A group of people saw Yang Qiangjun pressing Erni's breasts and started talking about it.
"What is Yang Zhiqing doing? Why is he constantly pressing Erni's chest?"
"I don't know, it can't be that he's taking advantage!"
"Why isn't Erni awake yet? She can't be dead, right?"
"That's right, why isn't she waking up yet? She can't have really drowned."
Everyone in Old Li's family ran over from the fields and saw this scene. Niu Cuihua was about to speak when she saw Erni spit out a few mouthfuls of water and wake up.
As soon as Yang Qiangjun saw Erni wake up, he stood up. However, when he looked up, he saw Niu Cuihua staring at him. Thinking about what everyone had just said, he began to explain, "Auntie, I wasn't taking advantage of Erni just now. I was saving her."
Niu Cuihua, who was originally angry, didn't say anything after hearing this explanation. Yang Qiangjun saw that Niu Cuihua didn't say anything and was about to put on his cotton jacket and go back, but he was stopped by Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi grabbed Yang Qiangjun's arm and said, "You are not allowed to leave. You took advantage of my Erni, and you must give an explanation. Otherwise, how will my Erni blame me in a few years?"
Hearing this, Yang Qiangjun felt helpless. "Sister-in-law, I'm really saving lives. This is called chest compressions. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the doctor."
Liu Zhaodi rolled her eyes, thinking, she had known for a long time that Yang Zhiqing's family was not ordinary. This time, she could seize the opportunity to blackmail him. If she missed this opportunity, she would never get it again. She glanced at the crowd and said, "Even if you are trying to save her, it won't work. Everyone will know that you took advantage of my Erni. It will be difficult for me to blame her then. What should I do? You have to compensate us!"
Yang Qiangjun immediately understood that the reason Liu Zhaodi had argued with him just now was to ask for compensation. He was very angry, but when he looked at Erni, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, he thought that even if it was just some compensation, it would not be a big deal. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Niu Cuihua.
Niu Cuihua: "Liu Zhaodi, what are you doing? Yang Zhiqing saved Erni, and he still wants to compensate you. What are you thinking? Besides, didn't you see that Erni was shivering from the cold? I really don't know how you can be a mother!"
Then he ordered Li Mingxi, "Xiaoxi, take your sister Erni home quickly to change clothes and warm her up in bed, otherwise she will be frozen to death!
The captain's wife, Zhao Xiulian, spoke slowly, "That's right, Erni's mother. This child fell into the water, and not only did you not care, but you also immediately demanded compensation. Is this how a mother should act?"
Niu Sufen, the accountant's wife, said: "This girl is most afraid of the cold. If she falls into the river at this time, she must be taken good care of."
Liu Zhaodi said angrily: "Then I want compensation, isn't it just to give Erni a good rest!"
"What? You should give Erni a good treat. Do you think I don't know why you want compensation from Yang Zhiqing?" Niu Cuihua said and glared at Liu Zhaodi.
When Liu Zhaodi heard what her mother-in-law said, she panicked and was about to retort when she heard Niu Cuihua say, "Okay, stop talking. This is it. Don't try to play tricks on me in the future."
Li Mingxi received instructions from his grandmother and took Erni Li Xinghua back home. However, along the way, Li Mingxi felt that Erni was acting strangely. He didn't know if she was frozen because she fell into the river or was just scared.
Li Mingxi: "Sister Erni, take off your wet clothes first and get into bed to warm up. I'll go get you a bowl of hot water." After saying this, he went straight to the east room without waiting for Erni to respond.
Li Erni was still in shock at this time, because she fell into the river just now, not because she slipped, but because Sanni did it on purpose. She didn't know why Sanni did this. If she asked herself, she would take good care of Sanni no matter what she did since she was a child.
No matter what Liu Zhaodi assigned them to do, Li Erni always took into consideration that Sanni was younger than her and would do more work. She even stopped Sanni from getting beaten. But why did Sanni do that? She hadn't done anything to her. She just couldn't understand why Sanni had become like this!
As soon as Li Mingxi entered the room, she saw Erni still sitting on the bed in her wet clothes, not even changing. "Sister Erni, what's wrong with you? Why don't you change your clothes?"
Li Erni came back to her senses and looked at her little cousin standing in front of her. "Oh, I'm fine! What did you say?"
Li Mingxi: "Sister Erni, why don't you change your clothes? Aren't you cold?"
When Erni heard this, she smiled at Li Mingxi first, then quickly took off her clothes and got into bed.
Li Mingxi looked at Er Ni, who was lying in bed in a daze, and wondered if she was stupid or something. Then he remembered that she had almost drowned and was probably a little scared, so he didn't say anything. But who knew that after the New Year, something big happened.
Liu Zhaodi didn't let Erni go to school, saying that it was because Erni was older and would be ready to marry a maid in a few years. It was just right that while she was still young, she could help with the housework at home to avoid being married off to a maid in the future.
Niu Cuihua didn't say anything about this. After all, they had already separated, and it wouldn't be good to interfere too much. Everyone originally thought that Erni would not resist based on her personality, but who knew that this time Erni was not as obedient as usual.
In the west room, Erni wiped her tears and looked at Li Aimin, "Why won't you let me go to school?"
Li Aimin looked at his tearful daughter standing before him with a face full of guilt, and said, "Then go ahead."
Liu Zhaodi snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? Li Aimin, do you have the money to let her have sex with you?"
Li Aimin retorted, "We still have the money from the family division. We can use that money to send her to school."
When Liu Zhaodi heard that she was going to use the money to send her daughter to school, she immediately refused. "No, I'm saving that money for Wumao to marry a wife. Don't even think about it!"
Then he glared at Erni, "Your ambition is high as the sky, but your life is fragile as paper. You're still going to school, what for? Look at how old you are. How many girls in the village go to school? Look at how many work points Erya and her sisters, who are the same age as you, earn in a day? You don't work every day, but you eat my food and wear my clothes. I don't know why I support you."
Li Aimin was not one to value his daughters. When he heard what Liu Zhaodi said, he was immediately shaken. He looked at Li Erni with embarrassment and said, "Why don't you just not go? In a few years, Dad will ask your aunt to find you a good husband."
Erni had known that her father Li Aimin would say this. After all, he had never valued her. But when she heard him say this with her own ears, she still felt a little sad. She glanced at Sanni who was standing aside with a gloating look on her face, then she wiped her tears and went to the east room.
