Chapter 155: Chapter 105: Summon all the Da Xingzi from around the village. I have something to say.

「The next day.」

At noon, Zhao Qiao’Er sat in the main hall, looking as poised and elegant as ever. She calmly sipped a cup of throat-soothing tea.

Looking at her now, you’d never imagine that just last night, this very mature and stunning woman had been the one wailing and screaming her lungs out.

The things she’d been screaming were simply too filthy to repeat.

Even the whores in the brothels probably weren’t as vulgar as she had been.

So unbelievably wanton.

The dishes for lunch were now almost all on the table.

"Come on, let’s eat. Aren’t you hungry?"

Song Meiqin, who had just finished setting out the chopsticks, raised an eyebrow at Zhao Qiao’Er and said.

Song Meiqin hadn’t gone to the factory today.

After all the commotion last night, she had stayed home, worried something might come up today.

Zhao Qiao’Er glanced at Song Meiqin and gave a soft snort. Without a word, she looked toward the south room.

Song Meiqin couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"I already asked. Yuan’Er said he doesn’t want to eat and wants to sleep a little longer. We can just go ahead and eat."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiao’Er blinked, lost in thought for a moment.

But Song Meiqin said in a teasing tone,

"Going at it until almost dawn, and you’re already up after just three or five hours of sleep."

Then, Song Meiqin suddenly leaned in conspiratorially toward the still-dazed Zhao Qiao’Er.

"So, I’ve got to ask...

Your voice up here is shot, but is everything... down there... still working?"

Uncharacteristically, Zhao Qiao’Er wasn’t flustered or angered by Song Meiqin’s comment.

Instead, she tilted her head back slightly, giving Song Meiqin an incredibly smug look.

Then, she parted her red lips and said in a raspy voice, 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"You little virgin~"

"This is grown-up business. Little girls shouldn’t ask so many questions~"

Song Meiqin was completely floored by Zhao Qiao’Er’s sudden comeback.

She had meant to poke fun at Zhao Qiao’Er.

But instead, Zhao Qiao’Er had completely turned the tables on her!

Song Meiqin gritted her teeth, trying to think of a retort.

But after a moment, she realized she had no comeback.

’Hey!!’

’How did I let this hussy get the upper hand on me?!’

Seeing Zhao Qiao’Er’s triumphant expression, Song Meiqin’s anger flared. She put her hands on her hips and snapped,

"Don’t you get too smug!

Look at you, acting so shameless last night!"

Normally, a person would get angry when ridiculed under equal circumstances.

If this had happened before, Zhao Qiao’Er would have definitely fired back with a few insults of her own.

But now, Zhao Qiao’Er simply lounged back in her chair, teacup in hand, completely unbothered.

In fact, the smile on her face only grew wider.

Zhao Qiao’Er just smiled at Song Meiqin without saying a word, an act that dealt a devastating blow.

Finally, Song Meiqin gritted her teeth and huffed,

"It’s my turn tomorrow night!

You’re only two days ahead of me, so what’s there to be so smug about!"

With that, Song Meiqin turned on her heel and went into the south room, ignoring Zhao Qiao’Er completely.

Inside the south room, Lu Yuan was still fast asleep.

Song Meiqin and Su Liyan were quietly tidying up the room together.

The state of the room was truly a disaster.

It was hard to imagine what the two of them had been up to the previous night.

All the furniture in the south room was in complete disarray.

The table was broken, the chairs were knocked over.

Bedding, pillows, clothes, and undergarments were strewn everywhere.

On the dressing table shared by Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin, the mirror was obscured by a pair of Zhao Qiao’Er’s panties.

The cosmetics on the table had either been knocked to the floor or scattered all over the room.

Seeing this, Song Meiqin couldn’t help but pout.

’What a waste of my cosmetics,’ she thought. ’My brother brought some of these all the way back from out of province for me.’

Now they were either spilled on the floor or ruined by water, clumping into useless lumps.

Completely unusable. Utterly ruined.

"How could they get so wild... Honestly... Why didn’t they just do it on the roof!"

Song Meiqin grumbled under her breath as she looked around the messy south room.

But Su Liyan, who had been quietly cleaning beside her, turned around, blushing, and whispered,

"Auntie~

Please, stop talking. Let’s just hurry and clean up..."

Song Meiqin waved her off.

"I can handle the cleaning. Liyan, you should go get something to eat and rest for a bit."

But Su Liyan, holding a washbasin and gathering the clothes, whispered,

"It’s okay, it’s okay. Besides, it’s not good to let outsiders handle this sort of thing.

We need to get it cleaned up quickly. After all, you’ll be needing the room soon, Aunt Song..."

Su Liyan’s words made Song Meiqin blush beet-red.

For a moment, Song Meiqin was speechless.

Su Liyan finished gathering the scattered clothes and carried the basin outside.

As soon as she stepped out, Zhao Qiao’Er, blushing, called out to her in a hoarse voice,

"Liyan~

You don’t have to clean that. Just let your Aunt Song do it."

But Su Liyan just smiled at Zhao Qiao’Er.

"Oh, it’s no trouble, Aunt Zhao~

We’re all family here. It’s nothing."

With that, Su Liyan went out. In a corner of the central courtyard stood a large, hand-cranked washing machine.

She tossed the clothes inside, poured in a basin of water, and got started.

A moment later, Song Meiqin came out as well, carrying another basin of laundry.

Looking at Song Meiqin, Su Liyan smiled and said,

"Aunt Song, this thing really works well, doesn’t it~"

Song Meiqin smiled and sighed in admiration.

"Isn’t it? Yuan’Er is amazing for coming up with this~"

Su Liyan gave the handle a couple of cranks. As she waited for the machine to spin on its own for a few rotations, she nodded.

"I wish it were a little cheaper, then even the other villagers could afford one.

They wouldn’t have to freeze their hands washing clothes in the river during the dead of winter."

Song Meiqin nodded.

"It’ll get cheaper in the future. Yuan’Er said so.

He said that for this kind of manufactured product, the cost goes down as more are made."
