Chapter 19: A pair of bastards were caught!

Xie Jianguo listened to Chang Meili’s words and thought it over. It made sense—if Chang Suisui didn’t like him, why would she force Chang Meili to break off the engagement and even push to switch engagements to marry him herself? Just now, she must have been embarrassed and angry because he had spoken so bluntly in front of others, hurting her pride as a young lady. Hmph! It was all just a game of playing hard to get—wouldn’t she end up marrying him in the end anyway?

Thinking of Chang Suisui’s fair little face and her seductive eyes, Xie Jianguo felt a thrill deep in his chest. Chang Suisui’s figure looked obviously pregnant, but he wondered what she might taste like? Just thinking about it made his body respond, but then when he looked at Chang Meili and recalled the smell she had just had on her, the thoughts that had just stirred in his heart instantly calmed down.

Xie Jianguo’s brows twitched slightly. “Meili, it’s getting a bit late now. You should head back before dark so you don’t arouse suspicion.”

Chang Meili thought Xie Jianguo was concerned about her, so she kissed his cheek and then, adjusting her waist, ran into the rain with her bamboo hat.

Xie Jianguo wiped his face. Thinking about how many women from the Chang family liked him, he couldn’t help but feel proud inside.

He stood up whistling and went to the toilet beside the pigsty.

The “toilet” was really just a few old wooden boards put together, creaking underfoot, mainly for the convenience of those cleaning the pigsty.

There was no electric light inside; it was fine during the day, but on gloomy rainy days, it was almost pitch black.

The air was filled with a damp, moldy smell mixed with the muddy stench outside after the rain.

Xie Jianguo stepped on the wooden boards and just as he unfastened his pants, he heard a “crack.”

He barely had time to react before the boards gave way, and he fell through.

“Ah! Help… Ugh!”

Qian Weimin heard the noise and slowly walked out from beside the pigsty.

Earlier, while Xie Jianguo and Chang Meili were getting cozy, he had discovered this toilet as a place he could exploit.

Taking advantage of them not paying attention, he had secretly lifted a loose board, then used his military knife to slice a gap underneath, cleverly camouflaging it with dirt and grass. From the surface, no one would notice anything unusual—especially in this rainy weather.

Inside the toilet, he had checked; the depth wasn’t more than one and a half meters. It was disgusting but not deadly.

A sly smile curved Qian Weimin’s lips as he listened to the screams and vomiting sounds inside, then quickly vanished into the rain.

Before heading back to Xie Yu’s place, he spotted Chang Meili walking toward the cowshed.

Worried about being discovered, Qian Weimin had to hide beside the cowshed.

“Meili! Where are you going? You know I’m worried about you, right?” Zhao Hang stepped forward and took Chang Meili’s hand with a familiar intimacy.

Qian Weimin: “???” If he remembered correctly, hadn’t this woman just been cozying up with Xie Jianguo?

Qian Weimin smirked. Not only had he taught Xie Jianguo a lesson this trip, but he’d caught a couple of lovers too!

With a quick move, he slipped quietly through the window behind the cowshed.

The two’s voices grew louder.

“Brother Hang, I went to find some food for you. You know… if it weren’t for my cousin, we wouldn’t have been chased into the cowshed. I worked hard to get this food…” Chang Meili took out some stored food from her space and even secretly applied eye drops to Chang Suisui in front of Zhao Hang.

Hearing this, Zhao Hang clenched his fists tightly. “She’s just jealous of you. After what she’s done to me, I’ll never forgive her!”

Chang Meili smiled silently and tugged Zhao Hang’s arm, acting coquettish, “Brother Hang, my cousin just likes you too much. You shouldn’t blame her.”

“Meili, you’re too kind; you’re easy to be taken advantage of.” Zhao Hang held her hand tightly, clearly disapproving.

“Just wait, once I’m out of the cowshed, I’ll make Chang Suisui regret everything she did to me!” A dark look flashed through Zhao Hang’s eyes. Since Chang Suisui blamed him for falling for someone else, he’d ruin her. Once she’s disgraced, he would torment her well—letting her know men are her destiny!

As for his Meili, of course, she needed to be well protected…

Seeing Zhao Hang try to get handsy, Chang Meili shyly pushed him away, “Ah, Brother Hang, let’s eat first…”

“All right, all right, whatever you say, little enchantress~”

Qian Weimin: “…” If he did something wrong, the law could punish him. But hearing this explosive conversation made his brow nearly knot up.

He glanced at the small enclosed room beside the cowshed and decisively flipped inside again.

He kicked the floorboards and quickly, skillfully dismantled each board of the bed until the whole thing fell apart easily, finally feeling relieved…

Outside, the rain grew heavier, water gathering along the eaves and dripping onto the wet ground, creating ripples.

Xie Yu’s dark eyes quietly stared at the windowsill, thinking that with the heavy rain, Chang Suisui probably wouldn’t come today.

A strange emptiness welled in his chest, making his brows furrow involuntarily.

A faint creak from the window suddenly caught Xie Yu’s attention. Almost instinctively, he looked over.

Then he saw Qian Weimin grinning as he clung to the windowsill.

“Brother Xie! I’m back!”

Xie Yu: “…” If it weren’t for his bad legs, he’d definitely give him a kick. Coming back is fine, but why not use the door and have to lean on the window sill?!

Qian Weimin, seeing Xie Yu’s silence, went around the window and ran inside.

“Brother Xie, I completed the task you assigned perfectly, but on the way back I overheard a shocking secret! And it’s very… very sensational!”

Xie Yu gave Qian Weimin a sideways glance. “Did you only learn these two idioms in literacy class?”

Qian Weimin scratched his head awkwardly. “That’s because after the leader left, no one’s been organizing our studies…”

Xie Yu grabbed a dry towel from the bedside and tossed it to him. “Go ahead, what’s the shocking secret?”

Qian Weimin wiped his face, threw the towel over his shoulder, then whispered mysteriously: “The woman who’s cozy with Xie Jianguo actually has a lover in the cowshed!”

Xie Yu: “Is that woman called Chang Meili?”

Qian Weimin’s eyes immediately widened. “Brother Xie, you already knew that?!”

Xie Yu: “…” No surprise there.

“And… that woman and her lover in the cowshed…”
