Widow Zhang hadn't gone to bed yet, and there was a light in the room.
Erhua crouched down and walked outside the yard, took out his handkerchief and looked around.
It was very quiet at night, with no sound except the screams of ghosts.
He saw a brick on the ground, picked it up, wrapped his handkerchief around it, and threw it into the yard with a "bang".
"I told you to say that my mistress is a chicken that can't lay eggs. I can't scare you to death!"
Throwing bricks into someone's yard is something Erhua would do. I have to say that he did his best by not throwing it into the window.
"Who is it? Throwing firecrackers into the yard in the middle of the night!"
Widow Zhang heard a loud noise outside and came out cursing, in her haste she had no time to put her clothes on, one hand still clutching her collar.
Erhua quickly hid aside, but heard a man's voice following behind him.
"Be gentle! Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
"See? I think you're afraid others will see you! I'm telling you, I'm not afraid!"
Erhua frowned. Why did this voice sound familiar?
The wall of Widow Zhang's house was not even as high as a person. Erhua could see into the yard while hiding in the dark.
She came out of the house and walked into the yard, almost tripping over a brick. The man behind her held her waist and let go as soon as she stood firm.
"Scare you to death." Widow Zhang picked up the brick on the ground, on which was the handkerchief she had deliberately left for Erhua.
"You are so cowardly, why are you coming into my room?"
Erhua squinted his eyes and looked carefully again and again. The man's face could not be seen in the dark, but his figure was very familiar.
"Could it be..." Erhua had a suspicion in his mind, but immediately rejected his idea.
Because the man he suspected was a good man with a wife and children!
"Be gentle! I'm afraid people will see you and tarnish your reputation!"
That voice! That's Tang Jianming, no doubt! Luo Zhen's eldest cousin, a role model among his peers!
"Don't give me that!" Widow Zhang pushed him and cursed, "I think you're afraid your woman will find out!
However, I’m afraid someone already knows.”
She snorted coldly, and her almond-shaped eyes glanced coldly outside the yard. Erhua suddenly felt as if a piece of his forehead was cut off by her knife-like gaze.
He shrank back, and Widow Zhang and Tang Jianming didn't notice.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who? Who knows?" Tang Jianming looked around nervously.
"Hmph!" Widow Zhang snorted coldly and walked into the house.
"Hey, it's getting late. I have to go back."
Perhaps because he was afraid of exposing himself, Tang Jianming lost interest and planned to go home quickly.
"This is all you can do. Are you even a man?" Widow Zhang stepped over the threshold, turned around and smiled so hard that it gave people goosebumps.
"Why, don't you want to know who discovered us?"
Tang Jianming thought that he had to find out the truth, otherwise everyone would know it sooner or later. Then he looked at Widow Zhang with her collar untied and her face flushed, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy again and followed her into the house.
Only after the door was closed did Erhua dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He wiped his face and found it was covered in sweat. It turned out that he was even more nervous than Tang Jianming who was having an affair!
Erhua hurried home and closed the door, as if he had done something wrong.
He didn't have the heart to wash or anything, so he just took off his clothes and went to bed. Luo Zhen felt Erhua's back was wet with sweat in a daze.
"Why are you working so late?"
Luo Zhen asked with his eyes closed, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Ah, it's embarrassing to do just a little bit of work. I just want to finish it!"
Erhua was struggling along the way over whether he should tell Luo Zhen about this matter. He hadn't thought about it yet, so he decided to just talk about it casually.
Erhua had been feeling depressed about this for several days. He couldn't sleep for several nights in a row, and he felt listless and irritable.
Tang Jianming is the eldest among his peers in the Tang family, and everyone follows his lead.
This person is reliable and he takes care of all the family matters, and everyone is willing to listen to his arrangements.
When Erhua and Luo Zhen got married, he helped carry two baskets of big glutinous rice dumplings.
My cousin's wife is a first-class woman. She is tall and beautiful, standing out among a group of country women. Of course, in Erhua's heart, Luo Zhen is the prettiest.
Not to mention her appearance, my cousin's wife is gentle, virtuous, and filial to her parents. In comparison, Widow Zhang is not even up to par.
Could it be that if you eat too much good food, all the shit outside will smell good?
Thinking of this, Erhua couldn't help but spit on the ground and cursed: "Men are really bad!"
Later, he realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "Except me!"
There was a big pumpkin in the field. Erhua dug it out and saw that it was as long as an arm! He was immediately in a good mood. Luo Zhen likes to eat steamed pumpkin with sugar!
"Hey, Erhua, are you picking pumpkins?"
A familiar voice came from not far away. Erhua frowned. What was supposed to come finally came!
The stone in my heart will not fall to the ground unless I come!
Erhua straightened his face, stood up and greeted Tang Jianming.
"What a coincidence, brother, you're here to pick vegetables too?"
What a coincidence! He just saw you going into the field!
"Yes, yes, what a coincidence."
Tang Jianming's guilty nodding and bowing made Erhua very uncomfortable.
He straightened his back, which had been stiff and sore from squatting for so long. He looked around to see if there was anyone around, wondering what Tang Jianming was going to say.
"Erhua, your sister-in-law hasn't been feeling well lately. Oh, I'm worried..."
Well, this is to play the sympathy card.
"She's the type who can't be bothered. She gets dizzy and hot as soon as she hears something bad."
Erhua sat down on the edge of the field holding the pumpkin, and kicked around randomly, knocking down several of his own vegetable seedlings.
He didn't expect Tang Jianming to be this kind of person! The person he, Erhua, despised the most!
He had a lot to say, but Tang Jianming was not someone else, he was the eldest brother of the Tang family, and he couldn't just say it casually, he had to hold it in.
But using his sister-in-law as a shield and speaking in a roundabout way made him very angry.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. It's almost noon, and I need to go home and steam pumpkin for Luo Zhen!"
Erhua's tone was stiff, and Tang Jianming smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I can't delay your return.
As for what happened that day, you must not tell anyone, your sister-in-law..."
Erhua slammed the pumpkin onto the ground and asked, "Brother, please don't mention my sister-in-law. Are you ashamed to mention her?
What's so good about that slutty widow? Are you going to sneak into her room behind your sister-in-law's back?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I was confused for a moment..."
"I, Erhua, am a nobody. I can't do something like you!
Forget it, I'll keep this matter to myself, but you should break up with her as soon as possible, otherwise, the whole village will know about it.
You’ll see how to do it then!”
After Erhua's words, he had restrained himself to the extreme, and Tang Jianming nodded in agreement.
"Brother, don't promise me anything. This matter has nothing to do with me. Just be worthy of your sister-in-law in the future!"
