The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 249 Old Mrs. Wang Instructs Liu

When the other neighbors saw the commotion at Old Wang's house, they all came to ask what was going on.

Upon learning that Xiao Ayu had fallen into a coma and had been revived by the sorceress, they repeatedly thanked her.

Even Grandma Wen next door said, "The child must have been frightened outside. Let's get her a good luck charm to calm her down."

Otherwise, you might have nightmares at night.

The fortune teller's face was all wrinkled from smiling: "I have some peace and safety charms here, thirty coins each."

This isn't too expensive; compared to the incense money at temples, it's negligible.

When Liu went to donate money for sesame oil, she donated five coins.

Everyone believed that this fortune teller was truly skilled and that the amulets she sold must be effective, so they all bought several from her.

The fortune teller was in a better mood after suddenly receiving a sum of money.

Old Wang's family wanted her to stay for a meal, but the fortune teller waved her hand and said, "No thanks, I still have two more places to visit, so I won't bother you any longer."

Considering she had made some money, the fortune teller added, "Your child's fainting spell could be due to being frightened and losing his soul, or it could be that someone used his birth date and time to do something. Think about whether you have offended anyone or revealed your birth date and time to outsiders."

Normally, a shaman needs the birth date and time to perform rituals, but since it's just calling back the soul, it doesn't need to be so complicated, so she didn't ask.

If you ask, you'll find out that even the Wang family doesn't know Xiao Ayu's birth date and time.

After the sorceress left, the adults in the Wang family fell into silence.

"They used her birth date and time to their advantage." Wang Chuangui frowned. "So, it was her original..."

He was stopped halfway through his sentence by Wang Chuanyuan shaking his head.

Although they were talking outside the yard and the children had been chased away, it was inevitable that someone would overhear them.

It's best to be cautious.

The group stopped talking about it, wanting to wait until Old Wang and Old Mrs. Wang got home before continuing the conversation.

What they can't understand, they might find the answers from their parents.

At this time, Xiao Ayu was still a little weak, mainly because her complexion didn't look good.

Liu wouldn't let her get out of bed, making her stay in bed, and then cooked her some white fungus porridge, bringing it to her bedside to feed her.

Little Ayu took a bite, but couldn't resist and whispered, "Mother, I saw Mother."

Liu's hand holding the spoon trembled, and she almost spilled the white fungus on the quilt.

She forced a smile: "Ayu, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Mother right here?"

"It's Mother, there's another Mother." Little Ayu didn't quite understand why Liu was a little unhappy, so she hesitated to say the rest.

Seeing her child like this, Liu felt heartbroken.

The child remembered his original mother, which is not a mistake.

Moreover, regardless of what happened before, she shouldn't be selfish and let her child forget his own mother.

"Go ahead and tell me, your mother is listening." Madam Liu scooped up another spoonful of white fungus porridge and fed it to little Ayu while listening to her slowly recount her dream.

Little Ayu said she met her former mother, but that mother was strange.

"That mother wasn't well, she was always coughing, but in my dream, she was perfectly fine." This was what puzzled little Ayu the most. Then, Ayu asked, "Mother, do people go into dreams after they die? Do they change in dreams?"

Liu's eyes widened slightly.

What does it mean?
Is Ayu's former mother gone?
“I know, my former mother is dead.”

Little Ayu drinks the Elixir of Immortality every day, and her mind becomes clearer and clearer, especially regarding her past memories. Once she awakens, she can search for those details.

Little Ayu said, word by word, "My former mother left. She told me not to be afraid, not to seek revenge. Mother, what is revenge?"

Liu could not answer.

Yes, what kind of thing could be considered revenge?
She wanted to ask Ayu how much she remembered, since she could recall that when the child first arrived at their home, things were certainly not going well.

He was skin and bones, as if he might collapse at any moment.

Perhaps, without Ayu, their guardian spirit who had already left, they might not have been able to bring the person back.

If that's the case, it means the past memories weren't good. If you keep asking the child, you'll only let them dwell on the painful memories of the past.

That's not what Liu wanted to see.

"I also have an older sister and an older brother, but they don't like me very much." Little Ayu shrank her neck, as if it were stuffed with snow, and shivered from the cold.

None of her seven older brothers, or her siblings outside the family, would stuff snow down her neck.

So Xiao Ayu also learned that if someone makes another person feel uncomfortable, it means that person doesn't like them.

"Don't think about it anymore, Ayu. From now on, your mother will be with you. Your mother will always be with you." Liu put the bowl aside and hugged little Ayu into her arms.

Little Ayu thought for a while, wanting to ask where her older sister and brother had gone, but also not really wanting to know.

She knew her mother was dead.

Now it's the new mother.

What Xiao Ayu really wanted to ask was, once her mother was gone, would she have a new mother?

My father is different now too.

is this normal?

Lost in thought, little Ayu fell asleep again.

In the afternoon, Old Mrs. Wang returned first, and the news she brought made Liu feel nervous.

"The former abbot of Puji Temple has passed away??" Liu looked incredulous. "But when I saw him, he was in good spirits."

How could such a young abbot just disappear like that?
Grandma Wang didn't want to talk much: "In short, it's impossible to verify whether it's true or not, so there's no need to worry about it. Things will work themselves out. Tell me, why did Ayu suddenly faint?"

After Liu finished telling her about Xiao Ayu, Old Madam Wang's eyes flashed coldly: "It seems something has happened to the Xie family."

Using birth dates and times to harm people is a forbidden art, and probably very few people in the Great Chang Kingdom can do it.

So what exactly is the background of the Xie family?
Grandma Wang frowned.

"Mother, could something have happened? Are they targeting Ayu?"

Grandma Wang comforted Liu: "Don't worry, if this forbidden technique fails once, it probably won't cause any trouble for several years. Ayu is lucky and has survived; things will only get better for her."

"Mother, the guardian spirit within Ayu..."

"I know, go ahead and do your work." Old Mrs. Wang stopped Liu from continuing and then instructed her, "You just need to remember that Ayu is your child. No matter what she has or what she encounters, you just need to do what a mother should do."

We shouldn't treat Ayu well just because of her special circumstances, but rather genuinely treat her like a child in the family; otherwise, we'll lose sight of our original intentions sooner or later.

At that time, who knows what terrifying things it will become.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Daughter-in-law understands."

Ayu thought of her deceased mother, and her heart must be filled with unimaginable pain. How could she bear to hurt her child again?

As night fell, Old Wang, pulling a cart full of goods, hurried back to town.
