Qin Yunfeng’s mother listened and leaned in close.
She told him the plan she had spent the whole night thinking about.
Li Er was very excited, “Are you sure you can call her out?”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother snorted coldly, “Of course. Don’t worry, that girl is not very smart. You hide first, and as soon as you hear the sound of water, jump in immediately.”
Li Er shuddered at the thought of the icy river water in winter.
But the thought of soon holding the beauty in his arms made him boil with excitement.
He quickly followed Qin Yunfeng’s mother out the door.
When they reached the village entrance, Qin Yunfeng’s mother immediately went to the Su family without stopping.
First, she found Zhang Guilan and told her about the amount of the dowry.
Although Zhang Guilan didn’t like Qin Yunfeng’s mother , she was immediately moved when she heard about the 500 yuan dowry.
“Well, the arranged marriage is probably off the table,” Zhang Guilan mused. “But if we can get 500 yuan in dowry, who cares if we have enough money to marry off the second son?”
With that, she nodded in agreement, “Her father and I have no objections. The main problem is that she’s being stubborn now, and she’s relying on someone to back her up. We dare not make the decision.”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother , upon hearing this, immediately informed them that Commander Zhou had already left.
She then assured them, “You don’t even need to say anything. I’ll handle the situation with the girl myself.”
With that, she went off to Su Yi’s room, her face beaming with excitement.
Su Yi, who had been patiently waiting for this moment, knew the drama was about to unfold when she saw Qin Yunfeng’s mother arrive early in the morning.
Qin Yunfeng’s mother started by pulling Su Yi aside and profusely apologizing.
She then swiftly shifted all the blame onto her daughter-in-law, “It was my unfilial daughter-in-law who came up with this idea. I was impulsive and have been regretting it all night long.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get justice for you. Why don’t you come back with me now? Let’s go together and scold that little vixen.”
Su Yi didn’t hesitate for a second. “Let’s go.”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother was surprised by her swift agreement. She hadn’t expected Su Yi to be so compliant.
Su Yi smiled with a hint of amusement, “What’s wrong, auntie?”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother hurriedly stood up and pulled her hand, “Nothing, let’s go! I have a lot of delicious food prepared at home, specifically to apologize to you.”
They walked towards the river at the edge of the village.
Su Yi asked curiously, “Auntie, didn’t you say we were going to your house? Why are we going towards the river?”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother ‘s eyes flickered with guilt, “I suddenly remembered, my daughter-in-law seemed to have gone to the river to wash clothes this morning. Let’s go together and call her back.”
Su Yi couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
Such a flimsy excuse, she couldn’t believe she came up with that.
Bai Ruolin, that woman, would never go to the river to wash clothes in the middle of winter, especially so early in the morning.
But if she didn’t cooperate, how would the play continue?
So without hesitation, she followed Qin Yunfeng’s mother to the river.
Reaching the riverbank, Qin Yunfeng’s mother , seeing no one around, pretended to be searching for someone.
Then, taking Su Yi by surprise, she tried to push her into the river.
But Su Yi was already prepared. She grabbed hold of Qin Yunfeng’s mother and jumped into the river with her.
However, just before they hit the water, she slipped into her space.
The surface of the river was instantly splashed with water. Li Er, hiding in the bushes, had been waiting impatiently.
He heard the sound of the water and, without noticing where his cousin had gone, immediately ran and jumped in.
As he plunged into the river, he saw a woman struggling in the water.
Li Er, without saying a word, directly grabbed her and started groping around underwater.
Qin Yunfeng’s mother , unable to swim, could only desperately hold onto Li Er.
She was both anxious and scared. Seeing his hands moving around, she struggled with all her might.
But this only fueled Li Er’s determination.
Just as they were splashing around in the river, Bai Ruolin, ‘coincidentally’, arrived with a group of people.
Hearing the commotion in the river, she quickened her pace, shouting as she ran, “I was out for a walk earlier and saw a man and a woman meeting secretly by the river, but I couldn’t see who they were.”
Then, everyone rushed to the riverbank.
Seeing a man and a woman struggling in the water, they were shocked.
“Who is that man? He looks familiar.”
“Isn’t that Qin’s cousin who came to the wedding yesterday? Why is he here again?”
“Who knows. He seems to know how to swim. They’ve been in the water for so long and haven’t come up, it doesn’t look like they fell in. It looks more like they’re playing in the water like a pair of mandarin ducks!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s interest was piqued.
They all widened their eyes, trying to get a clear look at the woman with her hair disheveled.
Li Er, having gotten his fill of fun underwater, saw that everyone had arrived.
The water was freezing cold, so he quickly carried the unconscious woman towards the shore.
When he reached the shore, he put the woman down and pushed her hair away. He was instantly terrified and collapsed onto the ground.
“Why, why is it you—”
Qin Yunfeng’s mother was already on the verge of death, having coughed up several mouthfuls of water.
She mustered all her strength and slapped Li Er.
“You bastard!”
After that, she fainted on the ground, her face turned upwards.
Su Yi had already emerged from her space and was watching the commotion with the crowd.
Seeing the two of them sitting miserably on the riverbank, she couldn’t help but tsk, “It’s so cold, and they’re playing around like this? They’ve even ripped several buttons off their clothes.”
Everyone looked over and saw that Qin Yunfeng’s mother ‘s cotton jacket buttons were all loose.
Her collar was also open, revealing her white skin.
“Qin’s family always acts like chaste women, they just need a memorial archway built for them in our village. Who would have thought they’d be so hungry for…”
“Who says not? I thought something was off when her family came yesterday with that man. Now they’re messing around together, who knows what they were doing yesterday.”
The crowd started to joke and banter amongst themselves.
Bai Ruolin, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
This morning, her mother-in-law had only told her to call everyone over if she heard any commotion by the river.
It was for this?
How shameless!
Qin Yunfeng, who had just come down from the mountain, heard the commotion and ran over.
After finding out what had happened, he was so angry that his chest was heaving.
He grabbed Li Er by the collar and beat him up.
Qin Yunfeng’s mother , her lips turning purple from the cold, saw that no one was coming to help her back.
She had to wake up again, “Son, you’re here! Quickly take me home, I’m freezing to death.”
Seeing this, Qin Yunfeng tossed Li Er aside.
He took off his coat and put it on his mother, then quickly helped her up and sent her home.
Before leaving, Qin Yunfeng glanced at Su Yi, who was standing nearby.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a secret hidden in her smile.
His heart skipped a beat. Could today’s events be related to her?
But then he thought, his mother had snuck out early in the morning and even brought Li Er to the riverbank. How could Su Yi have orchestrated all this?
He quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought.
Su Yi watched their backs, a sly smile playing on her lips.
The revenge for the fall into the water, she had finally avenged both the original owner and herself.
