Chapter Twelve Going Home

  Several people on the carriage had different thoughts. Xi Mei was worried about her family members. The Zhang family was thinking of how to convince Xi Mei's parents to agree to recognize Xi Mei as their adopted daughter.

  Just as Xi Mei was hurrying to get home, she heard her third sister's crying voice. She thought to herself, "This isn't right, why is San Jie still here at this time?" They should have gone home long ago. Trying to comfort herself that she must have misheard, but as the horse carriage got closer, Xi Mei realized it wasn't a mistake - it was indeed her family members' voices, not just her mother and sister, but also her father and two older brothers.

  Well, the whole Chen family was absent because of her. The audience might wonder why all the Chen family members are here at this time? It turned out that Xi Mei's mother couldn't find Xi Mei and was so anxious that she lost her composure, while her sisters didn't want to go back home, thinking that Xi Mei would definitely return soon, so they kept waiting.

  Qian saw the situation and knew that he couldn't persuade them to go back, so he didn't go back either. He just asked Old Sun to hurry back and deliver a message to Chen Tianfa. When Chen Tianfa found out, he was anxious and immediately borrowed a cart from his neighbor and brought his two sons into town.

  "Brother, hurry up and stop the carriage, I heard my parents' voices." She lifted up the curtain to find several people holding torches in front of them. Upon closer inspection, if it wasn't her family members, then who were they?

  The car stopped, and Xi Mei jumped out first, followed by Xiao Bao Wang. Xi Mei quickly ran towards that place, thinking to herself, "Was it easy for me?" Although it had only been a short day, she almost parted with her family forever.

  Finally, there was a childlike expression on her face, and she ran excitedly to her parents. Zhao Shi thought she must have heard Xiaomei's voice in her daze, but Xiaomei's voice got closer and closer, and when she looked up, she saw her little girl running towards her.

  At that moment, Zhao felt her heart was about to jump out. It was true, her dear sister had returned. She rushed forward and hugged her sister tightly, thinking she had no more tears left after crying for a whole day, but they suddenly flowed again. She buried her head in her sister's small body and burst into sobs.

  At this time, no one paid attention to Zhang Zishang. He unwillingly stepped forward, but before he could speak, a little servant girl pressed him to the ground, and her fists came at him mercilessly. The pain made him cry out "Oh my!" in surprise. He tried to push her down, but unexpectedly, the servant girl was too strong, and no matter what he did, he couldn't win back.

  What's even more infuriating is that the little girl was hitting and crying at the same time, saying "You dare to abduct my sister, you dare to abduct my sister. Just wait and see if I don't beat you to death, just wait and see if you still dare to do such a thing in the future."

  At this moment, he just wanted to shout "Mom!" and "I'm innocent!", luckily his old man saved him.

  "Little girl, you misunderstood. The dog didn't kidnap Xi Mei, it was him who saved Xi Mei on the road and brought her back to my house. That's why we were in a hurry to send Xi Mei back." Only then did Xi Mei stop her fists.

  "Is that so?" The man on the ground nodded hastily, "Then forget it, anyway he also owed a beating." Leaving him alone in the wind. Who did he provoke? He went to his mother with a sad face seeking warmth.

  Who would have thought that his mother pushed him aside and said, "You little brat are just asking to be beaten up by others. You can't even beat a little girl, and you still have the face to come and complain?"

  Who can tell him why he changed from treasure to trash in less than half a day?

  When Zhao's emotions calmed down a bit, Xi Mei used her small hands to hold her mother's face and said: "Mother, I'm back now. Thanks to that little brother, otherwise I would have been caught again."

  "What? Who caught you? How did you escape?" Chen Tian hurriedly asked. Xi Mei briefly told him how she escaped, and then met Xiaobao, and how he saved her life. Of course, she mixed in some false words, not wanting to make her family worry again.

  The Chen brothers clenched their fists tightly, staring fiercely at Shi Tou as if he were the kidnapper.

  Chen Tianfa took his daughter out of Zhao's arms, stroked her with his beard and said, "From now on, you're not allowed to go out again. If you want to go out, your father will accompany you. My poor dear daughter has suffered. When we get home, I'll make sure to give you a good meal." As he spoke, his eyes reddened.

  When the whole family was almost done, Xi Mei finally remembered Zhang's family. She turned around to look at her brother and burst out laughing. "Little brother, how did you end up like this?"

  It turned out that Xi Mei's punches all landed on his eye sockets, and now he looked like a panda. Zhao stepped forward and asked, "You are the Zhang family who saved Xi Mei, our benefactor is above, please accept a woman's bow."

  "It's not that we can't, it's just that the child unintentionally lent a hand. Everything is fate, and it's all because of Xi Mei's own good fortune. We really don't dare to take credit for it."

  Zhao turned around and saw Zhang Zishang, who had been knocked to the ground by Xi Mei. With a shameful expression, he went forward to help him up and said to Xi Mei: "Don't you hurry over to apologize to Young Master?"

  Turning to Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, he said, "The young lady has been spoiled by me since she was a child, so I hope you can forgive her for any impoliteness."

  The couple simultaneously waved their hands and said, "It's nothing, he has thick skin. A few more hits won't hurt." Xi Mei added, "Mother, he just deserves to be beaten."

  After hearing this, Xiaobao felt like he was going to collapse.

  "Benefactor, the sky is already late, we must hurry back home. The relatives at home are still thinking of Xi Mei, and we also need to go back and report the news. After that, it will be more convenient for us to visit you."

  Zhang Zhongquan said gently, "Since that's the case, then Zhang will not disturb you anymore. Another day, I'll definitely prepare wine to treat my brother well." After finishing speaking, he wanted to take his wife and son away.

  "Dad and mom, I'm not going back. I haven't played with my sister yet. I want to go home with my sister." Zhang Zishang was unwilling to leave now that he had a sister.

  Zheng said comfortingly to her son, "Your sister will come again in two days. You can play with your sister then. Tomorrow you still have to go to school."

  When he heard the words "go to school", Xiaobao didn't want to go anymore, and ran away on the street, shouting that he wouldn't go back, wouldn't go back.

  Chen Tianfa saw this scene and said to Zheng Shi: "If the benefactor doesn't mind, let the young master go to my humble abode. Although it's simple, there are many children, so it's lively. I'll send the young master back to you tomorrow."

  Having heard Mr. Chen say so, and looking at his son's expression of not listening to me, the two had no choice but to agree. Zhang Zhongquan arranged for a horse-drawn carriage to send him away, and Zheng Shi also reminded him to behave himself in the Chen family, not to be naughty, etc.

  After dawdling for a while, they finally had to leave. Before getting on the car, Xi Mei said to Zhang's couple: "Uncle, Auntie, I'll come visit you in two days, and I'll take good care of Little Brother. We're leaving now."

  The horse carriage disappeared from view under the reluctant gaze of the two. When the carriage was gone, Zheng Shi twisted her husband's arm and said: "Just now, why didn't you let me tell them to recognize Mei as their daughter? Are you going back on your word again?"

  "Oh, Mrs., you think the Chen family has just gotten their daughter back and they'd be willing to throw her out again? Besides, with all the commotion today, who's in the mood for that?"

  "Alright, you're right. Let's go home now." Zheng Shi turned around and walked away first, with Zhang Fu following closely behind, laughing and crying at the same time.

  Not to mention Zhang's couple, Xi Mei and her family, plus a little overlord, returned to the village. As soon as they got home, they saw that everyone in the house was in an uproar, and it turned out that after Xi Mei's death, everyone was anxiously waiting for news at her house.

  When she saw her niece coming in, her grandmother first shouted "Thank heaven" and then rushed forward to hug her niece and burst into tears.

  "Alright, stop crying. Everyone's tired today. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Cough cough, Xi Mei has had a tough day too. Let's disperse."

  The head of the family has spoken, so everyone had no choice but to disperse and promised to come again tomorrow.

  Seeing off a big family, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. This day was both thrilling and exciting.

  Woke up early and went back to sleep, of course, except for ignoring someone's discordant nagging voice.
