Chapter 58 Excitement
Quickly getting rid of the onlookers, Gu Yu headed towards the small river near Yang Family Village.
It was the evening hour, and after dinner, the men were out for a stroll, while the women gathered by the river to wash clothes and chat about gossip.
Seeing the many women washing clothes by the river and exchanging gossip, Gu Yu’s face immediately broke into a smile with an unreadable expression.
Afterwards, he took out a wild rabbit from his space and walked towards where the women were.
“Oh my, isn’t that Gou Dan? What are you doing here today?”
“The rabbit in your hand is really plump. Your family can eat meat today, how nice.”
“Are the animals in the mountains easy to catch? Why do I always see you sending meat to Old Yang family’s residence! As for your grandmother, I’m not saying anything… but a stone in a latrine is better than her, so don’t always go looking for scolding.”
“Exactly, Gou Dan, you’re married now. Don’t give everything away. You should look at how thin your little wife is. If she’s not taken care of properly, she won’t be able to give birth to a big fat boy in the future.”
“Hahaha, Gou Dan is so young, and you’re already telling him to have a son. How shameless!”
“Who are you calling shameless! You’re the shameless one! Don’t think I don’t know that you, a little girl, gave birth to a son at fourteen!”
As the saying goes, one woman is as noisy as five hundred ducks. Now, the voices of a group of women were even livelier than a duck farm.
Gu Yu did not expect these women to be so talkative, but for the sake of his future plans, he had no choice but to endure it for now.
“Alas, my dear aunts, I know… After all this time, I’m not made of stone. After being hurt so many times, I must also wake up. I just went to the old house, and my grandmother kept the wild chicken and kicked me out. However, perhaps my luck is better, this rabbit I got when I came back from…”
As Gu Yu was speaking, and all eyes were on him, with a thought, Yang Shun and Jiao’e Lin in his space were directly thrown into the small river, making a loud splashing sound.
When the sound of water erupted, the women’s attention immediately shifted from Gu Yu to the small river.
As a result, they found that a man and a woman had suddenly appeared in the river, which they had been washing clothes in moments ago. The two were embracing each other and flailing in the water, their wet clothes clinging to them, revealing the curves of their bodies and some unspeakable parts.
Truly, the world is going downhill. How can people embrace each other so openly in broad daylight?
“Oh my, isn’t that Yang Shun, the younger son of the Old Yang family? Why is he suddenly embracing a young woman and falling into the water? Don’t tell me they were caught in the act while having an affair!”
“An affair that ends up in the water?”
“You don’t know about that. They want some excitement! I heard that some people like to be seen, even when doing it!”
“How do you know everything…”
“Of course. Speaking of which, this woman looks very familiar.”
“Isn’t this Widow Lin’s slutty daughter? How did she get involved with Tong Sheng Yang Shun? Now Widow Lin has a good son-in-law.”
“Tsk, tsk, indeed a good son-in-law.”
Seeing that his plan was successful, Gu Yu immediately retreated from the scene, leaving the lively riverside, his merit hidden.
Gu Yu could guess what would happen next without even watching.
It would be nothing more than a dogfight, where everyone gets dirty.
Widow Lin is not easy to deal with, and is Madam Li? Yang Shun is her precious darling. If she really let him marry Jiao’e Lin, it would make Madam Li suffer terribly.
After all, Madam Li wholeheartedly hoped for her son to become a high official and marry the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family.
The water level of the small river was not deep, but when Gu Yu suddenly threw the two of them out of his space, they were caught off guard and their clothes were completely soaked. Moreover, the way they were embracing was very unsightly.
In feudal ancient times, this level was already considered improper conduct between men and women.
If the male protagonist Yang Shun did not marry Jiao’e Lin, then, as an ‘imprudent’ Jiao’e Lin, she would be pointed at by others for a lifetime.
Of course, Yang Shun’s future imperial examination path would also be affected.
After all, all professions are inferior, and only studying is noble. How could Yang Shun, a scholar, bully a woman?
The integrity of a scholar is not something that anyone can tarnish.
