Behind Zhu's father is Zhu Xuanzhou.

"Dad, I'm going." Zhu Xuanzhou pulled his father's hand, his little hand was cold.

"Ah."

Zhu's father slightly turned sideways, and Zhu Xuanzhou came out. They had agreed on this when they were at home, that no matter what the outcome was, it didn't matter.

"Mother." The soft voice seemed a little abrupt in this serious scene.

The village chief saw this and smiled. He thought that the county magistrate had finally come to Banshan Village and met with the children, which was very heartwarming to see.

The county magistrate looked back, was stunned for a moment, and then walked over.

"It's Xuanzhou."

"Mom, it's me. I miss you so much."

Zhu Xuanzhou spoke softly, but he never spoke like that before. He looked at her with watery eyes and even made a hugging gesture.

"I missed you too. Are you feeling better?"

The county magistrate just patted him on the shoulder and did not squat down while speaking. He just looked at him from above.

"It's the same as before, mother. Did you come here specifically to see me and father this time?"

Zhu Xuanzhou pretended to know nothing, looked around, and said with some disappointment: "Mother is here to catch the bad guys."

He lowered his head, then immediately raised it up again, a bright and cheerful smile appearing on his sickly face.

"Mom is the best, Mom is a hero!"

The county magistrate was obviously very happy and was also looking for Zhu's father among the crowd.

Zhu's father came out at the right time, bowed and greeted, "My wife is my master."

The county magistrate frowned. The clothes these two people wore were too tattered, not even as good as the villagers' clothes. All their food and clothing were provided by her doctor, so he began to weigh his concerns.

The village chief was tactful enough to ask the villagers to disperse. The officials had already gone to the village entrance to wait. Song Tingran's family and Lin Qinghe's family also returned to the inn to have dinner.

"From now on, when you are around, please call me sir." The county magistrate said to Zhu's father.

"Yes, I understand. I just haven't seen my wife for a long time, and I really miss her."

Zhu's father was an invisible man when he was in the county magistrate's mansion. Now he is worried every day in this village. He eats less, becomes thinner and thinner, and there is a look of sadness between his brows, which makes people feel pity for him.

"Well, you've been taking care of Xuanzhou every day, which is also hard work. When I go back this time, I will send someone to bring you some daily necessities. If you need anything, please let the village chief write to me and let me know."

“I have nothing to worry about with these wives, but Xuan Zhou’s body is really inconvenient to see a doctor here.”

Zhu's father looked pleadingly at the county magistrate, the man who had taken him in but now ignored him.

The county magistrate thought about it and his eyes fell on Zhu Xuanzhou.

"I think Xuan Zhou is recovering very well here. It's much better than sneaking out to the streets after returning. I will ask the doctor to come once a month."

Zhu Xuanzhou was disappointed. "Mother, I didn't mean to run to the street. They always bully me. I can avoid a day of leisure by running away."

"Who bullied you? You were naughty and wanted to go out to play, but you still put the blame on your sisters and brothers?"

The county magistrate was somewhat displeased. Compared to her momentary pity for Zhu Xuanzhou and his son, she felt more proud of the children in her family.

Zhu Xuanzhou pulled the county magistrate's arm and apologized eagerly.

"Mother, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I will listen to you."

"Ah."

The county magistrate's expression eased a lot and he also touched Zhu Xuanzhou's face.

"Xuanzhou, be good. When you recover, mother will take you and your father back home. Ping'an Town is not suitable for you to recuperate. This place is much better."

Father Zhu also understood what was going on. There was no point in saying more, so he quickly followed the county magistrate and said, "My wife, the air here is good and there is less disturbance. It is indeed very suitable for Xuan Zhou to recuperate. We will stay here peacefully and not cause any more trouble."

"Well, I feel relieved that Xuan Zhou is under your care."

The county magistrate smiled at Zhu's father after a long absence. Even though his heart was as calm as water, he was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the time when they first met.

When Zhu Xuanzhou heard his father say this, he understood what was going on. He stopped acting like a spoiled brat and became a lot calmer.

"Mother, it's getting late. Don't waste time. Leave as soon as possible. Be careful on the road. Father and I are waiting for you here. Come visit us next time."

The county magistrate looked at Zhu Xuanzhou with appreciation and felt that he was very sensible.

I feel even more that recuperating here is the right thing to do. Not only can I adopt a child, but his or her personality will also improve.

"Okay, I'll send things over regularly from now on, and the doctor will come once a month, and I'll do it myself."

This time, Zhu Xuanzhou was genuinely happy. Her willingness to do it personally meant that no one would deliberately cut corners. With him and his father here, life would be much better.

"Thank you, mother. It's just that I'm busy with official duties. You should take care of your health."

"Okay, so are you."

Zhu's father and Zhu Xuanzhou wanted to go together to see the county magistrate off, but she refused, so they just watched her go here.

After the government team left, peace returned to the village halfway up the mountain.

"Xiao Zhou, it's Daddy who is incompetent."

Zhu's father always blamed himself. If he had not been unloved, his children would not have been implicated.

"Dad, we have a good life here. I like it very much. And after this, we won't be short of food and clothing anymore. Isn't this great?"

"Okay, let's go, Xiaozhou, go home."

"Go home."

The two of them held hands and returned to their warm little home.

On the other side, Song Tingran and his group had finished dinner and returned to their residence.

It was even darker here. After Lin Qinghe made sure that Song Tingran was fine, she talked for a long time and then took her family back to her room to sleep.

The eyes of the Song family children were all red from staying up late. Seeing that their mother was fine, they felt relieved and fell asleep.

Everyone needs a good rest. After being worried for most of the day, we are more tired mentally than physically.

But the men of the Song family couldn't sleep. The room was dark and they all gathered around Song Tingran. Everyone had a lot to say.

Lin Qinghe's family was there before, and the children were still awake, so it was not convenient to talk about many things.

"My dear wife, you broke your promise." Shi Yan's tone was full of heartache.

"I'm sorry, it's just that this matter concerns life and death. I'm really worried. Now the person's whereabouts are unknown."

"Well, this time, he..." Shi Yan didn't continue.

The other men in the family didn't know that Liu Bai risked his life to go into the mountains.

Xiao Yuchen: “Who is it?” He was full of questions.

Song Tingran told Shi Yan what happened with Liu Bai. Shi Yan knew about it a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He prayed in his heart that Liu Bai was okay.

But the other husbands were all shocked.

Qiao Jinshu: "Liu Bai, Liu Bai actually took on all the responsibilities! But he came from the bank of the Liushui River, and he didn't say he would do these things."

Sang Cheng: "Jinshu, don't you understand? Liu Bai is not doing this for the Liushui Riverbank, he is doing this for his wife."
