Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 57: Manbao’s Bitter Experience

Ai Zhaodi felt uneasy when mentioning her mother-in-law, hastily shook her head: "No, no, just let our mom dote on the girl if she wants! I’m already busy all day, and I’m afraid I won’t take good care of Manbao if handed over to me!"

Yi Meng smiled without saying a word.

As long as no one is taking her daughter away from her, nothing else matters.

Looking down at her daughter who was waddling around on chubby little legs, Yi Meng looked around before saying: "Manbao, don’t go any further, just relieve yourself here, okay?"

Qi Manman lifted her chin to look at her mother, thought for a bit, and then nodded: "Okay!"

Yi Meng drew a sickle from her waist and cleared a patch of weeds, allowing the little one to crouch and relieve herself.

They were already more than ten meters away. Yi Meng’s anxiety about her daughter causing trouble lessened as the distance from the group increased.

They weren’t near their village; there were no farms nor inns nearby, and even the path was overgrown with weeds. Without someone knowledgeable about the area leading the way, they’d likely be stuck trudging through the wild grass.

So, they couldn’t stray too far from the main group. If anything were to happen, she could bring her daughter into the space to hide, but the laborer’s wife and little Xiao Shi couldn’t.

Qi Manman crouched on the ground, preparing to relieve herself while plucking at the weeds beside her.

Qi Shilang was also pulling down his trousers under Ai Zhaodi’s care.

Ai Zhaodi held her son’s shoulders and whistled.

She adored her daughter, but Ai Zhaodi very much doted on her only son as well, always careful when taking care of him.

Yi Meng was vigilant, fearing a snake or insect might emerge from the grass to harm the children.

"Mom, I’m done urinating."

Qi Shilang looked up at his mother, reaching to grab his trousers.

Ai Zhaodi hurriedly dressed her son, when she heard Qi Manman exclaim: "Mom, red fruit!"

Yi Meng and Ai Zhaodi simultaneously looked at Qi Manman.

They saw the little girl holding a small cluster of red berries in her hand, grinning and cheerfully saying: "Red fruit!"

With that, her chubby hand forcefully plucked the berries and moved them toward her mouth.

"Oh my God!"

Yi Meng screamed in fright, abandoning the sickle in her hand, rushing forward to stop her daughter from eating indiscriminately.

Unfortunately, her speed couldn’t match the little girl’s pace of eating.

As the little girl stuffed the red berries into her mouth, smacking her lips twice, she promptly started crying.

"Manbao, quick, spit it out, spit it out!"

Frightened beyond words, Yi Meng clutched her child’s arm, frantically tapping her back with her other hand.

Qi Manman spat repeatedly while crying, continuously shouting: "Bitter, bitter!"

"Why must you put everything in your mouth?"

Ai Zhaodi was equally frantic, and without thinking, suddenly pulled over her son who hadn’t finished dressing: "Xiao Shi, hurry and pee! Boy’s urine can detoxify!"

"Wah!"

Qi Manman cried even harder upon hearing she might have to drink Brother Shi’s urine.

The children’s cries carried loudly, stopping the main group in the distance, and prompting the Qi Family to run over frantically.

Mrs. Qi dismounted from the cart, but due to her age, tumbled to the ground.

Qi Dafu, who had initially rushed ahead, quickly turned back to help his mother only to receive a slap: "Why are you tending to your mother? Go check on Manbao!"

Having scolded her eldest son, Mrs. Qi wailed: "Oh my sweet darling! Granny’s Manbao!"

The old lady clutched her eldest son’s arm, continuing to run forward.

Though her steps were still unstable, with her eldest son as support, she didn’t actually fall.

Qi Quanjin arrived first: "Meng Niang, what happened? What’s wrong with Manbao?"

"She ate some kind of berry, and after that started crying."

Yi Meng spoke while crying, still patting her child’s back.

Qi Ercai, who arrived next, quickly took his waist flask: "Quick, rinse the child’s mouth!"

Yi Meng suddenly realized she’d forgotten this measure, taking the flask and bringing it towards Qi Manman’s lips: "Good girl, rinse your mouth, rinsing your mouth will take away the bitterness."

"No, no drinking Brother Shi’s urine, hiccup!"

Qi Manman was crying so hard she started hiccuping, her round face scrunched up, her small body radiating strong resistance.

"Alright, alright, no drinking, rinse your mouth quickly."

Yi Meng was too anxious to say anything else, desperately hoping her little girl hadn’t swallowed the berry juice yet.

Qi Manman took a small sip of water, gargled a few times, then spit it out, still making a bitter face: "Mom, bitter."

"Manbao, what’s wrong?"

Mrs. Qi finally arrived too, while the rest of the Qi clan had already surrounded them.

"Grandma, Manbao is bitter, my mouth is bitter."

Seeing Mrs. Qi, Qi Manman immediately reached out for a hug, her pitiable expression hurt Mrs. Qi deeply.

Mrs. Qi held her granddaughter, sharing tears: "Not bitter, not bitter, Granny will give you candy to eat."

"Mom, let’s not discuss this now. I need to quickly take Manbao to Doctor Qin, the child ate something unknown and keeps crying about bitterness."

Qi Quanjin said, moving to take his daughter.

Mrs. Qi was startled, promptly handing over the child, urging to find a doctor quickly.

At this moment, Yin Cheng approached, speaking loudly: "Why seek Doctor Qin? Am I, an actual doctor, just decoration?"

Seriously, he is after all the city’s doctor, why does this group only seek out Qin Minglang?

Upon hearing this, Qi Quanjin’s eyes lit up, hurriedly bringing his child to greet Yin Cheng: "Doctor Yin, please look at my daughter to see what happened."

Though feeling irked that everyone only thinks of seeking his junior, Yin Cheng adored this soft little girl from the Qi Family, promptly holding her arm to check her pulse.

He checked once, found no issues.

Switched wrists, checked again, still no problem.

"Little girl, open your mouth for Grandpa to have a look."

Yin Cheng spoke sternly to others, without warmth, but remained patient with little Qi Manman.

Qi Manman blinked her wet eyes, hiccuped, then opened her mouth with an "ah."

Yin Cheng leaned in for a close look and sniff, then frowned.

Seeing him frown, everyone around held their breath.

Mrs. Qi’s legs buckled, nearly falling, urgently asked: "Doctor Yin, what’s wrong with my granddaughter?"

"Yes, Doctor Yin, what’s happened to my daughter? Please tell us!"

Qi Quanjin grew increasingly anxious, turning red-eyed.
