A Woman's Worth: I Am Not Worthless

It was supposed to be a beautiful day, but there are things that are meant to happen. Wuyuan scrubbed the toilet hard till it was sparkling. It has been her cycle of work to clean every corner of their house, for she believed that a clean house is a good environment for a family.

She leaned at the side and watched her surroundings, if it was her from her previous self, she probably got scolded for moving a finger. Her life as an heiress has been majestic, she was not allowed to do things that could harm or dirty her. She was treated like a princess but, life didn't warned her that she will be a servant when she marries.

Wiping her sweats while picking up the basin on her side, she smiled to herself for once again she made a good job on cleaning. She won't deny that she missed her life before. Slacking off, and just train and study everyday. Not minding the bills nor groceries and withering plants on the backyard.

She walked out of the bathroom and put the basin away. Careful not to slip off and get bruises again. While concentrating on her tracks, she was startled by a loud giggle from the other side and accidentally slipped her foot. She felt the pain on her bottoms and a stinging pain from her left leg.

She got scratched again. She wasn't worried about the pain she felt. She was worried about the bruises, she was so sure that it will be bigger this time. She gathered herself and slowly walked out of there and walked to the nearest stool.

She sat on the chair sighing, quite disappointed that it will make her look less attractive. What will her husband think?

Brushing off that thought, she walked inside the infants room and watched her child sleeping peacefully. She can't never deny that her baby doesn't even look like her. She felt sad by those thoughts. Maybe it was her husband's strong genes? She nodded and sat on the side and fed herself with satisfaction of her precious little potatoes sight.

She call kids potatoes because she love potatoes and their heads look like one. She giggled as Jiuhan batted his eyes and looked at her with his sparkling eyes. She smiled at him showing her deep dimples, Jiuhan raised his hand and reached for her cheek. He always adored her cute dimples.

"My little potato, are you hungry my baby?" she asked with her gentle voice. The things she loved about herself is her dimples, eyes and voice. Her soft gentle voice is just attractive.

"Not" Jiuhan mumbled. Even with his young age, he managed to mumble things just like no, not, yes, eat, sip (sleep), ash (wash) and uddie (cuddle). And of course he can say mommy and quite bad saying daddy. No matter how they teach him, he just can't get it.

Wuyuan nodded her head and lifted him up. She carried him in her arms and smiled as he started to play with her hair again.

"Does little Jiu-Jiu want mommy to sing him a song?" she asked wiggling her brows. He giggled and nodded softly.

"树叶挂窗棂.

小宝宝,快睡觉.

睡在那个梦中.

摇篮轻拍动,

娘的宝宝闭上眼睛,

睡呀睡在那个梦中"

"The moon is bright, the wind is quiet.

The leaves hang over the window.

My baby, fall asleep quickly.

Sleep, dreaming sweet dreams.

The moon is bright, the wind is calm,

Gently moving cradle,

Yeah sleep, sleep, dreaming sweet dreams"

(This is a Chinese lullaby that I have listened and searched for on Google I believed it was called "Northeastern lullaby")

She sang the song two times with her soft voice lingered around the house. She was swaying her body slowly while humming as she finished her song. She was oblivious that she had reached the backyard while dancing softly turning and swaying.

The servants was once again happy to see and hear her soft voice, they had been down this days. A couple of passerby even peeked through their gates. They always look up for her small performance every single time. Even though she doesn't look that good this days, she was still beautiful. She just don't take care of her beauty.

Ever since she got married, she looked older and passed her beauty. It's just sad that a precious diamond was covered by rust.
