Chapter 31: A Woman with Connections

!"After Liu Ran expressed her gratitude, she took her lunch box and walked away. Ma Hua and his master followed for a while until they reached the Shichahai lake shore. Then, the master and apprentice...I don't know who started it, but everyone around began to clap for He Yuzhu.

"Like-minded people with great talents!"

"That's right, he didn't just pull people out of the water, he even snatched them from the clutches of the King of Hell!"

"Hey, that technique just now looked really professional. Fellow physician, which hospital do you work at"

He Yuzhu, dressed in his pants, was left speechless with a mix of amusement and bewilderment: "You're praising me too much! I'm just a cook, not a doctor."

Someone on the side gave a thumbs-up: "Wow, that's great! You're really knowledgeable. Most people couldn't do that!"

Even some of the men who had previously mocked him sarcastically began to blush and apologize to him.

"I'm really sorry, I just have a bad mouth. Don't hold it against me!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. We're all here for the sake of the child. Even when I was angry, I would only curse."

"You're so bright!"

By this time, the child's mother had finally calmed down. She led her son and daughter, both shivering from the cold, to He Yuzhu's side. She ordered her son, "Quickly kneel down and kowtow to your uncle! If it weren't for him today, you little wretch would be dead by now!"

He Yuzhu saw this and hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, it's just a small favor, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Saying this, he called Liu Guangtian, who was shamefaced and kept his head down behind him, to the front: "Speaking of it, these few children are really mischievous. This kid insisted on competing with your family's children in diving, otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing! Guangtian, what are you still standing there for Hurry up and apologize to Auntie! Otherwise, when your dad comes, he'll definitely beat you with a belt!"

Hearing this, Liu Guangtian was so frightened that he trembled. He quickly stammered an apology.

As if it were a coincidence, as soon as the words left his mouth, He Yuzhu saw Liu Haizhong and his wife, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Fugui being led over by Liu Guangfu from a distance with great haste. Behind them, Xu Damai and Yan's eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, were peeking out curiously.

They are all in the same courtyard. Knowing that Liu Haizhong's second son has caused a big trouble, they can't just ignore it at this time.

This is also why Yi Zhonghai was anxious and angry, seeking someone to support him in his old age. They were all three "grandpas" living in the courtyard. No matter what happened, both Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had people who could stand up for them. Although Yi Zhonghai was respected in the courtyard, he was ultimately a lonely widower with no children. When it came to speaking and doing things, he lacked the authority and support.

Liu Haizhong came up and without bothering to apologize to the others, slapped Liu Guangtian across the face: "You little bastard, are you trying to drive me crazy"

This time, Liu Guangtian was honest and didn't even try to hide.

This little one also knows that this time he's in big trouble. He instinctively feels like he deserves a beating. If it were usual, he would have run away long ago.

When Liu Haizhong heard the news from his youngest son, he and his wife were terrified. They didn't dare to waste a moment, they called up the other two heads of the courtyard and several young men, and immediately rushed over here.

Yi Zhonghai, being a man of calm temperament, took in the surrounding situation with a glance and guessed that his grandchild was most likely unharmed. Otherwise, the atmosphere at the scene wouldn't be like this.

"Seeing that Liu Haizhong was mistreating his son so badly, the old master advised: "Old Liu, don't rush to beat the child. Ask him what happened first before saying anything. How old is he Look at how scared he is, even trembling."

Yan Fugui was more practical. He let his son, Yan Jiecheng, ask around the onlookers, and soon he understood what had happened.

"Sure thing, Zhuzi! Looks like I owe you a big one today!"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence that I ran into it. The second master's Guangfu is also quick-witted, and he didn't delay things. Otherwise, it would be really mysterious."

As he spoke, he recounted the events of his rescue in broad strokes. Upon hearing this, the crowd sighed again with sympathy.

Hearing this, Xu Damao curled his lips: "Is it that mysterious How deep can Hutong be, and diving up and down, making it sound so real."

This kid just can't stand to see He Yuzhu in the limelight. Watching a circle of people surround his arch-nemesis and shower him with flattery, he felt incredibly uncomfortable. He had to say something spiteful, otherwise, he wouldn't sleep soundly at night.

Liu Haizhong turned his head and glared at him: "Xu Damai, what nonsense are you talking about"

He Yuzhu jumped into the water to save someone so that he could wipe his son's butt. Regardless of whether this matter was as dangerous as he described it, the Liu family had to accept this favor. Otherwise, if it spread, it would mean that the Liu family didn't know how to be grateful.

Even the onlookers couldn't stand to watch any longer.

The old man who spoke first frowned and lectured Xu Damao: "Young man, don't talk nonsense! Don't even mention the hard work this comrade put in to find people underwater. Just now when this child was pulled up, he had no breath at all. Everyone saw it clearly. If it hadn't been for the timely first aid just now, this child would be dead by now!"

Liu Hai's face turned pale. Goodness gracious, his own son almost got another child killed! It seems like he'll have to give him a good scolding when they get home, so he doesn't cause any more trouble in the future!

Alas, this time I even have to look down on Sha Zhu. This kid might get cocky when he turns back!

Xu Damao still looked disdainful: "Come on! A rough cook would know first aid Why don't you say he can also perform surgery It was just a couple of mouthfuls of water, pat it and it's fine.........."

Before he could finish his words, the person's own mother couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Please be careful with your words!"

She had felt something was off about Xu Damao from the moment he spoke. But seeing how close he seemed to her son's savior, she held back. However, as his words grew increasingly outrageous, she could no longer remain silent. Where did this person come from How could anyone speak so rudely

Xu Dazhao just wanted to turn his head and retort, but looking at the woman in front of him, he suddenly felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

He pondered for a moment, then let out an "Ah!" and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! You... you're Zhao Section Chief's lover, aren't you"

The woman frowned. "Do you know me"

Xu Damao immediately put on a smile and leaned in, eagerly saying, "Don't you remember Last time when Zhao Section Chief and the others from the post office celebrated, I went over to show them a film. After that, we all had a meal together, and I even toasted Zhao Section Chief!"

Seeing Xu Damao's ingratiating expression, a flash of disgust crossed the woman's eyes. She said coldly: "There are too many people eating, I don't remember."That way, not only would it show sincerity, but I could also get closer to the leaders later!"It wouldn't do, not at all. Even Xu Damao said so himself - there are people guarding the gate of the cour...
