The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 374 Happiness or Pity

At night, Xiao Ayu was already asleep, but the others tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Liu was worried that Xiao Ayu's true identity would be exposed, since Qin Huai was not an ordinary person like them, and when his mother came to visit, she said she wanted to give a dowry.

I've heard that wealthy families value status. Will they investigate Ayu?

Although the mother-in-law asked Lord Zhang to help cover it up, the husband said that Lord Zhang was exceptionally polite to that lady, which showed that the lady's status was even higher than that of the county magistrate.

Knowing this, she was restless and, despite her back pain, insisted on going to pick up Ayu.

Old Wang couldn't understand why that lady would come to his door.

Is this a marriage proposal?

Although their family has improved now, it's only the improvement of an ordinary family. In the eyes of wealthy and powerful families, they are nothing.

"Old woman, do you think it might be Ayu's identity..." Old Wang said in a low voice, his tone full of worry.

His response was to Old Mrs. Wang deliberately raising her snoring volume.

Old Wang: "..."

After trying to hold back, Old Wang couldn't resist.

"Old woman, you look so bad that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you standing right in front of you—ouch!!"

Feeling his waist being twisted hard, Old Wang's face contorted in the darkness, baring his teeth.

"A good man doesn't argue with a woman, hmph." Old Wang rubbed his back and decided to ignore his wife for the entire next day.

A gust of wind blew in at night, and the window was opened a crack, letting in a cool breeze.

Grandma Wang got up, thinking of closing the window, when a hand reached out from the side and pressed down on her arm.

"Lie down."

After Old Wang closed the window, Old Mrs. Wang's voice rang out leisurely: "Weren't you going to ignore me?"

How did you know?
Old Wang, with his eyes closed, groped his way onto the bed: "I'm taking a night stroll—a night stroll—"

Grandma Wang: "..."

Having finally won back a point, Old Wang could finally sleep peacefully.

The couple had been married for decades and had developed a tacit understanding.

As long as Grandma Wang doesn't make any other moves, it means that what's happening right now isn't a big deal.

At least they are all under Old Mrs. Wang's control.

If that's the case, then why is he still worried?
He'll eat when he's supposed to eat, sleep when he's supposed to sleep; if the sky falls, he'll be the one to hold it up.

Xiao Ayu didn't sleep because Zhang Zhan had given her a new letter during the day.

This time, Qin Huai was reluctant to send the letter.

He felt guilty because he had used up all the things Xiao Ayu had given him.

That's why it's been delayed until now.

He apologized to Xiao Ayu in a very sincere tone, saying that he shouldn't have used so much at once.

But he offered no explanation for his actions.

Firstly, she thought that Xiao Ayu might not understand, and secondly, she didn't want anyone along the way to discover anything amiss.

But Xiao Ayu's lack of understanding does not mean that the whole family doesn't understand.

Late at night, Tuanzi broke the story down into smaller pieces and told Xiao Ayu about it.

[When I went back to upgrade the shop, I forgot to tell you that you shouldn't tell any more people that you have these items.]

Tuanzi was also somewhat helpless. It had no idea that its little one had suddenly revealed all of its belongings to Qin Huai.

If it weren't for Qin Huai's belated letter, Tuanzi probably wouldn't have known for a long time.

Little Ayu squatted by the soil, poking her little finger in the dirt: "But Brother Ayou is leaving, and I don't have anything else to give him."

"You're still young, it's okay if you don't give me anything." "But we'll be husband and wife someday!" Little Ayu said, "Every time Dad goes out, Mom prepares things for him. Shouldn't I prepare things for Brother Ayou too?"

"...That's different. You're too young now. Even if you were to get married in the future, that would be a very, very long time from now."

Little Ayu wanted to ask more questions, but Tuanzi quickly interrupted her.

If we let the kid keep talking, who knows what kind of twisted logic he'll come up with.

Anyway, just be more careful in the future. At worst, we can exchange for some amnesia spray, spray it on, and everything will be fine.

However, amnesia spray also has drawbacks.

If you spray too little, it might not have any effect; if you spray too much, people might become stupid or forget everything about themselves.

Most importantly, that thing costs 100 points.

Fortunately, there's enough for 1000 people.

Tuanzi would never let Zaizi exchange items unless absolutely necessary.

For the mall, the kids nowadays are practically penniless.

Tuanzi quite likes those tutorial-type items in the mall, mainly because they are cheap and very practical.

The "Planting Handbook" I gave to Grandma Wang last time has played a huge role in the past few months.

Grandma Wang was also very good at using public opinion to make the people of Hujia Village truly feel the benefits brought about by those planting methods.

For example, the sugarcane they grow is now big, sweet, and juicy.

Once the Flower Festival is over, Old Mrs. Wang will return to Hu Family Village to begin work on sugarcane production.

As long as things go smoothly with the sugarcane business, Hujia Village is poised for a remarkable turnaround.

Grandma Wang was there to oversee things, mainly to make Zhang Zhan their backer, so that they wouldn't have to worry about others causing trouble out of envy.

After all, Zhang Zhan was not an ordinary county magistrate; he had connections in Wanning City.

When Hujia Village comes together, the Wang family will naturally be at the forefront, and Xiao Ayu will gradually become known to more people.

Tuanzi didn't want others to know about Zaizi before, mainly for her safety.

But if the child wants the mall in the space to work, she has to step into the public eye and get more people to like and accept her. Influencing people one by one is too inefficient. Only by doing something earth-shattering can she achieve twice the result with half the effort.

From the very beginning, the game's mission system included tasks related to national prosperity and strength.

[Baby, what if your mother wasn't your mother, but someone else? How would you feel?]

Tuanzi didn't know who Xiao Ayu's real mother was, even in the system world, some information was blurred.

It can only infer from the given information that he must be a person of high status, and not necessarily from Dachang, but most likely from Xifeng Kingdom.

But the child's childhood was not good. Her nominal mother seemed to do everything for the child's good, and even lost her own life because of the child.

But in Tuanzi's eyes, that "mother" did not use all her strength to protect her child.

Otherwise, the child wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.

Little Ayu said, "I know, I have two mothers!"

【You remembered all of that?!】

Tuanzi was a little nervous. Now that Zaizi's intelligence had returned to normal, she wondered if thinking about those past events would affect her current personality.

“I remember now.” Little Ayu’s eyes sparkled. “Everyone else only has one mother, but I have two. I’m a lucky baby.”

Meanwhile, Ouyang Pei and his group at Puji Temple had obtained the latest intelligence, learning that the little girl who looked very much like Ruan Ruan was the third young lady of the Xie family in the neighboring county, and was the child of her aunt.

Moreover, there were midwives who testified to it.

Holding the thin piece of paper in front of him, Ouyang Changjing almost lost his balance: "Does that mean Ruan Ruan has already—"

"Poor child!" Ouyang Pei thought of the little girl with a smile in her eyes, never imagining that she had grown up in such an environment.

Yet she still possesses a pair of eyes as clear as lake water.
