Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After Shen Nan made a scene at the Qian family and took Qian Xiaoshu away, he never came back. The Qian family was happy to be left alone and stopped caring about Qian Xiaoshu. In fact, they were a little afraid of Shen Nan.

Shen Nan took Qian Xiaoshu home for a few months and treated him like his own son. The Qian family was worried that if they continued to beat or scold Qian Xiaoshu, Shen Nan's madness would be triggered again.

Under Luo Changshun's careful conditioning and Shen Nan's meticulous care, Qian Xiaoshu's skinny little face, which was yellow and obviously malnourished, has become white and rosy, he has gained weight, and has grown a lot taller.

In fact, Shen Nan had been nice to Qian Xiaoshu before, knowing that Qian Xiaoshu had a hard time in the Qian family. Because of the harassment caused by Old Lady Qian, no one in the village dared to be nice to Qian Xiaoshu, except Shen Nan.

Although the Qian family ran away quickly and no one was injured when she stabbed someone with a knife, the emotional damage was deep and lasting. So only when Shen Nan gave Qian Xiaoshu food and drink did Mrs. Qian dare not show her dissatisfaction.

Qian Xiaoshu knew very early on that he was not a child of the Qian family, not only because of the Qian family's bad attitude towards him, but mainly because he could not live with his parents, Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou, since he was a child.

Moreover, even if the two returned to the village, it would not be good for Qian Xiaoshu. Especially when Zhan Jinhua secretly looked at Sun Xiaohao and found that her son was so close to Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, she became jealous and crazy. Once she returned to the village, Qian Xiaoshu became her punching bag, and she was no less cruel than her old woman.

In addition, although he called Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou his parents, his household registration was under the name of Qian Jincai. This was also the reason why Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin could not find any information about their biological son under the names of those two people when they were looking for Sun Xiaohao's relatives 20 years later.

When Qian Xiaoshu was knocked unconscious and had a high fever by Old Lady Qian, he had a dream. In the dream, he cried and called for his mother, hoping that someone would come to save him! Soon, he felt that he had fallen into a warm embrace, and a warm current flowed through his body. His feet seemed to fall back to the ground, and he felt very solid.

When he was about to recover and arrived at his third uncle's house, he found that sense of security and comfort again with his third aunt.

However, the psychological trauma left by the Qian family on Qian Xiaoshu cannot be erased in a short period of time.

The time when the old lady of the Qian family was put in the sack was in mid-August, and there were a lot of longevity grass (Purslane) in the fields. The old couple of the Qian family liked to eat wild vegetables, and they heard that longevity grass had many benefits for the body, so they asked their granddaughter Qian Meijuan to dig wild vegetables in the fields.

In the past, this job would definitely be given to Qian Xiaoshu, but now Qian Xiaoshu can no longer be relied upon, and the old lady is reluctant to let her eldest grandson Qian Longbin suffer in the fields in such a hot day, so Qian Meijuan has become the hard laborer to satisfy old lady Qian's appetite.

Qian Meijuan was very unwilling in her heart, and she really wanted to ask her grandmother: Your eldest brother wanders around everywhere every day and does nothing, why don't you order him around?

However, she knew that saying this would not have any effect and would only cause her grandmother to scold her. When she was angry, she would call her granddaughter very obscene words such as "little bitch", "little slut", and "raise a man when you grow up".

The old lady said that they wanted to eat cold-mixed longevity grass for lunch. Qian Meijuan was not only responsible for digging the grass, but also for picking and washing the vegetables, and mixing them with various seasonings. If she didn't mix them well, her grandmother would scold her and call her a "waste".

Early in the morning, Qian Meijuan went to the fields, carrying a small basket to dig wild vegetables when the sun was not too strong. She happened to meet Qian Xiaoshu and Qian Baoge, who were also digging longevity grass. At this time, Shen Nan was watering the crops in the field not far away, letting the two children play by themselves on the edge of the field. Qian Xiaoshu suddenly had an idea and was introducing to Qian Baojuan, who had not worked much, what the various wild grasses on the ridges were called, which ones were edible, and which ones could be used as medicine. Afterwards, the two children dug edible wild vegetables and planned to take them home to mix with cold dishes.

Qian Meijuan glanced at her third aunt Shen Nan, who was concentrating on her work. Seeing that she was not paying attention to them, she squatted down and said, "Xiaoshu, Baoge, what are you doing digging so many wild vegetables?"

Qian Xiaoshu was extremely disgusted with the Qian family and had no good feelings towards this nominal sister. He turned his head away and ignored her.

Qian Meijuan was not discouraged and said, "Can I pick some wild vegetables from you guys? You guys have nothing to do anyway, so picking wild vegetables is like playing. I have to go to school soon, so just consider it as helping me out, okay?"

Grandma insisted on eating wild vegetables. If I didn't dig enough before going to school, she would beat and scold me when I got home! Little Tree, you also know how cruel grandma is and how bad her scolding is, right? "

No one knew more about the cruelty of Old Lady Qian than Qian Xiaoshu. Although Qian Meijuan had been scolded by Old Lady Qian, Qian Xiaoshu had never seen her being beaten. Moreover, when he was being beaten and scolded, this so-called sister never came forward to protect him.

Although Qian Xiaoshu is young, he knows how to bear grudges. In the past, he was a lamb to be slaughtered in the Qian family, without the ability to resist. But now that he has escaped from the devil's den, he has to find a way to take revenge bit by bit.

After hearing Qian Meijuan say that Old Lady Qian wanted to eat wild vegetables, and the most delicious wild vegetable in this season was longevity grass, Qian Xiaoshu instantly had an idea.

He said to Qian Meijuan with a stern face, "Sister, if you are in a hurry to go to school, you can go first. Tell me which dish grandma wants to eat, and come to Aunt San's house to get it after school.

I recently learned how to make cold dishes from my third aunt, and they are delicious. I will wash and mix the vegetables, and you can just take them home. You don’t have to wait for you to get out of school and cook them, and then your grandma will scold you.”

When Qian Meijuan heard this, she was surprised. What good thing is this? Her impression of Qian Xiaoshu was that he was beaten into submission by Old Lady Qian. He was timid and cowardly, and he did whatever he was told to do like a robot. So she never thought that Qian Xiaoshu would play tricks on her and fool her sincerely.

But she was still afraid of going to Shen Nan's house, worried that Shen Nan would go crazy and hurt her.

Qian Xiaoshu was sure that Qian Meijuan, a lazy girl, would be tempted by his proposal, and he also saw that her hesitation was because of Third Aunt. So Qian Xiaoshu added, "Sister, don't be afraid of Third Aunt. She only beats adults, not children. She is very nice to me and Baoge. You see, last time she scolded people, she mainly scolded grandma and your dad. She didn't scold anyone else, and she didn't scold you, right?"

When Qian Meijuan heard this, it seemed to be true, so she threw the small basketball basket to Qian Xiaoshu and went to school leisurely and leisurely.
