Jiang Yimian quickly reassured him, "Father, we're alright. You've already left the mine, and there won't be any more mines in the future. Once you're healed, I'll take you back to reunite with Mother and the others."
She thought she wouldn't know how to get along with Jiang Dazhuang, but when she saw him asking her about her situation with red eyes, she felt both touched and sad.
Even though his own health is what he should be most concerned about right now, he has been asking about his family ever since he woke up, his heart and eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Dazhuang was still a little dazed, clearly not having recovered his senses. He looked at Zhao Xiaonian beside him and said incredulously, "The mine... the mine is really gone?"
Is the torment that has been weighing on them really gone?
Will such a behemoth really disappear?
Having spent over a year on the mountain, waking up every day to the sound of whipping, he had grown accustomed to that kind of life. So when he suddenly heard that the mine was gone, he found it impossible.
They seemed to believe deep down that such a behemoth was beyond anyone's ability to overthrow or save them.
Zhao Xiaonian nodded excitedly and said, "Uncle Jiang, the mine is really gone, and Uncle Liu is alright too. You can trust me."
"You can rest and recover here. Don't worry about us anymore; we've all survived."
At first, he didn't believe the two people who suddenly barged in, thinking they were just some troublemakers and didn't take them seriously. But these two people, whom he thought were impossible, rescued them and gave him a new lease on life.
Jiang Dazhuang's eyes widened, his already red eyes becoming even redder. He nodded repeatedly, his lips trembling as he said, "Good, good, good, we're still alive, we're not dead. That's wonderful, that's wonderful."
He thought he would never see his wife and children again in his life, but fortunately he survived and was able to see his most cherished family again.
After calming down, he belatedly realized that something was wrong and asked hesitantly, "How did you get into the mine and rescue us?"
He heard that the mine was connected with the government, and Yi Mian and the others were just ordinary people, how could they possibly stand up to the government?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaonian immediately poured out his heart, recounting how he encountered Jiang Yimian and the other person, and how they escaped in such a perilous way.
When he got excited, he even gestured a few times.
Jiang Dazhuang listened with trepidation, and his eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Jiang Yimian. Although he didn't quite believe that the formidable person Zhao Xiaonian was talking about was Yimian, he could guess how much hardship his family had endured during the year he had been away.
Yi Mian must have suffered a lot to become like this.
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He could only say, "It's my fault for not taking good care of you and making you suffer."
Not only did he fail to spend quality time with his family, he also risked his life to save Yi Mian.
He's a terrible father.
Jiang Yimian quickly said, "Father, it's not your fault. You've already done very well."
In my memory, Jiang Dazhuang was very good to all of them. Whether as a father or as Wang Fengqin's husband, he was an impeccable person.
It was only because they encountered bloodsucking parents and a second wife that their lives became so unpleasant.
She didn't think Jiang Dazhuang had done anything wrong. If it weren't for Old Man Jiang and Granny Wu's insistence on separating the family property, and their constant talk of dividing the property, they would accuse Jiang Dazhuang of being unfilial.
To avoid being gossiped about and criticized, Wang Fengqin could only comfort him, which resulted in her money being drained.
Otherwise, he would have separated from them long ago.
Fortunately, they are still alive, and their family can be reunited.
If Jiang Qingyuan were still alive, then they would truly be reunited.
Jiang Dazhuang rubbed his eyes for a while before finally managing a forced smile and saying, "Yimian has grown up."
Jiang Yimian just smiled and didn't say much. She simply told the other party about the current situation of Wang Fengqin, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Nuan'er.
Hearing that both children had grown up, and that Xiao Nuan'er could run around and speak fluently, Jiang Dazhuang felt both happy and sad.
“When I left, Xiao Nuan’er couldn’t walk yet. She was held in your mother’s arms all day long. She was so tiny. I never imagined she would grow up so much. It’s a pity I didn’t get to see it.”
Jiang Yimian simply said, "It's alright, we'll see each other every day from now on."
Jiang Dazhuang smiled, subconsciously assuming that Jiang Qingyuan was also at home. He felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart and said reassuringly, "Yes, you'll be able to see him from now on."
Seeing that the other party looked somewhat tired, and considering that he had been lying in bed for several days before waking up, Jiang Yimian was sure he was hungry. Just as she was about to ask Zhao Xiaonian to have the kitchen staff prepare some food, Lu Cijian walked in from outside, carrying a food box in his hand.
He said casually, "I guessed Uncle Jiang must be hungry, so I had someone cook some light food for him."
Jiang Yimian was stunned. She was so happy that she didn't even know when Lu Cijian left, let alone expect him to be so thoughtful.
Zhao Xiaonian nodded repeatedly, quickly took the food box, took out all the congee and side dishes inside, and went to the bedside with a small bowl, saying with a smile, "Sister Yimian, don't try to take it from me, leave the task of taking care of Uncle Jiang to me."
"Please go about your business; I'll take good care of Uncle Jiang."
He used to be looked after by Uncle Jiang and Uncle Liu, and now that Uncle Jiang is injured, he should take good care of him.
Jiang Dazhuang also said, "Yimian, you should thank this young master Lu properly. If it weren't for him bringing his men, how could we have dealt with the people on the mountain so easily?"
He noticed that this young man had an extraordinary bearing and was definitely not an ordinary person. He believed that the fact that he could lead people to rescue them meant that he must be kind-hearted.
They should thank him properly.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and responded. Seeing Zhao Xiaonian's happy face and her little mouth chattering non-stop about what had happened in the past few days.
Although Jiang Dazhuang looked a little tired, his eyes were full of happiness, and he didn't seem to have any mental illness.
Only then did she feel relieved and leave the house with Lu Cijian.
In the past few days, she discovered that many people in the mine, like Liu Changsong, had developed post-traumatic stress disorder. They would sometimes go crazy when talking about the mine, and sometimes they would become lucid, which clearly indicated that they had some psychological problems.
Some even maintain their mountain habits, grabbing shovels and shouting every morning to go mining.
Fortunately, they had more time to be conscious, and with the mine gone, they gradually recovered.
She had just been worried that Jiang Dazhuang might also have post-traumatic stress disorder, but now it seems that he is still quite lucid. He didn't go crazy like the others when he heard that the mine was gone, so he should be fine.
She felt a sense of unprecedented relaxation. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the person beside her and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aci."
If it weren't for the people from Moge discovering Liu Changsong, she would never have known that Jiang Dazhuang was in the mine, let alone come to rescue him.
This thank you seems to be many days overdue.
Lu Cijian simply reached out and gently grasped the hand of the person beside him, saying earnestly, "We don't need to say thank you between us."
Mianmian's family will also be his family in the future.
He does everything willingly, as long as Mianmian is happy, he will be happy.
