Chapter 204: The Return of Ten Thousand Stars
It was noon and it had just rained heavily. The villagers had been busy all night and were now catching up on sleep at home. There were few people walking around in the village.
The knocking sound at the Wan family's door was particularly clear, with rhythmic and polite dong sounds. However, the Wan family was now like frightened birds, and any slight movement would make the whole family breathe rapidly.
Especially Wan Ersao, she stared at the direction of the courtyard gate outside the window in horror, and hugged Xiao Fubao tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid that the person who came was coming to snatch her daughter away. She also forgot to cry, and her whole body was shaking.
Old Mrs. Wan was still relatively calm at this time. She looked around at the people in the room, and everyone had a certain degree of panic on their face.
"What are you afraid of? The third brother said that the notice was just posted. Even if someone reported it, it wouldn't be so fast. Boss, go open the door and see if there are any neighbors coming to visit us."
Old Mrs. Wan's words made the whole family feel relieved. Wan Ersao was also obviously a little relaxed. Little Fubao sat in Wan Ersao's arms, blinking her big eyes, a little confused. Although she could understand what was said, this matter was beyond her cognition. She only knew that Wan Ersao was her mother, but from what everyone said just now, it seemed that she had another mother. Little Fubao's little head was a little insufficient. Could it be that one person had two mothers?
Little Fubao hugged Wan Ersao's neck with both hands, and put his little face against Wan Ersao's face, his voice soft and sticky with a strong sense of dependence, "Mom, you are Fubao's mother, Fubao only has one mother."
Xiao Fubao's words really touched Wan Ersao's lungs. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears while hugging Xiao Fubao.
Old Mrs. Wan knew that Wan Ersao liked this little girl very much. In addition, the Wan family had no girls, so she also invested a lot of affection in little Fubao. Not to mention Wan Ersao, even she couldn't stand it.
Old Mrs. Wan also wiped her tears and sobbed. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was so depressing that it made people feel suffocated.
Boss Wan had already left the upper room and strode to the gate of the courtyard. He was cautious and did not open the gate immediately. Instead, he hid behind the door and peeked out through the crack. When he saw who was coming clearly, he was overjoyed and quickly opened the door.
"Mo'er? When did you come back? I haven't seen you for a while, and my uncles are missing you."
Boss Wan quickly opened the door and let Wan Xingmo in.
Wan Xingmo told everyone that he was doing business outside, but only Wan Laosan knew that what he did was much more difficult than doing business.
In order to maintain his image as a businessman, Wan Xingmo changed into a new outfit.
Now he was wearing a dark brocade robe with dark patterns, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his hair was tied up with a small golden crown. He was already extremely handsome, and after dressing up like this, his whole temperament changed a lot.
Boss Wan had a look of delight on his face, and kept secretly glancing at Wan Xingmo.
"Uncle, long time no see, Mo'er misses you all very much."
When Boss Wan saw that Wan Xingmo was wearing a pair of long boots with mud on the soles, he quickly closed the door and went to the kitchen to get a basin of water.
"Mo'er, come and wash your shoes. Such good shoes have become dirty after walking on the roads in our village."
As Boss Wan said this, he was about to squat down to wash Wan Xingmo's boots, but Wan Xingmo quickly dodged.
"Uncle Wan, no need, I can do it myself."
Boss Wan never closed his mouth, and kept looking at Wan Xingmo with a silly smile. Now the family has encountered a second major difficulty, but it happened that Mo'er came back at this time. Could it be that he also heard something?
When Wan Xingmo finished washing the dirt, Boss Wan came to his senses and quickly shouted into the house: "Mom, it's Mo'er, Mo'er is back."
Boss Wan looked at Wan Xingmo, who had grown a lot taller, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart, as if he saw his own son grow taller.
Boss Wan roared, and everyone in the room filed out.
Old Mrs. Wan stood at the front, followed by her sons, and Second Sister-in-law Wan also followed behind with little Fubao in her arms.
"Mo'er? Are you really Mo'er? Oh my! Oh my God, you've changed your clothes and I can't recognize you. I thought you were some distinguished guest. Come quickly and let me take a good look at you. You've been away for several months and I couldn't even see you when I wanted to."
Old Mrs. Wan stepped forward and grabbed Wan Xingmo's people and pulled them into the house.
Wan Xingmo and Wan Laosan who was standing inside looked at each other. Wan Laosan smiled kindly, and Wan Xingmo knew that Uncle Wan San had been keeping it a secret for him.
Wan Xingmo was pulled into the house by Old Lady Wan, who told him to take off his shoes and get on the kang, while also urging Old Lady Wan to fetch some water.
"Grandma, I'm not thirsty. Don't rush. Let's all sit down and talk. I came back this time because of Xiao Fubao. Since Third Uncle is at home at this time, you must have heard about the notice that someone posted, right?"
Wan Xingmo's words instantly brought the Wan family back to the dull atmosphere just now. The atmosphere, which had just become lively because of Wan Xingmo's arrival, instantly became quiet.
Wan Xingmo was looking at little Fubao. Little Fubao was finally able to look her big brother in the eye. She quickly broke free from Wan Ersao's arms and climbed into Wan Xingmo's arms.
"Big brother, Fubao misses you, where have you been?"
Xiao Fubao has a very clear memory of Wan Xingmo. Even though Wan Xingmo has changed so much now, Xiao Fubao still recognized Wan Xingmo at a glance.
Wan Xingmo placed Xiao Fubao on his crossed legs and gently stroked the top of Xiao Fubao's head with his big, calloused hands.
"Fubao, do you still remember me? I thought you had forgotten me. Can I ask you a question?"
Little Fubao nodded obediently, and looked at Wan Xingmo with his bright eyes without blinking. This big brother is so handsome.
"Fubao, if a very beautiful aunt came to you and said she was your mother, would you be willing to go with her?"
Wan Xingmo's words shocked everyone present, especially Wan Ersao. She could no longer hold back and wanted to snatch little Fubao from Wan Xingmo's arms. Now, everyone she saw seemed like someone who wanted to steal her child.
After being shocked, Old Lady Wan began to think deeply. This Moer must know more than them, otherwise why would he ask this question? Let's listen first. Moer might have come back just for this matter.
As soon as Mrs. Wan saw the little action of the second wife of the old lady, she immediately shouted in a low voice: "Second wife, calm down, Mo'er will not harm Xiao Fubao, you should use your brain."
Wan Ersao has completely lost her mind. Just imagine which mother, facing the moment of losing her child, can remain calm and not go crazy.
Wan Ersao was pulled by Wan Laoer from behind. Wan Xingmo did not stop because of this little episode, but looked at Xiao Fubao. At this time, everyone's attention was also focused on Xiao Fubao.
After being scolded by Old Lady Wan, Mrs. Wan became more sober. She looked at Xiao Fubao nervously, and she also wanted to know what choice Xiao Fubao would make.
