Chapter 37 Treating Grandma Qiao's Headache

These past two days, Chen's mother has been visiting Grandma Qiao quite a bit to talk about bringing Chen Yulian back.

But Grandma Qiao never gave a definite answer.

She heard that Qiao Changdong had returned today, so she rushed over from the next village, wanting to personally persuade Qiao Changdong to bring Chen Yulian back.

"Dongzi went out again today because of something." Grandma Qiao carried the winnowing basket to the well, poured the sweet potatoes into the wooden basin, and answered Chen's mother, who had followed her, while shaking the water.

“Since Yulian said that premature birth has damaged her body, staying in the hospital is better than staying at home. Doctors know more than we do, and the Qiao family is not short of money for hospitalization.”

"As for the rest," Grandma Qiao glanced at Chen's mother, who was about to say something again, "that's their business, it's none of my concern as a mother-in-law."

The implication is that even I, as the mother-in-law, can't control things, let alone you, as the mother-in-law.

Since Grandma Qiao had already said so much, Chen's mother couldn't argue back.

Of course, she was unwilling to admit that she was frightened by Grandma Qiao's kitchen knife today.

She stood next to Grandma Qiao and tried to keep her company for a while, but when she realized that Grandma Qiao wasn't paying much attention to her, she had no choice but to leave empty-handed.

After Chen's mother left, a look of disgust and coldness flashed across Grandma Qiao's face.

She followed Chen's mother as she left and went up to close the courtyard gate.

When she turned back, rubbing her slightly swollen forehead, she met her granddaughter's bright, piercing eyes.

Grandma Qiao was taken aback.

She used a basin to draw water from the well, lathered her hands with soap, washed them carefully, dried them, and then went to her granddaughter's side.

He reached out and pulled her onto his lap, then slipped one hand inside her clothes to feel around. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he found nothing wet.

She was afraid that her actions had frightened her granddaughter.

Although her granddaughter was not weak, she had been pampered by them since she was a child, and Grandma Qiao rarely changed her expression in front of her. She was afraid that her actions this time would frighten her.

Children are most susceptible to being startled.

If someone is frightened, they may appear fine during the day but develop a high fever at night.

According to the locals, they were terrified.

You need to find a fortune teller and have someone call back the soul from one end of the village to help it get better.

Grandma Qiao was relieved to see that her granddaughter hadn't been frightened.

She held the little girl in her arms without saying a word, her eyes fixed in one direction, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

"Grandma, do you have a headache?" Qiao Qiao looked up at her grandmother, who had been rubbing her forehead as she walked back after closing the courtyard gate.

"It's alright, Grandma will hold you and let you sit for a while." Grandma Qiao looked at the little girl's concerned face, smiled lovingly, and reached out to touch her forehead.

The injury on her forehead has completely healed; apart from her hair not growing back yet, there is no scar left.

Grandma Qiao touched the injured spot, then looked at the young boy with an injured leg beside her, her brows furrowed with indescribable sorrow.

Ever since Qiao Qiao was injured a few days ago, she has been unable to sleep well and has been feeling uneasy.

These past two days, Qiao Changdong took Qiao Qiao to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and she did the same.

I haven't slept well for several days in a row, which is why I feel tired and have a headache.

Seeing Grandma Qiao like this, Qiao Qiao felt a little sorry for her.

She jumped off Grandma Qiao's lap and turned to fetch the small stool she had been sitting on while eating.

He moved behind Grandma Qiao, supporting her back as he stood up, saying, "Grandma, let me give you a massage. Dad said I'm very good with my hands, and I can give you a really comfortable massage."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qiao smiled.

What strength could a three-year-old have to press so comfortably?

She knew it was mostly her son trying to make the girl happy, but the little guy actually took it seriously.

He's still enthusiastically giving himself a massage.

However, she did not refuse, letting the little girl stand on tiptoe, half-lying on her back, and reaching out her little hands to massage the sides of her forehead.

Qiao Qiao had no other intentions than to make Grandma Qiao more comfortable.

Perhaps it was a sudden inspiration, but as she was thinking this, she saw that wisps of purplish-gold threads were extending from the tip of her index finger and entering Grandma Qiao's forehead.

As the threads pierced through, Grandma Qiao's furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and she immediately perked up, her eyes becoming clear.

How could this be so amazing?

Grandma Qiao was a little surprised; she hadn't expected her granddaughter's massage to actually work.

In just a couple of moments, she felt all her previous fatigue disappear completely.

Not only did my throbbing, foggy head clear up and stop hurting, but I also suddenly felt incredibly strong.

"Grandma, how do you feel?" Qiao Qiao leaned over and asked, watching the purple-gold threads enter Grandma Qiao's forehead, while observing her complexion.

She had seen these purple-gold threads before in the bracelet's space; they were the ones that healed her injuries.

The scar on her forehead also disappeared because of this.

She guessed that it might have therapeutic effects.

But she never expected that these things could not only be used by her, but could also escape from her body and enter Grandma Qiao's body.

[Master, this is spiritual energy transformed from the consciousness within your body; it possesses restorative properties.]

[However, Master, your consciousness in this world is not strong enough. You must not overdraw it, otherwise we will end up like before, not only losing contact, but also weakening your body and eventually leading to death.]

Xiao Yuan, who was spiritually connected with Qiao Qiao, sensed her doubts and immediately answered them in his mind.

Qiao Qiao ignored it and instead tilted her head to look at Grandma Qiao, trying to observe her expression.

"My milk is much better, and my head doesn't hurt at all anymore." Grandma Qiao hugged Qiao Qiao back into her arms.

“Your dad is right, our little one is really amazing, the massage is so comfortable.”

Qiao Qiao smiled along with her, her smile cute and sweet.

She wrapped her arms around Grandma Qiao's neck and rubbed her soft, tender cheeks against hers.

She hummed sweetly, "Then Qiaoqiao will massage Grandma often from now on, so that Grandma can live a long and healthy life and stay with Qiaoqiao forever."

Not just Grandma Qiao.

Qiao Qiao wishes everyone in the Qiao family, except for Chen Yulian, to live to a ripe old age and enjoy happiness and good health!

Grandma Qiao's heart melted as the little one in her arms rubbed against her.

She lowered her head and kissed the little girl's rosy cheeks, saying earnestly, "Okay, Grandma will live a long and healthy life and always be with you."

The little girl in her arms was fed little by little with goat's milk, from a thin little kitten to adulthood.

She's just introverted and not good at expressing herself.

However, her love and doting on Qiao Qiao was never less than that for Qiao Changdong.
