"Xiao Hai, My Xiao Hai" It seemed that she could not break free, and it seemed that the precious child had disappeared. Lan'er stopped struggling and just called her son's name weakly.
The shop owner and his wife pulled her to sit on a stool. One of them gently patted her back to give her warmth and strength, while the other quickly poured water for her to drink, trying to wake the child up.
"Dad, what's wrong with her?" AnAn's voice suddenly rang out in the lobby, causing Lan'er, who had been muttering her son's name, to tremble and stand up suddenly, "Xiao Hai."
The owner moved too hastily and the cups in his hands fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
Gulan said secretly "Oh no", and sure enough, the next moment, Lan'er, who was not in a clear mind, appeared in front of their table. Gulan and the others had all seen the previous scene, and they knew that the woman was not in a clear mind. Although they felt a little sympathetic, they had never thought that it would be their turn so soon. Almost the moment the woman turned around, Gulan stood up to protect her son, and Xiang Yunjin did the same.
Unexpectedly, Lan'er did not hug the child madly as she did before when she saw the child. Instead, she looked at this and that, and for a moment she was a little undecided. She looked at the children at the table with dull eyes, especially Erya and AnAn, who she looked at the longest.
"Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai" Lan'er reached out to AnAn, and then to Erya, it seemed that she couldn't tell the difference.
The shop owner and his wife came over the next moment, looked at Gulan and the others with an apologetic look on their faces, and quickly reached out to grab their daughter, wanting to take her away. Unfortunately, Lan'er refused to cooperate and struggled again, staring straight at Erya and AnAn.
"Lan'er, I'm your father. Look, I'm really your father. I'm telling you, that's not Xiao Hai. Be good! Listen to me and go back with your mother." The shop owner tried to persuade his daughter and wake her up, but it didn't work. Lan'er still looked at the two children persistently with a flattering smile on her dull face. Perhaps the owner's voice had some effect. Except for not retracting her gaze, she no longer struggled. Just when the couple took this opportunity to pull their daughter back, Lan'er took advantage of their unpreparedness and suddenly pulled out her hands and ran towards AnAn.
The moment dhe reached out to AnAn again, she was grabbed by the man and trapped in front of.
"He is not your son, wake up." Gulan said with a frown. Gulan thought the woman would struggle violently, but unexpectedly, she turned her eyes to Gulan when she heard Gulan voice.
She stared at Gulan blankly for a moment with her eyes wide open, then suddenly opened her eyes and smiled brilliantly, hugging Gulan back. This action scared Gulan so much that she quickly pushed her back, finally stopping the woman from hugging her back.
I couldn't help but feel lucky that she reacted quickly. Although she is a woman at heart, no one knows it. She appears to be a man. It would be hard to say what would happen if she was really hugged by this woman.
The woman, Lan'er, didn't care at all and still rushed forward with all her might. Fortunately, her parents pulled her back in time.
"Dad, it's my husband." Lan'er looked at Gulan and smiled happily.
The shop owner was about to happy when he heard his daughter calling Gulan "Husband", but he was no longer happy after hearing the next words. He thought the child was awake.
"Dad, my husband is back with my son. Oops, I forgot to tidy myself up. Will my husband dislike me?" Lan'er looked at herself in panic.
(i still confused when translate this part)
"No, he won't dislike you. Have you forgotten how good your husband is to you?" As a mother, how could she bear to see her daughter worried? She hurried to comfort her.
It was because the son-in-law was so good to her daughter that the child couldn't get over the accident. The middle-aged woman couldn't help crying when she thought about it.
"Yes, my husband said that no matter what I become, he will never despise me, never despise me." Lan'er's panicked expression calmed down a little, and then she looked at Gulan with a bright smile.
"Husband, you've worked hard all the way. You must be tired. Come sit down and drink some water." As she said that, Lan'er looked at the table and didn't see any water. She immediately became anxious again.
"Where's the water? Why is there no water? I want water. My husband is thirsty and needs to drink water." She began to struggle again while being held.
"Good, water, Dad will get you some water." The owner let go of his daughter and quickly went back to the counter to get a pot of water, along with some cups.
"The water is here, don't worry!" As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for his daughter. His deep love for his daughter made the viewers feel sad.
Seeing that, Lan'er was happy. She hurriedly brought the water to Gulan and said,
"Husband, drink some water quickly." Lan'er eyes were filled with attachment to her husband.
"Husband..." Seeing that Gulan didn't take it, Lan'er got anxious again, "Husband, why don't you drink? Aren't you thirsty?" Lan'er looked at Gulan sadly, "Did Lan'er do something wrong?"
Seeing that she was about to go crazy again, Gulan quickly took the water, and Lan'er's mood quickly turned from cloudy to sunny.
"Husband, have you sold all the things this time? Are you here to pick me up? Wait for me, I'll go back to pack up and we'll go home." Lan'er's eyes became brighter as she spoke, and then she broke free from her mother's hand and ran across the lobby to the backyard.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly chased after her, and the panicked nodded apologetically and followed Lan'er. Not long after, the owner appeared in the lobby again and went straight to Gulan's table.
"I'm sorry to disturb you while you're eating," the owner bowed slightly to express his apology.
"My child has been traumatized and her mind is not clear at times. I didn't expect that she would suddenly fall ill. I'm sorry for scaring you guys. Let me give you another dish as an apology." The owner said embarrassedly.
"No, these dishes are enough for us. Any more would be a waste." Gulan declined. Although it did disturb them, it did not cause any harm. For a sick person, these behaviors were not something she could control. Gulan did not intend to pursue the matter, but she did need to keep a closer eye on her.
"Yes, yes, just wait a minute, it will be ready in a moment." The shop owner quickly ran to the kitchen.
"I don't know when Lan will get better."
After the owner left, people at a table not far from Gulan's table couldn't help but start chatting, and from the sound of their voices, they knew the owner.
"Poor Old Meng has only this one daughter, and all the money he earns is spent on her. If she doesn't get better, what will this old couple do for the rest of their lives?"
"Yes! It's fate. Who would have thought that he would run into robbers when he came back from selling things? I just felt sorry for the child. He insisted on going with his father, but he never came back."
"I wonder if the government has caught the robbers?" the person who spoke sighed.
"Definitely not, otherwise Old Meng would have known about it. There are too many Panshan Mountains. After the incident, the robbers disappeared into the mountains long ago. The government couldn't do anything about it. They didn't even know where they were hiding. The possibility of catching them is extremely small."
"It's also Lan's fault that her husband knew that road was unsafe, but he took a chance just to get back early. The result was..."
"Yes! It's a pity that Lan couldn't get over it after seeing the body of her child and her husband. It also made Mr. and Mrs. Meng suffer."
"No more talking, let's drink this cup and eat quickly. We have to go back to work after eating!" After sighing, the oldest middle-aged man among them said.
"Yeah."
