The Village Beauty No. 132, once secretly heard during the second watch (midnight) — once secretly heard during the second watch (midnight) — once secretly heard during the second watch. Ah, nowadays it's hard to get recognition for one's efforts. We old oxen work so diligently, yet end up being blamed. What injustice! This content is the textual material from Chapter 132 of "The Village Beauty." Lu Yun was filled with inner anguish, then gazing at the adorable sight of Liang Hongyu in her sleep, his heart overflowed with emotion. Reaching out, he gently wrapped her slender waist in his arms, cradling her warmly. "Stop fussing, I'm going to sleep," Liang Hongyu murmured, pushing gently at Lu Yun with her small hand. Lu Yun smiled softly, continuing to hold her close, whispering, "Hongyu, don't go to sleep yet. It's time to get up when the sun rises." "Oh…" Liang Hongyu suddenly awoke, hastily stepping away from Lu Yun's embrace, exclaiming, "Is it already morning? How come so quickly? I just now thought I had just fallen asleep." Suddenly lifting her gaze to see Lu Yun's smirking expression, and then through the high window, noticing the star-filled sky outside, she realized she had been played for a fool, pouting and breathlessly complaining, "You've been playing tricks on me again! It's still night, isn't it? I'm so tired. Just let me sleep a little—please, really!" Her tone carried a clear plea by the end. "I heard that newlyweds usually stay up all night during their first wedding night," Lu Yun said seriously. Liang Hongyu, still half-asleep, immediately interjected, "Who told you that?" "Actually, you don't need to know—what matters is that I haven't lied." (This content is from Chapter 132 of 'The Village Beauty'.) "Oh! Did you sneak into our wedding to listen in?" Thinking of Lu Yun's endless creativity, Liang Hongyu suddenly realized he must have secretly eavesdropped on someone else's wedding celebration. Lu Yun chuckled, neither nodding nor shaking his head, simply staring呆ly at Liang Hongyu's rosy cheeks. Yet inside, he was far from the calm expression he displayed. Indeed, Liang Hongyu had accidentally guessed right—this rural custom truly thrives in the days when the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, with relatives either peering from the wall corner or hiding somewhere to eavesdrop on the couple's activities, assessing whether the bridegroom is truly a man of strength. The benchmark for judging a bridegroom's courage is simply how loudly the bride calls out. Often, people stay up all night, listening until dawn. The young couples themselves are well aware of this tradition, so as long as the bridegroom has sufficient stamina, they usually end up being kept busy until morning. As for whether the bridegroom truly demonstrates bravery, it all depends entirely on whether the bride is willing to cooperate. Some newlyweds, deeply in love and harmonious in their feelings, would find their newlyweds' experience quite different depending on the bridegroom's health. If the bridegroom was frail, the attentive bride would quietly comfort him, then, with great dramatic flair, loudly proclaim their marital bliss until dawn. Conversely, if the bridegroom was inept and the bride lacked sensitivity, the village would surely spread the news the very next day that "the newlyweds' wedding night was a failure—his body was weak and unable to meet the bride's expectations," turning it into a lasting source of laughter. Perhaps the newlyweds were both parched and eager, and the groom was especially vigorous during their first encounter, with the bride, being a first-time experience, calling out with a loud, passionate cry. Land Yun even heard the villagers outside, secretly listening, applauding the groom’s boldness. However, the groom’s vigor was limited to that initial act. After the couple had rested and prepared for their second round, the bride expressed her growing dissatisfaction. The very words she uttered still make Land Yun chuckle when recalled. How unconsiderate she was of her husband—unable to sustain the second round—she loudly complained, “What’s wrong with you? So many villagers are outside listening! Why can’t you just hold on?” As soon as she said this, a wave of laughter erupted from outside. Land Yun, hiding beneath the bed, silently scolded his groom for being such a fool, offering him absolutely no dignity. This content is from Chapter 132 of "Rural Beauty." Actually, the bride wasn't lacking in insight—she was just outspoken and direct, always saying what came to mind. But how could she possibly shout it out loud like that? Even if she weren't lacking in insight, in the eyes of the villagers, she'd surely be seen as someone missing a bit of backbone. Lü Yun, hiding beneath the bed, finally couldn't help but chuckle. The groom was deeply frustrated at that moment. Upon hearing laughter coming from beneath the bed, he immediately understood what was going on. He jumped out of bed barefoot, turned on the lamp, and knelt on the floor, growling, "Who's there? Get out here!" This outburst startled Lü Yun so much—he could hear it clearly, but having crawled under the bed to eavesdrop was something he'd never done before. With the bed space so limited, Lü Yun had no choice but to crawl out, smiling warmly at the groom and calling out brightly, "Uncle Tie-dan." Though Tie-dan wasn't particularly strong-built, he was famously fiery. Seeing Lü Yun, a young boy hiding beneath the bed, he raised his palm and was about to give him a good scolding. Fortunately, the bride stopped his rough behavior, saying that the villagers were all outside listening, and if it were discovered that there was a third person in the room, there was no telling what gossip might spread throughout the village. Hearing his wife's words, Tie Dan finally reluctantly released Lu Yun. Indeed, the bride was quite bold and spirited—right in front of Lu Yun, she didn't even bother to cover her bare body, simply lying on her side and smiling at him, this daring young man. That night was the first time Lu Yun had seen a woman, and the dense expanse of her body had made him so afraid that even his young member raised its head in fear. Especially in the morning, when Lu Yun quietly stepped out of the bridal chamber, the words his bride had said then still made his blood surge with excitement. "Lu Yun, what's wrong? Why are you smiling so foolishly?" Li Hongyu noticed that Lu Yun's gaze had wandered, and gently waved her hand in front of his face, asking with a delicate, tender tone. Hmm... Lu Yun came back to himself, a bit embarrassed, scratching his head. Man, right in front of him was a little beauty who just wouldn't let go—though not quite mature yet, she carried a pure, fresh charm. What was he thinking of, all those trivial things? "Nothing really," Lu Yun chuckled. "I was just thinking—when will our little Yu grow up?"
