Chapter 2: Adoption

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Wang family’s house was a little further in Hu Family Village. It was a courtyard with the back against a cliff. At this moment, Old man Wang was leading his family to shovel snow.

“Third Daughter-in-law, come to my room!” Old Madam Wang shouted as soon as she walked into the courtyard.

Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman were also worried about that child. Just as they were about to follow, they were frightened away by their mother’s gaze.

“Why, could it be that you’re still looking for milk from me?!” Old Madam Wang glared at them. “Go to work! The lot of you are like a group of hungry ghosts when eating, but I don’t see you moving that fast when you work!”

The brothers rubbed their noses and turned their heads.

Old man Wang looked at his eldest son, who had come to take over shoveling the snow. “Did your mother eat firecrackers again today?”

She was still worried about her two sons just now and even went out to take a look three times today. But why did she return angry now?

Wang Chuanman said casually, “No, Mother is worried about that little child. It’s too cold today, we have to be more meticulous—”

Before he could finish speaking, Old man Wang shouted, “What? What child?!”

At this moment, the entire family found out that the brothers did not capture any prey when they went out, but picked up a child instead.

The family stopped shoveling snow and went to the living hall.

Soon, the small room was filled with people.

“How can one basket do? Bring two more!”

“Why are you still cooking? Will you starve to death if you eat later? Whoever dilly-dallies for me again, don’t even think about eating dinner tonight!”

“Why is this child burning up so fiercely in winter? Should I open the window?”

“Why don’t you open a window on your head? Stop troubling me and get lost! Second son, go and see if your father has brought Doctor Hu over. This fellow looks so strong, but he does things so slowly like a woman…”

The waves of noise made Ah Yu’s dizzy head clear up for a moment.

Ever since she could remember, it had never been so lively. Did Elder Sister and the others find a new playmate?

It was snowing and she was sick again. She’s always falling sick.

She remembered that before she went to bed, her sister brought her a glass of water. Not long after she finished drinking it, she fell asleep.

Ah Yu felt very hot. She raised her hand and subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

Her eyes itch and hurt.

Had she slept too long again? If she slept for too long, there would be no food.

It was so uncomfortable to be hungry.

“Mother…”

Ah Yu’s hoarse voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Wang Silang, who was almost leaning his head on her face, was the first to hear it. He immediately turned around and shouted, “Grandma, the child seems to have woken up!”

In the next moment, a bunch of heads crowded over and looked at the child embedded in the patched blanket.

The little girl had a red face. Her face was pitifully thin and small, not even the size of an adult’s palm.

She looked to be two years old at most.

When she closed her eyes, the most attractive thing was her small but upright nose.

Then, there were the eyelashes that were as dense as a feathered fan. Her forehead was plump, and her youthful skin was naturally smooth and tender.

Her mouth was dry and peeling. The second son’s wife, Madam Ma, was a meticulous person. She dipped a handkerchief into the water and gently moistened the girl’s lips.

Her chapped skin was temporarily smoothened, revealing a cherry-like mouth.

It was the size of a cherry and was as pink and cute as a ripe cherry.

At this point, she opened her eyes.

Everyone from the Wang family gasped.

How could this be the eyes of a human!

There was a very faint golden color in her dark pupils. Because she was sick, the golden color seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

That was not the color of the eyes of a Great Chang native.

It was indescribably beautiful, but also a little strange.

Before the Wang Family’s adults could speak, the seven boys started shouting.

“Wow, these are the eyes of an Immortal child!”

“She’s so beautiful. Grandma, let’s raise her. In the future, I’ll eat less. No, I’ll eat half a bowl of rice less. Let’s raise her!”

“I’ll eat half a bowl less too. Save it for my sister.”

“How do you know it’s a sister?”

“She’s so beautiful. She must be the younger sister. Even the village chief Hu Sanbao’s younger sister isn’t so beautiful!”

“We also have a good-looking sister now!”

Old Madam Wang did not say anything. Her face was dark, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Their family was too poor. This was not just a matter of picking up a child to save a life.

Ah Yu had called out for her mother twice but did not receive a response. As usual, she carefully hid her disappointment and looked around timidly.

“Cough, cough, cough…” A cough attracted everyone’s attention.

It was the Fourth Sister-in-law, Liu Shi, who looked sickly. She leaned against the door with difficulty and spoke while panting.

“Mother, let me raise her.” Seeing Old Madam Wang look at her, Liu Shi mustered her courage and said, “I had a dream yesterday. In my dream… there was this child. The dream said that the heavens pitied me and gave her to me…”

Ah Yu’s eyes landed on Liu Shi at the door. She couldn’t see what that person looked like, but the movements were very similar. “…Mother.”

“Ah!” Liu Shi heard it and for some reason, she subconsciously responded. As soon as she finished speaking, tears rolled down her face.

It was as if the huge icy hole in her heart had suddenly been filled with fire.

The fourth son quickly ran over and supported her arm. His heart ached. “Why did you come out? The doctor said that you have to lie down more.”

Liu Shi squeezed out a weak smile and followed him into the house. Her gaze was fixed on the little child lying on the mattress.

Too similar. She looked exactly like the child from her dream.

She looked small and also called her Mother the same way.

“Mother, let me raise her…” Madam Liu did not dare to touch the child, afraid that she would send her sickly aura over. She only begged sadly,” Let me try… ”

Old Madam Wang pursed her lips as the entire family looked at her.

His grandsons pressed their palms together pleadingly.

They were like little yellow dogs begging at the village entrance.

“Fine.” Old Madam Wang gritted her teeth.

Wasn’t it just a child? There was no child in their Wang family that could not be raised!

Ah Yu felt a pair of warm hands on her forehead. She rubbed against it longingly and quickly fell asleep again.

After midnight, Old Wang’s house was still brightly lit. The few women took turns guarding the bed and touching the child’s forehead from time to time.

No one noticed that her little finger moved and emitted a faint light that’s invisible to the naked eye.

[Child, wake up.]

Ah Yu opened her eyes and realized that she was in an extremely bright place. There was a lot of food and thick clothes here. There was also a very fluffy bed beside her.

She rubbed her eyes, then rubbed them again.

Then she opened her small mouth and mouthed, “Wow.”

Her confused eyes looked around, not knowing why she was here.

[Child, this is your space, your world of consciousness. Whatever you desire in your heart will appear here…]

Ah Yu’s eyes were filled with confusion.

She really did not understand.
