Her face was distorted with pain, her eyes were wide open, and her expression of fear and pleading for help shocked everyone present.

Witnessing this scene, Su Yu turned back without hesitation. Her decisive figure cast a firm shadow in the sunlight.

At this moment, the old lady's face had turned from red to purple, and her situation became increasingly critical.

Su Yu shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

Her voice was like an arrow that broke through the ice, piercing through everyone's panic. Everyone made way for her. Although they were still filled with fear in their hearts, they still showed trust and expectations for Su Yu.

Su Yu jumped onto the ox cart in a few quick steps and swiftly hugged the trembling old lady from behind.

With sharp eyes, she accurately found the area two fingers above the old lady's belly button. She placed a fist there with one hand, covered it with the other hand, and lifted it up several times with precise and decisive force.

This series of actions was as smooth as flowing water, without any hesitation or delay.

Finally, as everyone watched with bated breath, a date flew out of the old lady's mouth like an arrow and fell heavily on the car board.

Upon seeing this, Su Yu immediately loosened his clenched hands, and the old lady was able to breathe smoothly again, and her face gradually regained its color.

Her tense body gradually relaxed, and her eyes revealed relief and gratitude for surviving the disaster.

Su Yu gently patted the old lady's back, and said in a gentle and caring tone: "Auntie, try not to laugh while eating in the future. It's very dangerous."

After saying that, she turned around, jumped out of the car, took a step forward and continued her journey, as if everything that had just happened was just a small episode in her daily life.

Looking at Su Yu's departing back, the old lady's face was filled with shame.

She recalled her previous coldness and rejection of Su Yu, and felt mixed emotions.

The surrounding villagers were also whispering at this moment, praising Su Yu for his act of saving lives.

"This girl is really amazing. She saved my wife in just a few moves."

A villager exclaimed.

"That's right. I think she is a kind girl. I guess we misunderstood her before."

Another villager also felt deeply touched.

However, Sister Xie glared at them and said sternly, "You have been gossiping all day long, and now you know that I am a good person? Didn't you exclude me just now?"

Her words were full of rebukes to the villagers for blindly following the trend and failing to distinguish right from wrong.

"Alas, we have no choice."

Several villagers explained awkwardly, "Who wants their man to be taken advantage of and almost get into a murder lawsuit?"

"Don't you think about how kind Jiang Youfu is? He broke into someone else's house in the middle of the night with a knife for no reason. I think he asked for it!"

Sister Xie was filled with righteous indignation and spoke in a powerful voice in support of Su Yu.

After hearing this, everyone chewed over Sister Xie's words and nodded in agreement: "That's right! Even though Auntie treated her like that just now, she still put aside her past grudges and lent a helping hand. This shows that she has good character."

Seeing this, Sister Xie was even more distressed and scolded: "You guys, you must have been blinded by greed. You can't even understand such a simple truth!"

Her words were filled with deep concern about the villagers' short-sightedness and prejudice.

Afterwards, Sister Xie picked up the basket and strode after Su Yu, leaving the villagers in deep thought.

Although no one refuted her remarks, everyone had a new understanding and reflection in their hearts.

And Su Yu continued to move forward silently. Her lonely and tenacious figure cast a long shadow in the sun, like a beam of light that illuminates people's hearts, silently telling of her kindness and bravery.

Sister Xie is well-known in the village. Her warm heart is like the warm sun in winter. No matter which family encounters difficulties, you can always see her busy figure, either donating generously or giving advice. Her wisdom and kindness are like a bright light, illuminating the way forward for the villagers.

Therefore, she enjoyed extremely high prestige in the village, her words were powerful, and people all respected her.

"Girl, wait for me!"

An urgent cry broke the tranquility of the countryside. Sister Xie's slightly old but still steady steps could not keep up with the fast-paced girl in front of her - Su Yu.

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her cheeks flushed, and she ran as hard as she could, but she could only watch Su Yu's figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

In desperation, she could only open her voice, hoping to call back the gust of wind-like figure.

When Su Yu heard the voice, she seemed to be stopped by an invisible force. She looked back with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

His bright eyes swept over Sister Xie's appearance of running hard, and he couldn't help but wonder: Why did this elder sister, who usually always rode leisurely in the ox cart, abandon the steady ox cart today and choose to chase him personally?

"Sister Xie, do you have something to ask me?"

Su Yu stopped and asked in a clear and polite voice.

Xie Qifen finally caught up with him, her breath still not calmed down. She stroked her chest with one hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other, panting and answering: "Girl, how can you walk so fast? I almost ran, but I still couldn't catch up with you."

In his words, there was both admiration for Su Yu's vigorous steps and self-mockery about his own old age and frailty.

Facing Sister Xie's scolding, Su Yu's expression remained calm, and his tone was as calm as a lake without wind, without any waves: "I'm used to it."

Just three words reveal her strong and independent character and her indifferent attitude towards life.

Xie Qifen knew very well that Su Yu's inner turmoil had not subsided because of her apparent calmness, and she was still brooding over the conflict with Zhao earlier.

So, she slowed down her speech and patiently explained in the gentlest tone: "Don't blame them. You and Zhao had a big fight, and we were kind enough to help you catch the thief, but who knew that the man was her son, and we almost got him... Hey, anyone would think too much."

After hearing this, Su Yu stopped walking, stared into the distance, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "You mean, everyone thinks that I deliberately set up a trap to frame Jiang Youfu and want to put him to death, so I came up with this method to let the villagers help me out, and in the end they will take the blame?"

Xie Qifen nodded slightly and admitted this chilling fact: "Everyone is talking about you privately, saying that you are scheming and clever. In this way, even if Jiang Youfu is in trouble, it will not be linked to you. It is clear that you are using us as your 'knife'. No wonder everyone is resentful of you."

The truth pierced Su Yu's heart like a sharp sword, and she instantly understood why the villagers were so cold and distant to her today.

However, she did not rush to defend herself. Although her initial motivation was simply to make Jiang Youfu pay for his crimes rather than put the blame on others, the reality did evolve as the villagers had guessed.

In that case, she chose to endure it silently, allowing the misunderstanding to weigh on her heart like a huge rock.
