Chapter 253: Chapter 252: The Immortals Won’t Allow It Chapter 253: Chapter 252: The Immortals Won’t Allow It She recalled the events of her past life in her mind, and vaguely remembered that something significant seemed to have happened during Great Grandpa’s birthday celebration.
But by the time she died of exhaustion, she was already more than thirty years old, and those events from over twenty years ago had become somewhat hazy.
She lay in bed, thinking hard for a long time before finally remembering.
In the year of Great Grandpa’s eightieth birthday, a landslide had occurred on the road from Stone Bridge Village to her grandma’s house, instantly burying two passersby alive!
However, her grandparents and Zhiwen as well as Zhiwu had left early, thus avoiding the disaster.
But the sudden change in Jiang Mianmian’s schooling made Zhaodi a bit uncertain whether this life would unfold as the last one had, and that very evening, a light rain began to fall outside.
By morning, the light rain had turned into a torrential downpour.
This heavy rain confirmed Zhaodi’s memory, and a plan suddenly took shape in her mind.
At breakfast, she said to Zhang Guihua, “Grandma, last night in my sleep, I dreamed of Immortal Grandpa again. The Immortal said you shouldn’t go to Great Grandma’s house a day early. He said it was not a good day for travel and could lead to accidents. He suggested you go either two days earlier or on that very day.”
Upon her words, all eyes at the table turned to her.
Zhang Guihua had been worrying; with the rain falling so heavily, she had no idea when it would stop. The road back to her mother’s house was difficult to navigate, and if the rain didn’t let up, what was she to do?
Hearing what Zhaodi had said, she hesitated and asked, “The Immortal cares about these trivial matters too? Did he really say that to you?”
Zhaodi nodded affirmatively, “Yes, he insisted that I stop you. He said if you go on that day, you will definitely encounter danger.”
Had she dared to say such things in the past, the old lady would have scolded her for being a harbinger of doom and for speaking without thinking.
But recalling the two previous accurate predictions made by Zhaodi, Zhang Guihua was somewhat indecisive.
As Jiang Changhai watched Zhaodi, with a face full of conviction, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with inquiry and scrutiny, yet he remained silent.
Zhao Xiaojuan, on the other hand, was taken aback. Why hadn’t Zhaodi discussed it with her before abruptly saying such things in front of so many people?
What if the grandmother thought Zhaodi was cursing her and decided to punish her severely?
Sun Lixia even openly scoffed, “Zhaodi, it seems you’re still half asleep, spouting nonsense. Are you keeping your grandma from going to your Great Grandpa’s house because you’re jealous that she didn’t take you with her?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua immediately looked at Zhaodi with a questioning gaze.
Clearly, she was considering whether Zhaodi really had such intentions, deliberately using the Immortal as an excuse to deceive her.
“Third Aunt, I wasn’t thinking like that. Everything I’ve said was told to me by the Immortal. I’m worried about Grandpa and Third Sister, as well as Big Brother and Second Brother being in danger,” Zhaodi said with an expression that was both anxious and irritated, the very image of a child being doubted by an adult.
“What if because of what you said, Grandma is delayed from going back home to help, and how will you explain then?” Sun Lixia was relentless, firmly believing that Zhaodi was just putting on an act.
She even suspected that Zhaodi had sneakily brought the mouse into her room—why else would it appear right after she mentioned it despite years without issue?
As for knowing that the second sister-in-law was pregnant, that was even simpler—all one needed to do was to check if her monthly cycle had arrived.
Zhaodi couldn’t be bothered to engage with her and instead looked at Zhang Guihua with a worried face, “Grandma, Grandma, the Immortal really did say that. Please take my advice and go back a day later. Once you return safely, then you can scold me or punish me however you want.”
