Chapter 561: Li Lianghua
On the way, Li Lianghua unexpectedly meets a beautiful young lady named Yi Yi, and is suddenly squeezed—quite unexpectedly. Lu Yun is utterly frustrated. "By the gods, is it possible that my manly business is especially reserved for her? Does he get to perform whenever he wants? Well, then, I'm not going to let her down tonight!" Lu Yun shakes his head, reaches into his pants pocket, and suddenly feels a jolt—then turns and rushes home.
Smoke!
Yang Yanping's pack of cigarettes, still tucked in the pocket he'd just removed, will surely be noticed by his third sister. If she finds out, she'll give him a good scolding. Worse still, if the cigarettes end up in the hands of his third uncle—a man who smokes like his life depends on it—how will he manage to endure the strain? Lu Yun is now in a state of panic, silently praying that his third sister hasn't yet taken him to wash his clothes.
Rushing into the yard, she breathed a sigh of relief. Neighbors Zhang and San were chatting under the tree shade. When Hao Donglian saw Lu Yun return so quickly, she was drenched in sweat, surprised, "Little Yun, how come you came back so fast? Did something happen?" Lu Yun wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "San, no problem. I forgot to pick up something. Where did I leave my changed clothes?" Hua Donglian watched Lu Yun with a look of puzzled concern, "I still haven't washed them yet—they're in the large basin inside the house." Seeing that Hua Donglian wasn't angry, Lu Yun finally relaxed, relieved that she hadn't been noticed. She then gave a polite wave to Zhang, who was about thirty or forty years old.
This sister-in-law's real name is Li Liánhuá. She has a pleasant appearance, and as she sat on the chair, two large, round bundles of clothes pressed against her knees, bulging out in a substantial heap. Li Liánhuá lived right next door to Hao Donglián. Today, despite trying to nap, she couldn't fall asleep and had come over to chat with Hao Donglián. Seeing Lu Yun hurrying toward the house, she smiled at Hao Donglián and said, "Donglián, you and your third brother don't have children yet, but Lu Yun is so thoughtful and well-mannered. You'll surely enjoy many years of comfort together." Hao Donglián smiled gently, watching Lu Yun's figure as he entered the room, her eyes full of affection.
Pulled the cigarette into his pocket, Lu Yun washed his face. Having run all the way back, he was drenched in sweat, so he also washed his neck and arms. If it weren’t for Mrs. Zhang next door, he’d have really wanted to strip off completely and take a cold shower. After washing and drying himself, Lu Yun stepped out of the house and headed straight for the front door.
Lu Yun was quietly amazed. Though Li Liānhua was already in her thirties or forties, her figure was remarkably well-maintained. She had been constantly arranging marriages all year long, earning a good income from the matchmaking—yet her life was actually more comfortable than that of ordinary farming families. Watching the man, whose knees had pressed him into a flat shape, his snow-white skin revealing two rosy patches, gently squeezed by the lovely young woman, now showing signs of growing interest, a small tent had quietly begun to take shape. Lu Yun’s every facial expression and bodily change had been perfectly observed by Li Liānhua, who looked up at him with a smile and said, “What’s the matter? Are you still shy? I’m not charging you anything—I’m offering you a beautiful wife for free. Now, tell me, what kind of girl do you like?” Lu Yun was highly sensitive to the changes in his own body. Though he deliberately kept his eyes away from Li Liānhua’s alluring white skin, he couldn’t help but gradually lift his head, his member rising with the movement. Blushing, he replied, “Someone like Zhang’s sister would be perfect.
"Having said that, she was afraid of being scolded and hurried off, barely pausing. As Lu Yun moved aside, Li Lianghua's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise—so large, really so large!!!"
"Li Lianghua, what's wrong? Are you upset with Lu Yun? This child has always been mischievous, never taking his time to speak properly. Don't take it personally," Hao Donglian observed Li Lianghua's expression of astonishment, thinking she must be displeased with Lu Yun. "When he comes home in the evening, I'll give him a good scolding with the broom handle."
He Donglian had no idea about Li Liánhuā’s current thoughts. When Lu Yun approached, Li Liánhuā noticed that the child’s eyes were constantly fixed on the flesh exposed at her neckline, gazing at it without blinking. A small tent had even been erected there. She had intended to tease him a bit, but hadn’t expected his reaction to grow so intense—his tent rising higher and higher. As she sidestepped away, a quick glance revealed to her something entirely new, her eyes wide with astonishment. Even at such a young age, Lu Yun’s physique was already remarkably robust. A ripple of emotion surged through her. Gurgling streams of water now flowed from beneath the waterfall in the cave. She shook her head vigorously, saying, “What is she thinking about? He’s just a child! The men of this land are all useless—no matter how tall or strong they appear, they’re merely handsome but utterly ineffective.”
As she quietly comforted herself, she heard Ha Donglian repeatedly apologizing to her, then smiled warmly and said, "Donglian, am I really that petty and timid? Besides, the fact that Xiao Yun has expressed a liking for someone like me shows that I still have some charm. I'm so delighted I don't even have time to feel annoyed." Ha Donglian smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say, though she was quietly thinking: Well, if Xiao Yun really likes someone as graceful and refined as me, he might as well remain single for life. In fact, Miss Li had a particular habit.
Every time I help arrange marriages, I send one of the young men from the prospective groom's side over to my house alone in the evening. As for what happens during the visit—well, these young men, who were originally still unmarried and quite shy, transform into full-fledged men once they step inside and come back out. The whole thing used to happen quietly, without anyone knowing, until Li Liana arranged a marriage for someone. That evening, during the wedding ceremony, the groom, in a moment of excitement, accidentally mentioned it, and was then strongly urged by the bride to visit Li Liana's home, where he ended up giving her a vigorous scolding. Li Liana's husband, deeply upset, left home without saying a word and went off to an unknown destination. Yet Li Liana continued to carry on as usual, helping others with matchmaking and arranging marriages without missing a beat.
Originally, no one in the village wanted Li Lianhua to help with matchmaking after such an embarrassment. Yet though she wasn't always fair or sincere in her actions, she was truly persuasive in her words. Every household that sought her assistance in arranging marriages ended up with a successful match. As a result, Li Lianhua's reputation spread across several nearby towns, bringing in considerable income—and tainting the pure hearts of many young men.
