The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 81 Thanks
The people outside didn't hear Old Liu's response, so they called out twice more. Old Liu replied irritably, "I'm not deaf, I'll go in a bit."

Old Liu didn't take the silver on the table, but his eldest and second daughters-in-law stared at it.

Clearly, they won't be generous enough to refuse even this small amount of money.

Liu Dashi whispered, "We still owe the doctor 100 coins for Mother's medicine..."

The family wasn't so poor that they couldn't afford anything, but they still needed to use the remaining money to buy farm tools and other miscellaneous expenses.

One tael of silver is quite a lot; for a frugal family, it could last for a year!

Qin asked, "Wan'er, how is things at home? Don't try to make ends meet by borrowing from one source to cover another. It's better to owe money to your family than to owe money to outsiders. There's nothing to be ashamed of in telling your parents."

Qin felt guilty about her youngest daughter, which is why she agreed to lend her the money in the first place.

"Mother, don't worry, this money was given to me by my mother-in-law. If we ever run into financial difficulties, we'll inevitably have to ask you for help. Don't abandon your daughter then." Liu pretended to be coquettish, feeling a little embarrassed in front of her husband.

"Then I'll take the money. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, remember to let me know." After Qin Shi accepted the money, both of her daughters-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that their in-laws would be too biased and wouldn't even accept the money their younger sister had returned, which would make life really difficult for the family.

Fortunately, they are reasonable.

Old Liu snorted coldly: "If you try to put on a brave face, I won't take care of you anymore! The money that's back in my pocket, you can forget about taking it back!"

Liu smiled and said, "My daughter understands."

"What are you dawdling for? Didn't you hear the village chief calling us? Are you all possessed by toads or something? Do you want me to carry you all?"

Old Liu walked outside the yard, intending to yell at his grandchildren, but when he saw little Ayu's rosy cheeks from playing, he changed his mind.

"All you do is play around all day. Put your things down and let's go." He put his hands behind his back and walked out the door first.

Madam Qin said, "You all go ahead. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go. Tell me when you get back if anything comes up."

Liu was a little worried: "What does the village chief want with us? If we are delayed for too long, it will be dark by the time we get back to Hujia Village."

Hearing that they were leaving, Liu Dashi hurriedly said, "Little sister, why don't you stay at home for a couple more days? We can prepare another room for you to stay in."

Madam Yang also said, "Yes, I've already discussed it with my second sister-in-law. We'll tidy up the side room so you can stay there tonight."

"I still have a lot of things to do at home, so I can't stay for too long," Liu said with an apologetic smile.

Wang Chuanman also said, "Before we left, my mother told us to get home before dark."

Upon recalling the rumored Old Mrs. Wang, the Liu family fell silent.

That was the legendary old hag who tormented her daughter-in-law to death!
Disappointment flashed in Qin's eyes. Although she really wanted her daughter to stay for a couple more days, she didn't insist.

Of course, she couldn't make things difficult for her daughter.

The group went to the village chief's house, but it was for the person who had fallen into the water.

It turns out that the person also had connections with Shanyang Village.

At that time, she was pregnant with her third child. Because the pregnancy was not going well, she was bedridden and unaware of what was happening outside.

The husband lied to her, saying the meat they exchanged was from hunting. It wasn't until later, when the truth came out in Hujia Village, that her husband, who was also involved, was poisoned by snake venom.

The people of Shanyang Village dared not report her to the authorities, nor did they dare to deal with her directly. They could only send her back to her parents' home and tell the outside world that she had gone mad and that they had divorced her.

The villagers down the mountain only knew that she had gone mad and been divorced, but they didn't know why. When they arrived at the village chief's house, an elderly woman with gray hair saw Old Man Liu and his companions and hurriedly asked, "They said you saved Xiaomei, is that right?"

Before Old Man Liu could speak, Gou Tou interjected, "Yes, it was Sister A Yu who reminded us."

After the old woman found out who Ayu was, she knelt down before little Ayu without thinking.

Little Ayu was confused and didn't know what was going on, but Liu pulled her away, and her elder sister-in-law Yang and second sister-in-law Li held the old woman back.

"My poor Xiaomei! A perfectly healthy person, and she's gone mad like this. Now she's even jumped into the well! If you hadn't seen it, she would be dead, and I wouldn't be alive either!" The old woman's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrollably.

She kept reminiscing about how well-behaved her daughter used to be, while also saying that if her daughter died, she wouldn't be able to live either, clearly having suffered a great shock.

Little Ayu felt sorry for the old lady, so she rummaged through her little pocket and found a bright red fruit.

She carefully moved to the old lady's side and handed her the fruit, saying, "Grandma, don't be sad. Here's some red fruit for you."

The old woman stopped crying and saw Xiao Ayu holding up red fruit. She suddenly remembered that many years ago, her daughter had picked fruit for her on the mountain.

She said with a smile, "Mom, these are fruits that Xiaomei picked especially for you. They're definitely the sweetest of the sweetest!"

But now, her well-behaved daughter has gone mad and almost died!

She truly hated it, but didn't know who to hate.

But seeing Xiao Ayu, her heart, which was on the verge of collapse, was miraculously soothed.

"Your name is Ayu, you're a good child, a good child," the old woman murmured, pushing little Ayu's hand back, "You eat, Grandma doesn't eat."

At this moment, Xiaomei's other family members had already brought a small amount of food from their home and stuffed it into the hands of Liu and Wang Chuanman.

"This is our thank-you gift. It's not much, but we hope you won't mind!"

As for Chunsheng, who saved people, they also gave him a lot of extra things.

Xiaomei's family is truly grateful to them; if it weren't for them, Xiaomei would probably be dead by now.

Xiaomei was the youngest daughter of Wu Laosan's family. No matter how much he disliked his daughter, he couldn't bear to part with her.

【Honey, you've triggered a temporary rescue mission!】

Xiao Ayu suddenly heard this and blurted out "Ah!" without realizing it.

"What's wrong?" Unable to argue with the other party, Liu could only put the things away. Hearing Xiao Ayu's voice, she quickly lowered her head and asked her.

"It's alright, Mother," Little Ayu quickly waved her little hand.

After doing it many times, she became quite skilled at it.

He asked himself again, "Elf, what kind of quest is it?"

[When that old lady approached you, there was a transfer of loving energy, which triggered the rescue mission.]

[You'll receive a generous reward of Love Energy simply by helping that old lady save her daughter!]

"Oh, how can I help?" Little Ayu didn't care about any reward, but she really enjoyed helping others.

Do you remember that giveaway item from before?
