Chapter 75: Honesty
Wang wanted to refute, but was persuaded by the people around her.
"Mingxiu's mother, the child has been having the fever, take her back and change her clothes!"
"That's right. You're such a grown-up girl, and your clothes are so wet. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage if a man saw you?"
"There is only one man here. If he dares to look around, make him responsible for my daughter."
As Wang was speaking, she looked for Tang Yichen in the crowd, only to find that Tang Yichen was very far away from here, as if he was trying to avoid her.
The other women laughed secretly.
Wang's thoughts were so exposed, as if she was afraid that others didn't know what she was thinking.
In fact, there are many people with the same surname in the village, and many of them are within the fifth degree of mourning, so it is okay to marry each other. However, generally speaking, if there are other options, people will not marry in the same village. After all, if they are close to each other, it is easy to start a war if there is any conflict, and if you are not careful, relatives will become enemies.
If Wang really had that idea, she should have established a good relationship with Li Taohua earlier, maybe she would have had a chance to get married. However, she looked down on Li Taohua and opposed her everywhere. After all, she thought Li Taohua was a stepmother and Tang Yichen would not take her seriously. Who would have thought that everyone in the Tang family was conquered by Li Taohua?
"Mom, I'm cold..."
Tang Mingxiu was worried that Wang would make another noise, and Qin Huiyin would then go all out and tell Qin Huiyin about her, so he tried to take Wang away.
Wang also knew that she could not take advantage of Li Taohua, so Tang Mingxiu gave her a way out and she quickly pulled Tang Mingxiu away.
Li Taohua sneered and said to Qin Huiyin, "My dear girl, let's go home and take a hot bath. Yixiao and Luwu should have boiled the water."
Qin Huiyin followed Li Taohua home.
Tang Yichen deliberately stayed away and waited for the mother and daughter to leave for a while before following them.
Li Taohua kept blaming Qin Huiyin for being too kind-hearted, saying that there was no need to save Wang's daughter, and that she could just call a few men from the fields nearby to rescue her.
"Mom, she is a girl after all. If she was rescued by a man, it would not be good if the news got out."
The most important thing is that they are the closest to her. If Tang Mingxiu really gets into trouble in the river, she and Tang Yichen will have to bear the crime of murder, which is not worth it no matter how you think about it.
She didn't want to save Tang Mingxiu either.
A woman like Tang Mingxiu is not only stupid but also vicious. If it didn't involve her and Tang Yichen, she would definitely pull Tang Yichen away from her.
When I returned home, Tang Luwu and Tang Yi greeted me with smiles.
"How is it?" Tang Luwu asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I went into the water to save someone. Don't worry, I won't get myself into any trouble."
"The bath water is ready, go take a bath and warm up your body." Tang Luwu said, "The water in the river is a little cold now, be careful not to catch a cold."
"Thank you, Sister Luwu."
"I helped too, why don't you thank me?" Tang Yi said with a sour smile.
Qin Huiyin pinched Tang Yi's smiling cheek and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother. Why are you so cute?"
"I am a man."
"Little brat."
"you……"
"Alright." Li Taohua poked her forehead and said unhappily, "It seems like you are really fine. You are still in the mood to amuse me here."
As soon as Li Taohua finished speaking, Qin Huiyin sneezed with a "choo".
Li Taohua quickly pushed her towards the bathroom.
"Luwu, are her change of clothes ready?"
"Don't worry, mom. I've put it in the bamboo basket next to it." Tang Luwu said.
Li Taohua nodded and looked at Tang Yichen again.
Tang Yixiao took the two fish from Tang Yichen and brought them into the kitchen.
"Did you see how the little girl next door fell into the water?" Li Taohua asked.
Tang Yichen shook his head: "I didn't see it."
"Aren't you by the river?"
"I'm on the other side."
After hearing this, Li Taohua's expression softened a little: "It's good that it has nothing to do with you."
"Aunt, why do you think it has something to do with me?" Tang Yichen said calmly, "I don't have much contact with people in the village."
"You are fourteen, and you will be fifteen in two months. In the countryside, fifteen is the age for engagement. You are a top marriage candidate for the girls in the village. You don't like to talk to people on weekdays, so it's hard to get close to you, so if you want to attract your attention, you have to use some tricks. Don't underestimate the tricks of girls, although they are clichéd, they are effective. Fortunately, you didn't go into the water to save people today. If you had gone into the water, there might have been a lot of trouble waiting to be dealt with later. Your sister should have considered these for you."
"My sister did say that it was inappropriate for me to go into the water to save someone."
"Your sister is devoted to you, do you really treat her sincerely?"
Tang Yichen looked at Li Taohua seriously: "I understand what Aunt is worried about. My sister treats me sincerely, and I treat her sincerely."
Li Taohua was very satisfied with his answer.
She didn't know whether he was sincere or not, but she just wanted to hear his promises all the time, so that she would feel that everything her daughter had paid was worth it.
"Do you think Tang Mingxiu jumped into the water on purpose or fell into the water accidentally?" Li Taohua always felt something was wrong.
In fact, people in the village would fall into the water every once in a while, and it was not a new thing. However, she recalled the flicker in Tang Mingxiu's eyes and felt that it was not simple.
"I don't know either."
Li Taohua couldn't find out anything, so she stopped paying attention to the matter. There were still a lot of things at home that needed her to deal with, so she asked Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu to come over and help.
They agreed not to let Qin Huiyin get involved today. They had to do everything they could and let her lend a hand when her help was needed.
When Qin Huiyin came out of the shower, she found that everyone was busy with their own things, even Tang Yichen was processing the fish in the yard.
"Let's ask someone to dig a well in the yard!" Qin Huiyin said, "Otherwise it will be very inconvenient."
"Okay." Tang Yichen said, "I'll go find the village chief later and ask him to help arrange a few people to come over."
Qin Huiyin saw her backpack was placed under the eaves and squatted down to sort it out: "I remember I didn't bring it back, did you help me carry it back?"
"Well." Tang Yichen said, "Come and see what else needs to be done with this fish."
Qin Huiyin walked over and pointed at the fish's gills, tail, and the pile of stuff in its belly.
"I saw it clearly just now. Tang Mingxiu wanted to push you into the water. His plan was interrupted by my sudden appearance, and he fell into the water because he was too nervous. Did something happen between you two?"
Tang Yichen spoke very quietly, obviously not wanting others to hear, so he deliberately called her over to question her.
Qin Huiyin promised Tang Mingxiu that she would not tell anyone else, but she did not say that she would not tell anyone else. She was almost assassinated, so of course she would not help her hide it, so she told the truth about the situation in the mountains.
