The Urban Women's Intricacies – Chapter 199 The Urban Women's Intricacies – Chapter 199 When Land Yun returned home, the group of elder women were already chatting on the bed in the outer room with Aunt Ling Xiaoman. As Land Yun entered, he just happened to see Aunt Ling Xiaoman sitting there, her face flushed with excitement, unsure of what the women had just told her. — The Love Chamber — (paoshu) "Stupid boy! Where have you been fooling around? You insist on going to the riverbank—thank goodness nothing went wrong, or else I’ll break your legs right here!" When Aunt Hao Donglian saw Land Yun entering the room with several fish in his hands, she was furious. She immediately picked up the broom handle she had prepared earlier and stood up, ready to give him a good scolding. Ling Xiaoman quickly stepped in to stop her, bashfully saying, "Uncle San, don't hold Land Yun responsible. It was my own mistake—I accidentally fell down. Land Yun nearly couldn't climb back up either. Thanks to the help of several aunts, we managed to get out safely. Please don't scold him." Ma Cuihua, comfortably seated on Land Yun's lap, naturally didn't want the young girl to be hurt, and added, "Yes, Donglian. It's not as if anything serious happened. Why bother scolding the child? Little Yun went to the river hoping to improve our family's living conditions. Didn't you see the fish he's holding? All of them were caught by himself. Our village elders probably couldn't catch that many in one go." Ma Shufen and Lu Yun entered the house almost at the same time. Seeing Lu Yun about to be beaten, she was deeply moved and immediately called out to Ha Donglian, "Brother-in-law, Yun is just thinking about the family. Who else? Yun's teacher came to visit your house—how could you let him go without a proper meal? Now Yun has just caught a few fish, and we're all staying for dinner tonight. You should prepare more dishes, and cook these fish as well—something to show our appreciation. We can't save someone and then just leave them unsatisfied, can we?" Ha Donglian's face turned from pale to flushed under Ma Shufen's scolding. In truth, she hadn't really intended to hit Lu Yun—she had only wanted to make a show. But Ma Shufen's words struck a deep chord: yes, how could she live so frugally, so that even buying meat at the convenience store would require another credit note? He Donglian’s eyes glistened with tears as she recalled the painful moments. Lu Yun hurried over, handed her the fish, and comforted her: “Uncle, I and Ling Teacher are doing just fine, aren’t we? I promise to be extra careful from now on. This content is from Chapter 199 of ‘Rural Beauty.’” He Donglian looked up at Lu Yun, took several carp, and instantly regained her composure, smiling firmly: “Xiao Yun, you take care of Ling Teacher and the other aunts for now. I’ll go and prepare the fish. I’ll have a nice dinner tonight.” “I’ll take care of that,” Lu Yun replied with a smile. While He Donglian went off to prepare the fish, Lu Yun glanced at Ma Shufen, thinking: Well, you said my family was poor—next time, I’ll make you die of embarrassment. Ma Shufen had no idea that Lu Yun now held a grudge against her. She smiled warmly at Ma Cuihua, silently giving her a thumbs-up, as if to say: You’ve really done well, Lu Yun is truly a big deal. Ling Xiaoman listened carefully to Ma Shufen’s words without missing a single one, furrowed her brow, and rose to go to Lu Yun’s side, speaking softly, “Lu Yun, could you come out for a moment?” “Ms. Ling, what’s going on?” Lu Yun followed Ling Xiaoman out of the room, asking with some confusion. From a small pocket on her dress, Ling Xiaoman produced several damp ten-yuan bills and handed them to Lu Yun, saying, “Lu Yun, I’m truly sorry—this all happened due to my own carelessness. I didn’t expect to make your aunt suffer like this. With these several tens of yuan, please go and buy some cooked food or something else. After all, they saved us; we can’t treat them just as if they were only there for a meal.” Lu Yun hesitated, then suddenly gripped the bills tightly, saying, “Ms. Ling, I understand. I’ll consider these as a loan to you—thank you.” Then, with a steady step, Lu Yun walked out of the courtyard. Ling Xiaoman smiled. The way this young man handled himself was far more mature than one would expect from a child of thirteen When Ling Xiaoman returned to the house, Ma Cuihua and Ma Shufen, the two sisters-in-law, were standing together, talking quietly. From the occasional bursts of laughter, Ling Xiaoman judged that it must not be anything bad. "You sit here while I go out and have a few words with Shufen," Ma Cuihua smiled at Ling Xiaoman, then pulled Shufen's hand and stepped out of the room. ... "Shufen, how's it going? Did your sister not exaggerate?" Ma Cuihua said cheerfully, sitting down in a corner of the yard. "Sister, this young man is truly impressive," Shufen replied with a smile. "My little hole is almost too small to accommodate his full length—every time he comes, I'm absolutely delighted." Ma Cuihua chuckled and covered her mouth. "That's true. When I first started, I was just like you—after a short while, I couldn't keep up. This young man clearly has some tricks up his sleeve. We need to find a way to keep him close, so that Guiying and the others don't get the advantage. This content is from Chapter 199 of 'Rural Beauties'. "Brother-in-law, you just tell me what to do. I really don't want Lu Yun to get involved with Guiying and the others. Even though he's got a big issue going on, he's still only in his teens. If Guiying and the others end up draining him dry, then we'll have made things worse than they were." Ma Cuihua nodded. "But when I was by the river, I already made my point clear. If I don't let Guiying and the others taste the sweet side of things, people in the village are bound to start whispering. Then we'd be in trouble." "What if, on the other hand, Guiying and the others end up getting too comfortable with Lu Yun and keep coming back to him? Right now, just thinking about his big thing, I feel like my pores are itching—so much so that I can't bear it. I'd rather my own husband never get involved at all." Ma Shufen sighed. Ma Cuihua laughed heartily. "You're a real flirt, aren't you? When we used to argue, you always denied it. Now, after being gently pressed by Lu Yun's big thing, you've finally revealed your true colors." Ma Shufen immediately launched her counterattack: "You're no different—when you were in the water, that young man just shoved you in. That way, he didn't have to dig you out. If Niu Niu knows her mom is this flirtatious, wouldn't she want to follow suit and start getting her share of attention from the men around her, especially since she's so young?" The two sisters laughed at each other. Ma Cuihua spat out, "Shufen, what if my Niu Niu grows up and marries Lu Yun? Wouldn't that mean she could spend every day with him?" "Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? You've already been pushed aside by Lu Yun, and now you're going to marry Niu Niu to him too? What would happen if people found out about your two of you? How would Niu Niu ever manage to live with that?" Ma Shufen stared at her with wide eyes, utterly astonished. Ma Cuihua looked completely dismissive: "What's so special about that? I raised her from childhood—do you think I'm not allowed to enjoy a little of her husband's company?" After all, wasn't it me who was first pushed into the situation by Lu Yun? Making her marry Lu Yun—she clearly got the upper hand right from the start. Ma Shufen had finally given up trying to argue with her sister-in-law and simply didn't feel like explaining any further. She rubbed the spots on her back that had been painfully pinched by Lu Yun, swayed her hips, and walked back into the house. Ma Cuihua watched her go, then spat out, "You're such a fussbudget! I've never been so clueless about your little games—aren't you just afraid that Lu Yun will be squeezed out by us two? That you won't get to have your own share of attention?" ... Just as Ma Cuihua was about to go back inside, Cheng Guiying stepped out of the house and hurried over, smiling warmly. "Cuihua sister, I have something I'd like to ask you." "What is it?" Cheng Guiying glanced around, making sure no one was nearby, before smiling and saying, "It's not much—I just wanted to know more about Lu Yun's situation. This content is the text from Chapter 199 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.' Upon hearing this, Ma Cuihua immediately knew what she wanted to ask. With a teasing smile, she said, "Isn't it getting a bit restless and itchy down there—do you want to be taken by Lu Yun's big thing?" Cheng Guiying hadn't expected Ma Cuihua to be so direct. By the river, Ma Cuihua had only mentioned that Lu Yun's body was quite large, asked whether they'd like to be 'taken' a bit, and told them that she herself had already been 'taken' by Lu Yun in the water—so comfortably that she was absolutely delighted. On the way back, Ma Shufen had claimed to need to use the restroom and had stayed outside with Lu Yun for most of the afternoon before returning. Now, with a satisfied expression, Cheng Guiying began to suspect that Ma Shufen and Lu Yun must have had a full, satisfying encounter in the woods, and that Ma Shufen was truly pleased. That's why Cheng Guiying had thought it only natural to ask Lu Yun when he might have time to 'take' her too, so she could experience the sensation of being filled by his big thing—though she had been hesitant to put it so plainly. Cheng Guiying blushed slightly and nodded. "Yes, Cuifa sister, even you were nearly knocked out by Lu Yun's young man. I'm even more so—right now I'm feeling absolutely miserable. If it weren't for the hope of waiting for Lu Yun's big one to finally enter me, I'd already be reaching for my hands to settle things myself." "This matter should definitely wait until after dinner. Lu Yun and Shufen had a session just now outside. He needs to recover first." Ma Cuifa now felt a bit regretful about having agreed to Lu Yun's request to have Cheng Guiying and the others be the ones to receive him. Cheng Guiying nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right, Cuifa sister. I'll just wait a bit longer. Hmm, I'll go out and buy some meat for him to help restore his strength." As she spoke, she began to step toward the courtyard. Ma Cuifa quickly turned her eyes and softly called out, "Guiying, you'd better bring along two bottles of wine too—then it'll be easier to handle things later." Cheng Guiying paused, then immediately nodded. "Got it." And with that, she hurried out. Ma Cuihua chuckled softly, glanced at Hao Donglian busy in the kitchen, and thought: Donglian, Donglian, your backup man is about to be divided among us sisters. As she recalled the scene, two large white dishes wobbled in and entered the room, sitting beside Ma Shufen and casually glancing at Ling Xiaoman, who was watching TV. With a whisper pressed gently against Ma Shufen's ear, she said, "Shufen, this young lady is truly our number one rival. I think Xiao Yun's heart is mostly devoted to her. We must find a way to get her to leave as soon as possible." Ma Shufen glanced at Ling Xiaoman and slowly nodded. ... Rural Blossom 199, Main Text 199 – The Mothers' Intricacies Updated!
