Mi Juanxi felt like perhaps she might be dreaming so she closed her eyes for a second and opened it once more and indeed her mother was right before her.
She sat on a chair and behind her stood a man who seemed older than her mother a few years.
"Juanxi... you're back?", The woman had a faint smile on her face, she had missed her daughter very much and wanted to stand up and embrace her daughter however she was too weak to do so.
"Mom...", A tear dropped then the next moment they flowed like a river, in her other life she had lost her mother at a young age and fortunately in this life she had met her again. Even if the woman didn't remember her, Mi Juanxi was sure she was the same woman from her other life.
Mi Juanxi first took a step forward, then she rushed forward and embraced her mother so tightly that the woman started to cough. Mi Juan rushed over there and pulled his sister away.
"Do you now want to suffocate mom to death? What's with all this pretense?", Mi Juan sent a warning gaze to his sister.
"Are you nuts? I missed mom and wanted to hug her for a while? Is that wrong? Get the hell out of my way!", Mi Juanxi pushed Mi Juan aside and squatted beside her mother.
From her memory, she knew that her mother was gravely sick and she needed certain herbs to cure her disease. Unfortunately those herbs could only be found in a certain part of the forest, that part of the forest was very dangerous. No one dared to go into that part of the forest since it was filled with wild animals.
Seeing her cry while chatting with their mother, Mi Juan rolled his eyes and felt like his sister was only pretending.
This wasn't the first time she had behaved like this, whenever she behaved like this it was only because she needed something.
Mi Juanxi's father was a farmer and a hunter however since his wife wasn't feeling well, he stayed home most of the time to take care of his wife.
Mi Juan had not been able to obtain any job so he sometimes went to the market to carry heavy loads for people and sometimes he was either paid in cash or with food.
"Juanxi have you eaten? I prepared dinner earlier, you haven't eaten right? Juan, go serve her some of the dish"
Mi Juan really didn't want to go however he respected his mother very much, he glared at Mi Juanxi before walking out.
Mi Juan soon arrived holding a bowl of soup, he had a smile on his face and winked at her when he handed the bowl to her.
Mi Juanxi had a bad feeling when she saw that mischievous smile on his face.
However there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the soup so she thought that maybe she was overthinking.
Mi Juanxi fetched the soup with the spoon and brought it closer to her lips but paused, she turned to look at her brother once more. He had rested his chin in his palms and was chatting with their mother.
' Maybe I'm really overthinking things right? '
Mi Juanxi took in the soup and she almost spat it out, she turned to stare at her brother, her whole face was red.
Mi Juan lifted an eyebrow pretending not to understand why she was glaring at him, he looked so innocent that anyone would think he really was.
This damn brat had poured lots of salt and pepper into the soup! It was too salty and spicy!
However she didn't dare to stop eating or her mother would think she didn't like her food.
"Sister, isn't mom's soup as nice as always?", Mi Juan pretended to casually ask.
Mi Juanxi didn't want to respond however she saw her mother looking at her expectantly, Mi Juanxi forced herself to swallow the food.
"Hmm mom's soup is the tastiest!", Mi Juanxi forced on a sweet smile.
Mi Juanxi wondered how she was able to survive and actually finish the whole bowl of soup.
Soon it was already getting to midnight so the whole family said goodnight to each other and retired to their rooms.
Her mother and her father shared the same room while her whiles she and her brother shared the same room.
The moment they got to the room, Mi Juanxi kicked her brother at a certain part of his body.
"Ouch!", Mi Juan bent over and winced in pain, since when had his sister become so strong.
"Next time you play such a prank on me I'll kick you harder than that!"
Mi Juanxi laid the worn out mat and laid on it, her brother laid beside her groaning and threatening her however her mind was roaming somewhere else.
How was life in this world going to be? It would definitely not be like her other life right? Right now all she needed was power, so far as she gained power everything was going to be fine.
She had received a warm family and fortunately she had met her mother from her other life, she didn't know much about her new father but she was definitely sure he cared about her.
Since she had a chance to meet her mother then was it possible? Was it possible for her to meet Fe Jung and Xu Feng? Or maybe she was asking for too much? Anyways it was already enough that she had met her mother once more.
The whole evening Mi Juanxi did not sleep, she had running stomach till dawn.
The next morning she woke up having dark eye circles.
