Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 44 Return is a blessing
"It's getting late, we should leave now. Be careful. Remember, we will be waiting at the prison gate to welcome you back in a few days."
Zhang Laoer's voice was low and powerful. His instructions before leaving were like a warm light, illuminating the darkness in Hu Bin's heart.
The little girl also imitated the adults, waving her chubby little hands in the air.
"Uncle Hu, you must protect yourself and don't let yourself get hurt again. Dad, I, and Mom will take you home soon!"
Xiao Youniang's words were like a clear spring, washing away the dust in Hu Bin's heart. Tears welled up in his eyes and he nodded vigorously. That "OK" was filled with endless gratitude and expectation.
It was not until the figures of Xiao Youniang and Zhang Laoer gradually blurred at the end of the dim cell passage and finally disappeared that Hu Bin slowly withdrew his gaze.
Zhang Laoer and his party brought not only food, but also warmth. Hu Bin knew that this precious gift would not stay here for long, so in front of everyone, without waiting for others to ask for it, he took the initiative to respectfully deliver the food to the "boss" in the cell.
He had no other extravagant wishes, only that he could reduce the physical and mental torture as much as possible during these tormenting days.
This timely choice won Hu Bin a brief peace.
In the following four days, although he was still surrounded by iron bars and indifference, at least he was no longer bullied for no reason.
Finally, at dawn of the fourth day, along with a ray of light, the jailer's cold sound of chains rang out, bringing good news.
The Cheng family's case was investigated and confirmed to have nothing to do with the priceless tiger skin. Hu Bin and Xu Liyun, who were innocently implicated, were cleared of their grievances and regained their freedom.
On the day of release, Zhang Laoer, with his children, full of joy, stood outside the prison gate with Hu Bin's family, anxiously and excitedly waiting for the gate to open.
Since Hu Bin was arrested innocently, the entire Hu family has never given up any possibility of rescuing him.
At first, faced with the desperate situation of Hu Bin being imprisoned, the whole family was immersed in endless tears and sorrow. Deep in their hearts, they were full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards the indifference and ruthlessness of the Cheng family. In addition to killing each other, they even dragged the innocent Hu Bin into this vortex of right and wrong.
Fortunately, fate seemed to take a turn at this moment.
The old lady of the Cheng family believed in the law of cause and effect, and firmly demanded that the Cheng family withdraw the charges against Hu Bin and must not let an innocent person be wronged.
Although Mr. Cheng and the two young masters were unwilling, their opposition seemed insignificant in front of the respected old lady in the family.
In order to avoid angering the old lady and bringing harm to the entire family, the Cheng family finally had to withdraw the charges against Hu Bin and announced to the public that the old lady's poisoning was caused by accidental ingestion.
However, the Cheng family's resentment did not dissipate. They sent their butler Mo Qiang to the Hu family's shop in a menacing manner and demanded a refund for the money spent on the tiger skin.
Mr. Hu was deeply saddened by the injustice suffered by his son, and he also felt sorry for the top-quality fur and the money lost with it. Both were his dearest treasures, and this sudden change undoubtedly placed a heavy burden on his heart.
"From the moment that precious animal skin entered the market, we set the price much lower than expected. We thought that this generous gift could become the cornerstone of building a bridge of friendship and further strengthen the relationship between the Cheng family and our Hu family. However, things are unpredictable. Not only did the plan that was supposed to bring us a lot of money fail, but even my innocent son suffered a disaster because of it. The attitude of the Cheng family is even more incredible, as if they are the victims, setting obstacles for us everywhere and confronting us head-on. When has my Hu family ever offended any big shots to suffer such injustice and difficulties?"
Mr. Hu held the copper coins that had become slightly dull due to repeated rubbing, and the annoyance in his heart surged like a tide.
He was extremely frugal in his daily life, so he would do such a ridiculous thing as to endure the discomfort and swallow a bowl of glutinous rice balls that were not to his taste.
Now, facing this sudden huge loss, Mr. Hu feels depressed and just hopes to find someone to talk to. He hopes that he can turn the lost silver into tears and let it flow out, which may bring him a little relief.
Mrs. Hu knew her husband's character very well. Seeing him treat his savior Zhang Laoer like this, she couldn't help but get angry.
She tugged at her husband's sleeve, trying to interrupt his endless complaints. "What's the point of talking to Xiao Zhang about this? We are lucky that our son has returned safely."
Zhang Laoer was overwhelmed by the complicated situation for a moment, and his eyes turned to the little girl in his arms. It seemed that only the innocence of this little girl could ease the tense atmosphere before him.
Xiao Youniang smiled at the right time, and that smile was like a warm breeze in spring, gently blowing across everyone's heart. Even Mrs. Hu was involuntarily infected by this warm current, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
Mrs. Hu has only this pair of children. The eldest daughter has been married for less than a year, and the youngest son is not yet married. Mrs. Hu is at the age where she should enjoy the joy of playing with her grandchildren, but she can only watch other families having fun around their grandchildren. The envy and longing in her heart are beyond words.
Although the two men changed into clean clothes and bid farewell to the constraints of prison uniforms, Hu Bin was obviously much more haggard, and the bruises on his face that had not yet completely disappeared showed the difficulties they had experienced during this period.
His weak condition made Mrs. Hu and Hu Juan feel heartbroken, and they couldn't stop crying.
"My dear Bin'er, how much suffering have you endured!"
Mrs. Hu hugged her son tightly, her tears flowing like a broken bead curtain. She ran her fingers over her son's thin back, feeling the sharp edges of the bones, which made her feel heartbroken.
Hu Bin, Mr. Hu, and Hu's brother-in-law hurried to comfort them, fearing that the mother and daughter would hurt their bodies due to excessive grief.
The Zhang family had already made preparations as if they had foreseen it. As soon as Xu Liyun showed up, Xiao Youniang and the other children came forward and presented her with snacks and sweet honey water that had been prepared long ago.
Xiao Youniang was even more meticulous. She pulled out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped her mother's face and hands. She said with distressed eyes: "Mom, you must have suffered a lot to become so thin!"
The other children looked at Xu Liyun's face, which was radiating a healthy glow. A hint of doubt emerged in their eyes, as they secretly wondered how such a person could have anything to do with the word "suffering".
Xu Liyun thought about how she had not eaten properly in the morning because she was in a hurry, so she grabbed a piece of bread and finished it in just a few bites.
After a period of turmoil, the Hu family gradually calmed down and warmly invited the Zhang family to their mansion for a short rest.
Mrs. Hu smiled politely and said gently, "Last time, Xiao Zhang bravely saved my old Hu, and we have not had time to repay this kindness. This time, Xiao Bin's unintentional mistake has implicated Madam Xu. We should really find an appropriate time to express our gratitude to you and express our deep apologies to Madam Xu."
