Three months later, the outermost iron door of the women's prison was opened.

As late autumn approached, the cold wind hit her face, dry and stinging. Zhen Shan wrapped herself in a black windbreaker and walked out slowly.

Looking at the desolate scene of withered trees outside, her eyes were in a daze for a moment.

When Sha Baitian came in, the grass was still growing and the orioles were flying, spring was the time when everything revived, but now it was autumn.

An iron door is only half a year old, but it feels like it's been a lifetime ago.

"Good, good, good!"

Zhen Shan froze, the coldness in his eyes was no longer there, his eyes were so sore, and his heart felt aggrieved, uncomfortable and longing.

She looked at her old parents stumbling down from the bullock cart with blurry eyes.

His father was nearly fifty years old, but he still looked like an elegant uncle. He behaved like everyone else, with a stern confidence in his eyes, as if he could stop the sky from falling. His mother was kind and gentle, and was the most valuable person in the gold market.

A woman, elegant and intellectual, is the most powerful wife behind her father.

Nowadays, they have taken off their fancy clothes and put on the simplest coarse cloth shirts. In just over half a year, their hair has turned more than half gray, and their brows and eyes look tired.

Zhen Shan was so stiff that she couldn't say a word until her mother hugged her. Her mother, who had always been perfect in every move, burst into tears.

"mother……"

"Mother is here, mother is here, Shanshan, mother is here to take you home, don't be afraid, we won't be afraid anymore."

Zhen Shan pulled her lips to comfort her mother, but before she could speak, she burst into tears and could only hold her mother tightly.

Father Zhen supported his crutches, stepped forward, hugged their mother and daughter, his eyes were moist, and he said hoarsely: "It's good that the family is reunited, that's good."

Zhen Shan calmed down and wiped the tears on his face, "Mom, dad, let's go home."

"Okay, okay, go home."

Zhen Shan turned to look at Chief Sun who sent her out in person, and nodded with a smile. Different from the careless smile before, it had the purity and gentleness of a girl.

Chief Sun also smiled, and the ferocious scars on his face seemed to soften a lot. She waved to her and said two words silently: Take care.

Zhen Shan nodded: Goodbye.

Chief Sun stood outside the prison, watching the bullock cart go further and further away, until he could no longer see the shadow, and then turned back.

…

Along the way, Zhen's mother held her daughter's hand and kept asking her if she was injured and if she was well.

"I'm fine, parents don't have to worry."

Zhen's mother felt relieved when she saw that she looked well except for being a little thin.

Zhen Shan looked at Father Zhen, "Dad, where are you?"

Zhen's father smiled lovingly, "It's okay, dad."

Except for the couple losing control when they first met her, nothing happened after that. It was as if the Zhen family was gone and now they were so destitute that they could only work as bullock carts...

But how could it not matter?

No one knows better than her how strong her parents are.

What's more, the hundreds of years of Zhen family's foundation were ruined in this way, and it was more painful for my father than anyone else to think about it.

Zhen Shan looked at his legs. Zhen's father had some rheumatism in the past, but he didn't need crutches. But now, even with crutches, he has a hard time walking.

I'm afraid that the days when he was taken for investigation were not good, and the double blow to his body and mind weighed him down.

Zhen Shan unconsciously clenched her hands, her nails digging into her flesh, and for the first time, an emotion called 'hate' filled her heart.

I hate those so-called superiors, I hate everyone who has eaten the flesh and blood of the Zhen family, and I hate the ungrateful Lu family even more.

"Shanshan, what's wrong? Are you tired?"

Zhen's mother asked worriedly when she saw her daughter lowering her eyes and not speaking.

Zhen Shan raised his head and smiled sweetly, "No."

Zhen's mother touched her daughter's face distressedly and said, "You have lost weight. When you get home, my mother will make you some chicken soup to replenish your body."

"Mom is so kind," Zhen Shan hugged Zhen's mother's arm and leaned on her shoulders as before, looking at his father with crooked eyebrows: "Dad is also good."

The two couples were amused by her for a moment, "Silly boy."

The bullock cart entered the city, walked west, turned into an alley, and stopped in front of an old tile-roofed house.

Zhen's mother opened the door and came over with a brazier. Zhen Shan stepped over it to ward off misfortune.

The house is very old, with a main room in the middle, bedrooms on both sides, a small yard surrounded by a mud wall, a kitchen on the left, a chicken tent on the right, and a piece of land for growing vegetables.

"Come and see your room."

Zhen's mother pushed open the bedroom on the right and said with a smile.

The bedroom is not big, but very warm. The bedding and curtains are all in her favorite color. There are several pots of flowers and plants by the window, which embellish the life of the room. In the mahogany wardrobe, her clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter are all ready, and the desk

There is also a small flower-shaped table lamp on top.

There is no comparison between this house and the former Zhen family's mansion, but it has a place to stay and the family is still there, so it's not too bad.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but if you have no choice, what else can you do to be pretentious?

Besides, her parents tried their best to give her the best, so how could she be picky again?

Zhen Shan hugged her mother and said, "Thank you, mother, I like it very much."

Zhen's mother's eyes were kind, "If you need anything, just tell me, you know?"

Zhen Shan knew in her heart that all the Zhen family's property had been taken away, and the money left to them must be pitifully small, but she still smiled and nodded, unwilling to let down her parents' wishes, "Okay."

In the evening, Zhen's mother cooked a sumptuous meal to celebrate the family reunion.

The family of three were chatting and laughing. Her parents did not say what price they had to pay to help her escape the crime and let her out of prison. They did not mention the drastic changes in the Zhen family in the past few months. Zhen Shan did not ask about their running around.

It seems that the old tile-roofed house they live in is no different from a luxurious mansion.

After dinner, Zhen Shan took the initiative to take over the task of cleaning the kitchen. Zhen's mother originally didn't want her daughter to do this, but when she insisted, she had no choice but to let her go. However, seeing her daughter do the housework skillfully, her eyes filled with tears.

It was obvious that her daughter used to be an eldest lady who had no problem with anything, but now...

Zhen Shan sighed softly in his heart, but pretended that he didn't see it. He was somewhat comforting and sensible, but it was pale and heartbreaking. It would be better to just let nature take its course.
