When he first got together with his wife, she had to carry heavy bags for two months straight to make a living. He still remembers the bruises on her shoulders every night.
At the side of the boat, the girl bent down, exerted her strength, carried a large bag on her right shoulder, and then stood up.
The weight of the big bag made the girl bend over slightly. After a while, she finally took a step forward to walk out. Because she was limping, her walking was already unbalanced, and with the weight on her shoulders pressing down on her, she almost lost her balance and fell several times.
Zhang Xiuyuan was terrified.
She didn't know how long she had been carrying it, but the back of her clothes was soaked with sweat, and sweat kept dripping from her forehead.
When they reached their destination, the girl unloaded her big bag, breathed a sigh of relief, and then without delay, she walked towards the boat.
Zhang Xiuyuan suddenly remembered what Chengzi and the others said.
He said that all these children were raised by Shen Chaomu and Shen Ci.
It is so difficult for two people, especially Shen Chaomu who has a limp, to raise so many children.
Zhang Xiuyuan watched for a long time without going forward to disturb him, and left after a while.
Shen Chaomu carried the heavy bag for the entire afternoon before leaving.
The reason why people come here to carry heavy bags is because it is a physically demanding job and does not require anything else. Even if you have a limp, as long as you can carry it, it's fine. Besides, carrying heavy bags is also more profitable.
After carrying the big bag, Shen Chaomu ate something and ran to a blacksmith shop.
In the blacksmith's shop, the fire was burning fiercely, and a middle-aged blacksmith was working on the iron.
"Here you are, come and help." said the blacksmith.
Shen Chaomu didn't say much and immediately stepped forward to help.
She is an apprentice in the blacksmith shop and comes to work as a blacksmith every night.
Shen Chaomu took the special hammer used for blacksmithing and struck it hard again and again. The metal collided, making a crisp and loud sound.
The fire danced, reflecting her delicate yet resolute face.
The right arm holding the hammer was a little sore and weak because he had carried a large bag in the afternoon, but Shen Chaomu still persisted without showing any discomfort.
After working for an hour and a half and getting paid, Shen Chaomu left.
Working three jobs every day is Shen Chaomu's daily life. It is very tiring and busy, but looking at the money in the bag, thinking of the fruit vendors in the dilapidated temple, and thinking of the young man he met today, Shen Chaomu happily hummed an unknown tune.

Ever since Shen Ci returned to the dilapidated temple, Qing'er has been thinking about him.
That day, he didn't have to help out in the store, so he bought a lot of things, got on a carriage, and headed towards the ruined temple.
As soon as they approached the dilapidated temple, they heard childish voices coming from inside, as if they were telling a story. Qing'er had no intention of responding, but listened quietly outside.
The story seemed to have just begun, and by the time Qing'er finished listening to the story, her legs were already a little numb.
It is a story about a parent and a child. The protagonist of the story is a five-year-old boy named Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan's parents gave birth to Yuanyuan when they were quite old. Their family was poor, but they loved Yuanyuan very much and wanted to give him the best of everything. Once, there was a flood in their hometown, which submerged all the fields. That year, the crops in the fields were completely destroyed.
The already poor family became even poorer, and Yuanyuan fell ill again.
