A koi spirit transmigrated into a book, becoming the daughter of a condemned official. As soon as she was born, her grandmother wanted to give her to a man-eating hunter. She could only cry and com...
After hearing her granddaughter's heartfelt words, Grandma Zhu resisted the urge to look back; she couldn't let others discover her granddaughter's uniqueness.
Then, continuing in her swaying posture, she hummed a nursery rhyme and carried her granddaughter to the fire.
No one noticed anything unusual about Grandma Zhu. They just saw Zhu Xixi waving her little hands and assumed she was happy to be dressed.
"XiXi looks so happy! She's waving her little hands so energetically."
Sitting next to Old Lady Zhu, Mrs. Sun's heart melted as she looked at her niece's adorable face, and she reached out to hug her.
Just then, Old Mrs. Zhu was about to check the food in the corner of her granddaughter's mouth, so she handed her granddaughter to Mrs. Sun, glanced at the fire, and then stood up.
"We don't have much firewood left, I'll go find some more."
"Mom, let me go." Zhu Haotian saw his mother get up and worried that she might have trouble walking, so he quickly got up to stop her.
After hearing this, Old Lady Zhu clicked her tongue in displeasure, gestured for him to sit down, and then quickened her pace to run away from everyone's sight.
Zhu Chenfeng looked at his mother's strange behavior with suspicion, then looked at his second brother with confusion, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"I don't know." Zhu Haotian was also puzzled by Old Lady Zhu's behavior, shook his head and sat down again.
Having already escaped everyone's sight, Old Mrs. Zhu peeked out from behind the curtain and looked at her son and daughter-in-law.
After confirming that they hadn't followed her, she patted her chest and nervously looked around.
The room was large and cluttered. She couldn't find any food in the west corner, so she had to walk over the clutter to the east corner.
However, just after she climbed over the clutter, she indeed saw the food in a basket in the corner.
She excitedly stepped forward and opened the basket, only to find it filled with all kinds of meat, beef, chicken, and so on.
"This...we really do need food."
Realizing that the food might have been conjured up by her granddaughter, she hurriedly hugged it to her arms and looked around in alarm.
After calming her nerves, she carefully walked around the curtain and appeared before everyone, carrying the basket.
At this moment, Zhu Xixi had already fallen asleep early, thanks to Sun Shi's coaxing, and was sleeping on the straw blanket behind everyone.
As Sun was settling her niece down and getting up, she happened to see the basket in her mother-in-law's hand and cried out in fright.
"Mother, you....."
Old Mrs. Zhu hurriedly gestured to Mrs. Sun to be quiet, and while carrying the basket, she pulled her towards the fire.
Sun's voice also attracted the attention of the others, who stared blankly at the basket in Zhu's hands.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Tao noticed the basket in her mother-in-law's hand at a glance, as it was exactly the same as the basket she had seen before.
She stared at her mother-in-law somewhat nervously and asked in a low voice, "Mother, where did the basket come from?"
After a moment of contemplation, Old Mrs. Zhu waved to her son and daughter-in-law, signaling them to come closer, and then explained in a low voice.
"I found this basket in the corner of the room."
After hearing Grandma Zhu's explanation, everyone looked even more bewildered, but no one dared to ask about its origin.
He could only frown and look at the basket in Old Lady Zhu's hand with unease in his heart.
Grandma Zhu didn't know how to explain why the basket was in the room. She hesitated for a moment, then put the basket on the ground and slowly opened the lid.
The moment the lid was lifted, the food inside made everyone's eyes light up, and they excitedly licked their lips.
With a mixture of surprise and delight, Mrs. Sun pointed to the food in the basket and whispered, "Mother, this is all meat?"
"Yes!" Grandma Zhu didn't show any great joy. After showing it to everyone, she silently closed the lid again.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Haotian became anxious and looked at Old Madam Zhu with some confusion, "Mother, why is it covered again?"
"Mother just can't rest easy. How could such good meat appear out of nowhere in such an abandoned house? I think we should put it back where it was!"
Grandma Zhu sighed helplessly, glanced at her son and daughter-in-law's expressions, and picked up her basket to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chenfeng grabbed Old Lady Zhu's hand first, and with a half-smile, pulled her back to her seat. "Mother, the meat in the basket smells quite fresh. It seems it hasn't been in the house for long."
"Perhaps these are left behind in the room by guests who stayed at the inn before. Since we're destined to have this food, let's keep it!"
After hearing Zhu Chenfeng's words, everyone else nodded nervously, looking expectantly at the basket in Grandma Zhu's hands.
Grandma Zhu was silent for a moment, then sighed, still feigning difficulty, "Don't you find it strange? We often find food, and it's always quite fresh. Aren't you curious?"
"Don't you want to know who placed this food? Don't you just...?"
"In no mood!"
However, before Grandma Zhu could finish speaking, everyone rushed to reply in unison.
Grandma Zhu was very satisfied with her son and daughter-in-law's answers. At first, she was worried that the children would ask more questions about the origin of the food.
After confirming that they were not curious, she finally felt completely at ease and handed the basket over to Liu.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I'm leaving you here. I'm going to go and sleep with Xixi."
After hearing her mother-in-law's arrangement, Liu happily accepted the basket and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, Mother, you go and rest! I'll take care of things here."
Grandma Zhu knew that her eldest daughter-in-law liked to cook, and after settling everything in, she walked toward her granddaughter with a loving expression.
Zhu Xixi was sleeping very peacefully at this moment, her thick, long eyelashes casting a faint shadow.
Every now and then, she would smack her little lips and giggle.
Grandma Zhu didn't dare to wake Zhu Xixi, so she could only lie on her side next to her, gently patting her little chest and humming a nursery rhyme.
Even the goats couldn't help but bleat when they heard the beautiful singing.
However, the sound unexpectedly traveled through the roof and into the guest room upstairs.
Zhu Yanyan was observing the rain outside the window when she unexpectedly heard the familiar sound of goats.
Worried that she had misheard, she quickly turned to look at her mother and said anxiously.
"Mother, come quickly and listen for me. Can you hear the sound of a goat?"
When Wen Xiuying, who was sewing clothes by the bed, heard her daughter's call, she impatiently put down her needle and thread, and quickly put on a loving mother's expression as she looked up.
"Okay, Mother will listen."
Zhu Yanyan pulled Wen Xiuying to stand in front of the window, her expression serious as she listened intently. After a while, she anxiously asked her mother.
"Mother, did you hear that?"
Wen Xiuying didn't hear anything, but not wanting to offend her daughter, she could only cover her mouth in surprise and nod.
"I heard that, it seems to be coming from downstairs. Could there be goats at the post station?"
Zhu Yanyan found it increasingly strange that the sheep she had taken out of the space earlier had disappeared without a trace.
Now, the sound of goats is unexpectedly heard in the post station. Could it be that Grandma Zhu and her family have moved into the post station?
