Chapter 49 This is a miracle!
As Shen Zhuoli was quickly pulled onto the boat, he struggled desperately, his face covered in tears. He wanted to untie the ropes to save his mother.
He couldn't bear to watch his mother suffer for him. "Mom—, let me down, let me down, I need to save my mother..."
There were skilled swimmers on the large ship who jumped in to save people, and Uncle Wang ordered his men to quickly pull the irrational Shen Zhuoli aboard.
Shen Zhuoli boarded the ship and was about to jump off the rope when Uncle Wang slapped him onto the deck and shouted in a choked voice.
"Kid, what good will you do if you go down there? Are you trying to die with us because you can't swim? Your mother gave her life to save you, and you don't appreciate it at all? Are you even human?"
Shen Zhuoli was speechless when asked the question, and a wave of regret surged up and quickly engulfed him.
Yes, it's his fault, everything is his fault.
He overestimated himself; he was too eager to prove his abilities.
He never expected this to happen. He never thought of his mother dying in his place. He never imagined that an impulsive decision would have such serious consequences.
He regretted it, he really regretted it...
Shen Zhuoli slowly sat up, silently tied a safety rope around his waist, and slowly but firmly climbed toward the side of the boat.
From now on, he will not show off or cause trouble; he only wants to see someone rescue his mother.
He just wanted a miracle to happen.
Everyone on the ship felt bad as they watched Shen Zhuoli's desolate figure disappear into the distance.
Fishermen are born to rely on the sea and the weather for their livelihood, and everyone knows that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Many people are willing to risk their lives to fight against storms, but often, a single wrong decision can cost many their lives.
Despite their extensive experience and open-mindedness, they were still deeply impressed by Jiang Ruzhen's selfless act of saving the child.
Everyone is praying for a miracle.
Strangely enough, ever since Jiang Ruzhen was sucked into the sea, the dark clouds above her head have gradually dissipated.
The wind and waves gradually subsided, and all the fishermen on the Wang family's fishing boat emerged from the water, shouting to the people on board.
"Captain, I can't see anyone!"
"It's so strange. We've searched the entire bottom of the water nearby, but we haven't seen a single person."
Uncle Wang's pained expression froze, then turned to shock.
"Impossible, how could this be? Even if it's shredded... there should still be some remains, right?"
Just when everyone was completely baffled, Lu Mingzheng emerged from the water on the other side of the small boat, carrying the unconscious Jiang Ruzhen.
"Here, we're here, Jiang Ruzhen is still alive..."
What?
Is Jiang Ruzhen still alive?
Hearing the shouts, everyone on the large ship craned their necks and stood on tiptoe to look in this direction.
How did this person get from one side of the big ship to the other side of the small ship?
This is simply a miracle!
Ignoring the cheers of the people on the large ship, Lu Mingzheng helped Jiang Ruzhen climb onto the ship and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"go back."
Upon hearing Lu Mingzheng's cold command, the ship owner immediately and conscientiously carried it out.
The small boat was fast, and with the help of the wind and waves, it returned to the shore in just over half an hour.
As soon as the children saw Lu Mingzheng carrying their mother ashore, they all swarmed around him.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
What's wrong with my mom?
"Move aside, I'm taking her to the hospital."
Lu Mingzheng didn't explain to the children. With a cold face, he quickly carried Jiang Ruzhen into the car, and the car sped away.
"Where's my older brother? Where's my older brother?"
The children were running around aimlessly like headless ropes when the kind boat owner told them what had just happened.
The children were immediately terrified, their hands and feet turned ice-cold, and they broke out in a cold sweat.
The second brother immediately decided to leave the fourth brother behind to look after the eldest brother, and he took Xin Xin and rode the family bicycle straight to the hospital in the city.
After a thorough examination by the doctor, it was found that Jiang Ruzhen was not seriously injured; she had only experienced temporary shock due to holding her breath for too long.
After the doctors left, Lu Mingzheng, soaking wet, sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at Jiang Ruzhen.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Since you're awake, stop pretending."
Jiang Ruzhen rolled her eyes under her eyelids, then quietly opened her eyes a crack. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that only Lu Mingzheng was there.
"Um... thank you for saving me!"
Jiang Ruzhen was touched that Lu Mingzheng would jump into the water to save her without hesitation in such extreme weather.
"You still owe me money, do you want to end it all by dying? Don't even dream about it."
Jiang Ruzhen was speechless; she really couldn't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth.
She shouldn't have felt any emotion of being moved by this scumbag.
"Why are you on the other side of the boat? I went through so much trouble to find you," Lu Mingzheng asked abruptly.
"Uh...maybe there was an undercurrent at the time."
"Why didn't I encounter any undercurrents when I went down?"
"You're so despicable, even the undercurrents avoid you."
"So you mean you're lucky?"
"Yes, I'm lucky. I'm lucky to have encountered such a once-in-a-century undercurrent. What? Are you jealous? What are you going to do about it?"
Lu Mingzheng's eyes seemed to see right through her, as if he could see through all her secrets.
When Jiang Ruzhen realized she couldn't fool them, she started to act shamelessly.
"mom--"
The second brother led Shen Shuxin in, looking travel-worn. Jiang Ruzhen had never heard the second brother's voice sound so pleasant.
She quickly sat up and hugged her second child and Xin Xin tightly, "Second child, Xin Xin, Mommy almost didn't see you again!"
The mother and her two children embraced and wept bitterly, but before the second child could enjoy his mother's love for long, the fourth and eldest children arrived.
The fourth child opened his arms and rushed over from afar, crying, wanting to join this loving family.
But Jiang Ruzhen slapped her aside. She didn't even put on her shoes and ran barefoot towards the boss angrily.
As soon as she got closer, the eldest son called out "Mom" with tears in his eyes, and Jiang Ruzhen raised her big hand and slapped him hard.
“I am not your mother, and I do not have an unfilial son like you.”
My eldest son is well-behaved and obedient. I've never had to worry about him since he was little. He's responsible and knows what he should and shouldn't do.
Who are you? Are you the demon who took over the eldest brother's body? Give me back my child...
Jiang Ruzhen howled and cursed as her men continued to hack and smear at Shen Zhuoli.
Shen Zhuoli felt he was in the wrong, so he stood still and endured it.
"Tell me, why did you go out to sea?" Jiang Ruzhen asked, catching her breath after hitting him.
"I... Zhang Meili's father owes five hundred yuan in gambling debts. She said that her whole family has managed to raise three hundred yuan, and they are only two hundred short."
She came to me for help, saying that if I gave her two hundred yuan, we would be even and she would never come looking for me again.
I think she's really desperate. If she can't raise enough money, her father will use her to pay off his debts.
Those debt collectors threatened her, saying they would sell her to the mountains, to a family where several brothers couldn't find wives. I...I..."
"You actually felt sorry for her? You're going to gamble your life at sea?" Jiang Ruzhen was so angry that she was panting. She should have known that Zhang Meili would never let this go.
Unexpectedly, she had this kind of plan: if she couldn't get any money out of her, she wanted the eldest brother to work for her for free forever to support her whole family.
What's most infuriating is that the eldest brother actually believed it.
"Big brother, you actually believe what that bitch Zhang Meili says?" The second brother thought his big brother's brain must have been eaten by Zhang Meili.
"Brother, if you need money, you can ask the family for it. Why risk your life?" The fourth brother didn't quite understand his brother's thought process either.
