Chapter 237: You remember Me, don’t you

Chapter 237

He Zhiran looked towards Old Lady Mo and Fifth Sister-In-Law.

"Mother, Fifth Sister-In-Law, try telling Fifth Elder Brother some happy things from the past, and see if you can get him to come out of his pain."

Hearing Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law's words, Fifth Sister-In-Law no longer cared about keeping up appearances. She took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang beside the fireplace, while Old Lady Mo sat on the other side.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law embraced Fifth Elder Brother's arms from both left and right.

"Chongyuan, do you still remember when you were sixteen? Mother had taken a liking to the eldest daughter of the Chen Family, and wanted to find someone to help arrange your marriage alliance, but you refused no matter what.

Later, under Mother's repeated questioning, you said you liked a girl... "

Hearing this, Fifth Elder Brother's pained expression relaxed a lot. He said softly, "It's Jiajia. I liked Jiajia, so I didn't want to marry the Chen Family's eldest daughter."

When Fifth Sister-In-Law heard her husband say her name, tears rolled down her face again like a broken strand of pearls.

She hugged Mo Chongyuan's arm tightly and sobbed, "Husband, look at me, I'm Jiajia..."

Mo Chongyuan seemed to have heard a familiar voice and instinctively looked at his tearful wife.

When their eyes met, Fifth Elder Brother immediately took her into his arms.

"Jiajia, my Jiajia."

Fifth Sister-In-Law was now sobbing uncontrollably.

"Hus...husband...you remember me, don't you?"

At this moment, with his beloved wife in his arms, Mo Chongyuan could no longer avoid the truth.

"Yes, I remember. You're my wife, my Jiajia..."

Seeing this scene, the women of the family began to wipe their tears.

Eighth Sister-in-law was still doing better. Mo Chuhan had not lost his memory, so he treated her the same as before, and the couple was even more affectionate now. The only regret was that they didn't have children yet.

Mo Jiuye knew clearly that now was not the time to investigate the reasons. What he wanted to know more was what happened to Fifth Elder Brother afterward.

"What happened then?"

"Later, that man took out a white porcelain bottle in front of me. The moment he removed the stopper, a bug flew out from inside. I knew the Southerners were not lacking in gu raisers, so I determined it must be a gu worm.

I saw with my own eyes as that bug pierced my skin and drilled into my body. And I felt a voice in my brain constantly calling to me, telling me to do things I didn't want to do.

I was very resistant to this and struggled hard against that voice. I don't know how long passed, but I guess my willpower eventually defeated the voice controlling me, and the gu worm drilled back out through a hole in my arm by itself.

Not long after, that man came before me again. He was very angry that the gu didn't succeed in controlling me.

He ordered his men that since they couldn't manipulate me, they shouldn't let me keep my life.

While struggling against the gu worm, I was also trying to break free of my restraints. Before those people could lay a hand on me, I had already desperately broken free of one side of the chains and escaped with all the internal energy in my body.

They chased me relentlessly until I reached a cliff. I had used up all my internal energy breaking the chains, so in order not to become their puppet again, I chose to jump off the cliff.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in the house of a farming family, and at the same time I had lost my former memories.

It just so happened to be nearing dusk then. Without my memories, I didn't know that was when the toxins in my body acted up. Fortunately, I had injured my leg in the fall. My benefactor was quick on his feet, so I didn't hurt him.

It was like this for two consecutive days. Worried that I might accidentally hurt my life-saving benefactor, I asked him to help bring me to the mountains.

I barely survived in the mountains for over a month until my leg injury healed before I thought about leaving.

But I didn't know who I was or where to go, so I wanted to find a more remote place away from crowds.

Later I discovered Xi Ling Village at the foot of the mountains. It didn't have many people, and there was a house that could shelter from wind and rain, so I temporarily settled there until your arrival..."

Hearing Mo Chongyuan recount his experiences, the Mo family felt both hatred and heartache—hatred for the mysterious man who had treated Fifth Elder Brother so badly, and heartache for the humiliating ordeal Fifth Elder Brother suffered.

If they hadn't been exiled here and if He Zhiran hadn't helped with the treatment, Mo Chongyuan might never have been able to reunite with his family again in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Mo was still apprehensive.

Her sons, all stalwart and devoted to protecting their family and country, had ended up in such circumstances...
