Chapter 125 Big Trouble
When the children on the shore saw that they had gotten into trouble, they ran away in fear.
The remaining cousin watched Wu Jiabao struggling in the water and burst into tears in fear while standing on the embankment. He cried for a long time before he remembered to run back and call for help.
All the adults in the family had gone to the valley to watch the pig being slaughtered. It was the old man from the neighboring house who ran over on tiptoe to call Li Yufen.
By the time Li Yufen was calling for people to rush to the dam, Wu Jiabao was already nowhere to be found.
Li Yufen collapsed on the ground with fear, having lost two and a half of her three souls. It was still the villagers who tried to salvage her, call the village doctor, and deliver letters to Yunshan Village.
If something happens to a child from another village here, you have to call the village doctor. Whether the child can be saved is one thing, but at least you have to do your best.
Li Yufen and Wang Qianjin, who arrived later, took Wu Jiabao back home crying. The village doctor and people from the brigade also came to see him several times, their faces full of worry.
Wang Guilan's hot temper was well-known in Dayan Village. Her husband's family had been in trouble one after another, so she sent Wu Jiabao here. Now that Wu Jiabao had gotten into trouble with her, who knows what would happen if someone from there came...
Just when Li Yufen and Wang Qianjin were worrying about how to explain, the young man who went to Yunshan Village to deliver the letter came back crawling, saying that Wu Dashan had fallen off the embankment on the way here and could not be woken up at that time.
Li Yufen and Wang Qianjin were stunned on the spot. They were afraid that the Wang family would have to pay the price!
When the village cadres in Dayan Village saw that the matter was getting more and more serious, they had no choice but to send people to pass messages to Yunshan Village on the one hand, and at the same time sent people to drive tractors to deal with Wu Dashan's matter.
The child cannot be saved, and the adult has to be sent to the hospital!
Wang Qianjin was the uncle's husband, so he had to take the lead in taking care of Wu Dashan's affairs. Before leaving, he pulled his wife aside and said:
"You should go to Yunshan Village again by yourself! We need to ask the Wu family to come and take Jiabao back first!"
There are many taboos for children who die young. There can't be a funeral, they can't be buried in the ancestral tomb, they can't use a coffin, and they can't be kept at home for a long time. In Jiabao's case, someone from the Wu family has to come and take him back, otherwise his soul will hold a grudge and stay in the Wang family and won't leave.
Li Yufen also understood this principle. If you stick your head out, you will be stabbed. If you hide your head, you will also be stabbed. There is no way to avoid it!
He had no choice but to grit his teeth, wipe away his tears, and rush to Yunshan Village.
After thinking of a pretext along the way, when I reached the back of the row of houses where Wu Dashan lived, I could already hear crying and shouting coming from inside. Wang Guilan was locked up and she shouldn't get the news so soon. The noise was most likely caused by Wu Laoer's wife, daughter and Old Lady Wu.
At this time, several women came over from that side, talking in low voices as they walked. It seemed that they had just come out of Old Wu's house.
One of them looked up and saw Li Yufen, and thought she looked familiar. He tilted his head to look at her for a few seconds, and then he shouted:
"Ah! Isn't this Jiabao's aunt? She's here so soon! Why don't I see Dashan and the others?"
Li Yufen was panicking. "I, I came over to take a look. They... are not that fast..."
When the women at the back heard this, they hurriedly came over and started talking to each other, saying they were concerned but in fact they were just trying to get some gossip.
Li Yufen finally managed to send them away, but she felt even more panicked. She sat down on the edge of the field, thinking about how to start talking about Wu Dashan later.
At this time, someone still greeted her, "Auntie, it's easy to catch a cold sitting here in such a cold weather."
Li Yufen looked up and saw a pretty girl holding a few books in her hands and a red scarf around her neck. She was looking at her with concern. It seemed that she was not with the others.
"I'm tired, let's take a rest before we go on." Li Yufen didn't want to talk to anyone at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the girl sat down next to her and asked, "Are you Wu Jiabao's aunt-in-law?"
When Li Yufen heard this, her nerves immediately tensed up again. Just as she was about to stand up, the girl continued:
"You are so unlucky. The Wu family has a nemesis like Wu Tong. Not only has the Wu family been broken up, paralyzed, and arrested, but now his brother has also been killed. Now, your family has been implicated!"
Li Yufen opened her mouth in surprise, "You... all... all think so?"
"Could it be that... Wu Jiabao really fell into the water because you didn't take good care of him?"
"Ah! No, no! Of course not!"
"Oh! So, if Wu Tong, a nemesis, is not to be punished, who knows how many people will be implicated in the future! Alas!"
The girl sighed, got up and left.
Li Yufen stared blankly at the girl's back, and after a while she came back to her senses with a start, yes!
Wu Tong!
It’s all Wu Tongke’s fault!
Not only did she kill her brother!
She even caused her own father to be dead or alive!
Now, they almost dragged the Wang family into this! All this is because of her!
Li Yufen got up from the ground and went to Wu's house in a heroic manner.
Zhang Yaping watched from afar as Li Yufen stormed into the Wu family. The anger that had been accumulating for several days finally dissipated a little. Even if Su Tong could not be seriously injured, she had to make her infamous and unable to take care of herself, so that she would not have to show up in front of Brother Dongyang for no reason.
Brother Dongyang obviously just wanted to help her out of kindness, but why should he sacrifice his marriage, his future, and his lifelong happiness?
Although Su Tong did not accept Wang Guilan's statement at that time, she knew how just and responsible Brother Dongyang was. He must have listened to Wang Guilan's words and took the initiative to approach Su Tong again.
It doesn’t matter. With her around, Brother Dongyang was just blinded temporarily, so she will help him see clearly how the orphan girl who didn’t even have her family around was despised by everyone.
She gathered the books in her hands and turned away.
