The child had never seen a motorcycle before and couldn't understand what it was, so he named it after the horse in his mother's story, thinking it was a big red horse.
Uncle had never been to the house before, and this was the first time that Xiao Wang had seen his mother let a man into the yard, which aroused a lot of curiosity in his young mind.
The bamboo horse I used to love riding has become less fun now.
Inside the room, Tan Yun sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) like a man, laughing sarcastically: "What, you've changed the person today? I didn't know that this military kid could have such a generous friend like you."
Wang Tianxiao sat in a chair next to the main table, looking around at the room's layout, which looked quite nice.
This proves that the woman is not short of money in her daily life.
When he entered the room, he deliberately observed the little child running around in the yard. The child's appearance was very familiar, as if he had seen him before. It was just like Liu Jun, who looked exactly like him.
That's right, this Tan Yun is Liu Jun's lover.
After the past lives of Liu Jun and Tan Yun were revealed, the people at the station discussed it extensively, filling in the gaps in the story from various angles.
Gradually, a complete story emerged.
Liu Jun is a forest ranger patrolling the Ziwu Ridge. One day, while patrolling the mountain, he encountered a woman being chased by wolves and became the hero who saved her.
That woman was Tan Yun.
When he was young, he was fairly good-looking. It just so happened that Tan Yun's husband was useless, and Tan Yun had a strong need in that area.
And so, by some strange twist of fate, the two ended up having an affair.
After their first time and the initial success, the two became unstoppable, using the excuses of patrolling the mountains and picking mushrooms to meet countless times in the mountains, to the point that Tan Yun became pregnant.
Old Wang was an honest man who was unaware that he was being cheated on. He didn't suspect anything after the child was born, assuming it was his own child and raising it diligently.
Tan Yun and Liu Jun's secret rendezvous never stopped; they would meet almost every month in the deep mountains near Wangzhuang for a passionate encounter.
Tan Yun knew that Liu Jun had a wife, but it didn't matter, since it wasn't his business anyway.
As long as I can get money from Liu Jun regularly, I don't care about wives or anything like that. I didn't care about that when I had my first time with someone else.
"Well, I'm here today because I have something to tell you. This is also Liu Jun's idea," Wang Tianxiao said, looking at Tan Yun with a faint expression. This young widow possessed a primal, wild charm that made people want to conquer her. Her body, wrapped in coarse cloth, was plump but not greasy. Liu Jun must have been captivated by this body many times, unable to extricate himself.
Why didn't Liu Jun come himself?
"He...he's not feeling well and has been hospitalized."
Wang Tianxiao deliberately made it sound like he was covering up a fact.
Sure enough, Tan Yun immediately noticed what he was trying to hide in his words and sneered, "What can't this military kid say to his face? Why send you, the middleman, to be his advocate?"
"That's not important."
Wang Tianxiao said calmly, "Liu Jun means that he's about to be promoted to station manager, and a station manager must maintain excellent conduct, so he can't leave too many handles on him because of his personal conduct..."
At this point, Wang Tianxiao took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and pushed it across the table. "This is two hundred yuan. Liu Jun asked me to give it to you. This is his savings from a long time. After you take the money, forget about him completely, as if you had never met."
"Smack!"
Tan Yun was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then her expression changed drastically. She slammed her hand on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), sending countless bits of dirt flying. She sneered:
“That soldier’s kid has really made something of himself. He takes off his pants and goes to the pit, then puts them back on and chases people away. What does he take me, Tan Yun, for? Two hundred yuan? Is that how you treat a beggar? I’ve worked so hard to raise his son here, while he’s out enjoying a life of luxury. Now, for some damn farm manager, he’s going to abandon us, a widow and her orphan. He’s delusional!”
Wang Tianxiao frowned and said impatiently, "Don't be impulsive. I advise you to be sensible. Although you two had a relationship, who can prove it? He's someone who's going to do big things now. Giving you two hundred yuan is already quite generous. Don't push your luck. I advise you to keep it."
"Don't even think about it!"
Although Tan Yun is a rural woman, her thinking is not bad at all; she is very clear-headed.
She knew that if she maintained a long-term relationship with Liu Jun, he would be her meal ticket, but if she just bought him off like this, who would take care of her life in the future?
Then there would be no place to settle down.
No matter how you look at it, it's a losing proposition, so she definitely won't agree to it.
“This isn’t a matter of whether you want to or not,” Wang Tianxiao said with a faint smile. “To be honest, even if Liu Jun is just playing around with you, he won’t really take you seriously. You should be grateful that he asked me to make arrangements for you. If things continue like this, no one will benefit, and you will end up with nothing.”
"Can't get him?" Tan Yun sneered, "If I can't get him, how good will Liu Jun be? I'm going all out. At worst, we'll just break up and neither of us will be happy."
Why bother?
Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly, "You two did have a relationship after all. Even if you can't be together, don't make things so awkward. Besides, you're not Liu Jun's first wife. His first wife gave birth to several sons, so he's bound to consider the children raised by his first wife as his successors. You need to be more open-minded..."
"What the hell do I want?" Tan Yun was furious. "When he was unbuckling my belt, why didn't he mention his own son? Now he's bringing it up."
"No way, he should have told you from the beginning that he had a wife."
“…So what?” Tan Yun’s voice faltered. “Even if he has a wife, that’s not what he told me. Anyway, we can’t just let it go like this.”
“This doesn’t really make any sense,” Wang Tianxiao said, turning his fingers over and over with a nonchalant expression. “If you think two hundred yuan is too little, we can discuss it. But don’t even think about going to see him or causing a scene at the station.”
He looked up at Tan Yun and said calmly, "It's best not to make a scene. He won't see you anyway. He'll have a million excuses to make sure you can't find any evidence. In the end, you'll lose everything, not even the two hundred yuan. You'd better think about yourself and your child, and see what you'll do in the future."
Tan Yun didn't reply immediately. Suddenly, her eyes turned cold as she carefully examined Wang Tianxiao, looking him in the eye and coldly asking, "You weren't sent by Liu Jun, were you?"
