My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 250: It’s so spicy that it reaches others’ ears.
Chapter 250: It’s so spicy that it reaches others’ ears.
The electricians had been busy for several days, and finally, the day for electrification had arrived.
It just so happened to be a Saturday.
Lin Tang and a few others who worked outside the village had all returned home.
At eight in the evening, the villagers had flocked to the threshing ground.
Together they awaited the moment to witness the electrification.
At night, mosquitoes buzzed incessantly around their ears.
Lin Tang expressionlessly slapped a blood-filled mosquito, slowly grinding it to dust.
She scratched her arm, which was beginning to swell into red welts.
"Mom, how long do we have to wait?"
Summer clothes were too scant to hide anything; she couldn’t even find a reason to take out the mosquito repellent spray.
Li Xiuli, who was excitedly watching the big lights of the threshing ground, turned her gaze back upon hearing Lin Tang’s words.
"At least until nine, I guess."
Lin Tang felt numb.
What were the folks at home hurrying here for?
Wouldn’t it be nice to come over when it’s time?
Unable to bear the harassment of mosquitoes, Lin Tang whispered to her mother, "Mom, I’ll go back and get something and come back later."
"...Can you ...,"
Just as she was about to ask ’can you manage,’ she thought of her daughter’s strength and swallowed the words that had reached the tip of her tongue.
"Yes! Go ahead, but be careful on the road."
Lin Tang nodded and headed home.
The threshing ground was in the direction close to Twin Blue Mountain, while the Lin Family home was on the other side of the village.
To go back home, there was the regular village road and a shorter path that wasn’t used as often.
The children of the village loved to scurry through the smaller paths.
Lin Tang had always been a good baby, scared of tearing her clothes, so she never took the short path.
Yet tonight, driven by some emotion, she turned and took the small path.
She’d only walked for less than two minutes.
Rustling sounds came from behind a pile of dirt, mixed with a few human voices.
"...Didn’t you promise to bring me a few more pounds of white flour? Where is it?" the woman complained in a hushed, discontented voice.
Chen Jiefang pulled the woman toward him like a fawning dog, his tone filled with urgency.
"Here, here, I’ll give it to you. Tomorrow I’ll bring it to you."
"My sweet apricot, let me kiss you. I’ve missed you to death; it’s been half a month," he mumbled.
"...Don’t kiss me randomly, you rascal."
Aunt Honghua playfully punched the man’s chest, coquettishly resisting.
"The handful of grains you brought last time is simply not enough; I’ve been starving and lost weight..."
Chen Jiefang’s attitude was a complete change from the lifeless facade he had at home.
His simple-looking face uttered flirtatious words that contradicted his appearance.
"Lost weight?! I didn’t notice," replied the hands, coarsened by callouses, as they roamed without restraint, showing impatience.
"...Ah! Brother Jiefang..." Aunt Honghua called out with mock coyness.
The voice, artificially high-pitched, made Chen Jiefang’s eyes grow even redder.
"Don’t rush, I’m coming..."
Under the tranquil moonlight, shameful sounds intermittently broke the silence.
Lin Tang, who accidentally heard it all: (˚ଳ˚۶)۶
The two of them, added up together, were surely at least eighty years old, calling each other ’dear’ and ’brother,’ could they be any more shameless?
Shameless was one thing, but they had to burn others’ ears with it.
So oily, one could fry food without any additional oil.
Thinking of Aunt Honghua, who worked honestly, managed her life diligently, and took especially good care of her home, Lin Tang shook her head in resignation.
Why couldn’t men appreciate what they had?
With a virtuous wife at home, their hearts were still ensnared by restless women outside.
Little did they know that if a woman could hook ’you,’ she could also hook other men.
You think you’re getting a free ride from her, but in reality, she’s ruining your home, taking your wealth, and inwardly calling you a fool.
A person’s life is so short, can’t we live it honestly? Why create such trouble?
"Ugh..."
Aunt Honghua, strangled by Chen Jiefang’s arm, struggled to breathe, squirming slightly.
"Brother Jiefang, loosen your grip a little..."
Though she said this, her grip on the man’s arm did not loosen.
It was unclear whether she wanted him to continue or to stop.
Chen Jiefang’s breathing became even heavier.
"I can’t let go! Don’t move, we’re short on time, let’s make this quick."
Lin Tang covered one ear with her hand to block out the noise.
She picked up a piece of broken brick.
She estimated the distance in her mind and threw it in the direction of the sounds.
As the brick left her hand, she turned and bounded away gleefully.
’Bang’—
Just as Chen Jiefang had pulled down his pants, a brick struck the back of his head.
"Ouch! My head."
Startled and in pain, he immediately went limp.
Clutching the back of his head, his body tilted.
Conveniently enough,
The brick fell once more, this time hitting the widow on her face.
Right on her nose and mouth.
"Mmph!!!"
The widow’s nose and mouth were in such pain that they tingled; two streams of warmth flowed from her nostrils.
There was also a taste of blood in her mouth.
"What the...,"
She began to speak and spat out a few teeth from her mouth.
In the pitch darkness, the widow couldn’t see how many teeth she had lost.
But she was acutely aware of the gaping holes where her front teeth used to be.
Chen Jiefang, clutching his head, got up frantically.
He cautiously looked around.
"There must have been someone here just now, you’d better go home and clean yourself up..."
With that, taking advantage of the dim moonlight, he took to his heels and ran.
Even the dizziness from blood loss was subconsciously ignored by him.
The widow thought: Man, your name is little brother! You sweet talk me when you’re undressing me, but you run faster than a rabbit when trouble comes.
Cursing inwardly, the widow also hurried from the spot.
She too feared being seen.
Her reputation in the village was already poor; she could not afford for it to get any worse.
Unaware that her brick had scared the adulterous pair half to death, Lin Tang got some mosquito repellent and headed back to the drying field.
When she arrived at the drying field, she encountered Yang Chunfang, who seemed much aged.
Ever since the news spread to the village that Liu Guohui had been arrested, Yang Chunfang had held a grudge against the Lin Family after they refused to help her.
Lin Tang bore the brunt of her wrath.
Seeing Lin Tang, Yang Chunfang couldn’t resist throwing a taunt, "Let’s see how long you can keep up this arrogance!"
"Walk the night road enough, and you’re bound to meet a ghost!"
Lin Tang nodded in agreement, her smile beaming:
"Aunt Yang is right, those who always play mind games with others eventually end up trapped by their own schemes and reap what they sow."
After making this point, she added another jab.
"Isn’t that what happened to Liu Guohui? He coveted other people’s possessions, but ended up getting himself sent to prison, and even accidentally left a criminal record."
"Ah, such a pity."
She said that, then her tone shifted as if she was somewhat helpless.
"But I’m different! Not to mention I won’t be unlucky, even if I were, I’ve got so many workers at home, I’ll never go hungry or toil."
Yang Chunfang’s eyes blazed with anger.
She longed to claw Lin Tang’s face off.
She noted that since her son had broken off his engagement with that wretched girl, the Lin Family’s fortune had been on the rise, while her own family had hit a decline.
Yang Chunfang felt it was Lin Tang, like a siren, who had siphoned off her family’s luck.
Lin Tang, facing Yang Chunfang’s malicious gaze, only became more spirited.
She feigned a dramatic gesture, patting her own forehead.
"Look at me, why am I talking about this?"
"Finding a job is quite simple for me, but it seems quite difficult for your family, doesn’t it?"
