How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 140

"Xia Xia, Xia Xia..." Jia Qingwu muttered, not even bothering to look down as she stepped on the flowers and grass until she reached Xia Chu. Her hand caressed Xia Chu's face, from her eyebrows to her eyes, to her nose, and finally to her chin. Her fingertips touched a small bump beneath her chin. It wasn't a mole, but a flesh-colored lump. It would be hard to tell with just the naked eye.

"My Xia Xia has grown up, so big, and become a beautiful girl..." Jia Qingwu whispered, stroking the small bump with her thumb. This was when she wasn't watching the child carefully. The child had run into the flowerbed, and a freshly pruned branch had picked off a small piece of flesh. She would never forget the image of Xia Xia crying and crawling to her feet, blood dripping down her collar.

Even now, when I think of it, I still can't hold back my tears. Her dead eyes were illuminated by light, "Warm, Xia Xia. Grow up, Xia Xia, my baby is back to see me."

Xia Chuyi dared not move. She knew there was a bump on her chin. She couldn't help but touch it when she had nothing to do, but she didn't know how it happened. Looking at Jia Qingwu, she seemed to know the origin of the bump.

Aunt Xu looked at the young girl in front of her, as if she saw the old lady. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy, "Really, cousin, this must be true! It's true!"

Jia Qingwu turned around blankly, "Madame Xu, did you see it too?"

Aunt Xu didn't realize what she meant, "Ah, I saw it."

Jia Qingwu seemed confused. "How can you see? Aunt Xu, are you sick too?"

Xia Chu understood that Jia Qingwu thought she was an illusion. She looked up at the Jia family members hiding furtively behind the stained glass window and didn't know how to react.

Aunt Xu reacted and said tearfully, "Madam! This is the real cousin! She's found!"

"Found it back? Found it back, found it back..." Jia Qingwu seemed to suddenly not understand. She looked at Aunt Xu for a long time before turning back to look at Xia Chu.

Jia Qingwu's whole face lit up, like a withered flower blooming again, but she didn't say a word. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Madam!! Doctor! Someone come quickly! Go get the doctor!" Madam Xu screamed and reached out to grab Jia Qingwu, but Xia Chu got there first.

It was so light, so light it didn't seem like the weight of an adult. Xia Chu lifted Jia Qingwu up horizontally. The crowd gathered outside the stained glass window and the doctor, carrying a medicine box, followed Xia Chu into Jia Qingwu's room.

Except for Mrs. Jia who was taking a nap and Mrs. Jia San who was pregnant, everyone else was present.

"How is it, doctor?" Jia Sansi had just returned. When he heard that the mother and daughter were allowed to meet directly, he was somewhat dissatisfied. But it was their father's idea after all, and when he returned, the two had already met.

"Why is my sister dizzy?"

"Doctor, please speak!"

"Quiet down!" Old Master Jia raised his cane and knocked twice, and the room finally quieted down. He looked around and said, "There are too many people here. Those who have nothing to do should go back first and stop gathering here."

Mrs. Jia Da stood up and looked at her two sisters-in-law and said, "Sisters, let's take the children out and wait." She had been in charge of the household affairs for many years and had always been prestigious. Mrs. Jia Er was not very courageous and listened to her words. She nodded and took the two children to the outer room.

The three doctors took turns feeling Jia Qingwu's pulse, exchanging a few words in low voice. Doctor Gong, the most senior among them, bowed and said, "Master Jia, the Madam is weak. Her heartbeat was tachycardia after her great joy, and she lost consciousness. After I give her acupuncture, I'll let her take a nap. She should be fine. However, the Madam's health is too poor. She must avoid excessive emotional fluctuations in the future and must recuperate well."

Jia Sansi said, "Mr. Gong, you have examined my sister's pulse many times before. Every time you said that her illness is a heart disease that needs a heart medicine. Now that the heart medicine has been found, can my sister's illness be cured?"

"Is this the girl?" Old Gong turned around and carefully observed the girl's bones. "It looks very similar to the Jia family's. The medicine for the heart has returned, so the previous decoctions can be discontinued. I'll write down a few medicinal dishes and ask the family cook to prepare them. You should take good care of her every day. Especially this girl," he turned to Xia Chu, "stay with the lady. With time, there is hope that this illness will be cured."

How long would it take? Xia Chu couldn't help but ask.

"That's great." Jia Xu and Jia Kuan looked at each other, their joy beyond words.

Old Master Jia turned around and raised his head slightly.

"That's great, that's great..." The stone that had been pressing on Jia Sansi's heart for ten years was finally half lifted.

After Dr. Gong performed the acupuncture, Jia Sansi personally sent the doctors out and told the people waiting outside the good news.

"Xia Xia, please stay here and accompany your mother. If she wakes up and doesn't see you, I'm afraid she'll have a seizure." Old Master Jia turned to Xia Chu and said kindly, "Is that okay?"

"Okay." Xia Chu nodded.

Old Master Jia glanced at his sleeping daughter a few more times before calling his sons out. Aunt Xu was crying, but the smile on her face never faded. Seeing her cousin looking at her, she wiped her eyes embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Xia Chu shook her head. She wasn't laughing at anyone. Instead, she felt that such a harmonious family was beyond her previous understanding. Even in modern times, even wealthy families wouldn't necessarily be so harmonious. Everyone in the family seemed to be genuinely hoping Jia Qingwu would get better. If this wasn't acting, then the Jia family's family tradition was truly extraordinary.

It seems not bad to have such a new relative.

Jia Qingwu didn't sleep for long, it felt like less than half an hour. She suddenly woke up from her dream and sat up, trying to get out of bed. Unfortunately, her body was too weak. Although she could feel her eagerness, her movements were weak and slow.

Xia Chu was sitting on a small stool outside the bed, flipping through the book on Jia Qingwu's desk. Hearing the noise, she immediately went over to support her. Jia Qingwu raised her head, tears welling up without warning. With trembling hands, she cupped Xia Chu's face, "Xia Xia?"

"Yes, it's me." Perhaps she is destined to be with Xia. Her name is Xia Chu, and her original name is Jue Xia.

Jia Qingwu hugged her and cried bitterly, "My Xia Xia, you are finally back. You are back to your mother."

She cried passionately, her entire body trembling. Some of her words were so cryptic that Xia Chu couldn't understand them. But she felt she couldn't let her cry any longer. The doctor had just said Jia Qingwu was too weak to handle extreme joy or sorrow. Crying was exhausting. Even a normal person would feel uncomfortable and suffocated if they cried too hard. And what about Jia Qingwu, the patient?

"I'm hungry," Xia Chu bit her lip. The crying made her heart ache. "Mom, I'm hungry."
