Looking at the thatched house again, an old woman wearing simple clothes, many patches, and a withered face stood in front of the thatched house, seeming to be eagerly waiting for something.
Her eyes were empty, and she had been blind for an unknown period of time, but her eyes were still looking forward.
Xiao Yuxuan asked, "Is that old man Ye Feng's mother-in-law? She doesn't look like her."
Gu Chunuan didn't answer, but watched Ye Feng endure the pain and walk home normally, and shouted warmly, "Mother-in-law, your legs and feet are not good, why are you standing here waiting for me? I will help you go back to rest."
Grandma Ye's tense heart relaxed a little, and she asked anxiously, "Is it Feng'er?"
"Well, I'm back. I'm sorry, there was something going on at the college, which delayed me for some time and made you worry."
Ye Feng helped her sit on the stone bench in the yard, his cold eyes filled with uncontrollable distress.
Grandma Ye fumbled to hold his hand and accidentally touched his injured wrist. Ye Feng felt pain and frowned tightly.
"Are you hungry? I've cooked porridge for you and kept it hot. I'm just waiting for you to come back to eat. I'll bring it to you."
Grandma Ye groped her way into the house, holding her tight heart tightly where Ye Feng couldn't see her.
The pungent smell of blood, the pain Ye Feng endured, and the hoarse voice made her blame herself and feel distressed.
"I'll do it myself."
"It's hard for you to study, just sit down and my mother-in-law will serve it to you."
"Yeah." Ye Feng swallowed slightly.
This happens almost every few days.
He didn't know if his mother-in-law noticed it, but she probably did.
But she didn't expose it, and he didn't say anything either.
The porridge was served, neither cold nor hot, just right in your mouth.
Ye Feng's hand holding the porridge warmed slightly, and his cold heart felt a little warmer because of the bowl of porridge.
He had not eaten half a grain of grain for several days and nights. He was hungry and thirsty, and the porridge was just right.
Ye Feng took a sip gently and ate spoonful after spoonful.
"Eat slowly, there's still some in there." Grandma Ye smiled and wanted to reach out to touch his dark hair. She didn't know what she thought of, but she let go dejectedly.
"I was bored a few days ago and made a new dress. Do you think it fits me?"
Ye Feng put down the empty bowl in his hand, looked at the neatly folded clothes on the stone table, and frowned.
"Aren't we out of fabrics at home? Are you doing hard work again to make money?"
"Anyway, I am idle. I can do some work to pass the time."
Ye Feng's eyes were slightly red, and his already hoarse voice contained a hint of sobs and pleading.
"Mother-in-law, I have enough clothes, but you are not in good health. Please don't do that kind of dirty work again. I will feel bad if you do this."
"Silly boy, your clothes are so worn that you can't even mend them. Now you go to the Royal Academy to study. Although the academy provides you with clothes, you still need to have decent casual clothes."
"I'm begging you, I can buy the clothes myself if I need them. You're not in good health, so don't take that kind of job anymore, okay?" Ye Feng almost begged.
Grandma Ye gave a forced smile.
"Okay, I listen to you, I won't take any jobs from now on, I will just rely on you to support me."
"You must be tired too. I've made the bed for you. You go and take a nap first, and then take a shower when you wake up."
"You're not tired, I'll go to town to get you some medicine."
Ye Feng's throat felt sweet and he wanted to cough but forced himself to hold it back.
Many places on his body hurt so much that he couldn't even sit still.
Grandma Ye was blind but not deaf, but she had no choice but to urge Ye Feng to rest.
Ye Feng suddenly stood up, clutching his abdomen tightly, and said hoarsely, "There seems to be no medicine at home. I'll go to town to get some medicine for you."
After that, without waiting for Granny Ye's reply, he took heavy steps and left pretending to be calm.
After leaving the thatched house, Ye Feng couldn't bear it anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood. His legs were trembling, but he gritted his teeth and held on to his injured body to leave, fearing that Granny Ye would find out the clues.
