Chapter 124: Underwear
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi’s superiority made other women momentarily forget their jealousy and even harbor a liking for her.
The women found her words reasonable. If that was the case, Aunt Fang was the one stirring up trouble and causing chaos.
Everyone was from the same village, and deep down, they knew Aunt Fang’s true character.
When they compared Aunt Fang’s image to Gu Zits, there was no need to debate whose words were more credible.
“That’s right! Tian Hai shouldn’t have done that! It’s improper.”
“Aunt Fang, your old habit is acting up again. You’re talking nonsense again.”
“It’s totally unrealistic. Luckily, Little Su’s wife is patient enough to explain to us crude folks.”
Aunt Fang didn’t expect this woman to turn the tables with just a few words. Seeing everyone change sides, she trembled with anger.
She said to Gu Zi, “Are you too self-absorbed that men have thoughts about you? Tian Hai is Su Jing’s boyfriend. He probably hasn’t thought of such things!”
Some women found Aunt Fang’s words reasonable. Though Gu Zi was beautiful, she shouldn’t be so defensive against men.
It seemed as if Gu Zi believed she was as beautiful as a celestial being and that all men harbored impure thoughts towards her?
“Little Su’s wife is still an unmarried girl and shy. But Tian Hai is already family. You’re overthinking it.”
“That’s right, we’re all family. There’s no need to be overly cautious. We shouldn’t even set dogs on people.”
“This makes it difficult for your man. Look, now you’ve injured Tian Hai. This creates so much trouble!”
Suddenly, it was Gu Zi at fault again. Some felt she had complicated matters.
Gu Zi felt a bit speechless inwardly. However, she wasn’t afraid of this small situation. She looked at Aunt Fang and spoke with a suggestive tone.
“I wouldn’t be so sensitive towards others, but Tian Hai’s different. I don’t like
him, but it has nothing to do with Su Jing. Aunt Fang, you should be well aware of what kind of things Tian Hai says to women!”
Aunt Fang was momentarily speechless at this remark. “What do you mean?”
“I just wanted to return an item to you since everyone is here today.” Gu Zi took out a piece of red cloth with something wrapped inside, but she didn’t open it in front of everyone.
Gu Zi didn’t want to touch the contents, so she directly handed it to Aunt Fang. However, Aunt Fang didn’t take it, unable to recall what she had recently lost.
Aunt Fang, with a cold face, warily said, “Aren’t you going to see what it is? Don’t think about harming me!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zi decided to open the red cloth. From it, she pulled out a peach blossom-patterned underwear with white stains.
She didn’t want to hold onto it directly, so it was wrapped in red cloth. Suddenly, a strong fishy smell permeated the air.
The experienced women recognized the clumped and granular marks on it as dried semen.
When semen dries like this, it indicates that the man might be in poor health, possibly suffering from low sperm count.
Everyone knew Aunt Fang’s husband worked away from home all year. Why would there be semen on her underwear?
Things seemed even more intriguing now. The women discussed, astonished and excited.
Aunt Fang grabbed the red cloth and wrapped it up.
The women in the village followed the custom and would embroider their names on their undergarments. She had no reason to say that it was not hers.
With an unchanging face, Aunt Fang said, “I must have accidentally lost it, surely taken by some man.”
Gu Zi coughed lightly, saying, “This item was given to me by someone who found it. They saw Tian Hai sneakily leaving from under the peach tree and dropping this item, seeing your name embroidered on it, they asked me to return it to Tian Hai.”
How could Aunt Fang’s underwear end up in Tian Hai’s hands? Him stealing it and then losing it doesn’t make sense.
But if Aunt Fang voluntarily gave it to a man, that would make sense. The crowd looked at Aunt Fang with contemptuous eyes.
What relationship could there be between a woman who gave a man her underwear? Only lovers or spouses would have that kind of relationship.
But what kind of relationship was there between Aunt Fang and Tian Hai? Clearly, they were more than just friends!
All at once, everyone comprehended why Aunt Fang persistently stood up for Tian Hai, claiming Gu Zi barred him from entering her house.
Yet, Aunt Fang was resolute in her denial. “Gu Zi, you’re attempting to set me up! You probably had someone steal my belongings, then ask some dirty guy to soil them!”
With just one witness, regardless of who saw it, there was no way to confirm if Tian Hai was the one who discarded the underwear..
