Country Beauty No. 738, Main Text No. 738 – Chapter 738: Zhang Wang Thinks of His Wife The wine-loving Zhang Wang saw a figure suddenly emerge from the cornfield, a peculiar smile on his face, and approached Lu Yun, waving around Ma Cuihua’s inner garments and asking, “Lu’s son, isn’t this your lost pants? Do you still want them? If not, I’ll take them back and drink some more wine.” Zhang Wang hadn’t taken a bath in quite some time—his body emitted a sour rice scent, and a swarm of flies buzzed around him constantly. Yet Lu Yun didn’t even flinch. Zhang Wang himself was a pitiful figure, and Lu Yun had always shown deep compassion toward such people. With a warm smile, Lu Yun said, “Zhang Wang, these pants were actually mine—would you mind returning them to me?” "Zhang Wang tilted his head, looking around at Lu Yun, then burst out laughing in a silly, awkward way: 'You're lying! You think I'm really stupid? This is clearly a woman's underwear—my wife used to have one just like this... My wife! I'm thinking of my wife... Oh! I'm thinking of my wife! I want my wife!' As soon as Zhang Wang mentioned women, he seemed to recall his wife who had left him, and suddenly cried like a child, loudly calling out 'I want my wife!' with tears and snot streaming down his face, leaving Lu Yun deeply moved. 'Don't cry, your wife will be back soon,' Lu Yun said, the only words he could think of to comfort Zhang Wang, besides the one he had to lie about. Zhang Wang seemed convinced by Lu Yun's words, and smiled weakly: 'Really, don't lie to me—otherwise, I'll go to your house and have a drink with your uncle, hehe...' Seeing Lu Yun's two yuan in hand, Zhang Wang wiped away tears and snot with his arm, eyes shining with excitement: 'Money! Money! I can buy wine now, Lu Yun! You're such a good young "Looking at Zhang, Lu Yun didn't know what to say—Zhang was clearly crazy about his wife, which is why he drank so heavily, becoming a true drunkard, hoping to reunite with his wife in his drunken fantasies. 'Landlord's son, you're not half bad. If you can see my wife now, shouldn't you also be able to see us when we're having sex?'” Zhang Wang stared at Lu Yun with a fierce expression, his eyelashes stuck together, eyes wide open and glaring. Lu Yun felt utterly dazed—how could this seemingly foolish Zhang Wang have thought of this? Lu Yun had no idea whether Zhang Wang was truly stupid or simply mimicking a fool like Zhang himself. "Zhang Wang, your wife belongs only to you. Others can't see her, nor can they take her away," Lu Yun said, quietly wiping a bead of sweat. Zhang Wang listened, blinked at Lu Yun in a dazed manner, then chuckled, "Lu Yun, you're absolutely right. My wife belongs only to me—no one can take her away, no one can take her away..." As Zhang Wang repeated the phrase "no one can take her away" over and over, Lu Yun grew worried that he might start acting crazy again, so he quickly added, "Then, can you hand me over the underwear you're holding now?" Zhang Wang suddenly shook his head, asking, "You haven't told me yet—why do you need my wife's underwear?" "Don't tell me, I'll treat you like a precious treasure, pressing the underwear right against my face, gazing at you with deep delight. But what brings Land Yun great comfort is that this time, when he mentioned women, Zhang Wang didn't cry out with tears, saying he wanted a wife. 'I've told you, don't worry about this—I have my own uses,' Zhang Wang said, before Land Yun finished speaking. Then, he crept up to Land Yun, glanced around cautiously, and chuckled, 'Land Yun, my young man—tell me, aren't you also thinking about marrying? Isn't your wife starting to feel like she's leaving you? Are you going to take this woman's underwear back and just play with the washing machine yourself? Tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone!' Land Yun's hairs stood on end as Zhang Wang spoke—how could this man be so utterly ridiculous! Land Yun now fully admired Zhang Wang. Anyone who ever claims Zhang Wang is foolish or has a mental issue will surely find Land Yun the first to rise in opposition. Zhang Wang isn't mentally impaired—he simply never thinks in straight lines. His mind is completely filled with women and wives. Yet, it's not surprising. Consider a When Zhang Wang brought the woman home, he heard from his third aunt that the family had been barely able to afford meals—why could Zhang Wang’s wife leave so calmly, while Lin Shu remained? Was Lin Shu deceiving himself all along? Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, unable to grasp the key point. In his mind, Lin Shu’s image of a woman with pear blossoms falling like rain kept recurring. He rubbed his temples, silently telling himself he was overthinking—Lin Shu’s genuine emotions were no act, and Lu Yun was certain of that. Yet, why had Lin Shu stayed with a younger man who was so much younger than herself? Was there something Lin Shu had been keeping hidden from him? Lu Yun felt a bit dazed, as if all these messy things were tangled like a mess of threads—always out of order, never quite clear. “Lu’s son, are you thinking about your wife? Don’t worry—come back with me to the village. We’ll have a drink together, and then you’ll finally see your wife again…” Zhang Wang’s words echoed in Lu Yun’s ears, pulling him back to reality… Rural Beauty 738, Main Text 738 – Zhang Wang thinking about his wife updated!
