“How can I accept that? You should bring it back for your eldest daughter and the others to eat!” Mrs. Luo wasn’t a person who liked to take advantage of others, so she refused without hesitation.
However, Old Madam Guo looked indifferent. As she continued to take pears out of the basket, she said disdainfully, “What does it matter if those girls eat them or not? On the other hand, your eldest son’s wife has a sharp belly. Just wait to see your grandson!”
At this point, Old Madam Guo couldn’t help but sound envious. “Your eldest son’s wife has been pregnant for five months, right?”
“But I think daughters are quite nice. As the old saying goes, they bloom first and bear fruit later.” Mrs. Luo didn’t like Old Madam Guo’s attitude towards her granddaughters, but this was someone else’s family matter after all, so it wasn’t convenient for her to interfere. However, in their own family, she had the final say.
Moreover, in the current situation, Mrs. Luo didn’t want to let Old Madam Guo stay here to gossip. She only wanted to send her away quickly.
“You can’t say that. Sigh, why don’t you get her to go over and pray too? Just for the child to have a safe birth.” Old Madam Guo clearly didn’t want to leave so quickly. Her gaze landed on Lin Suisui, who was sitting in the courtyard.
“Is this your sister’s relative?”
In the end, she couldn’t help but ask about Lin Suisui. It was because Lin Suisui’s extravagant attire was really difficult for her to ignore.
“Yes.” Mrs. Luo originally planned to come out and stop her, but Lin Suisui answered her. She looked up at Old Madam Guo and smiled politely as she said with an easygoing expression, “My family and Mrs. Luo’s family escaped together.”
“Oh, I see! Then why haven’t I seen you here before? You aren’t living in Cloud Mountain City?” Old Madam Guo could tell that Lin Suisui was dressed like a noble. Moreover, her outfit didn’t look like something ordinary could afford to wear. She originally thought that Lin Suisui wasn’t easy to talk to and didn’t dare to ask. Now that she saw Lin Suisui’s down-to-earth attitude, she immediately became emboldened, so she simply dragged a chair over to sit beside Lin Suisui. Then, she began to ask questions.
Lin Suisui was also very cooperative and answered every question in a soft voice.
Although this scene looked quite harmonious, Mrs. Luo, who knew that things were not that simple, felt her heart skip a beat.
On the other hand, Bai Guo could tell that Aunt Luo was uneasy, so she went forward and helped her move the things back to the kitchen at the back so that she could avoid listening to the conversation she was worried about.
Old Madam Guo’s family was in the commerce business. She, who had always had good business acumen, was very talkative. In addition, Lin Suisui was willing to cooperate, so Old Madam Guo’s attitude became more and more relaxed. As soon as she started talking, she told Lin Suisui a lot of information. “In that case, is that true god really that effective?” Lin Suisui tilted her head and looked at Old Madam Guo with interest.
“Of course!” Old Madam Guo patted her chest and promised earnestly, “The holy water bestowed by God is a divine medicine that can cure all illnesses!
The head of the Du family in the alley next door had been sick for more than 20 years. After the head of the Du family drank the holy water, he could get out of bed and even walk outside.
This holy water wasn’t something ordinary people could obtain.
“The Sage said that firstly, it has to be a fated person. Secondly, the person has to be sincere.”
Lin Suisui nodded.
Whether they were fated or sincere, it all depended on who paid the most.
Lin Suisui sized up Old Madam Guo calmly before asking nonchalantly, “Have you asked for holy water too, Aunt Guo?”
“I’m currently asking for it!” Old Madam Guo sighed and smacked her lips regretfully as she said, “The Sage said that our family is still a little lacking in fate with the true god.
My only son’s wife had three daughters in a row! If this continues, won’t my husband have no descendants?
“I had no choice but to beg God to appear and bestow a son to my family!”
Old Madam Guo rambled on for a long time. It wasn’t until Lin Suisui expressed that she was interested in paying respects to the true god that she perked up again. As she introduced the situation at the True God Temple and the rules of worship, she invited Lin Suisui to go to her house to offer incense to the true god.
Lin Suisui didn’t refuse. She stood up and brought Bai Guo and Yin Qiao to Old Madam Guo’s house.
The feeling was similar to that of the sacrificial temple. The Guo family’s small shrine was very exquisite. At a glance, one could feel the piety and reverence of the person who had arranged all this.
Lin Suisui only glanced at the nine-headed snake statue in the shrine before her gaze was attracted by the woman kneeling on the ground at the side of the shrine.
From the moment they entered until now, this woman had been lying on the futon and muttering something piously. She ignored them as they entered.
This woman was very thin and from the back, she looked like Princess Ning Fu, whom Lin Suisui had seen earlier today.
Lin Suisui didn’t disturb her. Instead, she gestured for Bai Guo to burn incense for the statue in her place. She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a figure flash past the window.
When she came out, she saw three small heads poking out from behind the corridor and sizing her up. If she didn’t guess wrongly, these should be the three granddaughters that Old Madam Guo despised!
However, what attracted Lin Suisui’s attention wasn’t their sorry state, but the fact that after these three children appeared, the Gu in her body actually reacted!
This Gu was modified by her using the parasite on Consort Molevin. As long as it approached someone with the tame head technique, the Gu would awaken.
From the moment she came into contact with Old Madam Guo until she saw her daughter-in-law in the temple, there was no movement from the Gu until these three children appeared!
Lin Suisui’s expression suddenly darkened, but she didn’t disturb the three little girls who clearly didn’t dare to approach.. Instead, she turned around and asked Old Madam Guo, who had followed her out of the temple, “Aunt Guo, have you ever brought your three granddaughters to the True God Temple to kowtow?”
