The village belle, Chapter 257 – The mother-in-law suddenly appears The mother-in-law suddenly appears Hei Donglian ultimately couldn’t resist Lu Yun, and she was precisely at the prime of her vigor. After Lu Yun persistently coaxed and persuaded her, she had a thorough and satisfying encounter on the heated indoor stove—this being the core narrative of Chapter 257 of the novel "The Village Belle." Afterward, Hei Donglian satisfied herself by giving Lu Yun a firm slap, laughing and scolding, “Little lover, you’ve been doing this with your aunt during the day—don’t you fear your teacher will notice? From now on, without my consent, you won’t be allowed to insist on doing this to me again. You’ll never be comfortable.” With that, Hei Donglian straightened her skirt, which had been disheveled by Lu Yun, and turned to leave. Is it always women who are inconsistent in their words and actions? She claimed discomfort, yet her expression had been quite the opposite—her peak moments had been deliberately restrained, her cries full of emotion, almost weeping. The two legs wrapped around Lu Yun’s waist were like iron bands, nearly breaking his Stretching lazily with a long, slow yawn, Lu Yun stepped out of the house and noticed Ling Xiaoman chatting with her third aunt. Seeing the satisfied smile on the third aunt's face, Lu Yun smiled gently and then stepped out of the door, kicking up the slightly worn slippers on his feet. Lu Xiaoying was fully absorbed in her work, as if she hadn't heard Lu Yun's call. "Xiaoying," Lu Yun called softly once more. Finally hearing Lu Yun's voice, Xiaoying raised her head and glanced toward the main door, set down her current task, and hurried to open it: "Lu Yun, I had something urgent yesterday that prevented me from visiting you—won't you mind?" Lu Yun chuckled: "Of course not. I love my little Xiaoying most. It's just that this weekend, I haven't been able to spend quality time with you. Today, I went into the city with Ling Teacher to help Yang Teacher with some purchases, and just returned—so I came straight to find you." Xiaoying seemed to recall something and said to Lu Yun, "Wait a moment." Not long after, Xiaoying returned with a paper package and handed it to Lu Yun: "Here you go. This is the money you asked me to keep for Liu Aunt's convenience store. Her husband and wife have just passed away, and she's likely in need of these funds. Take it over and give it to her." Lu Yun took the paper package and tucked it into his pants pocket, gazing at Lu Xiaoying’s rosy little lips and chuckling, “Xiaoying, is your father at home?” “No, he’s gone to the village committee. What do you want to do?” Lu Xiaoying immediately grew alert upon seeing Lu Yun’s mischievous smile. Lu Yun sniffed and smiled, “Not really anything special. You and Hongyu didn’t promise to split me evenly and spend weekends together, right? Since your father isn’t home, how about we go to the small forest by the eastern end of the village? I’ll catch butterflies for you and tie a wild flower hairband on your head.” Upon hearing Lu Yun mention the small forest, Lu Xiaoying’s face flushed instantly. The man must have another scheme in mind—she’d already been treated to several “dairy” incidents outside school, and once, he even reached into her blouse, gently massaging her little rabbit, and even rubbed her lower part with his claws. She simply couldn’t agree. She firmly declined, “I’m not going. I have other things to do. Go on, enjoy yourself.” "I can't stand you," Lu Yun mumbled, looking deeply disappointed. "That's not fair either—you forgot how you treated me back in the little forest outside the school! From now on, I'm never going to visit you there again. You're always coming up with evil plans. I'm afraid of you." Lu Xiaoying continued to attack, determined to crush Lu Yun's awkward thoughts before they even took root. "You're right, I admit—I nearly had it all my own way too. Once, I had to ride a big horse, and then I even climbed a tree like a monkey!" Lu Yun said, sounding genuinely upset. Recalling the scene when Lu Yun had taken advantage of her and then been punished by her, Lu Xiaoying couldn't help but giggle softly, her voice sweet and playful. "You'll see—how long you can keep treating me like that!" She thought of the chapter titled "Rural Beauty" in the current narrative. Lu Yun, though saying he wouldn't, kept glancing around at the courtyard of Lu Xiaoying's house, his eyes wandering, and added, "Xiaoying, can I at least come over to your place and play sometimes?" Lu Xiaoying gave “Lu Yun said, ‘He went to the team, right? He shouldn’t be back for a while. I’ll just play a bit and then head out. At least this weekend, I need to spend some time with my little Yingzi—otherwise, when I get to school, I’ll have to explain to Xiao Yu why I didn’t show up.’ ‘Who’s going to be jealous? You, with your self-centered attitude!’ Lu Xiaoying gave him a withering look, then softly chuckled. ‘My mom’s at home. If you’re not afraid, come in.’ She stepped aside, clearly implying, ‘Come on in if you don’t want to die.’ Lu Xiaoying’s mother wasn’t one to take things lightly either. She carried the grace and dignity of the village chief’s wife, and whenever other village women saw her, they always smiled respectfully. Even the men rarely dared to challenge her. After shaking her head, she said, ‘Perhaps it’s better if I stay put. You’ve already found out about us—maybe you’ll just give me a good scolding. But if my mother finds out, I’m afraid I’ll have to be personally questioned from my ancestors all the way down to the eight "You dare to say anything bad about my mom in front of me, and then I'll completely ignore you." Lu Xiaoying pouted, her lips lifted high. Hanging a bottle of soy sauce or something like that should be no big deal at all. Lu Yun hurriedly apologized, "I was just making a joke—I didn't mean it seriously. Well, since you can't leave, don't blame me if I don't stay with you. I'm off now, or else your mother will notice." Saying that, he winked at Lu Xiaoying and started to head for the door. "Oh, isn't that Lu's son? What's he here for? Xiaoying, you two are classmates, right? Let him come over to my house and talk. Standing outside like that is just ridiculous!" Just as Lu Yun turned around, a voice suddenly came from behind, making him jump with surprise—*there it is again*, just when he feared it would happen. Xiaoying's mom, my future mother-in-law, really knows how to time things perfectly. Frightened though I am, Lu Yun still turned around and smiled, greeting, "Uncle, I was just strolling around and happened to meet Xiao Ying. We just chatted a bit—nothing serious. My third aunt is still waiting for me to go back and help with the work, so I'll be off now." "Then why don't you wait a while? Xiao Ying's father isn't home, and there's some physical work at home that I and Xiao Ying can't manage on our own. You could help us finish it before you leave." Oh, well! Lu Yun shook his head silently. By now, there was no way he could avoid it. He hadn't even become an in-law yet, and already he was being asked to pitch in with hard labor at his mother-in-law's house—what a pity! ...
