The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 3 Public Opinion

Chapter 3 Public Opinion
"I am your personal caregiver, from the universe..." Ayu spun around twice, blinking her small eyes hard, but couldn't see who was speaking.

Soon, a frustrated voice came from the air, seemingly complaining about something.

A white ball appeared. It had a pair of fluffy white wings, a fluffy body, and its eyes were hidden somewhere. It also had no mouth.

Ayu looked at it and swallowed hard.

These look a bit like the meatballs my mother used to make.

【…】

I'm your best friend, do you know that?!

Ayu understood the sentence, but didn't understand its specific meaning.

She shook her head.

They even shrank back in fear because the other party seemed a bit fierce.

The little dumpling's wings were all puffed up, and it finally gave up a bit.

After a while, it changed to a cheerful tone.

I'm a little elf, a cute little elf, I'm your playmate, I'll play with you!

Ayu's eyes lit up and she smiled.

She could understand her playmates.

“Playmate.” Ayu stretched out her little hand, pointed to herself, and then to Tuanzi, “Playmate.”

His tone was exceptionally cheerful.

My older sister had many playmates, but she didn't; nobody liked to play with her.

But sometimes, they would play with themselves; they liked to stuff snow down their necks and not let her take it out.

They said they had put too much in, so they gave her an extra half-steamed bun.

She likes to eat steamed buns, and so does her mother.

I wonder if this playmate likes to have snow thrown down her neck. If she does, can she have half of the steamed bun over there?

The dumpling trembled weakly in the air twice.

【Um. 】

It realized that the little brat's intelligence seemed to be suppressed.

He's four years old, but he looks like he has the intelligence of a two-year-old.

It looks like it's only two years old, and it's pitifully thin.

Ayu's gaze remained fixed on the pile of steamed buns standing tall, and a steaming hot bun.

[This is something you've imagined; you can't eat it, and you can't have it anyway.] Tuanzi reminded her.

Unfortunately, Ayu didn't listen at all.

Tuanzi wanted to teach the little one how to use the space, so the whole space shook slightly.

The next moment, Ayu woke up in bed, and the three boys' little heads were huddled together, staring at her with wide eyes.

The boy on the far left shoved the boy in the middle: "It's all your fault, you woke your sister up!"

The boy in the middle looked aggrieved: "I just wanted to touch her to see if she still had a fever."

Only the boy on the far right said to Ayu in a very soft voice, "Little sister, I am your fifth brother."

Ayu was a little confused; her little head couldn't quite process it.

Why did I suddenly find myself in this unfamiliar place? And why are some people suddenly claiming to be my brother?

Does Ayu have an older brother?

Ah Yu... I don't remember.

In fact, three days had passed before Ayu woke up. During those three days, the Wang family tried almost everything they could. But what good ideas could a poor family come up with? They could only spare some manpower to watch over her. Old Wang even went to the village chief's house and shamelessly borrowed a drink of wine to wipe Ayu's back.

They carried Dr. Hu back from a great distance. The baby was too young, so Dr. Hu didn't dare prescribe any medicine. He just asked for some hot food and said he would leave it to fate.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Feng, took out a piece of cotton cloth that she had saved for a long time and made a small quilt for the child, which was at least warmer than that hard, dark mattress.

The stubborn Wang family insisted on saving a child's life, and perhaps their efforts moved the heavens, allowing them to pull the child back from the brink of death.

It's already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, but there's no festive atmosphere at all in the village.

As luck would have it, the continuous heavy snow stopped on the very day Ayu arrived in Hujia Village.

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and those families who were afraid to go out because they didn't have enough clothes at home were able to come out and warm up.

The Wang family tells everyone they meet, "We've found a lucky baby! Look, the sun comes out as soon as she arrives!"

After the snow stops, the snow melts, which is much colder than when it snows, but the sun is strong enough that you'll break out in a sweat if you stand in it for a while.

Someone scoffed, "Why don't you say it was the Kitchen God who went to Heaven to plead for it? Whether it snows or not is Heaven's business, isn't it? What does it have to do with a child?"

Some people earnestly advised: "You should send the child to the mortuary as soon as possible before it snows. Let her bear the consequences herself, whether it's a blessing or a curse. What's the point of you raising her? You don't want to bring someone into your family and become a burden."

Every time Old Mrs. Wang heard this, she would grab a broom and chase after the person, yelling and cursing, "Did I eat your rice or chew your chaff! If you keep talking like this, did the Kitchen God forget to cut off your mouth and take it with him when he went to heaven? I'm afraid even the Heavenly Emperor would find your mouth unlucky!"

The other person was so ashamed of their words that they could only say, "I was just trying to do what's best for your family, why are you complaining?"

Grandma Wang spat and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Bring me your rice and flour, and I'll eat it for you so you won't feel so full all day!"

The men in the village are often too proud to argue, while the women don't have that concern, but none of them can win an argument against Old Mrs. Wang from the Wang family.

It's because they don't like to use vulgar language when they curse; they just love to tease you, leaving you speechless with every sentence.

The neighbor, Aunt Hu, who couldn't win the argument, kept cursing and swearing at home. "If you're so tough, let's have a good argument and see who can out-argue whom!"

Just as Ayu woke up, Old Mrs. Wang had just finished arguing with someone. Seeing her grandsons crammed into her main room, she immediately swung the broom at them.

"I told you not to bother my sister, but you ignored me? Come here, I'm going to spank you all and then I'll write your grandfather's name backwards today!"

Old Wang, who was repairing the roof: "..."

The Wang family has seven grandsons, each one incredibly clever, who sneak in every day to see their younger sister.

Not only them, but other members of the Wang family also often went to see the child, mainly because the child was so good-looking that he was the most handsome child in the surrounding villages.

As Wang Wulang ran, he shouted, "Grandma, stop hitting her! My sister's awake, and her fever has gone down!"

Grandma Wang threw down the broom in her hand and rushed inside.

Meanwhile, Liu's room was also opened, and she hurried towards the main room.

Before long, Ayu saw a bunch of heads crowding around her.

The old lady at the front forced a smile, which looked slightly ferocious, perhaps because she didn't smile often.

"Good child, you're awake. What would you like to eat?"

Ayu stretched out her right hand, put her index finger to her lips, and nervously bit it.

Then, her chin tucked in slightly.

In her eyes, as beautiful as the night, there was a shyness she tried hard to hide.

So well behaved.

The Wang family members were heartbroken when they saw this.

Then, the little jade figure timidly said, "Steamed bun..."
