Chapter 174: Saving Someone From the Pond

There was a small pond in front of the cardboard factory, not very big, and the water wasn’t that deep.

Of course, the depth of the water depends on who you are talking about!

For children, it’s quite deep.

Li Tengfei ran all the way screaming, because everyone at the cardboard factory had already gotten off work, and he could only run back for help.

There was a shortcut from the camp’s family housing area to the cardboard factory, and Li Xinyue, who lived closest to the road, was the first to hear his cries.

“Something’s happened, Ma Zhen! Yier, Yier!”

Suddenly remembering that her son had gone out to play, Li Xinyue was terrified and ran off immediately!

Ma Zhen was also a little scared and immediately chased after her: “Li Tengfei, who fell into the pond?”

Li Tengfei heard someone calling him: “It’s Kangkang, Kangkang fell into the pond!”

Wang Lijuan and Wu Liang’s son?

Li Xinyue’s tense nerves instantly relaxed, but she didn’t slow down.

She had issues with the adults, but not with the children.

They ran fast and were the first to reach the edge of the pond, where they saw a group of children gathered around!

Li Xinyue rushed in: “Where did he fall in? Did you see him?”

The children were relieved when they saw the adults arrive.

One child pointed to the water: “He’s there, look, he’s there!”

Sure enough, the water was moving.

Li Xinyue didn’t hesitate: “Ma Zhen, there’s a bamboo pole over there, quickly pick it up and give it to me, I’ll go down first!”

The water wasn’t deep, but Li Xinyue didn’t know if there was any mud at the bottom of the pond.

Saving the child was a necessity, but she didn’t want to risk her own life.

Ma Zhen understood and turned back to run, quickly picking up a bamboo pole: “Xinyue, be careful!”

By this time, Li Xinyue had already entered the pond, and she felt the solid ground beneath her feet.

She immediately waved to Ma Zhen: “It’s fine here, don’t worry.”

Then, she reached out to grab the child…

The water reached Li Xinyue’s neck, and she finally touched the child.

She lifted the child up: “Found him!”

Just then, a lot of people came rushing from all directions!

“Kangkang, Kangkang!”

Wang Lijuan had already heard Li Tengfei and the other children shouting, but she hadn’t considered for a moment that it was her son.

She even hoped it was Li Xinyue’s son.

But just as that thought crossed her mind, Xu Hongqin knocked on her door…

Seeing that Li Xinyue had found the child, Ma Zhen stood on the shore and shouted: “Xinyue, give me the child!”

Li Xinyue immediately lifted the child up: “Ma Zhen, quickly! He swallowed a lot of water!”

“Let him lie on your lap, quickly press out the water, there’s still hope!”

“Yes!”

Ma Zhen was a soldier, she knew this basic knowledge.

Taking the child, she knelt down on one leg…

“Kangkang, Kangkang… Aaaah…”

“My son, who hurt you… who did this!”

What kind of person is this!

Not caring about her son’s life or death, but instead trying to find a “culprit” to blame?

Li Xinyue felt extreme contempt for Wang Lijuan. Seeing that the child had already coughed up some water, she said: “Ma Zhen, quickly lay him flat!”

“Yes!”

“What are you doing? Give me the child, I’m taking him to the hospital!”

Seeing Li Xinyue taking off the child’s clothes, Wang Lijuan rushed forward.

This woman was so annoying!

If it weren’t for the child being innocent, Li Xinyue wouldn’t bother saving his life.

“Ma Zhen, make her shut up!”

“If she doesn’t want her son to die, tell her to back off!”

The hospital was so far away, the golden hour was crucial!

Ma Zhen understood: “Assistant Wu’s family, you quickly move away a little!”

“Xinyue is saving your son, if you want your son to live, shut your mouth!”

Xinyue is saving her son?

How could she possibly save her son?

At this moment, Li Xinyue had already knelt down on the ground.

After checking the child’s mouth and nose, she immediately began performing CPR…

“How is he? How is he? Is the child alright?”

A large crowd gathered around.

Ma Zhen immediately spread her arms to block them: “Everyone, please don’t crowd. The family of the battalion commander is rescuing the child.”

“Please be quiet and keep your own children under control. Don’t let anyone fall in again!”

Hearing that Li Xinyue was saving the child, the pondside instantly fell silent.

“Cough… cough… cough…”

Finally, the child on the ground coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes…

“He’s fine, he’s fine, that’s great!”

Xu Hongqin shouted.

“Kangkang, Kangkang… woo woo woo…”

Wang Lijuan rushed over, holding her son and crying.

Wu Liang remained silent because he had no face to speak.

He had just reported her in the morning, and in the evening, she saved his son. How could he face her?

Li Xinyue stood up: “Take him to the hospital for a check-up. The child may have been frightened!”

Her son was alive, and Wang Lijuan remembered her ‘main business’.

“Kangkang, tell me, who pushed you into the pond? Tell me quickly!”

Everyone looked at her with contempt…

What kind of person is this?

At this time, Li Tengfei spoke: “He wanted to go down himself. He said there were lotus roots in the pond, and that the candied lotus root was delicious.”

“He said we hadn’t eaten it, that it was the best thing in the world, and he wanted to dig some lotus roots up for you to make candied lotus root.”

“We told him the pond was very deep and he shouldn’t go down, but he wouldn’t listen.”

Wang Lijuan: “….”

That was the candied lotus root her cousin brought yesterday, made in the canteen … her son loved sweets!

“Impossible! He wouldn’t dare go down in such deep water.”

“Kangkang, tell me, did someone push you down?”

“Shut up!”

Wu Liang’s face burned like charcoal, turning red to black.

Wang Lijuan refused to give up: “Kangkang, Kangkang, speak up, Mommy will get you justice!”

This person?

Li Xinyue saw her son being led by Fangfang, and with her wet clothes, she turned and left.

Ma Zhen gave Wu Liang a mocking smile: “Assistant Wu, your wife is quite interesting!”

“Yiyi, come home with Auntie, I’ll make you something delicious tonight!”

Hearing about delicious food, Chen Yiyi immediately let go of Li Fangfang’s hand and ran towards Ma Zhen…

Wu Liang’s face was ashen, and he snatched his son away, striding away.

The crowd dispersed, and people left.

Soon, the incident of the child falling into the water and Li Xinyue saving him spread throughout the army.

“What? That girl knows how to do CPR? She’s amazing!”

Director Xiao was on his way home from work when Political Commissar Zhou told him about it.

“Yes, it seems that Battalion Commander Chen’s wife is not simple!”

“She not only has skills, but also a broad mind!”

Yes!

A broad mind!

Such a thing, let alone a woman, even a man might not be able to immediately forget the grudge!

“That kid, he’s lucky!”

Political Commissar Zhou nodded: “I heard that Battalion Commander Chen didn’t like Xiao Li at first, and he was forced to marry her?”

Director Xiao nodded: “That’s right.”

“Xiao Li’s grandfather was seriously injured while saving Chen Mingchuan’s father and died.

“I heard that Little Li admired soldiers very much when she was young, and she wanted to marry a soldier. This guy happened to be a soldier.”

“For this reason, Li’s grandfather asked for this marriage for her before he died.”

Repaying kindness, isn’t that right?

Political Commissar Zhou was a bit confused: “Old Xiao, does Battalion Commander Chen’s political consciousness have a problem?”

“Not repaying kindness, as a soldier, isn’t that a bit unqualified?”
