Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 241: Escape from the Mountains (22)

Chen Xianhua coughed, and the nurse beside him quickly brought him a glass of water.

After the water moistened his throat, Chen Xianhua said slowly: "Our family is not so poor that we can't support two children."

This means that both of them can stay.

Xiaocao was not surprised either, and only said, "I have one more request."

Chen Xianhua looked at her.

"There are many women in the village who have experienced the same thing as my mother. I hope you can assist the police in their rescue efforts."

Chen Xianhua nodded, turned around and told the nurse to ask his secretary to come over.

Not long after Chen Bangrui arrived, Chen Xianhe and Chen Binghua also arrived at the sanatorium.

"Are these Sister Shanshan's two daughters!?" Chen Binghua looked at the two children who looked like dried radishes with a complicated expression.

Seeing Chen Shanshan sitting on the hospital bed with lifeless eyes, Chen Binghua was even more furious: "Where is that man? If he's not dead, I'll go and chop him up right now."

Chen Xianhe was also very angry. His niece Chen Shanshan was a child he had watched grow up. Now she was suffering such a great crime, and he felt bad seeing it.

After hearing Chen Binghua's words, Xiaocao said calmly, "He's dead. He injured his brother and fell into the river and died."

As soon as the words fell, all the men in the room looked at Xiaocao.

Chen Bingrui and Chen Xianhe didn't say anything, but looked at him secretly.

Chen Binghua was shocked: "Sister Shanshan gave birth to a son?"

Xiao Cao said, "Yes, he was hit in the neck and died from excessive blood loss."

The calm tone seemed to be telling a story from a book, and Chen Biaorui immediately became suspicious.

This child is too calm.

Chen Binghua said: "I must have suffered a lot at his hands."

Chen Xianhe looked at Chen Xianhua and asked, "What should we do with these two children?"

Chen Xianhua sat in a wheelchair, his face solemn and his voice deep: "Of course I will be registered in the Chen family."

"Shanshan's household registration has always been under my name. Now that she's back, the two children will naturally follow her."

"I've asked my secretary to take care of this."

When Chen Xianhua asked about this yesterday, Xiaocao said that he would let Xiaohua change her surname to Chen and choose another name.

Her surname is still Li, so her full name is Li Youcao.

This was also the original owner's wish. He named himself Xiaocao because he naturally hoped that he could be as free as weeds.

The surname Li also expressed that she had no intention of competing for the wealth of the wealthy, and it also helped to dispel the suspicions of some evildoers.

"And that man's last name is Li!?"

Before anyone else could say anything, Chen Binghua was already dissatisfied.

"There is more than one person with the surname Li in the world," said Xiaocao.

Chen Xianhua glanced at Xiaocao and said calmly, "Alright, does your last name matter?"

Chen Xianhe said: "It's good that Shanshan is back, it's good that she is back. If my sister-in-law is still alive, it would be even better..."

"If Aiying were still alive and saw how much suffering Shanshan had endured, she would only resent her own dereliction of duty even more." Chen Xianhua sighed.

Chen Bingrui said, "It's good that you're back. How are the two children going to be accommodated? Will they go to school with Xiaohui?"

"Shanshan and I will stay here to recuperate. The two of them can live in Luyuan, which is close to the school."

Chen Xianhua looked at Xiaocao and said, "As for what grade to start, let's take an entrance exam first."

Xiaocao didn't say anything, which meant she agreed to the arrangement.

...

On that day, Chen Xianhua asked the housekeeper to take Xiaocao and Xiaohua to Luyuan.

"This is where Miss Shanshan grew up," said Butler Chen.

Luyuan is a villa with an old European-style exterior decoration. Thick vines are wrapped around the Roman columns, various flowers are planted in the yard, and there is also a wooden swing.

"This swing was made by Mr. Chen himself for Miss Shanshan."

The swing is still very clean and the outer layer has been treated with tung oil for maintenance.

The interior decoration of the house is more of a retro Nanyang style, with wooden floors and stairs, white fabric sofas, and thick carpets, all of which look quite old.

"Do you two young ladies need anything else?"

Xiao Cao shook her head: "No, this is fine."

Xiaohua had never seen such a beautiful house before. She was stunned and couldn’t take her eyes off it.

Xiaocao and Xiaohua each chose a bedroom on the second floor of the villa, and they did not choose the room where Chen Shanshan had lived before.

Xiaohua likes her room very much. The afternoon sun shines in from the open-air balcony and just falls on the end of the bed, warming the velvet quilt on the bed.

"Sister, will we all live here from now on?"

Xiao Cao nodded: "Yes, we will live here from now on. This is where my mother lived before."

Xiaohua likes this place very much. But when she thinks about how her mother once lived in such a nice big house, but was sold to Xiaoba Village and slept in the cowshed for so long, she feels an indescribable sadness in her heart.

"Then, then when can we go to see mom?" Xiaohua asked.

Xiao Cao said, "You can go anytime, but since I'm in school, I can only go during holidays."

She held Xiaohua and said to her, "Xiaohua, remember, no matter how your life turns out, don't forget that we came from Xiaoba Village."

“Remember where you came from.”

People should not forget where they come from just because the world is so dazzling.

Chen Bingrui returned home and placed the cake box on the dining table.

"Bingrui, you're back?"

His wife Ding Min walked out of the bedroom and saw Chen Bingrui with a look of surprise on her face.

"I thought you weren't coming back for dinner today."

Chen Bingrui put his arm around his wife's waist and kissed her cheek.

"What's wrong? You look worried." Ding Min patted his shoulder.

"My cousin is back."

Ding Min was surprised for a moment, then said, "That's great! Where did you find it? Where has it been all these years?"

Ding Min slapped Chen Bingrui's hand hard and said, "When did this happen? Why are you telling me now?"

"Her daughter brought Shanshan to her uncle the day before yesterday," Chen Bingrui explained. "She was abducted into the mountains and suffered a lot. She has become mentally ill."

"The doctor said it's not recommended to have too many people come to see her, as it might cause her to feel disgusted, so only my dad, Binghua, and I went."

Ding Min met Chen Shanshan when they were in college, and she had never met her.

"Oh my god." Ding Min covered her mouth, her eyes red. "Kidnapped? How could she be kidnapped? Didn't they just say she was kidnapped?"

Chen Bingrui sighed: "She can't even recognize people now. No one knows what happened back then."

"It's a good thing that we can find her." Ding Min said, "Why are you worried? Uncle is in poor health now. If he can find Shanshan in his lifetime, the burden on his heart should be much lighter."

"That's a good thing." Chen Bingrui held his wife's hand and patted it. "It's just that her eldest daughter seems a little too calm and mature."

Ding Min said: "Children who grow up in the countryside don't always start doing farm work from a young age. They tend to mature much earlier than children in the city."

Chen Bingrui glanced at his wife, sighed and said nothing more.

"Okay, let's eat. I asked Auntie to make some soup for you. I was going to bring it to you at the company."

Chen Bingrui smiled and said, "Where's Xiaohui? Has she finished school yet? I brought her a cake, and she's been clamoring for it for the past few days."

"She went out as soon as she came back, saying she was going to eat with her classmates. Don't worry about her, come and eat."
