Through the 60s: I Want Life, Not Just to Survive

Plain and short-lived Jiang Shushu died six hours earlier than fated, all thanks to a drop of virgin boy's urine from the King of Hell's son.

To compensate, the King of Hell offered J...

Chapter 277 Asking for Forgiveness

Jiang Xiaocheng was afraid that something might happen to Zhang Xinyi in the water, which would be difficult to explain, so he wanted to go over and pull her up.

Jiang Shushu grabbed Jiang Xiaocheng and rolled his eyes at him. "Get out of the way! What are you meddling in? If you go and pull her over, and she tries to get into your arms, what are you going to do? I'll do it." She really didn't learn her lesson. This wasn't the right time to be a good person. Zhang Xinyi was so thick-skinned, who knew if she'd give up. Even though she wouldn't succeed with so many people watching, it was still annoying.

Zhang Meihua immediately grabbed Jiang Xiaocheng when she heard it and said, "Let's listen to my sister-in-law. I'll go and pull her up too." She had finally found such a good in-law family, and she couldn't let Zhang Xinyi make things difficult for her.

Seeing no one pulling her up immediately, Zhang Xinyi was almost going crazy: "Hurry up and pull me up, hurry up and pull me up! I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have fallen into the water on purpose, I shouldn't have wronged anyone on purpose, I don't want to die, wuwuwu... save me..."

Jiang Shushu walked over and grabbed Zhang Xinyi's flailing hands, lifted her up like a dead fish, and threw her aside.

Jiang Shushu walked up to Jiang Mingwen and his wife and said, "Cousin, cousin, go change your wet clothes in the bushes first. It's so cold, and wearing washed clothes will make you catch a cold or fever. We'll take care of it here."

Jiang Mingwen and his wife knew that after what had just happened, this woman would never be able to rely on their son again, so they felt at ease to change their clothes.

Jinhua: "Shushu, thank you for today. Your cousin and I are going to change clothes first. It's too cold... We'll talk later."

Just now, because of their anger, Jiang Mingwen and his wife didn't feel cold. Now that they have calmed down, they feel chilly everywhere. When the north wind blows, they can't help shivering.

Zhang Xinyi, lying on the ground, was cold and tired and looked extremely pitiful, but no one sympathized with her.

Li Shugen arrived late, his face filled with anxiety. He said to Zhang Xinyi, who was lying on the ground, "How did you fall into the water while washing clothes? Fantuan came back to call me and almost scared me to death. Luckily, you're okay, otherwise how would I explain myself?"

Li Shugen explained to everyone, "This is a distant relative of my wife's. He came to visit my wife yesterday. Who rescued her? I want to thank you on her behalf."

Jiang Shushu: "She swam up by herself, so you should thank her."

As soon as Jiang Shushu said this, many people laughed, "Haha..."

Zhang Meihua wouldn't tolerate it. "Your relative can swim, but she deliberately jumped into the river and pretended to be dying, hoping that my fiancé would save her and then blame him for it. She's really wicked."

Li Shugen was shocked: "How could Zhang Xinyi be so stupid? You said you can't get away with it this time, so you can't get away with it. At worst, you can find another opportunity later. Why are you so stupid as to let people know you can swim? Aren't you courting death? If you want to die, go die far away and don't drag me down with you."

"What? Is that true?" Li Shugen then turned to Zhang Xinyi, "I was wondering why a distant relative like you, whom I had never met, suddenly came to my house. It turns out this is the purpose of your visit! How could you do this? Go back and change your clothes, and then leave immediately. You are not welcome in my house." In front of the captain and the entire team, Li Shugen put all the blame on Zhang Xinyi without hesitation.

Zhang Xinyi wanted to say something, but when she saw Li Shugen's leisurely eyes, she said nothing.

Li Shugen snorted coldly. He told the girl the truth and to do as they had agreed. If she dared to bite him back, he would never let her go.

As soon as Jiang Mingwen and his wife changed their clothes and came back, Li Shugen ran up to them and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Captain, I've caused you trouble. A distant relative said she wanted to see us, so my wife kept her for one night. I didn't expect this to happen. I will send her back to the Huaxing Brigade and will never let her come to my house again." He sent her back quietly. She kept her promise and didn't betray me, and he tried his best to protect her and minimize the harm.

Jiang Mingwen looked at Li Shugen coldly: "You said you didn't know? Then why did she appear by the river? What a coincidence that it was my son's jogging time, and your son ran up to my son crying and screaming."

Li Shugen's heart skipped a beat, but he still wore a guilty expression. "I'm sorry, Captain. Zhang Xinyi was chatting with us last night. She said she was a friend of Zhang Meihua, an educated youth. We first talked about Zhang, and then the conversation turned to your son. I didn't think too much about it and just said what I knew. I was the one who told Zhang Xinyi about your son's running. I didn't expect her to do this. Blame me for not judging her."

Jiang Mingwen: "..." I felt like I had eaten a mouthful of bitter melon. I couldn't swallow it, and I couldn't not swallow it. Li Shugen, this old fellow, has been cunning since he was a child. If he said he was completely unaware, not only I wouldn't believe it, no one would believe it. Unfortunately, there is no evidence. It's really infuriating.

"It's okay if you don't know. You don't need to send the person back. I will find someone to send him back to the Huaxing Brigade and let their captain discipline the educated youth in their brigade." You want to end it quietly? No way. If I can't kill you, I will skin you alive.

Zhang Xinyi burst into tears upon hearing this. "Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? Wuuwuwu... Life in the countryside is too hard. I feel like I'm dying of exhaustion. Every day, I open my eyes and close them, and it's all about work, work. I can't hold on any longer. Wuuwuwu... I just wanted a better life, and I was so obsessed that I did something like this. I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

Seeing how pitiful Zhang Xinyi was, and that Jiang Xiaocheng was fine, several people felt sorry for her and advised Jiang Mingwen's family to forgive her and let it go.

Jiang Shushu said nothing, but turned to look at Jiang Xiaocheng. After all, this matter concerned Jiang Xiaocheng, so it was most appropriate for him to come forward and resolve it.

"Just now, you tried every possible way to frame me over and over again. If you couldn't continue, would you apologize to me? You won't. If your plan succeeds, do you know how much it will affect me? Our family and my fiancée's reputation will be completely ruined, and I will even be forced to marry you. How will my fiancée face others then? How will our family face others? Killing is worse than destroying the heart. What's the difference between you and the executioner? Why do you ask me to forgive you? I tell you, I will not forgive you. My family, including my fiancée, will not forgive you because you don't deserve it.

Just because you're suffering and tired, does that mean you can scheme against others? Do you think you can use others as stepping stones? Who doesn't have difficulties in this world? Everyone suffers and is tired. Others can work hard to overcome difficulties, so why can't you? Just because you're weak, does that mean you're right?
