Luo Jingyan and Uncle Li Jiu heard footsteps coming in and looked towards the door, where they saw Li Hongying walking towards them.

Luo Jingyan felt that Uncle Li Jiu probably didn't know Li Hongying, and even if he did, they couldn't have had any dealings with her.

Based on her interactions with Uncle Li Jiu over this period, the old man is usually stubborn and too concerned with saving face, but he is actually a fairly honest and simple person. He shouldn't have any dealings with someone like Li Hongying.

Besides, with such a large age difference between them, what common ground could they possibly have?

However, rumors have been circulating in the village these past two days that Li Hongying is always following behind some men. Although she hasn't done anything outrageous, this behavior has attracted the attention of many women. As long as Li Hongying crosses any boundaries with their men, they will attack her.

She had already severed ties with Li Hongying long ago, so could it be that Li Hongying came specifically to see Uncle Li Jiu?

She even preyed on the old men in the village?

Then, she thought of something else. Li Hongying had wanted to work at the winery through her before, perhaps because she couldn't get through to her, so she turned her attention to Uncle Li.

I wonder how she'll launch her offensive against Uncle Li Jiu in a little while.

Is it better to gently coax and entice step by step, or to go all out and pounce on the old man, leaving him defenseless, and then take him down in one fell swoop?

Luo Jingyan was already looking forward to it.

She wanted to see how the old man would deal with Li Hongying, so she deliberately walked away quietly, leaving Uncle Li alone in the same spot.

After Luo Jingyan left, she stood behind a large wooden barrel, observing the situation.

Uncle Li, however, was engrossed in his work and paid no attention to Li Hongying's arrival.

Because she thought Li Hongying was looking for Luo Jingyan, since a young girl would definitely be looking for another young girl, not a decrepit old man like him.

Besides, he wasn't familiar with Li Hongying; they'd never even exchanged a word. Li Hongying definitely wasn't there to see him.

Then, to his surprise, after Li Hongying went inside, she didn't go looking for Luo Jingyan at all, and didn't even give Luo Jingyan a glance. Instead, she came straight to him.

He was puzzled for a second. What was Li Hongying trying to do?

The next second, he was still wondering if Li Hongying had gone the wrong way?

In the third second, he finally remembered what his wife had told him after he returned home these past two days—the rumors about Li Hongying seducing other men in the village. Could it be that Li Hongying, unable to seduce any young men, had turned her attention to him?

Oh my, what kind of heavy taste is this? They don't even spare this old geezer.

He was so frightened that his legs almost went weak.

He's an old man, he can't handle it!

Before Li Hongying could even approach, he quickly stepped aside, trying to stay as far away from her as possible, his gaze darting away as if Li Hongying were some ancient demon.

He's quite old, and he's always had an excellent reputation in the village. We can't let any rumors spread in his old age and ruin his reputation.

The result was that when he tried to hide, Li Hongying would chase after him.

Seeing that Uncle Li was avoiding her, Li Hongying, in order to make her approach Uncle Li less abrupt, found an excuse to get closer to him: "Uncle, I came in to ask you a question."

Uncle Li waved his hand at her, "I don't know you, why are you asking me questions?"

“Because, because I’ve heard of your reputation in the village, and no one else knows the answer to this question, so I can only ask you.” As he spoke, he took another step forward, and Uncle Li Jiu took a step back, determined to keep his distance from her.

"You don't need to come over. Just ask me whatever you want."

Li Hongying estimated the distance between herself and Uncle Li Jiu to be about six or seven meters. She needed to take another four or five steps before Uncle Li Jiu would enter the area detected by her system.

But as soon as she moved forward, Uncle Li would immediately retreat, playing a game of hide-and-seek with her around the large pots and wooden barrels in the distillery.

Li Hongying was secretly annoyed. She really didn't know why this old geezer had been avoiding her. She couldn't possibly eat him.

"Uncle, why are you avoiding me? I won't do anything to you."

"Then just ask me a question, why do you keep chasing after me?" Uncle Li retorted.

"Me, me." She glanced at Luo Jingyan, and immediately had an idea.

"Uncle, I want to ask you a question that I don't want others to hear, so I need to be closer to you. Don't move, I'm coming over."

Her words made Uncle Li think even more about it. See? You can't let others hear it. What kind of whispers need to be kept so secret?

He was so embarrassed that he blushed.

"Hey, patriotic wife, you should go now. I have to work. I don't know you well, so there's nothing to say. Don't ask me any more questions; I don't want to talk to you about anything. You should go find some of the younger guys. There aren't any in our brigade, so try looking in other brigades." Someone will eventually talk to you.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I really have something very important to tell you. It's not what you think. You'll understand when you hear it. What I'm saying is indeed something that will be very useful to you."

"Even if it's useful, I don't need it."

"Uncle!"

Uncle Li saw that Li Hongying was pestering him relentlessly, and that continuing to pester her was not a solution; he had to get rid of Li Hongying as soon as possible.

“Patriotic wife, if you delay your work again, I will tell the brigade leader and have him punish you.”

"Uncle, I only have one sentence to say to you, it won't take up your time."

"I don't want to talk to you. If you come any closer, I'm going to sue you for molesting an old man."

"I didn't mean to assault you."

"Even if you had that thought, you wouldn't admit it," Uncle Li firmly believed.

He was popular with young girls when he was young, and he can't settle down even when he's old. Oh, what a damn charm he has to do with it.

"Uncle, if I wanted to molest you, I wouldn't be human."

"Okay, now you're a dog."

"Uncle, you must be joking."

Seeing that he couldn't shake off Li Hongying no matter what he did, Uncle Li suddenly cast a pleading look at Luo Jingyan.

He was an old man who dared not approach Li Hongying, nor could he be violent towards her. At least there was Luo Jingyan here, and he hoped that Luo Jingyan could help him drive Li Hongying out of the winery.
