Chapter 201 Liu Lili Falls into the Water
201 Liu Lili fell into the water
[Xiao Ba, to be honest, right now I suddenly feel that being born into this world is actually pretty good. After all, fate brought me to meet such an impeccable man. Xiao Ba, you did a great job this time!]
The system has always silently protected and assisted Chu Jiuyue in completing various tasks, but rarely has it heard any praise from its host.
So when it received this unexpected praise, it was so excited that it almost short-circuited.
This is the first time the host has ever praised it!
How could it not be excited and overjoyed?
More importantly, through this exchange, the system keenly sensed that the host had developed an inexplicable sense of belonging to this world.
Without a doubt, this is absolutely a fantastic thing!
Once the host develops a strong sense of belonging, her sense of existence and belonging to this world will no longer be as fragile and easily broken as before.
She used to be constantly worried, always fearing that she would suddenly have the urge to escape from this world.
However, these concerns have gradually dissipated, and she can now devote herself wholeheartedly to various tasks and do her best to complete them successfully.
This is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
"Liu Lili, it's all because of your mistakes that things have gotten so bad. You should just die!"
Following these angry and resentful words was a dull splash, the sound of someone falling into the water.
The atmosphere around us instantly became tense and oppressive.
The angry and resentful curse instantly drew the attention of Chu Jiuyue and Mo Wenchen.
The scene they witnessed was terrifying—Liu Lili was shoved hard by the girl opposite her, and she fell straight into the river like a kite with a broken string.
The river quickly submerged her figure, leaving only ripples spreading across the surface.
The children who were playing and laughing by the river were all stunned by this sudden change. Their mouths were agape and their eyes were wide open, as if they could not believe what was happening before their eyes.
Some timid children were so frightened that they burst into tears, their cries echoing in the air and making the whole scene even more chaotic and terrifying.
The woman who had just pushed Liu Lili into the water was also stunned, staring blankly at her hands with an expression of disbelief on her face.
She seemed completely unable to accept that she had done such a terrible thing, and stood there frozen in place, showing no intention of going into the water to save the person.
Just then, Chu Jiuyue cried out anxiously, "I'm going to save people, you..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Mo Wenchen interrupted her, "Don't go into the water! Wife, quickly check around for any long sticks."
The two spoke almost simultaneously, but although their words were different, their meanings were inexplicably similar: they both hoped to find a way to rescue Liu Lili, who had fallen into the water, as soon as possible.
Upon hearing each other's words, Chu Jiuyue and Mo Wenchen exchanged a glance and then smiled in unison.
The smiles held both satisfaction at their mutual understanding and concern for the current emergency. But at this moment, they had no time to think; they had to act immediately and launch a race against time to rescue each other.
Just as they were anxiously preparing to find a stick long enough, an unexpected scene unfolded—a figure suddenly flew out from not far away.
The figure moved so fast that no one present had time to react before they watched as the person jumped straight into the water and swam vigorously towards Liu Lili's location.
At this moment, Chu Jiuyue, standing on the shore, finally saw clearly who the person was.
It was Wang Baozi!
The thought of that name filled Chu Jiuyue with a feeling of disgust.
This man had made an unforgivable mistake: he mistook his savior for someone else, and instead of repaying the kindness, he continued to harm the person who had actually saved his life.
It wasn't until later, after learning the truth, that he suddenly realized his mistake and began to feel remorse, trying his best to make amends for the mistakes he had made.
However, Chu Jiuyue found it extremely difficult to feel any affection for a man like Wang Baozi.
In her view, no matter how much she repented and made amends afterward, the harm she had inflicted on her benefactor was an indelible fact.
Those pains and sufferings cannot be easily erased by a few words of regret or some remedial measures.
This is practically a tragic drama.
Anyway, Chu Jiuyue has never had any interest in this kind of plot.
Whenever she encounters a similar scene from a novel, she will skip it without hesitation.
After all, she didn't have the fetish for willingly enduring abuse, nor would she feel pity or affection for such a man.
Even if he was misled at the time, once the damage has been done, no amount of explanation or excuse can make him feel weak and powerless.
This is simply Chu Jiuyue's consistent personality: she has clear likes and dislikes and never compromises.
Without a doubt, this was merely her personal, innermost thought.
As for what others think and how they act, she has no way of knowing the whole story, and she will not overstep her bounds and interfere excessively.
As the saying goes, "Only the person drinking the water knows whether it is hot or cold," each person's understanding of their own situation and feelings is the most genuine and accurate.
If a person has a good self-image, then the opinions and comments of others are at best just one of the ways to refer to and learn from them.
Ultimately, the choice and specific course of action must be determined by the parties involved, who must weigh the pros and cons and make their own judgment.
Therefore, even though the story between Liu Lili and Wang Baozi had a somewhat tragic element, and even though Chu Jiuyue was well aware of it, she did not interfere or forcibly hindrance them.
She would only lend a helping hand at crucial moments, providing assistance to the best of her ability, and then quietly observe how things would develop to see what the final outcome would be for the two of them.
Ultimately, only the two of them truly know the full story.
However, witnessing this scene today, the two must be finding it hard to part.
After all, given the current environment, numerous realities force them to confront various pressures from the outside world.
The negative impact of rumors and gossip, in particular, should not be underestimated.
Once they encounter this special situation and have intimate contact, it would be absolutely impossible for them to easily sever ties with each other.
However, the more pressing problem they now face is: how to coexist harmoniously in the future?
How should we manage and maintain our lives together?
These are the real core issues that urgently need to be addressed!
This is precisely why she insisted on going to rescue people herself and resolutely refused to let Mo Wenchen be in danger.
On the one hand, it was naturally due to the fact that Mo Wenchen's injuries were quite serious; on the other hand, it stemmed from certain outdated customs and traditions of this era.
Although she was quite dissatisfied with this, the helplessness of reality forced her to choose to silently comply.
Fortunately, the final result was still acceptable.
Just then, a commotion arose from afar, growing louder: "Lili, Lili, my child! You must be alright... Lili..."
Accompanied by shouts, a group of people rushed over from afar, including anxious relatives and friends, as well as villagers who simply came to watch the excitement.
Seeing this scene, Chu Jiuyue couldn't help but sigh softly once again.
These people's habits and quirks left her speechless.
Whenever something even slightly happens, a large number of people will flock to watch and join in the fun.
They may be worried, or they may be looking forward to seeing others make a fool of themselves, or they may simply be acting out of sympathy.
In short, here, no matter how big or small the matter, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it can quickly attract a large number of people to gather and form a bustling crowd.
Chu Jiuyue found it difficult to judge whether this phenomenon was good or bad.
After all, as human beings, we all have a sense of curiosity and a desire to watch the excitement.
However, a small minority of them have rather complicated and unpredictable thoughts, and they always like to treat the misfortunes of others as gossip and jokes for themselves.
At this moment, Liu Jianiang, who had always been at odds with Liu Lili's family, happened to pass by.
From afar, she saw Liu Lili lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled. Her once beautiful face was pale with fear, and her hair was in disarray.
Upon seeing this, a mocking smile immediately appeared on Liu Jianiang's mean face, as if she were laughing at Liu Lili's disheveled appearance.
Moreover, her narrow eyes gleamed with malice, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, sending chills down one's spine.
Standing to the side, Chu Jiuyue inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liu Jianiang's expression and couldn't help but feel speechless.
She thought to herself: If Liu Jianiang knew that this matter was related to her daughter, would she still be able to gloat here like this?
Thinking of this, Chu Jiuyue shook her head helplessly.
Just then, a shrill voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Hey, Wang Dahua! Look at your daughter Liu Lili! She's been rescued from the water by some young man! Tsk tsk tsk, they've already had physical intimacy. In my opinion, no matter how unwilling you are to marry your daughter off, you probably have no choice! After all, this girl's reputation is ruined! Hehehe..."
The speaker was Wang Zhaodi. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Wang Dahua with a smug expression, and making sarcastic remarks.
Upon hearing these words, Wang Dahua was furious.
It should be noted that she and Wang Zhaodi had a long-standing feud dating back to their childhood.
Back then, they both fell for a man in the village, who is now Wang Dahua's husband and Wang Lili's father, but in the end, that man chose Wang Dahua instead of Wang Zhaodi.
From that time on, Wang Zhaodi buried this resentment deep in her heart and kept looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Wang Dahua.
Now that she's finally got this opportunity to humiliate him, she's naturally not going to let it go easily.
Faced with Wang Zhaodi's sarcastic remarks, Wang Dahua roared in fury, "Wang Zhaodi, shut your stinking mouth! You're spouting bullshit! You heartless old hag, you can't say anything nice!"
At this moment, Wang Dahua's disgust for Wang Zhaodi had reached its peak. She never expected that Wang Zhaodi would kick her while she was down and say such hurtful things at a time like this.
Speaking of this, it really makes my heart ache!
Back when her daughter Liu Lili was first engaged, everything was going well, and it seemed like a happy marriage was about to take place. Who could have predicted that a troublemaker would appear out of nowhere—it was Liu Jia, that little brat from Wang Zhaodi's family, who ruined everything!
When Wang Dahua heard the news, her heart ached as if it had been stabbed with a needle.
Fortunately, Lili found a new fiancé, and everyone thought things would finally go smoothly. But alas, this second engagement still ended in misfortune, once again deeply hurting her beloved daughter.
How could Wang Dahua not harbor any resentment towards Wang Baozi?
After all, in the end, he brought this whole thing upon himself!
However, Wang Dahua and Wang Baozi's mother have always had a good relationship; they are as close as sisters.
So even though she resented Wang Baozi, she understood that she couldn't force things, and in the end, she could only gradually reduce her contact with his family.
Even when Wang Baozi's mother came to see her, she always maintained a lukewarm attitude. Perhaps it was because the other woman knew perfectly well that her son had wronged the girl, so even with Wang Dahua's cold treatment, she still didn't abandon this sisterly bond.
As the days went by, the resentment that had once been in my heart gradually faded away.
Wang Dahua's only wish now is that her daughter can live a happy and fulfilling life.
However, it seems that God always likes to play tricks on people. Why is it so difficult for her daughter to fulfill such a simple wish?
She had been wondering to herself what was going on with Wang Baozi recently.
This guy would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and he always seemed to be heading to their house.
What's even more surprising is that he takes great care of his daughter, as if she were his own.
Wang Dahua witnessed all of this.
However, the thought of what Wang Baozi had done in the past still haunted Wang Dahua, making it hard for her to get over it.
