Xiao Ruo knew the villagers meant no harm, so he smiled and didn't explain to them about Wu You's poisoning, instead letting them believe Wu You was born with dark skin. This way, Wu You wouldn't have to face curious gazes.
"You know, apart from being a bit dark, Wu You is actually pretty handsome." Sister-in-law Mei Hua laughed and opened her arms to Wu You, coaxing softly: "Little Wu You, would you like Aunt Mei Hua to hold you?"
Little Wu You buried his head in Xiao Ruo's neck, hugging his mother tightly as if afraid someone might take him away.
Xiao Ruo chuckled softly: "Wu You, these grandpas, grandmas, uncles, and aunts are not bad people. There's no need to be scared."
The village head's wife, seeing the situation, quickly said: "The child just returned, it's normal to be shy. Mei Hua, don't scare the child now. Wait a few days until he gets used to it, then you can hug him countlessly."
