The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

113 Immediate Revenge

When the crowd saw Zhao Chuchu arrive, they all took a step backward.

Niu An was completely wet from head to toe. He said, “Chuchu, I tried my best to rush here and save Junjun. But I was still one step too late. Junjun is…”

Dead.

But Niu An didn’t say the last word.

Xie Heng’s eyes had only just recovered, and such a tragic accident happened to Xie Jun.

He’s not breathing anymore. No matter how good of a doctor Zhao Chuchu was, there was no way she could revive Xie Jun from the dead… If only he had run just a little faster just now, Xie Jun would definitely have survived!

Zhao Chuchu didn’t say anything. Instead, she took a few big steps forward and crouched down beside Xie Jun. After checking his breath, she tilted Xie Jun’s head to one side to check if there was anything in his throat.

The whole crowd stared at Zhao Chuchu. For a moment, the only sound they could hear came from the running river.

At the same time, Xie Heng arrived at the river bank as well. When he saw Xie Jun lying lifelessly, an intense killing intent welled up in his eyes.

“Da Lang, come here,” Zhao Chuchu said when he saw Xie Heng arrive. “Help me.”

...

Xie Heng suppressed the thought of killing Niu Ziming and stepped forward quickly.

“Take my command later on. When I say one, you pinch Junjun’s nose, cover his mouth, and blow air into his mouth. When I say two, let go. Do it according to my rhythm,” Zhao Chuchu said to Xie Heng at a very fast pace.

“Alright!” Xie Heng nodded, then kneeled beside Xie Jun and got ready.

More and more people came to the river bank to check out what was happening. Some of the women who liked to gossip started to run their mouths again.

“She’s touching her brother-in-law’s body. How shameless.”

“I thought Xie Heng was a scholar. So why is he allowing his wife to do something so shameless?”

“He’s already dead, yet he’s enduring such treatment. How sad!”

Xie Heng was furious. He wanted to say something, but Zhao Chuchu was faster than him.

“All of you do nothing every day. The only thing you know is to spit crap out of your mouth. If you don’t shut your filthy mouths, I’ll press all of you under the water so you get a taste of what it’s like to be groped!”

Once she said that, all of the gossiping women shut their mouths.

The other onlookers criticized them as well, saying, “Chuchu is trying to save someone here. Can you guys just shut up and accumulate some karma with your mouth? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?”

...

Zhao Chuchu ignored them. She said to Xie Heng, “One!”

Xie Heng followed her instructions.

“Two.”

“One.”

“Two.”

Under the effort of Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu, Xie Jun finally started breathing again.

When Xie Heng sensed Xie Jun breathing, he felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his heart.

Zhao Chuchu used a slight bit of her healing superpower to help Xie Jun regain consciousness in the shortest possible time.

He opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of water.

The crowd couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Niu An’s eyes widened.

...

Zhao Chuchu managed to bring Xie Jun back from the dead!

“Sis, drowning feels so bad.” The first thing that Xie Jun did was complain. He didn’t know the difference between the heart and lungs. He said, “I felt like my heart was about to explode.”

“Everything’s fine now. We’ll eat a good meal when we get back; then you won’t feel so bad anymore.” Zhao Chuchu pitied him.

“Brother, why are you here as well?” Only then did Xie Jun see Xie Heng.

Xie Heng rubbed his head and said, “I was worried, so I came over to take a look.”

“There are so many people here.” Xie Jun looked at the large crowd around him and felt rather strange.

Xie Heng said, “You almost died just now. Some of these people came because they were worried about you, and the others just came to watch. But it’s all over now. So let’s go home first, alright?”

“Brother, all the shepherd’s purses that I dug got washed away by the water,” Xie Jun said, a little upset. “Brother Liang and I took so long to dig them.”

“We’ll come back and dig them again when you’ve recovered. But let’s go home first,” Xie Heng consoled him.

“Okay.” Xie Heng looked toward Zhao Chuchu and said, “I’m sorry, Sis. I didn’t get you the shepherd’s purse.”

Zhao Chuchu felt something warm trickle through her heart. Xie Jun seemed to be thinking about her more than anything else. She said, “I’ve already received your goodwill. We’ll come back again to dig them in a few days.”

...

Only then did Xie Jun nod.

Xie Heng carried Xie Jun, then looked toward the women who were gossiping just now and said, “Apologize!’

His voice sounded normal. There was nothing different about it. Yet, it made those women shiver for some reason.

“Chuchu is such an amazing doctor. She managed to revive someone from the dead. That’s incredible.”

“Chuchu, I was just running my mouth without thinking just now. You won’t mind it, right?”

“He was saved. That’s wonderful. You guys should have a good meal and celebrate later.”

They joked and laughed, intending to move on from what they had said earlier.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “Humans won’t be calculative toward mad dogs because if they do, they turn into mad dogs themselves. I am a human, and I speak human language. I don’t bark.”

Their smiles froze on their faces.

“I’m not the type to let things slip and move on. I always get my revenge immediately.”

Right after she said that, the gossiping women flew out before they even realized what was going on. They fell into the water one by one, like dumplings falling into soup!

...

“Help… Ahh, help…”

The water wasn’t that deep, and it was not actually possible to drown inside. Yet those people floated and sank nonstop.

Zhao Chuchu looked at them from the shore coldly. Then, she laughed and said, “I didn’t do that on purpose. I’m sure you won’t blame me, right?”

“I’m sorry!”

“I won’t do it ever again.”

“Help…”

They flailed their limbs in the water and shrieked.

“This water isn’t deep enough to drown in. What are you yelling for?” Zhao Chuchu sneered at their ridiculous act, then turned and left.

They continued yelling.

Someone couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Stop it. You might really drown if you continue. Stand up. The water level is lower than your height!”

Upon hearing those words, the “drowning” women all stood up straight. They realized that the water only reached their necks. It was indeed impossible for them to drown.

...

It’s just that when their heads were on the surface just now, they felt like drowning when the river water hit their faces.

“Da Lang, when you return home, get Junjun a change of clothes, then heat up a bucket of ginger water for him to take a bath,” said Zhao Chuchu when she caught up to Xie Heng.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to make the culprit pay for this. I am at fault for what Niu Ziming did.”

“Return home with me and take care of Junjun. I should be the one seeking revenge for my brother.”

“Da Lang, don’t contend with me on this.” Zhao Chuchu looked at him from an angle and said, “I’m more suitable for certain things.”

A scholar should behave like one.

Xie Heng went silent for a while, then said, “Okay.”

“Sis, I didn’t provoke Niu Ziming. I even tried to evade him every time I saw him. I don’t know why he was so mean to me and pushed me into the water.” Xie Jun was still too young. He couldn’t figure out how he provoked Niu Ziming at all.

“A mad dog doesn’t need a reason to bite people. So don’t be afraid. I’ll make him kneel down and apologize to you.”

“Sis…”

“Good boy.”

When they reached the fork in the road, Zhao Chuchu went straight toward Niu Ziming’s place.

Niu Ziming’s door was shut tight, but Zhao Chuchu could still hear the conversation going on inside. “Ziming, stop packing. Let’s go. When Zhao Chuchu realizes what happened, there’s no way that we can escape!”
