บท 19: Chapter 19: A Good Child
Has there been an accident?
From the eldest Zhan's voice alone, it was clear that the incident was no minor matter.
Otherwise, why would he go from house to house asking questions? It must have affected more than just one or two people.
Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni exchanged a look, their faces filled with dread.
Er Gou's wife cried out loudly and rushed forward, gripping the eldest Zhan's arm tightly.
"What happened? Tell me clearly, what happened to my man?"
The eldest Zhan was tripped up and nearly fell.
"When they were digging the ditch, the ground collapsed, and many people fell in. The hole was so deep, I heard some couldn't get up at all."
Everyone who heard it found it terrifying, and Er Gou's wife's eyes rolled back, nearly fainting.
"Don't faint just yet; go and see your man; he might not have fallen in."
Upon hearing the reassurance from the eldest Zhan, Er Gou's wife took a deep breath.
"Exactly, my man has great luck, unlike some short-lived ghosts. I... I'm going now."
She staggered away quickly.
The Yue Family, being indirectly insulted, chose not to argue, her heart filled with shock.
Lin Chunju gasped in shock upon receiving the news.
"Has something really happened?"
Zhang Ying confirmed, "The eldest Zhan wouldn't joke about something like this."
Lin Chunju seemed frantic and paced in circles around the room.
Yue Jiannan quickly handed her a cup of water, "Mother, don't be scared; both eldest brother and second brother didn't go."
Lin Chunju gulped it down in one go but couldn't swallow it.
It wasn't just fear she felt; she was...
Yue Jiandong had just finished pouring out the dirty water from the tank when he heard the news upon returning home.
Zhang Ying held Yue Qingqing tightly in her arms, her voice trembling, "Today, it was so lucky Qingqing was here. If you had gone..."
The news brought by the eldest Zhan was only a rough description; if Yue Jiandong had gone, the whole family would have been terrified for him, and Zhang Ying couldn't even imagine how she would feel.
Luckily, luckily he didn't go.
Luckily, Qingqing had been capricious that morning.
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Chunju suddenly extended her hand toward Zhang Ying.
"Let me hold her."
Zhang Ying, startled, instinctively handed the child to her mother-in-law.
Yue Qingqing's heart was in her throat, her lips pressed tightly together.
She had overheard Yue Jiandong and Zhang Ying privately say that his mother was a genuine daughter from a wealthy family.
She had studied for many years with her family.
Later, due to some reason, she faced a great disaster and had to hastily marry into the village to Yue Dashan, who was an orphan and extremely poor.
While life had roughened Lin Chunju's exterior to resemble the other villagers, her courage and insight were incomparable.
Yue Qingqing was certain that Lin Chunju had noticed her difference.
What would she face next? Being abandoned was the best outcome, being burnt as a demon would be truly unlucky.
Her eyes whirled before she managed a pitiful expression.
She looked both well-behaved and heartbreakingly adorable, trying not to cry.
Lin Chunju observed without losing focus, taking in everything.
The Yue Family held their breath, feeling that something big was about to happen.
After a long moment, Lin Chunju suddenly broke into a smile.
"Good child, Qingqing is a good child."
Zhang Ying's tightly held heart finally settled, and Yue Jiandong also sighed in relief.
Lin Chunju gently caressed Yue Qingqing's cheek with her palm, carefully avoiding the calluses on her fingers.
The baby's skin was too soft, making one afraid to exert any force.
Lin Chunju smiled again and handed the child back to Zhang Ying.
"Yingzi, take good care of her; this child is blessed."
Zhang Ying nodded firmly and held Yue Qingqing close to her heart.
Lin Chunju also let go in that moment, regardless of the child's oddities, since Qingqing was picked up by Zhang Ying it was destined to be a Yue Family child.
That she could remind the Yue Family to avoid disaster despite the risks showed that the child was inherently kind-hearted.
