My Kid Can Read Minds, and Now the Evil Stepmom's in My Grip

Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...

Chapter 26: The Farmer and the Snake

Jiang Xueying nodded in understanding. She also learned about the situation of the Luo family from the village chief. The Luo family had only one son, and the old house was in a dilapidated state. It was impossible to force them to change their minds. She smiled and politely declined the village chief's offer of cakes.

Some things cannot be forced. There are plenty of places anyway, so she can just look for one.

"Thank you for your help today, Village Chief. I will go to other places to have a look. I may have to trouble you again then."

She sighed after she went out. She had wasted two or three days to find such a place, but who knew that the owner would not sell it to her.

The land in this village is either cultivated or occupied by houses, so it is not easy to find a new suitable place to build a house.

Jiang Xueying was frowning and thinking hard, should she build a new house in the town? Or buy a house in the town, so it would be more convenient to run the store, but the land management here was another problem.

"Help! Help..."

Jiang Xueying raised her head suddenly when she heard the voice, frowned and looked around. Where did the cry for help come from?

"Is there anyone here? Help!

Following the sound, I saw a person floating in a ditch. Judging from her clothes, she should be a woman. She was struggling violently. Now is the peak season for the growth of aquatic plants. If this continues, she will probably be entangled and drowned.

Jiang Xueying ran over without thinking and looked at the woman who was gradually sinking. Unfortunately, there was not a single villager around.

what to do?

"Forget it, I can't care so much."

It was impossible for her to run and look for someone now. By the time she found the person, there might not even be any remains of him. Besides, she was a good swimmer, and the ditch didn't look very deep, but there were aquatic plants and mud underneath, so someone who couldn't swim would naturally be trapped.

The situation was urgent, Jiang Xueying jumped in without hesitation. She swam hard towards the woman in the middle. When she pulled her out, there was no sound anymore. She could only quickly swim towards the shore with her.

The villagers who came over after hearing the noise saw this situation and immediately hurriedly pulled the two people up.

Jiang Xueying coughed a few times, straightened her wet clothes, and looked at the unconscious woman lying on the ground. It turned out to be Gu who always caused trouble for her. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet!

"Oh, what should I do? It's been soaking for so long, and it looks like it's dead. I'm afraid even a doctor won't be able to help."

Listening to everyone's verdict on Gu's situation, Jiang Xueying didn't care to push aside everyone to check on Gu's condition.

"All of you please move aside and give her some breathing space."

As Jiang Xueying spoke, she untied Gu's outer clothes and kept pressing her breasts with both hands. After doing this for almost a few minutes, Gu finally spat out a few mouthfuls of water and woke up slowly.

"Ouch, wake up, wake up!"

"This Ye family's daughter-in-law is really capable. She has been saved so quickly?"

The people finally got through, and Jiang Xueying collapsed on the ground exhausted. The villagers around her began to discuss with each other, and they had a different definition of Jiang Xueying in their hearts.

"Gu's wife, how did you suddenly fall into the water? If it weren't for Ye's wife saving you, I'm afraid your family would be waiting to collect your body now."

Ye's wife? Jiang Xueying?

Hearing the villagers' voices, Gu's mind gradually became clear. She looked around and looked at Jiang Xueying who was slumped on the ground. Suddenly, a lot of thoughts came to her mind. Could it be that Jiang Xueying saved her?

Just when everyone was waiting for Gu to express her gratitude, she suddenly sneered and looked at Jiang Xueying sharply.

"She is just being hypocritical here. If she hadn't pushed me into the water, how could I have almost died?"

These words immediately made the villagers exclaim in surprise. They looked at Jiang Xueying who was shocked, and then at Gu who was full of resentment. They were all a little confused and couldn't help but start talking about it.

"What...what happened? Didn't the Ye family's daughter-in-law save people? How did it become pushing people?"

Jiang Xueying raised her head, glanced at Gu coldly, and sneered in her heart. It was really the story of the farmer and the snake. Even if the two had a grudge before, he would not slander her as a murderer.

What Jiang Xueying didn't know was that Gu wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail her. She knew that Jiang Xueying was now in the French fry business, and that huge amounts of money were flowing into her pocket, so much so that she probably couldn't even count it now. If she could take this opportunity to get some money, it would be worth her while to get into trouble today.

"Don't spit bloody words here. I just came out of the village chief's house. When did I push you into the water? If you don't believe it, let's go to the village chief to confront him."

When Gu heard this, there was no way she would really let her go look for her, so she immediately sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum. Anyway, no one saw how she fell into the water, so she would insist today that it was Jiang Xueying who pushed her into the water. Let's see how she would defend herself.

"I have such a miserable life! How can we not have conflicts when we get along with each other on a daily basis? This is just a minor incident, but Jiang Xueying, this vicious woman wants to kill me. Everyone, please give me some advice!"

Everyone knew that the two had a feud. After all, nothing could be spread in a village. In addition, Jiang Xueying's original owner had always had a bad reputation. Although Gu liked to gossip, she had never done anything harmful to the world.

After she made such a fuss, everyone would definitely believe it and ignore Jiang Xueying's words about going to find the village chief. They all started to blame her. After all, no one believed that Gu would use his own life and death to slander Jiang Xueying.

"Wife of the Ye family, why are you so cruel?"

"Yeah, everyone says you've gotten better lately, and we still don't believe that you've actually gone even further than before!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect that!"

People around her were talking about her at once, and the rumors were like a flood that could drown her. Jiang Xueying looked straight at Gu, and she turned her eyes away guiltily.

"I repeat, I have never pushed anyone into the water. I just happened to be passing by here and heard someone shouting for help, so I came over to check."

At this point, she couldn't help but snort coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm. In the past, she only killed people, how could she save people? She also got into trouble, which was really a thankless job.

"Oh, who knew I would save such an ungrateful person? I should have let you drown earlier!"

With Gu's personal experience, everyone naturally stood on her side. Gu was naturally not afraid of Jiang Xueying's threats and lowered her head, pretending to be bullied.

Someone in the crowd said something, and the others echoed it.

"If you really didn't push her into the water, why would you save her for no reason? Everyone knows that you two have the biggest grudge in the village. If this isn't a guilty conscience, what is it?"
