"Think about it, isn't your family's situation really bad now? Your brother is paralyzed in the field, you work as a village doctor, and your sister-in-law has no real skills, can only scrape a living from the soil, right?"
Hearing Zhao Cuihua's words, Liu Zheng didn't argue, but his expression grew increasingly dark.
It wasn't just because of his desire to take care of his brother that he had returned to the countryside after graduating from university.
It wasn't entirely because he wanted to look after his brother.
The most crucial and painfully memorable reason was that he had suffered from heartbreak.
The person who hurt him was a classmate from the same department in university.
Liu Zheng had been secretly in love with her for two years.
As graduation approached, he finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings.
The girl accepted his confession gracefully.
This made Liu Zheng's emotions surge.
You see, during his four years of university life, he couldn't find a girlfriend because of his poor financial situation, which left him feeling very frustrated.
Just as he was about to graduate, he successfully made a confession to his crush.
The joyous Liu Zheng fantasized about working and living together with his goddess after graduation.
However, to his surprise, before their relationship could even be officially confirmed, the girl went on an internship and immediately turned around, falling into the arms of a rich second generation.
Pain, this kind of pain, was more than a hundred times worse than unrequited love.
The root cause was still his lack of money, lack of economic strength.
Disheartened, Liu Zheng finally decided not to struggle in the city any longer and returned to his hometown to become a village doctor.
Seeing that she had finished speaking and Liu Zheng did not argue, his face looking very unsightly, Zhao Cuihua couldn't help but smile smugly.
"Xiao Zheng, have you ever thought about it? If you continue to struggle in the city, maybe in a few years you could save up a little dowry, but now that you're back in the countryside, and our village is the most backward in the county, in such a living environment, do you think it's even possible for you to get married?"
"It's not like that, Sister Cui Hua, I..."
"Don't interrupt me yet; I haven't finished talking."
She stretched out her hand and covered Liu Zheng's mouth, continuing, "Have you thought about it, with your current situation, just when could you ever get a wife? If you can't get a wife, then you have to just hold back."
"But how long must you hold back for?"
"That's why, now that I, your sister, am taking the initiative to offer myself to you, isn't this an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon?"
"If I please you for one night now, wouldn't you also have something to remember?"
To be honest, Liu Zheng had to admit, Zhao Cuihua did have a point.
Given his current financial condition and the situation of his family, getting a wife seemed almost impossible.
What girl would want to marry into a family that was poor and bereft of assets?
If no woman was willing to marry him out of pity, Liu Zheng's chances of getting a wife were virtually nil.
"So you see, Xiao Zheng, I'm throwing myself at you, why are you still being so prudish!"
As she spoke, Zhao Cuihua pulled forcefully, and Liu Zheng's body was yanked so that he was flat on the bed.
The bed made a "squeak"ing noise.
This was the clinic's sickbed, which sounded flimsy, but was actually made of an iron frame.
Zhao Cuihua's body pressed down on him, her voice getting even more coquettish, saying, "Come on, Xiao Zheng, be good to me this once, and I promise I won't let you lose out. I guarantee I'll take care of that thing you mentioned."
As she spoke, one of her hands lifted her own skirt, while the other hand reached to undo Liu Zheng's belt.
Zhao Cuihua's proficiency in this matter was absolutely on par with that of Xiao Bai, Liu Zheng, the master.
From the darkness near the courtyard gate, however, came a few children's voices.
"Hee hee! Ergouzi, see where you can hide, I've seen you already."
Startled by that voice, Liu Zheng shivered and quickly pushed Zhao Cuihua off him, then rolled over to look towards the courtyard gate.
In the darkness at the courtyard gate, two children were squatting at that moment.
There was another child standing in the dark, looking around, clearly playing a game of hide-and-seek.
"Ahem! Well... Cui Hua, let's hide in the inner room, shall we?"
Liu Zheng felt a bit restless in his heart, uncertain about what to do; anyhow, he felt it was a bit uneasy to be exposed in this room.
"Who cares about them!"
Zhao Cuihua didn't seem to care, glanced at the three children, and her lips curved into a seductive smile.
"Just a bunch of brats, what's there to fear? Isn't it more thrilling this way? Come on, they play their game, and we'll play ours."
Hearing Zhao Cuihua's words, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel his brain thunder.
Wasn't Zhao Cuihua being way too bold?
If those kids outside discovered what the two of them were up to here, and if it reached the ears of Liu Baishun and his son, wouldn't he and Zhao Cuihua both be hammered to death?
With this thought, he hurriedly stepped back and then went straight for his pants.
However, this retreat of his seemed to catch Zhao Cuihua off guard.
She couldn't help but glare, angrily saying, "What are you dodging for?"
This made Zhao Cuihua extremely irritated.
Based on her experience, which man under such circumstances wasn't very excited?
How could they possibly move away?
Even Liu Baishun, the village chief, and his son would be overly thrilled and would proceed with the act.
"No, it's not that, Cui Hua. Those kids, they can see us."
Rejecting Zhao Cuihua again, Liu Zheng moved back for the second time.
Being rejected once more made Zhao Cuihua even more furious.
Seeing that Liu Zheng had already pulled his pants up and even looked like he was about to leave, Zhao Cuihua suddenly panicked.
This boy really didn't understand romance.
Her skirt was lifted, and they were about to start.
But he had pulled up his pants already, this boy really was...
She felt the urge to curse.
But.
Seeing the "meat" about to fly away, how could she just give up?
After thinking for a moment and with a twirl of her eye, Zhao Cuihua immediately smiled seductively and said, "Oh! My little Zheng, you don't have to be so timid, look at those brats, how old are they!"
"They don't even understand what we're doing. Even if you were to do me right in front of them now, they would just think it's a very interesting game."
"Ahem! Stop it, Cui Hua, it's not like that."
"What am I fussing about, huh?"
