Chapter 248: Falling into the water one after another, rumors

Although Su Zhi didn't like Niu Xianhua, she saw a person falling into the water right in front of her, and she was anxious to save him, so she didn't care about anything else. She just remembered that she could swim, so she wanted to go down to save him, but she was pulled from behind, and then she saw a person in a green shirt rushing down.

The man in the green shirt was Shen Ziju. Su Zhi could tell at a glance. She wondered why Shen Ziju came here. Shouldn't he be at home with his future father-in-law and his family? But this thought only flashed through her mind, and she was anxious to see what was happening below.

The reason why Shen Ziju was here was because he was bored staying at home and was not satisfied with the Xiao family's marriage. So when he was with the Xiao family, he felt like there was weed growing in his heart and he always had a sense of irritability. Even though he was well-educated and polite on the surface, he didn't want to talk much.

Finally, Shen Ziju found an excuse and came out. He just wanted to relax, and he usually relaxed by the river. However, he didn't expect to see such a thrilling scene today.

Shen Ziju was shocked when he saw Niu Xianhua fall into the river. When he saw Su Zhi actually wanted to rush down, he hurried over and grabbed her.

It was really a surprise to hear that Shen Ziju didn't mean to go down and save Niu Xianhua. He just used too much strength when pulling Su Zhi. He didn't stop after pulling Su Zhi, but took a few steps forward. There was a river slope below, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to, so he just dived into the river.

"Ah, Shen Ziju is really a courageous man!"

Su Zhi watched Shen Ziju rush into the river. She thought to herself that she had always believed that Shen Ziju was a scholar who only knew how to study. She also felt that although this person was not that bad, he was willing to show his good side sometimes. But he was a little selfish in his bones. Su Zhi felt that when it came to his life, Shen Ziju would jump in. He might love his life more, but she didn't expect that she was wrong. Shen Ziju actually jumped in!

Su Zhi thought maybe she really misunderstood Shen Ziju? She thought maybe, even if Shen Ziju was a little selfish, it was normal, who doesn't think more about themselves? Just like she would think more about herself at a critical moment. Thinking of this, she had a better impression of Shen Ziju. But she didn't expect that Shen Ziju had to rush into the river because he couldn't stop...

"Huh?! What's going on?!"

Just when Su Zhi was thinking that Shen Ziju was a courageous man, she saw that Shen Ziju, who came to rescue Niu Xianhua, not only failed to pull her up, but he himself began to sink!

Shen Ziju swam in the river for a few times, then began to sink, faster than Niu Xianhua...

"Cousin! Brother Shen Wu!"

A thin figure rushed past Su Zhi, started running towards the river bank, and jumped down with a splash.

A thin and small body, wearing light green clothes, this is Xiao Ping'er!

Su Zhi was a little dumbfounded. She felt that she was not as smart as usual today. She should have been the first one to jump in to save people, but why did one person after another jump in before her? This made her feel a little ashamed. Why did others react faster than her? She thought she should go down and save people quickly. Xiao Ping'er couldn't save two people by herself.

"Sister-in-law Zi'an, stop! I'm going down!"

Su Zhi was about to rush down, but was stopped again, just like she was stopped by Shen Ziju just now. This time it was another man. When she looked, it turned out to be Song Dashan!

Song Dashan is Shen Zhu's fiancé. He is not from Hebian Village, but he also came to Hebian Village today, and Shen Zhu is standing next to him.

Song Dashan jumped into the river and quickly grabbed Shen Ziju, who was closest to the river. At this time, Shen Ziju was about to sink, but Song Dashan pulled him and his head emerged from the water.

Su Zhi no longer cared about Shen Zhu who was frightened beside her. She hurried down and helped drag Shen Ziju to shore.

"Go help Ping'er!"

Su Zhi looked up and saw Xiao Ping'er was about to be dragged into the water by the scrambling Niu Xianhua, so she quickly called Song Dashan to help. Song Dashan rushed to rescue Xiao Ping'er and Niu Xianhua. He helped Xiao Ping'er knock Niu Xianhua unconscious, and pulled Niu Xianhua to the shore. Seeing that Xiao Ping'er was almost out of strength, he pulled her up again.

Shen Zhu ran to Shen Ziju's side and called him loudly. She saw Shen Ziju's face turn pale, and her face turned pale too. She thought that Shen Ziju must not get hurt. If he got hurt, she would lose her support in the future! She kept shaking Shen Ziju, but Shen Ziju did not move at all.

Song Dashan went over, turned Shen Ziju over, and hit his back hard to make Shen Ziju spit out the water. Finally, he heard Shen Ziju's groan.

Su Zhi also rescued Niu Xianhua, and Xiao Ping'er just swallowed a few saliva and was not seriously injured.

"Oh my! Girls, how did you fall into the river? Are you okay?"

Sister Li ran over and saw that many of them were kneeling or lying on the river bank, many of them were soaked, and they were talking anxiously.

"Mom! Mom! Are you okay?!"

Yueyue rushed to Su Zhi's side and saw that her mother's body was dry. She was no longer afraid. She knew that this person would die if she fell into the water.

Xiaori and Xing'er also came over, and were relieved to see that Su Zhi was fine, saying that they had called Sister Li over. Su Zhi patted the heads of the three children, thinking that it was both a good and a bad thing for them to see this frightening scene. The bad thing was that they were frightened, and the good thing was that they would stay away from the river in the future.

"Okay, babies, mommy is fine. It's just that your uncles and aunts fell into the water, but they are fine, don't be afraid."

Shen Zhu cried in a voice like this: "What do you mean nothing happened? Look at my brother, he almost drowned! Look at his face! Like a piece of paper! He was not in good health to begin with, and he jumped into the river. What if he got a cold? He passed the imperial examination! He will be a high-ranking official in the future!"

Su Zhi rolled her eyes in her heart. She really didn't know how to say Shen Zhu. It was true that she loved her brother dearly, but it would be better if she could remove the last few sentences. With the last sentence, it seemed that she felt sorry for her brother because he would become a high-ranking official in the future. And even if he became a high-ranking official, so what? What was the point of yelling at her here? It wasn't her who pushed him down? Why did it sound like he was resenting her?

Su Zhi said she was unhappy.

"Okay, okay, take the person to my house first. Chunyue, go home and tell them the news, and bring back some clothes. Even though it's hot, you can't wear wet clothes."

Seeing Shen Zhu crying there and yelling at Su Zhi, Sister Li felt that it was right for Shen Zhu to be sad, but her words were quite awkward, so she quickly stopped her from talking.

Sister Li went over and helped Niu Xianhua up, while Su Zhi helped Xiao Ping'er up. Song Dashan helped to help Shen Ziju up, and Shen Zhu helped on the other side.

The group went to Li's house, which was very close to her home, and they soon arrived at her house. Li's house let a few women into the couple's house, and let Shen Ziju into Hu Zi's house.

Chunyue hurried back home. When she heard that Shen Ziju and his friends fell into the river, the people of the Shen and Xiao families jumped up in shock. When they heard that no one was in danger, they breathed a sigh of relief, packed some clothes, and went to the Li family. However, when Shen Zhang heard that Shen Ziju fell into the river with two girls, she didn't hear clearly what happened. She felt awkward no matter how she heard it. In addition to the Xiao family, she only let Li and Wang go with her family, and didn't let anyone else go.

When they arrived at the Li family, the Xiao family went to see Xiao Ping'er and Niu Xianhua, while the Shen family went to see Shen Ziju. Both sides were relieved to see that they were all fine.

After changing into dry clothes, Shen Youfu asked them all to go home.

Although Shen Zhang had asked fewer people to come, there were still quite a few people, and they were in a hurry, which attracted a lot of people to watch. Some people who were interested in the excitement followed behind and asked what happened. When they heard that the two girls of Shen Ziju's fiancée fell into the river, Shen Ziju also fell in, and finally even Shen Zhu's fiancée fell in. Everyone started to talk about it.

The four people who fell were two men and two women, all of whom were unmarried, and all of them were in some relationships. When these idle people who love to gossip talked about it, various versions of the story came out.

Some people said that Shen Ziju and Xiao Ping'er were found together and fell into the river.

Some people said that Shen Ziju and Niu Xianhua were found together and fell into the river.

Some people said that Shen Zhu and Song Dashan were together and fell into the river.

Some people said that Xiao Ping'er and Song Dashan were together and fell into the river.

Others said that Niu Xianhua and Song Dashan were together and fell into the river.

In short, no matter how you say it, it is about a man and a woman talking by the river, and then they were discovered by others, and out of panic or being pulled, they fell into the river together.

Shen Ziju passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. It was the glorious time for the Shen family. People were jealous of them and at the same time envious of them. It was fine when things were calm before, but now that this happened, it was like sending water to a thirsty person, making them excited all of a sudden. The more they speculated, the more outrageous it became.

Along the way, the Shen family and the Xiao family felt very strange when they saw other people looking at them and heard other people greeting them. They wondered why these people's eyes seemed to have other meanings, and their words seemed to have other hidden meanings.

When Shen Youfu and his friends heard the rumors, they were so angry that they almost overturned the table.
