The next day, Shang got up at dawn and began to work diligently before Yun Xiao awoke.
In the past, Shang had seen a crippled man get up and walk.
This was back when he had been living in a different province. Back then, the man had been a carpenter. Due to an unfortunate accident, he had lost the use of both his legs.
He had been around forty years old and had a young wife and three children under his care.
Finding himself in a situation where he couldn't continue his work as a carpenter, the man's situation was dire. Either his family would starve to death or he would have to sell himself as a nobleman's servant. In order to avoid this fate, the man managed to miraculously walk within three months.
Although the cripple was a man, it didn't matter. Whether one was a man or a woman, as long as they had the will to walk, there was always a chance.
