Yang's tears stopped immediately. She had been too flustered just now and only now noticed that although the little dumpling was motionless and had its eyes closed, it was still breathing very faintly.
Glancing again at her son who was wailing loudly, Shen Jialuo secretly opened her eyes while crying, but accidentally met Yang's gaze, and immediately closed them again to continue crying.
Yang: "......."
Hmm, she seems to have figured something out.
The little dumpling is still just a little dumpling. No matter how smart she is, her acting skills aren't good enough to fool anyone.
Everyone was too panicked to notice.
Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this was probably the children's idea.
Yang didn't know what their plan was, so she simply pretended not to know anything and continued to hold Lili to keep her warm.
After hesitating for a moment, she also started crying along with Shen Jialuo: "Lili, Lili, don't scare your mother, Lili!"
Aunt Li was dumbfounded. She had never seen such a scene before. She had clearly been sitting on the ground rubbing her bottom the whole time, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from that little good-for-nothing. How could it have been her who did it?
Aunt Li started to panic. Although it had nothing to do with her, she had a feeling that something bad would happen if she stayed any longer.
Aunt Li cursed under her breath, "Damn it, I should have known better than to cause trouble."
If she had just carried the rice and left, how would she have run into Shen Jiahao, and how would things have turned out like this?
It's all that little money-loser's fault.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shen family's attention was currently focused on Shen Lili and they hadn't had time to deal with that damn rice yet, he ignored the pain in his buttocks and got up to run away.
Old Mrs. Shen immediately shouted, "Sanlang, quick, stop her!"
Just now, her eyes were filled with her unconscious granddaughter, and she almost forgot about the culprit who harmed her granddaughter.
In the past, Aunt Li hadn't done anything substantial to the Shen family, just spouting empty words. She thought the fate of Liu Dashi and Xiao Lishi would serve as a warning, but she didn't expect that not only would Aunt Li not restrain herself, but she would also try to harm Lili!
This time, the Shen family will definitely not let her off easily!
She must pay the price!
Shen Laosan took two steps in three quick steps, grabbed Li Da Niang, and, who was usually gentle and polite to people, he didn't care about rules and etiquette at all. He roughly pulled her back to the Shen family's side.
In order to keep an eye on her, the Shen family members formed a small circle and surrounded Aunt Li in the middle.
Aunt Li was getting anxious. If Shen Lao Er went to call Doctor Sikong, it would surely alert the people nearby.
Moreover, many families haven't finished harvesting their rice today, or their rice is almost ready to be harvested. There's no guarantee that someone like the Shen family will be there tonight to help out.
Aunt Li specifically chose dinner time when she came, but it's been quite a while now, so she's probably about to send someone over!
Ignoring everything, Aunt Li tried to break free from the group's encirclement, but Shen Laosan pushed her back.
"Aunt Li, if you don't cooperate, I might get violent."
Old Man Shen was a scholar, and Aunt Li had never seen him with such a gloomy and terrifying expression before. She was immediately frightened.
Liu glared at Li Da Niang, her face full of anger: "We wouldn't bother with you if you stole a few stalks of rice, but how dare you hurt our Shen family's child? Third brother, I don't think we need to give Li Da Niang any face at all!"
Aunt Li feigned righteousness: "Don't talk nonsense! Which eye of yours saw you? Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"Huh?" Liu laughed angrily. "Go ahead and sue me. You've always been against my mother, and now you're even worse. What, haven't your daughter-in-law and Liu Dashi taught you a lesson?"
Aunt Li was speechless and simply stopped talking. She tried to rush out with all her might, but Shen Laosan grabbed her wrist tightly and swung his fist with his other hand.
While Yang was still crouching down, holding Lili, Shen Laosan said through gritted teeth, "You better pray that my daughter is alright, otherwise, I will do anything to send you to jail for life."
Aunt Li shrank back instantly, her legs going weak with fright.
Before long, Shen Lao Er arrived with Doctor Sikong, followed by Chen Shi, who had brought a small quilt and a dry garment from home.
Old Man Shen waited anxiously at the intersection. When he saw Doctor Sikong in the distance, he went to greet him and led him this way.
Old Mrs. Shen was overjoyed: "Quickly, Physician Sikong, please take a look at how Lili is!"
Doctor Sikong's expression was solemn. Madam Yang quickly made way for him, and Shen Jiahao carried Lili to the roadside so that Doctor Sikong could examine her.
The divine physician first checked Lili's breathing. She was still breathing, and her breathing was... quite even?
The divine physician, Sikong, took Lili's pulse again with suspicion.
This...this doesn't look like someone drowning.
The divine physician Sikong was certain he hadn't misread it. He had been practicing medicine for over fifty years; how could he possibly be wrong about something like this? He wasn't so old and blind as to be that bad.
Just as the divine physician Sikong was about to switch hands to examine her, he felt a light touch on his wrist, as if he had been touched by something.
When Doctor Sikong looked, he saw that it was Lili's little finger that was tickling his wrist with a very slight movement.
Physician Sikong: (oć.ć)o?
The divine physician, Sikong, had a sudden inspiration and subtly glanced up at the children surrounding him.
From this perspective, the position where these children were standing perfectly blocked the view behind them.
The divine physician Sikong paused for a moment, then silently put the drowning pills he had prepared back into his sleeve, replaced them with a qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing pill, and gave it to Lili.
Shen Jiahao asked at just the right moment, "How is it, Doctor Sikong? Is my sister alright?"
Shen Jialu truly lives up to his name, being born of the same mother as Shen Jiahao; they can seamlessly connect on screen even without a script.
"Yes, your medical skills are so superb. Did you just give Lili some kind of magic pill, the kind that will wake her up?"
Doctor Sikong pursed his lips, pondering how to continue the scene in a way that would seem normal, while the "female lead" had already been perfectly "resurrected".
"Cough cough cough..."
Lili coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
"Ah! Lili! You're finally awake!"
"Lili, that's wonderful! I knew Doctor Sikong could save you!"
Lili, barely able to speak, said, "Is that so... cough cough cough, Grandpa Sikong, thank you... cough cough cough, Lili feels so uncomfortable..."
Shen Jiahao helped her up with a pained expression and gently patted her back: "It's okay, Lili, don't be afraid. You just drowned. It must be the pills that Doctor Sikong gave you that are working to drain the water!"
Physician Sikong: "......."
