Song Liyun's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly urged him to say a few more words...
After ten days of recuperation, Song Zhenping's injured leg was treated with medicine and plasters, and the pain had lessened. He was also able to sit up and move around a little in the house.
During this time, Yunniangzi would bring the food to his room and set up a table on the kang (heated brick bed) for everyone to eat together.
