Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 29: The Constables Arrive

This is the way it is in the countryside, where people love to gossip about each other.

Whenever there’s no farm work, people from the village like to gather together. The n sit with the n, the won with the won, and they chat idly, especially the village won who love to gossip and spread rumors.

Chen Mo felt this deeply, such as the ti he returned to his hotown and encountered an old junior high school classmate, who was female. They hadn’t seen each other for years, so Chen Mo invited her to co over as a guest.

The next day, gossip spread that he had a girlfriend, and so elderly folks even directly asked him when he planned to get married.

Now, Chen Da and the original parents are gone, leaving just him and his beautiful sister-in-law together every day and night.

It’s not surprising the villagers gossip about a lonely man and woman.

Especially since such cases of brothers taking care of each other’s spouses are quite common in the countryside.

In so remote villages and impoverished families, brothers might even share a wife...

Even when Chen Mo obtained the Child Student status, he heard people say that the current Emperor took his predecessor’s two Consorts into the harem and had children with them.

Moreover, Chen Mo isn’t from this world. He had seen all sorts of dirty things online and surely could accept things more easily than people in this world.

Naturally, his skin was quite thick.

Besides, the customs allowed it. What’s wrong with sleeping with your sister-in-law?

Chen Mo didn’t care, hugging An Niang’s waist tightly with one hand while lightly patting her millstone: "As long as I can be with sister-in-law, I don’t care about reputation."

"There’s sothing you probably don’t know. When mother asked you to marry elder brother, besides bringing good luck, she said that if elder brother couldn’t make it..."

Chen Mo picked the ripe fruit and whispered in Han Anniang’s ear.

"Uncle..." Han Anniang’s body twisted as she recalled her mother-in-law’s instructions before she left, telling her to take good care of uncle.

Is this the care she ant?

But there was no ti to think much; a rush of male energy bombarded her, making Han Anniang’s body tremble and her heart fill with sha: "Uncle, no..."

...

Chen Mo finally understood the real aning behind "a woman will affect a man’s ability to draw his sword."

This body longed too much for "love," and being a youth, the most energetic fighting age, he skipped breakfast, didn’t wield his sword, and spent the entire morning discussing life’s philosophies with Han Anniang.

It was truly the joy of being here, not thinking of the sword.

And this led to...

Han Anniang curled up pitifully with a quilt in the corner of the kang, her autumn eyes fixed on Chen Mo, a mature face shown with grievance, tension, and fear.

Thinking back to Chen Mo’s attitude earlier made her heart flutter.

He seed like a starving wolf, while she was the little white rabbit, feeling he might eat her clean, not even leaving behind bones.

Chen Mo wasn’t a novice in love, and seeing her expression, he imdiately understood.

He strongly pulled Han Anniang into his arms, speaking all kinds of sweet nothings effortlessly.

Han Anniang, who hadn’t studied much and barely knew any words, was easily coaxed into submission, having never seen such a scene before.

...

Two days later.

Chen Mo was swinging his saber in the courtyard, while Han Anniang was preparing bear skin inside the house, a Jade Hairpin given by Chen Mo adorned her hair. A pot of charcoal fire lay before her. Occasionally, she glanced at Chen Mo practicing saber techniques outside, and upon being noticed, would shyly lower her head, her heart racing—a scene typical of falling in love.

Chen Mo rely smiled at this.

Everyone likely experienced such a picture in their first romance, constantly sticking together. Chen Mo had once spent a week without leaving the house, exhausting himself.

It had only been two days now, which showed how determined Chen Mo was to grow stronger.

[Saber-wielding count 1, Demon-breaking Saber Technique experience 1.]

[Saber-wielding count 1, Demon-breaking Saber Technique experience 1.]

...

His wound had scabbed over on the first day and was almost healed after two days.

Thus, wielding the saber was unaffected.

At this point, he could freely control the "Sword Qi" brought by the Demon-breaking Saber Technique.

This allowed him to avoid unintentionally harming people with Sword Qi during practice.

[Na: Chen Mo.]

[Age: 16.]

[Cultivation Technique: Blood Nourishing Technique (Small Success 112.1/500).]

[Realm: Refining Skin (Ninth Grade)]

[Power: 38 31.]

[Skills: Demon-breaking Saber Technique (Interdiate 10900/200000).]

Chen Mo took a breath, went back inside to sip so tea before coming out to practice again.

Just then, he keenly heard the sound of snow crunching.

Soon enough, he saw four constables dressed in gray clothes, with the word "constable" on their chests, appear outside the courtyard.

Inside the house, spying on Chen Mo, Han Anniang noticed the constables outside first, and she stood up in fear, looking panicked.

When the officials entered the village, many villagers saw them. Learning they headed for the Chen Family, groups of people gathered and quietly watched, whispering among themselves but not being too loud, fearing others might hear.

Many people were gleeful about the situation, as currently, Chen Mo lived the best life in the village.

So people just couldn’t stand others doing well.

Outside the Chen Family courtyard.

The leading constable, arrogant and proud, asked, "Who is Chen Mo?"

Just as the words fell.

A sudden "bang" sound erupted.

The four constables saw the teenager in the courtyard, swinging his saber fiercely, and then the fence before him was shattered by a force, splintering bamboo and showering snowflakes everywhere.

Chen Mo sheathed his saber, looked calmly at the constables at the gate, and said, "I’m Chen Mo, do you have business with ?"

"Gulp..." The four constables couldn’t help swallowing, their hands instinctively resting on their sword hilts.

The leading constable took a deep breath, stepped forward, his tone softening: "Uh... it’s nothing serious, just here to learn so things from you."

"Oh." Chen Mo smiled: "Then co in, gentlen."

Chen Mo then called into the house to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, we have honored guests, serve tea."

"Ah... Okay... Okay." Han Anniang hastily put down the animal skin and hurried to the kitchen.

Once inside, the four constables noticed the bear skin on the floor and shuddered again, the leading constable subconsciously said, "This is..."

"Oh, that’s just a bear’s hide." Chen Mo casually picked up the black bear skin off the floor and tossed it into the corner, saying: "A few days ago, I went hunting in the mountains and accidentally ran into a black bear.

You know, sir, winter bears are the most irritable, always chasing us. No choice but to kill it and take its hide."

The four constables: "..."

"Please have a seat, sir." Chen Mo said.
