Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 3 Are you still alive?
On the other side of the riverbank, You Niang couldn't wait for her grandparents and Uncle Chang Qing, so she shivered in the cold wind and her stomach growled.
She rubbed her belly and sighed, "Why am I hungry again? Grandma said that if children eat too much, their stomachs will explode!"
Having said that, when she thought of the eggs her brothers shared, You Niang couldn't help licking her lips.
"What do eggs taste like? Brother Liuwa said they are delicious. I want to try one, too, and bring it back to my parents and brothers and sisters."
You Niang's voice was full of desire for eggs, and the eyelids of several people lying nearby twitched involuntarily.
Just then, there was a murmur of voices coming from afar, and when I listened carefully, there seemed to be some dissatisfied grumblings.
The noise startled You Niang and she stood up to look around. The figures of the Zhang family gradually came into view.
When the little girl saw her relatives, she immediately smiled. Uncle Changqing was right. Her grandparents really came to find someone!
Young mother came forward with great anticipation: "Grandpa and grandma, are you taking mom and dad to see a doctor? The stream is very cold, and mom and dad's hands are frozen red. Grandma, please take them home to warm them up."
You Niang remembered that her third aunt said that Liuwa was sick, so her grandmother immediately bought him some candy and even saved eggs for him every day to nourish his body.
She also hopes that her parents and brothers and sisters can eat eggs and recover quickly.
But when Old Lady Zhang heard this, instead of showing her sympathy to Zhang Liuwa, she scolded him harshly: "How did you take care of your parents? You didn't even come home to report that they were dead! You are such a loser! You killed your parents!"
Before she finished her words, the old lady's hands had already fallen heavily on Youniang, each blow was merciless.
"You are a jinx! You killed my parents. Keeping you in the Zhang family will only bring bad luck to the whole family! After we settle them down, we will sell you off so that you won't be a burden to us anymore!"
You Niang's eyes were red from the beating, and she didn't understand why a single word from her would bring about such a severe punishment from her grandmother.
While struggling, she asked her grandfather and uncle for help, but they looked away tacitly, as if they could not see her tears.
Old man Zhang knew clearly that his wife was angry with the little girl in order to pave the way for selling her in the future.
Although he felt a little bit reluctant towards his younger granddaughter, when he thought about the future of his older grandson, he hardened his heart and agreed with his wife's approach.
Besides, Xiao Youniang is a lovely girl and could surely be sold to a good family as a maid. Selling her away might be a way out rather than suffering at home.
Xiao Youniang cried until her voice was hoarse, begging Old Lady Zhang not to sell her, saying over and over again: "I have taken good care of my parents. I am not a jinx. Please don't sell me. I will be obedient and work harder in the future, and not make Grandpa and Grandma angry..."
But Mrs. Zhang had heard this so many times that her ears were callused: "I have my own ideas. You killed your parents, how can I dare to keep you..."
"Cough cough!"
Two sudden coughs choked the rest of Mrs. Zhang's words.
When the people on the river bank heard the sound and looked over, they saw that Zhang Laoer, who had been stiff, sat up incredibly.
"Mother, who did you say was killed by Young Mother?"
"Oh my god! Is he a zombie?!"
The thin figure who suddenly sat up scared several people out of their wits.
Old Mrs. Zhang's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Old Man Zhang and his two sons subconsciously ran away, not even caring about his wife.
The young girl broke free from the old lady's hand and ran to the man. She stared blankly at the man who had woken up, her big tearful eyes unblinking: "You, are you my father?"
After saying this, Xiao Youniang nervously clutched the corners of her clothes, like a little animal waiting to be judged.
Although the thin man was in a mess, his eyes were extremely gentle. He stared at the young girl for a while, met her expectant eyes, and finally couldn't bear to say no.
Instead, he nodded slightly.
After getting a positive answer, the little girl burst into tears and threw herself into the man's arms, almost knocking him down.
Zhang Laoer was at a loss for what to do with this sudden hug. His body stiffened and he instinctively wanted to push the little girl away.
But Xiao Youniang completely ignored her father's rejection and clung to Zhang Laoer like a piece of candy.
"Daddy, I miss you and mom so much. I have been waiting for you to come home, from sunrise to sunset, from the grass green to the grass yellow. I counted how many moons waxed and waned before I finally waited for you."
The childish voice was mixed with longing, and the innocent emotion made Zhang Laoer even more at a loss.
His raised hand hung in the air for a while, and finally, amid the little girl's sobs, he gently placed it on her back, comforting his aggrieved daughter.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhang, who was hiding far away, asked tentatively: "Old Second, is it really you? Are you still alive?"
"Mom, why don't you ask me instead of asking the second son?"
The one who responded was not Zhang Laoer, but Xu Liyun who also sat up. This change once again frightened the Zhang family. Fortunately, after experiencing Zhang Laoer's "resurrection", they quickly calmed down.
"Liyun, are you okay?" Boss Zhang, who was hiding behind his parents, also mustered up the courage to speak.
The night was as dark as ink, just covering up the cunning on Xu Liyun's face, so that the Zhang family could not see it. She patted her eldest son's head with a smile and said, "It's not just me. Our third child, fourth child and fifth child are all very lively."
There was a crisp slap, and Zhang Sanwa's face was as gloomy as water, as if the whole world owed him something. He turned over from the sand by the river, wondering whether he had woken up early or was awakened by this slap.
Then, the cheerful Zhang Siwa and the alert Zhang Wuya, who pursed her lips, stood up straight as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Zhang Sanwa's eyes swept coldly over everyone around him, only lingering on Youniang.
Zhang Siwa looked around curiously until he noticed that Xiao Youniang was secretly looking at him, then he smiled at his sister. Xiao Youniang also happily returned an even brighter smile.
Zhang Wuya quickly looked around, her eyes moving among the sharp rocks and branches, and she was very alert.
"Oh, you debt collectors are all fine!" Old Mrs. Zhang confirmed that they were safe and sound, and she felt relieved, but she continued to chatter.
"Why are you lying here instead of staying at home? Are you waiting for me to carry you? You are a bunch of food wasteers. Not only did you get your family back safely, you also lost the silver I saved with great effort! Go to the water and find the silver now. If you can't find it, don't even think about setting foot in the house!"
Old Mrs. Zhang cursed and picked up a branch, pretending to hit her son and daughter-in-law.
The frightened little Youniang in Zhang Laoer's arms saw her and quickly twisted her body to block Xu Liyun. She cried until her voice was hoarse. Her babyish pleading was heartbreaking: "Grandma, don't hit my mother. Youniang is going to pick up silver. Youniang is going to the river to find silver. They just woke up. They need medicine, otherwise they will get sick. Grandma, don't let them go to the river!"
