A Good Country Wife

As she heard these words, Lin Yue immediately saw through Chunxi’s intentions. It seemed that this woman thought she wasn’t home, and thus chose tonight to make her move, trying to seduce her husband. However, unluckily for her, Lin Yue was in fact at home, inconveniently in the way of someone’s plans.

Lin Yue glanced again at Zhao Erhu, who looked concerned and seemed eager to drive Chunxi away. It seemed her husband was quite the catch after all. Upon closer examination, he was indeed quite handsome; among the men within a radius of several villages, he would be considered good-looking. With his clear and bright eyes and a height of around 1.8 meters, his physique was top-notch. Being a hunter, he also knew some Martial Arts. In every aspect, he was more than decent. Now, with his business dealings outside, he had even developed a man’s confidence and decisiveness. No wonder there was a never-ending stream of women eyeing him up, each one of them shameless, brazen enough to show up at her door.

That Wei Fangcao woman merely intercepted him on the road, but Chunxi was getting bolder, daring to come to her house in the dead of night, interrupting her sweet dreams. Truly annoying. How had she never noticed how shameless this woman was before?

Zhao Erhu was thinking about what his sister-in-law had said, that during a woman’s special days, she should avoid the cold, not even touching cold water or eating anything chilly. The night air was chilly, and of course, one shouldn’t stand outside for long. That’s why he was even less patient with Chunxi.

"Wife, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Don’t stay outside like this. Better head back to the room earlier, I’ll be right back," he said.

"Yeah, Yueyue, you should go back to the room first. I have something I need Brother Erhu’s help with," Chunxi said, trying to hide her jealousy as she saw Zhao Erhu’s caring demeanor towards Lin Yue. She smiled outwardly, wishing Lin Yue would go inside soon and not stand between her and Zhao Erhu.

Nobody knew exactly when it started, but Chunxi also began to call Zhao Erhu "Brother Erhu" just like Lin Yue did, whereas she used to call him Big Brother Zhao. Perhaps it began when Chunxi started having different feelings for Zhao Erhu.

Before, Chunxi hadn’t thought much of Zhao Erhu as a man. Aside from being fairly good-looking, he had no other advantages. Not only did he have a bad reputation, but as a man burdened with several children and a poor household, he was somewhat looked down upon,

Only after she became acquainted with Lin Yue, frequently visiting Zhao Erhu’s house, did she gradually see the care and attention Zhao Erhu gave to Lin Yue. It was impressive how a man could be so considerate towards his wife, thinking of everything on behalf of Lin Yue. When her own husband was home, she was the one attending to him; he never treated her with such kindness. As jealous as Chunxi was of Lin Yue, a crazed desire to snatch everything of Lin Yue’s for herself emerged. Initially, Chunxi felt guilty and uneasy about such desires, especially since Lin Yue was like a benefactor to her.
