When Lao Liao was first rescued, she was conscious. She was old and frail, and had also choked on water due to shock and fright. The water in the pond was very cold in early spring, and she lost too much body heat in it. Lao Liao fainted shortly after being pulled from the water.
After being kept warm, Lao Liao quickly regained consciousness.
Old Liao woke up, and Wang Wenjuan was about to leave, reminding Song Yan and Li Yuanzhao to leave early as well. That's just how reality is; getting too close to them isn't good…
"How did you fall into the water?" Song Yan asked.
Old Liao pursed his lips and remained silent.
Song Yan: There's more to this than meets the eye; it wasn't an accidental slip into the situation.
"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?" Song Yan smiled slightly.
This kind of warm smile is only seen from one's own family. Old Liao couldn't resist it at all. "It was that new educated youth... I was walking towards her from the opposite direction. I wanted to walk around her, but she blocked my way. She said I smelled terrible... that I was in her way and blocking her path... cough cough cough... she just pushed me down. After I got up, she pushed me a second time... I stumbled back a few steps and then slid down the slope..." Old Liao didn't have much strength left, and his words were broken and intermittent.
"How could she do this? She was planning to kill someone." Song Yan stood up abruptly.
"Song Yan!"
Li Yuanzhao called out to Song Yan.
Li Yuanzhao: "Don't be impulsive. No one saw it. Dong Mingming can not only deny it, but also say that Lao Liao slandered her."
Song Yan: "I know that the people living here have no right to speak."
And even if someone saw it, they probably wouldn't be willing to testify for Lao Liao.
Old Zeng and Old Du were both behind Song Yan just now, and they both shook their heads at her.
"Old Liao is awake, let's go!" Li Yuanzhao called to Song Yan, they had been staying for quite a while.
When Song Yan came to see Lao Liao again that evening, Lao Liao had a fever.
Song Yan came specifically because he was worried she might get a fever. He brought fever reducers and anti-inflammatory medication. He also got a prescription from Old Han; she plans to go to the county to get the medicine tomorrow…
After leaving the cowshed, Song Yan walked back, feeling increasingly angry.
Who does Dong Mingming even belong to?
Li Yuanzhao said she had an argument with everyone this morning. How could she possibly win an argument with everyone by herself? She felt frustrated. So she took her anger out on Lao Liao.
Upon arriving at his doorstep, Song Yan turned around and headed straight for the educated youth settlement…
"Is someone knocking on the door?" Li Yuanzhao thought she heard a knocking sound.
"Who is it?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"It is I, Song Yan."
Li Yuanzhao was soaking her feet in warm water when Shen Hanyang quickly got up to open the door.
"Why did you come at this time?" Li Yuanzhao's heart skipped a beat; she thought something bad had happened to Lao Liao.
Dong Mingming pointed at Song Yan, "The courtyard gate was bolted, how did she get in?"
"Have you washed your feet?" Song Yan asked Li Yuanzhao.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Yuanzhao quickly dried her feet.
Song Yan: "Can I borrow this basin of foot-washing water?"
"Huh?" Li Yuanzhao was dumbfounded. Someone actually wanted to borrow water to wash their feet?
Song Yan picked up the foot-washing water and placed it on a stool in the middle of the ground.
The three people in the room had no idea what she was going to do and just stared at her.
"You two get out!" Song Yan pointed at Li Yuanzhao and Shen Hanyang.
Shen Hanyang thought to himself: Why am I being asked to go out so late at night? What's the purpose of this?
Li Yuanzhao recalled Song Yan's gloomy face when they left the cowshed. Without hesitation, she pulled Shen Hanyang out and stood in the outer room, looking into the room through the window in the door.
Song Yan's eyes were dark and deep, as if they were about to drown Dong Mingming.
Dong Mingming took a step back in fear, her voice trembling as she asked, "What are you doing?"
Song Yan grabbed Dong Mingming's hand and twisted her arms behind her back, while grabbing her hair with his other hand and shoving her head directly into the foot bath water.
Dong Mingming felt she was struggling with all her might, but Song Yan's grip was firm and he wouldn't budge.
How long can an ordinary person hold their breath? Dong Mingming couldn't stand it anymore, and when she opened her mouth, the foot-washing water went straight into her stomach.
Only then did Song Yan lift her head out of the basin.
Dong Mingming, who was able to breathe freely, was panting heavily.
Although Dong Mingming's head was out of the water, it was not free. She tried to shake off the water, but she couldn't; Song Yan was still holding her tightly.
Shen Hanyang never expected that Song Yan, who looked so delicate and pretty, could be so ruthless. She opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Li Yuanzhao quickly covered Shen Hanyang's mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
Li Yuanzhao said in a low voice, "If you want to watch the excitement, then watch from here. Don't make a sound. If you don't want to watch, then go outside. But we need to remember that we didn't see anything."
Shen Hanyang nodded repeatedly, partly out of surprise, but also out of a sense of satisfaction. Dong Mingming, taking advantage of the fact that no one could do anything to her, had been causing trouble every day.
Take tonight's foot bath water, for example. She only added one ladle of water, just enough for herself. She usually uses the hot water others boil, and she's unwilling to add an extra ladle of water even when it's just for her.
This is great! You didn't treasure your foot bath water? Now it's all yours!
Shen Hanyang's thoughts swirled in his mind for a moment, and then Song Yan pressed Dong Mingming's head down into the water again. She couldn't hold it in any longer and started drinking the foot bath water.
Song Yan lifted Dong Mingming's head out of the water. She opened her mouth to shout, but before she could make a sound, she was pushed back into the basin. This happened several times, and she gave up on shouting. Once out of the basin, she gasped for breath.
Since Dong Mingming stopped calling out, Song Yan allowed her to have longer intervals between calls.
Having caught her breath, Dong Mingming pleaded, "Song Yan, please let me go! I haven't bothered you since you stopped letting me join your group. Hmm!"
