Chapter 345: Overwork

“All these years, you’ve been working hard for Father, us, and this family, but I’ve never heard you say what you like. In the past, I didn’t dare to think about it. Now that I’ve grown up and Father has found a way to earn money, Mother, why don’t you think for yourself and do whatever you like?!” Li Xiaoran said softly.

When Zhao Xiu heard her daughter’s considerate words, she felt that everything she had experienced in the past was worth it.

With a daughter like this, she should be content.

“Do you think I’m an eyesore working in the shop?” Zhao Xiu teased.

“Mother, you know that’s not what I meant! Working in the shop is too tiring, and your body can’t take it. I’ll find many more people to work for you in the future. You can also do what you want. Mother, you’ve sacrificed most of your life for us. It’s time to live for yourself!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Live for myself?” Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but feel dazed when she heard this.

She had been cared for by her parents when she was young. Even though she had a few younger brothers, they were especially sensible.

At that time, she only wanted her family to live a peaceful and loving life together.

Later on, after she married Li Shun, she endured the grievances for Li Shun’s sake. She seemed to have gradually forgotten what she liked and what she wanted to do.

Now that her daughter suddenly asked this question, she couldn’t remember what she wanted to do.

“Mother, you must have something you want to do. In the past, you didn’t have the chance or time to do it, but now, you can! Why don’t you think about what you want to do? If you want to do it, do it. Don’t be afraid of causing us trouble. I hope you can find what you like and do what you want to do!” Li Xiaoran also sensed Zhao Xiu’s confusion and encouraged her.

After that, the mother and daughter didn’t return to the shop. Instead, they went straight to Li Shun’s farm to help him farm and water the plants.

Zhao Xiu was distracted all day. Li Shun looked at her several times.

Just as Li Shun was about to ask what was going on, Li Xiaoran stopped her father and told him what had happened.

“I see. I was wondering why your mother looked so distracted! Then I won’t disturb her. Let her think about it!” When Li Shun heard that, he gave up on asking.

At night, Zhao Xiu lay in bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Seeing his wife like this, Li Shun asked.

“What are you thinking about? Even if you can’t think of what you like to do, you don’t have to force yourself! Sleep first. Think about it tomorrow!”

Seeing that she had woken her man up, Zhao Xiu nodded and turned around to sleep.

However, Zhao Xiu still wasn’t sleepy.

At this moment, Li Shun was already asleep and snoring from time to time.

Zhao Xiu couldn’t fall asleep anymore, so she put on a shirt and sat in front of the window to look at the bright moon.

To be honest, Zhao Xiu;s daughter’s words today made her reflect on herself for the first time in her life.

What had she lived her life for?

She didn’t even know her own preferences.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu felt like a failure.

Just like that, Zhao Xiu fell asleep in front of the window.

When Li Shun woke up in the middle of the night, he was shocked to see his wife sleeping in front of the window.

Li Shun called out a few times but didn’t hear Zhao Xiu’s response, so he touched Zhao Xiu’s forehead.

Li Shun was shocked.

“Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, hurry up and find your sister. Your mother is sick. Her forehead is burning!”

Soon, everyone in the house woke up. Li Xiaoran immediately found Luo Ziyang and asked him to take her mother’s pulse.

Luo Ziyang took Zhao Xiu’s pulse and said, “It’s fine. She just caught a cold and has a fever, probably because she’s been overworked for a long time. In addition, something has been bothering her, so she fell ill! My brother left me a lot of medicine. I’ll go get it now. Her fever will subside quickly after taking

Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Luo Ziyang’s words and asked him to get the medicine.

Soon, Zhao Xiu took the medicine.

After that, Li Xiaoran and Li Shun took turns taking care of Zhao Xiu. Four hours later, Zhao Xiu’s high fever finally subsided.

When Zhao Xiu woke up again, she felt lethargic and weak. As soon as she spoke, she was shocked by her hoarse voice.

“What’s wrong with me?”

When Li Shun saw that Zhao Xiu had woken up, he happily went to pour a glass of warm water.

Zhao Xiu felt very thirsty. When she saw the glass of water beside her mouth, she quickly drank it.

“Slow down. You had a high fever last night. Xiaoran and I waited for you for the entire night. Now, Xiaoran has gone to make porridge for you. Wait a moment. The porridge will be ready in a while!” Li Shun slowly raised the cup to make it convenient for Zhao Xiu to drink water as he briefly explained what had happened last night.

When Zhao Xiu heard that she had a fever, she was shocked. No wonder her throat was sore.

“Tell me, what can’t you figure out? Why did you have to lean against the window in the middle of the night?! You even fell asleep with a high fever!

When I saw that you were sick, I was almost frightened to death! Fortunately, Ziyang knows medicine and our son-in-law left medicine at home. Otherwise, you would have suffered!” Seeing that Zhao Xiu had finally woken up, Li Shun voiced his worry.

“Wife, don’t be like this in the future. You’re really scaring me! Look at you. In the past, your life was so bitter and tiring, yet you didn’t get any serious illnesses. Why are you sick now?!”

“Father, you should be happy that she had never been seriously ill before. Otherwise, whether or not you still had a wife to accompany you would be uncertain!” Li Xiaoran happened to come in with a bowl of porridge. When she heard her father’s words, she retorted, “Besides, she fell ill because she was too tired in the past. She can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate!” With that, Li Xiaoran brought out the porridge and placed it in her father’s hand.

“Father, Mother has sacrificed so much for you.. Now that Mother is sick, you should take good care of her! Here, feed Mother this bowl of porridge!”
