"Did Yu Honglan give you money? I bet it wasn't more than fifty."
"You're worthless. You're only worth fifty to provoke me. After this is done, Yu Honglan will marry into the Lu family in my place and enjoy a life of luxury. I'll make a fortune."
The bald-headed man was embarrassed to say that he had originally promised thirty, but in the end only gave twenty, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with Yu Honglan.
Yu Yao continued, "You were the one who got hit, and you did the heinous things. Yu Honglan, the culprit, got away scot-free and only benefited."
"You're the only one who got beaten black and blue. Tell me, isn't that unfair?"
Lai Pitou's eyes were filled with tears.
It's such a misunderstanding, so incredibly unfair.
"If I were Yu Honglan, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. This deal is so profitable. Where else can you find such an easy sucker?"
The bald man's eyes kept darting around.
He already harbored resentment towards Yu Honglan, and now that Yu Yao had said that, he felt increasingly cheated.
We've lost a fortune.
If it weren't for that bitch Yu Honglan, he would be living a perfectly good life, stealing chickens and gambling every day.
They wouldn't provoke Yu Yao, that wicked star, and they wouldn't be beaten so badly they couldn't even open their eyes.
Seeing that the bald-headed man was interested, Yu Yao stopped there.
Going too far would be too deliberate.
Yu Honglan, you want to ruin my reputation? Let your dogs fight each other first.
Just wait, the real show is just beginning.
At the same time, Yu Yao felt an unusual burning sensation rising from her lower abdomen.
Like a wildfire spreading across the whole body, my hands and feet began to feel weak.
The medication has taken effect; we can't delay any longer.
Yu Yao ignored the bald-headed man and left the thatched house, running towards the east side of the back mountain.
In the original owner's memory, the only river in Baihe Brigade was the Baihe River, which was located one mile east of here.
The Baihe River is spring water, and even in the height of summer, it is icy cold, which can alleviate the effects of the medicine in her body.
However, the medicinal properties were unexpectedly strong.
Yu Yao had only run half the distance when she found that her limbs were becoming increasingly weak and her head was dizzy.
Beside the Baihe Bridge.
An elderly woman wearing a homespun jacket was seeing off two tall men in green military uniforms.
"Commander Lu, Comrade Song, we owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what would have happened to my husband's leg. Here are some steamed buns, flatbreads, and mushroom sauce. Take them with you on the road."
"Aunt Ge, we appreciate your kindness, but please keep these things for Uncle Qin to recover from his injuries."
"The jeep is parked up ahead, you can drop me off here," said Lu Ze, the man in the lead.
"Yes, ma'am, Political Commissar Qin is a close friend of our regimental commander since military school. They have a life-or-death bond. How could we accept your gifts?"
Song Yiming said with a smile, carrying his bag.
Aunt Ge was straightforward and didn't like being coy; she simply stuffed the things into their arms.
"Qin Ye is Qin Ye, we can thank him, there's no conflict. If you don't accept this, I'm not leaving."
Song Yiming was in a dilemma and looked at Lu Ze, "What should we do, Commander?"
Since Aunt Ge had already gone to such lengths, Lu Ze didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gifts, saying, "Then thank you, Aunt Ge."
Song Yiming laughed, "To be honest, Auntie, your mushroom sauce is absolutely delicious. Every time Political Commissar Qin brings out the mushroom sauce, I can eat two extra bowls of rice."
After exchanging a few more words, before parting, Lu Ze took out the grain coupons he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed them over.
“Aunt Ge, here are some national grain coupons and meat coupons that I got through some connections. Uncle will be staying at the hospital in Xi Province for a while, so don’t just eat the dry food he brought. Buy him something nutritious.”
"This old lady won't stand on ceremony with you. These days, you can't buy food in other places without national food coupons. Consider this a loan. Qin Ye will give it to you when you get back to the island."
After settling her husband in, Aunt Ge planned to call her son, who was on a mission on the island, and tell him to thank Commander Lu properly.
I heard that Commander Lu is already twenty-seven and still doesn't have a girlfriend.
The leader's personal problems are also within his son's work scope. How can he be a political commissar? He doesn't seem to care at all.
Lu Ze straightened his military cap, revealing a clear jawline, a superior nose, and striking eyebrows and eyes—a truly handsome face.
Aunt Ge liked her very much. She was beautiful, her family members all worked in Guangdong Province, and she was a young regimental commander with a promising future.
Unfortunately, she only had one son and no daughter.
Just as she was feeling regretful, Aunt Ge caught a glimpse of a blue figure leaping into the Baihe River at lightning speed, and her expression changed drastically.
"Commander Lu, someone has jumped into the river!"
Song Yiming was extremely anxious. "Commander, what should we do? I can't swim."
"I'm going to rescue them, you guys follow."
After Lu Ze finished speaking, he took off his military cap and threw it to Song Yiming. While running, he took off his coat, jumped into the river, and quickly swam towards Yu Yao.
After Lu Ze went into the river, he quickly discovered that the water was only up to his chest, but shallow water does not mean that people can't drown.
Especially since the woman who jumped into the river had her back to him, all he could see was her long, black hair bobbing on the water's surface.
Like a female ghost who drowned in the river, the situation is uncertain.
He quickly walked towards Yu Yao's location, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Comrade, are you alright?"
Yu Yao was suddenly pulled, lost her balance, and slid backward into Lu Ze's arms.
Having never liked people getting close, Lu Ze instinctively took a step back.
Yu Yao was caught off guard and fell into the water. She thrashed about frantically and swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
Seeing this, Lu Ze quickly scooped Yu Yao up, and only let go after making sure she was steady. "Comrade, are you alright?"
Yu Yao grabbed his arm and coughed violently several times before finally catching her breath.
Her already confused mind became even more confused, and upon hearing that deep voice, she almost instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
