Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Search
Some say that the simplest way to conquer a woman is to make her submit to oneself, and now Liu Zheng had indeed accomplished that.
Moreover, he had taken very good care of her, so did Zhang Cuihua know which option was more worthwhile? Even without the 5000 yuan that her father-in-law had given, her husband could still provide money for her. It was just that he had been spending it too quickly recently.
That’s why she cared so much about money.
But compared to the "performance" of Liu Zheng, that 5000 yuan was nothing. Liu Zheng now seemed like an indefatigable Romeo. He had only taken two turns, yet he had already performed so splendidly. If he really got a chance, he would surely make her ecstatic.
But at this moment, Zhang Cuihua also began to pretend with her father-in-law.
"It’s nothing, I just had a stomachache just now, so I ran over to find Liu Zheng. I heard he’s from the city and has studied Chinese medicinal massage, very good at it, so I came over, hoping he could treat me. I didn’t expect him to be so capable, the massage really was good, my tummy doesn’t hurt anymore."
After hearing this, Liu Baishun’s expression immediately changed because he knew this was not a valid reason for Zhang Cuihua to say so, she was completely lying. Because before the two of them had come over, they had colluded on the story that she had a stomachache and then came to find Liu Zheng.
But he hadn’t expected that Zhang Cuihua would actually come up with such an embarrassing excuse.
"Zhang Cuihua, you’re part of our Liu Family, don’t go favoring outsiders over your own family."
Liu Baishun’s face was taut at the moment.
He had already begun to hint to Zhang Cuihua.
But Zhang Cuihua simply didn’t fall for his tactics, insisting it was a stomachache.
Right then, she suddenly groaned, holding her stomach, "Ouch, it feels like the pain is back."
"You, Zhang Cuihua, behave yourself," Liu Baishun whispered to her.
But Zhang Cuihua was not to be cowed by him. Perhaps it was because of the intensity just now, or maybe Liu Zheng’s "Golden Cudgel" was too much, but she did indeed feel some pain in her lower abdomen, yet she was actually enjoying it.
At that moment, Liu Zheng came over and said, "Don’t move, let me take your pulse."
Liu Zheng walked over to Zhang Cuihua’s side, then placed his fingers on her pulse.
Stroking his chin, Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, that’s right, you have a case of cold stagnation. It’s simple, the massage I gave earlier has already transferred energy into your stomach. Now all you need is to take some medicine, and you’ll be fine."
"What? I need to take medicine?"
Zhang Cuihua was suddenly stunned because she didn’t believe there was an issue at all, but now Liu Zheng was suggesting she take medicine, leaving her very puzzled.
It was completely different from what she thought before. She hadn’t expected to be perceived as having an ailment, yet here Liu Zheng might actually be aiming to profit from her.
"Liu Zheng, I shouldn’t have any problems, right? I just get occasional pain, it happens once every month."
After saying this, everyone’s face turned red in an instant, because what she was implying was that she was on her period.
A very simple symptom of menstrual pain.
But she said this also to ward off her father-in-law’s suspicions.
At this point, Liu Baishun also found himself unable to save face.
He shook his head from side to side, feeling that his daughter-in-law had really brought shame upon him.
Describing her period in front of so many people was truly embarrassing for him.
In the city, this might not have been such a big deal, but this was the countryside, where people’s thinking was relatively more conservative, so when she brazenly spoke such outrageous words.
Almost everyone began to avoid the topic, choosing not to continue the conversation.
At that moment, Liu Baishun quickly said to Zhang Cuihua, "Get up, let’s go. Do you want to embarrass yourself even more?"
"No, Dad, I haven’t been cured yet. Isn’t Liu Zheng going to prescribe some medicine for me?"
Liu Zheng, saying this, made Zhang Cuihua terribly anxious.
With Liu Zheng’s serious expression, Zhang Cuihua really started to worry since after all, he had been intimate with his father-in-law.
She felt some pain in her abdomen and worried that she might be pregnant, and if Liu Zheng caused a miscarriage, that would be terrible.
Liu Zheng quickly reassured Zhang Cuihua with a smile, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. The massages you did were just external measures. The internal treatment still requires medication, but this medicine won’t have any side effects on you. It’s just to regulate your body, so there’s no need to worry."
Only then did Zhang Cuihua feel relieved; she let out a long sigh and said, "You scared me, I thought something was actually wrong."
However, Liu Baishun suddenly had a realization; he thought if they had really been intimate in the clinic, the noise would have been quite loud.
So, Liu Baishun concluded that their battlefield must have been in the bedroom. He turned and was about to rush there, but Liu Zheng blocked his way.
Standing in front of him, Liu Zheng raised his face and asked, "Where are you going, Uncle Liu?"
"Where am I going? I’m going to catch the cheaters, of course."
"Oh! You’d better be responsible for what you say, Uncle Liu. What cheaters? There’s no woman hidden inside. I’m still single; where could I possibly conjure up a woman from? Do you want to set me up with someone?"
Liu Zheng started to joke with Liu Baishun, but Liu Baishun was persistent, craning his neck and standing on his toes to peer inside.
Liu Zheng then placed his hand in front of Liu Baishun’s eyes, constantly shaking it and saying, "Hey hey hey, stop looking inside. That’s my bedroom. If you insist on looking, that’s fine, but we need to make a bet."
"Make a bet? Who’s going to bet with you? I’m going to see what you’re hiding today, something not fit for public view."
"Ah, Uncle Liu, why do you always suspect me of cavorting with different women every day? I am a law-abiding good villager, after all. You insist there’s something hidden inside? I won’t be pleased if you don’t clear my name."
"I don’t care about your innocence."
At that moment, Liu Baishun moved his arm, and suddenly, ten people followed him.
"Liu Zheng, you definitely have secrets here that you can’t let others see. We need to inspect," they declared.
"You want to conduct an inspection? What’s this about? Are you the law enforcement team? You want to inspect? Do you have the proper legal procedures? If not, that’s illegal entry. Be careful, or I’ll call the police station."
"Ha, call the police station? Go ahead and call. We’re not afraid of you, Liu Zheng. Don’t think your Liu family is the most prominent family in our village. You should know that we are the ones with real power in the village. And of course, the village chief has every right to search your house. If there’s anything in your house that’s detrimental to our village, we can take you straight to the police station," they retorted.
