Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Allergies Can Be Fatal Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Allergies Can Be Fatal But she whispered “Mom, Dad” a couple of times and received no response, thinking her parents were sound asleep, she didn’t call out again.
So, after taking turns to have a few sips, Da Ya and Er Ya, the elder sisters, stopped drinking, leaving the remainder for the two younger ones.
Little did they know, their parents weren’t asleep; the words Zhaodi had said during the day ensured the knowledge-thirsty couple could not sleep.
Listening to their four daughters sharing a bowl of milk essence, they felt deeply grateful to Eldest’s family.
After finishing the milk essence, Zhaodi felt the urge to pee and went to the toilet in her shoes.
On her way back to the room, she happened to run into Jiang Mianmian who had just finished washing up.
Jiang Mianmian gave her a candied haw: “Here, two for each person, just like before.”
“Thank you, Third Sister, you’re really kind,” Zhaodi said with a smile, sweet as can be, as she took the candied haw.
“You’re welcome,” Jiang Mianmian patted her little head and, thinking of the mung bean cake she’d mentioned earlier, asked, “Zhaodi, you didn’t find the wild herb you were talking about?”
Zhaodi shook her head: “No, I didn’t find it. It seems we don’t have that kind of wild herb around here.”
She never considered making mung bean cake for San Ya to eat, since allergies that severe could be fatal.
She admitted she envied and was jealous of the other girl, but she didn’t resent or even dislike her—actually, as a child, she genuinely liked her sister who often gave her food and clothes.
The ones she wanted to get back at were only her exploitative grandparents and Third Branch’s family. She would also repay the kindness Eldest’s family had shown her.
Jiang Mianmian, hearing this, didn’t feel disappointed: “Well then, never mind, you better get back to your room so you don’t catch a cold.”
Thanks to the bowl of milk essence they had drunk, the girls saved their candied haws for the next day.
Before long, everyone else fell asleep, but Zhaodi wasn’t the slightest bit sleepy.
The milk essence she’d just had awakened her appetite, and now the thought of going out to make money was especially strong.
Once she earned some money, she would buy ten cans of milk essence and drink it three times a day.
But her age was really too young, only seven, and she had no say in the household. Her parents wouldn’t take her seriously.
And doing business required capital, but before the family split, her parents had no money to spare!
So she would have to wait until after the family division to start earning money, but after the New Year, they would need to prepare for spring farming. She hadn’t been reborn just to come back and farm the land.
It seemed she had to think of other ways, but for now, the most important thing was to make her grandparents believe that her mom was carrying a little brother in her womb.
So, the next morning at breakfast, Zhaodi spoke up in front of everyone again: “Last night, I dreamt about the old man with a white beard again. He said my little brother is already in Mom’s belly.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua frowned, but she didn’t curse like she had the time before.
Once might be coincidence, but having the same dream two days in a row seemed miraculous.
After all, Zhaodi was just a seven-year-old child and likely couldn’t make up such a lie.
Zhaodi saw that her grandma didn’t mock her like the last time and felt somewhat proud inside.
In her previous life, she had seen some hypnotic movies and knew that if she repeated the same words to them for several days, even if they didn’t temporarily believe what she said, it would still leave an imprint on their subconscious.
Once it was confirmed that her mom was pregnant, they would immediately remember the words she had said before and subconsciously think that this baby was a boy.
Then believing that her little brother was sent by an Immortal wouldn’t be that far-fetched.
