You are unlucky and I am tough

"My rabbit." Wei Jincai shouted anxiously, "You loser, compensate me for my rabbit."

"That's my rabbit." Wei Xinyi put her hands on her hips. "No way you want to eat my rabbit! I'd rather let it run away than give it to you. Humph..."

"you......."

The meat he had got was gone, and Wei Jincai's chest was heaving with anger. He suddenly rushed over and pushed Wei Xinyi with all his strength.

Although the two were of the same age, Wei Jincai was a stronger boy, while Wei Xinyi was naturally thin and had little flesh. After being pushed hard, she took several steps back.

Behind her was the largest well in the village, which was more than six feet wide. After hitting the edge of the well, she fell backward and fell headfirst into the water with a splash.

"what........"

A group of children nearby suddenly screamed in fear, and several older children shouted, "Someone fell into the well, someone fell into the well."

At this time, unless they are lazy, the adults in every household are working in the fields. Two old people came out from the two nearest households.

"Wei Xinyi fell in."

Several children shouted in panic. When the two old people heard it, they hurried to the well. When they got there, they saw the children struggling in the water.

"Oh my God, someone come quickly, a child fell into the well."

"Go call someone."

The two old men were too old to save the man, so they threw the rope from the well down and shouted, "Hurry up and grab it!"

Zhao Xiuwen has been studying hard at home for some time. Today, he felt a little bored, so he took a book out and strolled around the village to relax. He met Cheng Chen, Cheng Xu and Song Qi playing outside, so he went over to chat with them and asked them when they would go to school.

Cheng Chen said that he would wait until the end of the month for the private schools in the city to recruit students, and also said that Cheng Shuang had been teaching him arithmetic recently. He took a branch and wrote the multiplication table for Zhao Xiuwen on the ground as if presenting a treasure.

Zhao Xiuwen was squatting on the ground studying it with great interest when he suddenly heard someone shouting that a child had fallen into a well.

Song Qi, who had been following the brothers, ran the fastest. He rushed to the well, took a look, and immediately shouted, "It's the Third Miss, go call someone."

Then he immediately jumped in to save her. Zhao Xiuwen rushed over and pulled him back. He glanced into the well and saw that Wei Xinyi had lost her strength to struggle and was sinking.

Without thinking too much, Zhao Xiuwen threw away the book in his hand and jumped down.

Seeing this, Cheng Chen ran home to call for help, and Song Qi immediately followed.

In the Wei family courtyard, everyone was busy with their own things. Cheng Guqiu and his two daughters were cutting clothes in the room. Cheng Shuang had told them to make whatever they wanted with the materials that Prefect Zhu had given them, so they made clothes as long as they had time. They had already made two or three sets for each person in the family.

Cheng Pan was learning accounting in the room, Wei Nanxing was writing a letter to his master He Zhou, Aunt Peng was busy in the kitchen, and Peng Xiangsui was drying the quilts.

After cleaning up the chicken coop, Wu Junniang came back and told Cheng Shuang that she was going to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables, saying that wild vegetables were especially delicious when fried with lard.

Cheng Shuang was also tempted by her words, so she asked her to go to Yunxi Mountain to dig some wild vegetables. There were many wild vegetables there, so she should pick the tenderest ones.

Wei Qinglang was sitting in the yard drawing patterns for soap molds, preparing to design a few and ask a carpenter to make hundreds of them.

In this quiet and peaceful moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and two people rushed in.

Cheng Chen was so anxious that he almost cried, and shouted, "Brother-in-law, Sister Xinyi fell into the well."

"what!"

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang in the yard exclaimed at the same time, Wei Nanxing also rushed out of the room in an instant, and the two brothers ran out.

"The largest well in the middle of the village."

Song Qi chased after them and told them their location, and Wei Qinglang and Wei Nanxing left the people behind far behind in a blink of an eye.

When Cheng Shuang and other family members arrived, the Wei Qinglang brothers were lowering a rope into the well. She rushed over breathlessly and lay down beside the well. She saw two people in the well. Zhao Xiuwen was holding Wei Xinyi with one hand and holding the crack in the well wall with the other hand.

She breathed a sigh of relief and heard her heart pounding wildly, which almost scared her to death.

Both people in the well were obviously exhausted. Zhao Xiuwen couldn't let go and tie the rope around Wei Xinyi, nor did he have the strength to hold on to the rope so that the people above could pull them up.

After trying for a while, Wei Qinglang couldn't wait any longer and climbed down with his hands on the wall of the well. When he was halfway down, he jumped directly in, then tied the rope lowered from above to Wei Xinyi and pulled her up first.

"It's coming up, it's coming up."

After learning that a child had fallen into the well, more and more people gathered around the well, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the child being pulled out.

Cheng Shuang quickly hugged the soaked Wei Xinyi and patted her on the back a few times. Wei Xinyi suddenly started coughing and spat out several mouthfuls of water. Her whole body was cold and she was sobbing and trembling.

Cheng Lizheng also arrived and squeezed into the crowd, anxiously asking, "What happened? How could a healthy child fall into the well?"

Wei Changgui came with the village head. When he saw that it was his daughter who fell into the well, his expression did not change.

He has been busy selling his family's land these days. Although the village sold a hill to Wei Qinglang and he got more than twenty taels, it was still not enough for business, so he decided to sell all the land.

But no one in the village wanted to buy the land, so he set his sights on Wei Qinglang, thinking that this little bastard had bought so many people and could take over any amount of land.

So Wei Changgui has been pestering the village head these days, wanting him to help sell his family's 15 acres of land to Wei Qinglang.

"It was Wei Jincai," a child who witnessed the incident shouted, "I saw him push Sister Xinyi down."

Wei Jincai, who was already frightened, shrank his neck and said, "I didn't mean to do that. I just pushed her lightly. She lost her balance."

Wei Nanxing's face had turned pale with fear and he hadn't recovered yet. When he heard these words, his eyes instantly became terribly cold and he stood up and was about to go over.

Cheng Shuang held him back and shook her head, "You and Pan'er take Xinyi back to change clothes first, and leave this here to me and your brother."

Zhao Xiuwen was quickly pulled up, and finally a rope was let down to pull up Wei Qinglang. Cheng Fu called a few young men to help pull the rope.

Zhao Xiuwen was soaked and pale, with several bloody scratches on his wrists on the wall of the well.

Cheng Shuang didn't care about the difference between men and women. She went over and asked him to bend forward, then reached out and patted his back rhythmically. After a while, Zhao Xiuwen coughed out all the water he had choked on.

Soon Wei Qinglang also came out of the well. Apart from being soaked, he looked fine. He went over to Zhao Xiuwen and thanked him. "Brother Zhao, thank you so much today. You saved my sister. I owe you my life."

Zhao Xiuwen waved his hand weakly, "Brother Wei, you are too kind."

The well water was too cold. Zhao Xiuwen was going to take the imperial examination in more than a month. If his illness delayed his studies and examinations, they would be guilty of a great sin. Cheng Shuang quickly asked Cheng Fu to help send the man back first, saying that she would come over to see him later and prescribe some medicine to prevent him from catching a cold.

After Zhao Xiuwen was helped away, Cheng Shuang turned around and glared at Wei Jincai with cold eyes, "You are nine years old, not a three-year-old child. Pushing someone down the well is murder, do you know?"

Wei Jincai was frightened by Cheng Shuang's eyes. He ran over to Wei Changgui and hid behind him. "Grandpa, it's none of my business. Wei Xinyi was the first to grab my rabbit, so I just pushed her gently."

Cheng Lizheng asked the children in the village in a deep voice, "What happened? If anyone saw it, please tell me."

Several children who saw it passing by started talking about how they saw two people fighting over a rabbit, and then the rabbit ran away, and Wei Jincai pushed Wei Xinyi, and the person fell into the well.

Wei Jincai clung to Wei Changgui tightly, and even though he was afraid, he still insisted, "Wei Xinyi was trying to steal my rabbit, so I pushed her."

"Do you have a rabbit at home?"

Wei Qinglang suppressed his anger, his eyes filled with disgust. "Just ask around in the village and you'll know. Xinyi's been taking the rabbit out to play lately. Who's stealing it?"

Several of the onlookers immediately said they had seen Wei Xinyi carrying a rabbit out to play, and several children also said they had seen rabbits at Wei's house.

Wei Changgui saw the situation in front of him and looked at Wei Qinglang's gloomy face, knowing that he was really angry. Thinking that he had to sell the land to give him the money to do business, he immediately raised his hand and slapped Wei Jincai hard in the face.

"Who told you to do this, you bastard? You even learned to lie. I'm going to beat you to death."

He slapped and kicked him without showing any mercy. Wei Jincai burst into tears.

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang were both confused by his operation. This eldest grandson was Wei Changgui's favorite on weekdays, and now he would beat him no matter what.

The two looked at each other and were puzzled at the same time. What evil thing was this old guy planning?
