Chapter 203: The Girl in the 8s Who Was Schemed by Her Stepmother and Stepdaughter (2)
Naturally, there were also some knowledgeable military wives who disagreed with Zhu Guifen's words.
But after all, it is someone else's family affair, so they naturally won't interrupt casually.
Of course, there are also some military wives who think that what Zhu Guifen said is correct. Isn’t the purpose of studying more to find a good job and have a secure future?
But before they could agree with Zhu Guifen, they both immediately confronted her.
"Humph! Since the job is so good, why do you still want Qin Xiao'e to go to college?
That's a waste of my dad's money! I might as well just let her go to work!"
"Well...our Xiao'e has good grades. Since she got admitted, she will naturally go to school."
"Well, my dad is rich, so I can repeat the exam as many times as I want. If I fail, I can just keep repeating until I'm 30, so what?
What does it have to do with you? Why are you here to complain? Humph! "
Then Shuangshuang ignored her angrily and looked like she was going out for a walk to relax.
When Qin Xiao'e saw Shuangshuang getting ready to go out, she immediately spoke to Shuangshuang in an attentive manner.
"You've been here for so long, but you haven't really taken a good look at the surrounding scenery, right?
I'll show you the way. The scenery in the next village is very good right now."
Little Orange immediately warned, "Your Highness, be careful! She has discussed this with Liu Chengjie and is planning to trick you!"
"Let's see who gets buried in the pit in the end."
When the two of them left the compound, they met several young men and women of the same age as Qin Xiao'e.
When they heard Qin Xiao'e say that she was taking Shuangshuang to see the scenery, they all wanted to go together.
This was exactly what Qin Xiaoe wanted, but she still asked Shuangshuang hypocritically, "What do you think?"
Shuangshuang also felt that the more people there were, the better, so she naturally looked indifferent and everyone went out together.
Qin Xiao'e introduced the so-called scenery to Shuangshuang along the way, and intentionally or unintentionally walked towards the river where the original owner saved Liu Chengjie from falling into the water.
Although Shuangshuang looked like there was nothing interesting here, just like home, she still followed Qin Xiaoe's wishes and went to the river.
Sure enough, as soon as I got there, I saw a person splashing in the water from a distance.
The original owner jumped into the water to save people without thinking, and didn't even notice Liu Chengjie's splashing face, even though he could obviously swim.
Seeing this, a group of young people ran over quickly and started shouting for help in panic.
Qin Xiao'e also looked frightened. After running around for a while, she saw that Shuangshuang didn't move.
He rushed to her side again, grabbed both of her arms and pushed them into the water.
"Shuangshuang, can't you swim? Go down and save them."
Shuangshuang immediately broke free from her hand and glared at her again.
"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say I could swim?
Besides, just because I can swim does that mean I have to go down and die?
If you are so kind, why don't you go into the water yourself?"
"This, this, this... I can't swim, right?"
"What's wrong with not being able to swim?!
The ancients said that we should always have the courage to sacrifice and devote ourselves, right?!
What it means is, even if you die, you must first rescue your companions!"
Shuangshuang's words left Qin Xiao'e at a loss.
She has always been selfish, how could she have such a spirit of self-sacrifice?
But now they are both being held up, and I have no choice but to save them.
She could only look at the others helplessly, hoping someone could help her out.
However, no one else dared to look her in the eye.
Although it sounds good to be brave enough to sacrifice oneself, how many people can do it when it really comes to that?
Shuangshuang sneered, "Since you can't do it yourself, don't be so generous to others and act like a good person next time!"
These words made Qin Xiao'e blush instantly, and the others also avoided looking at her. No one dared to look at Shuangshuang.
Although Shuangshuang would not go into the water to save people, she still had to pretend to do so in front of everyone.
After looking around for a while, I saw a bamboo pole on the shore, which I didn't know whose it was, used to drive ducks.
He quickly ran over to pick it up and stretched it towards Liu Chengjie.
He shouted loudly, "Comrade, hold on to the bamboo pole, I'll pull you up!"
When the others saw this, they no longer cared about being embarrassed or awkward, and they all went over to help and shouted into the water.
"Right, right, right, Liu Chengjie, hold on tight, we'll pull you up together!"
Liu Chengjie had originally agreed with Qin Xiaoe that they would both go down to save him, and he would use Shuangshuang's strength to hold her up together.
However, he didn't expect that Shuangshuang would not go into the water at all. He had no choice but to grab the bamboo pole and prepare to get ashore with the help of everyone.
However, Shuangshuang did not intend to let him escape so easily, but quietly extended a few roots from under his feet.
It quickly passed through the water, suddenly wrapped around his ankles, and pulled him down with force.
Liu Chengjie suddenly felt something pulling him down.
In an instant, all that flashed through his mind were the ghost stories and legends that he had often heard from the old people out of curiosity.
Especially the story of the water ghost looking for a substitute, which appeared clearly in my mind.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and the more panicked I became. For a moment, I even forgot that I could swim.
I never thought of diving down to see what was wrapped around my foot.
Instead, he just screamed for help and his hands and feet started thrashing around.
"Help! Help! There's a water ghost holding my feet."
This time the shouting was much more sincere than the previous one.
That look made Shuangshuang nod secretly. This was more like a drowning person. He was just teasing everyone like before.
The roots exerted force again, pulling him slowly to the bottom of the water, which frightened him so much that he floundered even more and subconsciously used his hands to pull himself up.
But how could his strength be as great as Shuangshuang's?
Shuangshuang deliberately loosened her grip, waiting for him to pull up a little bit, and then pulled him slowly into the water, frightening him so much that his face turned pale and he started screaming.
Qin Xiao'e was frightened when she saw that Liu Chengjie's struggle did not seem like an act.
She just wanted Liu Chengjie to cooperate with her in a play, but she didn't really want to take his life.
She was so frightened that she no longer dared to be perfunctory as before, and she also screamed loudly.
"Hurry, save people!
Who among you can swim? Go down and save him! "
Everyone else shook their heads. Not to mention that they couldn't swim, even if they could, they wouldn't dare go in such deep water after seeing Liu Chengjie like this.
Seeing that Liu Chengjie was exhausted and began to sink, Shuangshuang pushed the bamboo pole forward a little so that he could hold on.
They continued to pull him down and let him drink a few more sips of water. Then they let go and let everyone work together to pull him ashore.
I think after this experience, he will never dare to have such bad ideas again.
