Su Leqing dragged her weary body back to that dilapidated house.
As soon as she returned, she was scolded by Mother Yu.
Then, Mother Yu threw out a pile of clothes and demanded Su Leqing to wash them.
Su Leqing numbly fetched two buckets of cold water and started washing the clothes.
Her hands were soaked in the cold water until they became numb, yet she mechanically continued to scrub the clothes.
Her once delicate features had become frightful due to the prolonged labor without proper care.
Her fair skin had tanned with some spots from sun exposure, and her originally slender and clean fingers now had enlarged joints and calluses in her palms.
Her hair had also turned dry and yellow, and her skin had become extremely rough.
No matter how you looked at her, Su Leqing no longer possessed the delicate airs of a young lady of wealth; she now resembled an ordinary rural woman.
As Su Leqing rubbed the clothes, she couldn't help but feel regret.
