"Gousheng's mother, where are you going?"
Qiu Guihua came out and grabbed Gousheng's mother's clothes. "I don't think it's your family's turn to receive grain yet. Why aren't you guarding the square? What are you doing running to the back of the village?"
"Oh dear, something terrible has happened." Gousheng's mother stamped her foot excitedly. "Sister-in-law Qiu, something terrible has happened to the Chen family. Everyone's rushing to see what's going on."
"What terrible thing has happened?" Qiu Guihua became interested as soon as she heard that something had happened to the Chen family. "They can't even care about distributing grain. Could it be that Granny Chen is dead?"
"Hmph, that Granny Chen's life is worthless. The one who had the accident was Chen Shengjun and the female educated youth who just arrived a few days ago. What was her name again... I think her surname was He? Yes, her surname was He, He the educated youth. She and Chen Shengjun were in bed together. They were so loud that Erlaizi, who was bringing the grain home, heard it."
Erlaizi's family lived next door to the Chen family.
The thatched house wasn't soundproof, so Chen Shengjun and He Hongyu were practically having sex in the open, which Er Laizi overheard.
Although Er Laizi was an old bachelor, he'd frequented the beds of several old widows in the village, and he knew exactly what was going on from the sound.
At first, he thought it was Li Wuniu being horny in broad daylight, having sex with Chen Shengjin.
Later, recognizing the unfamiliar female voice, he sneaked into the Chen family home and saw Chen Shengjin with the newly arrived female educated youth. Er Laizi, drooling over the young woman's fair and tender body, impulsively rushed into the house, wanting to have his turn too.
At that moment, He Hongyu woke up from her drug.
Seeing that she and Chen Shengjun had consummated their relationship, she was overjoyed. Now, the future rich boss's wife would definitely not belong to Feng Yuanchun, but to her, He Hongyu.
However, turning her head, she saw her husband from her previous life, Er Laizi, also in the house.
He Hongyu screamed in terror.
This shout attracted the attention of the neighbor's old woman and her sister.
Old Mrs. Chen, along with her three sons, also happened to be returning with grain.
So, the scumbag and his wife were unlucky enough to be cornered in bed by a group of people, with the scumbag, whose clothes were half-undressed, standing by the bedside.
Both the Chen family and Erlaizi's family were poor, and their sons were both bachelors. Erlaizi's mother wanted to use trickery to force He Hongyu to come back as her daughter-in-law.
Chen's mother wouldn't allow it.
He Hongyu was a female educated youth from the city, definitely wealthy, and besides, she had practically offered herself to her son. Chen's mother wasn't about to let Erlaizi have her daughter-in-law for free.
The two old women, disregarding the still-naked Chen Shengjin and He Hongyu, started arguing, and then even fighting.
Soon, the news reached the square.
Immediately, everyone forgot about distributing grain and rushed to see the spectacle of one woman controlling two men.
"Oh dear, I can't talk to you anymore, if you're late, you'll miss the show!" Gou Sheng's mother shook off Qiu Guihua and ran off.
Qiu Guihua wanted to follow, but remembering it was a Chen family spectacle, she hurried home to call her two sisters-in-law to go with her.
Grandma Feng chuckled, "Come on, let's all go and see the Chen family make a fool of themselves. That'll be better than eating meat!"
Then, she said to her eldest granddaughter-in-law, "Guoping's wife, you shouldn't go. It'll be crowded there, and you might get jostled."
Qiu Guihua also instructed her eldest son, "Guoping, you stay here with Chunli. Take out our iron rake and sharpen it; it'll be easier to use tomorrow."
Of course, the children weren't allowed to go on such sordid matters.
Yuan Chun, however, had already slipped away and was now at the Chen family's door.
