Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Yang Erni had been playing with Xiao Re at the clinic since she was a child. Old Man Xiao's kind and benevolent nature hadn't tamed Xiao Re, but it had infected this silly girl, Yang Erni.

Overwhelmed with compassion, she immediately felt pity for Lu Yanting, who looked pitiful and contemplating suicide.

Upon hearing that he was penniless and hadn't eaten for three days, he immediately reached into his inner pocket and carefully pulled out his purse from inside his clothes.

The small roll inside was full of small change, including 10-cent, 50-cent, and 1-yuan notes, all of which were soaked through because they had been in water.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Erni spread out the money sheet and carefully counted it three times. It totaled one hundred and sixty-three yuan.

They were all handed to Lu Yanting.

This is what she earned from working from dawn till dusk these past few days, making candied hawthorns, sweet rice cakes, and glutinous rice balls. Every penny is hard-earned money.

"Here you go. Take this to eat, find a place to stay, and then find a job to make a living and live a good life. Don't try to kill yourself again."

"I risked two lives to save you. If you die, you'll not only be letting down your parents, but you'll also be letting me down."

Lu Yanting felt a pang of sadness, feeling both touched and amused.

He saved her twice, yet in the end he still owed her two lives.

How could there be such a foolish girl in the world? Not only did she risk her life to save someone, but she also gave all her money to a stranger.

Isn't she afraid that he's a bad person, or that she'll be deceived?

"No, I don't want it. How can I take a girl's money?"

"Take this, don't starve to death. Old Xiao said saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Adding the previous two, you owe me three lives."

Lu Yanting held a stack of damp banknotes, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Who taught this silly girl such math skills? He only has one life, how come he owes three?

"Hey, are you kidding me—?"

Before he could finish speaking, another thing jumped into the water with a splash.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp scream ripped through the water, and Lu Yanting's ears nearly exploded again.

"Ah—my little piglet!"

"Please, please don't die!"

"You're going to die! Your master will beat me to death, and your godfather will bite me to death too!"

Then—with a splash—Yang Erni jumped into the water for the third time.

Lu Yanting was truly dumbfounded this time.

If her first two jumps into the water were to save people, then it's one thing to be foolish. But why would she rush to her death even if a pig jumped into the lake?

How many lives does she have? They're so insignificant!

"Hey, you stupid woman...you're the one who's looking to die!"

If it weren't for the few cents in the bills, Lu Yanting really wouldn't have wanted to save her; he'd rather let her die stupidly.

After Lu Yanting struggled to pull her out of the water for the third time, she was still jumping around on the shore, crying loudly.

"Oh, my pig, my pig! Please hurry and save my pig! If the pig drowns, I won't live either!"

Lu Yanting remained silent.

Who was it that just advised others to "think positively," saying that life is precious and it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death? How come they've become addicted to suicide themselves?

"Stand still. I'm going to retrieve the pig."

"If you jump into the water again, you'll really die."

Yang Erni stood on the bank, watching the little pig in the water, splashing around happily. Suddenly, she burst into laughter.

"Piglet, you're amazing! You can swim? You won't drown!"

Lu Yanting's hand, which was meant to hold the pig, froze in place; he even forgot how to paddle.

Something about this sounds off; it sounds like he's being insulted.

That little piglet was very cunning. It lured Lu Yanting around in the water, making him swirl and thrash about.

Finally, it leisurely and happily went ashore on its own.

When Yang Erni saw the piglet return, she picked it up, slung her basket over her shoulder, and left, completely forgetting that there was someone in the water who had rescued the pig.

"Little piggy, I'm so glad you're okay. Let's go home!"

Lu Yanting watched the departing figure and roared angrily in the water.

"Hey, you heartless woman! I saved three of your lives, and you're just going to abandon me?"

"Hey, what's your name? I need to know how to get my money back next time!"

When Lu Yanting swam ashore, the girl had already disappeared. Only a stack of soaked bills remained on the ground.

"I went through all this trouble to save you three times, and this is all I got?"

As Lu Yanting dressed, he muttered to himself. His mind was filled with the image of that silly girl recklessly diving into the water.

Like a drowning ghost, it kept thrashing around in his mind.

In the evening, after the sun had set, Lu Yanzheng and He Yingying finally returned from the city's train station after seeing Grandpa Lu off, bringing him pork buns and lotus leaf rice.

"Yanting, you must be starving! I can't cook for you tonight, so have something to eat first."

Lu Yanting lay on the bench, glancing indifferently at the cold steamed bun, showing no interest whatsoever.

"No need, I've already eaten!"

He Yingying lowered her eyes and placed the food on the small stool by his bedside, gently urging him to eat.

"Yanting, don't be stubborn. You still need to eat dinner. You only ate two zongzi for lunch, that's not enough!"

"This young man is at the age where he's growing, so don't make things difficult for yourself. If you don't eat now, you'll feel even worse when you're hungry in the middle of the night."

Lu Yanting ignored He Yingying, lazily lying on the bench bed, continuing to close his eyes and rest.

Thinking of the girl by the reservoir, I couldn't help but giggle.

Even Lu Yanzheng didn't notice that he had brought Xiao Re back.

"Yanting, what are you grinning about in bed?"

"Hehehe, hehehe, hahaha..."

Lu Yanting couldn't hold back any longer, so he sat up and started telling He Yingying about the silly girl he had met that day.

"Second sister, let me tell you, I met a silly girl today. She's round and tender, with big, bright eyes that blink all the time. She looks just like an idiot."

He Yingying asked again, "How do you know he's a fool?"

Lu Yanting was excited, gesturing wildly with his eyebrows raised, and grinning as he talked non-stop.

"Today, I was swimming in the irrigation reservoir above the production team's farmland when a silly girl suddenly appeared. She actually thought I was going to do something drastic and jump into the river to commit suicide. As a result, she jumped in with a splash to save me."

"But you know what? She can't swim at all and almost drowned. I was the one who saved her in the end."

"Then, I told her I hadn't eaten for three days and was so poor I felt like dying, and she actually believed me! She even took all the money out of her pocket and gave it to me. Don't you think she's stupid?"

"Hahaha... Hahahaha... I've never seen such a silly girl!"

"That's incredibly stupid!"

"I bet with that slow brain of hers, she'll never get married! What stupid man would want to marry this silly girl!"

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Lu Yanting was laughing heartily when he suddenly felt a cold and aloof figure appear beside him.

Xiao Re stood quietly at the head of the bed, his sharp eyes, which seemed to be smiling but were not, staring coldly at her.

"Isn't that funny?"

"Wait a minute, I'll let you laugh your fill!"
