Also, as they had overcome difficult times together and now enjoyed a comfortable life in a spacious and well-furnished home, with abundant food and clothing, as well as substantial savings, they couldn’t help but worry about the potential risks of someone trying to take advantage of their newfound prosperity.
They were aware that there would be many women who might be enticed by the prospect of becoming concubines to the boys, considering their economic independence and social standing. They understood that such temptations could arise, and they needed to be prepared.
Moved by the concerns and emotions in the air, Shao Sanlang turned to Yang Xiaoni with earnestness in his eyes, saying, “My love, I will never betray you. I want no one but you.”
Yang Xiaoni blushed, her eyes filled with affection as she responded, “I know you treat me the best… Brother Sanlang…”
Interrupting their moment, Qiao Xuan cleared herthroat and spoke up, “Third Brother, I have to provide you with a little reminder here. What if someone deliberately gets you drunk at a banquet and places a woman in your arms? What if you encounter a seemingly helpless young girl who faints on the street just as you pass by? What if a girl pursued by hooligans seeks refuge and throws herself into your arms, begging for protection? What if you are framed and unknowingly find yourself in a compromising situation?”
“Please, Fifth Sister-in-law, no more what-ifs. My head is already pounding!’ Shao Sanlang exclaimed, feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities being discussed.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but smile at his reaction. “I’m just presenting potential scenarios, my dear brother. As we become wealthier and if my husband attains a position in the government, our influence and interactions with prominent households and affluent individuals will increase. These situations are not uncommon in such circles, and some tricks can be even more absurd than what I’ve mentioned.’
Qiao Xuan turned to Shao Sanlang and asked, “Third Brother, how would you handle such challenges if you were to encounter them?”
Shao Sanlang was taken aback, his mind racing to find a suitable response. “Well… l… I would try my best to avoid such situations in the first place. I would be cautious and maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar women. And if, by any unfortunate circumstance, I found myself in a compromising position, I would immediately remove myself from it and seek guidance from you, my brothers and sisters-in-law, on how to handle it appropriately.”
Ms. Fang, Ms. Xu, and Yang Xiaoni were all taken aback by the depth and complexity of the world being revealed to them. They had never imagined that life could be so intricate and filled with unexpected challenges.
They began to understand that as they ventured further into this new world, they would need to navigate its complexities with caution and wisdom. It was a new chapter in their lives, one they had not anticipated but would now have to face head-on.
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni exchanged a glance, seeing worries, distress and anger arising in each other’s eyes.
“Fifth Sister-in-law, you are the clever one, tell us what we should do if we run into these problems?”
Ms. Xu asked for help.
Yang Xiaoni also nodded when she realized what was going on. “Yeah, Fifth Sister-in-law, teach us!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “It is not very difficult. You should be cautious and hard-heartened.’
“You should exercise caution when it comes to food and drinks during banquets, particularly if you are offered a toast by a woman. It is crucial to respectfully decline such invitations and refrain from taking advantage of anyone. Stay vigilant and keep a clear mind, ensuring you remain sober and in control of your actions. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid venturing alone in unfamiliar environments, especially when visiting someone else’s home. By doing so, you can prevent being lured into situations that may compromise your integrity or lead you astray.”
“You should remain firm and resolute when encountering women who try to seduce you, as their intentions are often malicious. Do not show kindness or entertain their ill-intended advances, as some of them are skilled professionals capable of deceiving even the most discerning individuals. In such situations, it is crucial to be unyielding and disregard whatever they may say to manipulate you. Their well-being should not concern you.”
“I understand that implementing these precautions may not be an effortless task. Perhaps it would be beneficial for me to have a thorough discussion with our Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, as well as Taotao and Qi.”
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni agreed..
