Chapter 63

Where I Came From (2)

Jiang Xiumei’s face went dark, she squeezed Xiaoman’s nose and said, “What nonsense are you saying? Why would Grandma not want you? Wild monkeys are wild monkeys. How could our Xiaoman be a wild monkey?”

“What is a wild child then?” Jiang Xiaoman asked eagerly, grabbing her clothes.

“The wild child is...that’s...” Jiang Xiumei sighed: “You are right, a wild child is a wild monkey. Haven’t you heard the story of the Monkey King2? Monkey children, monkey grandchildren, they’re all very precious. They’re all adorable kids, just like Xiaoman.”

The story of the Monkey King, of course, Jiang Xiaoman knew.

The show that was played the most on the little old TV at their house was Great Sage Sun’s stories.

The White Dragon Horse, Pigsy, Sandy, Tang Sanzang, and her favorite, the Monkey King. It was her favorite cartoon, and the Monkey King was her hero.

When Jiang Xiumei said that, Jiang Xiaoman instantly no longer felt uncomfortable.

The wild monkey was so majestic. There was the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits and the Water Curtain Cave. Maybe the Monkey King would come to play with her one day.

She sobbed and asked, “Will the Monkey King also protect me?”

“Of course, who wouldn’t be fond of Xiaoman?”

Jiang Xiaoman was happy and burst into laughter.

If she had known this before, she should’ve dreamt of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. But she only dreamt of being driven to the mountains to be a wild child, how sad. She didn’t even get to see the Monkey King and woke up in shock.

Unable to get the answer, Jiang Xiaoman had to shut her mouth and think about it by herself.

Where did she come from?

“Brother System, do you know?” Jiang Xiaoman asked the system.

The system wanted to play dead, but it would bring too much shame to systems everywhere if it failed to answer such a simple question. But what should it say?

“Host, do you know... Why did Mrs. Flower give birth to Big Flower and Small Flower?”

Jiang Xiaoman scratched her head and thought for a while, then asked back, “Is it because I want to eat meat?”

“...”

The system said thoughtfully, “Host, what your grandma said is right.”

Jiang Xiaoman widened her eyes, “Was I dug up from the earth?”

“Probably.”

Well, she couldn’t have jumped out from a rock, right?

The script that the system had was not too detailed; maybe Jiang Yue did dig her up from the earth? Or perhaps she was picked up from the trash can, who knew?

In short, this matter made Jiang Xiaoman very sad for a long time.

2. she said Great Sage Sun here, referring to the Monkey King’s name and title: Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven

3. just like the Monkey King, who was born from a rock
