We can't possibly take both children back to Wuzhou.
If Zhuang Rongrong had no one left in her family, then it would be understandable for her to take her back. But Sisi still has relatives, and her relatives would never allow her to go to Wuzhou with her.
Besides, they had only met once. No one would entrust their child to someone they had only known for a short time, even if she claimed to be a good person.
Wen Sang quickly calmed down, but there was still some regret in her eyes.
"Perhaps I've mistaken her for someone else. I thought the goddess that's been making such a fuss in town was Sisi, but it turns out to be Rongrong."
The old lady asked in confusion, "When did Rongrong become a goddess?"
Zhou Erqian playfully nudged Zhuang Rongrong, whose face was frozen, and asked, "Rongrong, when did you become a goddess? Everyone in town knows?"
"I don't know either. I just went to town to sell ginseng. There's no one left at home, and I need some money to live on, otherwise..."
She mumbled something, as if she didn't understand anything.
Hearing this, Qin felt pity, but she was still reluctant to adopt Zhuang Rongrong.
Sisi will not keep anything that she dislikes, no matter how pitiful it may be.
“Rongrong has become a goddess, and now she’s highly sought after.” Zhou Dawei smiled gently.
Zhuang Rongrong gave an awkward smile in return.
As they talked, Wen Sang's thoughts raced through her mind. Suddenly, she covered Qin's hand with her own and said, "Elder sister, I'm an honest person. I won't beat around the bush with you."
"My name is Wen Sang, and this is my maid, Chunxiang. I come from Wuzhou City and am the wife of Zhao Tianfu, a wealthy merchant from Wuzhou."
This trip was solely to find ginseng to save my only son, Yuan'er. Yuan'er is in poor health; the doctor said he wouldn't live past six, but he's already over five.
His health is deteriorating day by day. My eldest sister is also a mother; she can surely understand my pain. I don't want to be an old woman who dies before her young son.
As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin felt extremely upset and tenderly took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, saying, "I know."
"Sisi saved my life when I was on the verge of death today, and I am truly grateful. So I thought of... and then I thought of..."
Wen Sang suddenly grabbed her hand tightly. "Elder sister, please, could you let Sisi come back to Wuzhou with me to save my Yuan'er's life?"
Qin was stunned. She had lived in Peach Blossom Village her whole life and didn't even know which way was north, south, east, or west outside the town, let alone Wuzhou.
Should we send Sisi to a place where she knows no one?
She quickly shook her head, "No, no, Sisi has never left home, we don't even know where Wuzhou is..."
"Big sister."
Wen Sang interrupted her, and under the watchful eyes of several people, she actually lifted her skirt and knelt down in front of Qin Shi.
"I know my sister's worries. I swear on my life that I will protect Sisi's safety!"
Qin had never received such a grand gesture in her life. She was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled the person up, but Wen Sang seemed determined not to get up until she agreed.
"It was just a coincidence that my Sisi saved you, madam. Sisi is only three and a half years old, how could she know any medical skills?" The old lady got up and helped her.
"Please rise, Madam."
"But I really have no other choice." Wen Sang cried out in anguish, and Chunxiang beside her also wiped away her tears.
Seeing her aunt crying so miserably, Long Sisi felt a pang of sadness. She wanted to speak, but the Great Demon King's icy hand covered her mouth.
Looking up, she saw the Demon King's jawline was cold and hard, exuding a chilling aura. She struggled for a moment, but finding herself tightly bound, she simply gave up.
Sisi's little brain just couldn't figure it out.
Why didn't the Great Demon King let her save her aunt's child?
Xie Yan had his own thoughts. Although he was only five years old, his mind was much more profound than that of other children.
Although this person revealed the truth, words are still words, and it's hard to guarantee they aren't lies. The strongest son in the Zhou family is Zhou Dawei.
Even if Zhou Dawei escorts Sisi to the Zhao family, the richest family in the country, what if something goes wrong? How can he take responsibility for an entire family all by himself?
When they couldn't protect Sisi, they could only suppress her dazzling light, just for her safety.
Xie Yan believed that the Zhou family shared the same thought.
He treated her like a younger sister, forgetting that he had recently called her a "demon," and also forgetting Sisi's abilities.
She wholeheartedly protected him as if he were an innocent child.
Zhou Dawei indeed thought so: "No, my sister has never been far from home, she will be scared, and besides, she doesn't have the ability to heal people."
“That’s true. That brat is timid and mischievous. It wouldn’t be good if she caused trouble,” Zhou Erqian added.
As Wen Sang listened to their words, her face gradually darkened, as if a jade bead had lost its luster.
Zhuang Rongrong clenched her fists. Since the Zhou family didn't want this wealth and glory, it was time for her to fight for herself.
"Madam, perhaps Rongrong could try treating your son's illness."
Zhou Erqian grabbed her wrist and asked urgently, "What do you want to do? Do you want to go to Wuzhou with her?"
What will he do if she goes to Wuzhou?
The man didn't even glance at her, but met Wen Sang's bright eyes and said decisively, "Madam, Rongrong is willing to give it a try."
Do you know any medicine?
"If the goddess can summon rain, surely she can also save the common people?" Wen Sang thought to herself.
Zhuang Rongrong remained composed and dignified, saying, "Rongrong doesn't know how, but Rongrong has a Bodhisattva statue in her hand. As long as Rongrong prays sincerely, the Bodhisattva will grant all of Rongrong's wishes."
She said confidently, "If you don't believe me, Madam, you can ask the people in the village. They can testify for Rongrong."
Wen Sang glanced at Qin Shi, and only after seeing her nod did she say, "Is it really that miraculous? Then why were you willing to save my son?"
"During the famine, Rongrong lost her parents and was still young, so she just wanted someone to rely on."
