Wang Dahu didn't care that he was caught in the act by the village chief and shouted, "My brother, my brother fell down!"

"Fell down? Where did he fall?" Wang Guangping asked without reacting.

"He fell into the river!" Wang Dahu lay on the river bank, looking around desperately.

It was already dark today, and the entire river surface looked pitch black, not to mention the people who fell into the river.

Besides, even if you could see it, the person would have been washed away by the water!

When Wang Guangping heard someone had fallen into the river, he became anxious and stamped his feet, saying, "Your brother has already fallen into the river, why are you still dawdling here?"

"I can't swim! Do I have to jump in with him?" Wang Dahu shouted in despair.

"Who told you to jump?" Wang Guangping said speechlessly, "You are young and agile, hurry back to the village and call for help!"

"Oh, oh!" Wang Dahu finally reacted, quickly got up, and crawled back to the village to call for help.

"Da Long? Da Long?" Wang Guangping walked around with a lantern in his hand and shouted for a long time but there was no response.

I guess the person was washed away and didn't land nearby.

Soon, Wang Dahu came over with the villagers, holding torches.

Finally, there was the anxious Widow Liu and the crying Jiang.

Wang Guangping saw this and ordered loudly: "Everyone go downstream along the river bank and search carefully.

"Zhengbao Niang, don't be so quick to cry.

"Dalong is a good swimmer. There's been such a long drought recently, and the river isn't deep, so he should be fine."

After hearing what the village chief said, Jiang felt relieved. She wiped away her tears and stood aside waiting for news.

Widow Liu slapped Wang Dahu on the back.

"Didn't you two agree to go out...? Why are you still here at the riverside so late at night?"

Wang Guangping was also wondering about this matter!

"That's right. It's pitch dark. What are you two doing here?"

Wang Dahu naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and said vaguely, "We were just bored and came here for a stroll."

When Wang Guangping heard him hesitating, he thought of the brothers' usual bad deeds and immediately became alert.

"Da Hu, tell me the truth, what on earth are you two doing here at the riverbank?"

Wang Dahu's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of any excuse for a moment. He simply stiffened his neck and said nonchalantly, "That law says we can't stroll along the river at night?"

Wang Guangping was choked by his words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If it were in the past, Wang Guangping would not have taken it to heart because Wang Dahu's brother-in-law was the manager of the Qin Mansion.

But after the previous incident, Yang Xing's prestige in the village has been greatly reduced.

So Wan Guangping couldn't help but think to himself, the whole family has moved back to the old house in disgrace, and yet they still dare to talk to me like this?

Widow Liu was almost mad to death at her silly son.

Now that the boss has fallen into the river and his life or death is unknown, the villagers have to help find him. Yet he is still here shouting at the village chief with his neck stretched out.

Widow Liu raised her hand and slapped Wang Dahu a few more times, making him run away in panic with his head in his hands.

"Mom, why did you hit me?"

"Why did I hit you? How could you talk to the village chief?"

After beating her son, Widow Liu quickly and politely said to Wang Guangping, "Village chief, please don't bother with him.

"You know my second son, he's not very smart, so there's no point getting angry with him.

"The most important thing now is to find the boss."

Wang Guangping said, "Aren't we all here to help your family find it?"

Widow Liu saw Wan Guangping talking while shining a lantern on the ground, as if he was looking for something.

She couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief, did you drop something?"

"I fell down by the river this afternoon and accidentally dropped my purse.

“After the water truck was repaired in the afternoon, I was so happy that I didn’t even notice it. It was only when I was taking off my clothes in the evening that I realized my purse was missing.

"If I hadn't come here looking for my wallet, I wouldn't have run into the brothers Dalong and Dahu!"

After hearing this, Wang Dahu was so angry that he didn't know who to vent his anger on.

If Wang Guangping had not come to look for the purse, or even if he had come a little later in time, my brother would not have fallen into the river.

Wang Guangping recalled the place where he collided with Qingtian and fell during the day, and soon found his lost purse in the grass.

He picked it up, dusted off the dirt, and quickly tied it back to his belt. Then he walked back to the river and asked, "Did you find it?"

Everyone who came to help look for someone shook their heads.

Seeing this, Jiang couldn't help but began to sob again.

Widow Liu stared at the river with a frown on her face.

Her eldest son lived up to his name. Unlike his second son who was a landlubber, he had been an excellent swimmer since childhood. Before he was ten years old, he could swim back and forth on the river in one breath.

So even if you fall into the river at night, there shouldn't be any danger.

But after seeing more than 20 people holding torches searching along the river for such a long time without finding anyone, Widow Liu gradually realized that things might not be as simple as she thought.

Based on her understanding of her own son, Widow Liu pulled Wang Dahu aside.

"Tell me honestly, what did you two do? How did your eldest brother fall?"

Wang Dahu was also extremely worried. When he heard Widow Liu ask this, he immediately confessed everything: "My eldest brother said he wanted to cause some trouble for the new family and was planning to break the part of the windmill.

"Originally he was working on it upstairs, and I was holding a torch to light the way for him downstairs, but who knew the village chief would suddenly show up.

"I was so scared that I quickly put out the torch, but I didn't expect my brother to suddenly fall into the river..."

When Widow Liu heard this, she immediately felt dizzy.
