Ji Qinglan sent the people away and went back to the house to pack up her son. She picked him up from the bed and put on a half-worn thick cotton jacket. Originally, Xincheng had two jackets, both of which were good clothes sent to her by Uncle Peng, and now they were worn by Xiang Xinglong.

Now, Xin Cheng only has this one piece of clothing to wear, as two of her good clothes have been stolen.

She had to find a way to buy some cotton and cloth to make two more sets of clothes for her son.

He carried his son on his back and went out.

She wanted to go and watch the fun.

The excitement will shift.

The villagers had just seen the excitement at Ji's house, and now they moved on to Captain Xiang's house. The crowd surrounded Xiang's house in three layers, and everyone wanted to see what the police chief from the county looked like.

Listen with your ears pricked up.

The two police officers were already used to being stared at like this by the crowd.

Wherever they go, they are looked at like monkeys. They don't have three heads and six ears. These people are just so strange.

The two men called over all the neighbors of the Xiang family and all the people who Xiang Qiang and Hu Xiaoli were close to and questioned them in detail.

As a result, many people said that they went to work with Hu Xiaoli during the day, but heard from their family the next morning that Hu Xiaoli had died of an acute illness at night.

"My elder sister must have been beaten to death by Xiang Qiang." Hu Xiaoxin shouted in grief and anger while standing in the yard.

He had a wound on his face and half of it was swollen. He was beaten by his father when he got home yesterday.

Old Man Hu slapped him again and yelled, "What are you trying to do? You want your sister to die in vain."

Xiang Guo handed cigarettes to the two policemen, and gave one to each person in the crowd before saying to the policemen, "We are also very sad about this matter. My sister-in-law was fine all the time, but she passed away suddenly. Sigh..."

"Oh! Xiaoli is a good child, capable and filial. She was not feeling well that day and I told her not to go to work, but she was reluctant to give up the work points and blamed me." Team leader Xiang also spoke.

Everyone who had cigarettes also started talking, helping the Xiang family.

The two policemen put their cigarettes behind their ears, continued to record, and asked some more questions.

Hu Xiaoxin became anxious after hearing this, but he had no idea what to do.

Ji Qinglan listened to what was said outside and turned away.

Under this circumstance, if the coffin is not opened for autopsy, Xiang Qiang will be able to come back in the evening.

However, she wasn't worried.

Xiang Qiang is a man with bad habits. He does things in a cunning and deceitful way. He often gambles with the village's second-rate guys and is also involved with Widow Li. Everyone in the village knows this, but he just has a good father.

As long as the captain is in office, these people will not dare to tell the truth.

People with a bad record can be found to have problems no matter where you look. Once they get out, it is easy for them to go back to jail.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a plop. She was startled and hurried over to the source of the sound.

Soon they arrived at the stone bridge and saw a figure struggling under the ice. The surrounding children were so scared that their faces turned pale and they were at a loss. Some even started crying.

"Go call someone quickly." Ji Qinglan shouted. She didn't care about anything else. She quickly took her son off her back, took off her shoes and jacket, and jumped down with a plop.

The water was icy cold when she entered, and the biting chill froze her. After she adjusted herself, she swam forward with all her might, grabbed the person, and pushed him to the shore.

People have come to the shore one after another, and the ones running in the front are Zhang Jianguo and Liu Yumei.

At this time, Ji Qinglan had already pushed the person ashore. She was panting, shivering from the cold, and her whole body was almost stiff.

The little girl's face was blue and purple, and her eyes were closed.

"Nell."

Liu Yumei screamed and rushed over.

Zhang Jianguo had already taken off his clothes and wrapped his daughter up. He squatted on the ground, held his daughter on his knees, and patted her back gently.

After a while, Nier spit out a mouthful of water and came to consciousness.

Soon, Ji Qinglan was sent back home by two kind aunts. It was not until she soaked in a bucket of warm hot water that she felt alive again.

Luo Xiufang, director of the Women's Federation, brought Ji Qinglan a bowl of ginger soup.

"Sister Ji, drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold."

Ji Qinglan took the bowl and took a sip, then said gratefully, "Thank you, Director Luo, for troubling you today."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? I'm so grateful to you today, otherwise Ni'er would be gone."

"I just happened to meet him, I can't just stand by and watch him die!"

"You have a good heart." Luo Xiufang smiled. Her opinion of Ji Qinglan changed a lot. The Hongshui River was frozen and people were almost dead after falling in. However, Ji Qinglan jumped in to save people without hesitation. This proved that she is a good person and not as stupid as the legend said!

Today everyone had gathered at the captain's house to watch the fun. The kids gathered on the bridge and smashed the ice with stones, making a big hole in the ice. As a result, a group of kids pushed and shoved each other, and pushed the younger Ni'er off.

It was a good thing that Ji Qinglan happened to pass by, otherwise what would have happened would have been unimaginable.

Ji Qinglan was also very happy. In her previous life, when she was looking for Xin Cheng, she also heard that Ni'er fell into the water and had frozen to death when she was rescued.

In this life, she arrived just in time. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

She is blessed by heaven, and she must continue to do good deeds in return.

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

Seeing that Ji Qinglan was really fine, Luo Xiufang helped her take care of the child for a while, and only went home after Ji Qinglan came out of the bath.

Ji Qinglan wiped her hair with a dry towel and rummaged through the closet for clothes to wear. When she opened the closet, she was stunned to see several men's clothes, both new and old, all of which belonged to Liang Qian, as well as two pairs of new cloth shoes she had made. Looking at these and thinking of Liang Qian, she felt it was extremely dazzling.

She simply picked them all up and threw them into the kitchen to burn them all.

Looking at the blazing flames, Ji Qinglan's eyes were cold and two lines of tears slid down her face.

In her previous life, she had always lived in the dream he had woven, and had never seen through this hypocritical man.

In this life, we will meet again sooner or later; you won’t let me go, and I won’t let you go.

"Ji Zhiqing, are you home?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qinglan collected his thoughts and went out to greet him.

Niu Guixiang came over with a basket of things. When she saw Ji Qinglan, she quickly pushed the basket forward and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much for today. Otherwise, our Ni'er would not have anything, and our family would not have anything good to give you. Please don't despise these."

There were about ten eggs, a bag of brown sugar, and a piece of meat weighing about two pounds in the basket, which was already a very heavy gift.

How could Ji Qinglan dislike it?

She hurriedly pushed the things back and said, "Aunt Niu, you have helped me a lot since I came to the Red River Brigade. How could I stand by and watch Ni'er fall into the water? Take the things back and give them to the child."

"You keep it. I have more at home. You've just recovered from a serious illness and you've been exposed to cold water, so you must nourish yourself more." Niu Guixiang insisted that Ji Qinglan accept it. It was a little gift from their family.

There was no way Ji Qinglan was willing to accept it. There was already so much food in her backpack that she couldn't finish it.

Unfortunately, Niu Guixiang didn't know that she had a hidden golden finger. She only heard that everything in her house had been looted by Xiangqing's family, so she was determined to keep the things.
