Chapter 121 - [Bonus ]

Madam Tian was a gloomy woman. She was thin and malnourished because she wanted to save as much money as possible and would make cuts wherever she could and still live. Her family often ate pancakes made from coarse grain without any side dishes. Now that she was glaring at Grandma Fang with a gaze filled with hatred, she looked really terrifying, like a monster in the dark. 

"Are you crazy? Have you gone so senile because of your old age that you are sprouting nonsensical facts!! When did your daughter save my daughter? My daughter is a proud fisherwoman. She has inherited all my skills. Since when did normal farmer girls start saving skilled fisherwomen from the sea? You don't have any evidence, and you are spouting nonsense just because you are upset with me? You are already in your sixties or seventies. You better fear God and stop with your lies! By doing and saying such things, who knows, maybe you will die early -"

Madam Tian had the backing of the village head, so she didn't bother to hold back on her poisonous words. She was so angry at Grandma Fang that she wished to set her on fire and watch her burn. How dare this old woman spit on her! 

Madam Tian became totally hostile, and she didn't even restrain herself in her anger. She said such words to Grandma Fang, who was older than her and deserved a modicum of respect.

Grandma Fang wasn't a pushover either. Her precious Grandson's life was in danger, so she wasn't going to pull the reins on her temper either! "You dare to curse me? You? Your Tian family would have been ruined without my daughter helping you! Now that your life is flourishing, you dare say I'm speaking nonsense? Really? Fine! How about this, if you are telling the truth, then let me die right now! I will die in six months, but if I am the one who is speaking the truth, then you will never be able to see the face of your granddaughters! Your Tian family will have no future! "

"You-"

"They are here! My wife is here!" Chen Mi shouted loudly, stopping the brewing storm at once. He didn't want the matter to escalate any further than it already had. Anyway, his wife was here, and she had saved Fang Chi, so there was no need for this loud ruckus. 

Grandma Fang ignored the angry Madam Tian and turned around when she heard Chen Mi's words. Sure enough, Yu Dong was swimming against the waves as she dragged Fang Chi together with her towards the reef. By the time she arrived at the shore, she was so exhausted that Chen Mi and Grandma Fang had to help her pull Fang Chi on the coast.

Fang Chi was dressed in a pale blue outfit, his face was exceedingly pale, and his eyes were tightly shut. His long eyelashes were like small fans sticking to the bottom of his eyes. Even now, he resembled a charming prince in the dramas. If not for his plump lips having no blood, no one would believe that he was just dragged out of the sea. 

"Chi'er! Oh, my Chi'er!" When Grandma Fang saw that Fang Chi wasn't conscious, she started crying as she slapped Fang Chi on the chest. It was as if she would beat him back to life like this.

Yu Dong wiped her face and stopped Grandma Fang. If she really beat Fang Chi too hard, there would be problems. "Granny Fang, don't cry. Look carefully. Fang Chi is still breathing," she helped Grandma Fang place her finger under Fang Chi's nose. 

Grandma Fang felt the hot breath of her Grandson against her finger and thought that the weight of the world was lifted off her shoulders. Her body sagged in relief as she covered her face and started crying, thanking God for his grace.

On the other hand, the tired Yu Dong was pushing Fang Chi's stomach with the edge of her shoulder. As she did that, water gushed out of Fang Chi's mouth. She kept repeating it until Fang Chi stopped throwing up seawater.

"My Grandson! Chi'er, he can still be saved, right?" asked Grandma Fang as she watched Yu Dong bustle around.

Yu Dong pulled out the bag of spiritual water she always carried with her, then asked Chen Mi to help Fang Chi up in a reclining position. "He wasn't in the seawater for long. As long as no accident occurs, he can still be saved." She handed the water bag to Chen Mi and said, "Make him drink some of it."

Chen Mi blinked as he took the water bag from Yu Dong and started untying it. "But why? Didn't you just bring him out of water? Is it alright to feed him water after this wife?"

Yu Dong sat down on the reef wearily and chuckled at Chen Mi's childlike curiosity. "Feeding water to a person who had almost drowned is to prevent them from dehydrating. This will help his body instead of harming him." Then she looked around, and when she didn't see Little bun, she couldn't help but ask, "Eh? Where is bun bun? Did you leave him in the carriage alone?"

Chen Mi carefully parted Fang Chi's purplish lips and helped him drink some water before answering. "No, while I was running after you, I met with Mai and Ruru, so I handed bun bun to them and asked them to take him back home. It's too cold here so, I didn't bring him with me."

Yu Dong nodded. She was a bit worried about Little bun being handed to two young children. She knew that with the limited amount of time they had, this was most probably the best solution Chen Mi could come up with.

"He's awake! Granny Fang! He is awake!" shouted Chen Mi breaking Yu Dong's chain of thoughts.

Grandma Fang immediately hugged the now awake Fang Chi. He looked around his surroundings with his deep eyes and a dazed expression on his face.

Sometimes, Yu Dong wondered why villagers called Fang Chi ugly. His gaze alone was captivating and dazzling.

"Why...why did you save me? Just let me die."

Eh?
