Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 1: Money Loser, Your Parents Are Gone
The autumn breeze blows gently, and the night is as cool as clear water.
In Zhangjiazhuang, Xiao Youniang finally fell asleep despite her rumbling stomach, but was pulled back to reality by a hurried knock on the door.
"Uncle Zhang Fu, the second brother and his family came here in Zhang Qiangsheng's donkey cart. Something happened on the way. The cart flipped into a stream and all five of them fell into the water! Hurry up and save them. It may be too late!"
The family members were as anxious as ants on a hot pan and opened the door in a hurry.
When Old Mrs. Zhang heard that something happened to her second son's family, she immediately beat her thighs and cried loudly, criticizing Zhang Qiangsheng's family while crying and kept asking them for compensation.
Zhang Fu hurriedly called his other two sons to go out together. The three of them put on their clothes and followed the young man, running towards the creek. His daughter-in-law and children, who were awakened by the noise, were left standing by the fence, looking at the dark road in the distance, their hearts in turmoil.
When Xiao Youniang heard the noise and hurriedly put on her patched clothes and came out, her grandfather and two uncles had already run away.
She vaguely remembered the appearance of her parents and her brother and sister. She felt a little uneasy and went forward to help her grandmother who was still crying and cursing on the ground: "Grandma, are my parents back? When will they be home?"
The child was in a deep sleep, and the little mother didn't hear the details clearly. She thought that her parents who had not been home for many years had finally returned, and she felt very happy.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw this not-so-lovely granddaughter, she became furious. As soon as she stood firm, she kicked her three-year-old granddaughter to the ground.
"You are such a money-loser, and you are still looking forward to coming back. Your parents are almost dying, don't you know that? You just eat for free all day long, and I, an old man, have to serve you. You are such a freeloader, you should have stopped your mother from keeping you at home!"
She kept chattering, thinking about the money she had not yet received, and followed the backs of several men towards the creek river with concern.
This time, he hurriedly called the second son and his family back to raise enough money for the schooling of the smartest grandson in the family. What if the second son’s money was gone, how would his grandson go to school?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but curse several relatives who had died young, complaining that they left at the wrong time and affected the important affairs of her precious grandson.
The little girl was kicked to the ground by her grandmother, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.
She rubbed her stomach which was hurt by the kick, slowly got up, and carefully brushed off the dirt on her body.
This is the only good dress she has, and she won’t have any other options if it gets dirty.
She didn't quite understand what her grandmother said, she just heard that her parents were back. Thinking that her brothers and sisters were all cared for by her parents, she also hoped that her father would take her to ride a "big horse" and her mother would braid her hair.
The most mischievous Zhang Liuwa saw the opportunity, sniffed his nose and came over to pull her hair, messing up her braids: "You loser, did you hear me? Your parents are going to die, and you'll be a wild child without a father or a mother from now on!"
Little Youniang tilted her head and tried her best to protect her pigtails: "Brother Liuwa, what does death mean?"
Zhang Liuwa was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain. She wanted to wipe her nose with her hand and rub it on Xiao Youniang's clothes, but when she saw that was Xiao Youniang's only clean clothes, she dodged.
"Who is your brother? You are a money-loser and you are not worthy of being his brother! Humph, a money-loser! I heard from grandma that if big brother doesn't have enough money for his studies, he will sell you!" Seeing that his snot couldn't touch your young mother, Zhang Liuwa was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
He pulled a strand of hair on the little girl's head and pinched her face hard until he saw tears in her eyes. Only then did he stop with satisfaction.
Zhang Liuwa had vented enough. Li Guifen, the wife of the third room, yawned loudly, then called her son back to sleep, thinking that the life or death of the couple in the second room had nothing to do with her.
Little Youniang stood there alone, tears welling up in her round eyes, which she had to wipe away quietly: "I'm not a money-loser in my family. Uncle Zhou Xiucai said that I'm my parents' sweetheart."
Faintly she could hear the gentle voice of Third Aunt coaxing Zhang Liuwa to sleep. At this moment, her longing for her parents overwhelmed her fear of the darkness.
She clenched her fists, cheered herself up secretly, took a step with her short legs, stepped over the threshold, and groped her way towards the creek.
The children in the village loved to run around at a young age. Although her brothers and sisters were unwilling to take little Niang to play with them, she had gone to the creek with her grandmother to wash clothes, so she still remembered the way.
Not long after they walked, the faint light of an old lantern in the distance barely illuminated the creek. Xiao Youniang spotted the familiar figures of her grandpa and grandma in the crowd and ran over happily.
Fortunately, it didn't rain much in Zhangjiazhuang these days, and the water level of the creek river dropped a lot. Zhang Laoer's family was not washed too far away, and all five members of the family were salvaged safely.
However, after seeing the people being rescued, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Fu's first reaction was not to check the safety of their children and grandchildren, but to hurriedly reach for the bags of money around the two men's waists.
After this touch, Mrs. Zhang's already sagging face sank even more. With a gloomy look on her face, she searched the two people from head to toe until she was sure that there was not a single penny left in their pockets. Then she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
"You two prodigal sons, what are you doing back here for? You're causing me so much trouble when you're alive, and you're causing me so much trouble when you're dead. What debt did I owe in my previous life that I raised a bunch of debt collectors like you!"
When Mrs. Zhang thought about the five taels of silver that were supposed to flow away with the river, she felt a pain in her heart like a needle.
Xiao You's mother didn't understand what was going on. She only heard her grandparents calling "Lao Er" and "Li Yun" to the five pale-faced people on the ground.
Xiao Youniang had long known from her family that her parents' names were "Lao Er" and "Li Yun". Based on the names, she immediately recognized that the people lying on the ground were her biological parents and siblings.
But when she saw her parents and brothers and sisters lying unconscious by the river, she felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask her grandmother for help.
"Grandma, are my parents and brothers and sisters feeling unwell? Can we carry them home and see a doctor?" Xiao You's mother remembered that when her eldest brother, Da Wa, from her uncle's family, was sick, her grandparents specially invited a doctor from the town to treat him.
After taking a few sips of medicine, Big Brother Wa stopped coughing soon.
Xiao You's mother thought that if the bearded doctor also came to treat her parents and siblings, they would definitely get better soon.
Old Mrs. Zhang was feeling sad about the missing money, and when she heard what Xiao Youniang said, she became even more furious.
She pushed Xiao Youniang away, and without asking why she was here so late at night, she started to scold her: "Looking for a doctor?! These debt collectors still want to find a doctor? I have lost all my money, and you still want me to pay for a doctor? Forget it!"
If there weren't outsiders watching nearby, Old Lady Zhang would have definitely cursed out even more nasty words.
