Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Want to Change a Daughter-in-Law
Wu Yuanchun was becoming increasingly irritable.
Meng Jingfen had run out of patience and soothing words; she decided to settle the matter quickly.
She mimicked the fighting moves Fu Hongfang usually used, stretching out a leg and hooking Yuanchun's foot firmly.
Though Yuanchun was tall and not easily toppled,
unfortunately, he was on the verge of a breakdown, distracted by trying to untangle Jingfen's hands clenched around his waist. Caught off-guard, he spectacularly fell to the ground.
Jingfen fell with him.
Using the momentum, she quickly pinned him down and began to strip off her clothes.
As the saying goes, "When a woman chases a man, only a thin veil separates them." Without the veil, victory was certain.
Wu Yuanchun hadn't expected Meng Jingfen to be so shameless and cursed violently in his heart, shouting "Get lost!" Although Jingfen was no longer holding him, he could leverage his strength now and pushed the embarrassing sight of Jingfen off of him.
It was at this moment that a few flashlight beams suddenly focused on them, followed by a series of exclamations.
"Ah ah ah…"
"Yikes! What shameless people."
"Who is that?"
"Looks like the man is Wu Yuanchun; I can't see who the woman is clearly."
"Truly shameless."
…
Had it been adults witnessing this spicy scene, they would have surely approached for a closer look. However, being mere teenagers, they felt a bit embarrassed and merely hurled curses and jokes from a distance.
Even the shameless Meng Jingfen panicked at this point.
She hurriedly slipped back into her dress, still disheveled as she ran out of the woods.
In her past life as well as the present, the scene of Meng Jingfen and Wu Yuanchun secretly meeting in the grove of Xiaoliu Village had remained exactly the same.
The difference lay in that, in her past life, Jingfen had managed to escape successfully after putting on her pink dress, and the teenagers, unable to see her face, identified her by her unique pink dress of Xiaoliu Village.
When the youths stumbled upon such a scandalous incident, losing any interest in bird hunting, they reported it to their families. The elders immediately cursed Yuanchun and Jingfen at their doorstep, accusing them of corrupting morals and tainting the children's eyes and hearts.
They also mentioned that if the children were led astray because of this, they would never forgive them.
Thus, the incident stirred up chaos throughout the village.
Because the youths claimed they couldn't see Meng Jingfen's face, and only guessed it was her from the pink dress, this provided Meng Jingfen with the condition favorable for shifting the blame to Meng Chuyue.
But in this life, due to Chuyue's clever maneuvers, everything had changed.
The variable was… Zhao Aihua.
Aihua had actually arrived at the small grove behind Xiaoliu Village quite early, waiting to catch Jingfen in a secret rendezvous.
The letter he received had stated exactly that: "Meng Jingfen will meet someone in the grove behind Xiaoliu Village tonight, as she often does."
Had it not been for meeting Chuyue earlier today, Aihua would have been furious after reading the letter, unbearable for any man.
But because of Chuyue, he was not only unangry but actually delighted.
He and Meng Jingfen were betrothed by their grandfathers, both gamblers, over a game of cards.
The engagement had been set for over a decade.
Initially, he had been quite pleased with Jingfen, finding her chubby and cute.
But as time passed, Jingfen grew uglier, and his family grew wealthier, making him increasingly dissatisfied with the match.
However, having grown unattractive himself and with a formidable grandfather, he dared not break off the engagement.
Now, he saw a perfect opportunity to exchange his betrothed for a beautiful, hard-working, and gentle wife.
If he could expose Meng Jingfen's disgraceful act, not only could he legitimately reject Jingfen, but he could also compel the Meng Family to "compensate" him with the pretty and compliant Meng Chuyue.
With this clever plan in mind, he had hidden quietly in the grove early on.
