Chapter 22: The Truth About Overboard

The Nameless Creek is a bit scary to most of the villagers, and the little girls don't dare to approach it when it's dark. But it's picturesque and quiet.

may be because Jiang Songhai is a bold person, and he often goes to Baigu Mountain to collect medicine, and since he was a child, he has told Jiang Xiao about the wild fruits and wild flowers on Baigu Mountain, as well as the tranquility of Wuming Creek, so Jiang Xiao is not so afraid of Wuming Creek as others.

Jiang Xiao's mother Jiang Qingzhu is the only daughter of Jiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, and she was also a famous beauty in the neighborhood back then. At that time, there was no male in the family who would be scolded by people pointing at his back, and his daughter's status in the family was very low, but Jiang Songhai still spoiled Jiang Qingzhu like a jewel.

No one would have thought that Jiang Qingzhu suddenly got pregnant when she was eighteen years old and gave birth to Jiang Xiao's daughter.

This incident caused a sensation in Siyang Village back then, and the discussion and pointing on the back of the Jiang family were completely unimaginable to those who had not experienced it.

However, Jiang Qingzhu didn't say who the child's father was.

Even, Jiang Xiao ran away from home when he was only two years old, and there has been no news so far.

In fact, no one in the Jiang family thought that Jiang Qingzhu was still alive.

In that turbulent era, she ran away as a beautiful young girl, and there was almost no chance of survival.

Jiang Songhai and Ge Liutao almost couldn't bear the heavy fatal blow, and the husband and wife almost gave up with a bottle of rat poison each.

But Jiang Xiao is still young, what will she do if they leave?

It was precisely because they were reluctant to let go of such a delicate and tender granddaughter that the husband and wife survived and raised Jiang Xiao.

But even with the care and pampering of the two of them, Jiang Xiao had a very difficult time when she was a child, because her mother was unmarried, her father was unknown, and her mother left her and ran away, many people in the village sympathized with her, and more people looked down on her and hated her.

When she was a child, those bear children often made up limerick poems that insulted her, and they also ganged up to bully her and tease her. So Jiang Xiao doesn't like to play with others very much, he has always been a loner, and his personality is a little autistic. In order to avoid those children, she would often hide near the Nameless Creek for half a day.

Yesterday, she was also in a bit of a depressed mood, so she went to the nameless stream again, but it was indeed late at that point. She didn't know why Ji Desheng was there, after seeing her, Ji Desheng ran over to persuade her to hurry home, she didn't want to get too close to Ji Desheng, so she stepped back, and then tripped over a stone and almost fell.

Ji Desheng's eyes were quick to grab her.

It was this scene that was seen by Ding Dani.

After she avoided Ji Desheng, Ding Dani chased after her, indiscriminately scolding her for being a little vixen, saying that she was pestering Ji Desheng and asking him to have a tryst in such a place, and even pushed her as she spoke.

At that time, in order to avoid Ding Dani's spitting, she had retreated step by step, closer to the stream, and fell down after being pushed by her like this.

However, at that time, her knee-jerk reaction was to grab Ding Dani, but she didn't want to tear her shirt, so she still fell down.

After falling, she panicked, anxious and afraid, and pounced and called Ding Dani to save her, but Ding Dani looked at her tremblingly, and then turned her head and ran away.

If she hadn't grabbed a few long tufts of aquatic weeds as she flopped, she might have been swept downstream and drowned.
