章 6: Doted On

編集者: Atlas Studios

The thatch hut did not shelter them from the wind or rain. It was so cold in the winter that one could freeze to death in it. As the eldest sister, she lived alone in a mud house, and her two brothers had no complaints.

When Ye Qingyu thought of this, a complicated feeling surged in her heart. In this family, the original owner was truly doted on.

Unfortunately, she didn't cherish it!

Ye Qingyu walked to the chicken coop and pigpen in the courtyard and leaned against the fence to look inside. She saw that it was quite clean and there was not much stench.

This was all thanks to her mother, aunt, and grandmother. The women in the family were very diligent. Most of the time, her first younger brother and her youngest brother would also help.

As for the original owner, she had never done such work before. She still treated herself as a delicate young lady like three years ago and didn't even approach these things. She found the pigs and the chickens smelly.

Ye Qingyu secretly scolded the original owner for being pretentious and not recognizing reality when she couldn't even fill her stomach. How annoying!

After wandering around the courtyard, Ye Qingyu did not see anyone. Moreover, the house was very quiet. She guessed that everyone must have gone out to work again.

At this moment, a crisp and surprised voice came from the door. "Big sister, you're awake!"

Ye Qingyu quickly turned around and saw her youngest brother, Ye Qingfeng, coming in carrying a bamboo basket of pigweed on his back.

Ye Qingfeng was 11 years old this year. Since he had been eating poorly for the past few years, he was malnourished and was not tall. He was skinny and his skin was tanned.s

However, his eyes were very bright and big. He looked very smart.

"Big sister, has your fever subsided? Wait for me to wash my hands. I'll go get you some food. Go back to your room and rest first," Ye Qingfeng said naturally as he put down the bamboo basket.

He spoke and did things like a little adult. He didn't think anything of taking care of his big sister, who was seven or eight years older than him.

When Ye Qingyu heard this, she blushed for the original owner. Even she felt embarrassed.

Her eleven-year-old brother had woken up early and had already gone to the mountains to cut a basket full of pigweed. However, as the big sister, she had just woken up and was not even getting food for herself. She was just waiting for the food to be brought to her.

Ye Qingyu felt that the Ye family doted on the original owner too much.

"… Qingfeng, my fever has subsided. Go rest. I'll get the food myself," Ye Qingyu said with a smile. She walked to his side and stood still.

Looking at his thin and weak appearance, Ye Qingyu's beautiful eyes were filled with pity. She couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke his withered hair.

"… Big sister, you're smiling again?" Ye Qingfeng looked at Ye Qingyu's smile and widened his eyes in surprise. He had not seen his big sister smile for a long time.

In the past, his big sister was very beautiful when she smiled. Ever since she was disfigured, her face would be dark all day and she had become very scary. He was actually a little scared of her and did not dare to talk to her or look at her.

But now, his big sister was smiling again. Although half of her face was ruined, his big sister was still so gentle and beautiful when she smiled.

Ye Qingfeng suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He was quite happy, but he also felt like crying.

"Qingfeng, I was disfigured and my engagement was annulled. I didn't think things through for a while. It seems like I've been possessed these few years and didn't act like a proper big sister at all. Not only did I not take care of you, but I even asked you to take care of me and bear the work and responsibilities of the family. I'm sorry."

Looking at his surprised expression, Ye Qingyu's heart ached. She apologized to him for the original owner and prepared for her future changes.

"… Big sister, don't say that. I'm a boy. It's only right for me to do more work!" When Ye Qingfeng heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He was overjoyed.
