"Yes, hurry up and tell us. One of you lost your husband, and the other lost your wife. If you're going to get together, why are you doing it secretly?" Aunt Li continued to ask.
"We're just worried about what the villagers will say, and what we're even more afraid of is that my in-laws won't agree to me remarrying," Wang Laidi said with a bitter face.
"Your daughter is already married, and you have no son, so why can't you remarry?" everyone asked curiously.
"Oh, is that even a question? We're just worried that if she remarries, there will be no one to do the housework."
"She earns seven or eight work points a day working in the fields, enough to support a whole family," said an aunt who lives near Wang Laidi's house.
"Then their family is really despicable. Her husband has been dead for ten or eight years, hasn't he?"
"Why can't she remarry? Her daughter got married a couple of years ago," Aunt Li said angrily.
"Hey, calm down, calm down, Li Meizi, why are you so angry? You haven't asked that Feng Er yet, do you think he'll marry Wang Laidi?"
"Feng Er, you're all alone too. A few years ago, your wife suffered a severe hemorrhage during childbirth, and neither she nor the baby could be saved. You've been all alone ever since."
"Are you going to marry Wang Laidi? You can talk about it openly and honestly, why do you need to make trouble in the haystack?" Ma Dazui said.
After Ma Dazui finished speaking, he realized that the two of them were still naked. He had been too excited and hadn't considered this.
She immediately shouted, "Can any of you go to their house and get them a shirt and pants? They're both naked."
"I'll go, I'll go too."
Two of the women eagerly ran back to help them get their clothes because they wanted to go back to the village and tell other people who didn't know the situation.
Before long, the two women brought the clothes from their house.
Feng Er and Wang Laidi reached out to take the clothes and were about to put them on when everyone stared at them.
Seeing this, Ma Dazui shouted, "Everyone, turn around and let them put their clothes on first."
Everyone obediently turned around. Ma Dazui's influence in their village had always been number one; besides the village cadres, only she had that level of credibility.
Ma Dazui was extremely pleased with herself. She had seen the backsides of young people before, the time when Chen and He, the educated youths, were arrested.
Now, seeing Feng Er and Wang Laidi again, she felt her eyes becoming more and more bright.
Su Tian stood to the side, covering her mouth and laughing. Today's incident was considered revenge, and how things would develop was no longer her concern.
The brigade leader, the village chief, and even the village chief's wife, Liu Chunni, all rushed over.
By this time, Feng Er and Wang Laidi had already gotten dressed.
The captain was finally relieved to find that they were no longer the women who had spread rumors about them, with their big, white buttocks exposed.
"Feng Er, Wang Laidi, what are your plans for this matter?" the captain asked sternly.
Feng Er and Wang Laidi looked at each other, neither of them saying a word.
Seeing this, the village chief also spoke up, saying, "If you don't say anything, the village will treat it as a public parade."
“Yes, things have come to this point, and you still haven’t told me your plans. Wang Mei, hurry up and tell me,” Liu Chunni said.
Wang Laidi looked at Liu Chunni and glared at her fiercely.
Su Tian noticed Wang Laidi's gaze. Did she have a grudge against Aunt Chunni? That look was like she wanted to kill someone.
Liu Chunni also noticed the look in her cousin's eyes; even after all these years, she still harbored hatred towards her.
The two met in the village, but they acted like strangers and didn't exchange a single word.
Wang Laidi gritted her teeth and finally spoke: "Captain, village chief, we are truly in love, and I want to marry Feng Er."
These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
If you're truly in a relationship, don't cause trouble outside of it.
The captain looked at Wang Laidi, then at Feng Er, and said, "And you, Feng Er, are you as Wang Laidi described?"
Feng Er hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "It's just as she said."
He only intended to have some fun with Wang Laidi, but their affair was discovered.
He had no intention of remarrying; he felt he would be letting down his deceased wife and children if he did.
But he was still young, only in his forties, and despite his strong physique, he was very thirsty for that kind of thing, so he sought out Wang Laidi, who was also a widow.
The village chief cleared his throat: "This matter has a significant impact, and we need time to discuss it. You should all go home and wait for news."
"Everyone, disperse and hurry back to cook. It's getting dark," the captain shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone obediently dispersed.
Then he turned to Feng Er and Wang Laidi and said, "You two go back first, and our village officials will give you a reply as soon as possible."
After the captain finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Second brother, we've been found out. What are we going to do now? Do you want to marry me? We've been together for two years," Wang Laidi said weakly.
Feng Er remained silent. If he didn't marry Wang Laidi, the two of them would be considered to be having an affair and would be criticized and denounced by the villagers.
If he married her, he would feel somewhat resentful and unwilling.
Well, since they're both single anyway, let them marry each other.
After marrying him, she won't have to work in the haystack anymore, and she can give him a son.
"Go ahead and marry her, then we'll see what the village says," Feng Er finally gave Wang Laidi his answer.
"Second Brother, I knew you loved me. I'm waiting for you to come and marry me," Wang Laidi said, her eyes brimming with tears.
