Chapter 110 Presenting Jiang Yingxue with an Honorary Banner

Chapter 110: Presenting a Banner of Thanks to Jiang Yingxue

Hu Yuchun left the meeting he was in and hurried to the park to pick up his son.

Hu Ruichuan couldn't hold back his emotions when he saw his father and burst into tears. His father asked what was wrong, but he couldn't get the words out.

It was clear he had been terrified.

The ride home was silent. The moment he held the Shatang Flower cookies, he burst into tears again.

Looking at the description of the Shatang Flower on the back of the cookie box, his eyes blurred with tears.

"Shatang Flower: Waterproof, body as light as a fish."

Being able to come back alive today was thanks to eating Shatang Flowers every day.

His parents and sister gathered around him, their faces full of concern.

Hu Ruichuan wiped the tears from his face. "Dad, Mom, Sis, my life was saved by the Shatang Flower..."

Hu Qiwen and the others looked bewildered, not understanding what he meant. Hu Ruichuan wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes and then recounted everything that had happened to him that day in detail.

Listening, his mother, Shi Fang'ai, and Hu Qiwen were also terrified and shaken by a wave of fear afterwards. They hugged the crying Hu Ruichuan, and the three of them wept together. Hu Yuchun was so angry his hands trembled.

He grabbed his keys and rushed out, wanting to confront the boy who had tried to harm his son. But he quickly calmed down. They still needed to learn more about the boy's family. The first step was to call the police.

After reporting the incident, they were pleasantly surprised to learn there was video footage capturing the entire crime committed by the suspect. Upon learning that the boy who had fallen into the water was safe, the police also called off the search and rescue operation in the lake.

The next day, the police went to Yin Luochenyi's home. At first, Yin Luochenyi's family tried to deny everything, especially his mother, who insisted the police were slandering her son. She grabbed a broom and chased the officers out. It wasn't until the police presented the video evidence of Yin Luochenyi's entire crime that they stopped. Under police pressure, Yin Luochenyi confessed his motive and the details of his crime. Hu Yuchun secretly recorded this.

The police also went to question Xie Langyu. Believing his classmate Hu Ruichuan had drowned, Xie Langyu felt he had already lost a friend and couldn't bear to lose his cousin too. So, when questioned by the police, he gave false testimony, insisting Hu Ruichuan had accidentally slipped into the water and that his cousin had tried but failed to save him.

Hu Yuchun treated his son like a young adult and didn't hide the fact about Xie Langyu's false testimony. However, Hu Ruichuan was still a child after all. This experience left him with significant psychological trauma—the betrayal by his friend and the persecution by that friend's cousin meant he needed psychological therapy. He also transferred to a new school.

The whole incident was clear: Yin Luochenyi, jealous of Hu Ruichuan's wealthy family background, wanted to kill him. He lured Hu Ruichuan to the lakeside, attempted to kill him, and then tried to disguise it as an accidental drowning. However, because both the suspect and the one who gave false testimony were relatively young, only eleven years old, the final outcome was to place them under parental supervision.

Hu Yuchun was extremely dissatisfied with the result, but legally, there was nothing that could be done to the suspect.

But it didn't matter. There would be plenty of time later.

Hu Yuchun posted the video and audio online. Soon, well-meaning netizens dug up Yin Luochenyi's personal information. When this news reached the school Yin Luochenyi attended, parents flocked to the school to protest. After all, no parent would want their child to be classmates with a would-be murderer, even if it was attempted murder. Especially since he was a minor, an age where even the police couldn't do much—he was like a ticking time bomb.

Under pressure from the vast majority of parents, Yin Luochenyi was asked to leave the school. Yin's father and mother also lost their jobs. Neighbors pointed fingers at the Yin family while also avoiding them like the plague. Helpless, the Yin family moved away.

Did the Yin family think moving would be the end of it? Impossible. How could the Hu family let the person who almost killed Hu Ruichuan off easily? No matter where the Yin family moved, their story would be spread there. There would always be a river waiting for Yin Luochenyi.

The day after the drowning incident, the Hu family ordered a red gratitude banner.

Once the custom-made banner was ready, the family of four, carrying the banner and gifts, went together to the Xuehe stall to thank Jiang Yingxue and her Shatang Flower cookies.

The text on the left column of the banner read: Year, Presented respectfully by Hu Yuchun and family. In the middle were two columns of large characters: "Noble Character, Warming Hearts; Shatang Flower Cookies, Boundless Great Love." On the right was: Thanking Boss Jiang of Xuehe Stall.

Shi Fang'ai held Jiang Yingxue's hand, her body trembling slightly with emotion. "Boss Jiang, thank you so much! If it weren't for your Shatang Flower, my Xiao Chuan, he..."

At this point, tears instantly soaked Shi Fang'ai's face. If her son hadn't loved eating Shatang Flower cookies, eating a box every day, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

She used to think her son eating a box a day was too much, bad for his teeth. Now, even if he ate two boxes a day, she would buy them for him.

Jiang Yingxue comforted her gently, "Xiao Chuan is blessed and fortunate. He's a child with good fortune."

Among the gifts Hu Yuchun presented were a check for ten million and an apartment in City J. However, Jiang Yingxue declined the money and the apartment, accepting only the banner. What Hu Ruichuan ate was a product they had purchased. Moreover, his unique fondness for Shatang Flower and his encounter with the water disaster were perhaps fate's arrangement. He was a child destined for future blessings.

Hu Yuchun immediately applied for a Red Membership Card and topped it up with ten million, saying, "Boss Jiang, you are a person of great love. Since you are unwilling to accept this money, I, Old Hu, won't force it. I heard the roads in your hometown village are still dirt paths. If I want to go and repair the roads, you mustn't stop me."

His son said that for a period underwater, he could swim like a fish and breathe freely. Hu Yuchun hadn't experienced it himself, but he didn't immediately dismiss his son's words. Instead, the next day, he frantically ate Shatang Flower cookies and drank Shatang Flower wine at home, then experimented by immersing himself in water. In the end, his son was not wrong.

Products with such powerful functions as the Shatang Flower were sold for prices ranging from a few hundred, a few thousand, to the more expensive tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand. If this wasn't great love, what was?

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Road repair is a meritorious deed. If it's done in your son's name, it will also bring him benefits. I won't stop you."

Hu Yuchun laughed, "That's great! I'll start preparing as soon as I get back!"

After the conversation between her father and Jiang Yingxue paused slightly, Hu Qiwen, still tightly holding her brother's hand, bowed sincerely to Jiang Yingxue to express her gratitude. "Boss Jiang, thank you for your Shatang Flower saving my brother!"

Hu Ruichuan also expressed his thanks to Jiang Yingxue. He glanced at the pot of Spiritual Flowers on the edge of the stall's table, then looked up at Jiang Yingxue and said, "Sister Jiang, can I buy a pot of Shatang Flower? I promise to take good care of it!"

Jiang Yingxue smiled, "No need to buy it. I'll give you a pot tomorrow and have your sister bring it home for you." Since your father is going to repair the roads for Nanhe Village, I won't charge for the Shatang Flower.

Hu Ruichuan said, "Tomorrow, I'll come myself to take the Shatang Flower home! Thank you, Sister!"

"Sister Jiang, can I get a membership card too?"

Shi Fang'ai said, "Boss Jiang, I'd like to apply for one as well."
