" Mai, go and get Grandma Fang," as the Yu family along with the mers and the Wang family reached the foot of the mountain Yu Dong asked Yu Mai to bring Grandma Fang since Grandma Fang lived on the foot of the mountain, Yu Dong didn't see the need to especially call her to their house. It was better to take Grandma Fang from the house rather than making the old woman run around the village while carrying a heavy bag, she turned around and looked at Fang Chi after Yu Mai ran off to the Fang house before asking, " You told Grandma Fang to be prepared right? I don't want to rush her all of a sudden."
Fang Chi nodded at once watching Yu Mai rush off to his maternal house. " I did, I was worried that she would be troubled that's why I sent Mammy An earlier in the evening when you went to the strawberry fields, I think she should have prepared by now."
Sure enough, when Yu Mai knocked on Grandma Fang's door, Fang Chi's grandmother came out of the house carrying a small cloth bag with her clothes peeking out from the knot. She raised her head and waved at Fang Chi before walking towards their group in a hurried motion while Yu Mai being the good baby stretched out his hands and took the cloth bag from Grandma Fang, " Let me, Grandma. My sister says that we should always be filial to our elders and help them in every way possible way."
Grandma Fang was tickled by his words, she handed her cloth bag to Yu Mai with a blooming smile and said, " You little one, you are really smart."
" Of course, my sister says that little Mai is the smartest in the house," Yu Dong said such things to help Yu Mai develop his confidence because ever since he was young, he heard everyone call him a little 'idiot' or something of the sort, Yu Mai never said anything about it but Yu Dong knew that he had very low self-esteem with her calling him a smart baby and smartest little one in the house, Yu Mai sort of regained a bit of his confidence and no longer called himself ' little idiot' whenever he made a mistake.
Even now he patted his chest with an extremely cute expression causing Grandma Fang's smile to widen even more. " That's right, our little Mai is the smartest in the whole village."
The two of them reached the group and Yu Mai immediately rushed to his sister to boast about his good deed. " Sister sees, Mai carried Grandma Fang's bag, aren't I the cutest, caring little one?"
" Yes, Yes you are the most caring little one," Yu Dong was amused by his words but she still stretched her hand and patted Yu Mai's head ruffling his hair along with it before raising her head and bowing it slightly to greet her in law. " Grandma Fang, I hope you have been in great health these past days?"
Grandma Fang just finished hugging Fang Chi and was now caressing his pregnant belly when she looked at Yu Dong and smiled, her face lit up as she turned to look at Yu Dong and said, " Of course, I am in great health, my dear grandson is going to be a father soon and my daughter in law is filial, I don't have anything to worry about, so why won't I be in great health?" As she said this she turned to caress Fang Chi's belly with a subtle glow on her face. " I can't wait to meet this little one... I bet she will be the most beautiful child with you and Dong Dong being her parents."
" Grandma——" Fang Chi was slightly embarrassed, it was indeed true that Yu Dong looked really good with her fair skin, sharp eyes and delicate features but compared to her, he was a bit lacking. With his rough features and tanned skin, he could hardly be called good, it was just that his grandmother thought of him as the most beautiful mer in the village, with a furtive glance he looked at Xiao Hua standing next to him... and when he saw Xiao Hua's palm-sized face with moist eyes and red kissable lips, Fang Chi couldn't help but sigh. His grandma's eyes really had some sort of magic filter in them, to think that she will call him beautiful.
" What? Do you think that my grandchild won't look good?" Grandma Fang knew that Fang Chi really disliked his tanned skin, so she turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " Dong Dong, you say..don't you think that your child will be prettiest?"
Yu Dong arched a brow, she looked at Fang Chi's blushing face before she let out an " En, you are right, Grandma Fang... our child will be really pretty."
Her words caused Fang Chi's blush to further intensify but before anyone else could say anything more, the sky darkened and the rain that has been falling lightly till now became extremely heavy. Yu Dong hurriedly covered Fang Chi, Xiao Hua and the kids with straw hats and raincoats that she has packed in the emergency bag and then turned to look at the others, seeing them cover their bodies with their hands, she was slightly stupefied. " What are you all doing, where are your raincoats, hurry and wear them. Don't take this rain lightly if any of you catch a fever then we will have a lot of trouble, don't even think about getting wet in the rain, hurry, hurry..."
" She is right, Doctor Gu hasn't returned from the neighbouring village and I don't think she will be returning tonight, if you don't want to burn in fever, hurry and wear your raincoats," shouted Aunt Wang as she helped her husband and her three sons.
Only then everyone woke up from their daze and hurriedly wrapped themselves up with raincoats and straw hats.
Li Li too took out her straw hat and wore it on her head before looking around the forest as she said, " Oooh, look a water fairy."
Yu Dong: "....."
Everyone else: "....."
That's a mushroom washed in rain! What water fairy!
