A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Chapter 326 The Root Cause of the Disease Has Not Been Eradicated

The coincidence couldn't be more perfect. Wen Meijiu also heard Deng's words and was almost overjoyed. Luckily, she didn't linger for too long. If she had arrived even half a step later, Wang Baoquan would probably have noticed the flaw.

She's had a tough time these past few days, pretending to be Niu Niu's mother and then the fake witch doctor. If it weren't for her good acting skills, superb "disguise" techniques, and ability to imitate voices and vocal cords, she would have been discovered long ago.

Of course, Ma Rulan also played a part in this. In order to rescue her cousin, she volunteered to bring food to Niu Niu.

Although she said she was bringing food to Niu Niu, Wen Meijiu had already guessed that Wang Baoquan was mean to Niu Niu and would definitely not give such good food to Niu Niu. She thought that the family would eat it themselves. Based on this, she put some medicine in it and made the family fall into a deep sleep.

To prevent Fatty Tiger from eating it, she went to great lengths to adjust the flavor, adding a lot of salt. As expected, given Wang Baoquan's personality, he didn't throw it away, and the whole family ate it.

"Hurry up, let's go back and see your cousin!"

Wen Meijiu whispered to Niu Niu, then grabbed the two children and ran away quickly.

Wang Baoquan's family was overjoyed. They quickly picked up Pang Hu from the village chief's car and took him to their own. The whole family circled around the child, asking him questions.

"Tiger, tell Grandpa, how do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything, except I'm still a little sleepy and I'm really hungry."

Fat Tiger squinted, opening and closing his eyes intermittently, wondering why the whole family was surrounding him like this.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mrs. Deng was even more afraid that her son might be harmed, so she squeezed in front of Fatty Tiger and rushed to ask him.

"If you feel unwell anywhere, tell Grandma right away."

Chen, afraid of being left behind, also stuck her head out to ask, her head almost touching Deng's.

"Stop arguing, all of you. I'll ask you. Go and prepare some food for Tiger. Didn't you hear him say he's hungry?"

Wang Baoquan was pushed aside and felt very dissatisfied. He reached out and pushed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law aside, and even assigned them tasks.

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dissatisfied with Wang Baoquan, they still grumbled and pushed each other as they went about their work.

Only Wang Baoquan and his son Wang Laishuan remained. Knowing that his son wouldn't dare to interrupt him, Wang Baoquan continued to ask:

"Besides being hungry, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Fat Tiger was half-awake from the noise his grandfather had made. He opened his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Baoquan, darted his eyes back and forth, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's a bit hot. The place my mom took me to is much better. It's magically clean and cool there."

This place is all dirt, a dilapidated world, nothing like the space Wen Meijiu took him to.

Fat Tiger dared to say that it was the best place he had ever seen in his life.

He felt a little regretful when he thought about it. Why did he fall asleep so quickly? If he hadn't fallen asleep, he could have stayed there for much longer.

Why didn't he ask how to get there?

"Where did your mother take you?"

Upon hearing the words "my mother," Wang Baoquan's face turned deathly pale again. This child was talking nonsense again, and he must be talking about that female ghost—Niu Niu's mother.

Wang Baoquan's legs went a little weak and he almost fell backward. Wang Laishuan, who was standing next to him, quickly reached out to support him.

"father."

Wang Laishuan quickly called out, and Wang Baoquan regained his senses and woke up from his dizziness.

He had barely regained his footing when he was still a little unwilling to give up. His eldest grandson had already woken up, hadn't he?

Didn't that sorceress Wang say that sending Niu Niu away would be enough?

Why is Fat Tiger still mentioning that female ghost? Is she still haunting him?

He considered a thousand possibilities in his mind, but finally wiped the cold sweat from his face and, with great determination, told Fat Tiger:

"Tiger, that's not your mother. You only have one mother, remember that."

Fat Tiger was also terrified, and suddenly realized he hadn't lost anything, his eyes widening in shock.

He had never seen his grandfather like this before, and he nodded vigorously.

"Remember, that's not my mother, that's Niu Niu's mother."

Wang Baoquan, who had just caught his breath, almost choked back his breath with Pang Hu's words, and pinched his philtrum hard for a long time.

Wang Laishuan turned around and scolded Pang Hu:

"Look how angry you've made your grandpa. From now on, Niu Niu's mother is not allowed to mention him again, understand?"

Fat Tiger's body jolted instantly, and his hands trembled slightly. He was always the most pampered one in the family, but today, for some reason, everyone was being fierce towards him, even though he hadn't lied.

He lowered his head in grievance, secretly shedding many tears. Fat Tiger was extremely sad.

When Wang Laishuan refused to listen, he became even angrier. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Baoquan stopped him with a gesture.

"Stop scolding Hu Zi. It's good that he's awake. It's better than him remaining unconscious. Let's take things one step at a time."

Raising an eyebrow and letting out a soft sigh, Wang Baoquan waved his hand, afraid of frightening Pang Hu and making his eldest grandson even more confused.

"Dad, I think he's fine."

Wang Laishuan felt that his father had overreacted.

"You don't understand, you've never met Granny Wang."

The old woman vanished in front of him in an instant, and he felt that it was truly a divine intervention to guide him.

Now that Fat Tiger has woken up, it further proves that what Granny Wang said was true. As for Fat Tiger mentioning the female ghost again, he feels that something was not done properly, leaving him with a lingering illness.

Saying they'd take it long-term was all a lie. Wang Baoquan truly felt that Wen Meijiu was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Who knew if Pang Hu would relapse and he'd have to ask her for help again? After all, he needed Niu Niu for some kind of ritual, and Niu Niu was with her.

Man proposes, God disposes; Wang Baoquan felt his life was miserable.

Soon, Deng and Chen brought over some corn porridge, along with some pickled vegetables, cut into small pieces and placed in a black porcelain bowl.

Because of the tight schedule and the fact that they had just stopped on their journey, they couldn't make more delicious food. They could only make something simple to fill Fatty Tiger's stomach first.

Small tables were set up in front of Fat Tiger. Fat Tiger glanced at the corn porridge in front of him, pouted in disgust, stretched his neck to look at the black porcelain bowl on the other side, and finally slumped down like a deflated balloon.

"I don't want to eat it, I want popcorn."

Fat Tiger pushed the bowl of corn porridge forward, turned his head angrily, and started throwing a tantrum.

All the popcorn had been eaten by the other children, so there was nowhere left for him to have some.

The whole family looked at each other, pursed their lips, and remained silent.

"Why eat popcorn? You'll go hungry if you don't eat rice."

It was Wang Laishuan, the father and the manager, who silenced Pang Hu with a single roar.

Seeing that Fat Tiger silently picked up his chopsticks, he had no temper at all.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so hot that you're panting after just a few steps. The riverbeds in the places we pass by are all dried up and there's not a drop of water.

"Someone fainted."
