When Anran woke up in the hospital, she saw Aunt Zhu accompanying her. She felt grateful and a little warm. Aunt Zhu was distressed when she saw her wake up. The doctor's words were still ringing in her ears. The doctor said that the child was severely malnourished and had hundreds of new and old wounds on her body. If she had been sent to the hospital a few days later, she would probably not have been able to be saved.

In his heart, he had already cursed that family to death, and then he comforted her by saying, "Duoduo, your father and the others have been taken away. Don't worry, they will definitely learn a lesson this time. Come and drink some brown sugar water. This is what Comrade Liu bought for you." After that, he fed her a lot of sugar water.

An Ran said: "Thank you, Aunt Zhu, I'm sorry to bother you." Aunt Zhu waved her hand and said: "Why are you being so polite, kid? I didn't help much, I just ran errands. I've done a good deed by helping you."

Aunt Zhu was about to say something when the police came in and asked the doctor about the little girl's condition. The police were heartbroken. How much suffering must this child have endured! If she knew the truth, would she be able to bear it?

Seeing the officer's hesitation, An Ran knew there was something else going on, so she asked, "Comrade police officer, how is your investigation going? Please tell me the truth. I can handle it." The two comrades looked at each other and decided to tell the truth. After all, they had no right to hide anything. Then one of the officers recounted the story.

An Ran's emotions remained relatively unchanged. After all, having lived two lives and experienced little family affection, she had no idea how to react. Aunt Zhu, on the other hand, was furious, constantly calling her a beast, an ungrateful wretch, and a heartless and ruthless person. The police saw An Ran's attitude as a feign of strength, and their hearts ached even more, believing Aunt Zhu's criticisms were entirely justified.

An Ran asked again: What punishment will they receive?

The policeman replied: The punishment result has not been announced yet, but you can rest assured that I will not let you off easily.

An Ran thought for a moment and said, "Comrade, can I publish an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties with them? Also, I want to change my name. Is that okay?"

The police felt that she was right and that people like her should be treated like this. At the same time, they also admired her courage and said: "Of course, you just need to take your household registration booklet to the household registration department to handle it."

She nodded and thanked the police, who didn't keep her any longer, letting her rest and then leaving. An Ran asked Aunt Zhu to go back as well, as she had a large family to support. Aunt Zhu explained that she would come to see her tomorrow, and then she left as well.

She got up and went to the bathroom. When she woke up, she saw the birthmark on her arm and was shocked. Before she could investigate, she started fighting. She took this opportunity to see if the space was still there. She went to the bathroom and saw no one. She used her mind to enter the space, and she really got in. Looking at the villa in the space, the spiritual spring water, the endless wheat fields, and the weapons and supply depots on the side, she finally felt at ease.

As long as the space was still there, she wouldn't have to worry about starving to death in this era. With a large wheat field, she could plant crops and harvest them in a day, so she wouldn't have to go hungry. She drank a sip of the spiritual spring water, then took a bath. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw that she looked exactly like her childhood self in her previous life. Was it just a coincidence?

Not daring to stay in the space for too long, she ate something delicious. Noticing no one was around, she left the space and returned to the ward. An elderly woman nearby, having heard what the police had said, felt sorry for An Ran. She picked up a steamed bun, handed it to An Ran, and said, "Are you hungry, child? Want something to eat?"

An Ran sighed that there are always kind people in every era, but she didn't accept it. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm not hungry, you can keep it for yourself." She knew how precious food was in that era. Even though it was a steamed bun, many people might not be able to eat it, and even those who didn't have enough could not eat it. How could she accept it?

The two of them were deadlocked for a long time. Seeing that she really didn't want it, the old man cursed her scumbag father in his heart. How could such a good child have such a beastly father? Such a man should be cut into pieces, tortured to death, and thrown into the toilet.

Looking at the old woman's colorful expression, An Ran guessed that she must be helping her to curse that family. She thought to herself that that family was completely rotten and would not be able to survive even if they were released.

The next day, An Ran completed the discharge procedures, got a doctor's certificate, and returned home. Aunt Zhu, who was about to go to the hospital, and other neighbors in the courtyard came to greet her when she returned, asking her why she was discharged.

The neighbors knew of her condition, and from last night until this morning, they'd cursed the family whenever they thought of her. Seeing everyone around her, she could tell who was genuine and who was just pretending to be there, but she didn't care. She said, "Thank you all for your concern, aunties. I'm fine now. I'm back to get my household registration book, then I'll put an advertisement in the newspaper to sever ties, and then I'll pack my things and go back to the countryside."

After that, she stopped chatting with the others and went back to the house to look for her household registration book. Everyone thought she was stupid. Why would she go to the countryside when she had a job? But they quickly realized that their names had already been registered, and it would be difficult not to go to the countryside. Some people with ulterior motives had already made plans. An Ran didn't care what they thought. Since she was here, anyone who dared to smash the abacus beads in her face would not be blamed for being rude.
