Chapter 760: Chapter 765 Freak_1
The ones who came out were Gu’s Clan, Wu Youcai’s wife, and Grandma Feng, the midwife. Both of their faces looked rather pale.
The child born was too horrifying; the child had no arms but had three legs.
They didn’t want to talk too much, as freaks are an ill omen.
But they couldn’t stand the crowd’s questioning, so Gu reluctantly gave a vague answer.
"It was a formed boy, such a pity, but it’s better he wasn’t born, as the child was a little deformed."
Gu’s face turned even paler.
She had seen quite a bit of the world alongside her husband, but this time she was truly frightened.
Grandma Feng also sighed, "Hurry up and bury the child, remember to burn more paper money, such a sin!"
This situation must mean that the adults did something that defied heaven, and the retribution fell upon the child.
As for Ruo Lan, if she recuperates well, she might still have a chance to be a mother.
Qiao Duo’er seized on the key point in their conversation, "Aunt, Granny, you’ve seen so many children, can you tell me when a child can take form?"
As far as she knew, a child’s facial features only started to form after four months.
Grandma Feng thought carefully before she said, "A little over four months but not yet five."
"That’s not right, the child should have been conceived in the late twelfth month, and it’s only the middle of the third month now; by all accounts, it’s not even three months."
Gu said, furrowing her brow.
There had been frequent problems with the child, and it was always her husband who attended to them; she knew the child’s age better than anyone.
It was just that the sight of the deformed infant had shocked her so much that she hadn’t thought of this issue right away.
Grandma Feng pondered with a frown, "It’s strange, I feel the child was indeed almost five months old, just underdeveloped."
"Ruo Lan’s child is lost, and you still slander her like this!"
Granny Liu said, glaring angrily at Gu and Grandma Feng.
These two had always been on good terms with Qiao Duo, and they must have colluded together.
Destroying Ruo Lan’s reputation would serve their purpose!
"We have no grudge against Ruo Lan, why should we talk nonsense?" Gu said indignantly. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She had only glimpsed the child once, but she would never forget it for the rest of her life!
Every visit to the Liu family was thankless; they did the work but didn’t see a penny of hard-earned money, and they got nothing but blame.
Where could she voice her grievances?
If it weren’t for her husband’s constant reminder of "the healer’s parental heart," she wouldn’t have bothered coming.
Grandma Feng said with furrowed brows, "Hurry up and arrange the child’s afterlife, say some nice words, let him go where he belongs."
"Hmph, I think you just want to destroy the evidence!"
Granny Liu snatched the red cloth bundle from Grandma Feng’s arms and quickly unwrapped it to reveal a palm-sized child.
She wanted to see how a not-yet-three-month-old child had developed facial features!
But what everyone discussed was not the child’s facial features, but the child’s deformity.
"My God, how could this happen?"
"This is a demon, it’s over, Big Willow Village is doomed!"
"Don’t talk nonsense, the weather has been good these last two years, and this year’s wheat is growing well, it won’t be the end."
"Have you forgotten what happened twenty years ago? That summer, the oldest daughter-in-law from the Ling Family gave birth to a freak, and soon after, it snowed. All the crops in the field died, and the Ling Family was murdered."
"The Ling family was really pitiful, mauled by wild dogs so badly before anyone found them."
"Never mind whether it’s the Ling family or not, another freak has been born, we’d better think about what to do!"
