Chapter 56 Su Man: ? ? ? She...

Su Man: ? ? ?

She stomped her feet in anger as she watched Yu Songqing flee as if he were running away.

As Yu Songqing neared home, he turned around and saw Su Man staring at him resentfully!

She looks even more like Lu Xiaoqing now.

I need to avoid her from now on!

Cheng Xiuying made ghee pancakes and sliced ​​ham into thin slices, frying them until golden brown on both sides. She gave them to Yu Hongding to take on the train. They could be eaten plain with mushroom meat sauce and ham slices. She brought ten in total. She also cooked sweet potato porridge. When she saw Yu Songqing rushing back, she asked, "Is a tigress chasing you?"

Yu Songqing: "She's as terrifying as a tigress."

Grandma Yu walked over from the window, cracking sunflower seeds as she said, "That girl from the Su family has taken a liking to Song Qing."

Yu Songqing was furious: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense."

Grandma Yu: "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten noodles, would I lie!" She clicked her tongue twice: "This little girl is quite shrewd, she knows how to pick people."

Cheng Xiuying put down the rolling pin, ran to the window and looked out. She saw Su Man hanging clothes at the Su family's door. She said, "The Su family is clever, they've got a good plan." She glanced at Yu Songqing a few more times and saw his terrified look. He definitely didn't like her anymore. She said, "You've finally learned your lesson this time. Be more careful in the future, stay away from women. I'll find you a gentle and beautiful wife later. Your mother is now the head of the security department, and you've become a hot commodity. Don't let anyone scheme against you."

She looked down on the Su family, and even more so on Su Man.

Su Man was a little better than Lu Xiaoqing, but not by much.

Yu Songqing quickly replied, "I'll focus on building my career first."

Cheng Xiuying: "If you want to start a family first, you need to find someone suitable."

When it comes to marriage, you have to choose the best. How can you find a daughter-in-law who is inferior to the Yu family in every way? That would be like helping the poor!

Breakfast was a flaky pastry made from two kinds of dough. We didn't have the mushroom and meat sauce. Each person had a flaky pastry, filled with fried ham, cucumber strips, and green pepper strips. It was incredibly delicious! The pastry was crispy, and the ham was flavorful. Everyone enjoyed it immensely!

Each person gets a flatbread, but if you have a big appetite, it's definitely not enough, so you'll have cornbread instead.

Wrapping ham, cucumber strips, and green pepper strips in cornbread is just as delicious.

Old Yu was truly satisfied. He had wanted to try the Jinhua ham ever since he saw it yesterday, as he had never tasted such a delicacy before! In fact, he had hardly ever seen such a fine ham.

He thought his second son's wife would hide the Jinhua ham well, not letting the two of them eat it. But his second son's wife made it in the morning, cut a plateful, fried it until golden brown on both sides, sizzling and steaming hot. It was delicious.

He suffered for most of his life, but in his old age, he was able to enjoy a comfortable life with his second son's family.

Grandma Yu didn't care about anything else. She couldn't leave the food to her great-grandson, so she just ate it all. Life was so comfortable.

Yu Jiajia ate a pancake almost the size of her face and drank a bowl of porridge; her stomach was full.

After everyone finished eating, they escorted Yu Songyan to the gate of the compound.

Cheng Xiuying rode her old-fashioned bicycle to take Yu Hongding to the train station. She told him to go straight back to the factory later and reminded Yu Jiajia to be careful on the road.

Seeing that the Yu family was making new moves, Grandpa Wang quickly came out to see what was going on, asking, "Where are they going?"

Cheng Xiuying smiled and said, "Hongding is going to the capital to study, so I'll take him to the train station."

Grandpa Wang wanted to slap himself for talking so much! The Yu family has so many good things going on, he can't possibly be jealous of them all! Ugh!

After seeing Yu Hongding off, Yu Jiajia played at home for a while, then put away the dried astragalus root and gave some to Yu Jiamin. "Drinking it as a tea can replenish qi and nourish the complexion; it has many benefits!"

Yu Jiamin: "Thank you, Jiajia."

The other dried astragalus roots were wrapped in oil paper bags and placed in a box, totaling almost six pounds, which was quite heavy.

She slipped Yu Songchuan another three cents so he could have some ice cream, which moved Yu Songchuan to tears.

When it was almost time, Yu Jiajia got ready to go to work. "Big brother, let's go together. You can give me a ride."

Yu Songqing was touched: "It's okay, I can walk there, it's not far."

Yu Jiajia just mentioned it casually, and when Yu Songqing refused, she got on her bike and said, "Big brother, I'll be going now."

She rode her little green bike towards the factory. Even though it was quite cool in the morning, she was still sweating. It was more comfortable to ride in a car. She should have persuaded Yu Songqing a few more times to give her a ride!

She is now quite skilled at riding a bike and has even learned to hold the handlebars with one hand, riding steadily!

Ahead on the bridge, a middle-aged woman was kneeling by the roadside begging for food, holding a swaddled baby. Her clothes were tattered, and the baby in her arms was also ragged. The woman was gnawing on a hard, dry cornbread, and a few coins were scattered in a broken bowl in front of her. She looked particularly pitiful. Yu Jiajia braked and stopped, took two fruit candies from her pocket, and put them, along with two dimes and some banknotes, into the broken bowl.

Sigh, this is an era when we can't even get enough to eat.

She couldn't help much, she could only give a little when she saw it.

[A lone hero drives away tigers and leopards, and no hero fears bears! Reward: (Speed ​​+1) * 1 + Qingnang Book Fragment * 1 (1/10)]

But she couldn't care less. Yu Jiajia's heart tightened suddenly, and a sense of crisis rushed up her spine. She immediately stepped back, but it was too late. The poor beggar suddenly rushed towards her. Instead of charging straight at her, he turned sideways and used his shoulder to push Yu Jiajia backward into the stomach.

Yu Jiajia felt a tremendous force strike her, her stomach churning, and she staggered backward, her lower back slamming hard against the cold stone railing! The pain made her vision blur, and she quickly grabbed the railing to steady herself. The next moment, the woman used her arm to twist and push her down, and in a dizzying moment, Yu Jiajia fell off the railing and into the rushing river.

Fortunately, she was familiar with swimming from a young age, and despite the pain, she managed to float to the surface using her hands and feet.

She wiped the water off her face, took deep breaths of fresh air, and watched as the middle-aged woman, carrying the swaddled baby, picked up the broken bowl, nimbly flipped over, mounted her little green dog, and rode away.

Yu Jiajia was furious. That wasn't a child at all; it was just a fake baby. She had kindly given them money and food, and in return, the person had their eyes on her car! She shouted, "...Help! Someone's stealing my car! Please stop the woman in front of me!!" She quickly swam towards the shore, but after only a few strokes, her movements suddenly stopped.

On the bank ahead, a middle-aged man with a large belly jumped into the water, splashing a huge spray, and swam clumsily but quickly towards her, shouting, "Comrade! Don't panic! Brother, I'm coming to save you!"

Yu Jiajia's alarm bells rang in her mind. She subconsciously looked back and saw two carefree young men standing on the opposite bank of the river, grinning and jeering, "Director Zhu, a hero saving a damsel in distress!"

"Comrade, don't be afraid, Director Zhu will save you!"

Yu Jiajia is really overthinking things. This isn't about coveting her little green dog; it's about coveting her as a person.

She turned around and swam downstream along the river.

She was incredibly fast, and swimming along the river made her even faster, like a small fish, leaving the middle-aged man far behind.

Director Zhu was dumbfounded. The beauty he had just caught had escaped? He quickly shouted towards the shore, "Chase her! Stop her!"

The two grinning young men on the bank quickly rode up on their bicycles, blocked Yu Jiajia's path, jumped into the river, and stood in front of her.

Yu Jiajia really wanted to take out the stun gun and give them both a stun gun, but water is a conductor, and she couldn't very well take them down with her. She also didn't dare go ashore, afraid there might be people there. With what had happened in the river, there should have been people watching and helping by now, but no one was there!

The river is actually relatively safe.

She dived directly into the water, swam past the two people, and continued diving forward. Just as she was about to suffocate, she surfaced to breathe and then dived again to swim forward.

Director Zhu was already too tired to swim anymore. How could this woman swim so fast? He was furious. "You two idiots, chase her! Chase her!" He then called out to the shore for help.

Yu Jiajia was glad she hadn't gone straight to shore. She continued swimming forward, and at the fork in the river ahead, she swam underwater towards one side. She took out a straw from her backpack and used it to breathe, never surfacing again.

Director Zhu couldn't see her anymore, and it was at a fork in the road; he had no idea where Yu Jiajia had gone.

A young man asked, "Is it flooded?"

Even if you can hold your breath for a long time, you can't hold it for more than two minutes.

Director Zhu, with a gloomy face, left two people to search while the others split up and searched along both sides of the river.

The river was icy cold and swift. Yu Jiajia held her breath and struggled to dive downstream.

All she could hear was the roar of the water and the pounding of her own heart. She didn't know how far she had swum; her chest felt tight, her limbs felt heavy, and she was on the verge of collapse before she dared to cautiously peek out from under the shadow of a bridge pier.

The disgusting Director Zhu, who was like a pig, was no longer around, nor were his lackeys. She didn't dare to linger, so she gritted her teeth and swam forward for a while longer. When she reached the vicinity of the Public Security Bureau, she dared to go ashore and ran towards the Public Security Bureau with all her might.

She ignored people who offered help along the way, trusting no one, and just kept running.

When Yu Jiajia saw Lu Chenzhou at the intersection outside the police station, she was so surprised that tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed over and exclaimed, "Brother Chenzhou!"

Lu Chenzhou walked over quickly and looked her up and down. She was truly a mess. Her hair was dripping wet, which was scattered on her face. Her wet dress clung to her body. She was missing her shoes and only had one white sock left. Her other foot was bare and white, stepping on the stone pavement. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she looked alright.

He quickly took off his shirt and draped it over Yu Jiajia, then bent down to take off his white sneakers and placed them beside her feet. "Put your shoes on. What's going on?"

Yu Jiajia was in pain all over, with her feet, back, and stomach aching. She put on her shoes and burst into tears, crying, "Someone knocked me into the river and blocked me in there. I... I swam all the way from Jiefang Road."

She cried for a few moments and then stopped, grabbing her shirt sleeve to wipe away her tears haphazardly. She looked up at Lu Chenzhou and asked, "Can you fight? Can you beat six people?"

The little girl's wet eyelashes were still stuck together, and her eyes had lost their liveliness, even igniting a small flame of anger.

Lu Chenzhou replied succinctly, "Yes."

Yu Jiajia grabbed Lu Chenzhou's arm, turned around and pulled him back: "I'll take you to teach them a lesson!" Afraid he wouldn't go, she added: "Uncle Gu said you and Brother Yuanzheng should take care of me!"

Lu Chenzhou: ...

He glanced at the police station gate, then at Yu Jiajia, who was dripping wet but determined to fight back, and remained silent. She pulled him along, leading him towards the river.
