As a result, he failed to pull the mattress and was pulled into the river without any preparation.
Ye Rongan was so frightened that he only remembered to call for help when he saw his brother being washed away.
Fortunately, the Ye family on the other side heard it and was able to rescue Ye Rongxu.
Listening to Ye Rongan's halting account of the whole incident, the three adults all fell silent.
Ye Laodao said: "See, I told you not to be impulsive, talk to the child properly..."
Ye Qinggang was stunned for a long while before he squatted down and reached out to touch Ye Rongxu's cheek which was swollen from being hit by him. He was almost overwhelmed by guilt.
"Xiao Xu, does it hurt..."
Ye Rongxu hadn't said a word or cried before, but when he heard this question, tears immediately rolled down his face.
Ye Qinggang was tongue-tied and didn't know how to express his guilt, so he simply raised his hand and slapped himself twice.
"Xiao Xu, it's all Dad's fault. Dad apologizes to you!"
"Hey, Brother Qinggang..." Ye Laosi was speechless, "You have a really bad temper."
Boss Ye didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Okay, Qinggang, the kids are scared, and Xiaoxu even choked on the water. You should take them home first!"
"After returning home, give the child a hot bath and boil some ginger sugar water to drive away the cold..."
At this point, Ye Lao Da paused again, thinking of his own children who were playing and getting soaked, and said, "Forget it, go back and boil some water for the children to take a bath. I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some ginger sugar water and send it to you."
After making sure that everything was fine here, everyone walked back together.
Madam Lu had a solemn expression on her face all the way back.
After returning home, I found that Mrs. Ye had already boiled two large pots of hot water at home, ready to give the children a bath.
Boss Ye quickly scooped out two buckets of hot water and sent them to Ye Qinggang's house.
"Don't make it too cold, warm it up a little and give it to the child to soak properly."
Ye Qinggang quickly brought out the bathtub from home, and Boss Ye helped him add water and let Ye Rongxu go in to take a bath.
Seeing the child's complexion gradually become rosy and his lips not so pale anymore, Ye Qinggang breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember to quickly thank Ye Laoda.
"Brother Ye, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxu might have already..."
"Well, we're neighbors, and it's a bit rude to say that." Boss Ye patted Ye Qingshan on the shoulder, "But Qingshan, I'm a few years older than you, so please don't mind me saying a few words.
"You really need to change your temper.
"Hurry up and boil some eggs and roll them on the child's face!
"No matter what happens, don't hit children like this anymore."
"Brother Ye, I understand." Ye Qingshan responded with his head down.
Just as Boss Ye was about to leave, he ran into Mrs. Ye who came to deliver ginger sugar water.
Mrs. Ye had already heard the whole story from Ye Laosi.
Looking at Ye Rongxu's pitiful appearance at this moment, she suddenly felt pity for him.
Mrs. Ye angrily stuffed a bowl of ginger sugar water into Ye Qingshan's hands and asked him to give it to Ye Rongan.
Ye Qingshan originally wanted to say that Ye Rongan did not fall into the water, but the look that Mrs. Ye gave him was so scary that he dared not say a word. He directly took the bowl and went into the house, staring at his youngest son while he drank the ginger sugar water in the bowl.
Mrs. Ye gently coaxed Ye Rongxu to drink the ginger and sugar water, and then instructed Mr. Ye to go home and get the plaster and gently apply it on the child's face.
The cheeks that were rolled with the egg felt much better. When I applied the ointment, I felt much cooler instantly.
Ye Rongxu whispered, "Thank you, Aunt Ye."
"Silly boy, what are you thanking me for?
"Soak a little longer, but don't get sick from the cold!"
Mrs. Ye touched Ye Rongxu's head and felt sorry for the child.
As soon as she came out of Ye Qingshan's house with two empty bowls, she saw Madam Lu standing outside the door, looking a little confused.
"Mrs. Lu, don't worry, the child is fine."
Madam Lu asked something completely irrelevant: "Did I do something wrong?"
When Mrs. Lu returned to the village, she took her in and asked her to work at her home. She also told her many things about how women should be independent and strong.
She always felt that what she said was right, and that Lu did make money through her hard work.
But now, seeing that Ye Qinggang's family was in a mess because of Lu's departure, the children had no one to take care of them and almost got into trouble.
Madam Lu suddenly became confused again.
Were the things I said to Mrs. Lu and the help I provided to her really right?
She didn't know who to talk to about her conflicted feelings.
When asked by Mrs. Ye, he immediately spilled the beans.
After hearing this, Sister Ye thought for a while and said, "Madam Lu, I can't read a few words and I haven't read much.
"So I'm not like you and Mr. Wei, who can explain the reasons for everything.
"But for the past six months, I've been working to earn money while raising my children and taking care of the house from time to time.
"In fact, I don't think these are contradictory, and choosing to make money doesn't mean you can't take care of your family.
“The most important thing is how to strike a good balance and make the right choices.”
Seeing that Madam Lu had taken her words to heart, Sister Ye continued with a thoughtful look on her face, "Actually, I also thought about this when the accident happened a few days ago.
“If I hadn’t opened the restaurant, I would have stayed at home quietly taking care of the children.
"If Qingtian hadn't been arrested, would the child have committed so many crimes...
“But after being enlightened by my grandfather, I finally understood.
