Chapter 59: Zhang Juhua Actually Did Such a Thing

Xiao Hoshuon was aware of that method, and he furrowed his brow slightly. "It seems that method isn't very good for your health."

"There's no rush for this. Let me ask around first; we can't do anything that might harm your body."

Yan Ziyue obediently replied with an "oh." She had only heard that such a method existed, but she didn't know the specifics.

After all, none of the women in the surrounding villages would delay having children; they all thought about having them as early as possible, and usually as many as they could.

Xiao Hoshuon reminded her, "You are not allowed to go to the health clinic to ask about this."

Yan Ziyue was puzzled. "Why?"

"If you go to the health clinic to ask, it will stir up a lot of gossip. I'll go and ask instead. It doesn't matter what the villagers say about me."

"Husband, you're so good to me."

Xiao Hoshuon was quite satisfied with his current life. His wife deeply detested Xu Lecheng and was willing to live a proper life with him.

As long as she didn't do anything foolish or reckless again in the future, he wouldn't need to worry about anything.

"Alright, hurry up and review your lessons. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

Yan Ziyue continued copying her notes.

Seeing how diligently she was copying, Xiao Hoshuon walked over to look at Zhu Xinyu's notes.

Judging from the content, the boy's academic performance was indeed quite good, and his logical thinking skills were also very strong.

"Husband, this is the top student in our class." Yan Ziyue pointed at Zhu Xinyu's notes and sighed. "If Xu Yuanjie hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed that Zhu Xinyu's family situation was so difficult."

"His parents are truly trying their absolute best so that he won't be looked down upon at school."

Just like her mother—back when she was still around, she truly gave her all just to let her go to school and have a taste of meat, completely disregarding herself.

Sensing that she was thinking of her mother, Xiao Hoshuon stroked her head. "Our days will only get better, and Mom can rest in peace in the netherworld."

Yan Ziyue sighed. "When Mom passed away, Yan Zhuangshi was out."

"At the time, I thought he was out working. Now that I think about it, he was out accompanying Zhang Juhua and her daughter."

She sneered. "Didn't Yan Zhuangshi love Zhang Juhua the most? Well, now he gets to bear the consequences!"

She was waiting to watch the grand spectacle of Yan Zhuangshi and Zhang Juhua tearing each other apart like dogs, waiting to see Yan Zhuangshi driven mad with rage by Zhang Juhua. Only then would it do justice to the suffering and hardship her mother had endured.

Zhang Juhua was genuinely skilled at deliberately infuriating Yan Zhuangshi. She had brought a man from another village back to the Yan household and committed that act right in front of Yan Zhuangshi.

It had directly caused Yan Zhuangshi to faint from anger.

***

When Xiao Hoshuon learned about this incident, he had just come down from the mountain and ran into Miao Lanlan, who was collecting eggs nearby, and heard about it from her.

"Yo, Xiao Hoshuon going hunting in the mountains again?" Miao Lanlan asked with a radiant smile. "Thank your wife for me."

"If she hadn't introduced me to business, where would I have found such a great way to make money?"

Yesterday noon, Xiao Hoshuon's wife had deliberately helped her sell eggs outside the state-run factory, introduced her to her regular customers, and explained that she would be the one selling eggs from then on.

Just yesterday noon, she had earned over two yuan, more than her entire family earned in a month.

Xiao Hoshuon nodded faintly. "Mn."

Miao Lanlan didn't mind his attitude at all and smiled even brighter. "When you head back, stay away from the Yan family's place."

"Zhang Juhua brought some wild man back and did the deed right in front of Yan Zhuangshi, directly passing him out from anger. Right now, a whole circle of villagers is gathered around the Yan house watching the commotion."

She truly admired Zhang Juhua; at a time like this, instead of thinking about how to survive the future, she still dared to bring a wild man home to enrage Yan Zhuangshi.

Xiao Hoshuon was a little surprised. "There's a man willing to do that?"

Miao Lanlan understood what he meant and looked disgusted. "How could someone turn down a free delivery?"

"Zhang Juhua's face is covered in scars, looking both ugly and terrifying, but that doesn't change the fact that she's a woman."

"You have no idea, there are always some men who only care if the other person is a woman and completely ignore everything else."

Just as Xiao Hoshuon uttered a soft "Mn," he heard an unfamiliar female voice.

"Xiao Hoshuon, you're here?"

A young woman dressed with a scholarly air walked up to Xiao Hoshuon holding two books. "I have a few high school knowledge points I'd like to ask you about. Are you available?"

Miao Lanlan recognized her as an educated youth from the educated youth lodge. She rarely interacted with the villagers, usually spending her time either working or reading in the lodge, projecting an air of looking down on the villagers and considering herself too good to speak with them.

Right now, this woman was holding two books and actively seeking out Xiao Hoshuon, clearly trying to use books as an excuse to seduce a man.

Why were there so many shameless creatures in the educated youth lodge?

Xiao Hoshuon didn't even spare her a glance, saying to Miao Lanlan, "Thanks for letting me know."

With that, he walked away.

The female educated youth tried to chase after him.

She was intercepted by Miao Lanlan, who looked at her with the scrutinizing gaze one might give to cheap goods. "Did you read those books into a pig's brain? Have you forgotten all about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame?"

"Xiao Hoshuon has a wife!"

***

Miao Lanlan mocked, "Don't think I can't see through you. You're throwing yourself at him simply because you see that Xiao Hoshuon has money, and you want to use your looks and your identity as a city person to scam him out of cash so you can live a good life!"

"You're probably even planning to kick Xiao Hoshuon to the curb the moment you return to the city, and continue living your comfortable life."

Her hidden intentions exposed, the female educated youth looked somewhat embarrassed, but her expression quickly turned into one of intense rage. "Miao Lanlan, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"I'm warning you, if you dare talk nonsense again, I'll make you pay."

With that, she hurried away.

Instead of returning to the educated youth lodge, however, she trotted straight over to Xiao Hoshuon and waited for him by his front gate.

When Xiao Hoshuon returned and saw the female educated youth standing at his doorway, his face turned ice-cold. "Get lost!"

The female educated youth was somewhat afraid of him, but the thought of how wealthy he was—and how he might be able to pull strings to help her return home sooner—dissipated her fear.

"Xiao Hoshuon, I really do have some high school academic questions I want to ask you."

She raised the books in her hand. "You're the only high school graduate in the village, and I heard your grades were very good, which is why I came to ask you."

She believed that starting from this angle would surely make Xiao Hoshuon look at her differently.

Xiao Hoshuon ignored her completely, pushed open the courtyard door, stepped inside, and slammed it shut with a loud bang.

The female educated youth stomped her feet in frustration, refusing to believe she couldn't break Xiao Hoshuon down!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

During the lunch break, Yan Ziyue was discussing the matter of selling notes and organizing tutoring sessions with Xu Yuanjie and Zhu Xinyu.

The three of them crouched in a corner of the playground, eating their meals while plotting.

"Would that really be okay?" Zhu Xinyu looked at Yan Ziyue and Xu Yuanjie with shock, as if a whole new world had just opened up to him.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he had the lingering sensation that these two felt like long-lost siblings.

They were equally talented at making money!

Xu Yuanjie threw an arm around his shoulder, looking thoroughly unconvinced. "Old Zhu, you're just too kind-hearted."

"Look at how good you've been, but what have those people ever done to reward you?"
