An auntie next to her asked with a smile, "Auntie Hua, so it was your Erdan who saved Sister Tiankuang just now?"
"Isn't that right? When I got home, I saw him all soaking wet. I thought he had gone fishing in the river, but when I asked him, I found out that he had actually saved Tian Kuang's eldest daughter!" Peanut said to Madam Yu with a smile, "Aunt Tian Kuang, you see, our two families are destined to be together!"
A very bad premonition rose in Yu's heart.
Just now, Guo had scolded Aunt Hua and sent her away halfway down the street. But as soon as she turned around, her second son saved the eldest daughter who had fallen into the water.
At this moment, Zhou, Li, and Guo also rushed over.
When Guo saw her daughter lying half-lying on the ground coughing incessantly, she rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Oh dear, who the hell pushed my daughter into the river? My poor daughter!"
The old woman next to her quickly said, "Third Aunt, you can't say things like that. We all finished washing the clothes and left the riverbank, leaving only your eldest daughter and second daughter. No one else pushed her!"
Guo's eyes then glared at Yun Manwan.
Yun Manyan was so frightened by what Aunt Hua had just said that she turned pale and stared blankly at the dark-skinned young man that Aunt Hua had pushed over.
Of course she knew what that meant.
Yu quickly whispered to Guo, "Third sister-in-law, the second young lady accidentally fell into the river, and the eldest young lady went to pull her up, but she fell in too."
However, facing Aunt Hua, Zhou Shi, who was usually gentle and mild-mannered, immediately shouted, "Aunt Hua, don't talk nonsense and ruin my eldest daughter's reputation!"
Aunt Hua's voice was even louder, "Oh, Tiankuang's mother, you can't turn your back on us! My Erdanzi saved your eldest daughter, you have to admit it whether you want to or not. I told you they were destined to be together, and this time they can't escape it."
Zhou didn't want to argue with her in public and ruin her daughter's reputation, so she helped her daughter up and was about to go back, saying, "Both girls must be terrified. We should go back quickly and call the village doctor to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Guo helped Yun Manyin to her feet and prepared to walk back.
Aunt Hua stopped them, saying, "The person isn't dead, why call a doctor? In my opinion, we should hurry up and arrange the marriage between your eldest daughter and my second son. That's the right thing to do."
Zhou was furious. "What engagement? Can't you see the two children are scared out of their wits?"
"I'm perfectly fine to you, how could you be so easily frightened?" Aunt Hua grabbed Zhou's sleeve, refusing to let go. "I don't care, my Erdanzi saved your eldest daughter, so even if they didn't have physical intimacy, they still have. If your eldest daughter doesn't marry my Erdanzi, who else can she marry?"
Zhou was absolutely furious.
Xiao Youran suddenly spoke up, pointing at the dark-skinned youth and saying to Jiang Youchen, "Brother, I don't think this simpleton could possibly save my older cousin."
Aunt Hua was furious. "Who are you calling a simpleton, you brat?"
Zhou's eyes lit up. "Little Youran, what did you say? Why did you say he couldn't possibly be the one who saved your older cousin?"
Xiao Youran pointed behind the young man and said, "Brother, look at his clothes, they're so strange. The front is wet, but the back is dry."
Jiang Youchen immediately realized, "Auntie, look, only the front of his clothes is wet, but the back is dry. Would anyone go into the water and only the front of their clothes get wet?"
Zhou suddenly realized what was going on, circled the young man, and then sneered at Aunt Hua, "You, Aunt Hua, you think you can get away with this? You've come to plot against my family? This is outrageous!"
Aunt Hua's expression froze for a moment, then she stubbornly said, "It was my Erdanzi who saved him! Who else could it be? Call him out!"
Mrs. Zhou looked down at her daughter, "You really don't know who saved you?"
Yun Manyan shook her head in horror, "I...I didn't see who it was..."
Aunt Hua's expression grew even more arrogant. "The person who saved you is my Erdan. You can't deny it even if you want to!"
Yun Manyan was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
She had heard about Aunt Hua's two sons; they were both somewhat mentally challenged.
He's over twenty and still hasn't found a wife.
She doesn't want to marry such a fool!
Zhou put her arm around her and walked towards the house. "Don't argue with this old woman. We need to go back and change our wet clothes first! The weather is getting colder every day. We can't afford to catch a cold!"
Aunt Hua wasn't annoyed. She just shouted loudly in Zhou's direction, "Mother-in-law, wait for me to send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow!"
Xiao Youran sighed. She finally understood why her older cousin had married this silly brother-in-law, Erdan, in her previous life—it was all because Erdan had such a shrewish mother.
Later, after my eldest cousin returned to the capital, she left her husband, Erdan, behind with a divorce agreement. My eldest cousin went back to her own home and lived in the Duke's mansion, but she still worried about her a lot and helped her openly and secretly many times.
For the sake of this favor, she couldn't just stand by and watch her older cousin become that silly idiot's wife again.
She then turned and stood in front of Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua was taken aback. "What are you doing blocking my way, you little brat?"
Xiao Youran said in a clear voice, "Grandma, I'm just a little girl, but I'm not a liar. You'll be in big trouble if you slander me."
She pointed at Jiang Youchen, "Brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Jiang Youchen finally made his presence known, "Yes, yes, whatever my sister says will come true! Aunt Hua, you're going to be in big trouble for slandering my sister!"
Hmm... I'll just repeat what my sister said from now on!
Aunt Hua laughed as soon as she heard that. "Hey! You two little brats, you dare to curse your old lady? Believe me or not, you'll be the ones who suffer!"
Xiao Youran ignored her, having already made her wish anyway. She turned to the dark-skinned young man and asked with a grin, "Uncle, did you save my older cousin?"
The young man chuckled foolishly, "Yes, yes. My mother said I was the one who saved him."
Aunt Hua laughed triumphantly, "Did everyone hear that? It was my Erdanzi who saved him. I'm telling you, Tiankuang's mother, you can't be ungrateful!"
An old woman nearby pointed and whispered, "Could it really be that her son Erdan saved Tiankuang's eldest daughter?"
"If it's true, then it's not strange for the two families to become related by marriage."
"Yes, since the two have already had physical intimacy, it's not appropriate to bring up any other marriage proposals."
Zhou Shi, supporting Yun Manwan, was trembling with anger. She turned to look at Xiao Youran, preparing to call her back.
But then Xiao Youran asked the young man with a grin, "Uncle, can you swim?"
She had noticed that the young man didn't dare to look into the river once he arrived on this side.
Aunt Hua's face changed drastically upon hearing this.
