Chapter 4 Chapter 004 The two swore a solemn oath.
"Grandma, I want to go find mom." Qin Yuan remembered that she had received something from her daughter, but her daughter didn't know about it yet. But the Qin family didn't have anything to give to her daughter. After thinking about it, she thought of something.
"Okay, grandma will take Yoyo to find your mom right away!"
Seeing that her granddaughter no longer mentioned the ointment, Liu Chunhua picked up her granddaughter, along with the frostbite ointment that Qin Yuan was holding in her arms, and then walked towards the room of her third daughter-in-law.
Liu Chunhua is 48 years old this year, which is an absolutely old age in such a place in ancient times. However, she was born in a butcher's family. Her father is a butcher. She has been eating meat since she was a child, and her skeleton is much larger than that of ordinary women. In the Qin family, Liu Chunhua is even a head taller than her husband Qin Dali, and she is even stronger than her husband. It can be said that she has the final say in the Qin family.
Qin Yuan is the daughter of Liu Chunhua's third son. The third son, Qin Yu, is only nineteen years old this year, and his daughter-in-law is twenty years old. They are the youngest among Liu Chunhua's sons to get married and have children. When Qin Yuan was born, her mother, Xie Yaer, was only fifteen years old. She was still a child. Qin Yuan still feels terrified when she thinks about it.
After a few steps, they reached the room next to the third bedroom and Liu Chunhua shouted loudly to the people inside.
"Third daughter-in-law, you want your mother!"
There was movement in the room immediately, and when the door opened, a beautiful woman appeared. Although she was twenty years old, she still looked a bit childish. She was Qin Yuan's mother in this life, Xie Yaer. It can be said that Qin Yuan spent every night with her mother Xie Yaer after she was born, so she was naturally close to her.
"Mom~" As Qin Yuan called out, Xie Yaer quickly reached out to hug her.
"Mom, thank you for taking care of Yoyo. Give it to me. I'll hold you."
But Liu Chunhua was unwilling to do so. She dodged Xie Yaer's action and said in an unexpected voice.
"You're growing up, how can I hold you with your skinny arms and legs? I'll hold you. I'll tell you something later, so don't be surprised."
Liu Chunhua carried Qin Yuan and walked into the door of the third daughter-in-law as if she was entering an empty place. She was the pillar of the Qin family, and all the young daughters-in-law in the Qin family were very dependent on Liu Chunhua.
Xie Yaer quickly closed the door to block out the cold wind. Then she turned around and saw her mother sitting on the bed holding her daughter.
The bed was called a bed, but in fact it was covered with a quilt and a mat made of linen filled with reed fluff. This was already very good. If it were placed in other people's homes in the village, the beds they would use during the winter would be made of straw.
He held his granddaughter in his arms and sat down directly on the warm place where his daughter-in-law had just sat. He held the linen quilt against Qin Yuan and the warm fur pressed against his body, making him feel warm instantly. This linen quilt actually had a secret. In order to keep Qin Yuan warm, rabbit fur was specially sewn inside. These rabbit furs were collected by the men and children in the family over the past five years, and there was only one piece on Qin Yuan's body.
Xie Yaer also sat on the other side of the bed. Winter in ancient times was unbearable. Even in the house it was freezing cold. If you didn't stay in bed, you couldn't get through the day.
"Mom, where is the handkerchief you embroidered for me in the summer?" Qin Yuan suddenly spoke, which surprised Xie Yaer.
"I've kept it in the cupboard for you. That handkerchief doesn't keep you warm, so it's useless to take it out in winter."
The handkerchief was embroidered by Xie Yaer herself. When the weather was warm, Xie Yaer would embroider some small items for the embroidery room to earn some money, such as handkerchiefs. When her daughter saw it, she was very happy, so Xie Yaer embroidered a small handkerchief for Qin Yuan with a cute little deer and the words Qin Yuan on it.
Xie Yaer was a well-educated woman, and marrying into the Qin family was truly marrying down. If something hadn't happened to the Xie family's branch, Xie Yaer wouldn't have hurriedly married into a farming family like the Qin family because of the disaster. She even got pregnant and gave birth early at the behest of her parents. But her mother-in-law Liu Chunhua said that a woman giving birth at too young an age could be fatal, as her eldest and second daughters-in-law both gave birth when they were around 20 years old.
"I want to give it to the little fairy." Qin Yuan always pretended to be a child in front of her mother and was able to get it easily. The word "little fairy" made Xie Yaer look at her daughter in surprise.
Although everyone in the Qin family came from an ignorant farming family, Xie Yaer had followed her parents to the prosperous capital. The knowledgeable Xie Yaer naturally knew that there were many talented people in the world, and there were also children who were born with knowledge and were extremely intelligent.
After discovering that her daughter was really afraid that the fairy child had come to earth and had her own ideas, Xie Yaer never took her daughter's words seriously. If her daughter was born in the Xie family, she would be the unicorn that the entire Xie clan would hold in high esteem.
"Okay, Mom will get it for you."
She got up from the bed and soon took out a pink handkerchief from the cabinet in the room. Although it was small, it could be sold for hundreds of dollars in an embroidery studio. Ordinary people could not earn that much in half a year.
After handing the embroidered handkerchief to her daughter, Qin Yuan discovered that her mother also had frostbite on her hands. Although her mother was the only one in the Qin family who did not have to go to the fields because of embroidery, the winter was so cold that frostbite could not be prevented no matter what.
When handing the handkerchief to her daughter, Xie Yaer noticed the white in her daughter's arms. Noticing her mother's gaze, Qin Yuan deliberately loosened her hands, revealing the white medicine jar that was ordinary in modern times. But such exquisite and warm-colored white porcelain was something that only wealthy families could have. How could it appear in her daughter's arms?
"My daughter-in-law, the thing in Youyou's arms is the magic medicine sent by the fairy you met in the fairy world because she saw that you were suffering from frostbite. I'm afraid that Youyou is going to give this embroidered handkerchief to the fairy as a gift."
Although she was a farm girl, Liu Chunhua immediately understood what her granddaughter meant. This is how it is when making friends with neighbors, with people coming and going. However, her family did not have anything good to offer to that little fairy.
"Mom..." Xie Yaer's voice trembled, and she looked at her daughter with trembling eyes, but there was no surprise, but fear.
If her daughter was not in her mother-in-law's arms, Xie Yaer would have rushed over to grab her and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. During these five years, she had just become a mother and thought that there was something wrong with her as a mother. However, after being reminded by her mother-in-law and her elder and second sisters-in-law, she realized that her daughter was not an ordinary girl, which was why she behaved so abnormally.
In the past few years, every time Xie Yaer found out that her daughter was about to commit suicide, she would break down and cry, and she would resent herself for being incompetent. The Qilin child was born in her belly, but she could not give him the best, which made the Qilin child always want to leave. Now that she heard that her daughter's identity as a fairy child was confirmed, Xie Yaer was afraid that her daughter would leave her.
Sensing her mother's fear, Qin Yuan stretched out her hand, and her small hand was immediately covered by Xie Yaer's two hands, soft and warm, with the unique warmth of a mother.
"Mother, it was all Youyou's fault before. Youyou must be good and stop hurting yourself from now on. Youyou can contact the fairy in heaven. She said that after this life, Youyou will return to heaven, so Youyou will never hurt yourself again."
Qin Yuan had already decided to stay in the ancient world to take care of her daughter, and what she said was true. However, when people heard her words, not only Xie Yaer, but also her grandmother Liu Chunhua who was holding her behind her was shocked.
You should know that after the Qin family discovered Youyou's suicide, they were very sad and tried every way to keep the child, but they never heard any promise from Youyou.
And now, the child finally spoke, finally said that he was willing to stay in their Qin family and willing to live in this world.
"Yoyo! Grandma's so good!" Liu Chunhua couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the hair on Yoyo's head. There were tears in her eyes, but she didn't want the child to see it.
"Yoyo, mom is happy too. As long as Yoyo doesn't hurt herself anymore, mom will be the happiest."
Xie Yaer's eyes also turned slightly red, and she actually smiled as she spoke. She bent down, gently held her daughter's little hand and wiped the tears from her face. For the first time, she felt extremely at peace in her heart.
Her Yoyo, her flesh and blood daughter, was finally willing to stay by her side and live well. Xie Yaer's tears seemed to sting Qin Yuan all of a sudden. She looked down at this woman who had not even celebrated her 20th birthday. This was her mother in this life. In the modern world, she would have just started college.
But in these five years, her mother has been exhausted just by worrying about her daughter.
Qin Yuan gently wiped her mother's tears with her palm, and her eyes also turned red, knowing that Xie Yaer didn't want her to see her tears.
After a while, Xie Yaer raised her head and spoke softly.
"How can I give this handkerchief to my friend? Why don't you ask your friend if he has anything special to celebrate? I will definitely find it for you."
As long as the fairy keeps her daughter safe, Xie Yaer is willing to do anything, even... even if it means bowing to those who she had once separated from.
"Just close your eyes, Mom and Grandma, and I can give the things to my friend!"
Qin Yuan trusted everyone in the Qin family. If the Qin family had really had bad intentions during these five years, they would have abandoned and drowned this weird child.
But it was the warmth of her family that allowed Qin Yuan to grow up in such a difficult environment until she was five years old.
"Okay, grandma, close your eyes immediately. I promise I won't look! If you peek, may God punish me with lightning!"
Liu Chunhua hugged Qin Yuan from behind and swore a solemn oath. As an old woman in the village, she believed in these things the most, and saying this was a promise to her granddaughter.
"Yes, Yoyo, don't worry, mother won't see either. Heaven is above, and the thick earth is my witness. I, Xie Yaer, will never peek at my daughter Qin Yuan. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"
Compared to Liu Chunhua's anxiety, Xie Yaer raised her hand and made an oath. This time, the oath was witnessed by heaven and earth. However, she still had a thought in her heart: even if there was lightning, please don't hurt your daughter in the slightest.
Qin Yuan had no time to stop them, and the two of them swore a solemn oath, which made her feel helpless.
But when she saw her mother closing her eyes, and turned around to find that her grandmother had also closed her eyes, but the hands holding her were shaking, she knew that her grandmother and mother would not peek at her!!!
She started exchanging cell phones in her mind! The next second, a cell phone appeared in Qin Yuan's hand. Her mind suddenly twitched, and she reached out to pull Xie Yaer's hand. As expected, she saw Xie Yaer's fingers piercing the cell phone.
Then... Qin Yuan was even more suspicious, fearing that people in this ancient world could not see this mobile phone at all.
She hurriedly opened the mother-daughter express delivery, then selected Qin Huan's name and chose to send the item. She found that she could only send the same item weighing less than one kilogram in a day, so she directly sent the embroidered handkerchief with her name on it. When her daughter saw it, she knew she was safe.
After sending the letter and signing in, Qin Yuan deliberately did not take back the phone, but instead asked her mother and grandmother to open their eyes.
"Grandma, Mom, please open your eyes."
As soon as she spoke, they both opened their eyes, and then they saw their granddaughter waving her hands, as if she was holding something in the void.
"Grandma, Mom, can you see what I have in my hands?"
The two were shocked, as they couldn't see it, and immediately shook their heads.
“I can’t see.”
“I can’t see.”
Now Qin Yuan was really sure that the mobile phone was a modern item, and as her golden finger, ancient people would probably not be able to see it. Now she was really relieved.
The embroidered handkerchief that had just been placed in front of her had disappeared, causing Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to look at each other. Their eyes were filled with shock at the magical skills and a tacit understanding between them.
Everyone in the family has their own tacit way of treating Youyou. Even to outsiders, the people in Qinjia Village have never seen Youyou. They only know that Youyou is weak and is a pampered girl who is kept in the house and never goes out.
At this moment, you have truly witnessed the embroidered handkerchief disappearing in front of you. Who wouldn’t be shocked?
"I have already given the things to the little fairy." Qin Yuan saw her mother's shock and picked up the frostbite cream again.
"Mom, grandma, this winter is so cold that even my aunts and brothers and sisters have gotten frostbite, not to mention grandpa and uncles. I want to share this frostbite cream with everyone in the family. In a dozen days, the frostbite on your hands will slowly heal."
The most important thing is that I still have 30 minutes to talk to my daughter tomorrow, and then we can discuss what supplies to exchange. Once a day, even if it only weighs one kilogram, it will be enough for her to live a good life in ancient times.
"But this is the magic medicine given to you by the little fairy. Oh, mother and I have lived like this in the mortal world for years. Just take this medicine and use it yourself." Faced with the warning look of her mother-in-law, Xie Yaer immediately rejected her daughter's kindness. She felt hot in her heart, knowing that her daughter had her in her heart.
"..." Qin Yuan knew that it was useless for her to say anything more. Although her family listened to her, they would never back down when it came to caring about her health.
Besides, this kind of environment at home cannot be improved by medicine. The real way to improve frostbite is winter clothes and charcoal fire. So what modern items would be valuable but not eye-catching in ancient times?
Qin Yuan found her five-year-old brain insufficient. Perhaps it was reincarnation, but she couldn't figure out how a farming family like the Qin family could protect such valuables. The Great Yong Dynasty she was in was completely abandoned, leaving Qin Yuan completely clueless about prices, the outside world, and what was truly valuable.
Just as she was thinking about the supplies to be exchanged, she suddenly realized that the white porcelain of frostbite cream in her arms seemed to be something she had not seen for a long time. The bowls in the Qin family were all black or even clay-colored, while the white porcelain was as smooth as jade. Qin Yuan immediately looked up at her mother.
"Mother, since you're reluctant to use the medicine, why don't we sell this white porcelain jar? Is it worth anything?"
