Chapter 124 Family Reunion (10)_1
Lady Du took a few soap beans and while scrubbing her husband’s body, she smiled gently, "It’s all over, Wei’er has opened a restaurant and everything at home has improved."
His wife had just told him about the family’s recent struggles. Even though her version greatly differed from the old lady’s, he chose without hesitation to believe his wife.
"Who would have thought that our timid Wei’er, would quietly accomplish such a great feat!"
Mu Zhongqing felt somewhat emotional. Just a moment ago, seeing his daughter casually giving away handfuls of silver to beggars, he hardly recognized her. This was not only due to the drastic change in her appearance, but mostly because of the inherent composure that she exuded - calm, serene, and soothingly reassuring.
"Ah, she wasn’t originally like this. Ever since she fainted from hunger, her personality changed!"
Speaking of their daughter, Lady Du felt both proud and heartbroken. Their daughter’s transformation was born out of the harsh realities of life. Girls her age in other families were under their parents’ protection, living in the deep chamber of their boudoir, never setting foot outside. But their daughter had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family, competing and fighting in the outside world, just like a man. Despite the improved condition at home now, every time she saw her daughter venturing out, she felt a heavy pang in her heart.
Mu Zhongqing kept silent, his fist soaking in the water clenched tight.
The thought of his daughter fainting from hunger and nearly starving to death, despite it being a thing of the past, was still deeply painful. She was his child!
