Miss Village Beauty Chapter 730, Main Text 730: Both hands placed behind her head, Chapter 730: Both hands placed behind her head. Lu Yun gasped—this old lady was moving so swiftly! She barely managed to dodge Ma Cuihua’s grasp, barely avoiding being caught, and then turned and ran, muttering under her breath about how cunning this old lady had become, having learned the art of surprise attacks. Ma Cuihua sneered continuously, closing in steadily behind Lu Yun. "Miss Cui, my good auntie, are you really willing to make such a fuss over me?" Saying this, Lu Yun took another two steps forward—just a little farther, and he'd be able to re-enter the cornfield. "Stand there! One more step, and I'll snap your life right off!" Recognizing Lu Yun's intent, Ma Cui immediately rose and shouted angrily. Lu Yun felt utterly frustrated—how had this elderly woman become so sharp? Did it really have to come down to him sacrificing his dignity or even jumping into the river to take a cold plunge in order to escape her relentless punishments? "Aunt Cui, I'm truly sorry—I've made a mistake. I shouldn't have compared your two dark, solid doors at the back to crickets; I shouldn't have tried to play catch with dogtail grass against them; I shouldn't have watched you pour so much water from below and still failed to pluck a corn cob to bet against you. I admit my fault. Right now, I'll go and pluck a corn cob to help block off that area!" Lu Yun looked as though all his mistakes were entirely his own, yet his eyes were nearly bursting with laughter. Ma Cuihua had initially found Lu Yun’s earlier remarks easy to follow, but as he kept going, his explanations grew more absurd and increasingly out of touch—especially when he suggested using a corn on the cob to plug his lower body. How could she not be furious? “Lu Yun,” Ma Cuihua said, “I’ve finally seen through you. You’re nothing special—just perpetually difficult.” With each step, she advanced toward Lu Yun, fingers interlaced, clearly determined to give him a thorough scolding before she could settle her sense of being played for a fool. Seeing that Ma Cuihua was truly resolved to not let him off, Lu Yun straightened his spine and said, “Cuihua Aunt, you won’t be able to beat me—please don’t make me resort to physical action.” Upon hearing this, Ma Cuihua immediately gave Lu Yun a withering look, as if to say, *Try to touch me once, you stubborn boy!* Lu Yun stepped back one step for every step Lu Yun took forward with Ma Cuihua. Ma Cuihua's expression truly struck a chord with Lu Yun's heart. Today, even if he jumped into the river or was beaten senseless by Ma Cuihua, he wouldn't dare move a finger against her—thanks simply to the fact that her and Lu Yun's team had rescued Ling Xiaoman earlier. Beyond that, if Lu Yun injured Ma Cuihua, he'd have no way to explain it to her sister, the Third Auntie. Ma Cuihua's husband wouldn't forgive him either. Lu Yun was fearless of heaven or earth, but he simply couldn't bring himself to create unnecessary trouble for the Third Auntie and her. Moreover, the relationship between the two families was already quite good. If this little matter caused a rift, it would simply be a waste of effort—worth nothing. As Ma Cuihua pressed forward relentlessly, Lu Yun retreated step by step. When he finally had nowhere left to go, Lu Yun glanced back at the murky river channel, his heart trembling. Lu Yun had always considered this small river channel insignificant in terms of swimming ability—until now. The water was so murky, teeming with water leech "Hey, what are you thinking about?" "Ma Cuihua had heard before that Lu Yun was especially clever—full of tricks—and the most mischievous child in the village. Today, she finally saw it for herself. Thinking back on how he had completely taken her by surprise with his subtle maneuvers earlier, Ma Cuihua now had to be especially careful in dealing with this well-earned reputation of being a notorious little matriarch. Lu Yun regained his composure and saw Ma Cuihua standing before him, looking full of alertness. He immediately smiled and said, "Madam Cuihua, I can't believe that someone so gentle and refined as you would ever rough me up as a child. If I really jumped into the river, I'd be covered in water leeches, and come crawling up to you, crying for you to remove them one by one." Ma Cuihua had already anticipated that Lu Yun wouldn't dare jump into the river—because the leeches in this water channel were particularly fierce. Now that he had mentioned it, she didn't hesitate, and coldly replied, "Good to hear. Now, just place your hands behind your head, crouch down, and stay still. If you so much as twitch, I'll kick you right
