Chapter 1176: Chapter 1177: Rag Doll
Gu Lingling looked at the fabric doll in her hand with a pale face.
"Lingling, what’s wrong?" Grandma Yao asked in a frightened hurry.
Yang Yunhai heard the commotion outside and quickly ran inside, only to see Gu Lingling holding a fabric doll, her face looking very unwell.
"Grandma, you say... is this fabric doll made by my biological grandmother?" Gu Lingling asked, trembling as she held it.
"This one wasn’t made by her," Grandma Yao said, "I made it in imitation of the ones your grandmother used to make."
"Your grandmother made such a fabric doll before your mother was even born, but when we got separated back then, that doll went missing too," Grandma Yao said.
"Then... could someone else be making this type of doll?" Gu Lingling asked, her face drained of any color.
"I suppose not," Grandma Yao said worriedly, looking at her. "Lingling, what’s the matter with you?"
"How could it be impossible? It’s just a fabric doll, maybe many people know how to make it." Gu Lingling didn’t answer her question and continued, "So, you don’t have anything else of hers here?"
"Lingling, what’s wrong with you?" Grandma Yao asked.
"Please answer my question first, Grandma. This is very important," Gu Lingling said urgently.
If only her grandmother could make those fabric dolls, then... who made the fabric doll she saw in Xue Town?
Wang Xiaoqian said that doll was many years old, all the previous ones had broken, but her mother kept fussing about it until she made another one to appease her.
Yet coincidentally, the same type of fabric doll appeared in Grandma Yao’s home.
And Grandma Yao said that the doll had been sewn by her grandmother for her unborn mother years ago.
Gu Lingling felt as if she was becoming confused.
There was a thought in her head that kept trying to emerge.
"Of course it can’t happen," Grandma Yao said hastily. "Only your grandmother could make this. Why are you asking about it?"
"I’ve seen this fabric doll," Gu Lingling said.
Even though her voice was small, its penetrating strength was very strong, and everyone present heard it clearly.
"You’ve seen it? Where?" Grandma Yao asked anxiously.
"Grandma, don’t be anxious," Gu Lingling reassured her. "I need to double-check first."
"Brother Yang, I need to go to Xue Town," Gu Lingling said, choking up. "I need to go right now, immediately."
Earlier, Yang Yunhai had just told her that Guo Chundan was released, and they planned to visit Xue Town once Grandma Yao’s illness improved.
But now, she couldn’t afford to waste a second.
If, if everything was true, then barring any surprises, the Old Mrs. Wang holding the fabric doll might be her biological grandmother.
"Lingling, have you heard news about your grandmother? I want to go too," Grandma Yao guessed, seeing her reaction.
"Grandma, your health has to improve first, stay at home. I’ll confirm it, and if it really is, I’ll call you," Gu Lingling said. "Grandma, maybe it isn’t?"
Grandma Yao’s mouth moved.
She dared not say it.
What if it really isn’t?
Meanwhile, Gu Lingling and Yang Yunhai had seized the opportunity to run out, and the car quickly started.
Grandma Yao got down from the bed.
"What are you going to do?" Yao Zhenjiang worriedly supported her.
"I’m going to pray to Buddha," Grandma Yao said, hunching over.
Didn’t you... no longer believe in that?
He thought about it but didn’t voice it out.
Hopefully, Buddha will protect them this time.
