Zhou Yian came to the hospital, completed the discharge procedures, hailed a taxi, and took Zhou's mother home.

Due to hemiplegia, Mother Zhou could not walk, so she bought a wheelchair. When she arrived at her community, there was no elevator, so she put her things downstairs and climbed up to the sixth floor step by step with Mother Zhou on her thin body.

After carrying Zhou's mother home, she went back to take the wheelchair and things upstairs. She climbed up and down several times and finally moved all the things upstairs, panting and tired.

Mother Zhou felt distressed when she saw Zhou Yian running back and forth. She wanted her to stop working so hard, but she could not help her in any way. She was so anxious that she kept mumbling some unclear words.

After returning home, I made the bed for Mother Zhou, gave her a bath, cooked, fed her, and tidied up things. By the time I finished everything, it was already late at night.

Zhou Yian lay on the bed, finally having time to think and rest. In the past two days, she was like a spinning top, falling asleep as soon as she touched the bed, but today she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Fu Shenyan's name kept appearing in her mind. She took out her cell phone and dialed that number for some unknown reason. She held her breath, thinking about how to tell him.

He attacked her that day, and ended up being badly injured, but she didn't even know whether he was alive or dead. This made her feel guilty and uneasy.

However, a cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later. The other end of the phone kept repeating this sentence, and Zhou Yian hung up the phone in disappointment.

The man's appearance and departure were both so sudden that she didn't know whether his departure this time would be the same as usual and he would appear again after a while, or whether he would never appear again from now on.

Li Li's departure, Fu Shenyan's disappearance, she was fired from her job, Zhou's mother fell and became unable to take care of herself, and she lost her virginity to Xu Zehao by accident. These events that happened one after another made her physically and mentally exhausted and she saw no hope.

Zhou Yian fell asleep with her mind full of things. Although she was tired during the day, she did not sleep well that night. She dreamed that Fu Shenyan was walking towards her in tattered clothes and covered in blood. He had his usual rogue smile on his pale face and kept asking her if she wanted to go with him.

Just like that, the day dawned in a daze and a new day began.

She prepared breakfast for Zhou's mother and then began to feed her. At this time, Zhou's mother was completely dependent on someone. Not only did she need someone to carry her to the toilet, but even simple things like eating and drinking required someone to serve her. Now she was like a baby who could not take care of herself.

Mother Zhou eats very slowly and can only be fed slowly, one bite at a time, chewing slowly. Even so, food mixed with saliva cannot be avoided from flowing down her mouth while she eats. Zhou Yian can only wipe the corners of her mouth after feeding her.

After dinner, Zhou Yian moved the wheelchair to the sixth floor, and then carried Zhou's mother down from the sixth floor. He carried her down from the sixth floor several times, and then pushed her to bask in the sun. Climbing the stairs back and forth made her so tired that she couldn't even straighten her waist.

She pushed Mother Zhou to the park and told her everything fun and interesting she saw along the way. When they got to the park, she tried to support Mother Zhou as they walked, but every time she stood up and took two steps, Mother Zhou was so tired that she collapsed on her and couldn't move. Her thin body became Mother Zhou's support.

When the time was almost up, she pushed Zhou's mother to buy some vegetables, and then pushed Zhou's mother back to prepare lunch. After lunch, Zhou's mother took a nap, and Zhou Yian finally had some free time to do other things.

She didn't know why the club suddenly terminated the contract with her, but this matter must have something to do with Fu Shenyan's brother. Maybe he felt that he was the one who caused Fu Shenyan to be like this, so he taught her a lesson. She didn't dare to think about what would happen to Boss Gao's family.

She opened a recruitment website to find a suitable job, but after looking at all the nearby positions, she couldn't find a job that suited her.

Zhou Yian fell into anxiety as he looked at the four-digit account balance on his mobile phone. Losing his job meant losing all his financial resources, but his mother's illness made it impossible for her to leave his side.

Suddenly, she remembered that the nearby large farmers' market seemed to be recruiting temporary workers, and she only needed to go there for a few hours in the morning and evening. She quickly took her ID card and cell phone and went out.

The lady in charge of recruitment at the market frowned and looked at Zhou Yian in confusion, "You? Come to work here? Don't tease me, little girl. You look so young and pretty, how could you possibly come to work in a place like this market? The work here is tiring and dirty, only older people would come here to find work."

Zhou Yian looked at the aunt sincerely and said seriously, "Auntie, I'm not kidding, I really want this job, I beg you, I need this job urgently."

"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid you can't bear the hardship. Although there isn't much physical or heavy work for you to do here, sorting vegetables is tiring and dirty. You're just a little girl, and it's easy to find any job. There's no need for you to suffer here." The aunt looked at Zhou Yian and seemed a little hesitant. Although the girl in front of her was dressed simply, she was so beautiful that no matter how plain her clothes were, they couldn't hide her unique temperament.

"I can do it, Auntie. Please let me try first. If it doesn't work, I won't ask for a penny of salary from you. Is that ok with you?" Zhou Yian pleaded with expectation. She needed a job so much.

Seeing her sincere attitude and pitiful appearance, the aunt's heart softened, and she finally said, "Well, you can give it a try. You have to come to work at 5 am and sort the vegetables in advance. You are usually busy until 7 pm, and come to help pick up the leftovers from 9 to pm."

"Really? Thank you, Auntie." She bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, her tone full of happiness that could not be concealed.

"Hey, little girl, why are you being so polite? Come over tomorrow morning and try to see if you can adapt to this job. If you can, I will hire you."

"Okay, I'm free, I'm free." Zhou Yian nodded repeatedly, fearing that his aunt would change her mind at the last minute.

"Hey, you have a pretty good attitude, little girl."

After the two agreed on a time, Zhou Yian went back. She told her mother about her temporary job, but in order not to make her worry, she did not tell her that she was working part-time in the market.

In order to prevent Mother Zhou from contacting her unexpectedly, she put her cell phone and water cup where she could easily reach them. Mother Zhou usually slept until after seven o'clock, so she could come back around 8:30 to give her breakfast.

She got up at 4:30 the next day, before it was fully light.
