I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Chapter 221 Fate Brings No Grandchildren

Grandma Kui felt a warm current slowly entering her body, and she froze for a moment, as if remembering something. She quickly knelt on the floor and bowed three times to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva was just rambling on! Please don't take what I said to heart. Because I know that I am destined never to have a healthy, chubby child in this life.

Even so, I still haven't given up! I've traveled to many places to pray to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, for a child. I vow to be a vegetarian and do good deeds for the rest of my life, doing everything in my power to help those in need.

After saying these words to Guanyin Bodhisattva, Granny Kui bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva again.

Okay, okay! Is there anything else you wish for that I can grant? You can tell me two more wishes.

Grandma Kui raised her head and shook it at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

That's all! My greatest wish in this life is to have a child of my own. I have no other desires, because I know that greed is hell.

Hmm! Since you are so devoted to Buddhism, I will grant you a pair of twins, a boy and a girl! The twins are growing slowly inside you now. You must raise them well and not let those with ill intentions harm them.

When Granny Kui heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva had bestowed upon her a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, she immediately bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Guanyin Bodhisattva, I am truly grateful for the twins you have bestowed upon me. I vow to be a vegetarian for life from this day forward! Whenever I see someone in need, I will do everything in my power to help them.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped forward and helped Granny Kui up from the floor. Just as she was about to gently pat the dust off Granny Kui's body, Granny Kui stopped her.

Alright! Grandma Kui, didn't you just tell me you wanted to turn these mushrooms into a delicious dish and send it to the villagers?

Yes, yes, yes! I'll grind the dried mushrooms into powder using a powdering agent.

Oh no! I don't have any glutinous rice flour at home. What should I do? I think if we add some glutinous rice flour to the mushroom powder, the resulting meatballs will be even softer, chewier, and sweeter!

Hmm! That's a great suggestion! Could you tell me why you wanted to add some glutinous rice flour to the mushroom powder?

That's because there are many elderly women and men in their seventies and eighties in our village, and their teeth aren't very good! I thought if I added some glutinous rice flour to the mushroom powder, then the elderly women and men in their seventies and eighties could eat the mushroom balls.

After saying this, Grandma Kui turned around and walked into a room specifically used for storing grain. After a while, she took out a bag of glutinous rice flour from inside.

Just as she was about to open the bag she was holding to show Guanyin Bodhisattva, her mother-in-law suddenly ran out of the house. Without saying a word, she snatched the glutinous rice flour from her mother-in-law's hand.

What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, this is the only bag of glutinous rice flour we have! I'm warning you seriously, don't do anything foolish!

As Grandma Kui's mother-in-law said this, she pointed at Grandma Kui with her finger and said loudly.

But Grandma, look, our village is suffering from a severe famine! Many people have died. Since we have a lot of food at home, we should share it with everyone.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Kui's mother-in-law raised one of her arms, intending to slap Grandma Kui across the face, but she felt her hand being tightly gripped.

Who are you? I advise you to mind your own business, this is my family's internal affair! Also, please leave my house immediately, but you must leave me the weeds you just brought to my house to dry.

Mother-in-law! Why would you stand by and watch someone die? Wouldn't it be better to do one more good deed to bring more blessings to the baby in my womb?

Haha! I've noticed you're getting more and more shameless! How dare you mention children in front of me? Don't you even consider how many years you've been married into my family? Have you ever given birth to a son or daughter for my son?

Do you know the saying, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no descendants"? If I only have your husband as my son, wouldn't our family line end?

Mother-in-law! Don't I feel heartbroken that I can't conceive? Do you know how often I hide under the covers at night and cry my heart out? But what good is it for me to be so distressed about not being able to have children?

Then you should learn to be more sensible! Since you can't have children in this life, you should take the initiative to ask my son for a divorce, instead of clinging to him and refusing to let go.

Mother-in-law, have you ever heard the saying, "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage"? Let alone your son and daughter-in-law's marriage! You know...

Hey! Are you bored and looking for trouble, young lady? I don't even know you! What right do you have to meddle in my business?

After Grandma Kui's mother-in-law finished speaking, she forcefully pushed Guanyin Bodhisattva to the ground.

Seeing this, Granny Kui quickly ran behind Guanyin Bodhisattva and pounced on the floor. Guanyin Bodhisattva landed steadily on Granny Kui's body.

At that moment, a large amount of blood flowed from Granny Kui's thigh, and Granny Kui covered her stomach with her hands.

Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Please, you must save my child!

I shouldn't have talked back to you just now! Do you know how much I've suffered over the years in order to conceive a child smoothly? I know why you've been suggesting to me lately that I divorce my husband?

I know why my husband hasn't come home during this time! It's because he's had a child with another woman, isn't it?

You! You! You! When did you find out you were pregnant? Why didn't you tell me sooner?

That way, I won't force you to divorce my son anymore! We've been together for so many years, you should know that I'm not such a heartless person.

Actually, I don't want to always be so harsh and nitpicky with you! As the saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. I, as your mother-in-law, understand this principle!

But whenever I go out to play and see people my age taking their adorable grandchildren out to play, I feel very envious of them.
