Chapter 28 Not worth half a grain coupon
Because the elderly woman suffered a relapse of her heart condition, it would be best for her to rest for the foreseeable future.
Cen Yan gave several instructions regarding precautions for heart disease, and then asked the flight attendants to help take the old man and woman back to their cabin.
After the person involved left, the crowd on deck, seeing that Cen Yan had successfully saved a life, applauded and cheered for her.
Moreover, the way he looked at Cen Yan was clearly different.
This young girl who remained calm and saved lives in such a critical moment is definitely destined for a bright future!
"Tch! It's just a lucky break. Even without her, the old lady would have been fine after taking the emergency medicine. What's there to brag about? If the old man had brought out the medicine sooner, I could have saved her too."
Seeing Cen Yan being fawned over, the man initially smirked and began to make sarcastic remarks.
Cen Yan raised her hand to tuck her stray hair behind her ear and chuckled softly, "Comrade, don't worry about whether I got lucky or I'm really capable. Now that I've saved the person, isn't it your turn to keep your promise?"
"W-what promise? I don't know!" The man's expression changed, and he pushed through the crowd to leave.
Cen Yan wasn't going to joke around with this troublemaker. She grabbed him by the back of his collar and shoved him against the railing.
"You're playing dumb. I remember it clearly. You said that if I rescued the person, I would jump off the boat."
"Comrade, are you going to jump yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
Cen Yan snorted and pushed the man away, which scared the man so much that his legs went weak.
"Aaaaaah!! No, don't push me! I know I was wrong!!"
Cen Yan sneered, "Now you know you're wrong? Too late!"
Just then, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed Cen Yan's wrist.
"Comrade, let's be lenient when we can. Why should we be so aggressive when we're traveling?"
Cen Yan turned her head and saw a young girl wearing a white dress and a white headband smiling at her.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, but Cen Yan felt that this person's smile was a bit sly.
I can't resist a little sparring.
"Fine, I'll let him off the hook, then you'll jump for him?" Cen Yan asked.
The woman's expression changed, then she burst out laughing: "I don't believe you would actually dare to push someone out. I advise you to think twice. If this man gets caught in the propeller and an accident happens, you'll be waiting for cold handcuffs after you get off the ship."
"Comrade, you don't want to turn a hero into a murderer out of nowhere, do you?"
Cen Yan didn't speak, but frowned.
Seeing this, the woman laughed even harder and boldly reached out to pry Cen Yan's hand off the man's collar.
"My name is Wang Manman, which means 'the vines grow in the fields.' My aunt is the wife of the political commissar of the Dongming Island military unit. Comrade, could you please do me a favor and release Comrade Zhang Wei?"
Cen Yan smiled slightly at Wang Manman, "Sorry, no!"
After saying that, Cen Yan grabbed a swimming ring from the side, put it on the man, and kicked him into the water.
"If you're willing to gamble, you have to accept the consequences. Also, this comrade who was trying to help should do his homework before speaking in the future. Don't pretend to know what you don't. This type of passenger ship's propeller won't get people caught in it."
Thump!
"Ah!! Help!!" The man fell into the water, and his pitiful screams startled the flight attendants.
They quickly arranged for someone to drive a kayak back to rescue him, but in that short time, the passenger ship had already sailed far away.
Wang Manman was stunned. She hadn't expected that even after she had brought up her uncle, the political commissar, as her backer, Cen Yan would still reject her so directly. Her expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
Zhang Wei was one of the educated youths sent to Dongming Island in the same batch as her, and he did a lot of flattery towards her along the way.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, she should have helped Zhang Wei when he was in trouble; otherwise, how would she survive in the educated youth camp in the future?
But Cen Yan was so ungrateful! She directly challenged her in front of so many educated youths!
Wang Manman saw that the people around her were whispering and laughing at her, and she immediately lost face.
"Comrade, you've gone too far! I've already pleaded with you like this, why did you still kick Zhang Wei into the sea?"
Cen Yan looked Wang Manman up and down a few times and laughed, "Because of your face, it's not worth half a grain coupon."
