Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2200: Chapter 2198: We Are Family

Late at night, Bai Ruozhu coaxed Little Dengdeng to sleep. She had been in a state of nervous tension throughout the day, and she unconsciously fell asleep, too.

Seeing that the mother and son were both asleep, Jiang Yichun finally relaxed his furrowed brow and quietly walked to their side, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Bai Ruozhu.

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch her sleeping face, but ultimately pulled it back.

He only had three years to live, and he couldn’t risk Ruozhu and the child’s safety for his own selfish desires.

After he died, the child would still need to be brought up by Ruozhu. He couldn’t let anything happen to her.

Thinking of this, he turned away, took a quilt, laid it out outside the Space cabin, and simply slept on the ground.

Early the next morning, when Bai Ruozhu woke up, she saw Jiang Yichun sleeping outside, and she felt even more indignant. At a time like this, he couldn’t say something nice to coax her? At the very least, he should insist on staying in the room to accompany them, the mother and child, right? Instead, he hid outside as if she were a plague, did he think she was a tigress?

Immediately, a thought flashed in her mind. Could Achun have some illness that prevents him from being close to them? Is that why he’s fleeing, using Fo Lanying as an excuse?

Could it be that the Evil Energy from before hasn’t been completely cleared away? Is he afraid it would affect their child?

Truth be told, Bai Ruozhu was partly correct, but she hadn’t guessed that it wasn’t Evil Energy at all. Rather, it was the terrifying effect of the Curse power in Jiang Yichun’s bloodline interacting with the Blood Curse of a Thousand.

In his deep sleep, Jiang Yichun had a dream. He dreamt that he was swimming in a vast blue ocean. He turned his head and found that his legs had turned into a fishtail, and he was swimming in the sea using it.

However, he wasn’t afraid; on the contrary, he felt incredibly happy. At this moment, he heard giggles from behind, turned back, and saw Little Dengdeng swimming over. Little Dengdeng’s tail was sticking out of the water, and he discovered that his son’s legs had also turned into a fishtail!

Behind them were Little Bengbeng and Little Tiaotiao, who also had grown fishtails and were swimming towards him in the sea, shouting, ”Dad, come play with us, come play with us!”

Jiang Yichun suddenly awoke from the dream, sitting up abruptly. How could it be like this? He was terrified into a cold sweat. He had the Merfolk Bloodline, so would his son also have the Merfolk Bloodline?

He had once asked that monk, and the monk had said that since it wasn’t a pure Merfolk union, the bloodline would become more diluted, and the Curse power would become weaker. Ultimately, they might not even have the bloodline’s curse, but whether they do or not would depend on luck.

Just as Jiang Yichun, who originally had only a fifty percent chance of inheriting the Vein Curse, found that the Blood Curse of a Thousand had triggered his bloodline curse, leading to the current situation.

His three children should have even more diluted Merfolk Bloodline, maybe less than thirty percent. He had prayed many times, hoping the children wouldn’t have the Vein Curse. He didn’t want them to only live until thirty, no matter how young and beautiful they would be in their lives. living for just thirty years, how many years could you accompany your beloved? Could you see your grandchildren born? You couldn’t even watch your children grow up.

But what does this dream suggest? Is he just worrying too much, causing these dreams, or does it foretell something?

Bai Ruozhu noticed his movements, walked out of the door, and saw his terrified expression, his forehead seeped with sweat. She couldn’t help feeling distressed, so she walked over and released his mute acupoint.

”What’s wrong with you? Where are you feeling unwell?” Bai Ruozhu asked softly.

Jiang Yichun, shocked by the fishtails of the three children in the dream, was in complete collapse. When Bai Ruozhu asked, he suddenly hugged her.

”Ruozhu, what should we do? I have harmed you and our children. I should have died long ago!” he said painfully, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, making Bai Ruozhu even more heartbroken.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask what was going on, but fearing he would suddenly tense up and refuse to talk about it, she ended up just holding him, giving him warmth, and patiently listening to him pour his heart out bit by bit.

After a while, she realized her face was wet. She just realized she had been crying. This embrace was so warm, making her miss it dearly.

Even though the two had only been apart for about a month, both felt it had been far, far too long, with thoughts surging like a flood breaking a dam.

”I just had a dream where the children inherited my bloodline. What should we do? Will they end up like me?” Jiang Yichun spoke slowly, haltingly, without clarity. Bai Ruozhu could only catch the general idea but didn’t understand what he meant by bloodline.

”I’ve already caused you to get the Curse. I can’t harm our three children. What should I do now?” he said in pain and confusion, his life a gloomy abyss.

Bai Ruozhu just held him tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, and after a long while, whispered, ”We are a family, no matter what happens, we will not be apart.”

Jiang Yichun suddenly pushed her away, frightened, ”No, you are still young, and the children are small. You should live happily and joyfully without being stuck with me!”

”Fool, without you, the children and I won’t have happiness. Stop thinking for now, get some rest, maybe you’ll find a way when you wake up,” Bai Ruozhu said softly and then quietly pressed his sleep acupoint.

His emotions were too unstable, which might harm his body. Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to let him sleep first, and he would calm down after waking up.

She helped him back to bed to sleep with Little Dengdeng, and looking at the strikingly similar sleeping faces of the father and son, she couldn’t help but wipe her eyes. What exactly was Achun experiencing?

She reached out to wipe away the tears on his face. It’s often said that men don’t cry easily, which showed how heartbroken he was over this matter.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and took the sleeping father and son out, settling them on the Inn’s bed.

She quietly opened the room door and went to Gao Zhou’s room.

Gao Zhou, who was snoring in his sleep, was suddenly yanked up. Startled, he instinctively covered his vitals, as if fearing someone was going to take advantage of him.

When he realized it was Bai Ruozhu, he immediately said, ”What are you doing? Breaking into someone else’s room early in the morning? How can you barge in like this when I’m your father-in-law? Can’t you avoid suspicion?”

Bai Ruozhu threw him back on the bed, switched to twisting his ear, and said fiercely, ”Still sleeping? I’ve already found out, his bloodline harmed him, and it’s all your fault!”

Frightened, Gao Zhou shivered, and his ear was twisted painfully, ”You, you know?”

”He’s already confessed. What do you plan to do now? Are you just going to watch him suffer?” Bai Ruozhu had only grasped two key pieces of information, and she deliberately downplayed crucial points to probe words from Gao Zhou.
