Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 193: Manbao Feels Unwell

Qi Dafu followed closely behind the elderly couple, holding Qi Manman like a loyal companion, not leaving their side for even a step.

Qi Zheng was holding a bag of pastries and a skewer of candied hawthorns, watching his wife bargain with a vendor at a miscellaneous goods stall.

Just now, their precious granddaughter had seen a pair of hairpins, and Mrs. Qi immediately stepped forward to haggle with the stall owner. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Finally settling on a price, just as she was about to pay, they suddenly heard Qi Manman exclaim.

Mrs. Qi was startled, her hand shook, and she almost dropped her purse.

"Manbao, what’s wrong?"

Mrs. Qi couldn’t care less about the hairpins and quickly turned to check on her granddaughter.

Only to see Qi Manman’s little face scrunched up painfully, she said, "Grandma, I don’t feel well, I need to go home."

"What happened? How come you suddenly don’t feel well? Quick, let’s go back!"

Mrs. Qi spoke as she moved to take Qi Manman.

Qi Dafu was also taken aback but quickly said, "Dad, Mom, I’ll take Manbao back to see the doctor first. You walk slowly, don’t fall."

"Okay, you go quickly!"

Mrs. Qi’s face was pale with worry, but she knew her legs were not as fast as her son’s, so she urged him to leave quickly.

Qi Zheng also hurried to support his wife, "Don’t worry, there are two doctors at home, everything will be fine."

"Yes, yes."

Mrs. Qi responded, but her heart was still in her throat.

Qi Dafu moved swiftly, weaving through the crowd with Qi Manman in his arms, soon leaving the elder Qi family members far behind.

"Uncle, wait, wait a moment."

As they passed an alley, Qi Manman suddenly grabbed Qi Dafu’s clothing and shook her head, "Here, here."

"What?"

Qi Dafu was stunned; he looked at the alley, then around, and finally said, "Manbao, this alley doesn’t lead to our house."

"No, here."

The little girl’s stubbornness flared up, her grip on Qi Dafu firm as she stared at the alley.

The alley was not wide, and it was pitch black inside, nothing was visible.

Qi Dafu feared that delaying any longer might worsen Qi Manman’s discomfort, so he lifted his foot to move.

Unbeknownst to him, the usually docile girl in his arms suddenly started crying loudly.

This cry drew the attention of passersby.

An older woman asked, "Young man, who are you to this child?"

"I’m her uncle."

Qi Dafu replied.

The woman frowned, "You’re her uncle? Then why is the child crying like this? Could it be you’re a kidnapper?"

At this, the people around looked at Qi Dafu with even more suspicion.

Even though not every family had lost a child, they all despised kidnappers.

Qi Dafu wanted to take Qi Manman and leave, but his path was blocked.

By the look of it, the crowd clearly did not want him to take the child away.

"No, please don’t block the way! My niece isn’t feeling well, I need to take her home to see the doctor!"

Qi Dafu was incredibly anxious.

Manbao wasn’t like other children; she wouldn’t make a fuss over a minor discomfort.

If she said she was unwell, she was undoubtedly unwell.

Especially with her little face so scrunched up just now, it certainly didn’t look like a mild discomfort.

"If you want to see the doctor, go to the clinic. Why take her home?"

The woman who first questioned him scolded, "You must be a kidnapper! Wicked kidnapper, stealing other people’s children, aren’t you afraid of lightning strikes?"

As the woman spoke, the onlookers started pointing fingers at Qi Dafu, and some burly men were already cracking their knuckles, ready to step in and teach him a lesson.

Qi Manman still had a troubled face, her hands no longer gripping Qi Dafu’s clothes, but holding her own instead, her eyes fixed on the alley, silent.

This reaction only made the people around more convinced she’d been kidnapped, their looks toward Qi Dafu turning even harsher.

"Put the child down!"

"Put the child down!"

The crowd moved closer to Qi Dafu.

If it were a one-on-one fight, no one dared approach him, but with so many people, their courage naturally grew.

"No, it’s not like that, I’m really her uncle..."

Qi Dafu, being an honest and simple man not used to arguing, was red-faced with anxiety.

But he absolutely wouldn’t put Qi Manman down!

At this moment, Qi Quanjin and Qi Sangui ran over.

Seeing a crowd gathered, they thought there was perhaps something interesting and came to check if Qi Balang and Qi Jiulang were there as well.

Before they got close, they heard Qi Manman’s cries and Qi Dafu’s stammering defense.

"Brother?"

"Manbao?"

Qi Sangui and Qi Quanjin squeezed through the crowd, finding Qi Dafu and Qi Manman almost moments away from being hit.

"You made it."

Upon seeing his brothers, Qi Dafu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Qi Manman heard her father’s voice, she immediately reached out to Qi Quanjin, raising her arms to be held.

"Dad!"

Qi Manman’s tearful voice, combined with her big teardrops, was heartbreaking to see.

Qi Quanjin quickly stepped forward, taking his daughter, about to ask questions when Qi Manman pointed to the alley, "Dad, there. Manbao is hurting, go there."

"What?"

Qi Quanjin was bewildered, not understanding what his daughter meant.

Qi Manman, desperate to explain, was too upset to speak clearly, repeating only to go there.

Her chubby little hands without gloves pointed unwaveringly towards the alley.

Once the onlookers realized they were indeed family, they sighed in relief, feeling a bit awkward too.

Most of the crowd dispersed, but the first woman stayed, "Young man, I’m sorry, I thought you were a kidnapper just now."

"No problem, no problem."

Qi Dafu waved his hand quickly, "You meant no harm."

The woman, relieved that he wasn’t angry, suggested kindly upon seeing the child crying for the alley, "Maybe the child needs a bathroom break. Since you are all men, it might be inconvenient; if you trust me, I can take her."

"Huh?"

The three Qi brothers were dumbfounded.

Can it really be like that?

Qi Quanjin didn’t mind taking his daughter for a bathroom break, but with outsiders present, he was hesitant to admit it.

At this moment, Qi Manman cried even harder, "Dad go! Uncle go! Third Uncle too! Hurry, hurry! Manbao feels bad, bad."

The little girl kicked her short legs while crying.

This scene left the three even more puzzled.

Needing a bathroom break, and requiring three people?

Just then, Qi Zheng helped Mrs. Qi over, seeing their precious granddaughter in such distress, Mrs. Qi without a word smacked Qi Quanjin on the back.
