Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 118: Reunited with Family

At noon, when they reached the entrance of Songjiapu Village, they saw a large crowd gathered at the village entrance from a distance, along with many police officers.

Everyone was anxious, not knowing what had happened.

It wasn’t until the car stopped at the village entrance that they realized the police had finally caught the runaway trafficker over the past two days, and they were bringing them here for villagers to identify.

Families of the caught children had also been notified and rushed over.

So it was a massive crowd here now.

Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei were brought to the village committee.

Upon entering, they saw Gu Xiaoqing lying on the kang and Gu Xiaojie playing with Zhang Zijie nearby.

Li Xuemei immediately lunged forward.

Before she could reach Gu Xiaoqing, a boy suddenly grabbed her.

"What are you doing?"

Li Xuemei was stunned, not knowing what this boy was doing.

She could only say blankly, "I’m her mother."

Pointing to Gu Xiaoqing on the kang.

Not even allowed to see one’s own daughter?

What kind of authority figure is this?

But he was way too young.

This was Fang Shaonan.

When Fang Shaonan heard she was Gu Xiaoqing’s mother, he realized it was their family coming to see their child.

He stepped aside but still said, "She has broken ribs, can’t move, Auntie, please be careful."

He had to say it; seeing Gu Xiaoqing’s mother, he was almost going crazy.

If she wasn’t careful, Gu Xiaoqing could have died again.

Li Xuemei carefully sat beside Gu Xiaoqing, gently touching her face, which could no longer be called a face, swollen beyond recognition with blue, purple, and black bruises that looked very shocking after a whole day.

Feeling heartbroken, tears flowed uncontrollably.

"You silly girl. What are you trying to do? Do you want your mom to die, is that it?"

Gu Xiaojie had already seen his mom and suddenly burst into tears, throwing himself into Li Xuemei’s arms, sobbing hard.

This child had been terrified for days, finally seeing his parents, feeling extremely wronged.

Li Xuemei hugged her son, crying.

Gu Ruhai came over, embracing Li Xuemei and Gu Xiaojie, crying as a family.

Gu Xiaoying walked over, seeing her sister like that, frightened and crying too.

How much suffering had she endured?

A girl who now looks unrecognizable, Gu Xiaoying’s heart was filled with hatred for the traffickers.

The family nearly suffered greatly because of them.

Fang Shaonan stood awkwardly aside.

Quietly getting up and leaving, feeling a bit like an eyesore amidst the family’s reunion.

Watching Gu Xiaoqing’s family reunion, Fang Shaonan felt a bit lost inside.

Not knowing what his disappearance meant for his own parents.

Maybe they hadn’t even noticed his absence.

Perhaps even if he died, no one would care.

Feeling gloomy, Fang Shaonan walked to the courtyard and saw at the gate, his parents, Fang Zhiyong and He Cui. They, always dressed meticulously, now had disheveled hair, He Cui looking like a bird’s nest, eyes swollen like walnuts, and upon seeing Fang Shaonan, immediately rushed over, hugging him tightly.

"You wretched child, do you want your mother’s life? My poor child. How much suffering have you endured?"

Holding Fang Shaonan, beating his back with a hard pat, her crying finally softened the overly mature heart of Fang Shaonan into a puddle.

Feeling slightly pained in his nose, unsure whether to lower or raise his already muscled arms, he awkwardly placed them on He Cui’s back, gently patting it in reassurance.

"Mom, I’m fine."

Fang Zhiyong came over, followed by the orderly, glanced at Fang Shaonan seeing no injuries, nodded, finally showing a bit of warmth on his stern face.

Told the orderly: "Inform the police officers at the local precinct, the nature of this incident is extremely vile, a thorough investigation is required, all related criminals must not be spared lightly."

The orderly immediately noted it down and went to convey the orders.

"Alright, since you’re unharmed, prepare to go home."

Fang Zhiyong said nothing more, as this wasn’t the place to discipline his son.

Fang Shaonan nudged He Cui aside, looking at his father, said: "I have a friend, I need to bid goodbye."

Fang Zhiyong remained silent, walking away with his hands behind his back.

He Cui complained, "You child, don’t you know we couldn’t find you for days, your dad didn’t even go to the army, you have to think about us too. Is this friend that important?"

The beloved son was back, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, instantly reverting to her motherly state.

"Mom, she’s a girl, she even saved us this time, otherwise you wouldn’t have seen your son."

Fang Shaonan defended himself, he wasn’t just playing.

Upon hearing this, He Cui calmed down. She had heard the incident was about a kidnapped girl who bravely fought with the traffickers, leading to their rescue.

Seems she should really thank the girl.

He Cui turned to leave, with some things in the car initially meant to thank the villagers, some had already been given, but hearing about this, she kept some aside, which now could be useful.

Over there, Gu Xiaoqing’s family was devastated, tearfully embracing.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t move, practically like a mummy, couldn’t afford to move, as any motion would bring excruciating pain.

Unbearable.

So Gu Xiaoqing remained very still.

Li Xuemei, seeing her, had tears streaming down incessantly.

Such cruelty, to hurt so severely, it was life-threatening.

This child.

"Kid, when you saw the traffickers, you should have quickly returned to find an adult, how could you handle it alone, look at the state you’re in now. Showing off."

She chided while feeling overwhelming heartache.

Gu Ruhai comforted, "It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as she returned alive, it’s all good. Xiaojie, in the future, you must listen to your sister, be good to her, after all, she saved you."

The whole story had been told by Gu Xiaoqing.

Otherwise, she would have been reprimanded severely.

Gu Xiaojie nodded earnestly, solemnly said, "Second sister, when I grow up, I’ll be good to you, I want to become strong to help you drive away those bad people, so they won’t hurt you again." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gu Xiaoqing nodded, grinning painfully.

With sadness, Gu Ruhai patted Gu Xiaoqing’s hair, noticing a tuft missing by her temples, exposing the scalp.

Surely yanked by those villains.

Really went through so much suffering.

Back home, they need to take good care of her; otherwise, she could end up with chronic issues.
