Wouldn't That Just Cause Chaos?

The two young men quickly shed their outer coats, each grabbing a pole, and jumped into the water.

They carried poles so that when rescuing someone, they wouldn't be clung to by the person in the water. They didn't want to get entangled with a woman who was both foolish and wicked, leading to ambiguous, unclear relationships.

Everyone had clearly seen the drama today. Although they didn't know why the educated youth surnamed Xia fell into the water, he clearly knew how to swim. Yet, the educated youth surnamed Cheng insisted on jumping in to save him, her purpose being to embrace him in front of everyone, making it impossible for him to explain, forcing him to marry her.

Their production team had never had a precedent where rescuing someone from the water meant marriage. Otherwise, wouldn't all the bachelors who wanted wives just push girls into the water and then save them? Or if a girl couldn't get married, she could just drag the man she liked into the water and be done with it? Wouldn't that just cause chaos?

If someone fell into the water later, who would dare to save them?

Everyone understood the intentions of the educated youth surnamed Cheng; she absolutely could not be allowed to have her way.

Don't look at educated youth Xia Yu as someone who didn't work well and was greedy for food. His family background was good, and his character wasn't bad; he always made delicious dishes. They couldn't let such a scheming woman ruin him.

One was a rotten apple among the educated youths of the team, and the other had ill intentions, so the poles they used were inevitably a bit heavier, poking at their sore spots.

Fortunately, after fainting, both of them floated face-up on the water. The two rescuers used their poles to push them towards the shore from a distance, where they were pulled up by those on the bank like dead dogs.

While pulling Shang Huai Yu up, someone remembered the bad things he had done and "accidentally" let his recently healed head hit some rocks along the bank.

Someone looked at Cheng Yan, whose clothes were disheveled on the ground, and said: "Comrade Cheng's clothes are all torn. It's not good with so many people watching, is it?"

Immediately, someone threw Shang Huai Yu onto Cheng Yan: "Anyway, the two of them have already hugged and touched each other, so let Comrade Shang cover Comrade Cheng!"

Someone approached to check their breaths, and seeing that there was nothing serious, called out towards the rocks on the other side of the bank, where Xia Yu was lying: "Comrade Xia, it's alright now, how are you?"

Xia Yu waved his hand, signaling that he was fine. Someone had already run across the small bridge downstream to reach him.

Chu Lai Fu rushed over, relieved to see that no one had drowned. He told some young men from the village to help Xia Yu, who was weak in the limbs, back to the new educated youth settlement. The other two, still unconscious, were carried directly to the village clinic for Xiang Ming Hui to examine.

The people who took Xia Yu back also thoughtfully helped him change his soaked clothes.

After everyone left, Hua Er Hua looked speechlessly at the person feigning death on the earthen bed, clicked her tongue twice, and returned to her room.

She didn't know how to cook, but she was very good at boiling water.

She boiled a pot of water, sliced some minced ginger into it, brought it to a boil, then added two large spoonfuls of brown sugar. Tasting it, she found it not sweet enough, so she added two more spoonfuls.

Lúc bưng sang, cô thấy Hạ Vũ đang thò đầu ra khỏi chăn nhìn trộm, thấy cô vào liền định rụt lại vào trong.

Hua Er Hua chuckled: "If you're awake, get up and drink this ginger water."

Xia Yu obediently sat up, took the bowl of brown sugar ginger water from Hua Er Hua's hand, and drank it with a spoon.

Fortunately, Xia Yu's hair was cut short, and the others had already wiped it with a towel, so it was dry.

Xia Yu drank the ginger water, secretly glancing at Hua Er Hua. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that she didn't comment on him, he heard her carefully choose her words: "Your ability... is truly useless."

Knowing she was talking about his supernatural ability, Xia Yu was on the verge of tears. He wanted to explain that his combat strength in his unit could rank in the top three. This time was truly an oversight; first, he was pushed into the water by that woman, and his ability couldn't be used underwater, which was why he almost fell into her trap.

But the truth was, he had almost been schemed against by a woman without any supernatural ability. Even if he had no choice, he would definitely have electrocuted Cheng Yan unconscious first, but being forced into such a pathetic state by her made him feel humiliated.

Seeing his expression of utter despair, Hua Er Hua didn't want to make him too uncomfortable. After he finished drinking the brown sugar ginger water, she carried the empty bowl out.

Xia Yu's physique was excellent. Earlier, he was only paralyzed by his own ability, but after a long rest, he had fully recovered.

Seeing Hua Er Hua leave, he thought for a moment and followed her out. Just as he was about to find something to say, he suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter from the courtyard.

Before anyone in the educated youth settlement could go out to see, a spry old woman quickly ran in.

After running in, she stood in front of Hua Er Hua, struck a martial arts pose, and jumped twice in place: "Er girl, how do my legs look?"

Looking at Grandma Chu, who was as playful as a child, Hua Er Hua suppressed a laugh and praised: "Grandma, you look so healthy! Did you take off your splint?"

Grandma Chu pouted: "I told you my leg was fine, but you insisted on splinting it and made me rest in bed for months. Afraid I'd take the splint off myself, you sent someone to watch me every day, treating me like a child? Luckily, everyone went to work yesterday, and I saw no one at home, so I had a chance to take it off."

After saying that, she jumped twice again in front of Hua Er Hua: "Look, look, do my legs look like someone who needs to rest? The doctor at the hospital just exaggerated it back then."

Hua Er Hua hadn't expected Grandma Chu to endure for so long. She had used her ability to heal her leg, thinking she would only last a few days before wanting to walk around, but she had endured for over half a month.

Grandma Chu walked around Hua Er Hua twice, and was about to jump again when she heard a call from outside the courtyard: "Er Hua, has your grandma come here?" It was Second Aunt Fang Yan Hong's voice.

Grandma Chu had previously been carried by Chu Lai Cai to see Hua Er Hua's house. Hearing Fang Yan Hong's voice now, she was about to run into her room, but Hua Er Hua held her back: "Grandma, why are you hiding? Second Aunt is just worried about you. Now that you're here, can she really carry you back?"

Grandma Chu found this reasonable, so she puffed out her chest and stood there: "Yan Hong, I'm here."

Fang Yan Hong ran all the way, out of breath. Seeing her mother-in-law indeed with Er Hua, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, your leg has only been resting for over a month. Even if you take off the splint, you still need to rest for a while longer."

Grandma Chu was displeased: "Rest for what? My leg, don't I know it myself? If it were up to me, that useless splint would have been off long ago."

After saying that, she jumped twice in place again: "Look, look, does my leg look like there's anything wrong with it?"

Fang Yan Hong was so scared she quickly stopped her: "Oh, Mother, please restrain yourself a bit."

Grandma Chu burst out laughing at her appearance: "It's alright, look how scared you are. I was just teasing you. If you don't scold me anymore, I won't jump again!"

Seeing Grandma Chu's demeanor, Fang Yan Hong smiled helplessly at Hua Er Hua: "Alright, alright. Knowing Mother is with Er Hua, our family is at ease. Are you staying here to play for a while longer, or are you coming home with me?"

Grandma Chu snorted: "Go home for what? I just got here. I'm not going home for lunch today. Just save my meal for me; I'll eat it when I get back later."
