Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5820 The Old Man's Doubts

Will the child meet the "uncle" she's talking about outside?
still is……

The child only sees the uncle she talks about at the grocery store?
The kids don't come to the grocery store anymore...
The child will never see the uncle she was talking about...

……

This is the best possible outcome.

The old man reluctantly accepted that it was indeed his grocery store that clashed with the child's aura.

……

if….
The child met the uncle she had mentioned outside...

That would be bad.

……

Not everyone who sees a child behaving abnormally will have good intentions.

They believe this is just a child's innocent and carefree behavior.

Instead of thinking the child is possessed or has a mental problem...

……

Once identified as the latter...

The child... will be in big trouble.

....
The elderly person did not want the child to encounter such trouble.

That's no small problem.

But what if it's not handled properly...

It could very well ruin the child's life.

……

It must be said that the young man's performance put the old man at ease.

……

"uncle?"

The child became slightly uneasy and uncomfortable.

She unconsciously shrank back behind the glass water tank.

Why did her uncle ignore her?
uncle……

……

The child's eyes were a little red.

She felt a little wronged, a little lost, and a little embarrassed...

She pursed her lips tightly.

The silence further aggravated these emotions in the child.

She tried to open her mouth.

Like a fish that has come ashore, it frantically opens and closes its mouth.

Finally, a sound was made.

"...You...saved me before..."

“Thank you…”

"I want to thank you..."

The child swallowed hard.

"...I...every time I come here, you're looking at the goldfish..."

"I thought you really liked goldfish..."

"I just wanted to catch a little goldfish and give it to you..."

But she's useless.

I failed many times.

A long time has passed.

Sometimes she wondered why the thank-you gift had arrived so late...

Is it really necessary?
But the next time, the child still went to the grocery store and took the three fishing nets the old man gave her.

He is increasingly accepting his failures with a sense of "calmness".

She wanted to give the goldfish to her uncle as a gift to thank him for saving her.

Every time I come over, I see my uncle's focused and serious expression as he watches the goldfish in the basin...
Her resolve strengthened.

That's why she was able to muster so much courage today...

She asked a stranger, an older brother, to help her catch goldfish at the general store.

……

The older brother is really amazing.

It was an easy success.

She even began to doubt all those past failures...

Am I really that stupid?

……

never mind.

Because there were three very beautiful little goldfish in the glass tank she was holding.

These are the little goldfish she carefully selected.

She struggled to lift the glass water tank from her arms.

She even tried to stand on her tiptoes.

She was so happy...

After so many failures, she finally succeeded...

Even if she didn't succeed on her own.

But she succeeded.

There are goldfish in her glass tank.

She was overjoyed.

She was so excited and thrilled.

She even proudly held up the glass water tank for her uncle to see.

Look.

It's a goldfish.

Still three.

She didn't lie.

She did what she said she would do.

She actually scooped the goldfish out of the basin.

……

She thought...

She will get what she's known her uncle for so long...

A different response.

...At least, my uncle must have responded.

Instead of like now...

It seemed like she was the only one performing a solo act.

The uncle was still squatting on the ground, looking at the little goldfish in the basin of water.

……

uncle……

Why ignore her?

uncle……

The child's eyes welled up with tears.

She's worked so hard for so long...
She thought she had finally succeeded...

result……

Why is it so different from what she expected...?

……

What is she thinking?
The child doesn't know either.

But it's definitely not like it is now.

.......
The old man was taken aback by the change in the child's expression.

That's it……

Logically speaking, the uncle the child met was someone he had imagined.

It should have been done entirely according to his own plan.

Such a person...

How could one refuse to create their own master?

Children wouldn't imagine things that way or want to make themselves suffer...

Look at how wronged the child looks now...

……

Rather...

It seems that this uncle did just that?
This kind of behavior is nothing like the person a child imagines...

Instead, it behaved much like a normal person.

……

Is the child thinking this meticulously?

The old man found it hard to believe.

.....
The elderly man felt some difficulty breathing.

He slowly and forcefully exhaled.

This kid...

what is the problem?

Why would you imagine such an...uncle?
He thought...
The child has a fantasy...

Perhaps the child was too lonely and wanted someone to keep her company...

Although he didn't understand why the child didn't fantasize about having someone her age come out to accompany her and play with her...

Instead, it's a figment of imagination about an adult.

Not an adult woman.

It is an adult male.

That's all he could think of...

Children need strong protection...

……

Was the child bullied...?

The old man was a little worried.

After all, he was such a shy and timid child.

He had only subtly inquired about the child...

There was no negative feedback.

The child's behavior put his mind at ease.

He felt he was overthinking things.

As for why the child imagined an adult male...

The child must have his own reasons.

……

At this moment, looking at the child's appearance, the old man's doubts resurfaced.

It's really weird.

What could be the reason that a child would imagine such an adult male?
……

Save the children?

The old man frowned.

The child said it himself...

This uncle saved her.

So she wanted to thank her uncle.

My uncle likes goldfish.

She wanted to give the goldfish to her uncle.

……

Speaking of which…

The old man suddenly realized why the child was so obsessed with the goldfish in the grocery store.

Because a child isn't someone who would have the courage to come to the grocery store after failing so many times.

It's okay.

But children are naturally inclined to care.

Very concerned.

I would feel very embarrassed...

……

The old man initially thought it was the child's obsession with goldfish that gave him the courage to come to the grocery store time and time again.

Now it seems...
A large part of the reason was that the child wanted to give the goldfish to his uncle as a gift to thank him for saving him…
Because there is a goal that must be achieved, there is a constant stream of courage that flows out and supports the child to do things that she could not have done otherwise.

……

Ok.

The logic is very smooth.

The old woman was somewhat annoyed that she hadn't seen what really happened when the child claimed that her uncle had saved her.

If he saw it...
