"Xiao Xu, are you okay?" Boss Ye asked while patting his back.

Ye Rongxu kept coughing and spitting out dirty water, and was completely unable to speak.

"Brother, brother..." Ye Rongan rushed over crying.

Ye Laosi had been implicated and frightened before, and his whole body was weak and collapsed on the ground. Now he finally recovered a little.

He turned over and sat up and said, "You two little brats, what are you doing running to the river? It's so dangerous!

"If we hadn't seen it today, something terrible would have happened!"

Before Ye Rongxu and Ye Rongan could say anything, Ye Qinggang, who had heard the news from somewhere, rushed over like crazy.

Ye Qing just came over and without even saying hello to the Ye brothers, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Rongxu.

"I told you to stay home and look after your grandparents and your brother, but you secretly brought your brother to the river to play. Why don't you just drown yourself?"

Ye Qinggang's slap was very powerful.

Ye Rongxu's pale cheeks became visibly red and swollen.

Boss Ye finally reacted and grabbed Ye Qinggang's hand, which was about to hit him again. He frowned and said sternly, "Qinggang, if you have something to say, tell the child properly. What are you doing?"

Ye Qinggang gave face to Boss Ye and put down his hands and did not continue to hit him, but he was still gasping for breath with anger.

After Lu went out to work and earn money, Ye Qing was angry and confused at first.

However, while being busy at home and outside, he gradually understood what Mrs. Lu said before she left.

Usually, these things at home fall on Mrs. Lu's shoulders.

But he only felt that he was the one working the hardest in the fields, and his wife only needed to do some light housework at home, and she could almost enjoy herself at home.

It was not until everything fell on him that he finally understood how difficult it had been for his wife over the years.

So Ye Qinggang stopped begging his wife to come home again and again, and tried to change his mindset. When Mrs. Lu came home, he calmly discussed with her whether he could spend some money to find someone in the village to come and help cook every day.

After all, Ye Qinggang could still do other things, but cooking was something he was not good at. No one, young or old, liked the food he made, and even he himself found it hard to swallow.

Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with Ye Qinggang's change of attitude and agreed readily. She also personally found an aunt in the village who had good cooking skills and wanted to earn some money to supplement the family income to help.

In this way, Ye Qinggang's life became much easier. He only needed to work in the fields every day, and then go home to clean the house, wash clothes and feed his parents.

As a result, he had no time to go out and find others to play cards for entertainment, and he had to spend all his time at home and in the fields.

Fortunately, his two sons are sensible and will do what they can at home to help him share some of the burden when he goes to work in the fields.

Who would have thought that today when he was working in the fields, he suddenly heard villagers calling him, saying that two children had fallen into the river and asked him to hurry over.

Ye Qinggang was so frightened that he dropped his hoe and ran to the river. After seeing that his two sons were still alive, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was filled with anger.

What if this really happens?

That's why he rushed up and beat his eldest son without asking any questions.

After being stopped by Boss Ye, Ye Qinggang calmed down a little.

Looking at his son who was soaked all over, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"You kids, your parents tell you every year that you can't play by the river!

"Don't you know that people drown in this river almost every year?

"If anything happens to you, how will your mother and I survive?"

Ye Qinggang couldn't help but feel a little angry as he spoke.

"Xiao An is young, so it's understandable that he's naive.

"As his brother, not only do you not know how to manage him, you even brought him to the river!"

Ye Rongan is timid and would not dare to run to such a far place by himself without someone to lead him.

So Ye Qinggang preconceived that it was because the weather was too hot that Ye Rongxu secretly brought his brother to the river to play in the water.

Unexpectedly, Ye Rongan, who was crying out of fear just now, suddenly ran over and hugged Ye Qinggang's arm after hearing this.

"Dad, don't hit my brother. It's not my fault!"

"Don't think that you're out of trouble just because I didn't hit you." Ye Qinggang said unhappily, "Didn't Dad tell you not to come to the riverside?"

Ye Rongan started to hiccup from crying, but he still insisted on sobbing: "I wet the bed in my sleep at noon, and my brother came to the river to wash my mattress, wow..."

We had pickled eggplant at home for lunch today. Ye Rongan was greedy and ate a little more. After the meal, he felt thirsty and drank a lot of water.

He didn't feel the urge to urinate before his nap, but soon after he fell asleep, he couldn't hold it anymore.

By the time he woke up from the discomfort of the wet mattress, it was too late.

Ye Rongan hadn't wet the kang for a long time, and was afraid that Ye Qinggang would get angry when he got home, so he was scared and cried on the spot.

Seeing that his brother was so scared, Ye Rongxu didn't want Ye Qinggang to go to the river in the dark to wash the mattress after returning home from a day of farm work, so he decided to go to the river to wash the mattress himself and hang it up to dry.

But how would the two children know how to wash the mattress?

They could only move the mattress to the riverside and prepare to soak it and wash it, just as they had seen adults wash things before.

The cotton mattress became extremely heavy after absorbing water. Not to mention two children, even an adult might not be able to lift it.

Ye Rongxu felt the mattress starting to sink, and quickly tried to pull it back up.
