The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1875: Chapter 1875: Reinforcements Found by Chen Qiu Arrive

”No, you simply can’t.” Granny Fang sneered, exposing his lie.

Chen Bing argued insistently, ”I can. Boys growing up in farming families have always played in the river since they were young. Who doesn’t know how to swim?”

Granny Fang’s expression became even more mocking, ”Yes, you could in the past, but not anymore. Years ago, when there was a flood in your hometown, the water rose to chest-level in some places, and your parents were swept away during their escape. You were greatly traumatized by this. Since then, you’ve been terribly afraid of water, especially after I saved you when you almost got swept away. So how could someone as afraid of water as you possibly jump into a river to save someone?”

Chen Bing denied, ”Nonsense, I’m not afraid at all.”

”That’s simple.” Shu Yu interrupted his bluff, turning to ask the onlookers, ”Is there a river or something nearby?”

”Yes, yes, there is. Just down the street, there’s a river,” someone quickly responded.

Shu Yu smiled, ”Fine, then let’s throw him in the water and see. If he can swim back and forth, I’ll admit he’s telling the truth. Our whole family will apologize to him, compensate him, and never appear in front of him again.”

The crowd nodded repeatedly.

But Chen Bing’s eyes widened, ”No way, I, I’ve been injured by you guys, I can’t even get in the water, not to mention I can’t even stand right now. You’re trying to use this chance to murder me, you’re trying to harm me, I’m not going.”

”If you’re not going, then fine, you can hold your breath in the water, right?” Shu Yu turned back and instructed Ying Xi, ”Go fetch a bucket of water, let him submerge his whole face in it and hold his breath for a while. If he doesn’t have a problem, I’ll admit he can swim.”

Granny Fang looked at her with some concern, wondering if Chen Bing would manage to deceive them. After all, holding one’s breath and swimming were two different things.

But to Shu Yu, they were the same.

And to Chen Bing, they were the same.

So, hearing this and seeing Ying Xi already moving, with even those busybodies from the Pan family running home to fetch a wooden bucket for water, Chen Bing, frightened, retreated two steps and shook his head desperately, ”No, I disagree. What right do you have to do this? This is the Pan family; what gives you the right to dictate here? I don’t want to, go away.”

With his appearance, how could the watching villagers not understand?

This was guilt, a lack of confidence. Otherwise, what’s there to fear? For someone who can swim, holding their breath for a moment is no issue.

But Shu Yu coldly laughed, ”Isn’t this an opportunity for you to prove yourself? Ying Xi, bring the water in front of him and hold his hand down.”

”Yes.”

With a ’bang’, the half-meter-high wooden bucket was placed in front of Chen Bing.

The water in the bucket sloshed around, making Chen Bing’s face turn pale.

Chen He and the people from the Pan family wanted to intervene, but everyone was blocked. The Lu family was few in number, but the crowd was large. They wanted to verify Chen Bing’s words, so naturally, they blocked their way.

Although, even without the test, they already knew deep down who was telling the truth and who was lying.

However, just as Ying Xi was about to act, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.

”Stop!”

Shu Yu smiled, it seemed that Chen Qiu’s reinforcements had arrived.

Indeed, in the blink of an eye, Chen Qiu rushed in from outside, standing in front of Chen Bing, followed by five or six other people.
