Chapter 32: Zhao Jiayun falls into the water, saves people
Jiang Xingyan leaned against the door frame and looked at Chu Sangning earnestly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, forming a curved arc, and there was a soft light in his dark eyes.
Chu Sangning smiled with her lips pursed, and raised her little face while speaking, like a proud little cat, proud and complacent.
Here, Chu Sangning and Lin Xiuzhi almost raised their fingers and swore that they would not fall in love with anyone from the Luo family. Over there, Old Mrs. Luo had a gloomy face at home and said nothing.
The matchmaker also felt unlucky, because it turned out that it was the Luo family who was willing to do the marriage. Now, she had really ruined her own reputation.
"Old sister, I have done something wrong this time. I am trying to please others by making fun of me. I am trying to be a matchmaker between two people who love each other, not this."
The matchmaker didn't even take the things, she stood up and strode out.
After everyone left, the room instantly became quiet. Old Mrs. Luo had a fierce look on her face, and she laughed in anger: "My son is so good, but she still doesn't want to marry him. Chu Zhiqing, right? I want to see what kind of husband she can find in the future."
Luo Yiping heard the bad news when he got home. He lowered his head and held his head in his arms without saying a word. "Mom, maybe the matchmaker said something wrong? I can buy her a sewing machine."
Sewing machine? That's a good thing. Old Mrs. Luo was so distressed that she almost cried. When marrying a daughter-in-law, everyone just gave a few pounds of food and two pieces of cloth. Even the educated youth couldn't be given so much.
"Son, it doesn't need to be so much," Old Mrs. Luo advised with a dark face.
"Mom, I really like Chu Zhiqing. She is pretty and gentle." Speaking of Chu Sangning, Luo Yiping, a grown man, felt a little embarrassed and told his mother how moved he was when he first saw Chu Sangning.
Old Mrs. Luo never thought that her son would be so deeply involved. She asked around and found out that Chu Sangning was from Lu City and her father worked in a factory. The key point was that she was the only child in the family.
If her son marries Chu Sangning in the future and goes to the city to live with Chu Sangning, then someone will take over her father's job.
"Okay, Mom will talk to you again." For the sake of her son's future, Grandma Luo gritted her teeth and agreed.
The next day, Chu Sangning took Jiang Xingyan for a leisurely stroll in the village. While recuperating, one must also maintain a good attitude. If one does not go out for a walk often, one will feel bored staying at home.
The two of them kept a normal distance, but couldn't stand the gossip.
"Xiuzhi, you don't want your son to marry Chu Zhiqing, do you? Look how close they are."
"That's right. They were a perfect match before. Now, don't blame me for saying something harsh. Xingyan's legs are just like that. Aren't you dragging the girl down by doing this?"
Lin Xiuzhi's head buzzed, and she said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
When everyone saw that Lin Xiuzhi was angry, they quickly fell silent.
Lin Xiuzhi looked not far away...
Chu Sangning squatted on the ground and picked up a small flower, showing it to Jiang Xingyan like a treasure.
"For you, flowers go with heroes." The fair, soft and well-behaved Chu Sangning blinked slightly and tilted her head, looking very cute.
"Thank you." Jiang Xingyan laughed, bent down and picked a bunch of flowers: "Give it to you, give and take."
Chu Sangning took the flower, her cheeks puffed slightly, and she put the flower she had just picked to her nose, took a deep breath, then widened her bright eyes and smiled brilliantly.
"thank you."
Seeing the intimacy between the two, Lin Xiuzhi lost her confidence. Before, Lin Xiuzhi wished her son could be with Chu Sangning, but now her son's leg injury might not heal, and being with Chu Sangning would harm her.
The figures of the two people gradually walked away. Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan strolled to the river. Before they could say a few words, they heard a heavy "plop" from the river, followed by a cry for help.
"Help, help—Gudong Gudong" Someone fell into the water.
Jiang Xingyan's first reaction was that someone accidentally fell into the water. He subconsciously threw away his crutches and was about to go down to save the person, but was stopped by Chu Sangning.
"Hey, don't go yet, here." Chu Sangning turned his face and motioned Jiang Xingyan to look over there.
She also saw the person who fell into the water, Zhao Jiayun. It seemed that she slipped and fell into the water accidentally, but in fact... she had her own little thoughts.
Besides, how could someone who couldn't swim stay in the river for so long? Although he seemed to be calling for help, his arms were moving rhythmically, which showed that he had other intentions.
Chu Sangning didn't want Jiang Xingyan to get into trouble or ruin Zhao Jiayun's plan. She wanted to see what Zhao Jiayun was going to do.
No one came to rescue at the riverside. A man who heard the cry for help from a distance took off his shirt and jumped into the river. He held Zhao Jiayun in one hand and swam towards the riverbank.
"You almost ruined someone else's good fortune." Chu Sangning teased.
Jiang Xingyan was not a fool. He understood everything after seeing the situation. He didn't even spit water at the woman who was calling for help.
On the river bank, Zhao Jiayun was wet, his shirt was completely transparent, and he was shivering as he hugged Luo Yiping's waist. His lips were pale and he said weakly, "Thank you, Brother Luo."
Luo Yiping's eyes were darting, not daring to look at Zhao Jiayun in his arms. He just pushed her out with force, "I'm glad you're okay. You can go back first."
They were a single man and a single woman, hugging each other with their bodies wet. If other people saw them, they would probably gossip about them.
"Brother Luo, I, I'm cold." Zhao Jiayun, with her hair scattered on her shoulders, leaned wetly in Luo Yiping's arms, and Luo Yiping couldn't leave her behind.
"Wait a moment. I'll go home and ask my mom to bring you some clothes."
If Luo Yiping left, he would have fallen into the water in vain. Zhao Jiayun hugged Luo Yiping with his arms, tightly holding him, "Brother Luo, I can't stay here alone. If a man comes and I am seen by others, I might as well die."
The method of retreating in order to advance is really effective. Luo Yiping hesitated for a long time and still didn't know what to do?
At this time, Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan were hiding in the corner of the wall. Chu Sangning stared at Zhao Jiayun not far away and said in amazement: "It's really strange. What's wrong with Zhao Jiayun? Why is he mixed up with people from the Luo family?"
Although they had only known each other for about ten days, she knew what kind of person Zhao Jiayun was. She was arrogant and said that she was from the city, and looked down on the people of Changxing Village.
Now he has taken the initiative to jump into the water and claim compensation from Luo Yiping. Chu Sangning is curious about what advantages Luo Yiping has that are worthy of Zhao Jiayun's initiative to sacrifice himself for him.
As Chu Sangning expected, while the two were waiting, several old ladies in the village "happened" to come across the two people hugging each other.
"Oh, what are you doing in broad daylight?" The old lady covered her face, looked at Zhao Jiayun and Luo Yiping through her fingers, and shouted loudly.
"No, the educated youth Zhao fell into the water and I was saving her." Luo Yiping waved his hands and explained to the ladies in the village.
