The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 148 Stealing food

He leered at Wu Hong with his eyes wide open and couldn't help but swallow hard.

It seems he hasn't been to town for fun in a long time; he's been short on money lately and has been neglecting himself.

Wu Hong playfully withdrew her hand, glanced out the window to make sure no one was there, and then scolded, "It's all your fault! I missed you a little..."

After saying that, she turned her back, covered her face, and pretended to be shy.

Everything changed after she ran away from home to be lazy and met Lai Zi. She felt that her face had become much smoother and more delicate during this time.

Unlike when she was with Wen Zhuzi, she wouldn't react at all, no matter how much she tried to strike a pose.

Every time she came to this scoundrel's place, there was meat to eat, and she always ate her fill. This guy would also give her a few coins every now and then, which made her extremely happy.

That useless Wen Zhuzi is already being kind by not asking her for money.

The leper's eyes darted around, and he bared his big yellow teeth, breathing on her ear, which made Wu Hong shrink back.

Then, in a playful mood, he reached down her neck and they made love again.

"Sigh, I'm broke, could you give me some money?"

Afterwards, Wu Hong lay on Lai Zi's chest, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers, her voice strained as she tried to make a seductive sound.

Lai Zi grabbed her hand, kissed it hard, and then coaxed her in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, your brother doesn't have any money on him right now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hong's face changed and her voice rose several decibels, "What?! So I slept with you for free?!"

Realizing that her voice seemed a bit too loud, she quickly covered her mouth and looked out the window in a panic.

Lai Zi was displeased when he heard this. He had only insulted her once and just wanted to have some fun, but he didn't really mean it. He didn't expect this woman to come crawling to him like that.

What do you mean by "sleeping for free"? Every time he comes over, he manages to finish all the meat he cut off and the dishes he bought to go with his drinks! He doesn't even get a chance to have a proper meal himself!

When there's no meat, you don't get close to him and you have to spend a few copper coins to coax him. Does he really think that the money of this scoundrel is something he found on the street?

However, Wen Zhuzi's wife is really good. Perhaps because she is too lazy to do housework, her hands are not rough and are much more energetic than others.

Then he thought for a moment and continued to coax her, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. How could I possibly mistreat you?"

As he spoke, he pinched her waist, which made Wu Hong push him away.

He grinned mischievously and pulled her forcefully into his arms, saying, "Little brother hasn't finished speaking yet, sister-in-law, don't be angry!"

"My brother lent me the money. I'll pay it back in a couple of days and give it all to my sister-in-law, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hong stopped struggling, turned her head, and looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt. "Really?"

The leper hurriedly held up three fingers to the sky, saying, "If I'm lying to my sister-in-law, may I be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible fate..."

Wu Hong quickly covered his mouth, looking reproachful, "I believe you! But don't say such unlucky things!"

"I want to eat that plate of meat in your cupboard." After cuddling for a while, Wu Hong insisted on eating meat, so Lai Zi had no choice but to take out the roast duck that was left over from yesterday.

This is the wheel he bought in town yesterday after waiting in line for a long time, but Wen Zizhou absolutely refused to give him a discount!

They're all so rich, why not give them a discount? We're all from the same village! It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to give it to him for free!

He couldn't bear to finish it because it was so delicious; he was even thinking of saving some to have with his drinks tonight!

As a result, the cabinet door wasn't closed properly and this woman saw it!

He watched with displeasure as Wu Hong sat happily on the stool, a piece of roast duck in her left hand and a duck carcass in her right, but he couldn't say anything.

Wu Hong didn't think too much about it. She just felt that the meat in her hand smelled delicious. Although it was a little sour and she didn't know why, it didn't affect the taste at all!

After finishing her meal, she reluctantly licked her fingers and pointed at Lai Zi, saying, "Buy more next time, I didn't get enough."

"Alright, alright! I'll buy more as my brother-in-law wishes," Lai Zi replied with a smile, though he was extremely dissatisfied.

What I was prepared to eat for a whole day, you finished in one go! And you think you can eat your fill next time? Dream on!

He coaxed the person away and lay on the bed, worrying himself sick about the money.

He's sold all the land and run out of money. He doesn't know what to sell next. He can't just go without wine and meat, can he?

As Wu Hong walked down the street, she couldn't help but lick her lips. Meat is just so delicious!

So what if someone steals? As long as no one sees it, it's fine. She can still eat meat and spend money. From this perspective, she's not at a loss at all!

She didn't believe that Lai Zi could reveal the truth; she knew men very well!

They're so careful when they're together, no one could possibly notice.

Thinking this, she walked briskly home, while Sun Sanjie, hiding in the tall weeds, covered her mouth tightly.

She only wanted to catch some grasshoppers to feed the chicks she had just bought, when she saw Wu Hong come out of the leper's house and straighten her clothes.

Who in the village doesn't know who Lai Zi is? As for Wu Hong and Wen Zhuzi, everyone knows they can't have children; it's been going on for a long time.

What else could the two of them do together? Although she was young, she gradually understood what the aunties and grandmas in the village were saying.

After everyone had walked away, she hunched over and slowly retreated from the wasteland. Only when she was a little away from Lai Zi's house did she run as fast as she could into the house.

Old Sun was building the chicken coop when he saw her rush in. He was afraid she would fall and wanted to scold her, but when he saw her pale lips, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Third Sister? Are you feeling unwell? Tell Grandpa quickly!"

Sun Sanjie shook her head, looking at her grandfather with a conflicted expression. Should she tell him or not?

"What happened when you went out, kid? What happened?" he asked hurriedly.

Sun Sanjie scratched her head, steeled herself, and told Old Sun what she had just seen, like spilling beans. He was so frightened that he quickly pulled his granddaughter into the house.

"You're going to keep this to yourself! You won't see anything today, understand?!"

Old Sun explained several times, "Who is Lai Zi?"

If he finds out that his granddaughter stumbled upon his affair with Wu Hong, he definitely won't let Third Sister off the hook! By then, it will be too late to say anything!

Sun Sanjie knew the harm involved and nodded obediently; she hadn't seen anything today.

When Wu Hong arrived at her doorstep, she first peeked out into the yard a few times. Only when she didn't see Old Zhou, who usually stood at the threshold with a carrying pole, did she feel relieved enough to step inside.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to again?! Zhu Zi's legs hurt, aren't you going to go and massage them for him?!"

Old Zhou came out of the kitchen at some point and yelled at Wu Hong when she saw her sneaking around.

A few days ago, her youngest son fell down, and his leg would hurt from time to time, which broke her heart.

My youngest son is still rolling around in pain in bed right now, while this lazybones is wandering around aimlessly all day long!

If she could get some money from her parents' home, she could turn a blind eye! But she didn't get a single penny and all she knew was how to cheat and sly!

It's outrageous that they even let this old woman cook!

If it were a few years earlier, she would have definitely made this kind of daughter-in-law completely obedient!
