Chapter 25 Being pushed into the water

After the new house was built, the educated youth moved in. Tang Xiaotian and Li Mei had not moved out yet. They

were used to living in Grandma Zhou's house, and they didn't want to move out.

The weather is hot now. After work, they take a hot shower and go out to enjoy the breeze. It's very cool. Shen Jiale uses a sheet to separate the middle, so they can have privacy.

If they go back to the educated youth institute, everyone will live in the same room, and they will be exposed to others' attention when taking a shower.

Shen Jiale is still better. He has his own single room and an independent kitchen.

It's a pity that I don't have this condition, I can only envy.

In one week, the rent of Grandma Zhou's house will expire, and the two are very reluctant to leave.

Shen Jiale didn't say much. With their current situation, even if they share it for a year, each person only needs 5 yuan, which they can't afford.

Tang Xiaotian asked Shen Jiale why they had to build a house when it was obviously more cost-effective to rent one. They would all leave in the future and couldn't take

the house with them when they returned to the city. Of course, Shen Jiale couldn't tell the truth. He just said that the date of his return to the city was not yet determined. If the time was long, he would have a house of his own and live comfortably.

Tang Xiaotian secretly encouraged herself and decided to work hard to earn work points. Even if she couldn't afford to build a new house, she could at least rent one.

...

The weather in May was already hot.

After work, Shen Jiale, Tang Xiaotian and Li Mei went to the river to wash clothes.

The three of them talked and laughed while washing the clothes in their hands.

Wang Yanhong came over and said to Li Mei, "Go over there a little. I want to wash clothes here."

Li Mei had already washed the clothes in her hands, so she made room.

"Jia Le, when are you going to move in? Jiang Haoran and I will go to help you then." Wang Yanhong took the initiative to talk to Shen Jiale.

Shen Jiale continued to wash the clothes in his hands as if he didn't hear her.

Tang Xiaotian had also washed the clothes in her hands and was waiting for Shen Jiale to go back together.

Shen Jiale wrung out the clothes, stood up, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Wang Yanhong slipped and fell on Shen Jiale.

Shen Jiale felt someone push his back hard and fell into the river.

Tang Xiaotian saw Shen Jiale fall into the water and hurried down to save him.

Wang Yanhong stopped her and said, "Can you swim? It's very slippery here, go find a stick."

Tang Xiaotian immediately ran over to find a stick, but before she could get down, the stick was snatched away by Wang Yanhong.

"I'll save people first, you go and call for help!"

Tang Xiaotian couldn't swim, and was worried that she couldn't save people, so she went to the shore to call for help.

Li Mei went down to help, but was pushed away by Wang Yanhong, fell to the ground, and told her not to make trouble.

There were many people on the road, and they all ran to the river when they heard the noise. Jiang Haoran ran in front.

When he reached the river, Jiang Haoran took off his shoes and prepared to jump in.

With a splash, someone jumped into the water faster than Jiang Haoran.

Shen Jiale was rescued by Lu Mingfeng.

Lu Mingfeng carried the person up and kicked Wang Yanhong into the river.

Jiang Haoran came over, not caring about Wang Yanhong, and stretched out his hand to Lu Mingfeng and said, "Leave her to me, I'll take her back."

Summer clothes are very thin, and Shen Jiale's clothes stuck to her body as soon as she was carried out of the water.

Although Shen Jiale is small, she has a well-proportioned figure. People watching the excitement by the river stared at her.

After getting on the shore, Shen Jiale hid behind Lu Mingfeng and tried her best to use his body to block herself.

However, more and more people came, and Lu Mingfeng also noticed Shen Jiale's embarrassment. He said to Shen Jiale, "I'm sorry." Then he picked up Shen Jiale and ran away.

Wang Yanhong had been pulled up by the villagers, and Jiang Haoran didn't even look at her.

...

When Grandma Zhou saw Shen Jiale running back, soaking wet, in Lu Mingfeng's arms, she hurriedly asked what happened.

After learning that she had fallen into the river, Grandma Zhou took a dry towel and asked Shen Jiale to go into the house to change clothes.

"The water by the river isn't deep, how come even her hair got wet?" Grandma Zhou asked.

Lu Mingfeng told Grandma Zhou what had happened.

At the time, Lu Mingfeng had been watching Shen Jiale washing clothes not far away, and he also saw Wang Yanhong pushing Shen Jiale into the river, but the distance was a bit far. When he rushed over, Shen Jiale had been pushed away by Wang Yanhong with a stick.

Just as Grandma Zhou said, the water by the river was indeed not deep.

After being pushed into the water, Shen Jiale struggled to climb ashore by herself, but Wang Yanhong didn't give her the chance and pushed her into the middle of the river with a stick.

She couldn't swim to begin with, and after being choked by water, she panicked.

Fortunately, she was rescued by Lu Mingfeng.

There were so many people by the river, it was impossible for her to drown. Wang Yanhong pushed her into the river so brazenly, wasn't she afraid that she would retaliate?

When Shen Jiale was changing clothes, Jiang Haoran, Wang Yanhong, Tang Xiaotian, Li Mei, and many villagers who were watching the excitement came over.

Wang Yanhong cried and apologized at the door: "I'm sorry, Jiale, it's all my fault. If I hadn't slipped, you wouldn't have fallen into the water. I wanted to save you, but I was too panicked and pushed you further and further away. It's all my fault. I deserve to die. You hit me and scold me, I admit it, but you must not hate me, we used to be best friends."

Shen Jiale changed his clothes and came out to see Wang Yanhong soaking wet, crying bitterly, and admitted his mistakes.

If I get angry at this time, it will seem inhuman.

After experiencing deception and betrayal in his previous life, Shen Jiale no longer cares about the process, but only the result.

Today, if I argue with Wang Yanhong here, it will only make things worse. Anyway, no one is killed, and everyone will have the mentality of making a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing.

If she cares, it's unreasonable.

So Shen Jiale said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do. I have to go to work soon. Let's go home."

Wang Yanhong didn't expect Shen Jiale to be so calm. Her original intention was to irritate Shen Jiale and make a big fuss about this matter, just like last time, so that Shen Jiale would lose all face and then ruin his reputation.

Jiang Haoran was a little confused when he saw that things did not develop in the expected direction, but as long as Shen Jiale fell into the water, it would be fine.

He pretended to be concerned and walked in front of Shen Jiale and said, "Jiale, don't worry. Although you fell into the water and were seen by others, fortunately not many people saw it. I will find them one by one and ask them not to tell others. Don't worry about your reputation."

Shen Jiale realized that he was waiting for him here.

So she said, "So many people came at that time, we can't stop everyone from talking."

Jiang Haoran said sincerely, "Don't worry, if I can't quell the rumors, I will be responsible for you and will never let you be criticized."

Grandma Zhou pointed at Jiang Haoran and said, "She just fell into the river. Who do you think the people in our village are? Would they slander Shen Zhiqing because of this? If you say so, on rainy days, if the women in the village get their clothes wet, will their reputations be ruined?"

Jiang Haoran quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Jiale's clothes were not only wet, but she was also hugged by a man and had physical contact with him."

"Things have different priorities. Mingfeng did this to get Shen Zhiqing to change clothes quickly, but you twisted it and made him the bad guy.

If someone's girl falls into the water in the future and cannot let others touch her body, will you just let her drown in the river?

Besides, you didn't save her, and you didn't touch Shen Zhiqing's body. You just took a look at the girl wearing wet clothes. It's not your turn to be responsible."

Then she pointed at Wang Yanhong and said, "Wang Zhiqing's clothes were also wet, why didn't you say you were responsible for her?" After

saying this, Grandma Zhou led Lu Mingfeng into the house and found his grandson's clothes for him to change.

Shen Jiale, Tang Xiaotian, and Li Mei also entered the house.

Wang Yanhong and Jiang Haoran were left outside, being pointed at and criticized.
