In the ward, Xu's father and mother were hugging Xu Qianjiao and crying, "Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao, I'm sorry for what I have done to you."
Xu Qianjiao held back her tears and reached out to hug Xu's father and mother. "Dad, Mom, don't say that. I know you all have your reasons. I don't blame you. I really don't."
When she heard about this treatment, Xu Qianjiao could not deny that she was disappointed, but she really did not blame them. Perhaps it was because although she had treated them as her biological parents these days, the time was still short and they had not really entered her heart.
"Same, just as silly, just as ridiculously kind. You are finally back, my daughter is finally back." Mother Xu murmured to herself while crying.
Xu Qianjiao suddenly froze when she heard her words, unable to conceal the shock on her face. What? Did Mother Xu know that the inner shell of this body had been replaced? What did she mean by this?
She said timidly, "Mother, what do you mean by this?"
Mother Xu took a deep look at Xu Qianjiao and said slowly, "Silly Jiaojiao, ever since you fainted and woke up that day, I knew it was you who came back, my daughter."
Father Xu nodded beside him, "Yes, Jiaojiao, after that day, your personality changed drastically, and so did your attitude towards us. We knew you were back."
The more Xu Qianjiao listened, the more confused she became. What did she mean by "back"? Where had she returned to? Hadn't I traveled through time? Was there something else going on?
"What, what's going on?" Xu Qianjiao looked at the two of them in confusion.
Xu's mother sat by the bed, holding Xu Qianjiao's hand and slowly explaining to her, "It's like this. When you were ten years old, you also fell into the water. After you woke up, your personality and behavior changed. It was like you became a different person. You no longer approached us and even disliked us. But she was very good at seeking benefits and avoiding harm. Although she didn't approach us, she was very good at trying to please your grandmother."
“We observed her behavior and eventually confirmed that you two were not the same person, but your father and I didn’t say anything. We just tried our best to protect her and treat her well, hoping that one day, she would return her body to you and you could come back.
When you woke up that day, I had a hunch that you were back." Speaking of this, Xu's mother hugged Xu Qianjiao and burst into tears.
Xu Qianjiao was hugged by Xu's mother in a daze. She never thought that the truth was like this. If that was the case, then what "Xu Qianjiao" said in the dream that day would be right. It turned out that the two of them had exchanged bodies, and she was truly the Xu Qianjiao of this era.
No wonder she said she owed her, no wonder in modern times, I have no memory of anything before the age of ten, no wonder I can never get close to my modern parents, no wonder... no wonder... it turns out everything has a traceable path...
Father Xu stepped forward, put his arms around them, and whispered to them, "Okay, don't cry. Our daughter is back. From now on, we will live a good life as a family. We will live a good life as a family of three."
Mother Xu looked up at Father Xu, her eyes filled with anticipation and a bit of fear. "You, what do you mean by this?"
Father Xu nodded firmly in her expectant gaze. "It's just as you thought. When I get back, I'll tell mother about the division of the family. From now on, no matter if we're rich or poor, we'll have nothing to do with the eldest wife's family. If we're poor, we'll be two families from now on."
"Okay, okay, okay." When Xu's mother heard the news, she cried even harder, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
That's right. Although Xu's mother has a fierce personality, she suffered a lot of grievances in the Xu family when she was young. In the Xu family, their second branch has always been ignored. After Xu Qianjiao was born, Xu's mother's health deteriorated and she never got pregnant again.
In this way, her status in the family became lower and lower, and her work became heavier and heavier.
Later, she figured it out, and her personality became more and more aggressive. She began to not care about other people's gossip. If others dared to say anything about her, she would fight back. Anyway, she would not listen to what Grandma Xu said. She would do what she had to do and be lazy when she had to. In this way, her health gradually recovered.
Seeing her like this, Xu's father didn't say anything, but just silently cooperated with his wife, letting her be lazy when necessary and do whatever she wanted. In fact, he knew in his heart that in his mother's heart, the eldest wife was always the most important.
Although his mother is usually very indulgent to their family and doesn't say much when they are lazy, in fact, these are just superficial. His mother knows that even if they are lazy, the food they earn is still more than enough for the food rations of their family of three.
Even if her eldest brother and his wife, plus herself, worked hard, the food was just enough for the eldest family. Without the two laborers in their family, the family would have no way to save money, let alone help the eldest brother take care of everything, let him become the village chief, and help Kang Ge'er join the army.
All of this was a sweet trap, they had always known it, but before, because Jiaojiao had not come back, as long as she was nice to Jiaojiao, the two of them could pretend that they didn't see anything.
Now that Jiaojiao is back and has suffered so much, there is no need for them to continue in this confusion. From now on, let's just let things take their course.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the two people holding her, not knowing what to think. She didn't know how to face them for a moment, so she could only silently change the subject, "Dad, Mom, I'm a little hungry and want to eat something."
When Mother Xu heard this, she stopped crying immediately. With red eyes, she looked up at Xu Qianjiao and said, "Yes, Jiaojiao has been in the water for so long, she must be hungry. I will go back and make you something to eat."
"Okay, thank you, Mom." A smile appeared on Xu Qianjiao's weak face.
Mother Xu touched her head lovingly and pulled Father Xu out of the ward.
How could she not see that her daughter was deliberately trying to get rid of them? But it didn't matter. It was right for her to find it hard to accept for a while. Didn't it take her a long time to accept this fact? Now she should give her some time to calm down. She believed that she would figure it out.

Xu Qianjiao sat on the bed in the ward and thought for a long time, but her mind was still a mess. She lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
When Cheng Jiawen came to the outside of the ward, he saw Xu Qianjiao's sleeping face. He stood at the door and stared at Xu Qianjiao's sleeping face quietly. After a long while, he turned around and walked towards the doctor's office.
"Knock knock knock~" He stood at the door and raised his hand to knock gently. The doctor in the room looked up at him and said, "Come in."
Cheng Jiawen walked into the office, sat in front of the doctor, frowned, and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is the patient in Ward 306?"
The doctor looked at him. He remembered him. When he brought the patient to the hospital, both of them were soaked. Later, when the girl was undergoing surgery, he also stayed at the door the whole time. Even though he was shivering with cold, he was unwilling to go back to change clothes first.
Thinking of this, he smiled and asked, "Are you the patient's partner? Good job, young man. A man who knows how to care for his partner is a good man."
