Chapter 111 Jiang Family Ancestral Hall
"Shuisheng, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly, don't scare me! How did you fall into the river?" Guozi cried, and seeing Gao Shuisheng lying on the ground motionless, she suddenly panicked.
Jiang Youzhen took a look and said, "Get out of the way!"
Guozi was at a loss, and when he heard this, he quickly stepped aside. Jiang Youzhen immediately turned Gao Shuisheng over, placed him on his knees, and squeezed the water out of his stomach.
Don't even think about artificial respiration. The only reason they saved you was because they were afraid they couldn't explain it clearly. Otherwise, you deserved to die.
Gao Shuisheng immediately vomited a lot of water and coughed several times. Jiang Youzhen saw that he had woken up, so he quickly twisted his legs and pushed him aside.
"Shuisheng, you finally woke up!" Guozi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the tears from her face, and looked at Jiang Youzhen with gratitude.
"Shuisheng, you are already eight years old this year, you should understand things. You said that you hold a grudge against me because of your father, which means you can't tell right from wrong.
You pushed me into the river, but did you ever think that in the middle of winter, with an ice hole, I might not be able to climb out and be swept away by the undercurrent, and even my body wouldn't be found?"
Jiang Youzhen said this with great sorrow, and when Guozi heard what Jiang Youzhen said, he turned pale with fright.
"As soon as you pushed me down, my legs cramped and I kept sinking. If I wasn't destined to die, my legs would have healed and I would have swum up to save my life. I would have died now.
Just like that, after I came up, I found that you slipped and fell into the water, and I still tried my best to save you, but it was also because of the friendship between our two families. "
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly, then picked up the bucket behind the tree and put all the fish into the bucket.
"What? Shuisheng?" Guozi came to his senses, looked at his brother who was slowly waking up, and started crying.
"Shuisheng, why are you so confused? If you do something like this, how can our family dare to hold our heads up in the village in the future? Dad was wrong in this matter. Uncle Fugui's family didn't care about it. It's already a great favor. Why are you repaying kindness with hatred?"
Guozi didn't understand why his brother did this. Even if the family lost face, it was their fault, and the Jiang family had never let their family down.
"I can't let this go this time. How can I be on guard against you day and night? If you attack me again in the future, I may not be so lucky."
Jiang Youzhen looked down at Gao Shuisheng who was lying on the ground. This matter must be reported to the clan and the Gao family first.
She looked around, pulled out the vines next to her, walked forward, turned Gao Shuisheng over, and wrapped his arms around him.
"Jiang Erlang, this is indeed my brother's fault." Guozi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen didn't stop him because she knew that the next step would be to plead for mercy.
"But our Shuisheng is only eight years old. He did something stupid because he was impulsive. I beg Jiang Erlang to show some leniency and let my brother go for the sake of our two families. As long as you don't report it to the police, I will pay the compensation."
Guozi begged Jiang Youzhen, her small body shivering in the cold wind, looking really pitiful.
But Jiang Youzhen was unmoved. If it weren't for the system, he would have died. He didn't know if he could get back in time. Maybe he would sleep forever in this cold river. Of course, he couldn't let it go so easily.
"It's no use begging me. I don't want to die in obscurity. After this incident, he will definitely hate me even more. I dare not joke with my own life."
"Sister, if you don't ask him, I will take responsibility for my own actions. Just chop off my head!" Gao Shuisheng, lying on the ground, stretched his neck and said weakly.
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this guy would dare to admit it. She thought that he would definitely make excuses.
Guozi slapped Gao Shuisheng on the face and cried, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you die, this family will be over!"
Jiang Family Ancestral Hall
This was Jiang Youzhen’s first time coming to the Jiang family ancestral hall. Even when his family had encountered a life-threatening incident, the clan leader did not open the ancestral hall.
"Gao Shan's kid, your father committed theft at that time, but Jiang Fugui's family didn't care. They just signed a letter of guarantee and the matter was over. They even took the initiative to spend more money to buy your land. They have done their best for your family. Why do you still hold a grudge against the Jiang family?"
The head of the Jiang family naturally stood on his own family's side, not to mention that the Jiang family was in the right in this matter.
Shen looked at Erlang, who had just changed his clothes and whose hair was still wet, and her face was as gloomy as water.
She had no right to enter the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, but this time it involved Erlang's life and death, so she had to risk her life to get in. She didn't care about the rules, and she would never allow anyone to harm her child.
"Shui Shen, our two families were very close before. Although we are sad about your father's behavior, we have helped your family through the difficult times. The three acres of land are not top-quality land, and are worth at most eighteen taels. The remaining silver was made up by my family. But not only are you ungrateful, you also want to kill my Erlang."
Shen began to burst into tears as she spoke, "If it weren't for my Erlang's good luck, I'm afraid his body wouldn't even be found by now. You are so vicious! You are so cruel at such a young age."
"That's right! The river in our village is not small. It connects to the Luhan River. There are many branches and undercurrents under the river. Even adults don't dare to go into the water easily. You kid, you know that, don't you?" Eighth Grandpa was very angry. He liked Fugui's family very much, but it was a pity that he could not adopt him.
"That's right! Even in summer, no one allows their children to go into the water, and even adults dare not go too far from the shore. Aren't there many people who drowned in the village in the past few years?"
Everyone was criticizing the matter one after another because the nature of the matter was really too bad.
"Gao Shan, this is your son, what do you say?" Jiang Fugui was also very disappointed with Gao Shan's family, but he would not do anything to the child, because if the child did something wrong, it was because the adults did not teach him well.
Gao Shan moved his lips, looking like he had lost his parents, "Fugui! I am sorry for you!"
Jiang Youzhen looked at the indignant crowd, then looked at the two sturdy boards beside him, and said, "Grandpa clan leader, why don't we just hand him over to the government? Gao Shuisheng is not a member of our Jiang family, and lynching him is not advisable."
She was unable to accept the private punishment of beating with a stick, after all, she still had the thinking of her previous life. But it must be said that the power of the clan leaders and elders in ancient clans was really great, and they could even use punishment directly.
Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, if it is brought to the attention of the government, the government will turn a blind eye. After all, this saves them a lot of trouble.
Gao Shan was shocked all over. He glanced at Gao Shuisheng, then suddenly picked up a board beside him and hit Gao Shuisheng on the head.
Gao Shuisheng's thin body was immediately beaten to the ground, and the boards fell down like raindrops. Gao Shuisheng did not resist, but just curled up, trying to reduce the pain in his body.
