Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Begging for Mercy Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Begging for Mercy Zhang Xiao poured a glass of water for her father and handed it over, “Dad, is there still no news about the girl who helped us that day?”

Zhang Jianjun replied, “No, I asked the people from Chaoyang Commune, and they all said they hadn’t seen the girl. Could it be she’s not from around here?”

Zhang Xiao thought for a moment and said, “That’s possible. She spoke to me in standard Mandarin that day. It’s possible she’s not from here.

Oh, it’s all my fault. I didn’t even ask her name.

I haven’t thanked her properly yet, and I even let her pay for the phone call. I really feel bad about it.”

Zhang Jianjun saw that his daughter was a bit unhappy, “Maybe we’ll run into her again someday, and then we’ll thank her properly.”

Zhang Xiao nodded, sighed, and said, “That’s the only thing we can do now.”

Just then, someone knocked on the front door. Zhang Xiao looked at her father, who shook his head.

If it wasn’t someone Dad was expecting, then who could it be at this time? She put down the cup in her hand and ran to open the door, only to cheerfully shout, “Second Brother, how come you’re back?”

Zhang Yue responded, “Do you not welcome my return?”

Zhang Xiao said with a smile, “Of course, I welcome you! Second Brother, did you bring me any gifts this time?”

Zhang Yue ‘humphed’, darted into the courtyard, and said, “I knew it. The reason you’re so happy to see me is because of the gifts I brought back, not because you really missed your Second Brother.”

Zhang Xiao ran up like a sycophant, hooked her arm through her brother’s, and laughed, “How could that be? The gifts are just a bonus. The main thing is I missed Second Brother himself.”

After greeting their father, Zhang Yue then asked, “Why haven’t I seen Mom?”

Zhang Xiao looked somewhat uneasy, “Mom went to the clinic to change her dressings. She’ll be back soon.”

Zhang Yue suddenly stood up, “What happened? Mom got hurt?”

Zhang Xiao, a bit headache-ridden, glanced at their dad sitting aside, who didn’t seem inclined to come to her aid, so she muttered quietly, “I—I was riding the bike, and I took Mom down to the dam.”

Zhang Yue exclaimed loudly, “You reckless girl, what are you talking about? Where is Mom hurt?”

Zhang Xiao, with her head bowed, said, “Mom, uh, well, she broke her arm, and she also has a few scrapes.”

Zhang Yue remarked, “Zhang Xiao, you really did it this time. The road is so wide, how could you manage to bike down to the dam? I’m really speechless.”

After speaking, he turned and left the house, ready to go to the clinic to pick someone up.

Zhang Xiao also chased after him, pleading, “Second Brother, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean it. Can you keep this a secret and not tell Big Brother for now? Otherwise, he’ll scold me to death. I’m begging you, Second Brother.”

Zhang Yue fiercely tapped her forehead with his finger and said, “You’re grown up now. I need to see how bad Mom’s injuries are before I decide whether I’ll agree to your request or not.”

Zhang Xiao fawningly replied, “Okay, okay, I’m telling you, Mom is really almost recovered.”

The voices of the siblings grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared.

The next morning, Luo Qiao got up early to eat breakfast and headed to the riverside to start her work. She happened to hear a few women gossiping about Li Xiulan’s family business.

Li Xiulan was looking for a match for Gao Taohua, and that morning, two families had shown up. Li Xiulan had announced that she would settle on whichever family offered the higher bride price.

It was also mentioned that they were waiting for Gao Taohua’s bride price money to look for a match for their second son Ru Lin.

Luo Qiao was listening intently when she heard someone say, “Stop talking, someone’s coming, we don’t want to stir up trouble again.”
