Li Xiufang blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed. After all, she was Land Yun's elder, and to have him speak so openly about such matters left her feeling uncomfortable. Yet, in her heart, she truly hoped that things would unfold exactly as Land Yun had described. Though her joy hadn't clouded her sense of judgment, she knew clearly what lay ahead. With her companions Ma Shufen and Ma Cuihua by her side, she felt no real hesitation. She merely nodded gently, without directly answering Land Yun. Lu Yun giggled. "Honestly, I just wanted you to say it out loud—your little opening, from now on, will be exclusively for me." "You're dreaming, aren't you? It was originally my uncle's, and now you've taken it over. Do you really think you can displace my uncle's stronghold and take it all for yourself?" Lu Yun's earlier praise of her opening being more comfortable than Ma Shufeng's had warmed her heart—after all, she was a few years younger than Ma Shufeng, so a bit tighter was entirely natural. With her spirits high, she didn't feel any resentment toward Lu Yun's persistent attentions. On the contrary, being kept busy all the way by him had reignited her passion. This persistent boy clearly still had her charm. Lu Yun smiled softly. "My uncle is my uncle, and I'm me. We won't be going in together—just find a time gap, that's all." Li Xiufang had no patience to waste words with him. This obnoxious young man clearly just wanted to alleviate his loneliness by finding someone to chat with—how surprising! He'd gone through so much fuss, yet he recovered so quickly. Even an adult would likely need half a day to recover from such exertion. Yet Lu Yun had only dozed off with his eyes open for a short while, and his recuperative ability was truly remarkable. This content is from Chapter 598 of "Rural Beauty." Ma Shufen just turned around and saw Li Xiufang raising her hand to hit Lu Yun, instantly knowing that Lu Yun, that mischievous youngster, must have been bothering Li Xiufang. She called out, "You two don't hurry up and get going! What are you lingering about back there?" Taking this opportunity to escape, Lu Yun didn't forget to tell Li Xiufang, "Uncle Xiufang, you've always been thinking of me—day after day, you've been tending to the water curtain cave below. That will surely make things more convenient when it comes time for official matters." Truly, they were rivals. Li Xiufang stomped her feet in resentment, yet had no recourse against Lu Yun. Lu Yun caught up with Ma Shufen and, gasping for breath, asked, "Aunt Shufen, why are you so eager to go back? Isn't there someone else at home who's waiting for you?" Ma Shufen, whose tongue was far sharper than Li Xiufang's, chuckled and replied, "You brat, don't try to tease me! I simply don't have the time to chat with you. You've been hovering over me so insistently—I "As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and smiled, asking, 'When your aunt Li Xiufang first came to hit you, what did you say to her?' Lu Yun took the hoe off her shoulder and held it in her hand, smiling at Ma Shufen. 'Mam, did I make you angry?' Ma Shufen replied, 'What could have made me angry? Unless you said something bad about me in front of her.' 'I didn't say anything particularly bad, though—I only told the truth.' Lu Yun drew her nose slightly and flashed a mischievous smile. Ma Shufen immediately knew there was nothing good going on, yet she was still curious about what exactly Lu Yun had said to Li Xiufang. She urged, 'Don't keep me in suspense! If you have something to say, say it—what's the point of saying half and leaving the rest?' 'Just get on with it!' she added. Lu Yun subtly hunched his shoulders, but Ma Shufen proved far more difficult to handle than Li Xiufang. At least, she wouldn't take any verbal setbacks. Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled and said, "Then, that's exactly what I'm going to say—so don't be upset when I mention it. This content is from Chapter 598 of 'Rural Beauty.'” "Please just get on with it already—I'm quite puzzled by now." Lu Yun gave a strange smile, approached Ma Shufen, and said, "Madam, I told her your vaginal opening isn't as tight as hers." Immediately, he jumped back, fearing that Ma Shufen might suddenly reach out and slap him. Ma Shufen looked deeply annoyed—before she could even raise her hand, Lu Yun had slipped away like a eel, leaving her only able to stare in disbelief as he made playful faces at her from a distance. Hmph! Ma Shufen huffed, thinking, "You young fool, don't act so confident yet. You said there wouldn't be any competition from Xiufang, right? Well, tonight we're having a four-way battle—hah! Those two young village wives just got married a short while ago. They'll be crushed under the pressure!" Without paying any attention to Lu Yun, Ma Shufen turned and called out to Li Xiufang, then hurried off toward her home. "Lu Yun nodded immediately. Even if Ma Shufen didn't mention it, he had no intention of making a move on Jinzhi—after all, she was his future mother-in-law. If he did, things would surely get all mixed up. Still, the several beautiful young wives Ma Shufen had brought in that evening insisted on making a show of it. "Shufen Aunt, just relax. Have them clean up the Water Curtain Cave, and we'll let our guns do the talking," Lu Yun said with complete indifference. Four or even ten of them—we can handle that easily. Ma Shufen smiled and covered her mouth. "Don't go all boastful yet. You said the lower part was loose, right? You didn't even care for the wife from Er-Dan's household. But the two young wives I brought from neighboring villages—those are no ordinary folks. Be careful, or you'll lose your stronghold, and they'll snap your spear right in half." She giggled, took a few small, light steps, and departed. Lu Yun watched her retreating figure and muttered, "They want to snap our precious spear? Unless they've hidden mousetraps among them, we'll just keep them busy until … The Country Beauty 598, Main Text 598 Unless the hidden mouse traps have been updated!
