《Reborn As A Blessed Child》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chloe Jones was awakened by a loud noise. ¡°Sophia, ever since you gave birth to your daughter, the Brown family hasn¡¯t even looked at you. Don¡¯t you understand? You can¡¯t have this child.¡± ¡°Sob, sob, mom, what should I do now? Why am I so unlucky to have a girl?¡± ¡°Mom won¡¯t harm you. Right now, you can only have one child. If you can¡¯t have one, you¡¯ll benefit other women. Either way, the Brown family will definitely want a boy.¡± Unlucky to have a girl? Only one child? The baffling words entered her ears. Chloe opened her mouth to ask, but she could only let out a slight whimper. ¡°What are you crying for, you unlucky child?!¡± The middle-aged woman spat fiercely. This time, Chloe finally understood that she, who had been struck by lightning, had actually become a little baby who could not speak. Opening her eyes, she wanted to see this strange world, but she found that her vision was blurry. She had heard that it would take some time before one could see clearly after one was born, but she did not expect it to be true. She had heard from her master that the babies had Innate Qi. If she could cultivate with it, she would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Chloe closed her eyes to attract more Spiritual Qi into her body, but she realized that the Spiritual Qi in this world was ridiculously thin. She sighed in her heart and could only try her best to use the Innate Qi in the fetus to open up her meridians. ¡°I¡¯ve already asked around. The woman sitting on the chair outside can¡¯t give birth to a child. If you give the child to them, they will definitely take her.¡± The young woman said hesitantly, ¡°But they look like they came from the countryside. Their clothes are even patched. If the child were to be sent over¡­¡± ¡°Silly girl, that¡¯s good. There¡¯s a big gap between us and this kind of poor countryside. This child will never come back and be an eyesore to us for the rest of her life.¡± ¡°Ever since you got pregnant, Liam Wilson¡¯s official position has been getting higher. For the sake of future wealth, we have to throw this child away.¡± The young woman finally nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Chloe shuddered. Knowing that she was about to be abandoned, she immediately let out a heart-wrenching cry. Although she had been called a loser in her previous life, her master said that her ability to change luck was the most invincible existence in the cultivation world. Moreover, she had checked not long ago and found that her natural fortune was still there. Why would she be given away? The two women obviously did not know what Chloe was thinking. The older one was annoyed and pinched the baby¡¯s face with her hand. A horrible red mark was immediately left on the smooth and tender skin. ¡°All you can do is cry! If it weren¡¯t for the fear of retribution, I would have drowned you in the pond behind the hospital and reported you as a dead baby.¡± Chloe immediately felt pain and did not dare to use her cries to gain sympathy. She could feel that the aura radiating from this woman made her very uncomfortable. Growing up in such a family was probably not a good thing. As such, Chloe obediently closed her eyes and allowed the middle-aged woman to throw her onto the bench at the end of the corridor. Hazel Smith lay on the hospital bench. The doctor¡¯s words appeared in her mind as she covered her face and sobbed softly. Why was her life so hard? When she was young, she was tortured by her stepmother. She worked hard at home and became like an old lady. It was not easy for her to marry Issac Jones. Although the Jones family was poor, the two of them could be considered to be in love. Initially, they thought that the bitterness would come to an end. Who knew that after a few years, there was no news about pregnancy. Her mother-in-law saved up for more than half a year to have Issac bring her to the hospital for a look. With one look, he found out that she was unable to give birth. This time, Hazel even had the intention to jump into the river. What kind of sin had she committed in her past life? Why was her life so miserable? ¡°Wah!¡± the baby¡¯s cry suddenly entered her ears. Hazel suddenly straightened up, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. Looking around, she saw a small package under the chair. ¡°This is¡­ a child?¡± Zhang Ying looked at the baby in disbelief, suspecting that this was a joke played by the heavens for her. When Issac rushed over with a steaming cup of water, he saw Hazel stiffly holding a package, not moving for a long time. ¡°Where did this child come from? Hazel, we can¡¯t do something immoral!¡± Issac was afraid that his wife would be provoked and do something irreparable. ¡°No, this is not what other people wanted. It¡¯s a girl.¡± Zhang Ying pointed to him. There was a note in the swaddling clothes. She could not read the words, but the number below it was known. It was the child¡¯s birthday. Issac had learned some words from his mother before. He picked it up and read it. On the note, it was clearly written that the child was given to the fated person. It was really an abandoned baby. ¡°Issac, let¡¯s raise this child. The heavens pitied me and gave it to me.¡± Hazel looked up at her man expectantly. Issac¡¯s face stiffened. As the eldest son, he was very clear about the situation at home. The money used to come to the hospital this day was gathered by his mother after a long time. How could he have the money to raise another child? Especially if it was a girl. However, when he met Hazel¡¯s tearful eyes, he could only grit his teeth and utter an ¡®mhmm¡¯. It could be said that this child was not blessed.. Since she could not enter a good family, she could only suffer and suffer along with them. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Issac? What are you two carrying? Why are you covering it so tightly?¡± ¡°You picked up a baby? A girl? Sigh, what¡¯s the use of picking up a girl to go home?¡± Issac and Hazel met many villagers on their way back to the village. Everyone was curious about how the couple picked up a baby when they went to the county town to see a doctor. Once they heard that it was a girl, their expressions immediately changed from surprise to sympathy and disdain. At that time, girls were not worth much, especially after the country only allowed one child. The corpse of a baby girl would often float in the river behind the village. There were also people who strangled the baby girl to death and buried her in the ground. Then, their family members would step on her so that the girl behind them would not dare to reincarnate into their own home. The Jones family was originally a poor family in the village. Issac must be out of his mind to bring back a girl. Leafa Village was not big, so the news quickly spread throughout the village. The sound of ridicule and criticism never stopped. When the couple was about to reach home, Amelia Taylor, who had already received the news, was waiting at the door. Seeing her mother-in-law¡¯s figure from afar, Hazel¡¯s hand that was holding the child tightened, wishing that she could curl up into a ball. Their neighbor, Henry William¡¯s wife deliberately smiled and said, ¡°Yo, Mrs. Jones, what treasure are you holding in your arms? Let¡¯s see.¡± Amelia glared at her fiercely and replied swiftly, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Go back to your room and stay there.¡± Henry¡¯s wife shrunk her neck resentfully. She dared to mock Hazel, but she did not dare to provoke Amelia. This old widow was very fierce. She had always been the best at fighting and scolding people in the village. Even two of her could not even defeat Amelia. ¡®Hmmph, I heard that she used to be the daughter of some rich family. How did she develop such a temper?¡¯ The woman laughed gloatingly again. This day, Hazel brought back a girl, and Amelia would definitely rip off her scalp. As they got closer and closer to home, Hazel¡¯s back collapsed bit by bit, and her shoulders trembled non-stop. Seeing this, Issac sighed and stood in front of Hazel. ¡°Mom, Hazel and I brought a child home.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Amalia was not as furious as Henry¡¯s wife thought. She responded calmly and turned to walk into the house. Seeing that there was nothing to see, Henry¡¯s wife pressed her lips together and reluctantly went back into the house. ¡°Tell me, what happened?¡± Amalia stared at the couple. Hazel lowered her head and told her Amelia about it softly. She was afraid of her mother-in-law. It was not because Amelia was as fierce as the villagers said. On the contrary, her mother-in-law had never laid a finger on her ever since she married into the village. She had never said anything harsh. However, she had always felt that this mother-in-law was not an ordinary person. She was even more powerful than the mothers-in-law in the village who were torturing their daughters-in-law. Therefore, she had always been respectful when she spoke and never dared to say anything. After hearing Hazel¡¯s words, Amelia¡¯s face darkened. ¡°You only know that this child is unwanted? What if someone turns the tables and says that you stole the child?¡± Yue Jiandong hurriedly explained, ¡°We waited for a long time at the hospital and also asked the nurses. They all said that there were no pregnant women who lost the child, so we brought the child back.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look at the situation at home? The second daughter-in-law has just given birth and is already nervous. You even brought back another mouth to feed. Do you think that the family is too rich?!¡± Issac and his wife lowered their heads as they were reprimanded, not daring to say a word. Chloe, who was in her swaddling clothes, saw that the situation was not looking good. Along the way, she had already experienced how this world valued boys over girls. She was afraid of being abandoned again, so she started to cry at the top of her voice. Chloe had not been properly fed since birth, so her cry was very weak, like a sobbing kitten. Amelia frowned and looked out. The redness on the child¡¯s body had faded, so she looked white and tender. Her unopened eyes were like black grapes, with a few drops of water hanging from them. Her little red mouth was slightly open, moving. Hazel begged her mother-in-law, ¡°Mother, this child is very obedient. She has never cried or made a fuss all the way here. She will even snort softly when she wants to pee. Please keep her here.¡± Amelia¡¯s expression was cold and hard. She did not say anything. Hazel saw Amelia¡¯s expressionless face and exploded, ¡°Mother, the doctor said that I can¡¯t have a child. I beg of you, please let me take care of her.¡± Issac was shocked. ¡°Hazel! What are you talking about?¡± He hurriedly knelt down. ¡°Mother, it¡¯s me. It¡¯s me who can¡¯t have a child. It¡¯s not Hazel¡¯s problem.¡± Hazel immediately knelt down beside him and hugged the child tightly. ¡°Mother, let¡¯s keep this child.¡± Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Amelia rolled her eyes. ¡°Alright, I didn¡¯t say that you can¡¯t keep her. Get the hell up.¡± The two of them looked at each other and then stood up with a sigh of relief. Hazel fawningly carried the child to Amelia. ¡°Mother, please give the child a name.¡± Amelia took it in exasperation. Chloe could not see her clearly, so she sniffed Amelia like a puppy. Hmm¡­ she was a good person. Chloe was relieved. She would not be thrown out again. ¡°Let¡¯s call her Chloe.¡± Chloe clapped her hands excitedly. This name was good. It was exactly the same as the name her master had given her in her previous life. Issac said in a surprised tone, ¡°Mother, look at her. She seems to be smiling. She must like the name mother gave her.¡± Amelia could not help but feel soft-hearted when she saw her innocent appearance. ¡°Let your siblings nurse this child first. Now that you have a child, you have to take up the responsibility of being a parent in the future.¡± The two of them nodded their heads vigorously. Amelia carried Chloe into the second room. Emma Johnson had long pricked up her ears to hear everything clearly. When she saw her mother-in-law come in, she hurriedly reached out to take the child. ¡°Mother, give it to me.¡± Chloe was placed in Emma¡¯s arms. When she smelled the food, she sucked hard. Emma looked at her anxious and hungry appearance, and her heart was filled with tenderness. ¡°Emma, you take care of this child together. I¡¯ll add an egg for you every day.¡± ¡°Mother, you don¡¯t have to. I just happened to be able to breastfeed them together.¡± Amelia said resolutely, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then.¡± After settling down, Amelia drove Issac and Hazel to work. The Jones family was one of the poorest in the village. At the moment, since they had an extra mouth to feed, they could not rest. Only Emma who was in confinement, could lie on the bed and touch Chloe¡¯s little face. ¡°You¡¯re so pretty. You¡¯re supposed to be a child from the city, right?¡± Chloe had just eaten her fill. She spread out her legs and exposed her belly in satisfaction. Then, she smiled at Emma in an ingratiating manner. Emma was instantly amused and kissed her forehead. ¡°How adorable!¡± Chloe did not have any thoughts of acting cute or shameful. In her previous life, she had her master and four senior brothers to protect her. She was already used to being called a good-for-nothing for her whole life. If she could win by doing nothing, why would she still work hard? It was just that this family was poorer than she had imagined. It was not easy at all. After dinner, everyone from the Jones family came back. Only then did Issac figure out the composition of this family. Amelia was a widowed mother. She had three sons: Issac, Daniel, and Ethan. She also had a daughter, Luna, who had married into a neighboring village. Daniel had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Ella, was two years old. His son, Noah, was also born not long ago. He was a few days younger than Chloe. ¡°Brother, this child is really good-looking. She looks a little like you and your sister-in-law.¡± Daniel looked at Chloe, took out a few peaches, and lined them up on the table. ¡°Mother, today¡¯s luck is exceptionally good. When we came back, we actually found a wild peach tree on the path. It¡¯s so sweet, and it wasn¡¯t picked completely.¡± Even during the new year, the Jones family rarely had fruit to eat. Amelia picked up the few peaches and looked at them. They were all juicy and fully riped peaches. ¡°What a coincidence. There¡¯s one in each son, and the extra one is for Emma so she can nourish her body. She¡¯s nursing two babies now.¡± Emma waved her hands. ¡°Mom, you can have the extra one.¡± Amelia unquestionably divided the peaches and placed them in front of them. Just as she was about to put away her youngest son¡¯s peaches, the door was pushed open. Ethan was only 16 years old. His voice was heard before the others even saw him. ¡°Mom, Look what I got from the mountain!¡± Amelia immediately hit Ethan¡¯s head. ¡°I told you it¡¯s not safe to go up the mountain. Why did you go up the mountain again?¡± Ethan held his head with one hand and hid his other hand behind his back. He kept moaning. ¡°Mom, please slow down. I got a rabbit here.¡± Everyone saw that Ethan was holding a half-dead rabbit in his hand. It was round and fat, making people drool. ¡°This rabbit was found under my tree. It probably bumped into it by itself. Mother was actually telling the truth about waiting for the rabbit.¡± Amelia glared at him. ¡°Shut up. Wash your hands and eat. Don¡¯t go up the mountain in the future. If I find out again, I¡¯ll skin you alive!¡± After a long commotion, the whole family sat neatly in front of the table to eat. Chloe was held in Hazel¡¯s arms, her eyes fixed on the rabbit. It was not easy to see clearly. The rabbit looked so white and cute. It must be delicious. Everyone at the table was amused by this greedy look. Ethan said curiously, ¡°Is this child really just born? She looks so smart.¡± Two good things happened in the family, and Amelia was in a better mood. At this moment, looking at Chloe¡¯s appearance, she felt strange. This child seemed to be a blessed. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next morning, Chloe was awakened by a burst of fragrance. Amelia opened the pickle jar and fished out the pickled wild vegetables. After putting them in a pot of boiling water for a moment, she immediately fished them out. Then, she put in minced garlic, scallions, celery, and cauliflower. She added a few drops of oil and stir-fried the bean paste over and over. When she took it out out of the pot, she added a little rice vinegar and poured it into the plate of wild vegetables. With a sizzling sound, the oil stimulated the fragrance of the wild vegetables. An indescribable sour and spicy smell filled the entire room. Chloe cultivated for a while after the adults fell asleep last night. Her five senses were much better than that of an ordinary baby. When she was carried to the table by Hazel, she saw a few male members of the Jones family were sipping the porridge with the wild vegetables at the side. The freshly made corn pancakes were yellowish, and the edges were a little crispy. Chloe could not stop her saliva from dripping down. Hazel could only put her in Emma¡¯s room with an embarrassed expression. ¡°Sister-In-Law, I¡¯ll have to trouble you today.¡± Emma grinned. ¡°What are you saying, Eldest Sister-In-Law? Isn¡¯t your child like my own daughter?¡± Chloe could only drink her milk in grief and indignation, praying that she could grow up quickly. When all the laborers in the family went out to work, Amelia also came to Emma¡¯s room. ¡°How was your day? Did you feel unwell?¡± Emma hugged a child in each hand and said softly, ¡°Mother, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll be able to go to work after lying down for another two days.¡± Amelia glared at her. ¡°You had just given birth a few days ago and you already want to work? Why? Do think the Jones family has mistreated you?¡± Emma hurriedly explained, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just used to it. It¡¯s not comfortable lying in bed.¡± The Jones family was too poor, but they were all honest people. They were afraid that resting for two more days would add more burden to the family. Amelia sighed in her heart and took Chloe from Emma¡¯s arms. ¡°Rest for a few more days. I went to the back of the house just now to take a look. The old hen laid a few more eggs today. I¡¯ll make you some soup for lunch.¡± Before Emma could refuse, Amelia carried Chloe out. Innate Qi was indeed useful. After cultivating last night, Yue Qingqing found that her progress was progressing at a rapid pace. At the moment, she could see the luck of ordinary people clearly with her eyes. Amelia¡¯s body was covered in an orange-yellow layer, like the morning sun, looking very comfortable. Seeing the little kid¡¯s big round eyes staring at her without blinking, Amelia could not help but reveal a smile. However, the smile disappeared after seeing Ethan. ¡°Stop, where are you going?!¡± Ethan, who was about to sneak out of the house, stopped in his tracks and quickly put on an obedient and sensible look. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll go to our land and see if I can help.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Amelia narrowed her eyes. Ethan was a posthumous child and a premature baby. His two brothers and one sister had taken care of him since he was young. Due to his weak body, he could not do the hard work of farming normally. Instead, he liked to fish by the river and set up traps at the back of the mountain to catch birds and rabbits. However, the reason why the villagers did not go to the back of the mountain was that the area was too desolate and had never been developed before. There were often large ferocious beasts coming down to look for food. Only someone like Yue Jiannan who did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth liked to go there. Ethan was terrified when he saw his mother¡¯s expression. He quickly promised, ¡°It¡¯s true. I¡¯m already grown up. I have to do something for my family.¡± Amelia¡¯s expression became better. ¡°Go. Come back soon.¡± Ethan was just about to leave after receiving the pardon when the girl in Amelia¡¯s arms suddenly started crying. The heart-wrenching sound almost made Ethan fall. ¡°Mom¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡± Chloe howled as she stared at Ethan. No one could see it but Chloe could see it clearly. Ethan¡¯s body was shrouded in a black fog. The ink color was so thick that it made people panic. This was a bad omen. As long as Yue Jiannan stepped out of this door, he would definitely not return! Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The baby¡¯s cries came one after another. The two of them were at a loss and their hearts felt like they were being squeezed. Amelia reached out her hand and probed. She frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t see pee or poop¡­¡± Ethan was even more confused. He asked, ¡°Are you hungry?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Your Second Sister-In-Law just fed her.¡± Seeing that the two of them did not understand what she meant, Chloe could only try her best to reach out her hand toward Ethan¡¯s direction. Ethan stared at her chubby little hands in embarrassment. ¡°This girl¡­ could it be that she wants me to carry her?¡± What responded to him was Chloe¡¯s even louder cries. With Chloe¡¯s current Cultivation Base, it was impossible for her to change a person¡¯s luck without touching the person. Amelia had no other choice. ¡°Try carrying her.¡± Ethan took over Yue Qingqing in a flurry. The little baby was not heavy to carry, but the pressure caused Ethan to not dare to make any big movements. The way he carried the baby was not standard at all, but the baby actually stopped crying. ¡°I¡¯ve been liked by kids since I was young. Look, even Eldest Brother¡¯s daughter¡­¡± Just as the two of them let out a sigh of relief, they saw Chloe suddenly grab the button on Yue Jiannan¡¯s collar. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Amelia wanted to carry her back, but Chloe refused to let go. After a while, there was a snap. The front button of Yue Jiannan¡¯s collar fell. ¡°Mother, why is this child so strong?¡± Ethan did not have many good clothes, and his eyes were red with heartache. Amelia said unhappily, ¡°I heard that newborn babies will hold onto things and not let go. It¡¯s just a button. I¡¯ll fix it for you when I come back tonight.¡± Ethan was still lamenting, ¡°The collar can¡¯t even be buttoned up. Why is this child fighting with a button?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to the fields? Don¡¯t waste time.¡± Ethan was pushed out of the door by his mother. Chloe watched helplessly as the mist on Ethan¡¯s body gradually dispersed and turned light gold. It was finally done! Amelia was worried that Chloe would swallow the button. Just as she was about to think of a way to take it out, she saw Chloe open her hand. The button lay quietly in the girl¡¯s palm. It took up almost half of her palm. Amelia had raised a few children herself. Naturally, she knew that babies would not let go of the thing when it grabbed it earlier. Chloe¡¯s behavior could be described as weird. Amelia stared at Chloe for a while. She realized that the baby was very sleepy and began to spit out milk bubbles unconsciously. ¡°It¡¯s still young.¡± Amelia felt that she was overthinking things. She hugged Chloe and walked around twice before putting her back into Emma¡¯s room. Noah was also sleeping soundly on the bed. The two babies were lying on each side. Emma looked at each of them. Ella, who was already over two years old, was sitting in the yard with her grandmother. She lowered her head and stared at the unknown bugs for a long time before lifting her neck. The house was quiet. No one noticed that Chloe had opened her eyes quietly. Tired, too tired. In her previous life, why did she always stop at the Qi Refinement Stage? It was because the cost of changing one¡¯s luck was too great. It would consume her Cultivation Base, but it would also cause more trouble. Unless it was for the sake of her senior brothers and her master, Chloe almost never made a move. This time, she was also prepared to dissipate all her Spiritual Qi. After all, the Jones family treated her well. Her master had said that whether one was a human or an immortal, the most important thing was to repay the kindness. She did not expect that after circulating her Qi along her meridians, she would find that the Spiritual Qi in her body was only temporarily exhausted. Therefore, her energy instantly withered, but her Cultivation Level did not fall back to the bottom. After a long time, Yue Qingqing finally understood the key. The Heavenly Dao was hard to predict, but everything had karma. She was a soul from another world, so karma should remain in the original world. At the moment, since she had come to this unknown world, the karma from before was naturally cut off. Yue Qingqing could not help but widen her eyes when she thought of this. Did this mean that she was not under the control of the Heavenly Dao¡¯s laws and could help people change their luck at will? Chapter 6 - A Blessing In Disguise Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ethan had not returned by dinner time. The rabbit from yesterday had already been braised and placed on the table, but no one had any appetite. Amelia waited anxiously at the door, asking Issac and Daniel over and over again. ¡°Did he really not go to the field?¡± ¡°Did you see him on the way back? Did you ask around?¡± The two of them had already gone out to look for Ethan, but they did not see a trace of him. Issac was more cautious. He even went to the riverside to look around, but fortunately, he did not see any clothes floating over the river. ¡°Mother, don¡¯t be anxious. Eldest Brother and I will go out to take a look.¡± Daniel had just taken a sip of water and was in a hurry to run out again, but he was stopped by Amelia. ¡°This damn kid probably went to the back mountain again. Yesterday, he caught a rabbit. Today, his heart is wild. He really thinks he can be a hunter. Don¡¯t go looking for him. Just let him die outside.¡± The house was silent for a moment. Even a pin drop could be heard. Even Ella felt that something was wrong. She sat on the chair and kept quiet out of fear. Amelia panted heavily. Only Chloe, who was held in Hazel¡¯s arms, was shouting as if she did not know the world. However, no one could understand what she was trying to say. Hazel shushed softly, trying to make her daughter quiet down. Following Chloe¡¯s gaze, Hazel inadvertently looked outside the door and suddenly called out. ¡°Is it Ethan? Mother, Ethan is back!¡± Who else could it be but him who was limping at the door? Ethan had not even stepped into the house when he was viciously hit by Amelia with a broom. ¡°Who asked you to lie?! Who asked you to be playful?! Who told you not to go home?!¡± Ethan did not even have the strength to run away from the house. He could only cover his head and scream. ¡°Mother, I was wrong. Be gentle, mother, be gentle.¡± ¡°Eldest Brother, Second Brother, save me. Help me persuade mother.¡± Issac and his brother stood by the side and watched silently. This kid was usually very naughty. This day, he had the whole family to worry about him. If he did not get beaten up, he would not learn his lesson. Issac said in a low voice, ¡°Mother, please take a rest. Don¡¯t be angry and damage your body.¡± Just as Ethan wanted to express his gratitude, he saw his brother take the broom from his mother. ¡°I¡¯m very strong. Let me do it.¡± Ethan wanted to cry, but he had no tears. ¡°Don¡¯t hit me. I almost died today. It was not easy for me to get home, and you guys still want to beat me to death.¡± When he said this, Issac¡¯s hand stopped in midair. Everyone looked at Ethan. The clothes on this kid¡¯s body were hung in tatters. His pants were covered in mud, and there were bloodstains on his arms. He was so miserable that words could not describe it. Hazel asked timidly, ¡°Ethan, what happened to you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. Didn¡¯t I catch a rabbit yesterday? Today, I want to try my luck again and see if I can meet another one to improve the food at home.¡± Issac and his wife looked at each other. Their mother had guessed correctly. ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect to meet a black bear.¡± Although Ethan was standing in front of them in tact, everyone could not help but gasp. The black bear was one of the most terrifying animals in the mountain. No matter how experienced a hunger was, he would not dare to say that he could escape from it. ¡°I saw it running toward me from afar, so I ran as fast as I could. At the critical moment, my clothes were caught by a tree branch.¡± Daniel was immediately frightened. ¡°Then weren¡¯t you in big trouble?¡± Ethan was almost proud as he grabbed his collar. ¡°Fortunately, I was lucky. The branch just came out from here. I lost my footing and rolled down the mountain. In the end, I was actually fine. The black bear also ran away.¡± Everyone lamented that Yue Jiannan was lucky. Only Amelia kicked him twice with the tip of her shoe. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get carried away by black bear? B*stard, do you still dare to go to the back of the mountain in the future?¡± The broom that Issac had not used for a long time finally fell down. Ethan screamed in pain, but he did not dare to hide. He only covered his chest and did not move. ¡°I¡¯m not finished yet. When I rolled to the foot of the mountain, look what I found.¡± Ethan carefully took out a wide leaf bundle that was tied up by a grass rope. When he opened the layers of leaves, a yellow and white radish-like plant filled with roots was seen. ¡°Mother, is this the ginseng you mentioned?¡± Chapter 7 - Late-Night Conversation Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ginseng! This was the precious medicinal herb that Amelia said could save one¡¯s life. Amelia took the leaf and looked at it carefully for a few minutes. The people in the room did not even dare to breathe. Chloe wanted to poke her head out to take a look, but she could not even lift her head up. She could only vaguely see the item in Amelia¡¯s hand giving off a warm luster. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s ginseng.¡± Amelia¡¯s voice trembled slightly. Ethan grinned. ¡°Look at our luck. It¡¯s a blessing in disguise. Now you know you shouldn¡¯t hit me, right?¡± ¡°Issac, give him a good beating!¡± As soon as Amelia said that, Ethan welcomed the storm of his life. While Ethan pleaded, Amelia said, ¡°You¡¯re lucky today, but this kind of luck doesn¡¯t come every time. If I don¡¯t teach you a lesson today, you¡¯ll have to stay on the mountain with your bones next time.¡± After the screams ended, Ethan looked like a cabbage that had been hit by frost, his head drooping pitifully. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s eat,¡± Amelia said to Zhang Ying, ¡°Get rid of Ethan¡¯s bowl. Let him starve.¡± Ethan¡¯s voice said while crying, ¡°Mom, I really know my mistake.¡± Amelia did not relent. She carried the braised rabbit meat to the stove to heat it up again. The rich fragrance of the juice wrapped around the rabbit meat. The meat, which had been rolled twice, became softer and more tender. It could almost melt in the mouth. Hazel even ate an extra bowl of rice with the soup. Ethan stared at his two older brothers with a sad face. His mouth unconsciously chewed along with them. The only one who was as pitiful as him was Chloe ¡®So hungry¡­ I want to eat it.¡¯ Yue Qingqing looked on eagerly, her little face scrunched up into a ball. Seeing her daughter¡¯s expression, Hazel could not help but burst out laughing. At that moment, all eyes were on Chloe, looking at her pitiful and cute little appearance. Amelia¡¯s chopsticks paused, and her eyes narrowed. Ethan saw his niece¡¯s gluttonous expression and smiled as if she had been comforted. However, it also affected his wound, so he immediately let out a yelp. Amelia¡¯s gaze moved to her son¡¯s collar again. The collar, which was missing a button, was open, and there was a red mark on his chest where a tree branch had slid past. Coincidence? It was too much of a coincidence. After the meal, Issac suggested, ¡°Mother, I¡¯ll sell the ginseng in the city tomorrow.¡± The Jones family was too poor to keep such a good thing. Amelia looked at Ethan. ¡°Issac, you should still go to the fields and let Ethan go to the city.¡± Ethan was suddenly called out and pointed at his nose with his index finger. ¡°You¡¯re letting me go?¡± Amelia¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Yue Jiannan nodded hurriedly. How could he dare to say no? ¡°It¡¯s settled then. You will set off tomorrow morning.¡± After carefully putting away the ginseng, Amelia went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Ethan¡¯s stomach was growling. He could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. He was at the age where he could eat the most. It was worse to be hungry than to beat him up. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door. Issac came in with a bowl. ¡°Eldest Brother!¡± Yue Jiannan¡¯s eyes lit up and he hurriedly reached out to take it. However, Issac hid the bowl. ¡°Do you know what you did wrong today?¡± Ethan nodded his head continuously and stared at the bowl like a hungry wolf. ¡°I know.¡± Issac slammed the bowl on the table. ¡°You don¡¯t know! You must think that it¡¯s no big deal. You just think that it¡¯s fine because you came back alive, right? But have you thought about how our mother would live if something happened to you?¡± Ethan had been afraid of his eldest brother since he was young. He shrunk his neck and whispered, ¡°Doesn¡¯t she still have you guys?¡± ¡°Bullsh*t, how can it be the same? Don¡¯t think that our mother is always that strong. She¡¯s forced to be like this. She¡¯s a widowed mother with four children. If she wasn¡¯t stronger, she would have jumped into the river a long time ago.¡± ¡°Back then, father died because he saved someone and was slandered by that family. Mother was so angry that it affect her pregnancy. She almost lost half of her life to give birth to you.¡± ¡°Although mother didn¡¯t say it, among the few of us, the ones she was most worried about were Luna and you. If anything happened to you, mother wouldn¡¯t be able to close her eyes even if she died.¡± Ethan was both ashamed and regretful. He wiped his eyes with his hand and said, ¡°Eldest Brother, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m really not a good person. I¡¯m already so big and you¡¯re still worried about me. I won¡¯t go to the back of the mountain anymore.¡± Issac patted Ethan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯ve thought it through. I hit you a little too hard today. Don¡¯t blame me.¡± ¡°How can I blame you? I¡¯m the one who made everyone worry.¡± ¡°Eat it. Mother left this in the pot on purpose. It¡¯s still warm.¡± Ethan finally ate the rabbit meat that he had been drooling over for a long time. He took a bite of it and could not help but cry.. Chapter 8 - So Much Money? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Mother, I¡¯m ready to enter the city. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Ethan became much steadier overnight. He packed his things before dawn. Amelia¡¯s expression softened a lot. She packed a few freshly made spring rolls for him. ¡°Be careful on the way. Don¡¯t get lost.¡± She walked him to the door and remembered something, so she stopped Ethan. ¡°Wait for a moment.¡± Amelia turned around and carried Chloe out of the room. The baby who was woken up yawned and her watery eyes opened slightly. Ethan did not understand and stared at his little niece. ¡°Mother, what is it?¡± Amelia stared at her little granddaughter and only nodded in satisfaction when she realized that the latter had no reaction. ¡°Alright, you can go.¡± Ethan went out of the door, confused. He did not react for a long time. After breakfast, the Jones family members were ready to go to work when Hazel was stopped by her mother-in-law. ¡°Hazel, how did you find this child?¡± Hazel, was a little confused and repeated what she had said before. ¡°I was lying on a chair in the hospital crying, while Issac went to fetch hot water. Suddenly, I heard the cry of a child around me. I lowered my head and found Chloe. At that time, I only thought that God had been kind enough to give me a child.¡± Amelia listened while observing Chloe¡¯s reaction. Chloe had been cultivating for a long time last night. She was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She leaned her head against her grandmother¡¯s chest and fell asleep. Amelia reached out and touched Chloe¡¯s little head. Chloe seemed to have been disturbed. She smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, causing Hazel to go over and kiss her head again and again. Amelia smiled and put the child back into Emma¡¯s room. That night, Ethan had not returned for a long time. The Jones family members could barely sit on their stools. They peeked their heads out from time to time, but they did not dare to make any big movements to prevent their mother from worrying too much. Amelia also felt uneasy, but in order to make sure the family was calm, she could only take a deep breath. ¡°Stop looking. Let¡¯s get ready to eat.¡± Hazel did not dare to move her chopsticks. ¡°Mother, let¡¯s eat together when Ethan comes back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. He¡¯ll be back soon. I left some food for him.¡± Her words were casual, but her voice was trembling. The Jones family was anxious, but only Chloe did not panic. Before they left, Amelia had shown Ethan to her. Ethan¡¯s aura was very good. Even if there were some hiccups this time, nothing would happen. Amelia picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and the others could only eat with her. Fortunately, they had only eaten a few mouthfuls when there was finally a sound from outside the door. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back!¡± The tired voice could not hide the excitement. Daniel quickly went forward to open the door, and his younger brother immediately bumped into him. Hazel went to the kitchen to get a bowl, but Ethan did not have time to eat. He tiptoed and turned around to close the door. Before he closed the door, he even stuck his head out to see if there were any people around him. He looked as if he was a thief. ¡°Do you know how much this ginseng cost?¡± The Jones family members were all guessing. ¡°50 dollars?¡± ¡°80 dollars?¡± ¡°Could it be more than 100 dollars?¡± Ethan lowered his head and took off his shoes. He took out two thick stacks of cash from under the two insoles. ¡°300 dollars. The ginseng was sold for 300 dollars!¡± Daniel was stunned and almost knocked over the bowl in his hand. Just one ginseng was really worth that much? Amelia said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s about this price. The shop owner may have cheated us to lower the price. Otherwise, it would be even higher.¡± Everyone could not help but click their tongues. Such a small medicinal herb was actually comparable to the family¡¯s income for more than half a year. Amelia looked around and her gaze inadvertently slipped past Hazel¡¯s arms. Finally, she made the final decision. ¡°All of you, keep this in your bellies. No one is allowed to tell anyone.¡± If people knew that the Jones family, as a poor family, had made such a fortune, who knew how much trouble they would cause? Moreover, the medicinal herbs were picked up from the mountains. Someone in the village might deliberately cause trouble, saying that the medicinal herbs were a property of the public, and the Jones family should split the money. Thinking of these consequences, the people of the Jones family quieted down. They were only secretly excited in their hearts. This was 300 dollars. The Jones family had been poor for so long, but this was the first time they had seen so much money..
