Qin Cuifen found a stool and sat down, feeling that there was still a stench of feces on her body. She went back inside and changed into clean clothes. They were the clothes she used to wear at home before she joined the General Union, but now they felt a bit small.
Zhang Fang stared directly at Qin Cuifen, her heart filled with extreme jealousy. If only she had such resources, would she still be sleeping with those crude and unrefined old men in the countryside?
Even Little Yama, she felt confident that she could hook up with him.
"Why don’t we go to the city together?" Zhang Fang suggested, full of anticipation at the thought of Little Yama. She had had enough of rural life; only in the city could she meet better men.
"Stop saying ’we.’ If you want to go to the city, you must get rid of that country accent; otherwise, you’ll definitely be laughed at."
"Okay, okay... I... no, I mean, I will definitely change."
Qin Cuifen, with a look of disdain, asked, "Do you have any money? You can’t move an inch in the city without money."
"No! But Sheng An does!" Widow Zhang’s face twisted into a grim expression.
"Do you think she’d give you any? Don’t be delusional!" After this incident, Qin Cuifen completely realized that the Sheng sisters were not to be trifled with.
She would never take them lightly again.
"But we could steal her business; she is selling bean sprouts, we could secretly learn how."
The two of them instantly agreed and discussed how to secretly learn to make bean sprouts and how to sell them to make money. They divided the tasks and planned their future well.
The rumors about Sheng Ning spread through ten miles and eight villages like a whirlwind. The words that Qin Cuifen spoke that day morphed into several versions, each more exaggerated and dirtier than the last.
In the dead of winter, many people, out of boredom and having nothing else to do at home, enjoyed chatting about this topic after meals; everyone loved adding fuel to the fire.
Eventually, the rumors even reached the county town and the ears of Li Bin. He remembered Sheng Ning, although he had never met her, but this did not stop him from taking the matter seriously.
Because she was the fiancée of his friend, his close brother.
Li Bin could no longer sit still, realizing that Sheng Ning was part of the General Union and that the incident occurred there; perhaps he could learn something by asking around in the county.
He wasn’t a gossipmonger, but it concerned Living Yama; if it were true, he couldn’t stand by and watch his good brother get cuckolded.
And what a cuckolding that would be—it would be utterly humiliating.
The office director was reading a newspaper when he heard that the mayor’s son had come. He quickly stood up from his chair.
While others may see the mayor’s son as an important figure, he knew Li Bin had also made significant contributions.
A first-class merit; that was something he couldn’t even dream of achieving. Although now disabled, as long as Living Yama was around, no one dared disrespect Li Bin.
And everyone in the rescue world knew that Living Yama’s future held unlimited potential. Perhaps their Liyang County could indeed produce a great leader.
Li Bin had arrived using a cane, walking with difficulty and sweating profusely, even soaking his clothes underneath in the dead of winter.
"Please sit, sit down," the office director hurriedly gestured, "Why did you suddenly come here? You could have just called if there was an issue."
"It’s not convenient to discuss over the phone!" Li Bin sat down with difficulty, wiping his sweat while a pained expression flashed across his face. "I would like to ask you about Sheng Ning. What is she like?"
