Gu An'an didn't find this strange. If the Zhang family wanted to protect their son, the best way was to marry Sun Yingdi.

Of course, if things get out of hand, it's certain that he'll be locked up for a couple of days and suffer some hardship.

"sad?"

Wang Xiaojuan shook her head, "I didn't let my brother kill them, just so they could be together. What's there to be sad about?"

“He doesn’t want to keep Sun Yingdi outside and have me take care of his whole family. I’ll let them dream on.”

Wang Xiaojuan was seething with hatred, and now she was just waiting to see what would happen.

"Yesterday, Zhang Yuan and Sun Yingdi were taken away by the security team, and the Sun family came to their door. They kept saying that they would only settle the matter if the Zhang family paid a high dowry, otherwise they would definitely make Zhang Yuan get shot."

Zhang Yuan was the youngest and had a sweet tongue, making him the darling of the Zhang family elders. They would never stand by and watch him die.

There was really no other way but to do as the Sun family wanted. After all, they only cared about money and didn't care about their own daughter at all.

After receiving the money, the Sun family stopped causing trouble and happily bought a bunch of things for their beloved son.

As for Sun Yingdi, she's still locked up inside, and she'll be sent to a farm for reform along with Zhang Yuan, so of course she won't get a single penny.

That wasn't the worst of it. Right after Zhang Yuan had a massive hemorrhage, his father and older brother were investigated for stealing and reselling public property.

Before Zhang's mother could even set up a rescue operation for the two of them, Zhang's second son's girlfriend heard about these things in the Zhang family and chose to break up with him.

Upon seeing this.

Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law ignored her mother's pleas and took her child back to her parents' home.

In just a few days, the Zhang family's usual liveliness had vanished.

Unable to think of any way to resolve their current predicament, Zhang's mother could only lock herself at home, going crazy and overthinking.

She wouldn't blame her own son; after thinking it over, she concluded that the culprits were Sun Yingdi and the Sun family.

Since Sun Yingdi couldn't see her, she could only go to the Sun family. If she couldn't beat them, she would curse them, turning the Sun family's petty affairs upside down, which made the commune members laugh for quite a while.

Wang Xiaojuan adjusted her mindset quickly and even had time to care about such gossip. Whenever she heard any news, she would come and chat with Gu An'an about it.

"You seem to have a lot of energy."

Wang Xiaojuan raised her chin slightly. "Of course, if it weren't for the bad influence of watching people make a fool of themselves in front of others, I would love to live in the commune."

But it doesn't matter if she doesn't live there, her uncle and aunt come back every day or two to bring back a handful of melons.

With family like that and friends like Gu An'an, what's the big deal about losing a scumbag or a scumbag?

The two were chatting happily when suddenly a scream echoed throughout the area.

"Gousheng, damn Gousheng, where did you go?"

A child who was playing in the mud a few minutes ago is nowhere to be seen now; a mother would definitely be worried.

Moreover, this land is right next to a river; if a child were to fall in, I really don't want to even think about it.

Dog's mother had obviously considered this possibility as well, and she ran desperately toward the river, but her legs began to weaken.

Fortunately, there were many workers on the field, and some of the young and quick ones had already run towards the river and carefully inspected the riverbank.

"Gou Sheng fell into the water."

After a shout, everyone saw a figure plunge into the water. One after another, many more people ran to the riverbank. Some went directly into the water, while others desperately stretched the handles of their hoes into the river.

A few minutes later, everyone got ashore. Gou Sheng's mother, seeing her son who was not moving, fainted on the spot.

"What should we do? Gousheng's mother has also fainted. Let's quickly send her to the commune."

"It's too late, Gou Sheng's face has turned blue and purple."

"It's over! My family's child fell into the river just like Gousheng and died within minutes."

Gu An'an rushed over when she heard the noise. She saw several people who had gone into the river to rescue Gou Sheng patting and hitting him, but their methods were wrong and had no effect on saving him. If this continued, Gou Sheng would surely die.

Because Zhou Yue had a good relationship with the children in the village, she was very popular with them when she went out. Gou Sheng was one of them. Although he was young, he was good at sweet-talking.

If a four-year-old child is saved but not saved, it will always leave a bad taste in one's mouth later on.

At this moment, Gu An'an felt that she had changed. She was no longer as indifferent as she was in the apocalypse. Perhaps she had been healed by the people of Xiaowang Village?

Without thinking too much, Gu An'an pushed past the people and went inside, saying, "Let me take a look."

Upon seeing that it was her, someone tried to stop her, saying, "Gu Zhiqing, we know you are very capable, but this is a matter of life and death, don't act rashly."

Even Wang Xiaojuan shook her head at her, not because she thought Gu An'an was being reckless, but because she was afraid that if Gu An'an got involved, Gou Sheng would still be gone, and then Gou Sheng's family would blame her for it.

“Yeah! You’re not a doctor, you can’t just play the hero. What if you end up killing someone who could have been saved? They only have their dog and their only child left.”

Almost no one supported Gu An'an's involvement. Although there were a few troublemakers, most people genuinely cared about her, since she had truly done practical things for the village.

Before Gu An'an could speak, the village chief's wife arrived.

"Let her do it!"

"An'an, I'm entrusting Gousheng to you now, you..."

Gu An'an nodded, "I'll do my best."

"Aunt Qiuju."

When Gou Sheng's mother opened her eyes, she saw Gu An'an pressing on her son's chest with both hands. Without thinking, she tried to climb forward and snatch her son back, but was stopped by the village chief's wife.

"Auntie, please take my son to the hospital quickly, please take him to the hospital quickly."

People these days lack medical and first-aid knowledge and only trust authority, often wasting opportunities to save lives.

"It's definitely too late to send him to the commune. If you want to save your son, don't bother Gu Zhiqing. Of course, if Gousheng... you can't blame Gu Zhiqing for this."

The village chief's wife had a stern look in her eyes, as if she was determined to protect Gu An'an to the end.

Gou Sheng's mother looked at her son, who was being held down by Gu An'an, and then at the village chief's wife beside her. In the end, she could only manage to utter one sentence.

"Auntie, I only have this one son."

The village chief's wife certainly knew the pain of losing a loved one, not to mention that Gousheng was only four years old.

"Trying anything as a last resort."

An'an can cure even someone who has been paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, so she can definitely save Gousheng too.

She didn't say it aloud, but silently told herself it.

Gou Sheng's mother knew she was telling the truth, so she stopped pushing forward and sat quietly on the edge of the field, tears streaming down her face.

Even the other onlookers held their breath, afraid that their breathing might disturb Gu An'an.

"Can someone blow air into his mouth? Does anyone know how to do that?"

Gu An'an demonstrated it once, and although Gou Sheng's mother didn't know what it was for, she still rushed over as fast as she could, "Gu Zhiqing, let me do it, okay?"
