Yang Ying's life began to decline from the day her husband died in a car accident.
Her parents-in-law took away most of the pension on the pretext of old-age care. She held on to the remaining money and struggled in the city with her two children who were waiting to be fed. She was chased while setting up stalls, washed her hands in restaurants until her hands were wrinkled, and stood in the supermarket until her legs trembled.
During the most difficult time, I was chewing dry steamed buns to coax my children. I finally made it to a small restaurant, and the days finally felt a little warmer.
After her eldest daughter was admitted to college and her younger daughter entered high school, and both children lived on campus, Yang Ying looked at the little savings she had saved and booked a plane ticket for herself for the first time.
After more than ten years of hard work, she could finally take a breath. She just wanted to rest for a few days, but unexpectedly, an accident caused her to open her eyes and fall into a different world.
This time, with no worries behind her, she could finally live for herself, and with her hands, she could carve out a beautiful path in the new world.
