I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

That's where dirt and grime easily accumulate, she muttered to herself as she wiped him clean.

"It's not that I want to take advantage of you, it's just that you're a bit dirty here. Tell me, when you need to poop or pee, just say so, so I don't have to go through all this trouble. I'm telling you now, if you pee anywhere again, I won't take care of you anymore."

The man's lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyelids twitched slightly again, but he did not open his eyes.

She wiped his front and back, removed the diaper pad she had just changed and put on a new one, then helped him put on an adult diaper before covering him with the blanket again.

She crumpled up the diapers and other dirty things she had just changed and threw them outside the door, along with the mask on her mouth and the gloves on her hands.

After doing all this, she returned to the bedside, sat down, took his hand, and took his pulse.

She wanted to see just how serious this man's illness was; as a medical doctor, she loved tackling medical challenges.

But Mo Ning's pulse startled him once again.

His pulse was very weak, and judging from his pulse, he had lost the most basic physiological functions.

In other words, his three years of silence had rendered him unable to speak.

His hands and feet had been immobilized for a long time and had lost sensation.

Judging from the current situation, his brain is functioning normally; he has simply shut it off.

More accurately, because he had lost the courage to live, he subconsciously considered himself a dead person.

Having received this information, she breathed a sigh of relief, gently placed his hand back under the covers, and whispered:

“I know you can open your eyes and speak, you just don’t want to face yourself as you are now, and you feel ashamed to face people.”

After saying this, Lan Zhi looked closely and saw the man lying on the bed twitch his lips. Seizing the opportunity, she continued:

"No matter what you've been through, it shouldn't be a reason for you to give up on yourself. I heard from Aunt Mo that you were slashed, and now you're lying in bed like a living dead person, while the person who slashed you is still at large. Are you content with that?"

Hearing her words, two lines of clear tears suddenly streamed down Mo Ning's face.

Lan Zhi quickly picked up a tissue to wipe him, and the gentle feeling made Mo Ning feel dazed for a moment.

He knew this woman was the new wife his mother had arranged for him, and he also knew that she had just wiped his most private parts; her movements were very light and gentle, even gentler than his mother's.

He tried several times to open his eyes to see the woman, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to look. He was afraid that it was just a dream, and that once he opened his eyes, everything would vanish like a bubble.

Just now, the words this woman whispered in his ear made his heart clench painfully.

How could he not hate? He hated the person who wounded him, he hated those who wanted him dead, but what could he do? What could he change now?

"Mo Ning, you know, your mother went to see your uncle. I'll be taking care of you for the next two months. So, I hope you open your eyes and look at me, at least to know what the person who's going to take care of you looks like!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ning suddenly opened his eyes. He wasn't curious about what Lan Zhi looked like; he was surprised by the reason his mother had left.

She said her mother went to see her uncle?

Where is his uncle now?

Five years ago, all of my mother's family members were wiped out. My mother spent a lot of money to bribe people in the palace, disguised herself as a nanny, and escaped from the palace. She went to great lengths to find him when he was on the verge of death and brought him to Kangzhuang Village to settle down. Only then did she and her son escape this calamity.

Now Mother is telling her to go see her uncle? There must be something fishy going on. What is Mother really going to do?

His lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he used tears to express his feelings.

Seeing that he had finally opened his eyes, Lan Zhi happily got up and looked at him.

"Hello Mo Ning, my name is Lan Zhi. I will take care of you for the next two months."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, Mo Ning's lips drooped slightly, and he closed his eyes again.

His biggest worry right now is his mother. Where did she go? What is she doing?

Did she go to seek revenge on those people?

What if she encounters danger? Who will protect her?

Thinking of this, he took a few heavy breaths, while Lan Zhi frowned rather displeased.

She was a little angry when she saw that he didn't want to look at her or even pay attention to her.

In her past life, she was the object of pursuit by many eligible bachelors, but this good-for-nothing man in front of her wouldn't even give her a second glance.

"Mo Ning, can you stop pretending to be dead? A man like you deserves to lie in bed for the rest of his life and starve to death."

After saying that, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Mo Ning opened her eyes again, turned her head slightly, looked at the empty room, and shed tears again.

He was worried about his mother, afraid that she might be in danger, but there was nothing he could do.

He hated himself and wished he could end it all right now, but he couldn't.

Thinking that his mother's return was unlikely, he decided once again to end his life by starving himself!

Anyway, his mother is gone, so no one will beg him to live anymore.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

Lan Zhi stood in the courtyard, looking at the dilapidated place, and shook her head helplessly.

In her past life, she was the little princess of her family, pampered and loved by her parents, maternal grandparents, and paternal grandparents since childhood. Unexpectedly, in this life, she became an adopted daughter who was not well received, and not only that, she was also married to a person in a vegetative state.

She admitted to herself that describing Mo Ning as a vegetable was a bit of an exaggeration, but what difference was there between his appearance and that of a vegetable?

Just then, she saw several heads sticking out from the top of the wall. She pretended to bend down to adjust her skirt, picked up a stone, and threw it in the direction of the heads.

"Ouch!"

One of the people climbing on the wall fell to the ground with a thud, and the others rushed forward to inquire what had happened.

"Erlv, what's wrong with you?"

Erlv rubbed the large bump on his head, grinned, and cursed.

"I don't know which good-for-nothing kid threw stones at me, and told me to grab him and not scratch his skin."

San Shunzi quickly patted his shoulder.

"Seeing such a beautiful bride, what's a little injury? Erluzi, any ideas?"

Erluzi smacked his lips a few times, nodding as if drooling.

"How could we not have one? A beautiful young woman like her is a rare sight in our village! But I heard that she even chased Nie Yuan away. Can we really go?"

Sha Dazhu raised his hand and tapped him on the head.

"Anyway, that old woman Mo is gone, and all that's left in this courtyard is a cripple and this beauty. A few of us grown men can easily handle a woman like her. But we need to agree on who goes first beforehand."

San Shunzi let out a lewd laugh with ill intent.

"This young lady might still be a virgin. Whoever wants to get her first will have to treat everyone to a good drink."

The others chimed in, "That's right, whoever wants to go first has to treat everyone to drinks."
