90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

At this time, Mr. Xie came in with a bowl of hot Chinese herbal soup. He whispered to Yang Qin, "This herbal soup is ready. Give it to her while it's hot. It can drive away the cold and is good for her health."

Yang Qin took the medicine bowl, sat down beside the woman's bed, and called softly, "Big sister, come here, open your mouth and drink the medicine. You will feel better after drinking it."

The woman did not seem to be fully awake and did not respond to Yang Qin's calls. She only opened her mouth instinctively when she tried to feed her medicine or porridge.

Yang Qin sighed helplessly and could only hold up the woman's head with one hand and slowly feed the medicine into her mouth with the other.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, the woman's complexion seemed to be better.

Then, Yang Qin fed her a bowl of porridge. The woman still did not resist and just silently accepted their care.

Looking at the woman like this, Yang Qin felt an inexplicable curiosity in her heart.

She turned to Xie Jianhua and said, "Old Xie, come and take a look at what's going on with this girl. Why is she awake but not talking?"

Mr. Xie responded, immediately put down his work, and walked closer to the woman to observe her.

The woman was still lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, without any reaction.

Mr. Xie carefully examined the woman's body and asked about the circumstances when Xie Jianhua found her. Finally, he shook his head, sighed, and said, "This girl must have been quite frightened. Although she's not seriously injured physically, she needs to be taken care of mentally."

After hearing what Mr. Xie said, Yang Qin and Xie Jianhua fell silent.

That's true. On a snowy day, he was lying naked at the foot of a mountain for several times for no apparent reason. Even a normal person would be scared silly.

In the next few days, Yang Qin and Xie Jianhua took turns taking care of the woman, feeding her, giving her medicine, washing her body, and trying their best to make her feel warm and at ease.

The woman remained silent and expressionless, as if her soul had been sucked away by something.

On the fifth day, when Yang Qin fed the woman porridge again, she suddenly spoke softly: "Thank you..."

Although the voice was very faint, Yang Qin heard it clearly.

She looked up in surprise, looked at the woman and said, "Big sister, you finally spoke! How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

The woman shook her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. "My name is Lin Xiaoya, and I'm a university student in the provincial capital. I was tricked into taking myself to the nearby mountains. I finally managed to escape, but was robbed again... Thank you for saving me."

Hearing Lin Xiaoya's words, Yang Qin and Xie Jianhua were stunned.

Mr. Xie was sitting in the distance. Yang Qin looked at him and asked her again about her experience of being cheated.

Lin Xiaoya lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and began to recount the experience that was too painful to recall with a trembling voice.

"I just graduated this year and the school assigned me a job, but I still wanted to earn some money for my tuition, so I went to the job market to look for a job. I met a Chinese medicine buyer who said he would take me into the mountains to buy Chinese medicine. But I followed him by train and then bus, and finally arrived at a place called Liangmu Mountain..."

Having said that, Lin Xiaoya couldn't stop crying.

She took a deep breath and continued, "I tried to escape, but I was caught every time and beaten up. It was snowing these past few days, and they were going to town to sell charcoal. I finally found a chance to escape when they weren't paying attention. But I didn't expect to run into a scam driver after I escaped..."

Xie Jianhua was horrified when he heard this. They couldn't imagine that a young college student would have such a terrible experience.

Yang Qin didn't say anything, but just listened silently, with a changeable expression on her face.

Old Master Xie also shook his head as he listened. He sighed and said, "These unscrupulous human traffickers deserve to be cut into pieces! Xiaoya, don't worry, you're safe here with us. We will do everything we can to protect you and help you find your way home."

Lin Xiaoya looked at the Xie family with gratitude, and tears rolled down her cheeks again.

She knew that she had met kind people who not only saved her life but also gave her the courage to start over.

It’s a pity that Lin Xiaoya didn’t know that this was just the beginning of her nightmare.

In the following days, Lin Xiaoya gradually recovered under the careful care of the Xie family.

Her mental state gradually improved and she began to be able to communicate with others normally.

Yang Qin gently patted the back of Lin Xiaoya's hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoya, you are safe now. Although we are not rich here, we are all warm-hearted people. We will help you find your way home."

After hearing what Yang Qin said, Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but shed tears.

She held Yang Qin's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Yang... I really don't know what to do... Please, help me go home. I, Lin Xiaoya, will never forget your kindness. I will work like a slave in my next life..."

Before Lin Xiaoya could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yang Qin. Yang Qin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a cotton towel, her eyes full of love and determination.

"Xiaoya, don't say that. It's our duty to help you. Just live here with peace of mind and treat this place as your home. As for going home, the most important thing is that you take care of your health first." Yang Qin's words were like the warm spring sun, soothing Lin Xiaoya's wounded heart.

Lin Xiaoya nodded, her heart filled with gratitude.

Every day at the Xie family's, Grandpa Xie would tell her stories about the village, so that she could understand the local customs and culture; Yang Qin taught her some simple housework, such as washing clothes and cooking, so that she felt that she could do something for the family; and the children of the Xie family were always around her, using their innocent smiles to dispel the haze in her heart.

Behind this tranquility and harmony, an undercurrent is quietly surging.

The Xie family has a young man named Xie Kangyu. He is nearly 35 years old and has not yet married or had children.

Xie Kangyu is notoriously lazy and unruly in the village. He idles around all day long, doesn't care about the farm work at home, but comments on the young women in the village. He always dreams of marrying a beautiful wife so that he can be famous in the village.

Lin Xiaoya's arrival was like a breeze that blew into Xie Kangyu's chaotic world, making his eyes brighten and igniting an unprecedented desire in his heart.

Lin Xiaoya's gentle temperament, pretty face, and the tenacity and innocence that she revealed inadvertently all touched Xie Kangyu's heart, which had not beaten for a long time.

He began to hang around Lin Xiaoya intentionally or unintentionally, or pretend to help with some work, but in fact he wanted to look at her more and listen to her soft voice.

Lin Xiaoya only had the thought of going home in her mind, and she didn't notice Xie Kangyu's little thoughts, or even if she did, she chose to turn a blind eye.
