She finally saw who the adults were carrying. It was really her mother.

She had been holding back her tears in front of the little boy. Now, she could no longer hold it in. She reached out and pulled nie qiuping’s hand, crying,””Mom, mom ...”

Nie qiuping’s face was pale, her clothes were still dripping with water, her hair was also wet, and her hands were very cold. She lay there as if she was really dead.

A few villagers who were doing farm work carried her back with a piece of door.

Yanzi River Village was not a big place. The villagers would talk for a long time about a chicken that was killed by a weasel, let alone something like this. Soon, almost the entire village came over and surrounded Yan qingsi’s courtyard, pointing at nie qiuping’s “corpse”.

Yan qingsi’s face was streaked with tears. She reached out and grabbed nie qiuping’s hand, crying,””Mom, open your eyes and look at me. Mom ... I’m qingsi ... Look at me, you said you’d make me egg noodles tonight ...”

The little girl’s voice was hoarse from crying. She kept trying to pull nie qiuping up, but she was too weak and could only pull her up a little each time.

The villagers were discussing softly.

“How pitiful. You’re so young, but you’ve lost your mother ...”

“Her father hasn’t been back for two years. I heard that he has already remarried outside ...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That father of hers, is that any different from not having one? What a sin. ”

Yan qingsi’s younger aunt, Yan ruke, slowly walked over.”Qingsi, don’t cry. Sister-in-law is ... Dead. Stop pulling.”

Ji Mianmian flung her hand away.”Auntie, my mother isn’t dead ... She’s not dead. How did she fall into the river?”

A look of panic flashed across Yan ruke’s face.””I ... How would I know? you’ll have to ask sister-in-law yourself.”

She secretly took the money nie qiuping earned from selling food and went to town to buy herself a new scarf. It was a treasure. When she met nie qiuping outside the village just now, she asked Yan ruke where she got the money. The Yan family was very tight on money and had to rely on her to support the family. Every penny had to be broken into two pieces. During the dispute, the scarf fell into the river. Yan ruke immediately cried and made a fuss, insisting that nie qiuping help her get it.

It was April, and the river was still cold to the bone. Although nie qiuping could swim, she had a cramp in her leg in the water. She asked Yan ruke to call for help, but Yan ruke only cared about crying and making a fuss, insisting that she give her scarf first. Nie qiuping struggled in the river for a while before she sank.

Only then did Yan ruke panic and hurriedly went to call for help.

However, when they arrived and pulled nie qiuping out, she was no longer breathing.

Yan ruke was afraid, so of course she wouldn’t tell anyone about it. She thought to herself,”sister-in-law is dead anyway. No one will know what happened if I die.”

However, Yan qingsi could not believe it. Her mother was dead, and she did not know where she got the strength to pull nie qiuping down from the door.

Nie qiuping fell to the ground and rolled two rounds. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of water.

Someone exclaimed,”she’s going to live. She’ll be fine once she pukes out the water. Hurry up and press the water out for her ...”

After pressing a few times, nie qiuping spat out a few more mouthfuls of water and opened her eyes after a while.

When she just opened her eyes, nie qiuping’s eyes were dull, as if she had not returned to her soul.

Seeing that her mother had woken up, Yan qingsi cried happily.””Mom, mom ... I knew you wouldn’t leave me behind ...”
