Chapter 93 That man must love his daughter terribly.

Lin Qu then took out another small clay figure from the pile of finished clay figures. It was a Disney princess, also wearing a pink dress.

He handed the little clay figure to the little girl.

"Um, how much is it? I..."

"It's free, a gift for the child."

The little girl's mother thought that Lin Qu saw her daughter wanted a clay figurine and was trying to force her to buy it.

Unexpectedly, he said he wanted to give it to the child for free.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed for her own petty nature, "This clay figure is very well made, I can't let you give it away for free."

But Lin Qu shook his head and said to the little girl holding the clay figure, "The little clay figure you like is not for sale, so Uncle can't give it to you. I can give you this one instead."

He looked at the little girl, his gaze gradually becoming slightly unfocused, as if he were looking through her to see something else. He murmured, "My daughter, her nickname is also Little Crescent Moon..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the woman already understood what he meant.

"Oh, I see. And what about your daughter?"

Lin Qu lowered his eyes, his gaze dimmed, and even his voice became hoarse. "She died of illness."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The woman felt even more guilty.

Lin Qu shook his head, said nothing, and continued to work as a clay figure.

In the end, the woman felt bad and scanned the QR code anyway. Fearing that Lin Qu wouldn't accept it, she waited until they had walked some distance before making the payment.

Recalling the man's disability and his eyes.

She thought, that man must love his daughter terribly. Sigh, he's pitiful.

"Daddy~" Where Lin Qu couldn't see, Little Crescent Moon, standing next to Xu Qingling, looked at her father and tears of blood fell again.

As the wind gently blew, Lin Qu felt as if he could faintly hear his daughter calling him in the wind.

He subconsciously looked up and scanned his surroundings, but found nothing.

Lin Qu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Eight years had passed, and this auditory hallucination had lasted for eight years. Every time he looked up, the result was the same.

His little crescent moon left him eight years ago and will never come back.

My little crescent moon, can you hear my call?

If you can hear me, come back and see your dad. Dad misses you.

Little Crescent Moon cried as she slowly opened her right hand. Xu Qingling and Sasha finally saw what she had been holding tightly in her hand—a clay figure.

It's exactly the same as the lotus root pink princess dress and clay figurine that the little girl just wanted.

"So that was you."

If you look closely, the clay figure's facial features are almost identical to Little Crescent Moon's, and even the light pink princess dress it's wearing is the same.

No wonder he wouldn't sell that clay figure.

Because the clay figurines he made were so lifelike and endearing, Lin Qu's stall was always packed with customers.

Little Crescent Moon knew her father couldn't see her, but it didn't matter. She just sat quietly beside him, just like before.

"I used to sell clay figurines at a stall with my dad..."

Through Xiaoyueya's narration, Xu Qingling and Shasha gradually learned the original story of the Lin family of three.

Before Xu Qingling's eyes, the story of Lin Qu's family of three gradually unfolded in her mind.

Lin Qu and his wife Wen Qian are both from this small county town. They met through a blind date and got married.

Although they didn't have much of a foundation in their relationship before marriage, the two lived a good life after marriage and even moved out of their parents' house and bought a house in a small county town.

At that time, Lin Qu was still a normal person, working diligently every day to earn money to support his family.

Wenxi also works as a sewing machine operator in a garment factory near her home.

Their life wasn't wealthy, but it was alright. Their relationship began to blossom when Wenxi became pregnant.

They were both overjoyed at the arrival of their child, and in order to provide a better life for the child, they worked even harder.

During the early stages of her pregnancy, Wen Qian frequently worked overtime in order to earn more money.

It wasn't until her belly grew bigger that Lin Qu, not wanting her to work so hard, stopped her from working overtime.

Lin Qu, after finishing his work during the day and having dinner, would set up his stall in the evening.

They were selling clay figurines.

Sculpting clay figures started as a hobby for Lin Qu. He is very skillful and initially learned by following online tutorials step by step. Later, he no longer needed to learn; as long as he was given clay and a picture, he could sculpt the figure.

Hobbies gradually turned into skills.

My wife happens to be pregnant, which will definitely increase household expenses.

So Lin Qu started making money by setting up a stall at night using his clay figurine sculpting skills.

He didn't know how to price the clay figurines properly, so he posted a QR code and let customers pay whatever they wanted.

Because he sculpts them so well, he already has quite a few customers even though he just opened his stall.

Every night, he can earn a considerable amount of money by setting up a stall to make and sell clay figurines.

Seeing their savings increase, the couple were very happy and looked forward to the arrival of their child.

Pregnant in October and giving birth once.

Wenxi gave birth to a daughter.

Lin Qu and Wen Qian didn't really care whether it was a son or a daughter.

They love and are happy with any child that is theirs.

So, the child was named Lin Yue, and her nickname was Little Crescent Moon.

Little Crescent Moon is really cute, chubby and fair-skinned, and very well-behaved. Lin Qu is of average appearance, but Wen Qian is beautiful.

Little Crescent Moon's appearance is a combination of all the best features of her parents.

Lin Qu and Wen Qian cherished Xiaoyueya to the core; she was even more important to them than their own lives.

And Little Crescent Moon is indeed worthy of their love.

Not to mention that she is beautiful, she also loves to laugh, which makes people feel happy at first sight.

From birth, she was very sensible and would not cry for no reason. She would only whimper when she was uncomfortable, hungry, wet, or soiled.

Everyone says that Little Crescent Moon is an angel baby; she came to repay a debt of gratitude.

Lin Qu and Wen Qian also felt that Little Crescent Moon was a baby repaying a debt of gratitude.

When Xiaoyueya was born, Lin Qu's mother came from her hometown to help Wen Qian during her postpartum period and took care of Xiaoyueya until she was two years old.

But later, Lin Qu's younger brother and sister-in-law in their hometown also gave birth, so the old man had no choice but to go back to take care of them.

Originally, Wen Qian planned to quit her job and stay home to take care of Xiao Yueya.

But Little Crescent Moon is too well-behaved.

Once, Wenxi brought Xiaoyueya to work at the factory. She put her in a basket and gave her a clay figurine. Xiaoyueya would stay quietly by herself for a long time until she got hungry and then she would call for her mother.

Wenxi wants to give her daughter a better life and wants to earn more money. If possible, she doesn't want to give up her job.

After seeing how well-behaved Xiaoyueya was, the couple decided that neither of them would give up their jobs and they would take turns taking care of Xiaoyueya. Once Xiaoyueya went to kindergarten, they would be able to relax a bit.

Living at the bottom of society, they know all too well the importance of money.

I know it's not good to leave my daughter at my workplace like this, but in order to give Xiaoyueya a better life in the future, I can only make do with her for now.
