Chapter 211: Sneaking Around - The Daily Gossip of the Frail Aunt in the Courtyard

Mother Li, Mother Sui, and other elders of the older generation were deeply concerned that their children and grandchildren might associate with such a man.

After confirming the matter with Lin Qing, they hurried back home and sternly warned all the men in their families, "You better stay the hell away from that director. If he takes a liking to you, it’ll be a nightmare. And don’t you dare come telling me you’re into men! If you even think about it, don’t blame me when I break your legs!" Mother Li tapped the ground with her broom.

Yu Xiaowan and Feng Xiaoli stood with their arms crossed, glaring at their husbands, smirking ominously.

The Li family men trembled, wearing bitter smiles. Since when do men have to worry about their safety outside?

“Don’t you dare ignore what I’m saying. I mean every word of it,” Mother Li said very seriously.

"Mom, what’s gotten into you? We’d rather stay a mile away. How could we possibly approach him? Besides, we're both married. How could we like men?"

"You? You still say that? Didn’t that bastard also have a wife? Yet he’s still into men," Feng Xiaoli said while glaring at him.

The men, young and old, were speechless.

Feng Xiaoli was on edge, afraid of spotting anything unusual, but fortunately, her man was still the same, showing no signs of similarity to that director.

They had heard that the director now liked to curl his fingers like an orchid. Luckily, their men didn’t have that habit; they had never seen them do it, which put their minds at ease a bit.

Similar warnings weren’t limited to just one household, especially among those working in the factory workshops, who were all warned.

Especially those working in Workshop No. 11, who were basically reminded every day when they returned home.

That night, as Lin Qing lay in bed, she teased Cen Xi, "Thank goodness you don’t work in the workshop, or I’d be a nervous wreck."

"Tsk, what kind of crap are you spouting? Didn't my performance just now prove enough? Huh?" Cen Xi hugged her tightly.

Lin Qing, having just experienced intimacy, was very sensitive. As soon as Cen Xi moved, her body trembled.

"Ah~ enough, enough," Lin Qing pushed, trying to get him off, but her strength was insufficient, and he only held her tighter.

"I don’t think it’s enough. How about I prove it again?" Cen Xi was indeed not satisfied yet.

"No more, no more, I’m so tired!" Lin Qing started to act coquettishly, trying to dodge the situation.

"Alright! Next time, remember, if you doubt me like this again, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Mm-hmm," Lin Qing, hearing that he wouldn’t move anymore, immediately nestled back into his arms. Although it was a bit hot, she wasn’t used to not sleeping in his embrace.

Cen Xi watched her close her eyes, frown, and squirm in his arms, and soon realized she was feeling hot again.

Cen Xi immediately reached for a fan, gently stroking her back with one hand while fanning her with the other. Lin Qing quickly fell asleep.

It seemed that getting an electric fan for the house should be put on the agenda.

...

After Jiang Yang fell asleep, Lin Shu sneaked out of the house.

Unlike Lin Qing and her husband, who usually slept separately after their activities, Lin Shu could leave quietly without Jiang Yang noticing.

She went out today to bring back the treasure she heard about yesterday.

Why didn't she take it yesterday?

Because she was afraid Jiang Yang might not be asleep yet, taking the items back might get her caught.

Yes, she didn’t want to share her newfound treasures with anyone, including her husband, Jiang Yang.

Or perhaps it could be said that she wasn’t ready yet, not entirely sure if Jiang Yang was really on her side. What if Jiang Yang found out and then shared these things with his parents?

So Lin Shu had no plans to let him know right now, and keeping these things to herself wouldn’t stop her from helping Jiang Yang later!

Lin Shu thought it over and convinced herself.

Lin Shu quietly opened the door and crept to the bathroom, walked around it, then slipped into the women’s restroom. Good, it was empty. She then went to the wall of the men’s restroom and listened for a while. Indeed, there was still no one.

Hehe, she really was heaven’s favorite!

See, she planned to act tonight, and sure enough, no one showed up to bother her. It was like heaven was on her side!

However, she still didn’t know where the treasure the man mentioned yesterday was, so she needed to search carefully.

Lin Shu searched the entire bathroom and thought the most likely hiding places were the beams and the wall between the men’s and women’s restrooms.

But the wall was high, and anything hidden up there would be hard to spot.

After thinking it through, Lin Shu decided to go up and take a look.

At about 1.6 meters tall, she couldn’t reach the top of the wall even on tiptoe, so she needed some external help.

She ran outside the bathroom and, under the moonlight, looked for a big rock. She needed a big rock to stand on to reach the top of the wall.

After some searching, she finally found a rock that would work. She struggled to drag the rock into place.

Once it was in place, she eagerly climbed on and started feeling along the wall.

Sadly, there was nothing in the middle. She got down, moved the rock a bit to the side, stood up again, and continued her search.

Ugh! Still nothing? Maybe it’s been moved?

She shook her head hard. No way. If it had been moved, it wouldn’t have been hidden in the bathroom in the first place. Clearly, this guy’s house had no good hiding spots—it was less secure than the bathroom!

Then could it have been taken by the woman who was with him yesterday?

She shook her head again. No way, no way. The woman who came to the bathroom for a fling probably already had a man. If she took the stuff home, she’d have nowhere to hide it.

Lin Shu thought it over and still didn’t buy it, so she rallied her spirits, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued moving the rock to search the next spot.

Her luck held out, and she finally found what she was after in the last spot.

She reached out and her hand brushed against a bundle.

Her eyes lit up. Finally found it! She was thrilled.

She tugged at it and realized it was too heavy to pull out. Her eyes grew brighter.

Heavy, what does that mean?

It means there’s a lot! The stuff inside is valuable!

Lin Shu was overjoyed, increasing her pulling force.

"Ah!" With a final effort, Lin Shu finally pulled the bundle down.

However, she also fell off the rock, twisting her foot in the process.

Lin Shu clutched the bundle tightly, tumbled to the ground, and burst into uncontrollable giggles.
