Lin Cuihua cried alone, tears streaming endlessly as she finished a plate of dumplings.
After she finished eating, Lin Cuihua seemed to be in a slightly better mood and immediately started preparing dinner for the whole family.
Her sister-in-law, who had come home early from the breeding farm intending to make dinner, found that Lin Cuihua had already done most of the work.
"Mom, I'll take over. Go get some rest."
Lin Cuihua felt a little embarrassed. She said nothing, but she relinquished her task.
Her sister-in-law worked deftly. As Lin Cuihua turned to go inside, she said, "Mom, you work so hard."
Those five simple words made Lin Cuihua's tears stream down her face once more.
On any other day, Lin Cuihua would have retorted with something like, 'What's the use of saying such pointless things?'
But right now, her emotions were like a small boat tossed about by the waves, completely beyond her control.
Lin Cuihua hummed in response and went back into the room.
