He was a little confused about the situation before him.ĭidn’t they almost get buried by the mudslide? Why did they suddenly become someone else?Ībruptly, a loud laugh came from beside him, startling Jiang Chuan. At this moment, Jiang Chuan let out a heavy sigh and furrowed his brows. Only when Jiang Xia addressed her as ‘mom’ did Zhou Lan confirm she was indeed her daughter. “Mom?” the girl replied with a confused expression. She called out with uncertainty, “Xiao Xia?” On the other side, three people looked at each other by the extinguished bonfire deep in the mountains.Ī Haggard-looking woman looked at the man beside her and then at the thin, petite girl with two pigtails. Incidentally, they listened to an ear of Jiang Chuan’s family gossip. Some of them didn’t know the situation and just wanted to join the group to see if they could pick up some scraps and get some food back. Not everyone who came today was here to help look for Jiang Chuan. We should start returning if we still can’t find Jiang Chuan and his family!” The village chief shouted and began to call out to everyone.
“Let’s stop chatting and hurry up the mountain. Although he said that, from the looks of the current year, others might follow suit if there was still no grain harvest. They are plotting against Jiang Chuan’s daughter.” A man said in a disdainful tone. “Jiang Chuan’s grandparents are so biased. Old lady Jiang had not cared for Jiang Chuan’s daughters ever since they were born, but now that they had grown up to be elegant girls, she immediately thought of benefitting from them. If not for the fact that Jiang Chuan had worked hard for the family without complaint, his family would have been chased out long ago. It was then that old lady Jiang started scolding his family. However, for some reason, old lady Jiang did not like him, leading to his timid character.Īfter Jiang Chuan married his wife, Zhou Lan, they gave birth to only daughters. Usually, the youngest child, Jiang Chuan, should have been the family’s favorite. Jiang Chuan’s father had three sons and two daughters, leaving him with many grandchildren. The Jiang family was considered a large family in Tong Mountain Village. So the entire Jiang family was counting on Jiang Chuan? Hearing the peasant woman’s words, a few families who did not believe in the same values showed looks of disdain. I heard the old lady gained a lot of benefits from exchanging his eldest daughter, which is why she’s so concerned about his second daughter recently. “Even though Jiang Chuan’s daughter is skinny, she looked gorgeous. She had just exchanged one, and now she is thinking of the other one. Of course, the men of the two families gained from it, no one ever cared what the women’s thoughts were.Īlthough the villagers felt that the exchange was normal, the old lady was too much. Two families would swap their daughters and then let the new girl marry their son. It was pretty common to exchange a daughter for a daughter. No wonder Jiang Chuan took the risk of entering the mountains.Īnother woman, chatting with them, interjected, “Didn’t Jiang Chuan already exchange a daughter for his nephew to get a wife? Now he’s going to lose another one?” Jiang Chuan’s mother was ruthless, Jiang Xia was only thirteen years old. ” A peasant woman in a blue short-sleeved shirt sighed as she spoke. “Ah, I’ve heard that Jiang Chuan’s family is quite pitiful! Old lady Jiang said she would sell his second daughter if he couldn’t find enough food for the family. However, they would go in groups for peace of mind if they entered the mountains. But since the drought, there has been a shortage of food, so no one cared about that. Typically, for safety, no one would dare to go in. Everyone in the area knew that there were wild beasts in the mountains. People assumed they had encountered some wild beast and died inside.Īt this point, the person who spoke couldn’t help but sigh. It was mentioned that Jiang Chuan had taken his wife and daughter into the mountains to look for food, and no one had seen them since then. The only thought that came to Jiang Xia’s mind before her vision got blocked was, “If the heavens could give me another chance, I definitely would not choose to drive in the mountains.”Īt the same time, in the 1960s, a significant event also happened in Tong Shan Village.
She would never have thought that the self-driving trip she had prepared to celebrate the end of her college entrance examination would become her family’s grave. Jiang Xia was left dumbfounded the moment the mudslide hit her. The disaster left many people injured, three people lost in contact, and there was still no news after the search. On June 15, a sudden mudslide occurred in Tonggu Scenic Area of Beijing City in Province A.
