Second brother Yang Gang got up to go to the outhouse and just so happened to see Yang Ming walking out. He waved at Yang Ming, "Third brother, come here a moment."
"..." Called by his second brother again, it definitely wasn’t anything good.
True enough, when he got closer, he heard his older brother whispering, "Third brother, you say there’s nothing wrong with you, so did you and your wife consummate your marriage last night?"
"..." How could his second brother be like a woman, always nosing into people’s business in their rooms? What was he to say? A sudden inspiration struck him, his brow relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly upward. This was his chance to gain an advantage.
He nodded and said softly, "Yeah."
Upon hearing Yang Ming’s affirmative answer, he got excited. Finally, it seemed something had happened between the third brother and his wife. He knew it! There couldn’t be anyone in their Yang Family who couldn’t perform, "How does it feel?"
"..." Could second brother please behave? He asked so explicitly. Moreover, what happened between him and his wife surely wasn’t something to be shared with others, "It’s beyond description."
"..." This third brother—asked about his feelings, and he even brought up literary expressions. Forget it, he’d better go back to the room and talk with his wife, "Alright, you go to the Academy, I’m going back to sleep."
Yang Ming watched as his second brother returned to his room. The matter of his wedding night with his wife would definitely be relayed to his sister-in-law, who couldn’t keep a secret, and she would undoubtedly tell the eldest sister-in-law, who would certainly inform the eldest brother. Thus, by responding affirmatively to his second brother, the rumors of his impotence would be dispelled.
He looked towards the room where his wife was, a smile flickering across his blushing face. He hadn’t expected that last night his wife wouldn’t reject him; he had thought he’d get beaten. Considering how things went with his wife, she surely couldn’t escape now; the consummation of their marriage was just a matter of time.
He had no idea that his wife was actually a time-traveler; such matters were trivial to her. Even if they had consummated their marriage, she could still run away if his performance was unsatisfactory.
Inside Yang Gang’s room
The moment Yang Gang returned to the room, he dove into the blankets and cuddled up to his wife.
"Don’t move. Just sleep." His wife, half-asleep, swatted him away with one slap.
"Wife, no more sleeping. I’ve got news – I ran into third brother just now. He and his wife had their wedding night last night."
"What?" Her eyes popped open, now fully awake, "Are you serious?"
"There’s no falsehood in this. Third brother confessed it himself. If you don’t believe it, you can go ask his wife."
As his wife mulled over this, she decided to check it out when she got up; soon, she drifted back to sleep
Just as Yang Ming predicted, as soon as it was light, the second sister-in-law, upon seeing the eldest sister-in-law, blurted out, "Eldest sister-in-law, it seems that third brother and his wife consummated their marriage last night."
"There’s no lying in it. My room is next to third brother’s. I heard everything clearly." The second sister-in-law couldn’t help but embellish the story.
"..." Just the night before last, she also said she heard everything clearly, but that turned out to be false.
Seeing that her eldest sister-in-law didn’t believe her, the second sister-in-law changed her claim, "Well actually, third brother himself told Yang Gang."
"Then why the nonsense about you hearing it yourself? Aren’t you ashamed?" The eldest sister-in-law said before she went back into her room; she needed to inform Yang Chun that there was no need to buy medicine for third brother anymore.
Not long after, the eldest sister-in-law came back out, "Being the first time for third brother’s wife, we should prepare something nutritious to eat for her."
When they finished preparing the food, they saw Xiaoxiao waking up, "Third sister-in-law, no need to come out, just lie down and rest. We’ll bring the food to you."
"..." What is this situation? It’s not like she is ill.
