Chapter 256: To the Cornfield
Looking at the puzzled expression on Liu Ergou's face, Lu Shuangyue's cheeks reddened before she said, "What's there to be surprised about! I already told you, I gave you my house keys. If you want, you can just move into my place!
"A word spoken is like water spilled; I can't go back on it!"
Before Liu Ergou could fully grasp what she was saying, Lu Shuangyue pushed him out the door and immediately locked her office, leaving him with no way to even ask questions.
Staring at the keys in his hand, Liu Ergou scratched his head and smiled wryly before tucking them into his pocket. He then called Feng Chunling, confirmed her location, and prepared to meet up with her before heading back to the village.
「Meanwhile」
Outside, Master Liu was grinning from ear to ear. After rendering such a great service, I'm sure to receive a hefty reward. Young Master Yuan won't be stingy.
Just as Master Liu was about to leave, he turned his head and saw Wu Dahu, who had been following him the whole time. Upon seeing Wu Dahu, Master Liu pondered for a moment before pulling out his phone to make a call. Within minutes, Boss Zhao rushed over in his car.
"Master Liu, what can I do for you?"
Master Liu simply pointed at Wu Dahu. "That kid helped us out this time. From now on, you take him under your wing. Have him run errands and be your assistant. I think he's got potential."
Without giving Boss Zhao a chance to say anything else, Master Liu turned and left, leaving a bewildered Boss Zhao sitting alone in his car.
Wu Dahu, who had been following Master Liu, was overjoyed when he heard this. Indeed, following him was the right decision! Look, here's my chance! And from the looks of it, this Master Liu is quite influential. If I stick with him, I'm sure to gain wealth and power. I won't have to worry about a thing! When I go back to the village, I'll command so much respect!
At that thought, Wu Dahu immediately scurried over to Boss Zhao and gave him a deep bow.
"Boss!"
The call snapped the dazed Boss Zhao out of his reverie. He looked at Wu Dahu, thought for a moment, and finally said, "You seem to have a keen eye, kid. Though I don't know what you did to earn Master Liu's favor, you can follow me and run errands from now on.
"As for your salary and benefits, I won't shortchange you.
"Get in the car!"
Wu Dahu nodded happily and quickly ran to the passenger side. Once he was in, the car started up and disappeared from the street.
While driving, Boss Zhao asked, "So, what did you do to make Master Liu speak up for you, kid?"
Wu Dahu immediately replied, "I just told Master Liu about that guy from our village, Liu Ergou."
The moment he heard the name, Boss Zhao understood completely.
"Ah, Liu Ergou. Now I get it," he said, then gave his instructions. "Alright, here's the plan. You head back to the village and keep an eye on him for me. The moment an opportunity arises, we'll move together and deal with him.
"We'll strike with such lightning speed that he won't even have a chance to react!"
Hearing this, Wu Dahu immediately nodded. This is an incredible stroke of luck!
After giving a few more instructions, Boss Zhao started making small talk with Wu Dahu.
「At this time」
Liu Ergou had already met up with Feng Chunling, and the two were on the bus heading back to the village. Throughout the ride, Feng Chunling was on her best behavior, not daring to try anything. The slightest improper movement could be seen by a bus full of people, and she still cared about her reputation.
When they reached the village entrance, Liu Ergou and Feng Chunling got off the bus. He was ready to head straight home. I can't be bothered with her anymore.
However, just as Liu Ergou began to walk away, Feng Chunling suddenly grabbed him, making him look at her in confusion.
"Auntie, what is it? Is there something else?"
Instead of answering, Feng Chunling glanced around, and only after making sure no one was nearby did a seductive smile appear on her face.
"Er Gou, once we're back in the village, it'll be hard for us to be alone together again.
"How about this… look over there!"
Liu Ergou followed her pointed finger and saw a vast cornfield. He instantly understood what she meant. This woman wants to sneak into the cornfield with me!
Although he understood her intentions, he didn't agree right away. He carefully scanned the area, and only after confirming they were completely alone did he chuckle and respond, "Auntie, you must have been starving all these years!
"Since you've offered, it would be pretentious of me to refuse.
"I was just wondering what to do when we got back, and to my surprise, you came to me. In that case, I won't hold back!"
Hearing him agree, Feng Chunling nodded and reached out to pull him toward the cornfield, but Liu Ergou dodged her hand. This left her utterly confused. He clearly agreed, so why is he refusing me now?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Liu Ergou explained, "Auntie, we have to be careful.
"We ran into Wu Dahu in town, and it's even more likely we'll be seen here in the village. This isn't the town!
"If we get caught, the consequences would be more than either of us could bear.
"So don't touch me. Just go into the cornfield by yourself. I'll follow in a bit."
After hearing his explanation, it dawned on Feng Chunling. Without any hesitation, she turned and walked toward the cornfield.
As for Liu Ergou, he wandered around the village for a good ten minutes, and only after making absolutely sure no one was around did he finally head toward the cornfield as well.
Soon, the two met inside the rustling stalks.
The moment they were together, before Liu Ergou could even speak, Feng Chunling eagerly undid his belt and yanked it free.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou chuckled. It was clear she was truly famished.
He didn't hold back either, immediately lifting her skirt.
Following that, they both nodded in satisfaction.
