Stone Village, Zhong Family
Xiaoxiao was still in the bath barrel, her eyes tightly shut, motionless, truly a state resembling a living dead.
Yang Ming, having learned the truth, no longer collapsed into tears as before. He just wanted to quietly accompany his wife until she left.
He continually warmed her with hot water, sitting next to the bath barrel and talking to her.
"Wife, make sure to eat well when you go back, and absolutely don't starve yourself."
"If something happens, don't be anxious. You tend to get overheated when you are worried, and don't faint again."
"Life's work isn't done in a day, so please don't push yourself too hard."
"Without me by your side, you must take good care of yourself."
"Don't start fights with people over nothing, no matter what, you're still a woman, we can't afford the immediate losses."
"Remember to sleep early."
"I don't know if you can still remember me, but now I hope you can forget. That way, you won't suffer like I am."
