A night of spring dreams leaves no trace.
When Wang Hao woke up the next day,
he gave a wry smile, took a bath upon his mother's urging, gobbled down two large steamed buns, and then prepared to go work in the fields.
"Haozi, Haozi, wait up!"
However, Wang Hao hadn't walked far when he heard someone shouting loudly.
He turned around and saw that it was Xu Peng, the leader of their village group.
"Brother Peng, what's up?"
"I was just on my way to your place to find you. Hurry up and join me to the village committee for a meeting!"
"What's happened?"
"What else could it be? You know it's harvest season now. The village chief's family is short on hands."
After hearing this, Wang Hao finally understood what was going on; that old bastard Zhao Youquan was rounding up the strong laborers again!
There weren't many laborers left in Chen Village, as most of them had gone to the city to work.
And the one with the most land in Chen Village was Zhao Youquan. Every harvest season, he would call upon the village's labor force to work his fields, not to mention not paying them; damn it, he wouldn't even provide a meal.
Some had refused Zhao Youquan in the past, but those people always faced some sort of retaliation, more or less. Over time, the villagers too learned to seethe in silence.
In the past, Wang Hao would have just let it be, but after secretly filming Liu Xiulan's affair the night before, he lost any desire to continue being resentful. He planned to use the video as leverage to free the villagers from Zhao Youquan's exploitation.
With this in mind, he smiled and said, "Brother Peng, you go ahead. I'll be there soon."
"All right, then I'll go first."
Xu Peng didn't think much of it, waved his hand, and walked away with long strides.
After watching Xu Peng leave, Wang Hao prepared to pay Liu Xiulan a visit first.
After all, exposing the video would trigger a massive chain reaction, and the person most affected would be Liu Xiulan herself.
Though he really resented Zhao Youquan, he held no ill will toward Liu Xiulan.
So, if he could persuade Liu Xiulan to work on Zhao Youquan, to whisper in his ear, that would be ideal.
"You devil, why are you always in such a rush? It's so early in the morning; what if someone sees us? It wouldn't be good at all!"
However, as Wang Hao passed by an earthen temple, he suddenly heard the delicate voice of a woman.
"Afraid of what? All the laborers have rushed off to the village committee. Those who didn't go are old men, women, and children, who barely step outside anyway. Who would be around to see?"
A thought crossed Wang Hao's mind. Damn it, could people be having a field day first thing in the morning?
Finding the woman's voice somewhat familiar, Wang Hao turned his thoughts quickly and stealthily made his way over.
"You devil, then you better be quick."
"Heh heh, you know all about my stamina. There's no rushing it!"
Wang Hao crept to the back of the Mountain God Temple and peeped through a tiny hole.
Immediately, his eyes bulged.
Holy crap, isn't that Aunt Xiulan? No wonder the voice seemed so familiar; she's out having an affair first thing in the morning?
Moreover, what shocked Wang Hao most was that the man messing around with Liu Xiulan wasn't the skinny, dark stranger from last night, but Li Guang, an old bachelor from the same village.
Li Guang, in his forties and quite robust, had already rudely removed Liu Xiulan's underwear and was ready to mount his steed.
Liu Xiulan cast a coquettish glance at Li Guang, dressed today in a white floral long dress.
While speaking, she extended her delicate hand and began to actively caress Li Guang.
Wang Hao, watching from outside, felt his blood surge with excitement, even more stimulating than watching an adult film.
"What do you think," Li Guang said proudly while pulling on his pants.
Liu Xiulan's face was flushed, her eyes brimming with satisfied desire.
She panted, "He can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of you, how could he match up to you?"
"Haha..." Li Guang laughed triumphantly, squeezing her round buttocks hard before continuing, "Don't worry, when that old guy steps down, you'll be with me, and I guarantee you'll be a bride every night!"
Liu Xiulan let out a coquettish yelp and spat lightly, "Disgusting, do you think getting married and divorced is like kids playing house? Keep talking like that, and I won't bother with you anymore!"
Listening to Liu Xiulan's coquettish voice and watching her provocative demeanor, Wang Hao outside the temple couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Damn it, Aunt Xiulan is way too saucy, a different wild man every day—she's the veritable queen of the sea of men!
Moreover, it seemed that Li Guang didn't even know he was just one of many in Liu Xiulan's pond.
"You better hurry to the Village Committee, or Zhao Youquan will give you trouble if he finds out you weren't there."
"Alright, let's meet up another time, hehe..."
Li Guang touched Liu Xiulan one more time before leaving, contented.
Liu Xiulan cursed "dead ghost" and reached for her underwear, putting it on slowly.
She leaned against the statue of the Earth God, slightly bending over with her neckline wide open, revealing her bosom, heavy as eight catties.
Wang Hao watched, eyes glued, internally praising how great Liu Xiulan's figure was, thinking if only he could...
Wang Hao didn't pity Zhao Youquan for being cuckolded, after all, that old rascal had done many evils, and he deserved this outcome!
After putting on her underwear, Liu Xiulan tidied her disheveled hair, made sure everything was in order, and planned to leave.
Seeing there was no more drama to watch, Wang Hao also decided to leave.
But then, he accidentally stepped on a dry tree branch.
"Crack!"
The snapping sound was particularly jarring.
Liu Xiulan felt a jolt in her heart and called out sharply, "Who's there?"
She followed the noise with quick steps to the back of the Earth God Temple and when she saw Wang Hao standing there, looking embarrassed, her pretty face went completely pale.
Having been discovered, Wang Hao could only force a sheepish grin and say, "Oh, Aunt Xiulan, you're here too. What a coincidence. I was about to take a leak here."
"So it's Hao, did you just see something? Eh, when did you get a tattoo?" Liu Xiulan narrowed her eyes suspiciously, staring intently at Wang Hao's eyes.
"No, no, I didn't see anything," Wang Hao chuckled, deliberately ignoring the tattoo, but that smile couldn't have looked more fake.
Damn it!
She'd been seen by this brat, after all.
Liu Xiulan cursed inwardly, knowing if the villagers found out about her affair with Li Guang, according to Chen Village's customs, she would be punished by being drowned in a pig cage, especially Zhao Youquan, who would definitely flay her alive!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Liu Xiulan was thinking of a way out while continuously sizing up Wang Hao.
Suddenly, she noticed that Wang Hao was quite handsome, with a sturdy build, and thought, if she could with him...
With these thoughts, Liu Xiulan calmed down and cooed, "Hao, Auntie knows you saw everything just now, so you must also understand that I really had no choice, right?"
"Hao, you can sympathize with your aunt, can't you?"
Having said that, Liu Xiulan then reached out her hand towards Wang Hao...
