wasn't going to let them succeed.
For so many years, I've lived with that heartless person, just like a blind, deaf, and stupid person. In fact, I despise myself.
Tell me, you've survived so many years and so many schemes, how come you couldn't get past this one?
I don't care, but Xiao Chao has been an orphan for so many years and has suffered so much. Xiao Jin, as his father, I'm sorry.
I know he resents me.
It's understandable that he resents and hates me. He's a perfectly good child, from a perfectly good family, and because of my negligence, he's lived such a long and lonely life without parents. Xiao Jin, I feel terrible.
I know you raised him like a son. I can see that you haven't considered your own problems at all, right?
I'm sorry to him, I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to the Cheng family.
"Xiao Jin, I regret it. I shouldn't have come to this place, I shouldn't have let you know I'm still alive. That way, in your hearts, in Xiao Chao's hearts, Father would still be that towering hero."
