Chapter 210
210 Wang Aibao Is Strong
Wang Chuanman had already determined that Wang Aibao was his younger sister, but Wang Aibao was very nervous.
Although she was already six years old when she went missing, logically speaking, she should have some memories of the past. But more than 10 years have passed. Back then, there was chaos and many memories were confused.
In any case, Wang Aibao did not have any memories of her family. She could only vaguely remember that she was very happy when she was young because in her blurry memories, she only remembered all kinds of smiles.
Wang Aibao thought that she was an orphan. She had lived a miserable life all these years and did not even have freedom.
Now, it was rare for someone to come over and tell her that she originally had a family and that she had been doted on since she was young.
Wang Aibao’s first reaction was disbelief. How was that possible?
Until now, when they were sitting on the ship to Nanhe Town, Wang Aibao’s heart was still in turmoil.
Wang Chuanman had always thought that Wang Aibao was thinking about her son.
After all, with Wang Aibao’s status, it was impossible for her to take the child away. Not only that, even if Wang Aibao did not commit any mistake, as a woman, it was very difficult for her to take the child away.
It was fine if it was a daughter, but if she wanted to take her son away from the family, it would be simply a fantasy.
Actually, when Wang Aibao planned to leave with Wang Chuanman, she was already prepared to be separated from her child for the rest of her life.
She believed that the family would definitely treat her son well, no matter what. It was just that she had some doubts in her heart about following this man who looked very similar to her to find her so-called family.
If she could find her real family, she would have no regrets in her life.
When he came, Wang Chuanman had set off in a hurry. Coincidentally, it was a good wind, so he found her in just over 20 days.
But the journey back was against the wind and they had been sailing for more than a month.
At first, Wang Chuanman was still seasick. Later on, as he vomited, he got used to it. When he was bored, he even learned how to control the ship from the boatman.
As he was not used to the food prepared by the boatman, he even cooked some food himself.
Wang Aibao wanted to help at first, but later on, she almost burned the ship down. Wang Chuanman simply chased her aside. “Forget it, forget it. I’ll do it myself!”
With just one sentence, Wang Aibao almost cried.
His familiar tone made it seem like they were not family members who had been separated for 17 years but had been together all along.
If only they were really family!
Wang Aibao felt even more uneasy. If she was not their family’s child, how disappointed would she be!
Even though she was already in her twenties and had long passed the age of an ignorant little girl, her worries could not be faked.
“Little Sister, do you know? I also have a little daughter who’s very similar to you when you were young. It’s not that you look alike, but your personalities are quite similar. Both of you are kind and lively. Both of you are extremely lovable at first sight.” Wang Chuanman squatted on the bow of the ship and fished again. He turned his head and spoke to Wang Aibao beside him.
Wang Aibao took the initiative to help sew Wang Chuanman’s clothes. As for the other two men, she did not do anything.
Although she did not dare to admit it verbally, Wang Aibao already treated Wang Chuanman as her brother in her heart.
At least during this period of time, she had taken good care of him. This was also the kind of care that Wang Aibao had never shown to others before.
“Is that so? I don’t remember.” Wang Aibao looked apologetic. “Or perhaps, I’m not your sister.”
Wang Chuanman didn’t care about Wang Aibao’s words at all. “You probably forgot a lot of things because we were wandering around when you were young. But it doesn’t matter. When you go back and see Mother, you’ll know why I’m certain that you’re my little sister.”
Wang Chuanman and Wang Aibao’s faces were similar, but it was obvious that they were men and women.
However, when Old Madam Wang and Wang Aibao were compared, it would be obvious that they were mother and daughter.
Wang Chuanman still had this bit of discernment.
“Will they accept me?”
Wang Aibao was not confident at all. She knew that most of the girls who went missing would be looked down upon. Even after they’d been found, the family would feel that their daughter had embarrassed the family.
Many people forced their daughters to commit suicide after they were found.
There were also those who had been kidnapped and sold by human traffickers. Many of the girls who were rescued with great difficulty would be forced to their death in the end as well.
This was because they felt that their daughter’s reputation was sullied and was an embarrassment to the family. Their existence would even affect the marriage of their other children.
This was also what Wang Aibao was most worried about. She was no longer afraid of death, but she was afraid of being disappointed again.
“Don’t think too much.” Wang Chuanman didn’t know how to comfort her and could only say this sentence dryly.
The fishing line he hung down moved. Wang Chuanman hurriedly reached out to pull it, but the fishing line was heavier than he had imagined, so he turned to Wang Aibao without thinking and said, “Quick, quick, little sister, help me pull it!”
Wang Aibao wanted to take over, but then she thought that she should be the weak one now.
Just as she was about to retreat, she saw Wang Chuanman being pulled forward by the fishing line and almost fall over.
Without thinking, Wang Aibao grabbed Wang Chuanman’s arm and pulled him back with a shocked expression.
“Hua-!”
A big fish suddenly jumped out of the water and was pulled up along the fishing line.
With a thud, it fell to the deck.
Wang Chuanman: ???
Just now, he seemed to have sensed a wave of divine power appear out of thin air.
He turned to look at Wang Aibao.
“You?”
Wang Aibao blushed and her eyes darted around. “...It wasn’t me.”
Wang Chuanman was speechless. “Do I look like a fool to you?”
At this moment, Wang Chuanman also remembered that his younger sister had been very strong since she was young. When she was six years old, she could carry their mother.
...
When Wang Chuanman found Wang Aibao, he was still a little puzzled. He felt that if his sister was drowned in a pig cage, the affair shouldn’t be so quiet.
Now he realized what was wrong. His sister hadn’t used her strength yet.
“I...” Wang Aibao was at a loss. She had already decided not to use her strength again.
Back then, it was precisely because of her strength that she was condemned as a Demon. Her biological child was snatched away from her at birth. They said that they were afraid that the child would feel ashamed if he knew that he had such a monstrous mother.
The fish that was pulled up actually weighed more than 50 catties!
When a fish pulled against the hook in the water, the force would far exceed its own weight.
It was strange. Originally, such a river would not have such a huge fish, but Wang Chuanman caught it.
Even the boatman was surprised.
“You’re lucky. If you’re accidentally dragged down, you might even be crushed under the ship.” The boatman sighed.
Wang Chuanman chuckled. “I was just lucky. It’s all thanks to-”
He turned his head and looked at Wang Aibao, who was telling him not to say anything.
...
He changed his tone at the last minute. “It’s all thanks to our Ah Yu. She’s a blessed child. Perhaps it’s because my family keeps missing me, wanting me to be safe that I can be so safe.”
Everyone laughed along.
As he had already found Wang Aibao, Wang Chuanman was a little more considerate. He wanted to approach her more slowly so that Wang Aibao could adapt.
That was until that morning when Wang Aibao said to him, “Um, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. You have to get off the ship to buy some glutinous rice and brown leaves. I’ll make you some glutinous rice dumplings.”
Wang Chuanman was shocked. “What? It’s the Dragon Boat Festival today?!”
Oh no, he was so engrossed in saving his sister that he had completely forgotten about the time.
His mother had asked him to return before the Dragon Boat Festival, but he had completely forgotten about it!!
