Capítulo 618: Chapter 618 Be Careful
“Truth be told, I’m not very clear about it either!”
Granny didn’t lie, she genuinely didn’t know.
Because although she was at the scene, it was Granny Tang who took the child out for burial.
“Don’t you know that Tang Wanqiu didn’t die?”
Tang Chuxia didn’t believe her grandmother knew nothing.
Granny sighed.
So things ultimately can’t be concealed.
“Yes, I knew she wasn’t dead, but I didn’t know whether she could survive!”
Back then, the old Taoist and the others all thought the little girl would definitely not survive, and they had transferred the Divine Power to Tang Chuxia.
Given the circumstances at that ti, it was best for Granny Tang to take the child away for burial.
This was also considered a custom.
A child who dies just after birth should not have a grave or be worshipped but should be well sent off for reincarnation.
“Was the child taken away before she stopped breathing?”
Tang Chuxia asked curiously.
Granny shook her head: “How could that be, of course it’s because the child was already in a dire state, hanging onto her final breath, before the Divine Power was transferred to you!”
They did it in a desperate attempt to save that child’s life.
“They said it was to avoid wasting the Divine Power, but who didn’t know the situation at that ti? The old Taoist said it was possible to transfer it in order to save her life!”
Granny stroked Tang Chuxia’s hair.
“Good child, your sister was unfortunate. Under those circumstances, we could only risk letting you bear it!”
Two children, both dear to one’s heart.
How could Madam Tang give up on either?
But she had no choice, compared to the child who was nearly dead, the healthier body must bear more.
This might just be the most imbalanced form of maternal love.
“Don’t bla your mother, she had no choice either!”
Granny, worried Tang Chuxia might overthink, gave a gentle reminder.
Tang Chuxia shook her head: “I don’t bla her. If I were in her place, my choice might not have been any better.”
That was the truth.
Granny humd in agreent: “It’s a pity that the result was still not good. Your sister’s life couldn’t be saved, and your grandma said we needed to take the child away and try the old thods of our ancestral ho. If it didn’t work, then so be it!”
Attempting the impossible in desperation.
In those circumstances.
That was really all they could do.
After Granny finished speaking, Tang Chuxia didn’t know what to say.
Regrettably, the elder couple of Tang Family were all gone now.
Even if she wanted to find soone to ask more, it was impossible.
Tang Chuxia leaned on Granny’s leg.
“Granny, my sister is still alive, but I always feel sothing off about her. It’s not her physique that’s wrong, it’s her manner!”
She didn’t want to speak of soone in this way, but considering that person was her own sister by blood.
How could she just ignore it?
And she had a feeling.
That her ability to co to this place was intricately linked to this sister.
Granny also agreed: “Your sister really is odd!”
She too was affectionate towards children.
But concerning Tang Wanqiu, although she knew how much that child had suffered, she ultimately couldn’t feel the sa affection for her as she did for Tang Chuxia.
Maybe this was just the nature of human connections.
Having confird Granny really didn’t know what followed, Tang Chuxia left Granny’s place and still chose to visit Second Grandma.
She didn’t think Second Grandma would be clueless.
As the wisest old lady in the Tang Family, Second Grandma surely knew many of the Tang Family’s hidden matters.
And before she had even gone to Tang Village, once she got back ho she heard that Tang Daqing and his mother had co over.
Tang Chuxia imdiately ran over to greet them.
Tang Daqing’s mother was very happy to see Tang Chuxia.
She kept holding Tang Chuxia’s hand, reminiscing about how Tang Chuxia hadn’t stayed longer during her last visit to Tang Village and had not taken the tasty treats she had prepared.
This ti, they had co to bring Tang Chuxia so fruits and vegetables from their garden, along with a lot of dried sweet potatoes.
“Auntie, have you seen my sister?”
Tang Chuxia nibbled on the freshly made dried sweet potatoes.
These dried sweet potatoes, made through triple steaming and triple drying, were especially chewy and springy.
Tang Chuxia nibbled with sheer joy.
Tang Daqing’s mother nodded.
“Of course, I’ve seen her, and you really do look alike!”
The auntie was a straightforward person and quietly said to Tang Chuxia, “Your mom seems to really cherish that child. You’re not feeling uncomfortable, are you?”
Tang Chuxia shook her head. “After all, she hasn’t been around for many years. It’s normal for my mom to spend more ti with her!”
Anyone would understand that.
But the auntie felt a bit sorry for Tang Chuxia.
“You, my child, may appear carefree but you’re truly kind-hearted!”
Tang Chuxia thought the auntie’s statent was a little off but couldn’t figure out how to object.
“By the way, when I ca over this ti, your Second Grandma told to pass on a ssage to you!”
Tang Daqing’s mother whispered into Tang Chuxia’s ear, “Second Grandma said to be careful!”
Tang Chuxia raised an eyebrow.
She didn’t think of Second Grandma as soone who worried unnecessarily.
The fact that the auntie was sent to warn her indicated that sothing was seriously wrong.
“How has Second Grandma been feeling lately?”
Although she had just returned from Tang Village, she always felt that Second Grandma must be unwell, or else she would have co by herself.
The auntie sighed.
“Recently, Second Grandma got sick. She caught a cold!”
But to catch a cold in this weather?
Tang Chuxia didn’t believe it.
She suspected that Second Grandma must be having health issues.
“Is soone taking care of her?”
Second Grandma had children.
But the children were not around.
“Yes, everyone in the village is looking after her!”
Second Grandma was indeed the backbone of the Tang Family in Tang Village; no one wanted her to co to harm.
Tang Chuxia was then reassured.
By the ti she finished nibbling a piece of dried sweet potato, she heard the auntie say, “Good child, there’s another favor I need to ask during this visit!”
Tang Chuxia was puzzled.
Then the auntie inford her, “Your brother Daqing got engaged, and he wants to buy sothing for your future sister-in-law. You know where to find good items back ho; he wants you to help pick sothing!”
Tang Chuxia imdiately responded, “That’s wonderful news! I have various tickets on hand that I can’t use. I’ll give them to you in a while; take a look and see what you need!”
The auntie didn’t hesitate with Tang Chuxia.
After all, marrying a daughter-in-law was a significant event.
They didn’t want the new daughter-in-law to feel uneasy.
After agreeing on this,
Tang Chuxia went to fetch many tickets for the auntie and even took out a pair of Seagull brand watches to pass to her.
“These watches, I bought them earlier, have never worn them, and they would be perfect as a congratulatory gift for Daqing and his future wife!”
The auntie tried to decline several tis, but after Tang Chuxia ntioned that she would not visit her house in Tang Village in the future, the auntie reluctantly accepted them.
Throughout the years, the auntie had been very kind to their family; one must not only take without giving.
After seeing off the auntie and Tang Daqing, Gu Beihuai returned, seeing Tang Chuxia sitting at the doorway, holding a handful of grains, feeding the pigeons that had landed.
“Are you planning to raise pigeons or trying to catch pigeons?”
