Hearing Wang Yanli's words, Liu Ergou smiled helplessly.
"Auntie, I'm begging you, can't you try to be a bit more pleasant in the future? Stop being so harsh."
"Look, Xiaorou hasn't been back for years, and she's still so afraid of you. You've gone and scared her away!"
Wang Yanli snorted coldly.
"Can't change, not one bit!"
Liu Ergou had long anticipated Wang Yanli's response.
"Ah, you win, Auntie. What brings you here this ti?"
As soon as he said this, Wang Yanli turned her head, gave him a seductive look, and licked her lips.
"Hehehe, Er Gou, what else could your auntie be here for? You know perfectly well, don't you?"
As she spoke, Wang Yanli rudely slipped a hand into Liu Ergou's clothes. With a sharp twist of her fingers, she pinched him hard.
Then ca his annoyed voice.
"Auntie, can you be a little more discreet? We're still outside! If anyone sees us, I'll be fine, but your reputation will be in the gutter!"
Who would have thought she would just lick her sowhat dry lips?
"What's there to be afraid of? Your auntie is starving. Er Gou, you'd better put in so real effort today!"
"Otherwise, I'll be coming for you in the middle of the night!"
Seeing Wang Yanli's deanor, Liu Ergou felt a bit helpless. Still, the at was delivered right to his lips, so how could he refuse a bite?
He swept her up in a princess carry and returned to his room.
Soon, just as Liu Ergou was readying himself for battle, he suddenly rembered sothing. Wang Yanli had just ntioned how tragic Xiaorou's situation was, and from her tone, it seed like she knew so inside details.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, do you happen to know the specifics of Xiaorou's family situation? If you do, could you tell ?"
This was a critical mont.
Upon hearing his question, Wang Yanli had no intention of answering. Instead, she just kept urging him to hurry up.
But Liu Ergou deliberately held back.
This made Wang Yanli frantic.
"Er Gou, my dear Er Gou, please help your auntie! After you help , I'll tell you, alright?"
"Right now, your auntie is in no mood to talk about this, Er Gou!"
Seeing Wang Yanli's anxious face, Liu Ergou smiled slyly. Without another word, he got busy.
At that mont, a gale began to rage. The wind buffeted a mighty tree, making it sway from side to side. Yet, the tree stood firm, refusing to be toppled no matter how fiercely the gale blew. But the wind was relentless. It gathered all its strength, whipping itself into a furious tornado. The mont the tornado ford, it devoured everything in its path. Even the mighty tree could not withstand its power and was ripped out by the roots.
By noon, everything had returned to calm.
Wang Yanli lay there satisfied. Under Liu Ergou's prompting, she finally began telling him about Xiaorou's family situation.
According to Wang Yanli, the only reason Xiaorou was being married off to that old bachelor was that her parents needed to scrape together the bride price for her brother. It just so happened that the old bachelor had offered to pay 100,000 yuan for a wife. Googlᴇ search novęlfire
100,000 yuan was no small sum in Fengzhu Village. Moreover, that amount was enough for half of the bride price her brother would need.
So, Xiaorou's parents decisively married her off to the old bachelor, with the engagent set for next month. Apparently, the bride price had already been paid to Xiaorou's parents.
After hearing this, Liu Ergou was completely dumbstruck.
I've really never seen a family like this before... selling their daughter for their son's sake.
This solidified Liu Ergou's resolve. I have to help Xiaorou call off this marriage. If she ends up with that old bachelor, her life will be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou gave Wang Yanli's ample bottom a firm slap.
"Alright, Auntie, I get it!"
"Thanks a lot for your help today!"
Wang Yanli rolled her eyes at him dramatically.
"Hmph, haven't I told you before? Co find your auntie more often! It seems that if I don't co looking for you, you never co looking for . I always have to be the one to take the initiative, right?"
"If this keeps up, don't even think about asking for anything ever again!"
Hearing her words, Liu Ergou offered an embarrassed smile.
"Auntie, co on. I've just been busy these last few days. I'll definitely find ti to visit you!"
Hearing this, Wang Yanli finally forced her weary body to move, turning over.
"Oof... Er Gou, you go on and do what you need to do. Just let rest here by myself for a little while. I'll be gone in half an hour."
Seeing her exhausted state, Liu Ergou didn't rush her and changed his clothes.
Now that the urgent matters were taken care of, his next task was to go help his sister-in-law in the fields. Although the work wasn't too demanding, it was always better to get it done early.
However, before leaving, he still felt the need to remind her.
"Auntie, you'd better leave soon. Make sure no one sees you, and lock the door on your way out. If you have to, just hop the wall. That's about it."
Wang Yanli was too lazy to give a proper reply, rely humming in acknowledgnt as she continued to rest.
Liu Ergou didn't press the matter, simply turning and leaving his ho.
As for whether Wang Yanli could be trusted, Liu Ergou wasn't worried. Although Wang Yanli was brash and her words could be acerbic, there was nothing fundantally wrong with her character. That's why Liu Ergou felt at ease leaving her there alone.
True to his instructions, Wang Yanli rested for about fifteen minutes before getting up and dressing. After doing as he had asked, she turned and left.
anwhile, Liu Ergou grabbed his hoe and headed toward his family's field.
However, he hadn't walked more than a few steps when he heard the deep roar of an engine. The sound was very familiar to him.
He looked over and saw a woman in a leather jacket and helt speeding toward him on a motorcycle.
Who else could it be but Fu Ya?
Just as Liu Ergou was about to say sothing, Fu Ya's motorcycle suddenly picked up even more speed.
With a stylish drift, she ca to a halt right in front of him.
Then, Fu Ya lifted her motorcycle helt.
