Chapter 219 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 4
The little girl was held in her mother's arms, sitting on a cart, with an old-fashioned yellow umbrella over her head to provide shade.
Xiao Xiao looked at it curiously again and again, and noticed that the umbrella stand and frame were made of bamboo!
The father, Hu Ziqiang, wearing a straw hat, pulled the cart in front.
What she really meant was that she had already killed the ghost, so there was no need to run away.
But knowing that her parents wouldn't listen to a little kid like her, they were terrified.
When the family reached the village entrance, they encountered villagers resting under a big tree.
Seeing their attire, I asked curiously:
"Yingniang, what are you doing?"
“My child isn’t feeling well, so I’m taking her to town to get her checked out.”
Lu Yingniang glanced at Aunt Cui, who was chatting under the tree, and said casually.
"Oh, I guess I'll have to go check it out..."
The others scoffed and smiled without saying a word.
After the family crossed the stone bridge at the village entrance and walked away.
These people then started discussing amongst themselves.
"That child is sick again. I've never seen that child get better."
"You've done so many immoral things, and now the consequences are falling on your children!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Yingniang is not that kind of person. We're all from the same village, and everyone knows that Yingniang never lies."
"Yes! I lost my house key last time and couldn't find it no matter what I did. It was Yingniang who figured it out and helped me find it."
"That's right, I also believe in Yingniang. Last time, my grandson cried and made a fuss for several nights in a row."
I went to the town clinic, and the doctor prescribed some Tianwang Buxin Pills, but after taking them for a week, I still wasn't cured.
When they took the child to Yingniang, she saw that the woman had only given the child a handful of rice.
The child slept soundly that night.
……
Lu Tiezhu hurriedly rode his secondhand motorcycle back to the village, urged on by his wife Zhao Honglian.
As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, Zhao Honglian jumped off the back seat and ran into the yard.
"Little Bao, Little Bao, Mommy's back. Little Bao... Waaah..."
Zhao Honglian was so excited that she stumbled as she crossed the threshold and almost tripped.
She entered the house crying.
She was determined to defy fate and change her son's destiny of being mentally challenged for life.
"Why are you back? Didn't you just come back last month?"
Aunt Qi heard the sound of a motorcycle outside and guessed that it might be her son and daughter-in-law returning.
I was still wondering why they were coming back at this time.
She had just gotten off the bamboo bed when Zhao Honglian rushed into the room.
"Mom, where's Xiaobao? Does he have a fever?"
Zhao Honglian, her eyes red-rimmed, glared fiercely at her mother-in-law.
In his past life, it was this same old shrew who insisted on making her grandson drink some kind of talisman water and refused to take him to the hospital.
Ultimately, it caused his son to suffer from mental impairment.
If she insists on doing this again, don't blame me for turning against her today.
Aunt Qi was furious when she saw her daughter-in-law glaring at her like she was an enemy.
"What's with your attitude? Are you on fire?"
"Mom, where's Xiaobao?"
Lu Tiezhu, who had just parked his motorcycle, also entered the house and hurriedly called out.
He overheard his wife on the way, saying she had a nightmare that their son, Xiaobao, had a fever that could damage his brain.
At first he said he didn't believe it, but the more he listened, the more it sounded like something his mother would do.
Moreover, the daughter-in-law spoke with great certainty, in great detail, and when she talked about her son's miserable condition, tears welled up in her eyes.
He was getting anxious.
Aunt Qi was even angrier; she was furious at her daughter-in-law's behavior.
But her son did the same thing, which made her both angry and heartbroken.
Before she could speak, Zhao Honglian shoved her roughly and barged into the inner room.
Then, I saw my beloved son, Lu Xiaobao, lying on the bed.
She grabbed him and ran straight to him.
As he ran, he shouted at the man who kept explaining to the old woman:
"Why are you explaining anything to her? Hurry up and drive your son to the town clinic."
"Oh dear! Good, good, good, you really are my good son, teaming up with your wife to bully me."
"I raised you with so much love and care, and you've become an ungrateful wretch!"
Aunt Qi was truly heartbroken. She sat on the ground, slapping her thigh, pointing at Lu Tiezhu, crying and cursing.
Lu Tiezhu stood there, dumbfounded and at a loss.
"What are you standing there for? If you wait any longer, your son will be brain-damaged from the fever."
Zhao Honglian glared fiercely at her useless husband and roared.
At this moment, Lu Xiaobao, still half asleep, rubbed his eyes and saw that he was being held in his mother's arms, with his father opposite him.
"Mom—?! Dad—?!"
Lu Xiaobao thought he was dreaming and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh dear! My son is awake!"
Zhao Honglian was both surprised and delighted, and quickly freed one hand to touch her son's forehead.
Strange, why isn't it burning?
Instead, it feels cool and refreshing, not like someone with a fever!
"This……"
She had some doubts.
But the lessons from her past life were too painful, so she hurriedly ran out with her son in her arms.
Lu Tiezhu had already started his motorcycle and was waiting at the door.
The couple ran off to town in a flash.
Lu Xiaobao was overjoyed to see his parents. He hugged his father's waist on the motorcycle and turned around to talk to Zhao Honglian with a big laugh.
As Lu Tiezhu drove, he turned around and asked hesitantly.
"Wife, isn't our son doing just fine?"
"Stop talking nonsense and go see the doctor to put your mind at ease."
"That's okay!"
Since his wife said so, Lu Tiezhu had no choice but to do as she said.
The two quickly arrived at the town's health center, found a doctor, and the doctor took out a mercury thermometer.
After taking the measurements, he said, somewhat puzzled:
"Isn't this normal? You don't have a fever!"
Go back! Don't wander around in the middle of summer, or you'll get heatstroke.
Even when you weren't sick, you made yourself sick.
This woman is really something, holding her son with such a anxious look on her face, he thought it was some kind of emergency!
"Doctor, is my son really not sick? He's really fine. Why don't you prescribe some medicine?"
Zhao Honglian still refused to give up.
The doctor glared and reprimanded:
"What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you taking medicine if you're not sick? Every medicine has side effects, don't you know that?"
Don't take any medicine without consulting a doctor. Okay, go home now!
The doctor waved his hand, looking impatient, and told them to leave.
Zhao Honglian, holding her son's hand, came out in a daze.
"Wife, how are you?"
Lu Tiezhu asked hurriedly from the corridor.
Zhao Honglian stared blankly at her husband with a dazed expression.
"The doctor said my son is fine."
"It's alright, it's alright! How come you..."
Lu Tiezhu first breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a puzzled look.
Zhao Honglian shook her head, feeling her mind was in complete turmoil.
That's clearly not how it works.
How could things be different now!
How is she supposed to settle accounts with that big liar, fake sorceress Lu Yingniang now?
After leaving the clinic, the couple bought popsicles for their son at the intersection, and each of them got one.
When they got home, Aunt Qi looked at the couple with disdain.
"Grandma, Grandma, have an ice pop!"
Lu Xiaobao was unaware that his parents and grandmother were having a fight. He took the almost melted popsicle and offered it to his grandmother's mouth.
"Oh, my dear grandson, Grandma is too old to eat, little one, you eat!"
After saying that, she snorted coldly at her son and asked disdainfully:
"I saw a doctor, what did he say? Is he going to sentence me to death?"
"Mom, I was wrong. I was in a hurry and misunderstood you."
Zhao Honglian also asked her son about it on the way.
She knew that her son had indeed been taken by his grandmother to the house of that charlatan Lu Yingniang to beg for talisman water to drink.
Strangely enough, this time his fever broke quickly.
Nothing's wrong.
This shattered Zhao Honglian's beliefs.
She began to doubt that she had been reborn, and that her so-called past life was just an incredibly vivid nightmare.
