Chapter 265: Chapter 265: The Young Lady of the Zhao Family Returns to the Village Chapter 265: Chapter 265: The Young Lady of the Zhao Family Returns to the Village However, Luo Siyan also said they wouldn’t use it for free and didn’t want to trouble the villagers, so he immediately placed a dollar there, and only then did the Chaoyang Brigade’s stockman happily harness the donkey cart and find a member to accompany them on their way.
After loading the goods onto the cart, it was truly filled to the brim, with no room left for people.
They had no choice but to follow behind the donkey cart on their way to Qingshan Village.
The villager sending them off asked, “Whose family are you headed to?”
Zhao Jianing originally didn’t want the Luo Family Brothers to say, but how could Luo Siyuan go along with her wishes? He said, “We’re going to Zhao Pulin’s family in Qingshan Village, she is his daughter, Zhao Jianing.”
The person slapped their thigh and said, “Is that the daughter who got swapped by his wife?”
Luo Siyuan said, “Yes, we’re a bit worried, so we personally came to escort our foster sister back.”
Looking at the cartful of things, the person said, “You’re really good to her, even bringing so much stuff for her.”
Luo Siyuan said, “These are her everyday necessities, after all, our family has raised her for more than a decade, and we have feelings for her. My parents were uneasy and had us brothers make this special trip to bring her back.”
The man turned his head to glance at Zhao Jianing, and with a hint of disdain said, “Coming back to our rural area, there won’t be any good days ahead; someone her age should be earning work points in the fields by now.”
Zhao Jianing turned pale upon hearing this.
Luo Siyuan countered, “No worries, my sister has money, enough to last her until she gets married; she won’t starve without working the fields.”
Luo Siyan looked at his younger brother and thought to himself that the fourth was truly a mercenary dumpling.
Before long, they arrived at Qingshan Village. The driver had relatives in the village, so he was relatively familiar with it. Upon entering, he saw people resting on the bridge and shouted, “Can someone point me to Zhao Pulin’s house? His city-born daughter has come back.”
Those sitting by the bridge all stood up, curious to see what the daughter that the Zhao Family exchanged looked like. After someone provided directions, the driver took the donkey cart straight to the Zhao Family’s front gate.
Yelling into the courtyard, he said, “Zhao Family Brothers, your city-born daughter has returned; come out quickly to unload the stuff.”
Zhao Pulin had gone to work since, because of Gao Suhua’s affair, he hadn’t worked for many days, and if he didn’t work now, his family would have to face the cold winds. But his young daughter Zhao Xiaoyun was at home.”
When Xiaoyun heard someone outside shouting that her city-born sixth sister had returned, she quickly opened the gate.
As she saw the cartful of goods, her face immediately beamed with joy, and she said, “My dad has gone to work, I’ll go call him back right now.”
After speaking, she ran towards the workplace of the day.
Soon, the members of the Zhao Family had all come back. Zhao Pulin, seeing his sixth daughter who looked a bit like his second daughter, had tears welling up in his eyes; this was the daughter he had seen only once at birth.
At that time, because it was another daughter, he received her from the doctor without taking a close look, and later, eager to save money and leave the hospital early, he returned to the village first to borrow a donkey cart from the brigade to fetch them from the city.
He never anticipated that it was during the time he went to borrow the cart that his child was switched. By the time he returned to the city, it was Gao Suhua excitedly telling him about exchanging for a son.
At the time, he also thought that having a son to provide for him in old age was quite good. And since it was all settled in the city, the villagers wouldn’t know, so they left the hospital quickly after the exchange. He was completely unaware that his biological daughter had been swapped by his wife much earlier.
He had not expected that the family willing to actively give them a son wasn’t looking to exchange for a little cotton jacket to keep close to their heart. Instead, they didn’t want their own son to suffer being sent down to the countryside and hoped to find him a family with a better social status to live with.
Thinking back, he and his wife were so naive, not even considering who would willingly exchange a son for a daughter; they thought they had struck luck, but never imagined that they had been calculated against, haha!
In the fields, upon hearing that the Zhao Family’s city-born daughter had come back, many were itching with curiosity and wanted to come back to see what the daughter looked like. However, they had already put in half a day’s work and leaving now would mean a deduction in work points.
So everyone quickened their pace, hoping to finish early enough to earn their work points before returning to witness the excitement.
