After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"Liu Xiaojing, I will definitely not treat you well when you return to your parents' home!" Zhang Lian spitted out. "Your parents raised you for so many years, and you messed around with a man, got yourself pregnant, and ruined your value! I'd rather raise a sow than a sow. A sow can give birth, but what can you do?"

She said whatever came to her mind without even thinking.

Liu Xiaojing was so angry that his chest hurt, "You...you..."

After all, she is young and her fighting ability is not as good as Zhang Lian. Zhang Lian can say those dirty words, but she can't say them out loud.

"Get out of here!" Feng Jing'an picked up the broom on the ground and hit Zhang Lian. "Get out of here! You are not welcome in our house. Don't come here again!"

Zhang Lian cursed, "Shameless bastard! You and Liu Xiaojing are a perfect match. You're getting a woman pregnant before you're even married. You're a piece of shit!"

Now it was the turn of the two elders of the Feng family to be unhappy. Zhang Lian could scold anyone but not their precious child.

"Get her out!" Feng Datong shouted, "Quick, stop this biting dog from barking here!"

Zhang Lian was driven out by Feng Jing'an, but she didn't stop talking and kept cursing Liu Xiaojing.

Ye Xunqing whispered, "Ah Heng, go get the slingshot."

Feng Jingheng and his friends use slingshots to shoot pheasants and flying birds, so they always have slingshots at home.

"I'll go." Feng Jingheng walked back into the house to get the slingshot.

Then he climbed up the wall and hit Zhang Lian in the mouth, causing her mouth to bleed immediately and breaking half of her teeth.

After the fight, Feng Jingheng quickly retreated without being noticed by Zhang Lian.

"Who did it?" Zhang Lian covered her mouth and shouted.

Liu Xiaojing said, "Our village is protected by gods. If you mess with us again, you will never come back!"

Zhang Lian thought about what had happened recently in Yejia Village and was still a little panicked. "You're talking nonsense. Where are the gods?" Although she said that, Zhang Lian still ran away.

The farce was over, and Ye Xunqing was just about to go back to eat when he heard someone shouting outside: "Oh no, oh no, Ye Ergen's wife jumped into the river!"

Liu Xiaojing quickly rushed to the door and asked, "Who jumped into the river?"

A young woman came and shouted, "Xiuniang, Xiuniang has jumped into the river!"

Ye Xunqing also chased out, "Why did you jump into the river?"

"How would I know? I just saw her running to the river, and then her husband's family and her own family followed behind. When they reached the Pengshui River, she jumped in!" The woman said, "The river is so deep, it's very dangerous!"

Ye Xunqing made a prompt decision, "Ah Heng, go ask the fisherman for the key to the fishing boat, get a few fishing nets, and then meet us at the river."

Feng Jingheng threw the slingshot to the corner of the wall and said, "Okay, don't go into the water. The water has been rising these days."

After several autumn rains, the Pengshui River rose a bit. Although it was not as high as the previous flood season, it was still easy to drown a few people.

There were a lot of people gathered by the river, including men, women, young and old.

The one who cried the loudest was Xiuniang's daughter Luzhu. Her father had just died, and if her mother died now, she would be an orphan from then on.

"Mom, mom..." Luzhu wanted to jump into the river, but was hugged by Grandma Three.

"Xunqing, come here quickly and hold this girl. She is too strong and I can't handle it." When the third grandmother saw Ye Xunqing coming, she immediately called him to help.

Ye Xunqing hugged Luzhu and held her in his arms, not letting her look into the water. "It's okay, it's okay, Luzhu, your mother will be fine."

Luzhu couldn't hear a word, she just kept crying out: "I want my mother, I want my mother!"

The men in the village had taken off their clothes and were fishing in the water with long bamboo poles, but the river was very deep and the current was fast, so they couldn't get anything out.

A man fished for a while and then shouted to the shore: "No, the river is too fast and too deep. I'm afraid the person has been swept away by the current. We have to go downstream to retrieve him."

A middle-aged man shouted, "Then go downstream!"

The man said, "It's cold, and the river water is icy. We can't keep fishing like this!"

"Then come up." A woman squatted down and shouted, "The person must be lost, don't let yourself be swept away by the water! Whoever did this evil thing should go down and fish it out." After saying this, she glanced at the men standing nearby and said, "Bah, you didn't come when Xiuniang asked that damned man to chop her up, and now that the damned man is dead, you're here to force her to remarry, right? Now you've lost both your money and your life!"

One of Xiuniang's brothers cursed, "Why are we forcing her? How can it be easy for a woman like her to raise a child? We're here to discuss things. Besides, that family is very rich. How could we harm our sister?"

"You didn't harm her?" the woman was furious. "If you hadn't harmed her, how could you have married her to that beast Ye Ergen?"

"That's because she's incapable of managing men." Another so-called "brother" spoke up, "Why don't other men gamble, but only hers?"

Ye Xunqing was so furious after hearing these twisted theories. If there weren't so many people here today, he would have kicked these shameless men into the river and let them feel what it was like to be in the company of fish and shrimp.

Feng Jingheng got the key and fishing net from Yu Bo. After hearing the news, Yu Bo also said that he would come to help them find the person. So Feng Jingheng and Yu Bo took two men from the village and went down the river by boat.

The fishing boat went downstream, three people were fishing with long bamboo poles, and one person was using a fishing net.

But they struggled for several hours, from Yejia Village to Wangjia Village, and then back, until the moon came out, but they still couldn't find anyone.

The people on the shore had long since dispersed, and only Ye Xunqing and his friends were still waiting here with poor little Dewdrop.

Luzhu had no strength left to cry. She lay in Liu Xiaojing's arms and fell asleep with tears still in the corners of her eyes.

Feng Jingheng and his men came out of the river with their fishing nets torn and bamboo poles broken, but there was no sign of the person they were looking for.

"Let's go back." Ye Xunqing felt very heavy. "It's so cold, and the water is so fast. They should have been washed away long ago."

Feng Jingheng sighed and said, "Just when things were about to get better, I didn't expect something unexpected to happen again."

The third grandmother came over with a lantern and brought them some hot cakes. "Eat some to fill your stomach. Your little brother made them."

"Xiao Yan?" Ye Xunqing took one and ate it. "Tsk, he should go back to writing."

It wasn't cooked yet, but he didn't care whether it was cooked or not now, he was really hungry.

"Didn't you find her?" Grandma Three looked at the sparkling river in the moonlight, feeling very upset. "Oh, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her go out."

"What's going on?" Ye Xunqing frowned and asked, "Why did Sister Xiuniang jump into the river? What's going on with her family?"
