Chapter 17: Yanchun Spills the Beans After Drinking

Wu Xianhua didn’t change out of the sexy dress she was wearing today. Since Yanchun’s house was so close, she thought it was too much trouble. Anyway, she would take a bath after dinner.

On the way, there were indeed a few men with shifty eyes who intentionally or unintentionally stared at Wu Xianhua, their expressions lewd.

After arriving at Yanchun’s house, Wang Dafu immediately smelled the delicious aroma of food. In the kitchen, Yanchun’s busy figure made Wu Xianhua lost in thought.

“Big Fool, you’re here, where’s your Xianhua sister?”

Wang Dafu smiled, “She came with me.”

Yanchun turned her head and took a look. After a brief exchange of glances with Wu Xianhua, she smiled, “Xianhua sister, you’re a rare guest. Sit down, there’s cold tea and fruit on the table, the food will be ready soon!”

Wu Xianhua didn’t say anything, she followed Wang Dafu and sat under the big tree in the courtyard.

Two women of similar age, both equally beautiful, both without husbands, both unfortunate.

They had always been at odds, and they never thought they would be sitting together for a meal today.

Come to think of it, what grudges were worth being so petty about?

It was nothing more than jealousy and suspicion between women, and it was all because of this man, Wang Dafu.

Wu Xianhua glanced at Wang Dafu, his foolish appearance made her want to laugh.

Soon, Yanchun brought the food to the table. Wang Dafu got up to help, the three of them set the table and sat down together.

“Xianhua sister, Dafu, have a drink? Sister just happens to have some medicinal wine.”

Yanchun’s peach blossom eyes blinked, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

“Medicinal wine? What kind of medicine?”

Yanchun smiled, “It was brewed by my man last year. He hasn’t been home, so the medicinal wine has been sitting here. It’s almost ready to drink now. It’s all kinds of tonics, like goji berries, epimedium, and cistanche.”

Wang Dafu nodded, “Then have a little, Xianhua sister, you have a little too. It’s not like you have to drive or anything!”

Wu Xianhua snorted, thinking that these were all kidney tonics, they were good for men, why would a woman drink them?

At this time, Yanchun had already brought out a pot of wine from the house, she poured a full glass for herself, Wang Dafu, and Wu Xianhua.

“I’m not drinking, you two drink.”

Wu Xianhua waved her hand.

Wang Dafu could only do as she wished, he clinked glasses with Yanchun, and the three of them started eating.

During the meal, Wang Dafu kept the atmosphere harmonious. Wu Xianhua finally dispelled her years of resentment towards Yanchun during this meal.

“Xianhua sister, I’m only two years younger than you. We’re both unfortunate women. If it weren’t for Dafu, who could help us both, how hard our lives would be. We’re neighbors, actually, the men in this village are all eyeing us. We shouldn’t be fighting, okay?”

Yanchun, probably because she had drunk some wine, the alcohol was going to her head, her face was red and hot, she was exceptionally beautiful, and she opened up to Wu Xianhua.

Wu Xianhua finished her meal, she looked at Yanchun with indifference, and said in a low voice, “Yanchun, you still have a husband, you’re not a widow. Your husband will come back sooner or later. Sister-in-law is different, I’m a real widow, I know better than you how hard it is!”

Yanchun wanted to cry, but her head was dizzy, she couldn’t control herself.

“Xianhua sister, since we’re being honest, I’ll just say it. Big Fool is a good man, he’s healthy and kind. You’re a widow with no end in sight, why don’t you marry him?”

As soon as Yanchun said this, Wu Xianhua and Wang Dafu were both shocked, they didn’t speak for a while.

Wu Xianhua had naturally thought about this, but in the past, Wang Dafu was too foolish and clumsy, he couldn’t do anything. Wu Xianhua was really hesitant.

She thought that it would be fine if Wang Dafu just lived with her, helped her with chores, and maybe she would meet another man who suited her in the future. Wang Dafu would still be her fool.

But from the moment Wang Dafu brought her back from the factory at noon today, Wu Xianhua secretly changed her mind.

At this time, Wu Xianhua blushed, she didn’t dare to look at Wang Dafu, and she didn’t speak.

Yanchun smiled, the alcohol had loosened her up, she was even more reckless.

“Xianhua sister, what do you mean by not speaking? You don’t like Big Fool? Sister is saying this first, if you don’t like him, I’m going to make a move. If Big Fool becomes my man, Yanchun, don’t regret it!”

Wu Xianhua laughed, “There are so many men in the village, why do you like my Dafu?”

She deliberately added “my” before Dafu, the meaning was clear, Wang Dafu was still hers, you, Yanchun, couldn’t reach him.

“Big Fool is honest, sincere, kind, and healthy. He’s also strong… for us country women, isn’t he perfect?”

Yanchun exhaled a breath of alcohol, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Dafu, no longer hiding her affection for him.

“Those dog men in the village only know how to lust after my body. They probably get tired of me after sleeping with me a few times. I know that very well!”

Wu Xianhua’s face looked a little bad.

“But what if your husband comes back?”

“He’s dead.”

Those words stunned both Wang Dafu and Wu Xianhua.

Wu Xianhua said, “When did it happen? How come we didn’t know?”

Yanchun’s eyes were red, she was crying, she looked very pitiful.

“Xianhua sister, I’ve been hiding this from everyone in the village. I was afraid that if they knew, they would bully me even more. I didn’t want to be labeled a widow like you, so I just endured it!”

At this point, Yanchun finally couldn’t hold back, tears streamed down her face.

Their Jiangliu Village was actually an immigrant village, the villagers came from all over, there were no big families or anything like that.

So, after women like Wu Xianhua and Yanchun got married, their husbands didn’t have any brothers or sisters.

They were very isolated, so when Yanchun’s husband had an accident outside, after he was cremated, he was buried locally. No one in Jiangliu Village knew about it.

Wu Xianhua realized this, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt towards Yanchun.

In the past, she was dissatisfied with Yanchun, partly because Yanchun often asked Wang Dafu to do chores.

Because she thought that Yanchun was a married woman, she always asked her fool to go over. What would people say when they saw it?

What would Yanchun’s husband do to Wang Dafu when he came back?

Now that she thought about it, she had misjudged Yanchun.

At this time, Yanchun had been crying for a while, she regretted it a little. She shouldn’t have drunk, when she drank, she would say anything.

“Yanchun sister, I’m sorry for your loss. I didn’t know about this. Don’t worry, as long as you live in our village, I’m your brother. I’ll help you with anything!”

Wang Dafu patted his chest and promised with great loyalty.

Yanchun finished crying, she wiped her tears and held Wang Dafu’s hand, “Fool, sister doesn’t want a brother, sister wants a man!”

Wang Dafu chuckled, he looked at his sister-in-law, Wu Xianhua, and didn’t know what to say.
