Jiang Xile picked up a small stone from the roadside and tossed it over discreetly.

Ouch!

As soon as Li Hongwei put Zhai Qiaoyun on the ground, he saw that she had woken up.

"Qiaoyun, how are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Su Jinxiu immediately pushed Li Hongwei away and, together with Yang Hongmei, helped the man up.

At this point, Zhai Qiaoyun had no choice but to open her eyes, but her mind was in complete chaos, and she didn't know how to deal with the situation.

"I...I...."

Zhai Qiaoyun's voice was a little hoarse, and she burst into tears before she could even utter a complete sentence.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Su Jinxiu pulled the person into her arms and gently comforted her:

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake. Don't go playing in the river anymore, it's too dangerous!"

"I...uh...I..."

"Zhai Zhiqing, you really have to thank Comrade Li this time. If he hadn't rescued you from the river and performed CPR, you wouldn't know what would have happened to you!"

Jiang Xile walked closer, looking at her with a smile and said.

"You... Jiang Xile... it's all your fault..."

"What's it to blame me for? Is Zhai Zhiqing out of his mind? He's started talking nonsense. Comrade Li is right here waiting for you!"

Jiang Xile handed over a ladder, and Li Hongwei naturally climbed up immediately.

"Qiaoyun, don't worry, I've already spoken to the captain, and I'll take responsibility for you."

Many people in the village heard about it, so they won't go around spreading rumors about what happened today.

Don't worry, it won't affect your reputation. Once you're feeling better, we'll go to the commune to get our marriage certificate!

"you...."

Recalling what had just happened in the water, Zhai Qiaoyun couldn't help but shudder.

Li Hongwei pressed her head down tightly, never wanting to experience the feeling of water pouring into her mouth and nose, the suffocating sensation, again.

But what am I supposed to do now?

She wanted to frame Jiang Xile without getting hurt, while she herself would be tarnished in public.

And this despicable man in front of her, every word he uttered was a threat.

It was obvious that if she didn't marry him, who knew what rumors would spread in the village the next second.

Just then, Li Hongwei slowly walked to Zhai Qiaoyun's side and picked her up from the ground again.

“You have to take good care of your own wife. Even in summer, the ground is cold. Let me take you home to rest. We won’t go back to the educated youth camp for now!”

"Let go of me! I'm not going to your house!"

Just now, Zhai Qiaoyun was unconscious, and everyone kindly stopped Li Hongwei from taking her away.

But now that she's awake, no one can force her to do anything. Whether she goes with Li Hongwei or not is up to her own choice.

Seeing that Zhai Qiaoyun was still trying to struggle and hadn't given up, Li Hongwei whispered in her ear:

"Who else besides me would know that Zhai Zhiqing has two black moles on his buttocks?"

Oh right, there's one on your chest too, isn't there? Is it on the left or right? Hmm, it's not black, it's red on your chest, right?

In an instant, all color drained from Zhai Qiaoyun's face, leaving only a deathly pale complexion.

"It seems that Qiaoyun has agreed to come home with me. In that case, we'll be going now. Thank you all for taking care of and showing concern for Qiaoyun in the past."

Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the commune to get our marriage certificate, and we'll definitely treat everyone to wedding candy!

After Li Hongwei finished speaking, he carried the person away in front of everyone.

Zhai Qiaoyun, nestled in his arms, had empty eyes and a blank expression, like a lifeless marionette.
