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

Xiao Youniang's words were like a cold wind that pierced through the couple's hearts, waking them up suddenly, and the forgotten corners deep in their memories gradually became clear.

In addition to a young boy, the third family did have a girl, but she disappeared silently several years ago.

Now thinking back, could it be that the missing girl was really sold as a child bride as the rumors said?!

As soon as this thought came to their mind, the two of them turned pale and were horrified.

In the Zhang family's courtyard, the tranquility was torn apart by a sudden shout; the moonlight was dim and the starlight was sparse.

At the edge of the village, the dim light barely outlined a figure. It was a thin girl, ragged and staggering. Under the cover of the night, she screamed with all her strength towards home: "Mother, mother...save me, let me in, mother, save me!"

The thin voice, carrying endless fear and desire, penetrated the silence of the night and inadvertently floated into Li Guifen's heart.

Li Guifen sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. She suddenly felt something strange in her heart and the image of her eldest daughter Zhang Erya appeared in front of her.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, bringing her back to those miserable days.

Zhang Liuwa, the only child in the family, was plagued by illness. Her family was in financial difficulty and had nowhere to turn to for help. Even her own family was in a difficult situation and could not take care of themselves.

When she was completely hopeless, Li Guifen made a decision in tears. With the help of her wet nurse, she sent her eldest daughter to a family far away in exchange for a mere five taels of silver, which gave hope of survival to her sixth child. She also secretly gave one tael of silver to her parents' family in the hope that it would help them out of their urgent need.

As time passed, Zhang Liuwa's condition gradually improved, and the family conditions improved slightly. Li Guifen asked Zhang Laosan to hunt a wild rabbit, wanting to bring it to her eldest daughter as a consolation, but she was unable to see her daughter in person. It was Erya's adoptive mother Yu Min who coldly accepted the gift and left a chilling remark, cutting off the connection between them.

As time went by, although Li Guifen would occasionally send some clothes, the desire to visit faded away with time.

But tonight, this dusty concern suddenly came flooding in like a tide.

"Mom, open the door, it's me, Erya..."

The cries for help once again pierced through the night, clear and urgent. No longer an illusion, they suddenly woke Li Guifen from her trance.

Zhang Laosan was startled by his wife's sudden action. Seeing her abandoning the sleeping Liuwa and hurriedly getting dressed, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you? Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Li Guifen's face was as cold as frost, and she only responded briefly: "I heard Erya calling for help, I have to go and see!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed out the door, leaving behind a trail of anxious footsteps.

Zhang Laosan hesitated for a moment, but he was still worried. He put on his shoes hastily and followed closely, muttering to himself, trying to convince himself that this was just a dream: "How could Erya come back at this time? She should be in Wangjia Village, which is dozens of miles away from here, and it's late at night..."

Before he could finish his words, the gate of the courtyard was creaked open and the scene in front of him stunned Zhang Laosan.

Outside the door, under the moonlight, Erya, the eldest daughter who had not been seen for many years, was wearing thin clothes. Her thin body was trembling in the cold wind, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of helplessness and pleading.

At that moment, all the doubts and confusions disappeared in an instant, leaving only a heart full of heartache.

Li Guifen's heart trembled. The scene before her tore her heart as a mother.

She never expected that her beloved daughter Zhang Erya would fall into such a miserable situation.

She quickly opened her arms and hugged her daughter, who was almost a skeleton.

At that moment, she clearly felt that her daughter's body was as light as a fallen leaf in the wind, which could tell better than any words the suffering Zhang Erya had endured outside.

Tears, like pearls from a broken string, rolled down Li Guifen's cheeks.

She didn't bother to wipe it or anything else. She just dragged her daughter over the threshold at an almost crazy speed.

She hurriedly pulled over the thick quilt that Zhang Liuwa loved so much, which was the warmest quilt in the house, and wrapped it layer by layer around her daughter's cold little body.

The chubby little Zhang Liuwa was awakened by this sudden movement. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw in a daze a strange and thin figure occupying the space that originally belonged to him.

The loss of his bedding made him pout in dissatisfaction, but when he saw his mother in tears and his father's consolation could not calm her sorrow, the little boy felt unprecedented confusion and loss of being ignored.

His complaints, though they came from the innocent words of a child, blew into Zhang Erya's already shaky heart, causing her to feel a chill deep in her bones even in her mother's warm embrace.

How could Li Guifen not know the changes her daughter had endured over the years?

Even though she favored Zhang Liuwa in her daily life, her heart was always soft towards her only daughter.

She had begged Mrs. Zhang countless times, just to find a happy family for her daughter, and was willing to contribute extra food and meat from the family every year.

When she learned that her precious son did not even recognize his own sister who had saved his life, and even said such chilling words without restraint, Li Guifen became furious and slapped Zhang Liuwa's buttocks several times, both for the purpose of educating him and to vent her inner anger.

Zhang Liuwa's crying sounded particularly abrupt in this room full of complicated emotions, but no one was in the mood to comfort him at the moment.

Li Guifen's eyes were fixed on her daughter, her heart aching, while Zhang Laosan was overwhelmed by guilt and regret.

Seeing this, the little boy Zhang Liuwa was tired of crying, so he simply calmed down on his own, turned over and continued to sleep, leaving the room full of silence and heaviness.

Li Guifen put all her heart and soul on her daughter. She looked at her thin face carefully, and her words were full of concern and regret: "My child, why are you so thin? Is it because the Wang family treats you badly?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Erya's long-held strength collapsed. She burst into tears, pouring out all her grievances and sufferings at this moment: "Mom, my life is so hard! They don't give me food, and often beat and scold me. Mom, I escaped when they weren't paying attention. If I don't escape again, I'm really afraid that I will never come back!"

As the words fell, the faint scars on Zhang Erya's body were revealed. The bruises and purples seemed to be silently telling her story.

Li Guifen was heartbroken. She noticed that the scars were strategically placed, obviously intentional, avoiding the face and arms which could be easily seen, and choosing hidden places that could be easily covered by clothes. Especially the bruises between the ribs and the large area of ​​contusion on the abdomen, it was clear that he had been severely beaten.
