"Did you guys say Liu Qiaoqiao is at Zhao Ergou’s house?"

"Quick, quick, quick, tell us what’s really going on with that?"

In this remote mountain village, any news with a hint of scandal always becomes the talk among the villagers during tea and meals.

The little affairs happening on the kang inside the house seem like something they could talk about for a hundred years without getting bored.

"Yeah, we saw it while we were out playing. Liu Qiaoqiao is indeed at Zhao Ergou’s house," Ning Chenguang said.

"Do you know what they were doing?" Some mischievous man tried to tease the kids.

"How would we know?" He Yue gave him a glare, "Anyway, as soon as Liu Qiaoqiao went in, they shut the door, then the lights went off inside, so we couldn’t see anything."

Those restless men, upon hearing this, immediately perked up one by one.

"Do you think Liu Qiaoqiao is cheating on her husband?"

"I’d say it’s 80% likely!"

"What’s 80 percent? I’m 100% sure! Haven’t you seen the way Liu Qiaoqiao behaves? She doesn’t look like someone who stays out of trouble!"

"Not necessarily! Remember, her brother-in-law lives in this village. Her man isn’t someone you can provoke easily. If he knew Liu Qiaoqiao dared to cheat, he might break her legs!"

"Come on, let’s make a bet! Let’s bet!"

"Bet it is!"

The commotion had been stirred up, and Ning Chenguang and He Yueyue headed back.

As the two kids walked slowly, they were followed by a massive crowd.

The villagers who were out to cool off all ran to Zhao Ergou’s doorstep to watch the show.

Meanwhile, He Mu had already climbed up onto the roof of Zhao Ergou’s house via a tree at the back.

He held a slingshot he had prepared, aimed at a wasp nest hanging in front of Zhao Ergou’s main door, and adjusted his stance and position slightly.

Then he just waited for the onlookers to arrive, ready for the big show to start.

Inside the house, things were heating up, the temperature rising rapidly, the pair of lovers still lost in the thrill of their affair.

Outside, the men had already gathered.

One of them, interested in the excitement, stepped forward and knocked on Zhao Ergou’s door, "Ergou, are you in?"

Zhao Ergou and Liu Qiaoqiao were just enjoying themselves, but the sudden knocking outside startled them into stopping, cold sweat instantly breaking out along their backs.

"Don’t make a sound." Zhao Ergou quickly covered Liu Qiaoqiao’s mouth, "We’ll just pretend we’re not here. They’ll stop knocking after a while!"

At first, neither of them made a sound, nor did they respond.

No matter how the people outside knocked, they acted as if they weren’t home.

But the commotion outside grew so loud that neighbors who had already gone to bed began to get up and come out to see what was going on.

When they heard what was happening, they immediately lost any trace of sleepiness, ready to watch the drama unfold.

Nobody came to open the door despite the knocking, but none of them dared to barge in.

After all, they were just there to watch the fun, and knowing about this affair would only make them despise the two, nothing more they could do.

But there was one person who was different.

Liu Qiaoqiao’s brother-in-law lived near the village entrance; he was about to sleep when someone, eager for drama, went to his house and explained the situation.

Once he heard, Liu Qiaoqiao’s brother-in-law immediately flew into a rage, grabbed a shovel, and headed out.
