At the riverbank at the village entrance, Zhou Lina finally saw that tall figure. She immediately started washing clothes as if she were doing it right. Just as Qian Mao was about to get close, her foot slipped and she fell into the river. She immediately struggled and cried out, "Help! Help! Help!"
Qian Mao glanced at the struggling figure in the river and immediately shouted, "Someone has fallen into the water!" He then ran towards the village, shouting as he ran, "Zhou Zhiqing has fallen into the water! Zhou Zhiqing has fallen into the water!"
Zhou Lina was dumbfounded. How could this be different from what she had imagined? As a state cadre, shouldn't he be bravely rescuing people from dire straits? Why did he run away?
While she was still in a daze, she heard a splash and someone jumped into the river. Then Zhou Lina felt someone hug her. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard someone shout, "What's wrong? Someone fell into the water?"
Then a lot of people came running to the shore, men, women, young and old. Not only was there a bunch of old ladies led by Grandma Hu, but also other villagers who had been attracted by Qian Mao's shouts.
Liu Sanzhu pulled Zhou Lina out of the river. Zhou Lina had already closed her eyes; she didn't want to face this situation.
Grandma Hu looked at Zhou Lina and said, "Oh, she's fainted?"
People around him started talking all at once: "Did he choke on water? I think so."
"What's wrong with him? Why did he jump into the water?"
"Liu Sanzhu saved someone, he's really lucky!"
"Isn't it said that the only way to repay a life-saving grace is to offer oneself in marriage? That's what they say in plays!"
"Haha, you bet! Liu Sanzhu really struck it rich this time!"
"Of course! She's already been hugged, and Zhou Zhiqing has been touched all over. How could she possibly marry someone else?"
"Oh dear, Zhou Zhiqing has fainted and hasn't woken up yet. I hope nothing bad happens to him!"
"Yes, but how can we wake them up?"
Zhou Lina felt frustrated listening to the people around her. She wanted to repay them with her body, but the person was Qian Mao, not Liu Sanzhu. However, she didn't want to face these villagers, so she could only close her eyes and pretend to faint.
Qian Duoduo looked at Zhou Lina's appearance, her trembling eyelashes fluttering as she smiled. She said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay if she's fainted. Just give her some breathing and she'll wake up!"
Liu Sanzhu looked at Qian Duoduo, who smiled at him and raised his chin.
Liu Sanzhu understood immediately and lowered his head, blowing a breath into Zhou Lina's mouth.
People around immediately exclaimed, "Wow, Liu Sanzhu has really struck it rich this time!"
“This week, the educated youth were touched and kissed by him.”
"It seems the Liu family is going to have a happy occasion."
Zhou Lina opened her mouth in surprise, then smelled a foul odor. How long had it been since she brushed her teeth? Then something soft went into her mouth, swirled around inside, and left. This made Zhou Lina feel nauseous and start to vomit.
She reacted, and when these people saw this, they started saying, "It seems this breath-transferring technique really works."
“Look, Zhou, the educated youth, has woken up.”
"Liu Sanzhu, congratulations!"
Liu Sanzhu said with a smile, "Oh dear, I was just passing by when I heard someone shouting that someone had fallen into the river, so I rushed over to save them."
Zhou Lina opened her eyes and saw Liu Sanzhu with a face full of pockmarks. She felt disgusted and started gagging again.
Liu Sanzhu carefully helped her up and said, "Zhou Zhiqing, it's still chilly outside. You should put on a coat and go back inside."
Zhou Lina was helped up by Liu Sanzhu, and she immediately shrank to the side, hoping that it was Qian Mao who saved her, not this pockmarked man.
Liu Sanzhu said, "Zhou Zhiqing, you should go back quickly! Don't catch a cold!" He didn't say a single harsh word, and kept asking about Zhou Lina's health.
But Zhou Lina didn't want to hear a word. She didn't even see whose clothes she was wearing. She staggered toward the educated youth compound.
Seeing that Zhou Lina had left, everyone smiled at Liu Sanzhu and then dispersed!
Liu Sanzhu returned to his neighborhood with a smile and saw Qian Mao waiting by the roadside. He walked over and kept a distance from Qian Mao as they walked one in front of the other.
Qian Mao walked ahead and said, "Thank you for today."
Liu Sanzhu laughed and said, "Third brother, this is a good thing. You know, it's very difficult for someone like me to find a wife. Now that I have this opportunity, hehe, isn't that great!"
Qian Mao nodded and said, "I'll give you a big gift when you get married!"
Liu Sanzhu: "That's great!" You know, Qian Laosan is a very important figure in Beian Village. If it weren't for Qian Duoduo calling him, he wouldn't have gotten this benefit today.
Although this Zhou Zhiqing was a bit thin and didn't look very fleshy, he still had the right amount of curves. Besides, all women are pretty much the same. Once it gets dark, whether they're pretty or not, as long as they're useful, he doesn't care!
After Qian Mao returned home, he took advantage of his parents' inattention and found Qian Duoduo: "Duoduo, how do you know about Zhou Zhiqing?"
Qian Duoduo, looking quite gossipy, pointed to the stool next to the desk. Seeing Qian Mao sit down, she said, "This happened a while ago. Before I started school, I used to go to Sister Niaoniao's place to study. Once, Sister Liu Yuan told me that someone was eyeing you."
Besides those from our village, there were also educated youth, and Zhou Lina was one of them. Moreover, she didn't have a very good reputation among the educated youth.
I think she's a total "brother-supporting demon" (someone who prioritizes their brother's needs above all else). You can't get involved with someone like that. After all, you work for the county government now. If your future in-laws can't help you, they shouldn't hold you back either!
