Chapter 27: Each Had Their Own Thoughts

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation....
The jade bead was as big as Gu Xin’s little finger.
She had forgotten about the jade bead when she woke up this morning. Why did it suddenly appear again?
But no one answered her question.
She pinched it with her hand. Just like last night, it was very soft and elastic.
“Little Fish, Little Fish, what is this bead for?” Gu Xin asked in a low voice.
The jade fish appeared in her palm, but it was not as talkative as the Little Carp under the waterfall!
“Ah! I forgot the one I had last night!” Gu Xin suddenly remembered that the jade bead from last night was still on the bed.
She went to her room from the backyard ditch and looked around. Where was the jade bead?
Little Fish spat out a total of three jade beads. The first one was accidentally dropped into the foot-washing water, and the second one was clearly not lost. Where did it go?
Gu Xin looked at the third jade bead in her hand and didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Hearing the sound of vegetables being cut in the kitchen, Gu Xin didn’t think much about it. She put the jade bead under her pillow and rushed to the kitchen to help with the fire.
Gu Xin was a little distracted until dinner time.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian, these two strange souls, felt a little guilty.
Cai Xiaolian: Could it be that when I was lighting the fire, it hadn’t been lit, so Xin Xin had noticed something was wrong and suspected something?
Gu Nian: Could it be that my knife skills were too good and didn’t match the original owner’s character, so she was confident that something was wrong and suspected something?
Gu Xin: What was that jade bead used for? Where did the one from last night go? Could it be that the magical Little Carp’s gift could fly?
The mother and daughter finished their breakfast with their own thoughts. Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian were sweating from the meal.
It wasn’t that they were afraid that Gu Xin would see through them, but they didn’t know how to face the sad reality of losing her parents and sister.
Out of habit, Gu Xin wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Cai Xiaolian. “I’ll do it, Xin Xin. Go wash up. Your sister and I have washed up.”
“Oh, okay, Mother. I’ll go feed the chickens.” Gu Xin did not push like before, mainly because she wanted to run back to the room to see if the jade bead had disappeared like last night.
She went back to the room and opened the pillow. Well, the jade bead was still there.
Gu Xin picked it up and looked at it in her hand for a while. She didn’t see any results, so she put it back.
Then she picked it up again and decided to put it on her body.
Her clothes couldn’t be worn by her sister, but they were too big to wear on her body. She learned to fold up her sleeves and trouser legs by herself, leaving a hole where she could put some small things in her sleeves.
After she was done, she went to feed the chicken.
The chicken food was like wild vegetables. She chopped it up and put it in the basin, adding some water to mix it.
When she added water, Gu Xin’s sleeve was a little wet. She shook it, and the jade bead was thrown out by her and fell into the chicken food basin.
Just like last night when she washed her feet, the jade bead fell into the water.
“Aiya!” Gu Xin cried out gloomily.
“What’s wrong?” Cai Xiaolian came out of the kitchen and asked with concern.
“Nothing, Mom. My sleeve is just a little wet,” Gu Xin turned her head and answered.
“Then you should change your clothes after feeding. Don’t catch a cold.” Cai Xiaolian was relieved.
The jade bead had already melted, so Gu Xin could only feed the chickens in the pen.
