Chapter 58 puts together the complete plan of the two people...
"Human emotions are inherently complex, and it is normal for the system to be unpredictable."
Zhou Xian didn't ask any more questions and followed him to the Xinghua Brigade Health Center.
The doctor in the brigade examined Comrade Qiao Caiyun, but she was unconscious, so the doctor did not dare to draw any conclusions.
Instead, he made a bowl of sugar water for Zhou Xian and moved the stove closer to her so that her clothes could be dried.
After drinking a bowl of hot sugar water, Zhou Xian didn't feel so cold anymore. At this time, Qiao Caiyun on the bed slowly woke up.
I looked at myself lying on the bed, still a little dazed.
She remembered that she was in the river, but for some reason, no matter how she struggled, she always felt her body was very heavy in the water, and she kept sinking. She didn't even have the strength to struggle, and could only watch herself sink.
"Caiyun, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Xu Huaishan felt relieved when he saw Qiao Caiyun open her eyes.
Seeing Xu Huaishan, Qiao Caiyun was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Qiao Caiyue who kept blinking at her, and other people in the room.
Among those people, there was only one person she didn't know.
Qiao Caiyun's gaze returned to Qiao Caiyue and hesitantly asked, "Where am I?"
"Health center, cousin, you fell into the river, and it was Officer Zhou from the Women's Federation of the commune who rescued you." Qiao Caiyue said quickly.
While speaking, he pointed at Zhou Xian who was standing beside him, "This is Secretary Zhou."
Xu Huaishan glanced at Qiao Caiyue, then turned to look at Qiao Caiyun, "How did he fall into the river?"
Qiao Caiyun clutched the quilt tightly around herself, her eyes met Qiao Caiyue's, and then they both looked away.
After a while, he finally said, "My feet slipped and I fell accidentally."
Seeing her look, not only Xu Huaishan, a veteran, but even Zhou Xian could see that something was wrong between the cousins.
I’m afraid there’s something else going on with Qiao Caiyun’s case.
The book only said that Qiao Caiyun fell into the water and died, and the marriage fell to her cousin Qiao Caiyue, but it did not describe in detail how she fell into the water.
Zhou Xian thought about the scene that he had seen out of the corner of his eye at that time and hesitated whether to speak.
Xu Huaishan wanted to say something, but then he saw two women rushing in. The first one rushed directly to Qiao Caiyun, with a look of fear on her face, "Silly girl, I heard that you fell into the river? Are you okay? Don't scare your mother."
"Mom, I'm fine now." Qiao Caiyun forced a smile at the woman.
Cai Guixiang was so reassured that she almost fainted when she heard the news. It was her sister-in-law who helped her over.
Wang Cuilan saw Qiao Caiyun lying on the bed, turned around and pinched her daughter's arm, "Your sister had such a big incident, and you didn't even tell your family."
The family knew the news only after someone saw them coming over and went to contact the Qiao family.
Qiao Caiyue glanced at Qiao Caiyun lying on the bed. She was so guilty that she didn't dare to say anything and just lowered her head.
Cai Guixiang asked the barefoot doctor from the Xinghua Brigade for a long time and only felt relieved when she found out that her daughter was fine.
However, she still asked the doctor to give her daughter some brown sugar, saying that she should take him home to nourish her, and then she prepared to take Qiao Caiyun home.
Cai Guixiang supported her daughter, and Wang Cuilan turned her head and glared at her daughter Qiao Caiyue.
"Mom, Second Aunt, I'm really fine now. This time, it's all thanks to this Women's Federation officer who saved me."
Thinking about how she almost died, Qiao Caiyun felt a little scared. I really don't want to experience that suffocating feeling a second time.
"Comrade, thank you so much for saving my daughter. I only have this one daughter. If she were gone, I would not be able to live either." Cai Guixiang grabbed Zhou Xian's hand with a look of gratitude on her face.
"You're so polite. It's just a small favor."
Mainly it wasn't her who saved the person, she just clicked the button and was responsible for signing the person in.
However, other people did not know about these things and firmly believed that it was Zhou Xian who saved the person and even took the person home for dinner.
Zhou Xian declined, but Cai Guixiang couldn't resist her enthusiasm and took her home, saying that she had to have a meal before going back.
As the future son-in-law, Captain Xu Huaishan naturally had to go as well.
When Zhou Xian arrived at Qiao's house, he found out that the team leader Xu Huaishan lived next door to the Qiao family and the two families were neighbors.
When Cai Guixiang was taking care of Zhou Xian, she did not forget to bring Xu Huaishan with her.
Although she is the captain, she is also Captain Xu's future mother-in-law.
Zhou Xian stayed at the Qiao family for a while and learned some information about the family. Qiao Caiyun also had a twin brother, who was also shocked when he heard that his sister fell into the water and almost died.
"Why did he fall into the water for no reason?"
"I just slipped." Qiao Caiyun said with his head down.
Brother Qiao wanted to ask more, but was slapped on the back by his father. "Okay, your sister is fine for a few days, why are you making a fuss?"
Xu Huaishan also asked Qiao Caiyun about falling into the water, and she just lowered her head and said that she slipped and fell.
Cai Guixiang said anxiously, "Don't go to the riverside unless necessary in the future. Fortunately, Secretary Zhou helped us this time. If something happened to you, Mom would not be able to live."
"I was just passing by, Mom, please don't be like this." Qiao Caiyun looked at Cai Guifen with red eyes.
She felt very regretful and didn't expect that it would turn out like this and make her parents worry.
While speaking, Qiao Caiyun and Qiao Caiyue looked at each other, and finally they both lowered their heads.
How could Cai Guixiang not see the problem, but she didn't dare to ask any further in front of Zhou Xian and Xu Huaishan. She planned to wait until they left before asking her daughter what had happened.
Qiao Caiyun's words were full of loopholes. Zhou Xian heard the problem, and Xu Huaishan beside him also frowned.
However, neither of them asked any further questions, but changed the subject.
"Secretary Zhou, Captain, have some candy." Cai Guixiang grabbed a piece of fruit candy and was about to stuff it into Zhou Xian's hand, while also calling Xu Huaishan.
Neither of them answered, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
It was Xu Huaishan who spoke first, "Director Zhou, how is the plastic greenhouse of your Taohua Brigade going?"
"We'll have to wait until the vegetables grow to know the details." Zhou Xian was not surprised that Xu Huaishan brought up the topic of plastic greenhouses.
As for the several brigades she has visited in the past few days, there are also brigade cadres who will ask about it.
The two talked a lot about the topic of plastic greenhouses. Qiao Caiyun sat there quietly, and Qiao Caiyue sat next to her, and neither of them spoke.
Cai Guifen poured some brown sugar water for Zhou Xian and the others, sat beside them, and asked them a few questions from time to time.
I have never heard of that plastic greenhouse before. It feels quite fresh to be able to eat summer vegetables in the middle of winter.
After knowing this, I became even more interested, "Can our Xinghua Brigade build such a greenhouse?"
"If our Taohua Brigade's plastic greenhouses are successful in growing greenhouse vegetables, I believe Secretary He will promote it to other production brigades."
"Then those who are in a good relationship can have a bite of fresh food in the middle of winter."
Seeing that the topic was completely changed, Qiao Caiyun and Qiao Caiyue beside them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After dinner, when Zhou Xian left, he put the money and food coupons under the thermos.
After seeing Zhou Xian and Xu Huaishan off, Cai Guixiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and dragged Qiao Caiyun into the house. After giving her a lecture, she realized that she didn't fall into the water because of a slip.
She actually jumped down by herself.
Qiao Caiyun huddled in a corner, sobbing, "I just wanted to test whether Xu Huaishan really liked me. I had already told Caiyue that she would call for help. I also specially chose a place with shallow water, but who knew that as soon as I jumped in, I would sink."
If she hadn't been rescued, she would have been in real trouble.
Cai Guixiang felt dizzy after hearing this.
"Mom, mom, are you okay?"
Qiao Caiyun even saw Cai Guixiang staggering, so she quickly stepped forward to support her.
"I'm fine." Cai Guixiang sat on the bed and waved at Qiao Caiyun.
It took him a while to recover, but he couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead.
"Why are you so confused?"
According to her daughter, if Director Zhou hadn't rescued her, by the time Xu Huaishan came to rescue her, she would have died long ago.
On the other side, Qiao Caiyue also told the truth under her mother's stick, and was finally pulled by the ear and reunited with Qiao Caiyun.
Cai Guixiang and her sister-in-law looked at each other and began to interrogate.
Piece together the entire process of the two people's conspiracy.
The reason was that Qiao Caiyun felt that her fiancé Xu Huaishan was particularly cold to her and did not care as much about the other members of the brigade.
Qiao Caiyue said, why not try his attitude?
The two of them hit it off and came up with the idea of jumping into the river. Qiao Caiyun jumped into the river, and Qiao Caiyue was responsible for calling Xu Huaishan over to rescue him.
Everything had been discussed well, but something went wrong. Someone in the team lost their chicken, so the members found Xu Huaishan, who then helped to look for it, delaying the originally agreed time.
Qiao Caiyue didn't dare to shout about this kind of thing, so she could only help to look for the lost chicken. After finding it, she took Xu Huaishan over there. On the way there, she kept praying in her heart, asking her cousin not to jump into the river first.
It’s hard to say whether God heard her prayers, but her cousin definitely didn’t hear her prayers. When she got there, her cousin had already jumped down and was fished out by someone. Qiao Caiyue was scared to death at that time.
She didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be if her cousin was not rescued and she went too late.
Cai Guixiang didn't expect them to be so outrageous. She pointed at them for a long time and only said, "Who came up with this idea?"
"It's me." Qiao Caiyun said.
She originally planned to hang herself, but it was not convenient at home. She was afraid of snakes and did not dare to go into the mountains, so she thought of jumping into the river.
Cai Guixiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up a feather duster beside her and hit Qiao Caiyun.
"You damn girl, I think you really don't want to live. How can you be so powerful that you even jump into the river? Why do you torture yourself to test a man's heart? If anything happens to you, what will your father and I do?"
Qiao Caiyun had never seen her mother so angry before. Even her father couldn't stop her. She got beaten up but didn't dare to cry.
Especially when she saw her mother beating her and crying even louder than her, Qiao Caiyun was frightened and bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to cry out in pain.
"Is Auntie here?"
Hearing Xu Huaishan's voice, Cai Guixiang paused, glared at her daughter, wiped her tears, threw away the feather duster, and went out.
"The captain is here." When she stepped out of the door, Cai Guixiang had already put on a smiling face.
Xu Huaishan handed over the food in his hand, "Auntie, take this."
Cai Guifen didn't refuse, after all, it wasn't the first time this happened. After Xu Huaishan had his meal here, he would bring his own rations over. At first she refused to accept them, but Xu Huaishan was stubborn and would not stop until she accepted them.
She wanted to ask Xu Huaishan if he had heard anything, but Xu Huaishan had already turned and left, so she could only sigh.
However, when her husband was drinking water, he found money and food coupons under the thermos. It was just that Secretary Zhou poured the water over and drank it.
The Qiao family felt the money was hot when they held it, after all, this matter was caused by their daughter.
Qiao Caiyue wasn't much better off. Although she wasn't beaten openly by her own mother, she was still rubbing her arms and gasping for breath when she went out the next day.
The Qiao family must not make this matter known to anyone, otherwise they would be extremely embarrassed.
Some people who didn't know advised Cai Guixiang, "Sister-in-law, Caiyun didn't want to fall into the water. It's a good thing that the child is fine. Don't hurt the child again."
The person who saved her was a female cadre from the Women's Federation of the commune, and the person who brought Qiao Caiyun back was her fiancé. Naturally, there were no rumors in the Xinghua Brigade.
Some people felt that Qiao Caiyun was lucky to be rescued by a female cadre. If she had been rescued by a man, who knows what would have happened.
After being beaten, Qiao Caiyun finally came to his senses. When he heard the discussions of the other members, his face turned pale.
Even if she didn't sink into the river, if she was saved by some other man instead of Director Zhou, it would be impossible for her to test Xu Huaishan's heart, let alone marry him.
Qiao Caiyun realized how stupid her idea was. She was so scared that she hid at home and didn't dare to go out for several days.
Qiao Caiyue was not much better off. The two sisters stayed at home for a few days before going out.
