Chapter 1292: Recognizing a Godmother
In a past life, Gougou helped Mengyu escape from Tiger Valley, but was discovered by the Zhou Brothers and thrown off a cliff. When he awoke again, it was the summer of 1980.
In that past life, the woman who always protected him and gave him a mother’s love was sold into Tiger Valley at this time. He was reborn and knew a way out of the mountains. He only wanted to rescue her before she gave birth to that heartless son.
Unexpectedly, the time when she was sold had passed, and she still hadn’t been sold. Instead, a troop came and captured the human traffickers hidden in the village, rescuing those poor women and children who were sold into the village.
At that time, someone suggested that Gougou was also trafficked into the village, but he said he was willing to stay and wasn’t rescued.
He had a feeling that since she wasn’t sold, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance she was also reborn.
If she was reborn, as long as she stabilizes her footing, she would come to take him away. Thus, he endured humiliation and hardship, hoping this woman he regarded as a mother would come to take him away.
Sure enough, his wait wasn’t in vain—she came to take him.
Gougou put on the clothes Mengyu brought him layer by layer. When it came to wearing the heavy cotton coat, he hesitated a bit but still put on the worn coat with exposed cotton.
Mengyu found it strange: "Why aren’t you wearing the new cotton coat?"
Gougou hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I wear the new coat, Mom will keep it for my brother."
Mengyu felt heartache, realizing this child, at only four years old, already knew to wear good clothes underneath to avoid being taken by his foster mother.
She sighed and looked into Gougou’s eyes, asking, "Gougou, would you like to come out with Auntie?"
Gougou had always been waiting for Mengyu to take him away, so how could he refuse? He responded repeatedly, "I would, I would!"
Mengyu reached out to touch his head and said, "Hold on a bit longer, Auntie needs to check on others. I’ll take you when I come back in a couple of days."
Gougou’s eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed forward to hug Mengyu’s legs: "Auntie, I don’t want you to leave!"
"Auntie won’t leave, just temporarily step away."
Thinking for a moment, she pulled out a small treasure bag filled with food from her space and hung it around his neck.
"This pouch is from Auntie. Keep it hidden from everyone. If you’re hungry, just touch this bag and think about the food in it, and the food will appear in your hand."
Gougou found it strange and followed Mengyu’s instructions to touch the bag and think about its contents. Indeed, he "saw" a cubic space inside, filled with jerky, pastries, fruits, and other ready-to-eat foods. He thought of eating an apple, and sure enough, an apple appeared in his hand.
What a miraculous treasure! Yet Auntie just gave it to him like that!
Tears welled up in Gougou’s eyes: Auntie was still the same as in the past life, unconditionally good to him.
Seeing Gougou in tears, Mengyu became nervous, immediately hugging him: "What’s wrong? Auntie isn’t abandoning you. Auntie considers you like her own child. Auntie is just temporarily leaving. When Auntie leaves, she’ll definitely come to get you, so don’t be sad."
Gougou joyfully wiped his eyes: "Auntie, is it true you want me as your son? I also want Auntie to be my mom."
