"For you, I’d come even if it meant death..." The moment Yang Baifu heard that, his bones turned to jelly, and he pounced on her, igniting a whole night of wildfire.
To those men with impure intentions, the saying goes: a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair.
Yang Baifu had also creeped around with other women, but he always felt they were not as unrestrained as Widow Lü, nor did they have her figure. Widow Lü, on her part, found no other man matched Yang Baifu’s skin, his sweet nothings, or his variety in bed. Hence, after the first time, there was a second, and the two of them never stopped.
From the start to the discovery, the two maintained their improper relationship for over a year.
It was easier during the slack farming season, but as the busy season approached, Yang Baifu had to work. He simply had no time to sneak off to the Dong Family’s village in the dead of night. What to do? Whenever Widow Lü felt the urge, she’d stealthily come to find him.
The haystacks, the woods, the cornfields... all bore the marks of their "battles".
And on the day it all fell apart, Widow Lü had used the excuse of visiting her cousin Yang Dongshi to go to the Yang Family home. After exchanging amorous glances with Yang Baifu, the two sneaked off to the woods in the afternoon. Fearing being seen in the woods, they didn’t fully indulge themselves, so they moved the fight to an abandoned house by the river. Among the overgrown weeds and seclusion of the dilapidated building, it was the perfect spot for their tryst.
Unfortunately, their luck ran out. As they mated in the crumbling house, it’s said that a white tiger burst forth from the side. With one open of its jaws, Widow Lü let out an "oh" and fainted, while the still conscious Fourth Brother Yang, not caring for anything else, fled bare-assed...
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Yang Ruxin listened with a mix of dismay and amusement. That Fourth Brother Yang and Widow Lü were really something, but even Dongshi was quite the character. Her husband had been cheating on her for so long and she never knew; Ruxin wasn’t sure what to say.
"So what happened to Widow Lü after she went back?" Yang Ruxin was still quite curious about this woman who seemed to live without any reservations.
"She acted as if nothing had happened," said Gu Yao, shrugging. He thought Widow Lü was quite the character herself. If she were placed in a large, deep house, she would definitely be a formidable rival for affection.
"I wonder if that scare might cause Yang Baifu to become impotent..." Yang Ruxin stroked her chin. If he didn’t, she wouldn’t mind lending a hand; such a man would be most suitable to become a eunuch.
The corner of Gu Yao’s mouth twitched, as he thought to himself, future sister-in-law, do you know all of this, and does my older brother know?
"Big sister, our fourth aunt is quite pitiful," sighed Erni, once again unable to hold back.
Both Yang Ruxin and Sanni immediately looked over.
"I was just saying," Sanni quickly waved her hand, dismissing it.
"When it comes to things like this, any woman would be pitiful," said Yang Ruxin with a laugh. She had no intention of shielding her younger sisters-in-law from the filth of the old house. Instead, she let them know everything. She was able to protect them, but she wouldn’t raise them to be delicate flowers in a greenhouse. Future difficulties were unpredictable, and therefore, they needed to learn how to face them. "It’s just that, I’ve always said character determines one’s fate. If the fourth aunt is content, others can’t do much about it."
"Right," nodded Sanni. "Mom just endured everything passively, and what was the result? If my future husband ever dares to stray, I’ll castrate him and then divorce him."
