Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qu Meng’er did not sleep well this time. She dreamed of the moment when she had an accident in her previous life. Apart from this, Qu Meng’er actually saw a beautiful place. It was a small bridge with flowing water. Qu Meng’er was very fond of it.
However, before Qu Meng’er could see that place clearly, she was woken up by the sound of voices.
“Father, mother, come out quickly. Look what I brought back with me.” Little Xuan and the others had not even reached the door when they shouted loudly at the people in the house.
“You little brat, what are you shouting for? It’s already so late and you two are still wandering around outside. Be careful and let your father clean up.” A woman’s bright and clear voice came from the house. Following that, the middle-aged woman walked out from the courtyard. As she walked, she said, “What did you two bring back?”
!!
The middle-aged woman had just finished speaking when she raised her head to take a look. She was instantly shocked, and her voice went up a few notches. “Ah, you two little brats, where did you carry the child from? Hurry up and send it back to someone else.”
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman took Qu Meng’er, who was wrapped in a small red blanket, from Little Xuan’s hands.
And just as the middle-aged woman was carrying Qu Meng’er in her arms, Qu Meng’er was also woken up by the commotion they made. She opened her small eyes that were hazy from sleep and even stretched out her small hand to rub her small eyes. Then, she yawned again.
Qu Meng’er’s little actions were noticed by the middle-aged woman and the brothers, and they were instantly mesmerized. “What a cute little baby. It’s so pretty.”
“Mommy, she is pretty, right? We picked her up,” Little Xuan said proudly.
“Picked her up? You said you picked up this little baby?” The middle-aged woman didn’t really believe her little son’s words, she could see that the clothes and quilt the baby was wearing were of good quality. It was not something an ordinary family could afford. Moreover, this child was so beautiful. It was obvious that she was not a child from the countryside. “Haoguo, is what your brother said true?”
“Yes. What Little Xuan said is true. We found her in the wasteland on the east side of the village.” The boy called Haoguo told his mother everything from the moment they found the baby crying.
While they were talking, Qu Meng’er was completely awake. After sleeping for a while, Qu Meng’er felt much better, but her stomach was still in protest.
Qu Meng’er sized up the middle-aged woman who was hugging her. She was dressed like a rural woman, and the clothes she was wearing made Qu Meng’er frown. This was really too old-fashioned. However, Qu Meng’er felt that this middle-aged woman’s looks were not bad. At least when she was young, she should have been quite pretty. Otherwise, she would not have given birth to the two brothers.
“Oh, the little baby is awake.” Little Xuan’s mother had just lowered her head when she saw Qu Meng’er staring at her with her watery eyes without blinking. This one glance made Little Xuan’s mother’s heart soften. “How cute.” Little Xuan’s mother had always wanted a daughter, but she had given birth to two sons. And now, she did not dare to give birth to a third child. She was afraid that the third child would still be a son.
“Mother, isn’t she cute? I found her.” Little Xuan came forward with a proud face to ask for a reward.
“I say, what’s wrong with the three of you? It’s almost time to eat, why aren’t you coming in?” Just as Little Xuan’s mother wanted to say a few words to Little Xuan, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard.. However, Qu Meng’er was now in someone’s arms, so the face of that person could not be seen.
