Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 93 Riverside Adultery

Guan Shuyun stopped smiling and looked at Yang Wuni and Zhang Changyao.

"How can Zheng Meizhi be so shameless? She's pregnant with Second Brother's child, how can Hu Xiao still want her?"

Doesn't she even take a piss and look at herself in the mirror? Does she really think she's some kind of goddess?

Yang Wuni would never hold back when it came to Zheng Meizhi.

He picked up the broom from the kang (a heated brick bed) and slammed it against the edge of the kang, making a "smack, smack" sound.

"Sister, it's okay. Even if Hu Xiao is confused, he can't abandon you and choose Zheng Meizhi."

Although you are not as beautiful as Zheng Meizhi, you are carrying his flesh and blood.

For this reason alone, all women in the world...

"No one can compare to your place in his heart," Zhang Changyao comforted Guan Shuyun.

"Changyao, you don't know Hu Xiao, you don't know how spineless he is."

I know he won't be thinking about Zheng Meizhi, but I'm afraid Zheng Meizhi will be thinking about him.

You two know what Zheng Meizhi is capable of; she bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Hu Xiao, that pushover, will be completely dominated by Zheng Meizhi.

Guan Shuyun's face grew increasingly grim, and her worries were not unfounded.

"Sis, what should we do? Zheng Meizhi doesn't dare to cause trouble for Second Brother, so she can probably only bully Hu Xiao."

She doesn't know you're pregnant with Hu Xiao's child, and she certainly won't care about your second brother's sake.

In my opinion, you should act quickly and tell Hu Xiao that you're pregnant.

"As long as Hu Xiao knows you're pregnant with his child, no matter how much Zheng Meizhi tries to win him over, he won't marry her."

Zhang Changyao began to worry about Guan Shuyun's situation. He also had no good way to deal with Zheng Meizhi and could only resort to the worst possible strategy.

"Changyao, will you come with me to find Hu Xiao? I need you to talk to my mother on my behalf."

My belly isn't showing yet, and even if I tell my mother, she won't believe me.

Guan Shuyun clutched her clothes, at her wit's end, and could only turn to Zhang Changyao for help.

"Sigh! It seems having women is a hassle, but not having them is impossible. Sis, let's go!"

Zhang Changyao straightened his collar and flattened the part with the pudding.

Looking at Guan Shuyun, he prepared to follow her to find Hu Xiao.

Guan Shuyun blushed, lowered her head, and timidly tugged at Zhang Changyao's arm.

"Sis, if you're going to do that, I'm not going with you."

We should stand tall, head held high, and chest out.

Zhang Changyao grabbed Guan Shuyun's shoulders and lifted her up.

He lifted Guan Shuyun's chin and made her look up at the sky.

"Zhang Changyao, be careful, don't strain your older sister."

Yang Wuni gave Zhang Changyao, who was being mischievous with Guan Shuyun, a piece of her mind.

Guan Shuyun also felt that what Zhang Changyao said made sense.

They resumed their usual walking posture, the two of them walking one after the other, happily heading to find Hu Xiao.

Before even entering the village, I saw Hu Xiao carrying a bundle of willow branches, walking home from the riverbank.

Upon seeing Guan Shuyun linked arms with Zhang Changyao, he kept a straight face and continued walking forward without saying a word.

"Pah! Hu Xiao, are you blind? Can't you see me?"

Guan Shuyun got angry when Hu Xiao ignored her.

"Guan Shuyun, did you need something? You need to bring the basket to my door."

Hu Xiao glanced at Zhang Changyao and exchanged pleasantries with Guan Shuyun.

"Hu Xiao, how dare you talk to my sister like that? You slept with her and now you don't want to admit it!"

Zhang Changyao grabbed the willow branch off Hu Xiao and pulled him backward, throwing him flat on his back.

He leaned against the willow branches, unable to get up, his thin, bony arms and legs kicking and thrashing.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't outrun Zhang Changyao's foot that was stepping on the willow branch.

"Changyao, let go of your foot, Hu Xiao didn't mean that."

He didn't know our relationship and misunderstood me.

Guan Shuyun pushed Zhang Changyao aside, squatted down, and removed the willow branches from Hu Xiao's body.

"Shuyun, is he your brother?"

Hu Xiao used the sickle in his hand to support himself as he stood up and carefully examined Zhang Changyao.

"Yes! My maternal uncle's younger brother, Zhang Changyao, and the woman who came with me a while ago was his wife, Yang Wuni."

Guan Shuyun helped Hu Xiao brush the dirt off his buttocks.

"Bro, I... I thought your older sister had found a handsome guy and was trying to annoy me!"

Hu Xiao reverted to her old self, shy and only knowing how to grin foolishly.

Guan Shuyun told Hu Xiao what Zheng Jingren had said under the big tree and asked for his opinion.

After struggling for a while, Hu Xiao managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I don't want anyone else, I only want you."

"Sis, I told you Hu Xiao couldn't be that kind of person, you're worrying unnecessarily."

Reassured by these words, Zhang Changyao pulled Guan Shuyun to head back.

"Hu Xiao, you wicked seed, you changed your mind as soon as you got off me."

Have you forgotten what you said when you were torturing me over and over again?

If you're not going to marry me, why did you pull down my pants?

I'm going to the town's police station right now to report you for raping me.

I'll send you to jail, and leave your crazy mother unattended to starve to death.

Zheng Meizhi, who appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Hu Xiao by the collar and slapped him hard across the face.

"Zheng Meizhi, you need to have evidence to back up your claims. You can't just make baseless accusations." Guan Shuyun went up and tried to pull Zheng Meizhi away.

"Guan Shuyun, am I making false accusations? If you don't believe me, pull down Hu Xiao's pants and take a look."

Look at the right side of his underwear; isn't there a hole in it?

This seemingly listless kid is actually quite formidable; he cut a bundle of willow branches and managed to pin me down three times.

Feel his spine again, and see if there are any scratches on his back from where I grabbed him.

Zheng Meizhi crossed her arms and looked at Guan Shuyun triumphantly, with the air of a victor.

"Zheng Meizhi, you can't do this. My older sister is already pregnant with Hu Xiao's child."

They're both honest men; you'll ruin them.

Zhang Changyao looked at Hu Xiao and Guan Shuyun, who were standing there motionless.

He tried to persuade Zheng Meizhi, hoping she would listen to him.

"Zhang Changyao, I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you're already here playing the good guy again."

Just because she's pregnant with Hu Xiao's child, does that mean she should be with Hu Xiao?

I'm pregnant with Guan Lin's child, so why hasn't Guan Lin said he'd marry me?

I can't care about that now. If Guan Lin won't marry me, I'll marry Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiaogang and I chatted by the riverbank. He said if he didn't marry me, I would sue him.

I've heard that getting a medical check-up now is the best course of action; Hu Xiaoyi can guarantee someone will end up in jail.

Zheng Meizhi had clearly thought things through at home before coming to find Hu Xiao.

"Hu Xiao, tell me, is what Zheng Meizhi said true?"

Why did you continue to talk nonsense with Zheng Meizhi after you got together with me?

"If you marry Zheng Meizhi, what will happen to me and the child in my belly?"

Guan Shuyun, holding Hu Xiao's hand, broke down in tears and asked Hu Xiao a question.

"Shuyun, I didn't mean it. I thought your mother didn't approve of you being with me because you hadn't come all this time."

I didn't know you were pregnant. If I had known, I would never have touched Zheng Meizhi.

Today I went to cut willow branches, and when she saw me, she pulled down my pants.

We'd done *that* before, so... I just listened to her...

"How long has it been since you last came to see me? I... I also want... I want a woman."
