Cheng Su lay on the bed and let out a long sigh. Organizing the funeral was truly exhausting. Although there was help, some things could only be done by her as the eldest daughter-in-law, including keeping vigil.
After all, she was already past fifty, her energy not what it used to be.
"Have some water," Qi Taiguo handed her a glass of water.
Cheng Su got up to drink, and sighed, "Age has really caught up, truly exhausting."
"You've worked hard!" Qi Taiguo placed his hands on her shoulders, massaging either lightly or heavily.
Over the years, the parents grew older and later fell ill, the mother even developed dementia, failing to recognize anyone. A caretaker was hired, but they still required frequent visits.
As for Cheng Su, ever since the kidnapping incident, although she rarely spoke with her mother, not a single responsibility slipped away from her, and she was very attentive in her care.
