'In this life, I will take Zhi Shan's place and continue to take good care of you.'
"But, madam... I don't understand what you mean by this."
Xu Lei directed his last question to the old woman on the bed.
"That's right."
Xu Yan'er also looked to the old woman on the bed. "Mother, what do you mean? Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
"Zen Master, thank you for taking care of my daughter and me all these years."
The old woman, in turn, looked at Xu Lei. "They say time reveals a person's heart, and I have seen yours.
As a helpless mother and daughter, a life of hardship was to be expected.
But because of you, I've been able to live out my later years in peace.
I've also earned the respect of many people, an experience I've never had before in my life.
Our Xu Family is also highly respected by our neighbors, and that's all thanks to you.
Moreover, you've spoiled Yan'er rotten, treating her like a true young lady, a little princess.
This girl... I'm really worried about her.
