Chapter 217: Spectacular – Daily Melon Eating at the Sickly Aunt’s Courtyard

Chapter 217 Spectacle - The Daily Gossip of the Frail Aunt in the Compound

"Whoa!!!"

Gasps of amazement filled the air.

Lin Qing clapped a hand over her mouth in shock, finding only one word to describe the scene—absolutely breathtaking. She had never seen such a grand spectacle in her life.

About a dozen or so people had all tumbled into the cesspit, the sewage splashing up to a meter high!!!

Those who couldn't squeeze into the toilet also got caught in the mess, including Jiang Li, who had deliberately stayed out. Even though she deliberately stayed out, sensing danger inside, standing by the edge of the toilet still got half her pants soaked.

As the gasps died down, a foul stench quickly followed. With dozens of people in the cesspit, it started to overflow.

"Gag~ Gag~ Gag~" The sound of retching continued.

Lin Qing and Cen Xi were desperately covering their noses and mouths, a price they paid for wanting to stay and watch the commotion!

Jiang Li was completely frozen in place. She had deliberately stayed out, sensing danger inside, but fate had not spared her!

Even though she didn't fall into the cesspit, the filth had still splashed all over her.

Not only were those on the shore grossed out, but those in the pit were even worse off.

They were completely drenched in sewage, and the retching sounds only grew louder.

"You little brat, pah, hurry up and pull me out, pah," Mother Gu cursed incessantly.

From a distance, Mother Jiang was thoroughly relishing the spectacle, "Heh, I sure am lucky. Look at Mother Gu, treasure? She didn't find any treasure, just a cesspit. Now she's had a taste of the cesspit."

She laughed uproariously, without a care.

Gu Hang, who had been standing quietly by the side, instantly darkened his face.

He hadn't moved earlier because he was worried about his reputation and didn't want to be seen as greedy. While the other two adults in his family had rushed in, he had stayed put.

Unfortunately, things didn't go his way. Mother Gu didn't find any treasure but ended up covered in it.

Mother Jiang had already forgotten her earlier antics, now basking in her triumph and starting to boast.

"Oh, you wouldn't believe it, I was about to go in too, but, who knew I had such a good son?

He knew better and stopped me just in time, saving me from this disaster. He's not like someone else..." Mother Jiang said meaningfully.

Her voice was loud and shrill, making it impossible for Gu Hang not to hear.

Gu Hang clenched his fists but remained silent, standing there quietly.

"Hey! Mother Gu has fallen into the cesspit, why are you so calm? Hurry up and help pull her out! Or do you expect us outsiders to help?" Mother Jiang deliberately shouted.

Gu Hang was so furious he was breathing heavily, his neck turning red with anger. However, the area was dimly lit, making it hard for others to see clearly.

Lin Qing couldn't help but stifle a laugh, "Pfft~ Is Mother Jiang doing this on purpose?"

"Can't you tell?"

"I can, but it's just a bit unbelievable." Lin Qing hadn't expected Mother Jiang to be so bold, confronting the situation head-on. Her mental strength was indeed impressive!

Gu Hang was now even more at a loss, suddenly feeling a headache. What should he do? Gu Hang's temple twitched. Jiang Yang, who had been watching him, suddenly felt like laughing, his previously tense mood now much lighter.

Oh! The enemies are no good, but they’re in high spirits!

"Hahaha! Mother Gu, look at your son! The boy you raised all these years won’t even step up to help you now! Hahaha!" Mother Jiang directly raised her voice, shouting towards the cesspit.

Lin Qing covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. Mother Jiang's roar was unabashed, directly entering Mother Gu's ears.

Mother Jiang is something else. In such a foul-smelling scene, who isn't covering their mouths tightly?

Only she doesn’t seem to mind the stench and still has the energy to shout and yell.

Wow, she’s something else!

Jiang Yang’s eyes sparkled with mischief. Hahaha! His mom nailed it!

Now he’s wondering how Gu Hang can keep up the act.

Will he tough it out and step up to help, or pretend he didn’t hear and just stand there?

Too bad Mother Gu doesn’t follow the rules either.

"Bah! Mother Jiang, what’s it to you? So what if my son doesn’t come?" Unexpectedly, she changed her tone in the next sentence, "Jiang Li, you little brat, what are you dawdling for? You want your man to lose face?"

Jiang Li’s face went pale. She didn’t want to pull Mother Gu up, and she didn’t want Gu Hang to do it either.

"Hurry up! What are you just standing there for?" Mother Gu clearly treats her son like gold and her daughter-in-law like dirt!

Indeed, in Mother Gu’s mind, the daughter-in-law was brought into the family to serve everyone. Naturally, all the dirty, hard work falls on her!

Jiang Li looked back at Gu Hang. Seeing this, Mother Gu's voice rang out again, "Why are you looking at your man? Expecting him to help you? What planet are you living on? As women, we’re supposed to handle the dirty work. How can we let men do it?"

In Mother Gu’s eyes, women are no better than livestock.

Hearing this harsh scolding, Lin Qing couldn’t help but frown. Mother Gu is just unbelievable.

Lin Qing shot Cen Xi a warning look: If you dare copy her, you’ll regret it!

Cen Xi shook his head nervously. What? Watching the drama could get him in trouble?

"Hmph!" Lin Qing muttered under her breath.

Jiang Li was rattled by Mother Gu’s yelling, but Gu Hang was too grossed out to step up and help.

No matter how upset Jiang Li was, she still had to pull Mother Gu out.

As Mother Gu came out, others who had fallen into the cesspit also found people to rescue them.

The onlookers, including Lin Qing, quietly stepped back a few steps to make room for the people who’d fallen in.

Finally, everyone was out except Wang Gousheng, who was still in there, determined to keep looking.

He thought, if it’s not on the wall or under the beam, maybe it fell into the pit?

Yes, it must be, it must be.

So Wang Gousheng swam in the cesspit, digging and digging, showing no sign of giving up, completely unfazed by the filthy environment.

"Another tough cookie!" Lin Qing’s eyebrow twitched. Luckily, she didn’t care about that bundle. They were just bystanders—what did it have to do with them?

"Ugh~"

"Ugh~"
