I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Feng stood on the bank and looked into the water. He saw that Su Hanzhang was nowhere to be seen on the surface of the river. He could only see a spot in the middle of the river where bubbles were bubbling.

Su Feng frowned and pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh no! Uncle Hanzhang wasn't swimming, he must have accidentally fallen into the water!"

Thinking this, Su Feng took off his shoes and backpack, and shouted at the water's surface.

"Su Mo, don't be afraid, I'll rescue our father and take him back right away!"

After saying that, he plunged into the river. Fortunately, Su Feng had loved swimming since he was a child, and he was quite familiar with this river. He found Su Hanzhang in no time, but Su Hanzhang had already fainted from choking on water.

Su Feng used all his strength to drag him to the shore, and it took him a great deal of effort to lift the unconscious Su Hanzhang ashore. Fortunately, Su Hanzhang was thin and weak, and Su Feng was in his prime and had considerable strength.

The thought of Su Mo's face fueled his boundless energy, which is why Su Feng managed to save Su Hanzhang's life.

As soon as Su Feng got ashore, he didn't care about anything else. He put on his shoes, slung the patched schoolbag his mother had made over his shoulder, and hoisted Su Hanzhang onto his back, heading towards Old Su's house. At this moment, taking Su Hanzhang to Old Su's house was much more meaningful than catching a bucket of fish.

Su Feng happily carried Su Hanzhang and walked briskly forward, humming a little tune as he went. He wished Su Hanzhang could jump into the river a few more times, so that he could have more opportunities to meet Su Mo.

Soon, Su Feng arrived at the gate of Old Su's house. Seeing that the gate was tightly closed, he hurriedly called out to those inside:

"Su Mo, are you home? I brought your dad back to you!"

Su Mo, who was collecting clothes in the yard, heard Su Feng's voice and jumped up. She hurriedly walked to the door and asked timidly:

"who is it?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's voice, Su Feng became immediately excited.

"Su Mo, it's me, your brother Feng! Open the door quickly! Your dad jumped into the river! I just pulled him out, and we don't know if he's alive or dead yet!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was startled. Su Hanzhang had indeed gone out and hadn't returned. Su Feng wouldn't lie about something like this, so she hurriedly opened the courtyard gate and saw Su Feng, soaking wet, carrying the unconscious Su Hanzhang on his shoulder.

Startled, Su Mo dropped the clothes she was holding and exclaimed:

"Mother, elder brother, come out quickly! Father, Father has fallen into the water!"

At that moment, Wang Guihua heard Su Mo's shouts. Without even bothering to put on her coat, she rushed out wearing only a thin undershirt and slippers.

Although Wang Guihua said she was angry with Su Hanzhang, she still couldn't let him go in her heart.

After all, it was Wang Guihua who was captivated by the way Su Hanzhang worked when she first met him in his youth, and then she rushed to marry into the Su family without asking for a dowry.

Although Wang Guihua sometimes complained about how the Su family treated the second wife, she never regretted marrying Su Hanzhang.

Upon hearing that Su Hanzhang had fallen into the water, she was more anxious than anyone else. Seeing her mother rushing out, Su Banxia quickly grabbed her coat and followed her out of the house, first draping the coat over Wang Guihua's shoulders.

He then spoke to Su Feng, who was still carrying Su Hanzhang and refused to put him down:

"Su Feng, quickly lay my father flat on the ground. He's probably choked on water. We need to drain the water out of his stomach for him to survive!"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Granny Liu and Old Man Su put on their coats and came out. Seeing a crowd gathered in the yard, they impatiently stepped forward and began to curse:

"Why are you all making such a racket in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Granny Liu pushed through the crowd and saw Su Hanzhang lying unconscious on the ground. At this moment, she was really scared. She was afraid that Su Hanzhang would really die like this, and then Wang Guihua would remarry with her three children. Wouldn't the Su family have been supporting the second wife's family for so long for nothing?

Of course, Granny Liu was also worried that after Su Hanzhang died, there would be no one to take on the chores for the entire Su family. In fact, she had seen Su Hanzhang's contributions over the years.

At first, she thought it was because her second son was sensible and filial that he helped with so many chores at home. But as time went on, she felt that it was only natural for the second son's family to do all these things, so she stopped saying anything.

Now that Su Hanzhang is dying young, she can't count on any of her remaining sons. The eldest is a gambler, the third is lazy and good-for-nothing, the fourth is good at studying but not very well, and the fifth is about to get married. All things considered, she and her husband can only rely on the second son's family in the future.

If Su Hanzhang were to pass away before her, she feared she would have no hope for the rest of her life. Thinking this, Granny Liu began to wail loudly.

"My son, you mustn't die! If you die, take me with you!"

As she spoke, Granny Liu shoved Wang Guihua, who was standing guard in front, aside.

"Get out of my way! You're the jinx that killed my son! It's you who ruined the Su family! And the children you gave birth to are all bastards! You're just a jinx!"

At this moment, Su Banxia, ​​who was performing first aid on Su Hanzhang, frowned upon hearing Granny Liu's unpleasant words.

"You old hag, your son isn't dead yet, what are you wailing about? If you want your son to come back to life, get the hell out of my way and don't get in the way of my saving him!"

As she spoke, Su Banxia called out to Su Shiyan and Su Mo:

"Big brother, little sister, stop standing there like idiots! Get everyone out of here! Don't let anyone come near and bother me! Otherwise, our father will die in this yard tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan and Su Mo seemed to have found their backbone and hurriedly pulled everyone back a dozen steps. Seeing this, Su Feng also helped Su Mo to shoo people away.

Meanwhile, Su Banxia frantically pressed on Su Hanzhang's abdomen and lungs, finally managing to expel the water from his mouth and stomach.

Su Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. Sure enough, this body was still too weak. It seemed she would need to work on it more in the future.

Su Banxia waved weakly at Su Shiyan.

"Brother, Dad won't die. Quickly go inside and change his wet clothes. Then build a fire to warm him up. He should be fine after a good night's sleep."

When the people in the courtyard heard that Su Hanzhang was not dead, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Su Hanzhang was an indispensable servant of the Su family. If he had died, all the dirty and tiring work of the Su family would have fallen to others.
