"Zhongyi, can you please trust me this time?" Shen Zhilan's tears fell down.

Feeling the coolness on his back, Yang Zhongyi's body stiffened slightly.

"Zhongyi, I really know I was wrong."

"I really wanted to buy rice today, but I fell on the road and sprained my ankle, so I didn't go."

"Will you trust me this time? Loyalty."

Shen Zhilan held Yang Zhongyi tightly, as if Yang Zhongyi would disappear if she let go.

"Loyalty... Loyalty..."

At this time, the voice of Old Lady Yang came from the hut.

When Shen Zhilan heard the sound, she hurriedly let go of her hand. Before Yang Zhongyi could move, she had already run into the hut.

When Old Lady Yang saw that it was Shen Zhilan who came in, she trembled with fear.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Smelling the smell in the house, Shen Zhilan frowned slightly, "Mom, are you..."

"No, I didn't, I didn't poop in my pants..." A trace of panic flashed across Old Mrs. Yang's face.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Yang was so scared that she denied it vehemently, Shen Zhilan felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her head. She was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.

Thinking of her past behavior, Shen Zhilan felt very ashamed.

As a daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law is paralyzed, but instead of taking good care of her and serving her, she even gives her the cold shoulder. She is really worse than an animal.

Knowing that it was useless to say more at this moment, Shen Zhilan wiped her tears, lifted the quilt on Old Lady Yang, lowered her head and began to help Old Lady Yang change her dirty pants and the soiled mattress...

Yang Zhongyi stood by the door and watched.

In the past, Shen Zhilan was unwilling to even step into this room, let alone help her mother change her dirty pants and mattress.

Now seeing Shen Zhilan helping his mother change her dirty pants without any disgust, Yang Zhongyi would be lying if he said he was not moved.

"Zhongyi, please help me get two basins of hot water! I'll help my mother wipe her body." Seeing Yang Zhongyi standing at the door watching, Shen Zhilan raised her eyes and said.

"No, don't bother." Old Mrs. Yang said in panic.

"Mom, the weather is hot now. I'll help you wipe your body so you can sleep more comfortably." Shen Zhilan said softly and comfortingly.

"Also, mother, I am your daughter-in-law. Isn't it my duty to take care of you and serve you? Don't say those polite words anymore."

Old Mrs. Yang was completely stunned, staring at Shen Zhilan in a daze.

It always feels like a dream.

As he was speaking, Yang Zhongyi had already brought hot water.

"Do you need my help?" Yang Zhongyi asked.

Shen Zhilan shook her head. "I'm all that's needed. There are some dried noodles in the cupboard. Go cook them. You and mom can have some first. I'll go buy rice tomorrow morning as soon as it's light."

Thinking of the mess in the kitchen, Yang Zhongyi nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.

Shen Zhilan is actually a good worker, but she is used to being sneaky and cunning.

If she did more, she would feel like she was losing out.

Now that he got serious, he cleaned up Old Lady Yang tidy and neatly in no time.

Not only did they change the sheets, quilt covers, and mattresses, they also helped Old Mrs. Yang wipe her body and wash her hair.

I opened the window to let in some fresh air, and the smell in the cabin dissipated a lot immediately.

It’s been a long time since I saw his mother so energetic.

Yang Zhongyi placed the small table at the head of Old Lady Yang's bed and placed the bowl of noodles on it.

Yang Zhongyi bought the small table at a flea market. It was at the perfect height when placed at the head of the bed for old lady Yang to eat at.

"Mom, just have a bite first."

Although Mrs. Yang’s right hand couldn’t hold things steadily, her left hand was still able to do so.

After such a long period of adjustment, Mrs. Yang's left hand is just as flexible as her right hand.

She picked up the chopsticks easily and put the food into her mouth one by one.

He then brought a bowl of noodle soup to Old Lady Yang and placed it on the small table, and then Yang Zhongyi went to the bathroom.

Seeing Shen Zhilan squatting there and scrubbing the dirt off her pants with great effort, Yang Zhongyi said softly, "Go eat your noodles first. They won't taste good if they clump together. Leave this over there and I'll wash it later."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You go eat first! It will be ready soon." Shen Zhilan didn't even raise her head, and her hands continued to scrub without any pause.

Yang Zhongyi didn't say anything and walked straight in.

One washes, the other clears.

In just ten minutes, the clean sheets, quilt covers, mattresses, clothes, pants, etc. were hung on the bamboo pole outside the window.

Shen Zhilan relaxed after finishing her work. The severe pain in her ankle made her frown and her feet became a little unstable.

Yang Zhongyi, noticing something was wrong, quickly reached out to support her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I just sprained my ankle when I went out. It will be fine after a while." Shen Zhilan shook her head.

When Yang Zhongyi lowered his head, he discovered that Shen Zhilan's ankle was swollen.

He carefully helped Shen Zhilan sit down on the sofa in the living room and brought her some medicinal wine.

"Give it to me! I can do it myself." Shen Zhilan reached out to take it.

Yang Zhongyi simply unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some medicinal wine into his palm, and squatted down to rub her swollen ankle.

Seeing that Yang Zhongyi ignored her, Shen Zhilan couldn't help but turn red in the eyes.

"Zhongyi, I really know I was wrong. Can you please believe me this time?!" Shen Zhilan leaned lightly on Yang Zhongyi's shoulder and said in a crying voice.

Yang Zhongyi didn't say anything, but silently rubbed her ankles.

"During this time at home, I thought a lot. It was all my fault in the past. I was too narrow-minded and too competitive. I wanted to compete with others in everything. Once things didn't go my way, I would find all kinds of trouble and I wanted to go against everyone..."

"When I was little, I felt that my parents were partial to me. Not only did they not let her do any work, but they also spent money to send her to school. I was only three years older than her, but I had to work in the fields like the adults to earn work points to support her education and buy medicine for her. I was not convinced."

"She didn't do anything, so why should she spend the money I earned? So I spit in her medicine jar, stepped on her new book, bullied her when her parents were not around, called her a short-lived ghost, and asked her why she didn't just die..."

"When she was little, she actually liked to follow me. Every time I came home from work, she would follow me, calling me "Second Sister" and "Second Sister"... "

When she said this, Shen Zhilan burst into tears.

"But I don't know since when, she no longer came close to me, and no longer called me second sister sweetly. When she saw me coming back from work, she just looked at me from a distance and turned away..."

Shen Zhilan herself didn't know whether she hated that person more, or resented him more, or...
