Chapter 189 Scolding

After Niuniu finished her meal, Zhang Yunniang packed up her things and asked the doctor to take her daughter's pulse again before leaving. After making sure that her daughter was fine, she took Niuniu and Gu Zhao away with many thanks.

Gu Mingda stayed and continued to take care of Xie Xingchuan.

"You can go back. You must want to be with your child." Xie Xingchuan suddenly said.

Gu Mingda had noticed something wrong with the child before. The child was strong-willed. When he was injured, his father did not stay to take care of him. Instead, he let strangers like them escort him back to Beijing to recuperate. Gu Mingda guessed that Xie Xingchuan probably wanted his family to accompany him.

Gu Mingda did not show his inner sympathy, but said, "If I go back now, it will embarrass my wife."

Xie Xingchuan looked puzzled.

Gu Mingda explained: "The little girl did something wrong, her mother would probably scold her. I was next to her, and when I saw the child looking so pitiful, I probably couldn't help but want to smooth things over."

Zhang Yunniang had been suppressing her emotions before, thinking that her daughter had just woken up, and was afraid that she couldn't stand the scolding.

But now that the doctor said the child was fine, when they returned to their own room, Zhang Yunniang handed Gu Zhao to Old Lady Gu, and turned to Niuniu with a sullen face.

Niuniu also knew why her mother was angry, and lowered her head: "It's all my fault, I'm sorry."

Zhang Yunniang's tears fell again, and after wiping them hard, she said: "You almost scared me to death, did you know?"

Three days ago, when facing the pirates, the situation turned so quickly, and Niuniu fell into a coma for no reason. The daughter was still in a coma and fell into life and death several times. Zhang Yunniang and Gu Mingda could naturally be sure that their daughter had used her special ability.

Even Old Lady Gu and Old Father Gu vaguely sensed something.

"You are not a good kid at all!"

This is the first time Zhang Yunniang has scolded her daughter after adopting Niu Niu for so long.

Niu Niu pouted and was about to cry.

Zhang Yunniang felt very uncomfortable when she saw her daughter was about to cry. She was thinking whether she had said too harshly just now. Her daughter had just recovered from a serious illness. Could she bear such a harsh scolding? Should she wait a few more days...

But if she waited a few more days, she was afraid that her daughter would not learn her lesson and would do it again next time.

Zhang Yunniang's mind was like a tangled mess. She couldn't find the end of the thread after struggling for a long time.

But Niu Niu was one step ahead of her. The little girl threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom, isn't it good now? Everyone is fine, Niu Niu is fine too, we are all fine."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunniang lifted her daughter's sleeves to reveal the location of the birthmark on her wrist.

"I remember your birthmark when I first adopted you. It was light red. Later, when I gave you a bath, I saw that the color got darker and darker. How about now?"

Niuniu lowered her head and saw the fish birthmark on her right arm. Now the color is so light that it is almost the same as the skin color. There is only a little red at the edge, which makes people barely see that it was once a fish-shaped birthmark.

"Its color will slowly turn red, mother, I will be fine." Niuniu said guiltily.

The little girl herself did not know what her ability was. Now she said this just to comfort her mother.

Zhang Yunniang sighed and said, "My dear, you may have a great origin, and you may do something extraordinary in the future. Your father and I are just ordinary people. We can't help you a lot, and we don't want to hold you back."

Zhang Yunniang sometimes thought that Niuniu might be the reincarnation of a god. With such an origin, coming to the world is like going through a catastrophe, and she will definitely experience many twists and turns in the future.

What she and Gu Mingda feared most was that Niuniu's special power might be used less and less each time. Now it's all used up. What if her daughter doesn't have enough power when she needs it in the future?

Niuniu raised her little face, and her clear eyes were full of Zhang Yunniang's reflection.

"But for Niuniu, you have never been a hindrance. You are everything to me."

Zhang Yunniang felt sad. She always told herself that raising a child requires rewards, and she can't be a person who doesn't ask for rewards. But when her daughter really uses her special power to repay her, she is only full of worries about her daughter.

"My dear, everyone has their own destiny. If you are really killed by pirates, it is also our destiny. Don't force it. Just live well." Zhang Yunniang looked calm.

Niuniu shook her head vigorously: "That's not your life. If you are gone, Niuniu can't live well."

Zhang Yunniang didn't know what to say for a while, but she couldn't suck her daughter's blood calmly.

Niu Niu stuttered, "You all say I have special abilities... Maybe this ability... is to protect mom... protect everyone... Our family is fine... Niu Niu is very happy."

Zhang Yunniang was stunned.

"Niu Niu, you are already very good and well-behaved. Protecting your family should be the job of adults. You are a child, and taking care of yourself is already very impressive." Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked, "Mom, if you were me, would you not save dad?"

Zhang Yunniang naturally couldn't just watch him die.

Niu Niu continued, "Niu Niu doesn't want anything else. Niu Niu just wants everyone to be fine. Niu Niu's wish is very small."

Zhang Yunniang had no way to deal with her daughter.

She sighed, thinking that she was the one who forced her daughter to give up her family.

Zhang Yunniang said helplessly, "My dear, promise me that you will never make a wish casually in the future."

Just after saying this, Zhang Yunniang was stunned. It seemed that she had said this to her daughter more than once.

Niuniu also smiled sweetly and nodded like she had done countless times in the past: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhang Yunniang glanced at her daughter with a grudge.

Niuniu turned and asked: "Mom, where are Brother Xie's family members? Should we let him go to Beijing with us?"

Zhang Yunniang sighed and explained: "Your brother Xie's father, General Xie, is the deputy commander of the Navy Camp. The court issued an official document some time ago, requiring the Navy to eliminate the pirates along the way to Beijing. General Xie is busy with official business, so he entrusted this matter to us."

That day, they were unlucky. Every time the pirate village changed its owner, one or two major events would always be done to let the passing ships know that the filial piety had to be paid by someone else.

The major event of Wuyazhai happened to be held on their ship.

Although the head shopkeeper was gone, most of the boatmen were retained. Most of the guests on the ship were safe. They were still in a hurry to go to Beijing, so the boat continued to set off for Beijing after cleaning.

While the mother and daughter were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"We agreed to double the silver, are you guys trying to cheat?"

"What are you trying to cheat about? We didn't cheat, but you didn't do anything either. The people who really protected us were the navy! What does it have to do with you?"
