Translator: 549690339

Xiao Yishan came running from behind, seeing the water slowly covering Su Qingyue’s waist, chest, and shoulders… Anxiously, he shouted, “Wife, don’t do anything foolish ! ”

“The Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law, don’t go into the river! Life is hard enough, don’t seek death!” Wang Cuihua, who was running behind, shouted at the top of her lungs.

From a distance, villagers saw and someone yelled, “Wife of the Xiao Family, life is still precious! Even ugliness can’t kill someone, why can’t you bear it?”

“Don’t walk further into the river, or you’ll drown!” Most villagers were kind-hearted. Those who gossiped in their free time didn’t really want a senseless death in the village.

Su Qingyue thought there was no one around. When the water covered her chest, it was so cold that her teeth chattered, and her injured internal organs ached.

Damn it, reason told her she shouldn’t bathe in such cold water. Her weak body couldn’t withstand it.

But she couldn’t bear her own filth any longer. Her arms wrapped around her chest in the water, and she walked deeper, preparing to undress and scrub her body as the water reached her neck.

The stiffened clothes soaked in the water, softened, and some of the stains dispersed in the water, giving off a dark gray hue.

Someone else’s long hair in the water would have swayed gently, but her hair, which had turned into strands of moldy vegetables, wouldn’t dissolve in the water, swaying like a motionless water snake.

She frowned, swearing in her heart to cleanse her body, from head to toe, from clothes to shoes and socks!

Upon second thought, she seemed to be wearing shoes on her bare feet, without socks.

It was true. They were so poor, how could they afford socks? Going barefoot was already better than nothing.

Not to worry, she was heading towards cleanliness…

She would have socks, a clean body, clothes, shoes—even a hat… someday.

As her hand lifted, before she rubbed her body, the pain in her internal organs suddenly intensified, causing her head to dip below the water’s surface.

She could swim and held her breath when her legs weakened, so she didn’t choke on water even when she was completely submerged.

Suddenly, she was lifted out of the water by a pair of strong arms, startling her. She gulped several mouthfuls of water, “gurgling” in the river.

Although the water was flowing, her clothes and hair were covered with dirt and filth. The water that had entered her mouth had all the grime mixed in! Fucking hell, now her internal organs were filthy too!

Her head went blank, and, driven by a survival instinct, she subconsciously tried to rush out of the water.

But someone was faster, and in an instant, she was pulled out of the water by a

pair 01 strong arms.

“Cough, cough…” As soon as she came in contact with the air, she started to cough violently.

“Wife, don’t die! If you have any problems, tell me, and I’ll stand by you!” Xiao Yishan anxiously said, concern written all over his face.

Su Qingyue stopped coughing for a moment, and glared at the person who had startled her into choking. She was so angry that she wanted to slap him to death. Seeing it was her second brother, and he looked so concerned, she couldn’t bring herself to slap him.

Noticing a crowd had gathered on the shore at some point, and more people were rushing over, she couldn’t help but feel exposed..
