Yunyi I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up and suddenly opened my eyes, it was already bright outside. Even in the summer, the temperature in the forest is very low. But Yunyi didn't feel any discomfort during this sleep. Waking up, the whole body was warm, and there was no danger encountered.
Truly a kind-hearted god. Yunyi is extremely certain that if he persists, the god will lend a helping hand.
Yunyi returned home seemingly empty-handed but actually full of confidence. Her mother was still half-asleep and weak, but clear-minded when awake.
She cooked some easily digestible rice porridge and nutritious meat soup, then woke her mother up and helped her sit up.
Mother looked weak, she ate only half a bowl and waved her hand to tell Yunyi that she was full. Taking care of a patient, the most helpless thing is probably this kind of powerlessness. No matter how hard you try, you can only watch her body and spirit deteriorate day by day.
Yunyi slightly raised her eyebrows, showing a sad and tearful expression, but she quickly controlled herself, just pursing her lips slightly and scooping up a spoonful of meat soup to feed her mother, trying to get her to eat something again. Unexpectedly, this met with strong resistance from her mother, who waved her hand in refusal and knocked over the bowl.
"I don't want to eat." The woman, with loose skin and lifeless eyes, leaned back on the bed, looking at her young and beautiful daughter. She asked, "Where did you go last night?"
Mother was originally a strong and gentle woman. In Yunyi's memory, she used to smile a lot. But years of illness have turned her into someone who is easily angered and irritable.
Yunyi lowered her head to clean up the spilled food, then stood up with a smile on her face.
"I was at my master's place, he was out seeing patients, and I was helping to tend the fire and brew medicine. He came back a bit late, and you were already asleep."
Yunyi's master, who was used as a shield, is the highly respected doctor who often comes to treat Yunyi's mother. He is also the only doctor in the village, highly respected.
But as he gets older, he needs someone to help him prepare and fetch the medicine. Yunyi is very grateful and often helps out.
Yunyi's mother did not ask this question to blame her. Yunyi gave a reasonable explanation, so she didn't continue to ask.
"The village chief came yesterday. The village chief is about the same age as my mother, and he is friends with my father. He often comes to visit our home.
His visit was nothing out of the ordinary. Yunyi thought that my mother had just finished cooking, and felt a bit guilty, so I casually responded to him while chatting with myself, 'Hmm.'"
She kept busy with her work, embroidering sachet.
In the evening, she went to the forest, taking up some of her work time. She had to make use of every moment to keep up with her schedule.
"He proposed to me."
Yunyi Her hand paused for a moment, then she thought that it was not surprising. Her mother was a famous beauty when she was young, but now she looks haggard, her radiance diminished. Yet, like a delicate willow in the wind, she is still beautiful.
She... is also very happy, but if her mother were to remarry, she would not live with her mother. She would live alone.
Separated from her mother, who she has always relied on, she finds it hard to accept. But perhaps with someone else taking care of her mother, she can finally do the things she has always wanted to do.
Yunyi didn't notice her mother's watchful eyes, and seeing that she didn't object, tentatively completed the sentence: "He wants to marry you, and I agreed."
Yunyi put down the sachet she was embroidering, raised her head, and looked incredulous. Her actions were so fast that she couldn't conceal her disgust and anger, and more than that, her incredulity. The person she had always respected as an elder and her own biological mother had decided her fate without asking for her opinion, and it was such an outrageous matter.
Before she could speak out against it, her mother spoke in a firm tone, "Naturally, the engagement should be decided by the parents. His wife passed away many years ago, leaving no children behind. If you marry him, you won't suffer."
Seeing that Yunyi remained unmoved, her mother softened her tone and continued, "I am your mother, I raised you all these years. Would I harm you? I've been in poor health these years, and you've been shouldering all the responsibilities at home and outside. You've worked hard. I can't burden you any longer. While I still have some strength left, I want to see you get married with my own eyes."
Yunyi I may be angry, but I'm still afraid that my mother's body can't take it. I don't confront her directly, but help her lie down and comfort her: "Let's wait a bit longer for the marriage. Master said that there will be healing herbs growing on the edge of the forest during this time. It looks like wild grass during the day, but it glows slightly at night, making it distinguishable. I will be guarding the herb as it matures at night during this time. You will get better soon."
Upon hearing this, the weak woman only nodded from a distance, as if she had long lost hope, but did not continue to urge her to get married or oppose her going to the forest to collect herbs.
