Chapter 1791 Suicide
Ruan Yu was startled by him. "What did you call me?"
She didn't take the handkerchief, but looked at Ata with a bewildered expression.
The latter remained kneeling: "Goddess!"
"...You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?" Ruan Yu was embarrassed; she was no goddess.
"My eyes... I can really see things clearly now." After Ana woke up, she opened her eyes and her vision was many times clearer than before.
She almost burst into tears of joy.
Then Ruan Yu said, "Your eyes have just recovered and need some time to heal. Don't cry anymore, or you'll go blind again."
"Okay, okay." Ana quickly fanned her eyes with her palms to stop the tears from falling.
"Thank you, benefactor!" Ana got out of bed, though she didn't know why Ata was kneeling in front of Ruan Yu and in such a strange posture.
But she kneels as she pleases, and it doesn't affect anyone else.
"Get up, all of you." Ruan Yu's brow twitched slightly, perhaps from expending too much mental energy.
"Ata, I am not the goddess you speak of."
“You are me, I remember your face clearly.” Ata shook his head, his eyes shining as he stared at Ruan Yu.
The goddess's appearance was already imprinted in his heart; he couldn't possibly mistake her!
Ruan Yu said, "There are many people in the world who look alike. I am really not like that, and I have never been to the Giants' Tribe."
Have you never been to the Giants' Land?
Ata looked disappointed. Had he really mistaken him for someone else? But that was impossible! Appearances might be similar, but aura and habits couldn't possibly be this alike!
However, since the goddess was unwilling to admit it, he would not insist on doing so, lest he cause her unnecessary trouble.
"Alright, I guess I was wrong." Ata stepped aside, but her eyes never left Ruan Yu.
She still had that same expression as someone looking at their idol.
"My benefactor, you saved me and healed my eyes... From now on, Ana's life belongs to you!"
Giants are known for their gratitude and strong sense of loyalty.
Ana's words were not a lie.
"What would I do with your life? Just live well and take good care of Little Rice Cake."
"Yes!" Ana was still very sad.
Her husband's death was hard for her to accept. But no matter how hard she tried, it was a fact.
"What should I do about Xiao Nian Gao's situation?" Ana hesitated.
Little Rice Cake saw her "father" return with her own eyes. On the surface, she was unwilling to accept it, but in her heart, she was actually very happy, right?
If "Father" leaves, I can't imagine how heavy a blow that would be for Xiao Niangao!
"To tell you the truth." Seven years old is not a child anymore.
They have the right to know the news of their biological father's death.
The truth will eventually come out; there's nothing that can be done about it.
"Wait a little longer... I'll tell her the truth the day you leave the giants." Ana couldn't bear to tell Xiao Nian Gao right now.
It's so cruel for a seven-year-old child to have to part ways with his "father" so soon after all this time!
Ruan Yu nodded slightly and transformed back into her powerful form.
Ana was in a daze again.
"Where is Juli's mother? Can I go see her?"
"It's in that room in the backyard. I'll take you there." Ana came to her senses and personally led Ruan Yu to find her mother-in-law.
Ata followed behind.
The three of them left the room together, and Agu and Xiaoniangao looked at Ana with surprise outside the door.
"Sis, are you feeling better?"
"Mother, can you see things again?" Little Rice Cake was very perceptive; she noticed that Ana's eyes were no longer as cloudy as before.
Ana knelt down tenderly and hugged Xiao Nian Gao in her arms. "Yes, Mother can see now."
She wanted to cry, but she forced herself to hold it in.
However, tears were still welling up in her eyes.
Ana didn't want Xiao Nian Gao to see her in this disheveled state.
"That's wonderful, Mother." Little Rice Cake could feel her mother's trembling body.
She forced a smile and wrapped her small arms around Ana's waist.
Ata said, "It was... the elixir that Juli brought back, which cured Ana's illness and her eyes."
"Great job, brother-in-law! You've had quite a haul on that trip!" A-Gu has now completely accepted Ruan Yu.
"Little Rice Cake, why don't you go play outside with your uncle for a while? Mommy will come find you later, okay?" Ana didn't forget the important matter.
"Huh? It's me taking care of the baby again?" Agu opened his mouth wide, very dissatisfied.
He hadn't heard a thing about the conversation the three of them had just had in the room.
This is clearly a precaution against him!
We're already wary of Xiao Nian Gao, why are we also wary of him?
What about trust between people?
"Uncle, don't you want to take me with you?" Little Rice Cake mischievously grabbed A-Gu's hand and squeezed it slightly.
She was the most talented child, and also the strongest.
He is completely comparable to a normal man in the tribe.
After being pinched, Agu winced in pain and changed his tone, saying, "How could that be? Little Rice Cake is so clever, lively, and adorable! Uncle loves you so much! Come on, Uncle will take you to buy some candy!"
"I'm not a child, I don't eat candy." Little Rice Cake said this, but her body betrayed her and she followed Ah Gu.
The three of them went to the backyard.
Before even getting close to the dark, ancient wooden door, Ruan Yu felt a somber atmosphere emanating from the room.
The room was deathly still and filled with an unpleasant odor.
The smell of excrement.
Ana said, "I'll go in first, and I'll call you later." She didn't want outsiders to see her mother-in-law's embarrassing situation.
Ata nodded.
Ruan Yu rushed inside, shouting, "She committed suicide!"
"what!"
Ana and Ata were both startled and followed Ruan Yu inside.
Pushing open the door, one sees an old and emaciated body lying in the center of the room.
The old woman had obvious ligature marks on her neck and a broken half of the rope on her body.
"Mother! What are you doing!" Ana burst into tears instantly. At this moment, she could no longer heed Ruan Yu's instructions.
"My benefactor, please save her!"
Ruan Yu walked straight up to the old woman, checked her eyelids, and thankfully she was still breathing.
He took out the pill, crushed it, added it to the cold spring water, and fed it to the old woman.
Even so, a considerable amount of medicine still gushed out of her mouth.
She's resisting taking the medicine!
Seeing this, Ruan Yu tapped the old woman's chest a few times, and the old woman's mouth opened wide uncontrollably.
The process of taking the medicine then became incredibly smooth.
"Why did you save me? Wouldn't it have been better to let me die?" The old woman woke up and looked at Ruan Yu with resentment.
When she was still slightly conscious, she could feel that the person in front of her had saved her.
She never expected that the person who saved her would be her "son"!
"Immense strength...?" The old woman's tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.
"Is it really my son, Juli?" She couldn't believe it, crying and laughing at the same time, and then tentatively reached out her hand to Ruan Yu's face.
Ruan Yu did not dodge.
She let the old woman cup her face and touch and pinch it.
"My son is back! My son is back!" The old woman exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes.
