Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!

Chapter 13

Retribution

No one knew if old lady Jiang had deliberately forgotten about last night’s incident, but as soon as the sky brightened, she knocked on the door along with her angry curses, “Zhou Lan you lazy woman, why aren’t you getting up to cook? Are you trying to starve us to death!”

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Wang Fen shouted even more, “You’re lazy and greedy. You are fated not to have a son in this life so no one will take care of you in your old age!”

No one knew if this line was towards Jiang Chuan or Zhou Lan, or perhaps both of them.

In the past, Zhou Lan would come out as soon as she hear Wang Fen scolding her. It was weird that they were ignoring her today.

Wang Fen kept her eyes wide open, and her chest was heaving up and down. Thinking of what happened last night, Wang Fen’s face darkened and she cursed even more.

After knocking for about five minutes, Wang Fen’s anger reached its peak. When she was about to wake her other two sons up to smash the door, the wooden door opened and fell in her direction.

The door had fallen directly onto Wang Fen’s body making her giddy.

Jiang Xia, who was still standing in the room was shocked. Before Wang Fen could scold her, Jiang Xia started to cry loudly and shouted, “Grandma, grandma, are you okay? I just want to open the door! I didn’t expect it to hit you. ”

Unlike Wang Fen, who didn’t dare to use her loudest voice when scolding people because she was concerned about her neighbors, Jiang Xia didn’t care. She cried and shouted, “Grandma, I’m sorry! Stop scolding us! I thought you left, so I opened the door. I didn’t know you were still outside.”

Upon hearing Jiang Xia’s voice, the other members of the Jiang family put on their clothes and walked out of their rooms. A few of the younger ones also leaned against the window and peeked.

“Mother! Mother, what’s wrong?” Jiang Chuan was the first to arrive at the old lady’s side, followed by Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu. They all looked really weak.

Jiang Chuan lifted the door that was pressing on Wang Fen. Fortunately, the door was not thick, or it would have smashed her. Even so, there was a big bump on her forehead.

After lying on the ground for a while, Wang Fen sat up with the help of her eldest and second sons.

“Jiang Chuan, is this brat of yours trying to kill me?” Wang Fen yelled at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan kneeled in front of her with his head lowered, his voice full of shame. “Mother, Xiao Xia didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be calculative with a child.”

“Not on purpose? I think this little brat just wants to kill me! Jiang Chuan, before you went out, you promised that if you couldn’t bring back any food, you would leave her to me to deal with. You still remember, right?” Wang Fen threatened Jiang Chuan while she glared at Jiang Xia and at the same time pinched her hard.

Zhou Lan, who was pretending to be weak, noticed Wang Fen’s movements and was furious, yet she had no choice but to hold back her anger because of Jiang Xia’s instructions.

“Mother, Xiao Xia is still so young. She can’t be exchanged for many things. Please don’t think about that anymore. I am begging you as your son.” Jiang Chuan begged.

“Qian Li from the neighboring village is looking for a girl around this age and is offering a lot of things. Don’t waste my time telling me all these useless things and let me take her away.” As she spoke, she stood up and tried to pull Jiang Xia towards her.

Jiang Chuan suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Xia behind him, his face pale. He didn’t think that after the ruckus last night, the old lady would still have thoughts about selling his daughter.

Qian Li has been thinking about remarrying ever since his wife died recently. Who knew that he had been thinking about marrying Jiang Xia? Everything had already been decided. If his family had not come, would the original Jiang Xia have been sold out without a trace? No, that’s not right. The original Jiang Xia is already dead, if that is the case, what would have happened to Jiang Gu?

“Human trafficking is illegal!” Suddenly, a voice interrupted Jiang Xia’s thoughts.

“Doctor Li, why are you here?” Jiang Hua’s wife saw that there were outsiders and quickly went up to welcome them.

It was doctor Li who had treated them last night. Nowadays, it is rare to find doctors in villages, some villages didn’t even have doctors. Therefore doctors are considered to have high status, after all, no one could guarantee that they would be free of illness and disaster for the rest of their lives.

Doctor Li looked at the crowd and turned to ask Jiang Gu, “Jiang Gu, who did you say was the one who was hit by the door?”

After doctor Li’s question, everyone’s eyes focused on Jiang Gu.

Jiang Gu was frightened by his gaze and hid behind Zhou Lan, timidly replying, “It’s grandma. Grandma was hit by the door just now.”
