Liu Lanhua gritted her teeth and followed carefully, watching the man walk towards the west with his neck shrunk.
"This thing, why is he not sleeping at home so early in the morning? I don't know what he is doing outside. If it's really... I..."
Boss Song pushed open the half-closed gate of Widow Wang's house with ease.
Liu Lanhua's eyes were red, her teeth were clenched, and she lay at the door with her ears perked up to listen to the movement inside.
"Ah~ My hands are so cold~"
"Baby, you are so cruel not to warm your husband's hands."
"You're so annoying! You're not quiet even with a wound on your face, and you even ran off to someone else's place. Aren't you afraid that bitch from your family will find out?"
"Just in time to find out. I've been fed up with that idiot for a long time. When the time comes, I'll take my sweetheart..."
.....
“Ahh—”
Liu Lanhua rushed in madly and started beating up the naked man and woman lying on the kang, cursing loudly.
"You slut who needs a man, you've seduced men and now you've got me, I'm going to beat you to death..."
"What's going on? Why are you arguing?"
"Tsk tsk tsk....Widow Wang, this slut, has lured someone home with her. She's not even afraid that her dead man will come back in the middle of the night to settle the score with her."
The surrounding neighbors were woken up by the noise from Widow Wang's house early in the morning and were now watching the excitement in Widow Wang's yard.
It was already November, winter, and Widow Wang was dragged out of the house by Liu Lanhua with her arms bare. The two women were fighting fiercely in the yard, scratching, grabbing and pulling each other.
"You're a slut who needs a man. Your legs become weak when you see a man and you can't even walk."
"It's better to be short of men than to be a fat black woman with no men to touch her."
"Ah~ Bitch, you slut with your legs spread wide open, I'm not Liu if I don't kill you, you slut who kills men."
Old Song put on his clothes skillfully and, looking at the crowd of onlookers in the yard, he had no choice but to go out and try to quickly pull apart the two women pulling his hair.
"Okay, stop fighting, it's not shameful."
"That's enough, Lanhua. Let's talk about it slowly when we get home. Don't make fun of us outside."
Seeing that the man was still taking sides and protecting the bitch, Liu Lanhua scratched, clawed and kicked the two of them like crazy.
"I'm going to fight you."
"You bitch, you're not done yet!" Boss Song covered his burning face. He got angry and slapped her. "Crazy bitch!"
Liu Lanhua covered her swollen skin with her hands, staring wide-eyed in disbelief, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
"Okay, you two, you two have teamed up to bully me. Come and see, this pair of dogs are having an affair..."
For a time, the affair between Old Man Song and Widow Wang caused a sensation in the entire brigade and became a topic of conversation in every household after dinner.
Du Xiaoying's family lived at the foot of a mountain some distance away from the village. Apart from Song Guoliang who accidentally passed by and heard it on his way to work in the morning, no one else in the family knew anything about it.
When Liu Da Jiao, Wang Fenglai and Zhao Taohua came to visit, Du Xiaoying was at home frying chestnuts with Wu Ya.
"Sister-in-law, I can smell the fragrance from far away. What are you doing at home?" Zhao Taohua sniffed.
Du Xiaoying quickly raised her head. "What a rare visitor! Why did you three come together today? I'm free, so I made some roasted chestnuts for the kids as a snack. It's a good idea for us to try them together."
Wang Fenglai swallowed hard, "Then I'll shamelessly try it. If it tastes good, I'll make it for my son Shuanzi and my baby when I get home."
Several women sat on the kang and talked about dividing the meat after the winter hunt. Du Xiaoying peeled several chestnuts for Wu Ya and listened to the three of them talking with a smile.
Liu Da Jiao smiled and sighed, "Our brigade took pity on us orphans and widows, and gave us some meat. If we save a little, we can still eat meat for a long time."
"But during this winter hunt, my son Erniu said that Brother Guoliang killed the most birds." Zhao Taohua said with a thumbs up.
Du Xiaoying paused. It seemed that Erniu's wife didn't know what happened on the mountain. She thought that maybe Erniu didn't tell her because he was afraid that Taohua would worry, so she didn't say much.
"Hey, do you all know about the affair between Boss Song and Widow Wang?" Liu Dajiao glanced at Wu Ya who was eating golden chestnuts in small bites and lowered his voice.
Du Xiaoying exclaimed, "What's this about Old Master Song and Widow Wang? What's going on?"
"Hey, your home is far from the village, so it's normal that you don't know." Liu Dajiao slapped his thigh and said vividly.
"I don't know how Liu Lanhua caught Boss Song and Widow Wang having an affair, and a scene broke out right away. I heard that Boss Song beat Liu Lanhua up badly to protect Widow Wang..."
Du Xiaoying felt a little regretful that she didn't see the excitement in person. "And then?"
Wang Fenglai touched her belly. "The team leader got furious on the spot and sent Boss Song to work repairing ditches in the commune. Widow Wang was also severely warned. If it weren't for her pity that her husband died early, leaving her with an orphan and a widow..."
.....
When Song Guoliang came back, he saw his wife humming in a good mood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Are you in such a good mood today?"
"Yeah~ I'm happy that the person who bullied our daughter is in trouble." Du Xiaoying did not hide her feelings and was in a very happy mood.
"Let's have egg dumpling soup tonight."
Song Guoliang put the things in his hand on the chopping board.
"What?"
"The supply and marketing cooperative is having a special supply of tofu today. I bought two pieces."
Du Xiaoying's eyes lit up when she heard it was tofu. Supplies were scarce that year, and tofu was a rare commodity. "I'll make some tofu with scallions tonight, and freeze the rest. I'll save the frozen tofu for the stew and eat it later."
"Just listen to my wife." Song Guoliang nodded with a smile, and hurriedly washed his hands to help.
"Bring me the salt..." Du Xiaoying ordered the man rudely, "Daya, your parents are in the main room, take your sisters inside."
“Hey~”
The sisters pursed their lips and giggled in response, then quickly pulled the little follower Wu Ya into the house.
"You know everything?"
"Well, Heimei Fenglai and the others came to visit and told me about it." Du Xiaoying snorted coldly, "Serves you right. Men are no good. They always want more while having their cake and eating it too."
Song Guoliang was choked and coughed non-stop, looking at his wife aggrievedly, "Wife, you can't just judge me by one stroke~"
Hearing the man's aggrieved voice, Du Xiaoying found it a little funny and quickly suppressed the smile on her lips.
.....
Old Song Family
Such a big thing happened, and the four Song brothers felt ashamed and stayed in the house, listening to the noise outside and being indifferent.
"You bitch, if it weren't for you, my eldest son would have been able to work repairing ditches. You jinx, you won't feel at ease until you break up this family. I'm going to beat you to death today..."
Old Mrs. Song pulled Liu Lanhua's hair, hit her with the broom, and cursed her.
Liu Lanhua was beaten so hard that she jumped up and down. She seized the opportunity to shake off Old Lady Song and ran out, standing with her hands on her hips and cursing.
"Bah! He's a slut and he still dares to hit me. He deserves it. Just wait for me, you old bastard!"
