"Mom, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to lie down at home?"
On the village's main road, Lin Yifan came running hurriedly.
He reached out to snatch the broom from his mother's hand.
He had just returned home, but found no one there. After asking the neighbors, he found out that his mother had gone out early to sweep the road.
"I've been feeling stronger these past two days after taking medicine. How could I just lie around? We've sold everything we could at home over the years. Your second uncle arranged for me to be a village cleaner, and I earn eight hundred yuan a month. I haven't swept for days; we shouldn't take advantage of others."
To pay for Lin Yifan's medical treatment, his mother had leased out the family's several acres of land to others.
They even sold the contract for Toad Gully.
"Mom, then don't sweep anymore. Leave this kind of thing to me in the future. Don't worry, I'll earn the money."
Lin Yifan said while holding the broom.
