Baozi Xishi's Struggle

When Li saw Qian Yinhu leave, she felt relieved. After hearing what the woman said, she understood what was going on. She hurriedly dropped the rolling pin in her hand and helped Shen Yu to lift the woman and the child up. She also took the large silk handkerchief tied on the edge of her apron and helped the woman and the child to dust off the dirt.

The big man was watching from the side and knew that the girl in front of him was the one who saved his son that day.

He strode over and said gratefully, "Miss, you are the one who saved Qiqi that day. I cannot repay you for your kindness. Please accept my respect."

As he said this, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Shen Yu felt a headache. He had finally pulled the woman and the child up from the ground, and now another one came. Why did they all like to kowtow and bow so much?

The big man was quite tall, and he bowed down like an iron tower. Shen Yu instinctively took a step back. After reacting, she had to squat and bow, saying: "My dear, please stop bowing. It's embarrassing for me."

The big man insisted on bowing down, and Shen Yu had no choice but to accept his greeting with a red face.

It was time to close the market, but the stall owners around were not in a hurry to close their stalls. Instead, they all watched this family with interest.

Guests who knew the big man also stopped to join in the fun, whispering to the people next to them: "This is the head of the Anping County Court. I heard he is very powerful. The county magistrate always treats him with great courtesy when he sees him."

The young woman had tears in her eyes at this time. She said to Shen Yu with a smile and tears in her eyes: "Good girl, it made it easy for me to find you. That day you saved my Qiqi and then turned around and left."

The woman choked up and said, "At that time, I was only anxious to see if Qiqi was injured, and I didn't ask where you lived. After Qiqi fell into the water, he got a fever when he returned. Fortunately, he took a few doses of medicine and got better in the past few days. I didn't have to stay with him all the time, so I asked around for the girl's residence, but I didn't find out."

As she spoke, she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with some relief: "Yesterday I heard from Liu Sanjiang who was patrolling the streets at the market that he met the girl here, and then I knew where the girl was. Today, I rushed here with my husband and Qiqi, and I must thank you in person." As she spoke, she bowed deeply.

Shen Yu quickly supported her with both hands and smiled, "My lady, please stop being so polite. I occasionally heard others talk about this method of saving people from drowning. At that time, I was anxious because I saw the child like that, so I took the risk and tried it. Fortunately, your family is blessed with a long life. I hope my lady doesn't blame me for being reckless."

The woman saw that Shen Yu's headscarf was still askew and her hair was disheveled. She was a thoughtful person. Her husband worked in the government office and would occasionally bring up his errands at home.

She glanced at Yu Tao and Yu Cheng, who still had nervous expressions on their faces, and then thought about what she had just seen, and asked with concern: "Miss, what happened just now? My husband and I just got off the car, and we saw a group of people gathered here from a distance, so we came over first."

Shen Yu didn't want to say anything, but thinking of Qian Yinhu in green clothes just now, who seemed to be very afraid of Qiqi's father, he hurriedly said: "My wife was busy thanking me, and I haven't thanked this big brother yet. Thank you for helping me out and driving away those scoundrels."

Having said that, he turned to the big man and said solemnly: "Thank you, big brother, for helping my family out of this predicament. If you hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't know how we would have ended up today." Having said that, he squatted and saluted and left.

The big man was standing silently by, listening to his wife explaining the situation to Shen Yu. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his savior came to thank him.

He was so anxious that he kept shaking his hands. It was inconvenient for him to help Shen Yu up, so he quickly said to the young woman, "Hurry up and help her up. Are you really going to let the girl worship me?"

The young woman smiled and supported Shen Yu, saying, "Girl, please stop being like this. My husband is a warm-hearted person. He would help even strangers on the street, let alone girls. I think our families are destined to be together. You saved Qiqi, and my husband helped your family out of trouble."

She rolled her eyes around, looked at the people watching the excitement, raised her voice slightly and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, you can call me sister."

As he spoke, he took Shen Yu's arm affectionately and whispered in her ear, "Miss, please don't think I'm abrupt. I heard from Liu Sanjiang that you were criticized for saving people. The person you provoked today must have provoked you because of rumors. I feel really bad for being slandered for saving my girl Qiqi. My husband is the head of the police in the government. For his sake, no one will dare to bully you when you set up a stall here in the future."

When Shen Yu heard this, he remained calm on the surface, but he was willing in his heart.

Since she traveled through time, she has deeply felt the difference between the senses and the common people. At that time, she was working in a restaurant. The old man Zheng who was celebrating his birthday was from the same clan as the governor of Ji'an Prefecture. When he celebrated his birthday, people from all over the town rushed to congratulate him, and they were honored to be favored by the old man Zheng.

Shen Yu brought the three Li family members to Anping County. He was always cautious, afraid of causing trouble, because he was well aware of the insignificance of ordinary people.

Now there are people willing to help you and stand by you to support you, so why not do it?

Thinking of this, she smiled shyly and said, "What are you talking about, my lady? My family is just a food stall owner. It would be too high for my family to recognize you as my sister."

After hearing what Shen Yu said, the woman knew that Shen Yu agreed, and said with a smile: "My maiden name is He, and I am the third child in the family, the youngest. The young lady has recognized me as her elder sister, so just call me the third sister, and you will be my fourth sister."

Li heard it all clearly and understood it all. Although she had never seen any big scenes, she knew very well that having a relative who was an official was the best thing.

So he quickly interrupted and said, "Since Madam He doesn't dislike my Yuzhi and wants to acknowledge her as her sister, my family would be more than happy to accept her. I just don't know where to formally perform the ceremony."

Shen Yu was overwhelmed when he heard this. He was just grateful for saving her life, and she acknowledged Li as her sister in front of everyone so that she would not be bullied. Why did Li take it so seriously?

Unexpectedly, He was more serious than Li, and hurriedly said, "Madam is right. I came here in a hurry today. Why don't you come to my house after closing the stall today, so that I can express my gratitude."

Shen Yu smiled and shook her head after hearing this: "Third sister, you are too polite. Since it was my sister who said we are sisters, then isn't it natural for me as the younger sister to save her child? Why should I thank you?"

As she spoke, she looked around at the people who were still standing around watching the fun and refusing to leave. She calmly adjusted her headscarf, smoothed her clothes, and said in a crisp voice: "Third sister, I'm here to greet you." Then she squatted down and bowed.

He understood what Shen Yu meant, so she didn't reach out to help her. Instead, she stood there with a smile and accepted Shen Yu's gift.
