“You, you, you…”
Sister Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak. She pointed in the direction Wencai left, her eyes wide open and her teeth gnashed.
"Biyun! Wencai is sick with a high fever and talking nonsense! Don't take it to heart. But if you say that, anyone would be angry. It's getting late, let's go back to bed!"
The old lady came out to smooth things over. Although she didn't want to make enemies with her neighbors, she also didn't want to see others deliberately humiliating her son. She thought she had done her best. After saying this, she walked towards her house.
Shumei knew that Sister Liu had a lot on her mind, so she ran over to explain to Sister Liu while the old aunt and the others had gone back to the house.
"Sister Liu, don't be angry. Wencai and the others are mad at me. I'm so sorry for getting you scolded. I'll come over tomorrow to help you pickle Jerusalem artichokes. That's Wencai's way of apologizing to you."
When Sister Liu heard that Shumei was going to help her pickle Jerusalem artichokes, her anger subsided a lot.
"It's okay, I'm not that stingy, just go back to sleep!"
"Okay, then Sister Liu, I'll go back to the house first."
Sister Liu waved to Shumei to go back! After Shumei returned to the house, Sister Liu and her husband walked towards the house, muttering to themselves.
"What kind of people are in this family? Pah! They're not even as good as the nanny."
The lights in the courtyard gradually went out, and everyone turned off the lights and went to bed. The small storm finally calmed down, and the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.
Wencai rushed into the room, closed the door and went to sleep. Shumei originally thought that he would not let her have an easy time tonight after suffering such humiliation, but unexpectedly, Wencai was unexpectedly quiet.
The next day, Shumei bought groceries, cooked, and cleaned the house as usual.
Wencai slept until noon as usual. When he got up, he asked Shumei to bring breakfast to him. After he ate and drank his fill, he sat down on the sofa.
"Kang Shumei! Kang Shumei, you're actually still in the mood to clean. Don't you think you should do something for me?"
"Master, I know I embarrassed you yesterday. What do you want me to do? Tell me!"
Shumei stopped sweeping and raised her hunched body. After a moment's pause, she walked over to Wencai with a broom in hand, a friendly expression on her face, and answered him in a gentle voice.
"Humph! What can you do? What can you do? Besides sweeping the floor, cooking, and washing clothes, what else can you do?"
"How about I make you something delicious? Stir-fried pork intestines?"
"Go away, go away! You've committed a grave sin that has hurt my self-esteem. Do you think you can get rid of me with just a bowl of stir-fried pig intestines?"
Wen Cai stood up from the sofa, his expression becoming a little ferocious because of anger.
"So what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Whenever I see your disgusting face, I'll be reminded of the scene of being ridiculed by them last night. I want you to leave, get out of my house, and never appear in front of me again."
Wencai was like an angry lion, furious. He pointed at his own door and roared at Shumei to get out of his house.
Shumei had been humble and kind because she felt guilty about what happened last night. But now that Wencai was pushing things too far, she couldn't care less. She had promised her aunt that she would help Wencai turn back from his ways and she couldn't let him do what he wanted.
Shumei shook the broom in her hand and stood up straight.
"It was Sister Meng who hired me, not you, Young Master Li. You have no right to kick me out. And from now on, take care of your own business. Stop ordering me around all day. If you want someone to serve you, go earn your own money and hire a nanny. You have the energy to yell at me, but not the energy to support yourself? A man of your stature still has to rely on his parents for support. Compared to that, the humiliation last night was nothing."
Shumei started to lecture Wencai confidently, but Wencai could not bear her harsh words. He rushed towards Shumei angrily, and the two of them chased each other around the sofa.
"You, you, you... Kang Shumei, you're so rebellious. Am I the nanny or are you? How dare you scold me? If you have the guts, just stand there and don't move. I'm going to strangle you to death today."
Wencai cursed as he lunged at Shumei, pressing her down with the sofa. Shumei swiftly backed away, avoiding being crushed by the sofa, but she couldn't escape Wencai's body. He pounced on her, pinning her down firmly.
Seeing that Wencai's mouth was about to touch Shumei's, Shumei wanted to turn her face away quickly, but she couldn't avoid it, and the two kissed mouth to mouth.
It was Wencai's first time to be so intimate with someone of the opposite sex. He was a little overwhelmed and stood there motionless. The two of them were so close that they could almost hear each other's surging heartbeats.
Shumei came to her senses first and stretched out her hands to push Tuicai away.
The noise was probably too loud, and the old lady who was sunbathing in the yard came back inside. When she entered the house, she was shocked to see the messy living room and the posture of Shumei and Wencai.
"What's going on? You two look like you've been possessed."
Hearing the old aunt's voice, Wencai came to his senses and quickly climbed up from Shumei. Shumei also climbed up awkwardly, and both of them looked extremely embarrassed.
Shumei quickly lowered her head to pick up the overturned sofa and pick up the cushions that Wencai had thrown everywhere.
"Mom, what kind of nanny is this? She dared to teach me a lesson and even fought with me. Am I the nanny or is she the nanny?"
Wencai was stunned for a while, then ran to the old aunt, grabbed her arm like a child, pointed at Shumei and started to complain.
The old aunt pushed Wencai's hand away and walked into the room while saying earnestly: "I heard everything Shumei said at the door. I think she is right. From now on! No matter what Shumei says or does to you, I will stand by Shumei and fully support her work. Shumei, just go ahead and do it. I have your strong support."
