Chapter 220 Guanyin Sends a Child

Do you know? Because of this, I don't know how many nights I've spent crying alone under the covers. When my husband saw me crying, he initially took his blanket and went to sleep somewhere else.

Later, he left home under the pretense of going out to work, and six months later he brought home a beautiful young woman. He then ruthlessly asked me for a divorce, which I refused and had a huge fight with my husband.

I understand why my husband brought up the word "divorce"—it's because we haven't had any children after being married for so many years. And my in-laws always find fault with me because of this.

I felt I had done enough! Every day I would get up at three or four in the morning to grind a load of soybeans that I had soaked the night before into soy milk using a stone mill. Just as I was about to pour a small bowl of vinegar into the soy milk, I heard a rooster crowing outside, so I had to put down what I was doing.

From the very first day I moved into my husband's family home, my mother-in-law told me that from now on, I would be responsible for preparing all three meals a day. Since my father-in-law is a butcher who goes to other people's homes to slaughter pigs, he has to get up at dawn every day, so we have to make breakfast very early.

In addition, my family has made a living selling tofu for many years, so when I got married, my mother and father gave me a lot of tofu-making tools as part of my dowry. My mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law have teased me about this countless times!

They said my family was just a bunch of country bumpkins who made a living selling tofu! They said I was incredibly lucky to marry into their family. And they kept telling me that you must cherish what you have!

Back then, they would always say to me that I was marrying up by marrying into their family. They said that since I was already married into their family, I should bear them children as soon as possible, which would be the best way for me to cherish my good fortune.

Haha! But don't they realize that their family also makes a living by selling pork? Their family's social status is no different from mine, so why look down on them like that?

After Grandma Kui finished speaking, she burst into tears!

You said I've never done anything to hurt anyone in my life! Why won't God give me a child?

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that Granny Kui was crying her eyes out, she quickly conjured up a handkerchief. She used the handkerchief to wipe away Granny Kui's tears, seeing how heartbroken Granny Kui was that she had never had a child of her own.

Lost in thought, just as she was about to offer some words of comfort to Grandma Kui, she heard her grandmother ask her a question.

Little girl, I have a little secret to tell you that no one else knows! It's why I keep giving Longzhen's son some pre-made soy milk.

That's because I think that little boy is so chubby and fair-skinned, he's really adorable! He's like a doll from a New Year's painting. Sometimes I really want to kidnap this chubby little boy and make him my child!

Grandma Kui, please don't be so sad! Although I'm not from the same village as you, I've heard many elders say over the years that you've always done many good deeds for the villagers without making a fuss.

You are a very good person! I think it won't be long before I have a chubby little child, because there are gods watching over us, and the Buddha and Bodhisattvas will remember every good deed you have done for everyone.

The reason I'm not giving you a child right now is because you know there's a famine going on throughout the country. Once this severe famine is over, twins, a boy and a girl, will be born into your womb.

When Granny Kui heard Guanyin Bodhisattva say these words to her, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he tightly grasped one of Guanyin Bodhisattva's hands in his own.

Really? Really? Is this for real? This wonderful young lady, do you really think Guanyin Bodhisattva will grant me a pair of twins, a boy and a girl?

Guanyin Bodhisattva simply smiled at Granny Kui and then picked up the dried mushrooms that were drying on the floor and examined them. The mushrooms were now completely dry, devoid of any moisture.

Mother-in-law, do you have anything at home that can be crushed?

"You've already dried the wild grass you picked?" Grandma Kui asked, picking up the dried mushrooms that had been drying on the floor. She examined them carefully and noticed that the mushrooms, which had been full of moisture just moments before, were now completely dry. Grandma Kui was very puzzled by this.

Previously, she had taken something very moist to dry in the sun, and it would take almost a day to dry. But this time, drying this wild grass called "nan gu" only took one to two hours. What happened?

As Granny Kui pondered this question, she raised her head and saw Guanyin Bodhisattva pouring the dried mushrooms into the stone. Just as she was about to cast her spell, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.

Turning around, she saw it was Granny Kui. She thought to herself, "Thank goodness I didn't use my magic in front of her. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain it to her!"

Haha! Little girl, can you pull a stone mill? Let me tell you, the stone mill in my house is really heavy! It usually takes me an entire afternoon to grind a load of soybeans to make soy milk and tofu.

Grandma, when I came into your house just now, I saw that you had two or three water buffaloes in your cowshed. Why don't you let the water buffaloes help you grind soybeans?

Haha! I already had that idea in mind, but when I first used our water buffalo to grind soybeans, my mother-in-law scolded me. She said she raised those water buffaloes to plow the fields! Not for me to be lazy!

Not only that, she also picked up a broom from the yard and beat me severely. I always swallowed my anger and endured it all so that my family could live peacefully and that there would be no arguments among us. But what good did it do?

My mother-in-law and sister-in-law still find all sorts of ways to torment me! I keep wondering, what's the point of all this suffering and compromise?

As she spoke, a crystal-clear tear slowly rolled down Grandma Kui's cheek.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that Granny Kui was crying, she embraced her and gently patted Granny Kui's back. While patting her, she channeled a large amount of divine energy into Granny Kui's body.

Grandma Kui immediately felt a warm gas entering her body.
