Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

The hostility in Wang's eyes grew stronger, but upon seeing the several burly security guards, her arrogance vanished instantly. She quickly explained, "My security guard friends, don't listen to her nonsense. I really am this child's biological grandmother. I'm truly not a child trafficker. I swear to God..."

Several security guards sneered: "You're not a human trafficker? What human trafficker would admit to being a human trafficker? I bet you won't admit it until you're faced with the truth. Guys, stop talking nonsense and arrest her."

The security guards ignored Wang's explanations and arrested both Wang and the woman in red. Finally, they handed the baby to Zhao Da'e.

Just as several security guards were about to take Wang away to the police station, two men squeezed in. One was very tall, about sixty years old, wearing a dark blue shirt and cloth shoes, with a wrinkled face; he was Zhao Da'e's grandfather, Zhao Tingxu. The other was about thirty years old, pale-faced, with sweaty palms, of medium height, wearing an inexpensive gray suit; he was Zhao Da'e's biological father, Zhao Tiesheng.

After Zhao Tingxu and his son Zhao Tiesheng squeezed in, they said to the security guards, "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

“I am the child’s grandfather, and this is the child’s father. We have a birth certificate to prove that this child is ours. This old woman is none other than the child’s grandmother. What kind of grandmother would abduct her own granddaughter? We love her more than anything.”

"Like?" Zhao Da'e suddenly demanded in a shrill voice, "Like my sister? My sister is almost frozen to death. You are human traffickers. Security guards, don't listen to their nonsense, they are in cahoots."

Looking at his small and helpless little sister, Zhao Da'e took off his shirt, leaving only his thin underwear, and wrapped the little girl in it to keep her warm.

Zhao Tiesheng looked at Zhao Da'e with a guilty expression and said in a low voice, "Da'e, stop messing around. Do you want to send your grandparents to jail?"

Zhao Da'e ignored her and hugged her younger sister, trying to warm her with her own body heat. However, she couldn't feel her sister's temperature rise; her body remained icy cold, perhaps because she had been frozen for too long.

At this time, the police officers in hats from the police station arrived. They briefly questioned a few security guards and then took Wang, the woman in red, Zhao Da'e, and others back to make statements.

Wang, her face ashen, explained to the police station that she was truly not a human trafficker. Zhao Tingxu also produced a letter of introduction from the village to prove his and Wang's identities. While the police were hesitating, Zhao Da'e, carrying the child, ran towards the hospital with tears streaming down her face, crying and shouting, "Doctor, doctor! My sister seems to have stopped breathing! Please come and save my sister!"

Zhao Da'e ran to the doctor's office with the baby, while Wang Shi and Zhao Tingxu outside tried their best to explain, but in the end, Uncle Hat took them to the police station for questioning as well.

Zhao Tiesheng stood there stunned for a long time, then went to the police station to explain that his parents had been arrested and he wanted to see them.

The doctors on Zhao Da'e's side examined the baby's condition and felt it was quite troublesome, because the baby's body temperature had started to drop due to the cold, and the baby might not survive at any time.

The doctor said to Zhao Da'e, "Are you a family member of the child? Where are your parents? The child needs to be placed in an incubator now. You need to go and pay the fees. This is a matter of life and death. We need to pay first so our hospital can save the child."

Zhao Da'e tried desperately to explain, but the doctor said he couldn't make the decision; that was just the hospital's policy. Frustrated, Zhao Da'e went to find her aunt, Cheng Jinxi, and others. A little while later, Zhao Da'e found her aunt: "Auntie, my sister is dying. She needs emergency treatment, and we need to pay the fees. Do you have any money with you?"

Cheng Jinxi felt her pockets; they were empty. Because she had come in a hurry, Cheng Jinxi hadn't brought any money. The women's director, Xing Shuling, also didn't bring any. The three of them looked at each other, none of them having a single penny.

"Where is my great-grandfather?" Zhao Da'e asked.

Zhao Da'e knew that Zhao Tingming was the village chief, and he usually carried some money with him when he went out.

“He went to the police station. He saw your grandparents being arrested, so he went with them.”

Zhao Da'e had a headache. She couldn't possibly rely on her heartless aunt now! After thinking it over, a sudden idea struck her. She ran to the doctor's office and said, "Doctor, I forgot my money today. Could I pawn our village's tricycle here? You can use whatever medicine you need, and treat it however you need. If I don't pay you back later, you won't return the tricycle, okay?"

The doctor said he couldn't make the decision himself and needed to consult with others. He then called the hospital director, who said that Zhao Da'e and others needed to sign a confirmation, and that payment needed to be made as soon as possible, since no one knew whether the tricycle would be able to cover the cost of the baby's treatment.

The doctor explained the situation to Zhao Da'e, who then pulled Xing Shuling, the village's women's director, to his side. Zhao Da'e was related to Xing Shuling by blood, and he had to call her "Second Aunt." "Second Aunt," Zhao Da'e said, "you're the village's women's director. I pawned my tricycle at the hospital. The doctor said I'm too young and won't let me sign anything. You should hurry up and sign."

Xing Shuling was completely bewildered, wondering how Zhao Da'e had mortgaged the village's tricycle. However, none of them had any money at the moment, and Xing Shuling had no choice. A life was at stake; if the baby died, they would all face legal trouble. So Xing Shuling went to sign and fingerprint the document, mortgaging the tricycle parked outside to the hospital in the village's name.

After payment, the doctors and nurses placed the baby in an incubator for emergency treatment. Zhao Da'e breathed a sigh of relief, but then the doctor approached her and said, "Your sister's condition is not good; she urgently needs a blood transfusion. Are you the child's older sister? Quickly get your blood type checked; we need to give the patient a transfusion immediately."

Looking at her younger sister lying quietly in the incubator through the glass of the ward, Zhao Da'e's heart was breaking. Her sister had almost been given away, and she would never see her again. Now, her sister was fighting for her life. Having been given a second chance at life, Zhao Da'e was determined to save her own sister no matter what.

"it is good."

Zhao Da'e had her blood type tested, and it matched her sister's. The doctor started drawing blood, taking about 800cc before it was just enough. After that, the doctor began an emergency blood transfusion for Zhao Da'e's sister. Zhao Da'e was almost fainting from the blood draw; she was still young, and 800cc of blood almost drained her completely. While Zhao Da'e was resting, dazed, against a chair outside the emergency room...

Suddenly, a hysterical shout rang out: "Zhao Da'e, you good-for-nothing! You've sent your grandparents to the police station! You're really a troublemaker! If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not Zhao Chunqin!"

Zhao Da'e was already angry, and upon hearing Zhao Chunqin's words, he retorted, "You were the ones who wanted to give my sister away, so you deserve to be in jail. Why didn't Uncle Hat arrest me? Isn't it because you did something despicable?!"

Zhao Chunqin slapped Zhao Da'e across the face: "You good-for-nothing! Why didn't your grandma give you away back then, letting this ungrateful wretch stay in our Zhao family? I said back then, if your mother's first child was a girl, we should give her away quickly to avoid trouble later. Now look what's happened, we raised you for six years for nothing, and you still have the nerve to frame your grandparents and get Uncle Hat to arrest them. You really have some nerve."

Zhao Da'e's lip was cut from the hard slap, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked coldly at Zhao Chunqin and said, "Auntie, don't forget. You're a money-loser too. If our Zhao family hadn't paid for your university education, would we be this poor? Speaking of money-losers, all seven hundred-plus people in Dongtaizi combined don't have as much money as you've lost. How dare you say that to me?"

Zhao Chunqin was furious and wanted to beat Zhao Dage, but a voice stopped her: "Little sister, don't make trouble. Quickly call your son-in-law and the others, something terrible has happened."

Zhao Chunqin turned around and saw that it was Zhao Tiesheng, Zhao Da'e's father.

Zhao Tiesheng's face turned pale, and he looked nervous: "Hurry up and find some connections, we're in big trouble."

Zhao Chunqin quickly asked, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"

"That guy in the red shirt is really a human trafficker. Now, our parents are probably in deep trouble, they'll never be able to clear their names!"

"what……"

Then Zhao Chunqin and Zhao Tiesheng left in a hurry. Before leaving, Zhao Tiesheng gave Zhao Dage a strange look and then sighed.

Zhao Da'e was still shaken. She patted her chest and said, "Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise my sister would have really been kidnapped."

However, Zhao Da'e was unclear about one thing: whether Zhao Chunqin and her grandmother were simply careless and unaware of each other's identities, or whether it was intentional, remained unknown.

Just as Zhao Da'e was stunned, a nurse's urgent scream came from the end of the corridor: "Who is Cheng Jinxiang's family member? The patient is suffering from postpartum hemorrhage. Is there any family member who can come and sign the papers? The patient needs an immediate blood transfusion and surgery."

Zhao Da'e was trembling with anxiety: "I'm a family member, I'm a family member. My tricycle is pawned at your hospital. I need to have surgery right away. If you don't have enough money, I'll go and get it right away."

The nurse hurriedly led Zhao Da'e to have her blood type compared, and Zhao Da'e's blood type matched her mother's. However, the nurse who drew the blood was in a dilemma and said with some concern, "Zhao Da'e, you just had 800cc of blood drawn. A normal person's blood volume is only 4000-5000cc. If you have any more blood drawn, your body simply can't handle it, and you'll easily faint."

Zhao Da'e's attitude was firm: "My life was given to me by my mother, what's a little blood? If anything happens, it's my responsibility."

The nurse had no choice but to have Zhao Da'e sign an accident liability guarantee. Only then did they draw another 800cc of blood. As soon as the blood was drawn, Zhao Da'e fainted due to excessive blood loss.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a warm embrace. Zhao Da'e looked up and, after thirty-six years, saw that familiar face again, a face full of heartache and doting affection, and tear stains that had never dried in the corners of her eyes.

"mom."

"Mom. You're alive. You're alive."

"It's good to be alive..."
