Chapter 673: A Matter of Honor

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mother Lin spoke, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, as if she had been transported back to the time when she had just married Lin Lao’er.

Lin Lao’er watched his wife, his own eyes welling up with tears. “Yes, Yun,” he said, his voice choked with emotion. “In the blink of an eye, I’ve been washing your feet for decades. But I feel like I haven’t done it enough.”

As he spoke, Lin Lao’er felt a pang of nostalgia mixed with unease. Ever since he had been injured, he hadn’t been able to wash his wife’s feet for several months. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but Mother Lin had insisted that he rest and recover, forbidding him from doing so.

To him, this was not a cause for celebration. Having done this for decades, the sudden cessation left him feeling anxious and restless. He longed for a swift recovery so he could resume washing his wife’s feet.

Mother Lin rolled her eyes at him, her tone seemingly reproachful but laced with profound happiness. “You’re a grown man, and you think washing my feet is something to be proud of?”

Without hesitation, Lin Lao’er nodded. “Yes, it is an honor. Being able to take care of my wife is something I find deeply honorable.”

He never considered washing his wife’s feet as something shameful. The reason he used to close the door when washing Mother Lin’s feet was to protect her from the gossip and criticism of the villagers.

They would say she was spoiled, that she was a bad influence. If it weren’t for their narrow-mindedness, he wouldn’t hesitate to proudly declare his love for washing his wife’s feet.

A man is born of a woman, and a man washing a woman’s feet is not a disgrace.

This was a belief that set Lin Lao’er apart from the other boys in the village since he was young. He knew his views differed from theirs, so he never voiced his true thoughts. But actions, he believed, were more important than words.

Mother Lin, unable to argue with him, massaged his leg before pulling the blanket over him and climbing into bed, taking her usual spot on the outer side.
