Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Lin Chunju’s Worries

If one carefully measured, last time’s excessive use of Spiritual Energy wasn’t entirely without benefits.

Yue Qingqing discovered that her meridians seemed to have widened slightly, and although she hadn’t advanced in level, the Spiritual Energy she could mobilize after recovery was more abundant than before.

Indeed, in moments of crisis, one often realizes their potential, which is why many cultivators from her previous life always went out to experience the world, walking on the edge of life and death.

Time quietly slipped away when no one was paying attention, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

Feeling her own weakness, Yue Qingqing practiced with exceptional diligence.

She always tried her best, using pouting, acting cute, and her gaze, to convince the Yue Family to take her outside to better sense the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth.

...

Yue Jiannan originally didn’t dare to take her to the fish pond again, but Lin Chunju forcefully persuaded him to take her out a few times.

As Lin Chunju put it, “If you choke on food once, will you never eat again? Where’s the logic in that?”

Yue Jiannan had no choice but to obediently take Yue Qingqing out, but he didn’t dare leave her side for even a step.

Yue Jiandong and Yue Jianxi were at their wits’ end with Yue Qingqing but occasionally took her to the fields.

She would sit quietly on the cart without crying or fussing, like an old monk in meditation.

This behavior astonished many people, and they marveled that the Yue girl was not ordinary. @@novelbin@@

Beyond sensing Spiritual Energy, Yue Qingqing also heard many local gossips.

For example, the farmland of Wang Jinshun’s family was a great distance from Jin Aijun’s. Wang’s family had only two men, and Wang Jinshun was not very nimble on his feet.

Therefore, he always seemed exhausted during the previous spring plowing, spread too thin.

Some curious folks went to their fields and noticed that both were somewhat hastily tended, probably due to lack of time.

At that time, people sighed that if the Yue Family had taken over that land, they likely would have been quite worn out too.

Now the fish pond was handed over to the third son of the Yue Family, which made things much more convenient.

Others mentioned Zhang Tieniu’s family, the favorite spectacle of the village in their leisure time.

The new bride reportedly fought with Zhang Jinhe just a few days after her marriage, and Zhang Jinhe’s face was nearly scratched.

Yet he refrained from retaliating due to concern for the child in the womb.

The cause of the fights was Niu Lihua.

Initially, everyone said Niu Lihua had gone mad, but after a while, when Niu Lihua appeared again, she seemed not much different.

Only gloomy, without a smile for anyone, who looked as if she had aged by ten years.

She would curl up at the slightest disturbance, constantly mumbling about ghosts and the like, making herself a laughing stock to onlookers.

Zhang Tieniu’s new daughter-in-law said that Niu Lihua had nightmares every night, always jumping out of bed at midnight, speaking of being pressed by a ghost or possessed, which left the whole family in turmoil.

The pregnant daughter-in-law already had difficulty sleeping at night, and such disturbances fueled her anger, urging Zhang Jinhe to consider divorcing daily. But Zhang Jinhe was Zhang Tieniu’s only son, and there was no talk of splitting up.

Besides, the Zhang Family didn’t have the money to build another house.

This was the cause of the physical fights.

Every family had its own joys and sorrows, but for the Yue Family, time seemed to pass even faster.

The two young children at home learned to walk and gradually began to speak some simple words.

Yue Qingqing, fearing exposing herself, followed Yue Xiaohu’s lead completely.

When Yue Xiaohu progressed to shaky but upright walking, Yue Qingqing tentatively took her first steps.

After Yue Xiaohu finally mumbled the words “dad” and “mom,” Yue Qingqing naturally followed suit.

When Zhang Ying heard her daughter’s voice, she held her and cried for a while.

For this poor woman, that call of “mom” was probably the most moving sound in the world.

Walking and talking greatly facilitated Yue Qingqing, allowing her to further expand her range of activity.

From then on, she needed no adult to carry her, as she could walk with her little short legs to the outer courtyard and observe the thin yet real swirl of Spiritual Energy in the air.

The children in the family grew day by day, but this touched upon another concern for Lin Chunju.

The date of Yue Xiaofang’s delivery was drawing nearer!

In recent times, Yue Xiaofang had returned a few times, and each time Ma Jinbao was with her, appearing much more compliant and careful with the Yue Family.

But Lin Chunju didn’t let her guard down in the slightest.

Finally, as the days neared Yue Xiaofang’s expected delivery date, Lin Chunju would lean against the doorway every morning, waiting for news from Jinshan Village.

But no word came from Ma Jinbao’s family…
