Chapter 16: Lucky Baby

Translator: Vicky_

“Haha, to tell you the truth, I just got lucky.”

Su Hu’s face was red and he also seemed dizzy; therefore, he could not speak quickly. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Dashan. They saw the wild boar hit the tree and died with their own eyes.”

Li Dashan was the son of the village head. When he heard the news in the morning, he went to the foothill of the mountain with two other hunters in the village and helped Su Hu carry the wild boar back.

At that moment, Li Dashan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he nodded and smiled. “Su Hu is really lucky. People seldom meet such a big wild boar in the deep mountains and forests. However, he met one at the foot of the mountain where there were a lot of hunters.”

“Haha!”

Su Hu’s eyes lit up. He patted his chest hard as he said, “Well, actually, I am lucky only because of Yuyu. Yuyu brought good luck to my family. She must be a blessed baby girl.”

“Yuyu? When did you have a baby again?”

The village head was confused. He just asked the question that other men around also wanted to ask.

“Yesterday. I just met her.”

Su Hu giggled and said, “God presented her to my family. Yuyu’s good luck made me meet a wild boar.”

“Yuyu? Is that the baby girl they picked up in the river yesterday?”

Su Hu spoke loudly and patted his chest. The village women nearby could hear clearly and started talking about the incident.

“How can that girl be blessed? I don’t believe it. Her biological parents don’t want her. Was that lucky?”

“I think so. He must be bragging!”

“My Yuyu is blessed!”

Hearing their conversations, Li Xiu’e rushed out of the kitchen and shouted loudly with a spoon in her hand.

“Whether you believe that she is blessed or not, Yuyu has been a member of our family since yesterday, and no one is allowed to speak ill of her behind my back. Otherwise, I will really get angry.”

“Well, Xiu’e, don’t be mad at them. They always like to talk behind people’s backs. There is no need to argue with them.”

“Mrs. Liu is such a pain in the ass. She can’t stop talking while eating the meat. Her words always make people angry.”

Two women who were close to Li Xiu’e came out of the kitchen and tried to calm Li Xiu’e down in a low voice. One of them pulled her arm back.

“My wife is right. Today, I, Su Hu, took this opportunity to officially announce that I will adopt Yuyu.”

Hearing the noises of women, Su Hu slammed the table and stood up to say something to support his wife.

“Someone who dares to gossip behind our back and say bad things about our Yuyu is against me, Su Hu. I swear that I will never forgive whoever dares to bully Yuyu”

“Haha, come on, Su Hu. They are just a bunch of women arguing. You don’t have to be angry. Sit down quickly and let’s continue drinking.”

Li Ershan, the second son of the village head, saw that the situation was getting worse. The man of the Liu family blushed and glared at his wife. Li Ershan was afraid that the two would fight, so he had to come forward to comfort Su Hu.

Li Ershan saved Su Hu’s life from a wolf three years ago. He and Su Hu were like brothers. Therefore, Su Hu had to listen to Li Ershan’s words.

“Well, okay.”

Hearing what Li Ershan said, Su Hu obediently sat down, took up the wine bowl on the table, and drank the remaining wine.

Bang!

Then, he put it on the table violently. The sound shocked all the people around.

The gossipy women, who were waiting for the broth in the corner, shivered with fear and didn’t dare to talk nonsense again.

After this, all the people of Woniu Village knew that Su Hu and his wife liked their children very much and would not let people speak ill of their children. No one dared to talk about Yuyu’s origin from then on.

As Yuyu grew up, Su Hu’s family became more and more prosperous. Their life was getting better, and the title of Lucky Baby became more and more famous and gradually spread to surrounding villages.
