Chapter 265: The Zhao Family’s Daughter From City Returned to the Village

However, Luo Siyan assured that they wouldn’t leave things unpaid and wouldn’t make things difficult for the locals. He immediately left a one-yuan note and, with that, the feed supplier from the Chaoyang Brigade cheerfully harnessed the cart and arranged for a village member to accompany them.

Once the cart was loaded, it was completely packed with goods, and there was no room left for people.

They had to follow behind the donkey cart towards Qingshan Village.

A villager who was helping them asked, “Which family are you going to?”

Originally, Zhao Jianing didn’t want the Luo brothers to reveal their destination, but Luo Siyuan had no intention of complying. He said, “We’re going to Zhao Pulin’s house in Qingshan Village. She’s his daughter, Zhao Jianing.”

The villager slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “The girl whose his wife has swapped?”

Luo Siyuan confirmed, “Yes, we’re a bit concerned, so we’re personally bringing our adopted sister back.”

The villager looked at the cart piled high with goods and remarked, “You’re really good to her, even sending so many things.”

Luo Siyuan replied, “These are her daily necessities. After all, we’ve raised her for more than fifteen years, so we have feelings for her. My parents were worried, so my brother and I made this special trip to bring her back.”

The villager glanced at Zhao Jianing with some disdain and said, “Once she’s back in the countryside, she won’t have an easy life. Even people her age have to work in the fields to earn their points.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jianing’s face turned pale.

Luo Siyuan added, “Don’t worry, my sister has money with her, enough to last until she gets married. She won’t have to work in the fields and won’t go hungry.”

Luo Siyan looked at his brother and thought to himself, Fourth Brother really is a sharp-tongued fellow.

Before long, they arrived at Qingshan Village. The cart driver had relatives in the village and was somewhat familiar with the area. He shouted to people resting on the bridge, “Can someone point out Zhao Pulin’s house? His city daughter has returned.”

Everyone on the bridge stood up, eager to see what Zhao Pulin’s swapped-out daughter looked like. Someone pointed them in the direction, and the driver brought the donkey cart directly to Zhao’s front gate.

He called into the courtyard, “Brother Zhao, your city daughter is back. Hurry up and unload the things.”

Zhao Pulin had gone to work. Due to the situation with Gao Suhua, he hadn’t worked for several days, and if he didn’t go back soon, his family would be left without food. However, his youngest daughter, Zhao Xiaoyun, was at home.

When she heard someone shouting that her elder sister from the city had returned, she quickly opened the door.

Seeing the donkey cart piled high with goods, her face instantly brightened with a smile. She said, “Father has gone to work. I’ll go and call him back right away.”

After saying that, she then ran off to the field where her father was working that day.

Before long, Zhao’s family had all returned. Zhao Pulin looked at his sixth daughter, who somewhat resembled his second daughter. His eyes became red with tears. This was his daughter whom he had only seen once when she was born.

At that time, because it was another daughter, he received her from the doctor without taking a close look. In order to save money and leave the hospital as soon as possible, he first returned to the village to borrow a donkey cart from the brigade to go to the city.

Unexpectedly, during the time it took to borrow the donkey cart, the child had already been swapped out. By the time he got back to the city, Gao Suhua excitedly told him they were swapping for a son.

At that time, he thought having a son to support them in their old age was quite good, and since it was in the city, no one in the village would know. So, after the swap, they quickly left the hospital, unaware that their biological daughter had already been swapped out by his wife.

They just didn’t expect that the family who took the initiative to exchange their son for them didn’t have a plan of having a more affectionate daughter but because they didn’t want their son to suffer in the farm and wanted to find a good family for him.

Looking back, he and his wife were so naïve, they never considered that anyone would be willing to swap a son for a daughter. They thought they had struck luck but ended up being deceived. How foolish!

In the fields, news spread that Zhao’s daughter from the city had returned. Many people were itching to see what she looked like. However, since it was already late in the day, leaving now would mean losing their work points.

So everyone quickened their pace, hoping to finish their work soon and then go watch the excitement.
