Just when Lin Yifan was wondering how to shake off this "clinging plaster," Xu Fengxian’s voice floated over from a distance.
"Wow, that’s big talk. I’m a virtuous widow; can you claim the sa?"
With her hands on her hips, she gave Widow Zhao a disdainful sideways glance.
Taking a step forward, she directly wrapped her arm around Lin Yifan’s arm.
"If you could, Zhao Bashi wouldn’t have died in disgrace."
In the dead of night in the small mountain village, the two widows had quite the encounter.
Widow Zhao glared at Xu Fengxian with resentnt.
The "at in her mouth" being snatched away filled her with hatred.
"Stop being so glib. We’re both widows; one shouldn’t laugh at the other. You’re no better off than I am."
"Whether I’m better or not, anyone with eyes can see. Before I beca a widow, there was only one man in my house. Even as a widow, my courtyard is clean. At most, soone peeks through the fence, unlike you. When Zhao Bashi was alive, you climbed haystacks and sneaked into cornfields with wild n. Even after becoming a widow, your ho can’t find peace. It’s one jealous spat after another every few days."
Xu Fengxian’s mouth was indeed sharp.
Her words made Widow Zhao’s face turn beet red.
"That’s because you don’t know what n like. I can make any man crazy over , unlike a certain log who just lies there like a dead fish. That’s why only I can bring you happiness; however you want to play, I’ll play with you."
Widow Zhao, being bold, stuck out her chest without hesitation.
Her eyes were full of bewitching glint.
"Look at your shaless face, thicker than a city’s wall. A thousand n might have slept with you, but you still dare to say it out loud. Even if I sleep with one, I know how to serve the man. Sleeping with soone like you, I’d have to get checked for a disease afterward!"
Xu Fengxian stared coldly at Widow Zhao.
She knew the book on causing a scene and cracking jokes.
"Whether I have sha is none of your business. Knowing how to enjoy life is most important. If I’m going to fool around, I’m going to do it openly. I like serving n and making them feel really good, unlike so people who pretend to be pure but who knows what they’re up to behind closed doors."
Widow Zhao crossed her arms with a smug look.
The more they talked back and forth, the louder they beca.
Stuck in the middle, Lin Yifan could only keep his mouth shut.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Xu Fengxian, nor did he have eyes for Widow Zhao.
It’s just that every word these two won said had turned vulgar.
He truly couldn’t get a word in.
As the situation seed to escalate, Dong Jiufeng ca running from afar, reigniting hope in Lin Yifan.
"Yifan, sothing’s happened!"
Sweat-drenched, Dong Jiufeng ran over to Lin Yifan, looking anxious.
"Take your ti, what happened?"
Though Lin Yifan was glad for her interruption,
he was more worried about what could’ve made her so anxious.
"Xizhu is at ho, surrounded by his coworkers."
Jiufeng looked at Lin Yifan with panic.
At such tis, he was the only one she could think of.
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll go check it out."
He grabbed Xu Fengxian and left, not giving her another chance to argue.
Though Xu Fengxian was simring, she could only glare angrily at Widow Zhao.
"Yifan, co to my room after you’re done. I’ll be waiting for you, dear."
Widow Zhao crossed her arms and shouted towards Lin Yifan.
But at that mont, only the backs of three people were left.
"Widow Zhao, you won’t have Lin Yifan tonight, I’ll keep you company instead."
In the darkness, Liu the Sixth limped over.
With a mischievous grin, he reached out to touch Widow Zhao’s back.
Unexpectedly, Widow Zhao turned around and slapped him straight to the ground.
"Do you even know what you are? You think you can climb onto my bed?"
Widow Zhao spat coldly, her face stern.
"You wretched woman, how dare you hit ? I’ll kill you!"
Liu the Sixth didn’t expect to suffer a loss.
He got up, ready to throw a punch.
"Go ahead and hit , and my man will make you a cripple in minutes."
Widow Zhao took a step forward.
One sentence made Liu the Sixth lower his raised hand.
After all, the n behind this woman weren’t pushovers either.
"Widow Zhao, that’s not what I ant. I was just trying to comfort you. Widow Liu doesn’t care for , and Lin Yifan doesn’t care for you; we’re in the sa boat, aren’t we? Besides, what’s one more man to your many? Let take care of you tonight."
Liu the Sixth licked his lips and offered a smile.
Widow Zhao’s revealing clothes made his blood boil.
"There isn’t a man I want that I can’t have. I’ll get Lin Yifan in my bed for sure."
With that, Widow Zhao turned and walked toward her yard.
Liu the Sixth wanted to follow, but didn’t dare, and eventually left dejectedly.
......
The courtyard of Xizhu’s ho was brightly lit.
The several motorcycles parked at the entrance belonged to the people drinking at his house.
Lin Yifan kicked open the door, rushing in with Xu Fengxian and Dong Jiufeng.
In the courtyard, Xizhu was sitting on the ground, bleeding from the head and reeking of alcohol.
The others were gathered around Xizhu.
"Who dares hurt my brother!"
Seeing this, Lin Yifan grabbed a wooden stick from the door and charged forward.
His fierce tiger-like montum scared the others into backing away instantly.
"No... It wasn’t them... I hit myself!"
Seeing things about to go south, Xizhu suddenly got up from the ground and held Lin Yifan.
"Xizhu, what are you saying? You hit yourself? Are you insane!"
Seeing Xizhu’s head bleeding continuously, Lin Yifan’s eyes were full of anger.
He couldn’t believe Xizhu would hurt himself.
"Really... Xizhu did it to himself..."
"It wasn’t us... He hit himself with a bottle..."
"We didn’t lay a hand on him!"
The others quickly waved their hands to deny it.
This sight left Lin Yifan stunned.
"Yifan, I felt useless, so I hit myself with a bottle. Don’t get mad!"
Xizhu’s shaky words made Lin Yifan put down the stick.
"Are you stupid, injuring yourself like that? Get the first aid kit, quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fengxian and Dong Jiufeng rushed towards the clinic.
anwhile, Lin Yifan seated Xizhu on a chair, switched on the light in the courtyard, and started looking for glass shards in the wound.
"Brother, I’m just so frustrated. The guys pooled together tens of thousands for to give as gifts, but it didn’t work out. I said I’d take care of it, but the guys wouldn’t agree, so I felt useless."
Xizhu wiped his eyes, lanting through tears.
"Xizhu, if not for you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. What’s a bit of money? Just consider it spent on food and drink."
"Exactly, what’s a few grand? Are we not going to live? Doesn’t stop us from eating and drinking."
"Xizhu, don’t be upset. We rural folks can’t operate as slickly as city folks. Just be cautious next ti."
"Anyway, I won’t take back the money. If you insist, you might as well hit with a bottle."
The guys surrounded Xizhu, comforting him with various words.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yifan felt very relieved.
In tis of trouble, you see people’s true colors—these were indeed true brothers.
Finally, he had sothing to say.
"Earning money isn’t hard."
