Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She walked towards the backyard and heard the sound of chickens and ducks. Mr. Chu was feeding the poultries.
Madam Li walked over with difficulty.
When Mr. Chu heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Madam Li. Mr. Chu was taken aback by her teary face. “What’s happening? Did you get ridiculed by those rich madams? 1 told you not to hang out with them, but you didn’t believe me. Why do you have to curry favor with them?”
Mr. Chu knew that Madam Li cared a lot about her pride, so he subconsciously thought that Madam Li had been ridiculed by one of the rich madams in the capital and cried from anger.
As he wiped Madam Li’s tears, he muttered, “I told you that there is nothing good about living in the capital, but you didn’t believe me. I think Yong County is better. In Yong County. Who would dare to ridicule you? Why did we have to come here…”
Madam Li cried and shook her head. Mr. Chu was not capable. She was greedy and narrow-minded, but all these years, Mr. Chu had never flared up at her.
Madam Li burst into tears. “I’ve let you down…”
Mr. Chu was stunned. “What’s wrong with you today? What are you talking about?”
Mr. Chu grabbed Madam Li and wanted to help her into the house, but Madam Li wouldn’t budge.
Madam Li cried, “Before you, I had someone I liked. He lied to me and impregnated me with a child. All these years, 1 watched that child grow up, but some time ago, the child was gone and he became a ghost. I’m guilty…”
Mr. Chu was completely struck dumb. “Wait, wait, wait, what did you say?”
What Madam Li said was too hard for him to accept.
For the next two hours, Madam Li was explaining everything to Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu frowned with a cold expression. After Madam Li finished, Mr. Chu said, “You have to worship that child for ten years, right?”
Madam Li nodded. “That’s what Sanniang said. I-I feel the most guilty about him in my life.”
Mr. Chu sighed. “It’s just a memorial tablet. If you have to worship him for ten years to let him enter reincarnation, so be it. Don’t say anything about leaving us. Chu Ran needs a mother, and 1 also need you. If you want to blame someone, blame that man. You were gullible at that young age and believed him easily.”
All these years, although Madam Li was indeed a little unreasonable, she didn’t treat him badly and had managed the household well. Moreover, they had a son.
Mr. Chu looked at Madam Li and said, “But I’m not used to living here. This mansion belongs to Yan. Let’s move out, ok?”
Madam Li loved money. Ever since they moved to the capital, Madam Li had become more and more superficial. This made Mr. Chu very uncomfortable.
Madam Li nodded. “Alright, let’s move out.”
From now on, she did not want to be separated from Mr. Chu. She did not treat Chu Yan well in the past, so she was not qualified to come and enjoy a rich life he provided.
It would be good if they moved out.
After Madam Li agreed, Mr. Chu heaved a sigh of relief.
After discussing with Mr. Chu, Madam Li went to look for Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang was teaching Lin Jie array formations. When Madam Li arrived, Liu Sanniang said, “Go and prepare the memorial tablet. I’ll keep him here for the time being.”
Madam Li nodded. “Okay, okay.”
In Madam Li and Mr. Chu’s hearts, Liu Sanniang became even more sacred.
Madam Li quickly prepared the memorial tablet. Liu Sanniang guided Chu Chun’s soul to the memorial tablet.
Madam Li carried the memorial tablet back and put it up. She immediately lit an incense stick and worshiped.
She muttered softly, “We’re about to move out. In the future, we won’t have that much money. The incense will be cheaper. Will you mind?”
Of course, Chu Chun would not mind. He was already satisfied that he could have a good ending now.
Mr. Chu told Chu Yan that he wanted to move out. Chu Yan did not stop him. After Mr. Chu chose the house, Chu Yan gave him the title deed.
After Chu Yan left, Mr. Chu held the title deed and was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes. “Yan is a good child.”
Chu Ran leaned against Madam Li and said solemnly to Mr. Chu, “Father, you don’t have to feel bad. Just take what Brother gave you. 1’11 work hard to repay him in the future.”
Chu Ran already knew the ways of the world. The world in the capital was complicated, but it could also allow people to grow quickly.
Madam Li felt ashamed of herself. She nodded. “Ran is right.”
Thinking of how cold she had been to Chu Yan in the past, Madam Li regretted it.
Madam Li felt that Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were really good people. She felt inferior and started to respect them from the bottom of her heart.
In October, the weather turned cold.
In the capital, the storyteller looked at the overcrowded teahouse with a smile on his face. He took a sip of hot tea and cleared his throat. “Last time, we talked about the goddess of the Western Wild saving the world. Today, we’ll continue the story. This goddess of the Western Wild heard that there was a famine in the south. She immediately went to the south. She used a spell to make food out of thin air to help people tide over the famine…”
The teahouse was filled with people, and everyone listened with relish.
The storyteller was also engrossed in recounting the story in detail. People felt as if they were taken to that famine land and witnessed the natural disaster themselves.
Although none of them had seen the goddess of the Western Wild, they were full of awe towards her.
“This goddess of the Western Wild is the last god in this world. She comes from the divine mountain of the Western Wild. As soon as she comes out, all the beasts kneel to her. With a wave of her hand, all the birds will worship her. Only a god can do these miracles.”
The storyteller was so excited that his face turned red. Seeing that it was time, he cleared his throat and said, “The whereabouts of the goddess are unknown. It was said that wherever there is disaster, there will be her. She will fulfill all your requests and is more effective than all the temples. If you are lucky enough to meet the goddess of the Western Wild, your life will be smooth-sailing.”
“Perhaps you’ll be the next person to see her.” The storyteller smiled and took a sip of tea..
