As soon as He Shi finished speaking, Ye Erya shivered.
Last time she hit Ye Jiu, but He Shi used a cane to whip her half to death.
She couldn't use Dimensional Space like Ye Jiu to trade for medicine, so she could only endure it; she had just recovered enough to get out of bed, and already she was ordered to do housework.
Now, her wounds weren't fully healed, and every time she heard He Shi's sharp voice, she felt them ache anew.
Ye Jiu looked at Ye Erya, who was almost curling into a ball, and found it hard to imagine how she had the courage to hit that rock initially.
Ye Jiu tugged on He Shi, worried she might get too worked up and upset, and quickly comforted her, "Mom, no one can hurt me anymore, don't worry. I'm fine, really."
