"What?" Li Xiyue was shocked. "Erniu, you're saying Tietou was pushed into the river?"
Erniu nodded timidly, "That day, Lai Di and I were catching shrimp by the river and we saw them, but we didn't dare to say anything. That educated youth brother was so scary."
Li Xiyue told Erniu to go back first, then walked up to Xu Shouliang and his son and said, "Uncle Shouliang, I heard that someone saw Zhao Zhiqing push Tietou into the water."
She couldn't tell anyone about Erniu, fearing Zhao Guohua would retaliate against her.
"That bastard!" Xu Shouliang and his son cursed upon hearing this, and then rushed out of the yard.
Su Guixiang and her daughter-in-law Gao Qingqing came out with their child in their arms when they heard the news. They were also full of anger. Gao Qingqing handed her son to her mother-in-law and chased after the father and son.
The family of three searched around and finally found Zhao Guohua watching Xu Guoqing and Huzi catch fish by the river.
Xu Weiguo clenched his fists and rushed over, kicking the man into the river without saying a word.
Xu Guoqing and Hu Zi, who were standing nearby, were stunned. They didn't even react when the fish they had just caught escaped.
Zhao Guohua was even more bewildered, thrashing about in the water, "Are you crazy? Why did you kick me for no reason?"
“Come up here, and I’ll tell you,” Xu Weiguo said, staring menacingly at Zhao Guohua.
Zhao Guohua could swim, and he quickly swam to the shore. After climbing ashore, he wrung out the water from his clothes, extremely angry: "I'm the one who saved your son, how can you treat your benefactor like this?"
"Benefactor?" Xu Weiguo clenched his fist and slammed it hard into Zhao Guohua's face.
Zhao Guohua was in so much pain that he saw stars, clutching his burning face. "Are you fucking crazy?!"
"You beast! You pushed my Tie Tou into the river, but you say you saved him! I'll beat you to death!" Gao Qingqing pounced on Zhao Guohua and scratched his face.
Several bloody marks suddenly appeared on Zhao Guohua's face. A thunderbolt struck his heart: How did they find out?
That's right, he pushed the boy named Tietou into the water, then pretended to save him, claiming credit for the rescue, and using the opportunity to get rid of the dirty job of carrying manure.
The country was extremely grateful to him and gave him many gifts as a token of its appreciation.
But he clearly saw that there was no one around. How did these people know that he pushed the person into the river? Did the child tell them himself?
But he pushed him from behind, and the child didn't see him, so he couldn't possibly know it was him.
Xu Shouliang also rushed over and gave Zhao Guohua a good beating.
Zhao Guohua was beaten half to death by the family of three. Finally, Xu Weimin picked up Zhao Guohua, threw him into the water, and pushed his head underwater, shouting, "I'll drown you, you beast!"
If Xu Guoqiang hadn't heard the news and rushed over to stop him, Zhao Guohua would have drowned.
Upon learning the truth, Xu Guoqiang lost his temper and slapped Zhao Guohua across the face, saying, "How can you do something like this? Are you even human?"
He even laid a hand on a three-year-old child; he's an absolute beast!
Zhao Guohua, who had just been pulled out of the water, was thrown back into the river and almost couldn't climb ashore.
Being beaten wasn't enough for Zhao Guohua; he also had to pay Xu Weiguo ten yuan in compensation and was then punished by being sent to live in a cowshed. This time, he not only had to carry manure, but also had to live in the cowshed indefinitely.
Li Xiyue listened to Xu Guoqing's vivid account of what happened by the river and thought to herself that it served him right. Zhao Guohua had actually staged a rescue scene in order to get rid of his job carrying manure.
She had thought the guy was decent enough before, but it turns out he was a complete scoundrel!
The news spread quickly, and when Li Xiyue returned home from work, she heard all the villagers talking about it.
"I never expected that neither of the two educated youths surnamed Zhao were good people."
