She glanced at her father, who was busy cooking, and gritted her teeth as she took out three more taels of silver.
One tael was used to unlock the Liangyou District, another for the Muying District, and the third for the Riyong Baihuo District.
From the Muying District, she grabbed several large packs of wet wipes, toilet paper, overnight pants, diapers, baby formula, and maternal formula.
The moment she clicked to retrieve them, a mountain of supplies buried her.
[Waaaah, I can’t breathe! They’re covering my nose and mouth!]
She wailed loudly, crying out to Gan Fanren for help.
Gan Fanren hurriedly dropped what he was doing and pushed the items off Gan Tian and onto the ground.
[Waaaah, I almost suffocated.]
[Dad, your precious daughter almost went to see the ancestors.]
“It’s all Daddy’s fault. I was so focused on cooking that I didn’t take good care of you.”
Gan Fanren held Gan Tian guiltily, soothing her in a soft voice.
It was his fault. Even though he knew his daughter was using treasures given by the gods, he hadn’t watched over her carefully enough.
[Dad, I’m okay now. Stop coddling me and look at the things I got from the Xitong.]
Gan Fanren looked at the floor and discovered many strangely packaged items.
“This… I’ve been right here the whole time and didn’t see anyone come in. Could this be a manifestation of the Heavens?”
Even though he knew his daughter had conjured them, Gan Fanren still shouted with exaggerated drama.
“It must be my daughter’s doing. My daughter might be a reincarnated deity! How else could these things appear out of thin air?”
He created a legitimate excuse for Gan Tian to produce things openly before he began inspecting the items.
The writing on these things was strange—either missing strokes or written incorrectly—yet he could somehow understand them.
“Overnight pants… what is this?”
He turned the package over and studied the instructions for use.
[Oh, my silly Daddy. Mom just gave birth to me, and her lochia hasn’t finished yet. She must feel wet and uncomfortable. With these, she won’t get blood everywhere.]
[Quick, quick, put them on Mom.]
“Diapers? What are these for?”
“Are they like the other ones? Why are they so small?”
[These are for me! That way, I won’t get stinky poops and pees all over the place.]
[And the formula! Look at the formula! If I don’t get some milk soon, I really will be going to see the ancestors!]
Gan Tian aggrievedly sucked on her little fist but didn’t cry.
[Still, Mom is more important. She must be uncomfortable after just giving birth. Putting on the overnight pants will make her feel better. I don’t mind eating a bit later.]
What a good daughter.
Gan Fanren did not refuse his daughter’s kindness. Holding her with one arm, he placed the items into a bamboo basket with the other and carried it to his wife.
Hui Niang had rested for a while and regained some strength. Seeing Gan Fanren carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and their daughter in the other, she was startled.
What if the baby fell?
This was too dangerous!
She hurriedly sat up to take the baby, but Gan Fanren stopped her.
“Rest, my lady.”
Gan Fanren brought over a small stool and sat by the bedside.
Hui Niang had just given birth. Although the midwife had helped clean up, the lochia was still flowing, and she had sweated profusely. It was inevitable that she carried a bit of an odor.
Seeing her husband bring a stool to sit by the bed, she worried he might smell something unpleasant. She hurriedly pulled up the covers, her face flushing red with embarrassment.
An uncontrollable chuckle escaped Gan Fanren’s throat. “We are an old married couple; you needn’t be so formal, wife.”
“Wife, I have something important to tell you. Don’t be afraid when you hear it.”
“What is it?” Hui Niang gripped the quilt tightly, her eyes clear as spring water as she gazed deeply at Gan Fanren.
“Our Tian’er might be a reincarnated deity.”
Gan Fanren pulled out the bamboo basket. “I was just simmering soup when I heard Tian’er cry. When I turned around, I found many things had appeared out of thin air.”
Hui Niang took the basket and saw it was filled with various bottles and containers.
“These all appeared out of nowhere?”
“It’s the absolute truth!”
Seeing that her father had found a reasonable excuse for her, Gan Tian hurriedly took more things from the Xitong.
There were clean towels, colorful candies, ink, pens, and some snacks.
She even pulled a bag of premium rice from the Liangyou District. The rice appeared beside Gan Tian with a sudden thud. It was a bit unstable and wobbled, nearly toppling over onto her.
Fortunately, Gan Fanren was quick and caught the rice bag.
“This…”
Hui Niang stared at the items that appeared out of nowhere and suddenly grabbed Gan Fanren’s hands.
“Husband, this must never be known by others.”
“Do not worry, wife.”
Hui Niang looked at the items, her brow furrowed slightly. “These things are wonderful, but the way they appear is too dangerous.”
If they hadn’t been there, Tian’er might have been crushed.
[Waaaah… I was just too excited. I won’t do it like that again.]
Gan Tian sheepishly patted her own little bottom and shyly covered her face with her tiny hands.
Her big eyes blinked and blinked.
She was incredibly cute.
Both Gan Fanren and Hui Niang felt their hearts tremble at the sight.
“Tian’er is still small. We just need to watch her more closely. She’ll be fine once she’s older.”
“Hui Niang, I’ve observed the sky. I fear the waters will rise tonight. Rest for a bit; in a while, we will head up the mountain to seek shelter from the rain.”
Hui Niang nodded obediently.
Gan Fanren helped the mother and daughter clean up. He put the overnight pants on Hui Niang and then, following the instructions on the formula tin, prepared a bottle.
Gan Tian had been holding her breath, unwilling to soil her cloth diapers. Now that she was in a disposable diaper, she let it all out with relief.
She opened her tiny mouth and sucked greedily, drinking her fill.
“Gan, get your family out here!” a cursing voice rang out from outside the door.
“You gave birth to a jinx, and now you want to stir up trouble for the whole village?”
“What rising water? The sky is perfectly clear! I think your whole family is just itching for a beating. Come out and let me loosen your hides for you!”
The sky was indeed clear at the moment, but it was stiflingly hot. Gan Tian knew this was the precursor to a massive storm.
Why is this person so annoying?
Can’t they tell it’s about to pour?
Let me see which little ‘tough cookie’ dares to act wild here.
Gan Tian stopped drinking her milk and craned her head to look outside, but hindered by her tiny body, she could only wiggle slightly.
[Let me see who’s being so shameless. I’m going out there to kick them.]
She even extended her little foot as she spoke.
However, her foot was barely larger than an egg, lacking any intimidation factor whatsoever. Instead, it looked adorable and pink.
Gan Fanren walked out the door carrying Gan Tian.
Gan Tian excitedly blew bubbles.
[Hit the bad guy!]
“Everything I said was the truth. If you don’t believe me, then don’t follow us up the mountain. Why come to my door and curse us?”
“I’m cursing you specifically!” Wang Lishi reached out, pointing her finger right at Gan Fanren’s head.
