The carpenter looked at Zhao Xiaoshu with eyes full of resentment.
Unfortunately, he could neither speak nor move.
He wanted to curse but couldn't, wanted to fight but couldn't.
He could only lie there like a pile of rotten meat, letting others do as they pleased.
The resentment in Zhao Xiaoshu's heart suddenly dissipated.
"Xiaoshu, does your mother really treat you well?" Ya'er asked softly.
Zhao Xiaoshu nodded emphatically, "Yes, very well."
Ya'er smiled happily, "I am also well now, very well. My mother made the decision to betroth me to my senior. When I come of age, we'll marry. Then, we'll manage the shop together and take care of my parents."
"After spring, I'll go to school to study, I will study hard, and when I succeed in the future, I'll be a support for Sister Ya'er so no one can bully Sister Ya'er and Master." Zhao Xiaoshu also smiled, "My mother says I'm naturally suited for studying."
"Then you must work hard, don't let Aunt Zhao down." Ya'er advised.
