Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2153: Chapter 1836: Standing Up for the Baby (Part 2)

But, but her little one was bullied!

She’s here to seek justice; would it be inappropriate to eat their watermelon?

This thought just flashed through her little mind, when a surge of emotion rose up her chest—

"Hic!"

She couldn’t help but pout and want to cry again.

Actually, actually she had long stopped wanting to cry, but just couldn’t manage to stop!

Do kids not care about saving face?

The little girl sniffled twice, eventually reaching out her small hand to take the watermelon.

But she had to say something stern:

"Thank you, Auntie, hic! Even, even if you invite me to eat watermelon hic! You, you still hic, need to apologize to my baby! Hic!"

Who could hold back their laughter? Not laughing out loud was the biggest form of respect everyone could show the little girl.

Wu Lan couldn’t help but smile: "You eat first, finish and then explain to us why you need the apology?"

"You see, we haven’t left the house yet."

"Also, who’s your baby?"

This little girl herself was like a baby, and yet she has a baby already?

Looking at Liu Baoni, she was already eating the watermelon in big bites, completely ignoring her granddaughter’s baby.

The little girl opened her mouth, looking anxious, with a belly full of words wanting to burst out.

But with all the hiccups, she couldn’t get it out clearly, and the enticing fragrance of the watermelon was too tempting, so she lowered her head and took a bite.

Wow!

A child’s reaction is the most straightforward; as soon as the watermelon hit her mouth, she almost lifted her head in amazement, eyes wide open, her entire face displaying:

[Wow!]

Then she started munching rapidly like a little hamster, in no time completely forgot her baby, and with her head down took another big bite.

With guests around, Aunt Lianhua felt awkward cleaning the floor in front of everyone. Now, all of Lao Song’s family sat down and joined in eating.

Rain might have its downsides, but it did cool the temperature down.

Though it cooled to a peculiar degree, around thirty-one or thirty-two degrees; if you don’t turn on the air conditioning, it’s clammy, but if you do, it’s a bit chilly.

In the end, the usually thrifty Wu Lan decided: leave it off.

Now, eating such watermelon reduces the stifling heat, making the temperature just right.

So Song Sancheng, all changed and ready, opened the door planning to come out, but seeing the crowd outside...

He had to close the door nonchalantly, then cheerfully nod to the villagers before turning to go outside.

In the hallway, a bald, molting young goose resembling a quail shrank into the corner, weakly honking when it saw someone come out, then continued retracting its neck.

Song Sancheng: ...

Whose goose became this pitiful?

Look at its cowardice, like it’s been beaten hundreds of times a day.

...

Song Sancheng stealthily continued his fishing endeavors, while inside the house the little girl huffed and finished her piece of watermelon, hesitating, as Wu Lan handed her another piece.

After she finished, there was yet another.

On the fourth piece, Liu Baoni intervened:

"She’s a child, can’t let her eat too much."

Looking at her granddaughter, apparently, she stopped hiccupping, following the watermelon with her eyes, clearly putting her baby far behind.

Until Wu Lan brought out a plate of puffed rice candy.

Homemade popcorn rice, turned into rice candy by Seventh Uncle and Lun Chuan. If peanuts were ripe, a bit of peanuts added would make them even more delicious.

Though the rice candy looked ordinary, it burst with rich sweetness once in the mouth.

Liu Baoni declined twice, but couldn’t resist, and soon she and her granddaughter each grabbed a piece of the candy to eat.

What baby?

A candy baby?

The adults chatted away merrily, while Liu Baoni complained:

"Their parents are really relaxed, dumping the kid in the old home and not caring, just saying not to let her play with the phone... Luckily it’s raining, otherwise busy all day in the field wouldn’t be enough, where’s the time to watch the child?"

Taking the child to the field means exposure to snakes, bugs, mice, and the sun — it’s suffering.

If you want her to stay safely at home, not doing dangerous things, you really have to give her a phone.

Then the kid gets addicted to the phone, and parents complain...

Ah!

Liu Baoni sighs deeply: "It’s really hard to raise kids these days."

Anyway, she’s not planning to move to the city to live with the kids when she’s old; staying in the countryside seems just fine. Do what she can, and whatever she can’t, she has some savings.

If she ever feels unwell, there are people in the village with private cars!

And Director Zhu there is also quite good.
