Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Wen couldn’t shake off the memory of the last time Xu Xiaoxiao had been swimming in the river; a surge of jealousy seemed to engulf her.

“That won’t do either. You have to call me when you swim in the river in the future. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, I’ll listen to my wife.”

With her husband settled, Su Wen rolled up her sleeves and gestured at the onlookers, proudly showcasing her assertiveness. “Go, go. I’ll make it clear today. If anyone dares to peek at my man bathing in the future, I’ll be blunt with her.”

A young girl, embarrassed, left dejectedly, while the older ones, less sensitive to embarrassment, retorted, “Little Wen, look at what you’re saying. It’s too unpleasant. Which family doesn’t have a man? Why would we want to peek at your man?”

Su Wen tilted her head, smiling faintly, “You have a man at home, yet you went to peek at someone else’s. That’s what’s so despicable!”

“You… What do you mean? I didn’t.”

“Then why do you argue with me if you don’t?” Su Wen asked bluntly.

“I still have work to do!”

The riverbank soon emptied. After everyone had walked far away, they couldn’t resist turning back for a last look. What a pity!

They couldn’t see him swimming anymore!

Everyone in the village knew that Zhou Hengyang enjoyed swimming. He was skilled at it and possessed good physical strength. However, spotting him swimming was rare because Zhou Hengyang was seldom in the village, usually going at dawn or very late.

At this moment, the riverbank was deserted!

People were secretly delighted they came at this time today, eager to feast their eyes!

Those without laundry to wash hid by the riverbank, ready to admire the spectacle. Although they couldn’t see clearly from afar, the Su family’s son-in-law’s swimming movements were truly a delight.

Now that Su Wen had exposed them, they couldn’t pretend to be busy washing clothes anymore.

Besides, who would wash clothes in the afternoon? They should wash them in the morning, with clothes hung on the line to dry.

Seeing men bathing in the river was normal in the village, especially during the summer. Could everyone stop washing clothes just because a man was bathing in the river?

They were merely curious and appreciative. What harm was there in peeking with a flushed face?

Su Wen was being overly possessive.

No one had ever brought it up before, and Su Wen was the first to do so.

Only Zhou Hengyang remained unfazed, his mental fortitude unshaken. He gathered their clothes and placed them on a large rock by the riverbank to wash.

His strength seemed almost vengeful against the clothes.

“Be gentle. You’re using so much force that my clothes are going to be ruined,” Su Wen’s heart ached as she observed. “I just bought these clothes. They’re very expensive.”

“If they are ruined, we’ll get new ones.”

“I’ll do it myself. You go swimming. I can manage.”

“No!” Zhou Hengyang insisted, forcing Su Wen to sit on the side and watch.

“You’re not feeling well. You can’t touch cold water. I’ll wash them.”

“What about the future? I can’t always let others wash them.” Su Wen had grown accustomed to it. Although she could let her sister handle the task, Su Xiu and Su Qing did most of the housework at home. She felt embarrassed; she couldn’t have her sister wash her clothes too.

Although her younger sister would secretly assist with washing, Su Wen believed she could still salvage the situation..
