The little girl couldn't understand what they were saying. She blinked and looked them up and down.
"Uncle, I'm not your daughter. You've mistaken me for someone else. Xiaobao has a dad and a mom."
Gu Sinian admitted that he had misspoke and talked nonsense in front of the child.
I'll have to be more careful next time.
He immediately changed the subject, pinching her chubby, smiling face, "Your name is Xiaobao?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes. My name is Liu Xiaobao, my dad's name is Liu Dashan, my mom's name is Liu Qinghe, and I am a little girl from Qingshuihe."
Gu Sinian smiled indulgently. Look how smart his daughter is; she knows everything.
She was so cute, and her voice was so soft and sweet; it almost melted his heart.
I really want to take Jiang's daughter home right now.
However, if he rashly acknowledges his daughter, Xiao Bao's adoptive parents will not recognize her, and he will not be able to reclaim his child. It would be better to ask his father-in-law to help with a paternity test. With more solid evidence, no one would dare to stop them from reclaiming their child.
"Who gave you all of these?"
Liu Xiaobao said proudly, "My dad was worried that I would get lost and not be able to find my way home, so he told me our home address and some basic information."
Look how smart this kid is!
It turned out to be his daughter.
Su Ying couldn't stand it any longer and kicked Gu Sinian, saying, "You'd better stop now. This child's identity hasn't been confirmed yet, and you're already playing the role."
Gu Sinian whispered, "I can feel that Xiaobao is the person we've been searching for for three years. Don't you think she looks a lot like you?"
Su Ying's rhythm had been swayed by Gu Sinian, "There are indeed some similarities."
"It's not just a few similarities, it's very similar."
"Let's do a paternity test after we get home and finish the disaster relief efforts."
Gu Sinian was a little dissatisfied, as he was 100% certain that the little treasure in front of him was his daughter.
Unfortunately, there was no evidence.
“Paternity testing requires sending samples to the port city for testing, which takes at least half a month to go back and forth.”
Su Ying rolled her eyes helplessly, "It's only ten days or so. Can't you even wait that long? Aren't you being too impatient?"
"How could I not be anxious? I've waited for three whole years."
"It won't make a difference if it's just a few more days."
The two chatted back and forth, with Xiao Bao's gaze shifting back and forth between them, while your eyes kept darting back and forth based on their conversation.
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out, "Where did my mom and dad go? I remember our house collapsed last night, it was all dark, and then my head hurt a lot... When I woke up, my mom and dad were gone."
Su Ying comforted the little girl in her arms, feeling a strange sense of closeness to her, which made her want to get closer to her.
"Xiao Bao's mom and dad are injured. The doctor is treating them. You'll see them soon, Xiao Bao, don't worry."
"Uh-huh."
Liu Xiaobao nodded his little head.
Gu Sinian snatched the child from his wife's arms, claiming it was so she could rest.
Holding a baby for a long time can be tiring, but I've actually been wanting to hold my little one for a long time.
He took the soft, fluffy bundle and patted it in his arms.
A sweet feeling welled up inside me. Is this what it feels like to hold my daughter?
It's different from holding that brat at home.
That brat doesn't want anyone to hold him anymore; he struggles to get down as soon as you try to hold him.
Nothing feels as good as holding my little daughter now.
"Uncle, you should put Xiaobao down. People in the village say that holding Xiaobao will bring bad luck."
Gu Sinian was clearly stunned when he heard this. What kind of infuriating thing was that?
"What do you mean by that, Xiao Bao? Did the villagers bully you?"
Liu Xiaobao nodded his head without hesitation, then thought for a moment and shook his head.
He looked very conflicted.
This greatly troubled Gu Sinian, who doted on his daughter. "You can talk to Dad... Uncle about anything. You just said that holding Xiaobao would bring bad luck. Who told you that?"
Liu Xiaobao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then casually said, "That's what everyone in the village says. They all dislike Xiaobao and say he's a jinx."
“Little Bao from the pediatric ward is not a jinx. Everything I said is true, but the uncles and aunts in the village don’t believe Little Bao, and neither do the older boys.”
Su Ying and Gu Sinian listened to Xiao Bao talk about things in the village. Because he was still young, his ability to express himself was not very clear, and the couple were confused.
Gu Sinian patiently coaxed Xiaobao to speak, "Why don't they believe Xiaobao?"
Liu Xiaobao paused for a moment, then thought about it seriously before speaking.
“A few days ago I told my parents, uncles and aunts that a lot of soil and big rocks would roll down from the mountain and bury the village, and that the ground would crack. But they all said it was a bad omen and that they were just saying unlucky things.”
"The older and younger brothers and sisters in the village don't like to play with me anymore... they think I'm not allowed to visit them..."
"Xiao Bao has no friends left in Qinghe Village..."
Su Ying frowned, and Gu Sinian's brows furrowed even more. The two looked at each other, finding it unbelievable.
Gu Sinian deliberately avoided Xiao Bao and whispered in Su Ying's ear, making sure Xiao Bao couldn't hear him.
"Could it be that Xiao Bao has the ability to predict the future?"
"Perhaps... Xiao Bao just said that a few days ago in front of everyone she said the village would be buried, and now it has become a reality, the village has really been buried."
Gu Sinian stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Qingshuihe gave Xiaobao the title of 'jinx' because it proves that everything she said came true, hence the title of 'jinx' and 'bad luck'."
"Maybe. Otherwise, Xiao Bao wouldn't look so aggrieved. Let me ask him."
"Uh-huh."
Su Ying gently tugged at the little hand of the baby that Gu Sinian was holding in his arms and asked in a very tender manner.
"Xiaobao, Auntie has a question for you. Please tell Auntie the truth, okay?"
Liu Xiaobao nodded obediently, "Yes, yes. Auntie can ask me anything. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."
"Don't you often see people getting injured in the village? When you remind them, they don't listen to you, and then they come to your house to cause trouble when something happens, right?"
Liu Xiaobao nodded his little head very seriously, quite surprised that his aunt knew so much.
"yes."
"When did you tell them that the village would be buried and the ground would crack?"
“I told them a few days ago, but I don’t dare tell anyone else in the village. They’ll beat me, scold me, and call me a jinx. I’ve only told my parents…”
Su Ying and Gu Sinian looked at Liu Xiaobao with shining eyes. He was clearly a lucky star, so how did he become a jinx?
