Chapter 54 - Be someone she likes

"Poisoning? Obesity? Hahaha!" Qian Wanjin couldn't restrain his laugh anymore. "Blessed Baby, are you kidding me?"

"I'm young so you don't believe me. Consult a doctor yourself. There's always someone who can diagnose it." After a pause, Liu Yusheng said, "I don't know the circumstances in your home, but it's best not to spread a word about this. Whoever gave you this disgusting poison that doesn't kill you instantly must be after something. It's even possible that it's someone close to you. Since you're the young master of your family, you should know many things better than me. That's all, I've done everything called for by humanity and duty."

When she'd slapped away his hand tugging on her pigtail yesterday and her fingers accidentally pressed his pulse, she sensed something wrong.

Today, probing his pulse confirmed her suspicions.

She has already said her part. Whether Qian Wanjin believed her or not was beyond her control.

Qian Wanjin's entire expression darkened. He stared at Liu Yusheng for a while, turned around and got into the carriage, "Da Huang, go back to the capital!"

Sitting in the carriage, Qian Wanjin's eyes were extremely cold.

It was true that he hadn't believed a word from the little girl in the beginning, but when she said that he wouldn't live past 15 with certainty, he began to believe her.

In the Qian family, once the first son has reached the age of 15 and gotten married to the woman the family had engaged him to, he would start obtaining inheritance rights, and the family would hand over the main business and connections to the successor.

In his generation, he was the sole legitimate son of the Qian family.

If he died before he reached 15… huh, the people behind it not only wanted him dead, but also wanted to cut him off from burning incense to his ancestors, with no more chances of succeeding the family!

Rich and powerful families have never been short of shameful affairs, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to him one day.

He regarded himself as infallible, thinking that no one would ever dare to put his hands on him given his grandparents and his father's doting protection.

"Young Master, what did you just talk about with Liu's granddaughter?" Da Huang sat in the carriage with him, and after enduring the low pressure for a while, he finally managed to ask.

Qian Wanjin looked out of the window, and after a moment, the darkness in his eyes faded. The corners of his mouth stretched into a seemingly innocuous smile. "Da Huang, do you think there's really a Blessed Baby in this world, the kind that can bring good fortune to others?"

Da Huang laughed. Is the Young Master possessed? Is he starting to believe in this kind of fraudulent stuff? "I think this is a sort of unreliable thing that gets passed around. If there really were Blessed Babies, the world would be in chaos. Those with power and influence, wouldn't they want to kidnap him?"

"…You're right. There's no one in this world who can bring blessings to others. It depends on one's luck to meet such a person by chance."

After Qian Wanjin left, the Liu family was busy almost every day.

Even though the news had spread throughout the village and the village chief, Liu Jinfu, had told them all the details, the villagers still couldn't help but seek the door, and repeatedly confirm from the Liu family and thank them endlessly.

In just a few days, several baskets were piled up just for the eggs delivered by the villagers.

In addition, there were those who sent food, home-baked cookies, and even firewood.

In their own way, they expressed their joy and gratitude.

The winery in Xinghua Village would be hiring workers.

For the people of Xinghua Village, this was giving them another doorway to support their families.

And this doorway was from the Liu family, brought to them by the Blessed Baby, Liu Yusheng.

As a result, every time Liu Yusheng went up the cabin, she would receive small treats specially thrust into her hands by each family along the way.

Or a boiled egg, a small candy bar, a small handful of wild berries.

By the time she reached the cabin, her pockets were full.

The villagers warned their children behind doors to never bully Nannan at any time. Whoever dared to treat her badly would receive punishment back home.

Liu Yusheng pulled an egg out of her pocket and handed it to Axiu, while stuffing a candy into her own mouth, heaving a sigh and pulling a sanctimonious face. "Brother Axiu, I've almost become a village treasure now, it's troubling. In the past, I used to be able to joke around with other kids, but now people don't dare to come too close to me for fear that I might bump into something and make them take the blame. I feel like I'm isolated, really."

Axiu smiled gently, "Shengsheng forgot, you still have me."

It's enough to have me.

He carefully shelled the egg shell and fed it to the baby's mouth.

Liu Yusheng quickly swallowed the crushed sugar in her mouth, then bit into the egg, pushing the remaining half back, "Brother Axiu, eat some too."

When there was a treat, he always saved it for her to eat.

Eventually, she came up with this idea. She would eat half and he would eat the other half.

Under the girl's eager eyes, Axiu slowly ate the other half of the egg.

Shengsheng felt sorry for him.

"Brother Axiu, do you know? Recently, a lot of uncles and aunts in the village have come to ask me if I can take their babies to the hut too so we could learn how to read and write from you together."

"Huh?" Axiu paused and looked up at the little baby.

But he saw her resting her cheeks in her hands, smiling with her big brimming with teasing.

It was clear she was teasing him, so he feigned ignorance, and went along with her intention, acting with her, "Why?"

"Because I became smart and polite since I started learning to read with you!"

"Do you want me to teach them?"

Liu Yusheng shook her head, "Forget it, I know you don't like noise. If they really want to learn, they will just have to learn from me. I'm your best student!"

"Yes, Shengsheng is the best student." He laughed, and she would be his only student.

"Brother Axiu, you're so smart and so educated. Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? What kind of person are you going to be?"

Axiu went silent for a moment, gazing at the little child, and said "Shengsheng, what kind of person do you like?"

"Me?" Liu Yushen was taken aback, but thought about it seriously. "I like… gentle people who can warm others, learned, gentle, kind and humble, and know when to advance and retreat."

"Okay." He stroked her hair and smiled faintly.

"What okay?" The baby asked dully.

He smiled without saying anything.

Okay.

He'd be what she likes.

Qian Wanjin left, after which he never came to the Xinghua Village again.

Only the construction team he hired came to the village and the only thing the messenger said was that the Liu family's Liu Yusheng would supervise all matters related to the winery.

Liu Yusheng didn't ask much about Qian Wanjin's whereabouts. If Qian Wanjin took their conversation before he left last time to heart, she was sure that he was bound to make a move afterwards.

In the short term, he won't come back.

Seeing the vacant land by the Qinghe River, taking shape little by little, the Xinghua Villagers were overflowing with hope every day.

In contrast, the Xiapo Village continued to be in the doldrums.

The village chief, An Cai, has been squatting at home for several days now, his face gloomy.

There was also a group of villagers gathered in the hall looking indignant.

"Village Chief, we have to do something. We can't just let Xinghua Village get up like this, or we really won't have a foothold in the future!"
