"What’s wrong?" Yang Mancang frowned as he looked at Yang Ruxin.
"There was no tiger inside, but still, let a few aunties go in and take a look," Yang Ruxin’s face appropriately flushed a bit, "After all... after all..." She couldn’t quite get the rest of the words out.
Yang Mancang then let his wife lead a few other women into the house.
Soon, Lin Xiaoling came out, her expression quite strange. She glanced at everyone, "What tiger? I didn’t even see a single tiger hair..." she said and glanced over at Yang Baifu, "Someone’s conscience must be guilty."
When everyone looked at the disheveled Widow Lu following behind and then at Yang Baifu, they immediately understood: the two had been having a romp here and for some reason, had gotten quite a fright.
All at once, everyone became excited. The weather was beginning to cool down and the leisurely farming season was approaching. With such juicy gossip surfacing, it was sure to add a dash of intrigue to the otherwise boring times.
"Lu Juxiang, so it’s you." At that moment, a woman screamed and lunged forward—not at Yang Baifu but at Widow Lu, "To think we’re relatives, to think I’ve always treated you like a close sister. I can’t believe you’d steal my man. Have you no shame? I’ll tear you apart..."
The people around were stunned; Yang Dongshi was always a very quiet and seemingly honest person, even her voice was usually soft, but no one expected her to be so fierce today, which showed just how much this incident had shocked her.
Widow Lu had been frightened earlier, and coming out to see this crowd left her a bit dazed. So, originally, Yang Dongshi did scratch her a few times, but soon Widow Lu came to her senses and started fighting back: "Dong Hongmei, it’s because you can’t keep your man, because you’re incompetent. What has it got to do with me?"
Yang Dongshi became even angrier, "You shameless... It was you who seduced my man. I’ll kill you..."
"Pah!" Widow Lu spat in contempt, "How long has your man not touched you? Not just because you’re barren, but have you looked at your shriveled body? No breasts at all, your man said so, touching you is no fun... and you still have the nerve to blame others..."
Some in the crowd immediately started egging them on, "Widow Lu, does it feel good to be touched by you?"
"If you dare to try, I’ll let you touch..." Widow Lu threw a seductive glance in that direction.
"Ahhh..." As a result, a scream suddenly arose from the crowd, and a man got dragged away by the ear by a woman—clearly, a wife enraged.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Ahhh..." But Yang Dongshi’s eyes reddened, and suddenly, she slammed Widow Lu down to the ground and grabbed at the other’s chest viciously.
Widow Lu screamed in pain, "Yang Baifu, you deadbeat, what were you saying when you were climbing on top of me?"
Yang Baifu, hearing this, felt a bit torn but quickly got over it and rushed over to pull Dongshi away.
Yang Dongshi looked at the man pulling at her, and after calming down a bit, suddenly screamed loudly. Just as everyone thought she was about to kill someone, unexpectedly, she bit down hard on Yang Baifu’s arm. Taking advantage of his pain to loosen his grip, she turned and ran, then with a splash, she jumped into the river.
