Not a single person dared to say another word. They just looked at each other. Then, as if by some unspoken agreement, the crowd began to back away, about to leave.

Seeing the group about to depart, Feng Chunling stepped forward. How could I possibly let them off so easily? Am I supposed to just swallow my grievances for nothing?

She shouted at the retreating figures, "What's this? You think you can just come and go as you please, like this is your own home? You've done something wrong, and this is your attitude? Do you even know how to apologize? If not, I don't mind teaching you!"

At Feng Chunling's outburst, no one dared to hesitate. They all hurriedly began to apologize.

"Sorry, Er Gou, we didn't mean it! We were just misled by Wu Dahu!"

"Yes, yes, please forgive us! We'll never do it again!"

"Er Gou, we were blind. We know we were wrong. We're sorry!"

Hearing their apologies, Feng Chunling finally nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, signaling that they could leave. Seeing her gesture, no one hesitated any longer. They quickly fled the wasteland, and in the blink of an eye, the large crowd had completely dispersed.

Watching them go, Feng Chunling couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. I was just worrying about not having a chance to show off in front of Liu Ergou, and this perfect opportunity fell right into my lap. I'll have to make sure I get proper credit for this later! A surge of happiness washed over her at the thought.

Then, wiping the smile from her face, Feng Chunling quickly returned to Liu Ergou's side. "Er Gou, it's alright now. I chased them all away. They aren't stupid. Once they get back and think it over, they'll figure out what really happened. I just don't know how that kid Wu Dahu got into the village committee office. There's usually someone on guard there!"

However, Liu Ergou said nothing, continuing to stare at Feng Chunling in astonishment until she grew embarrassed under his gaze.

Only then did Liu Ergou speak. "Auntie, I never realized just how capable you are! How did I never notice before? I was still wondering how to explain everything, and you solved the whole mess in no time flat! That's really impressive!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou gave Feng Chunling a big thumbs-up.

Listening to his praise, Feng Chunling swelled with pride, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. "Oh, it was nothing! I was just telling the truth. Those people are just too stupid. They were so easily misled by Wu Dahu because they don't use their heads! If they were only willing to think for themselves…"

Feng Chunling had barely finished her sentence when Liu Ergou suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his embrace.

Looking at the woman in his arms, he smiled. "Auntie, you helped me out so much today. I feel like I need to reward you properly! I'm a man who believes in giving credit where it's due. Good deeds must be rewarded!"

Saying this, his other hand expertly slipped inside her clothes.

Feng Chunling couldn't help but let out a soft whimper. Blushing, she glanced around nervously. "Er Gou, you can't do this here! If someone sees us, we'll be done for! Hurry and let me go! Wait until we get home! Then you can do whatever you want!"

However, Liu Ergou completely ignored her, lowering his head to silence her with his own. The two remained entangled for some time before finally, reluctantly, parting.

By now, Feng Chunling's face was flushed crimson, a clear sign that she was aroused.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou let out a sly laugh. He leaned in close to her ear and gently blew a warm breath. "Auntie, you look really beautiful like this! Since there's nothing else going on today, I'll just give you a day off. It's the perfect chance for us to go back and have a good 'talk'!"

Feng Chunling didn't quite catch everything he said, only hearing the part about going back to 'talk.' She nodded hazily in agreement.

Seeing that she had agreed, Liu Ergou wasted no time. He scooped her up in a princess carry and started walking toward his home.

But after taking just a few steps, his joyful expression suddenly turned serious, and he quickly set Feng Chunling back on the ground.

The abrupt change made Feng Chunling shiver, and she instantly sobered up. What is he doing? Why did he suddenly put me down?

While she was still perplexed, Liu Ergou had already taken off her shoe and, placing her foot in his hands, began to feign a massage. His behavior only added to her confusion.

But before she could say anything, a figure in the distance started running quickly toward them, arriving in front of Liu Ergou a few moments later.

Liu Ergou feigned surprise as he looked up at the newcomer. "Yun Xi, what are you doing here all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"

Seeing him, Liu Yunxi said anxiously, "Er Gou, how can you still be fooling around here! You should pack up and leave quickly. Wu Dahu was just spreading rumors about you on the village loudspeaker! If I'm not mistaken, a lot of people are heading this way right now. If you don't leave..."

Liu Yunxi hadn't finished speaking when Liu Ergou interrupted her. "Oh, Yun Xi, it's fine, it's fine! Those people already came and went. It's all over now."

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Yunxi's face. "Huh? They've already left? What happened?"

Seeing her astonished expression, Liu Ergou jerked his chin toward Feng Chunling. "They came to settle accounts with me, but Auntie Chun Ling stepped in and spoke up for me. After hearing what she said, the crowd realized Wu Dahu had tricked them, and they all left. Unfortunately, Auntie Chun Ling lost her footing and sprained her ankle. See? I'm just giving it a massage for her now."

Saying this, Liu Ergou pressed forcefully on Feng Chunling's ankle.

At his touch, Feng Chunling finally understood the situation and cried out, her face twisting in a pained expression.
