Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1399: Want to Go Home_1 Chapter 1405: Chapter 1399: Want to Go Home_1 “You’re all awake, let’s eat.” Seeing that everyone was awake, except for the girl who was still asleep due to the dose of drugs she’d given her. It seemed the drug mixture was too potent. After all, she’d been subjected to intoxicating incense, then force-fed even more drugs. It was expected for her not to wake up yet, though it should be soon.

“Come get your food one by one, don’t think about escaping, or you’ll find out what the consequences are.” A man with bowls of food followed behind the woman.

“What about that one?” The woman asked the man.

“I’ll splash her with water and wake her up.” The man thought about how Xue Ling didn’t trust him, and now she was in their hands too.

“No, let me call her. You distribute food to the others.” Despite the circumstances, the woman had grown fond of the child. But no matter how much she liked her, she couldn’t keep her around.

Until the girl was sent away, the woman could still show her kindness. She knew what the girl’s fate would be once she left.

The man watched the woman, wanting to call her compassionate, which wouldn’t benefit their current situation. But, thinking about how she had been by his side all this time doing this trade without children of her own, he kept silent and let her wake up the child.

“Little sister, wake up. Let’s eat.” The woman gently tapped Xue Ling. The others were speechless at her actions. This was the same woman who had brought them here, so they still harbored resentment towards her.

Seeing her behavior towards the girl on the ground gave them a feeling that she wasn’t going hurt her. Instead, it seemed more like an older sister caring for her younger sister.

It’s not that the children here were much older, but rather, they had to grow up quickly because of their family’s poverty. Therefore, they were already more mature than Xue Ling. That said, Xue Ling knew more and thought more comprehensively than them.

“Auntie, where am I? I want to go home.” Xue Ling rubbed her eyes, appearing as though she had just woken up from a long sleep.

“Eat first, and after the meal, I’ll take you home. Okay?” The woman wished she didn’t have to sell Xue Ling. However, such a beautiful and spiritual child would bring in a great deal of money. So, for the sake of money, she must harden her heart.

“Auntie, you mean it? I’ll eat, I want to eat.” Xue Ling sprang up. Her agility left the others dumbfounded.

While Xue Ling was hungrily eating, Qin Xue was anxiously waiting for her. No matter how long she waited, Xue Ling didn’t show up. Qin Xue was losing patience.

“Where has Xue Ling gone? Why is she still not here? It’s getting late; we need to go home.” Qin Xue looked up at the sky. It was nearly four o’clock. By the time they cooked dinner at home, it would be dark.

“She might have gone somewhere to play. How about we go home first and see if she’s returned because she couldn’t find us.” Chu Molin could only think of this possibility.

“That seems to be our only choice.” Qin Xue had no other solutions. Waiting any longer wouldn’t help. As Chu Molin said, Xue Ling might have already returned home.

“Let’s go.” Hearing they were going home, Yu Ze was thrilled. He had been out all day and wanted to rest. His little body needed a lot of rest. He hadn’t even taken his afternoon nap yet, and he was very sleepy now.

“Alright, let’s go home.” After hearing her son, Qin Xue decided not to wait for Xue Ling and went toward their home with her family of four.
