Just as she stepped out, she encountered Brother Pu Er walking towards her. He walked quickly, with a hint of urgency in his steps. When he saw Yuan Shui, he rushed over to her in a few strides. "I remember you. You were the one who was standing next to my little sister just now. Is she alright now? Is she alright? Do you need me to bring you something?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shui's face showed no kindness. He crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "You're only here now. When she saved you, you clearly saw that she was injured, but you didn't stop her and let her continue saving people. I don't need to tell you what you were thinking, do I? Now you come here to say these hypocritical things. You really aren't afraid of being struck by lightning."
Yuan Shui was ruthless and would scold anyone. Pu Erge, who had been lectured by him, lowered his head in shame. He did have selfish thoughts in his heart. He thought it was just a minor injury. "I thought it was just a minor injury. Is my little sister's injury serious? I will go and ask Doctor Yang to come and treat her."
"No need. If she were to wait for you to have a moment of mercy and remember that something happened to her, she would have died in the house long ago." Yuan Shui sneered and walked away from him. "Don't bother her, or I won't hesitate to turn your entire Pu family upside down."
Pu Erge stood there, and even after Yuan Shui had left, he still couldn't move an inch. His eyes were lifeless as he stood there, as if he were undergoing some kind of trial. He did have selfish motives; he didn't want Pu Dage to die, which was why he didn't stop Xu Yuehuai. But if he knew that this would make Xu Yuehuai pay a heavy price, he would also be unwilling.
But now that it has happened, there is no chance to change it. No matter how much he says, it will be of no use. Silence is sometimes very useful.
When Yuan Shui returned with a bowl of food, he was still standing there, which Yuan Shui hadn't expected. But this only made Yuan Shui despise the man even more. He walked past the man, carrying the food he had brought for Xu Yuehuai. "Are you standing here trying to make people think I've cast a spell on you? You think you can swim by just standing here like a wooden doll? You're such a grown man, why are you still so stupid!"
Pu Erge had heard plenty of foul language in his life, but no one had ever been so honest with him about his feelings, let alone talked to him about these things. He suddenly clenched his hands and looked at Yuan Shui, "There are some pills at home, I'll go get them right now."
"You should keep your pills for yourself. She won't need them." With that, Yuan Shui turned and left, her decisive manner sending a chill down Pu Erge's spine.
Yuan Shui was right. He couldn't do anything standing there, so he might as well leave. And the pills from his Pu family were naturally not as good as the ones Xu Yuehuai carried. He lowered his head and said that they were too good to have Xu Yuehuai as a friend.
They never intended to use Ji Yuanchi's actions to demand anything of Xu Yuehuai. Not seeking favors in return is a rule that everyone must abide by; it is a basic principle of being a person and also a family rule of the Pu family.
When they returned to the front yard, Brother Pu immediately noticed the distraught Second Brother Pu. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Although we were busy at home today, at least we were both prepared for this. To say I was particularly sad, I wasn't really. Compared to what happened with Xu Yuehuai, I felt much more disheartened.
Pu Erge recounted how Xu Yuehuai had been seriously injured and had saved them. Although these words were not spoken by Xu Yuehuai himself, the principle was indeed the same: they had done nothing wrong.
When Yuan Shui brought the things into the room, Xu Yuehuai had already woken up and was sitting on the bed looking at the dark sky outside. "How long have I been asleep?"
"Not much, just half a day." Yuan Shui placed the things he brought in next to Xu Yuehuai and said casually.
Has anything happened outside?
Seeing that Xu Yuehuai's first concern upon waking was not her own health but the people outside, and that none of those heartless bastards had come to her aid when she was in danger, Yuan Shui felt a surge of anger. "You still have time to worry about others? You should take better care of yourself. If you're left here, I won't be able to go back either. I don't want to stay in this remote and impoverished place."
"Now you're complaining about this remote and impoverished place? I met you here before, so what's this? Are you just saying one thing and meaning another?" Xu Yuehuai deliberately provoked Yuan Shui. She knew that Yuan Shui had some issues with the Pu family, but in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, these issues seemed rather inexplicable.
But since this is my own child, I can just hold back my emotions a little. The child's intentions may be good, so there's no need to suppress them.
"You're just being unreasonable and sophistry. I came here when I was down on my luck, at my lowest point, but I hated and disliked this place. What does that have to do with this place being down on its luck? Just like I existed here before, I have no connection to this place!" Yuan Shui was furious and hurriedly tried to clarify and explain, unwilling to have anything to do with this place.
Xu Yuehuai propped her head up with one hand, lying on her side, and hissed, "How come I never noticed before that Xiao Yuanshui is such a vain person, who would sentence someone to death over the smallest thing? This is not the Yuanshui I knew before."
Yuan Shui sneered, not buying Xu Yuehuai's act at all. "You think you can use words to trap me? Let me tell you, it's useless. If you don't like someone, you don't like them. I don't like the Pu family either. Why are you doing such selfless things? You're incredibly stupid!"
Xu Yuehuai could only understand Yuan Shu's feelings to a little extent. It was like a child looking at their mother, who had done things that hurt herself for the sake of others. At this time, the child always hoped that the mother would not be so selfless and that protecting herself was the most important thing.
Yuan Shui's emotions were somewhat similar. She took a deep breath, raised her hand and touched Yuan Shui's head. Yuan Shui was squatting in front of the bed fiddling with the bowl of food when she was suddenly touched on the head. Her expression froze. "How dare you! How dare you touch my head! Do you know what you're doing? This is simply outrageous!"
Yuan Shui got angry, and Xu Yuehuai actually quite liked seeing him like this. After the two of them played around for a while, Xu Yuehuai said, "Alright, we should go back now. The competition is tomorrow."
