The Daily Melon-Eating Life of an Annoying Sister-in-Law in the 80s

As a Celestial Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, a treasured artifact left by her grandmaster. Unexpectedly, somethin...

Chapter 51 Catching Up

Hua Xiangyun held the child quietly, as if the bumpy car ride had no effect on her at all.

Xiao Dani also curiously observed the two, one big and one small. She knew how difficult her precious grandson was, but she had never seen him so well-behaved before.

Hua Xiangyun waited until the black mist disappeared before returning the child to the other party, saying, "Isn't this child quite well-behaved? Maybe you held him the wrong way."

Zhang Min wanted to retort, thinking that this little brat dared to lecture them, but her mother-in-law silenced her.

"Thank you so much, little girl." Xiao Dani, who had been difficult to deal with before, smiled exceptionally kindly. "Are you also heading to the city?"

Hua Xiangyun was just thinking of finding them after getting off the train, but she didn't expect them to be so understanding. "Yes, get off at the station."

After Hua Xiangyun finished speaking, she slowly returned to her seat. As for those scrutinizing gazes, Hua Xiangyun said she was already used to them.

When Xun Liangfen saw her daughter return, she grabbed her hand and sat her down in her seat. "You child, you can't be so impulsive in the future."

In situations like this, if you can't help but cover your ears, then if you encounter a difficult person, things won't be so easy to talk to.

She's been spoiled rotten by her in-laws; why is she trying to show off when she's out and about?

Hua Xiangyun smiled and remained quiet for the rest of the journey.

When the train pulled into the station, everyone got off one after another, and Xun Liangfen prepared to lead her on foot to the family building not far ahead.

Xiao Dani followed silently behind, holding her child. Some other passengers on the same bus stood there watching until they were all far away before dispersing.

Hua Xiangyun stopped at the corner and looked for Liangfen, "What's wrong? Are you tired? It's not far from here, hang in there a little longer."

Hua Xiangyun: "Let's wait here for someone."

"Who are we waiting for?" Xun Liangfen felt somewhat puzzled.

Hua Xiangyun slightly raised her chin, looking back the way she came, and said, "We're here."

"Little girl," Xiao Dani said, quickly catching up with them as soon as they stopped. "My child doesn't look too well. Could you please hold her for us again?"

Xun Liangfen immediately shielded Hua Xiangyun behind her, saying, "What's wrong with you?"

"Your child isn't feeling well, so you go to see a doctor and ask my daughter to hold the child for you. Isn't that going too far?"

Aunt Xiao looked at Hua Xiangyun with a pleading expression, "I was wrong before. To be honest, I only have this one grandson, and this child..."

Hua Xiangyun deliberately chose this secluded place, so she dared to say some things: "You probably guessed it, right? He'll keep crying and making a fuss, it's not a normal thing."

Xiao Dani looked excited and said in a low voice, "Master, to be honest, I took him to the hospital before, but the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. They just said the child was a bit fussy."

I had nowhere else to turn for help, so I had no choice but to keep taking my child to the hospital.

Can you tell me what's wrong with this child?

It's not that she doesn't want to look for unconventional methods, but everyone is very superstitious about it now, so there's nowhere to look.

Now that they have such an opportunity, she must seize it no matter what.

Hua Xiangyun: "These children were twins when they were born, weren't they?"

Zhang Min's eyes widened. She had given birth to twins, a fact known only to her family. The other child was born with a defect and died shortly after birth.

The elders in the family felt this was an ominous sign, so they secretly buried him without saying a word to anyone else, treating him as if he were their only son.

Xiao Dani swallowed hard before asking, "Little Master, is it because of that child?"

Xun Liangfen couldn't listen anymore and grabbed Hua Xiangyun's hand to leave, saying, "We don't understand what you're saying, Xiangyun, let's go home quickly."

Xiao Dani had finally found a lifeline, and she was not about to let it slip by. She quickly reached out and grabbed Hua Xiangyun, saying, "Comrade, please, I'll just say a few words to the little master."

Hua Xiangyun didn't want to be pulled around like this, so she flipped her wrist and broke free from their grasp.

"Mom, it's nothing. I just want to say a few words to this comrade."

Xun Liangfen, “…”

Hua Xiangyun, "was born as a twin, but was abandoned because of a slight defect, so naturally she would feel resentful."

She wouldn't have bothered with this if the child wasn't innocent.

The resentment that had just been collected was now slowly swirling around the child again.

Xiao Dani's pupils contracted, and she became even more convinced. After all, only the elders knew what had happened that day; their son and daughter-in-law were kept in the dark.

"What do you mean by that, little master?" Zhang Min wasn't stupid. She held her son tightly in her arms, her voice trembling slightly.

Hua Xiangyun said, "Please address me as comrade. You can go back and explain what this means later."

She reached out and touched the child's head again. "They say the one who tied the knot must untie it. His brother harbors resentment, so naturally he won't leave."

If we let him continue like this, not only will the child's life be in danger, but your family will also be thrown into turmoil.

Xiao Dani understood, her legs went weak, and she was about to kneel down to Hua Xiangyun, but Hua Xiangyun exerted a little force in her hand, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

"Xiao Da... Comrade Xiao, this is a terrible thing for us old folks. The child is innocent, and the rest of the family is innocent. Please, we beg you, to think of a way." Xiao Dani was also filled with regret. When the child was born, his two legs were of different lengths. They were afraid that the villagers would laugh at them, and they were also afraid that raising the child would be another burden. That's why they didn't reach out to save that fragile life.

It could be said that these elderly people were the ones who instigated this whole affair, but they never expected to get involved in such a tragic situation.

Hua Xiangyun said, “Go back and rebury it in the ancestral land, respectfully inform our ancestors, let them be properly named, and don’t forget to commemorate them on Qingming Festival in the future.”

Hua Xiangyun then looked at Zhang Min, who was now standing silently beside her, weeping. It seemed she had also guessed the truth.

"The rest depends on your family doing good deeds and accumulating merit in the future, and gradually paying off this debt."

Hua Xiangyun had just touched the child's head when she cast a spell to prevent him from making any further moves for the next two years.

If the family does as she says, the infant's soul's knot will gradually untie, allowing it to be given the chance to be reincarnated.

Xiao Dani thought more deeply, "Is this all there is to it? Will my little one still cry like this?"

Hua Xiangyun said, "It depends on what you do. If you succeed, the problem will naturally be solved; otherwise, there's nothing anyone can do."

Xiao Dani: "Young comrade, could you please send him away?"

The thought of having something like this constantly by her side sent chills down Xiao Dani's spine.

Hua Xiangyun shook her head, "If the karmic debt isn't cleared up, they'll make up for it sooner or later."

Hua Xiangyun had said all she needed to say; how they handled the situation was up to them. "Mom, let's go back!"

Xun Liangfen felt that in those few short minutes, her heart had already been overloaded, and she didn't even stop when her daughter said she was leaving.
