Chapter 1234: Chapter 1230: Leaving the Ge Family (Part 3)

"Xiuxiu, this is the Divine Water I just got from the altar. Quickly drink a bowl. After drinking it, the baby in your belly will definitely be a son!"

Aunt Ge said as she handed the pitch-black medicine bowl over to Yu Xiuxiu.

The so-called Divine Water was actually just incense ash that fell on the altar table during Aunt Ge’s incense burning mixed with a little bit of water, stirred together to become the so-called Divine Water.

Yu Xiuxiu’s face turned pale with fright.

"Mother, I... I don’t want to drink this!" Yu Xiuxiu said.

"What? Not drink it? No way, I’ve been praying day and night for you to have a son, and now that I’ve finally got the Divine Water, you refuse to drink it!" Aunt Ge’s expression instantly changed.

The words she spoke even seemed to reprimand Xiuxiu.

Mu Shuangshuang saw the situation and quickly took the "Divine Water" from Aunt Ge!

"Aunt Ge, I’ll persuade Xiuxiu to drink this Divine Water later. By the way, Xiuxiu just told me that the baby in her belly is hungry. Have you cooked? Don’t let your great-grandson go hungry!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Ge rushed out of Yu Xiuxiu’s room as if her seat had caught fire.

It looks like she went to prepare a meal!

Seeing Aunt Ge like this, Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt that the one suffering from depression wasn’t Xiuxiu, but rather Aunt Ge!

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang still holding that bowl of black stuff, Xiuxiu asked in a low voice, "Shuangshuang, do you think I should drink this stuff too?"

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback, it took her a moment to react. She quickly walked to the mouse hole in Xiuxiu’s room and poured all the water into it.

Perhaps intentionally controlled, when she poured the bowl of water, not a single drop showed on the ground, not even a faint wet mark!

"Isn’t this better?" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Afraid that Aunt Ge might force Yu Xiuxiu to drink such strange things again when she wasn’t around, she said, "In the future, no matter what Aunt Ge sends, use this method. Of course, make sure not to get caught.

If she insists on you drinking it on the spot, hold your stomach and say you feel nauseous. In any case, don’t go against her. Wait until I discuss this with Brother Sandan, and we’ll figure out what to do after that!"

"Okay!"

After giving a few more reminders, Mu Shuangshuang left Ge Sandan’s house.

When she arrived at Mu Dalang’s house, both Mu Dalang and Ge Sandan had been waiting for her for quite some time.

Ge Sandan first asked her about Xiuxiu’s condition.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t hold back and said, "Brother Sandan, to be honest, Xiuxiu’s situation isn’t great, but Aunt Ge’s situation is even worse!

I feel like Aunt Ge is a bit obsessed! She just tried to get Xiuxiu to drink a bowl of tea mixed with incense ash. Not only would a normal person hesitate to drink it, but since Xiuxiu is now pregnant, what if something goes wrong?"

"What? My mother actually used that stuff for Xiuxiu. I’m going to find her!" Ge Sandan jumped up immediately.

His face was full of agitation as he prepared to confront his mother.

But he was stopped by Mu Shuangshuang.

"Brother Sandan, don’t do that. If Aunt Ge finds out, Xiuxiu won’t have a peaceful day!"

"But I can’t just ignore it! If my mom does this while you’re around, who knows what she’ll give Xiuxiu next time when you’re not there?"

Especially when Aunt Ge doesn’t mean harm.

In this world, what’s scary isn’t doing bad things.

It’s when someone does bad things with good intentions!

When bad people do bad things, you can hate them as much as you want!

But if it’s someone close to you, how can you bear to hate them?

"I’m not saying you should ignore it. I want you to think of other ways to handle this! Given the current situation, Xiuxiu can’t stay with the Ge Family!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"If not at the Ge Family, then there’s nowhere else to stay!"

Yu Xiuxiu’s family has many siblings, she wouldn’t get any benefit out of returning.

Also, if she goes back, as a pregnant woman, she can’t avoid doing work.

That’s not what Ge Sandan wants to see!

"Go to the town. I have a place there, close to the restaurant. If you want, you can take Xiuxiu and stay there until after Xiuxiu gives birth!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"And after you move there, Brother Yu can help look after you. If you want, you can find a job at the restaurant, and as for Xiuxiu, she can work if she wants, and if she doesn’t, I’ll still pay her!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s words deeply moved Ge Sandan.

But he knows he can’t take advantage of Mu Shuangshuang that much!

"Shuangshuang, we’ll stay at your place, but you must charge us rent, and we’ll draft an agreement so that when the time comes, we’ll move out!"

Sun Dawu’s situation was something Ge Sandan heard from Yu Dahai.

He knows he’s not someone who would take advantage of a good deal, but he also can’t let others suffer losses.

Not to mention, he and Fengzi are such good brothers!

"Brother Sandan, I trust you and Xiuxiu. No rent, no agreement needed!"

Mu Shuangshuang had interacted with Ge Sandan and Xiuxiu multiple times.

She absolutely trusts their character!

"No, it must be like this, or we won’t go!" Ge Sandan insisted.

Mu Shuangshuang had no choice but to say that when they get to the restaurant, Yu Dahai can be their guarantor.

"It’s just, my mother might not agree to me and Xiuxiu moving out," Ge Sandan lowered his head, feeling extremely troubled.

His mother had a hard time raising him, especially since he lost his father when he was young!

He doesn’t want to go against his mother, if... if only his father were still around, he would definitely dare to say those things buried deep in his heart.

"I have an idea! Tell Aunt Ge that you and Xiuxiu are going to the White Cloud Temple in town to pray for a son and need to stay nearby, going to burn incense every few days!

As long as it’s about having a son, she will agree!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Really? She would agree to that?" Ge Sandan asked incredulously!

"Yes! Trust me!" Mu Shuangshuang said confidently, Aunt Ge would do anything for a grandson!

"Alright! I’ll go then! Shuangshuang, there’s one more thing. What if... What if Xiuxiu really has a daughter? What will happen? Will my mother go crazy?" Ge Sandan asked.

Everyone cared about the future!

The matter of having a son is truly uncertain.

Mu Shuangshuang knows this too, even Mrs. Jin, in her lifetime, only gave Mu Dade two daughters.

Even now, she’s still being cursed by Old Mrs. Mu as a hen that doesn’t lay eggs!

"We’ll deal with it when it happens! You can’t change anything, Xiuxiu can’t change anything, and neither can Aunt Ge!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Ge Sandan sighed, just like what Mu Shuangshuang said, he can’t do anything about the matter of having children!

"I... I... I got it! From now on, I’ll treat Xiuxiu well and always stand by her, regardless of whether we have a son or not!"

Ge Sandan said to Mu Shuangshuang.

With his promise, Mu Shuangshuang felt that Xiuxiu’s future might not be so bleak!
