"You old woman, you dare to cheat on me with another man?" Huang Yanfen's husband, Bai Dajiang, didn't know what the "Old Wang from the next village" joke was, nor had he ever met Old Wang. But that didn't stop him from understanding what Bai Nuo meant. Old Wang was a man, and he was having an affair with his wife. He was being cuckolded.
At that moment, Bai Dajiang stared at Huang Yanfen and asked.
"No, Dajiang, I didn't. Bai Nuo made it all up. She's holding a grudge because I said she stole something," Huang Yanfen quickly explained. "How could you believe something a fool like her would say?"
"Uncle Dajiang, my aunt's underwear is still at Old Wang's house. I saw it, it's red!" Bai Nuo hadn't gone far when he heard Huang Yanfen's words and turned around to shout loudly.
"No, no, sir, it's not like that!" Huang Yanfen was on the verge of tears, waving her hands repeatedly. Seeing Bai Dajiang's expression growing increasingly fierce, she wanted to grab a hoe and hit Bai Nuo. "You stupid idiot, what nonsense are you spouting? You wretched woman who brings misfortune to your husband and family and will use a chamber pot!"
But before she could leave, Bai Dalin pulled her back, saying, "Don't you have a pair of red underwear that you haven't worn in a long time? You're telling me you lost them?"
Bai Dajiang lived with Huang Yanfen every day, tirelessly working on her belly, so he naturally knew how many pieces of underwear Huang Yanfen had.
"Ah!" Huang Yanfen fell into the mud, her buttocks hurting so much it felt like they were about to split open, but she didn't dare to say it hurt. She could only look up at Bai Dajiang and say, "They're lost, didn't you know that too?" When the red underwear was lost, Huang Yanfen told Bai Dajiang immediately, and Bai Dajiang even helped look for it, but he couldn't find it either.
"I don't think it's lost at all!" Bai Dajiang was furious. Hadn't he been good enough to this woman? He handed over his daily grain tax and gave her his monthly wages. He never complained about her being so fat, yet she did something so unfair to him. He was absolutely furious!
"You left with Old Wang, that's why you told me you were lost. Otherwise, how would Bai Nuo know? She's just a child and doesn't understand, but I do!"
As Bai Dajiang spoke, he slapped Huang Yanfen across the face, making her see stars.
"I don't even know who Lao Wang is!" Huang Yanfen really cried.
"I think you just don't want to hand over that adulterer. Let me tell you, I'll never forgive you for cuckolding me!" Bai Dajiang and Huang Yanfen were making a huge scene, and everyone working in the fields saw it, including Bai Nuo. But she didn't feel sorry for Huang Yanfen at all. Hitting a woman was certainly despicable, but if Huang Yanfen hadn't treated her like this, she wouldn't have come up with such a vicious method.
When they arrived in town, it was still early. Bai Nuo looked at the sky; the sun had just shone on some rooftops, and it was just past 11:30 AM. There weren't many people on the street yet, and many vendors were waiting for customers.
The aroma of the steamed buns wafted directly into Bai Nuo's nose. She wasn't one to make things difficult for herself, so after spending a copper coin to buy a bun and taking a bite, Bai Nuo went straight to Jiang San Niang's shop. At that moment, Jiang Qiao'er had just opened the door, and Bai Nuo saw her from afar, greeting her warmly, "Miss Qiao'er!"
Jiang Qiao'er looked up and saw Bai Nuo. She smiled and waved to Bai Nuo.
Although she thought this person was a good person, she couldn't get over the behavior of her when she came to her store to sell things last time. But her sister said that customers are all customers, and you can't give them a hard time, because you never know when the next order will be placed.
Jiang Qiao'er always kept her sister's words in mind, which is why she didn't treat Bai Nuo coldly.
"Qiao'er, have you eaten?" Bai Nuo swallowed the last bite of the bun before going up to talk to Jiang Qiao'er.
"I ate..." Jiang Qiao'er's attitude was more indifferent than enthusiastic. "What brings you here again? You have those bracelets again?"
Bai Nuo brought the bracelet that her sister had sold for fifty taels of silver, so she also cared a lot about the bracelet.
However, she didn't plan to tell Bai Nuo about this.
"No..." Pearls aren't something you can just find like that. Even if she has a lot of freshwater mussels, that's true, but she still needs time to collect them.
"I'm here to see your sister about something. Is Third Sister, the shopkeeper, here?"
"Come in, my sister is still upstairs, please wait a moment," Jiang Qiao'er said.
After Bai Nuo followed Jiang Qiao'er in, Jiang San Niang quickly came downstairs. Upon seeing Bai Nuo, Jiang San Niang assumed that Bai Nuo had come to sell her bracelets, and hurriedly said, "You have those bracelets again? Sell them all to me, and I'll give you an extra ten taels of silver."
Upon hearing Jiang Sanniang's words, Bai Nuo knew that Jiang Sanniang had sold her bracelet for a good price. However, she was neither jealous nor felt she had lost out. Jiang Sanniang had connections, while she did not. The fact that Jiang Sanniang was able to add ten taels of silver was already considered generous. She couldn't let others not earn anything at all.
"No, I'm here today to ask the shopkeeper for a favor," Bai Nuo said with a smile.
“Tell me!” Jiang San Niang was a bold and forthright woman. If she knew martial arts, Bai Nuo thought she would definitely become a female knight-errant. “As long as I can help, I will definitely help you.”
Bai Nuo readily explained the matter, and Jiang San Niang breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was a big deal. As long as it doesn't affect my business, it's up to you."
After the two finished discussing things, Bai Nuo wasn't in a hurry to leave. Seeing that there was no one else around, she stayed and talked with Jiang San Niang. Bai Nuo could be very witty and humorous when she wanted to, which quickly brought her and Jiang San Niang closer together.
