Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

As he spoke, he had already instructed the waiter in the restaurant to prepare a few of his signature dishes to make do.

The reason why he mentioned "so-so" was because Zhang Laoer had personally experienced the food at Tong'an Inn this morning, and compared with the delicacies cooked by his second son, the difference was like heaven and earth.

At this moment, the hungry people didn't care about much else and just hurriedly took a few bites of the food.

After the meal, as night fell, Zhang Laoer took Xiao Youniang's hand and strolled in the backyard of the inn, enjoying a moment of tranquility and leisure after the meal.

As the night grew darker, he sent Xiao Youniang and Wu Ya back to their room to rest.

Before going to sleep, Xiao Youniang's little hand still tightly grasped the corner of her father's clothes, "Dad, will Mom really come back tomorrow?"

Zhang Laoer caressed his daughter's round little head lovingly and assured her, "I will. If Mom can't go home, Dad will take you to visit her in prison. It's dark and cold in the prison. Are you scared, young mother?"

"No!" Little Youniang answered clearly and loudly, "No matter how dark or cold it is, Youniang is not afraid. Because I have my father and brothers and sisters here, Youniang will protect you!"

It was late at night. Zhang Wuya whispered softly in her sister's ear, and when the little girl was half asleep and half awake, she made a vow awkwardly: "I will protect you too. No matter whether your parents are around or not, I will protect you well. This is my promise to you!"

The next morning, when Zhang Laoer and his four children were enjoying breakfast in the inn and planning to set out again after dinner to inquire about the latest news about Xu Liyun, a servant from Zhou Xiucai's house hurried over.

"Brother Zhang, this is such good news! There was news from the government office that the Cheng family took the initiative to withdraw the complaint last night. It turned out that the old lady in their family woke up and found that she had eaten food that restrained each other by mistake, not that the tiger skin was poisonous. With the old lady's words, my sister-in-law will soon be free and reunited with her family at home!"

The boy who came to deliver the letter had an innocent look on his face. He said his name was Xiaowen and he was an attendant of Mr. Zhou.

The bowl of porridge in Xiao Youniang's hand suddenly lost its favor. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She ran to Xiao Wen's side as lightly as a flash of smoke, and her childish voice was full of expectation: "Brother Xiao Wen, thank you so much for bringing us this great news! When can mother go home? Can we go to greet her in person? Mother has been away from us for too long. She must be very sad to be there alone."

Xiaowen felt a warm feeling in his heart when he was called brother by such a little girl with a voice as sweet as honey.

He softened his voice unconsciously and explained patiently, "Yes, the Cheng family has withdrawn the lawsuit, but the magistrate still needs to investigate all the details and ensure fairness before closing the case. It will probably take a day or two. If you are anxious to see Mrs. Xu immediately, it shouldn't be a problem to bring some silver to smooth things over."

Although Magistrate Long is known for his strictness, he is also considerate of others.

For prisoners like Xu Liyun who are about to regain their freedom, it is not difficult to allow family members to meet them as appropriate.

When Xiao Youniang heard the answer, she immediately turned her expectant gaze to her father Zhang Laoer.

Seeing her father nod slightly, agreeing to her request, a bright smile instantly broke out on her face.

Xiaowen used his connections to quickly get in touch with the jailer, and Zhang Laoer decisively took out ten taels of silver from his pocket to use as a tool to smooth things over, which earned him a precious opportunity to meet.

Little Youniang suggested with her big eyes flashing, "Daddy, let's buy some more meat that Mom likes to eat? Mom craves stewed meat the most, and she definitely won't be able to eat that in there. We should prepare more, so that Mom won't get hungry and thin in there."

This sentence reminded everyone that how can one leave empty-handed after a visit?

So they eagerly asked the inn waiter which place had the most famous food, and then purchased two roast chickens with golden skin, a fragrant roast duck, a pile of meat pies, and pastries, and filled a bamboo basket.

As the number of visitors was limited, Zhang Laoer briefly instructed the other children and then led Xiao Youniang to the county government prison.

Compared to their previous concerns, the environment in the women's prison was acceptable, although it was still chilly, the light was dim, and there was a subtle smell of mold in the air.

Xiao Youniang followed her father closely. Occasionally, a female prisoner would give her a complex and strange smile on the way. She tightly grasped the corner of her father's clothes until they arrived at the cell where Xu Liyun was held.

At that moment, her eyes became moist, and her tears were filled with longing and heartache for her mother.

"Mother, you have suffered!"

Xu Liyun looked up and saw the tears flashing in her daughter's eyes, and her heart was filled with sadness and relief. The deep affection between mother and daughter needed no words at this moment, and their hearts were closely connected to each other.

Xiao Youniang carefully took the basket from Zhang Laoer.

Xu Liyun looked at this scene, a smile inadvertently appearing on the corner of her mouth, and then she threw the steamed bread in her hand, which was as rough as a stone, aside without hesitation.

Although the delicacies recommended by the waiter were slightly inferior to Zhang Siwa's skillful cooking, for Xu Liyun, they were much better than the plain porridge she had been eating in the past few days.

The aroma of the food seemed to have life, wandering freely in this small cell, evoking the long-lost feeling of hunger in the stomachs of the surrounding female prisoners.

The six female prisoners who were in the same room with Xu Liyun felt unprecedented shock when surrounded by this fragrance.

They once thought that even a strong person like Xu Liyun could not escape the suffering behind bars. However, today's visit was like a ray of light shining into the darkness, allowing them to see a difference.

It turns out that this seemingly aloof woman also has a warm family, a husband and children who love her deeply.

Xiao Youniang looked at her mother, who was eating in a somewhat rough manner due to her eagerness, and her eyes were full of heartache.

She quickly handed over the treasured bamboo tube in her arms, which was filled with locust flower honey water that she had prepared herself.

Xu Liyun took the bamboo tube, and the honey water slowly flowed into her throat. She immediately felt the greasiness of the roast chicken being gently dissolved.

Zhang Laoer saw this and looked relieved. He said softly, "There is good news. The Cheng family has withdrawn the charges against you. The magistrate found out that you have nothing to do with Mrs. Cheng's case. You will be free soon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liyun only responded with a slight "hmm".

Recalling the abruptness and chaos of the day she was arrested, she tried to ask the reason, but was only met with the vague answer of "offending the powerful."

Thinking about it now, this disaster was so absurd and unfair.

Thinking of this, Xu Liyun couldn't help but sigh and secretly smiled bitterly in her heart: "If I had known this would happen, I should have been more content and just hunted a few rabbits. Why would I have offended the tiger and brought myself misfortune? I also wasted time selling medicine to save people."
