Red Crossing Chapter 15

Xiao Hu arranged for Yun Feng to stay in the room that Xiu Ying and Xiu Zhi had previously occupied. It was comfortable and undisturbed. Yun Feng spent her days cleaning the room, tending to the plants, and practicing martial arts in the courtyard, while Xiao Hu went about his other household duties. He would bring her meals and eat with her. Aside from being mute, Yun Feng was actually quite intelligent; she could often understand Xiao Hu with just a glance. While at Cinianzhai, she had already learned some characters from Abbot Jing Yun and her fellow disciples. There's a saying, "Nine out of ten deaf people are mute," meaning that most deaf people are also mute because they can't speak. Yun Feng was an exception; her hearing was fine, and she could understand what others said, but she couldn't speak herself. Although Xiao Hu had studied modern medicine, he couldn't be an expert on every disease. He guessed that Yun Feng's problem might be incomplete vocal cord development or a congenital deformity, preventing her from speaking normally. Of course, it could also be a problem with the part of the nervous system responsible for vocalization. In that era, medicine was not advanced enough and testing equipment was scarce, so the chances of curing her muteness were slim. In his later life, he worked as a substitute teacher at a private elementary school run by a charity for the poor, which had a class for the deaf and mute. The beautiful teacher who taught sign language to that class was herself deaf and mute. Xiao Hu often went to the class without pay to assist the beautiful teacher, and gradually learned sign language. Of course, he also managed to win over the beautiful teacher. Therefore, he was very familiar with the psychology and needs of deaf and mute people. Xiao Hu suddenly became very enthusiastic and taught Yun Feng simple sign language every night. He discovered that Yun Feng was truly intelligent; she was quick-witted, had an exceptional memory, and learned many things very quickly. If she hadn't been born mute and hadn't had the opportunity to study, she probably wouldn't be much less capable than Xiao Hu himself. In fact, sign language also has national boundaries, and communication between deaf and mute people from different countries using sign language is fraught with difficulties. The Chinese sign language that Xiao Hu taught Yun Feng wouldn't be officially standardized and adopted by the Ministry of Education for another ten years or so, so learning it now wouldn't be of much use. Xiao Hu was simply teaching her out of personal interest, perhaps secretly hoping that his junior apprentice, Yun Feng, would one day become the pioneer of Chinese sign language. Through these few days of interaction, Yun Feng discovered that her junior uncle was not only kind and approachable but also exceptionally intelligent, seemingly capable of anything. Their relationship quickly warmed from initial unfamiliarity, soon becoming as close as family. Ten days later, Xiao Hu felt he couldn't delay any longer; he needed to inquire about his brother-in-law, Old Dong's, matter. He informed Master Nan and then set off for the county town with Yun Feng. This time, he used the pretext of official business with Commander Yuan. Nan Dechang not only didn't stop him but urged Xiao Hu to hurry, lest he neglect his duties. He now hoped Xiao Hu's relationship with the Central Army would be as close as possible. He also told Xiao Hu that his daughter, Hui Ying, had sent someone home specifically to inquire about his whereabouts, saying she needed his help with an important business matter. He asked Xiao Hu to spend a few days helping her. Xiao Hu returned home to the county town. He first introduced Yunfeng to his mother, Wang Yumei, and his elder sister, Pang Juhua, saying that her name was Yunfeng, and that she was the mute disciple of Jingyun, the abbot of Cinianzhai, and his own niece. He asked his mother to serve Yunfeng a meal and let her rest, as he had an urgent matter to attend to. After leaving, he immediately went to the general store managed by his brother-in-law, Dong Yifu, to find out what had happened. At that moment, Dong Yifu was in the general store, looking worried and restless. The store was deserted, with few customers. Originally, besides him, there were three other employees, and business was good. Now, only one employee remained. As soon as Pang Xiaohu entered, Old Dong's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior. He welcomed Xiaohu into the inner room, and after closing the door, he knelt down with a thud and cried to Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, please save my life for the sake of me being your brother-in-law!" He then tried to kowtow to Xiaohu. Xiao Hu had always disliked Dong Yifu and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. However, Dong Yifu was, after all, a man about the same age as his father, Pang Dashan, and Xiao Hu couldn't bear to see him kneeling on the ground begging him. He reached out and pulled Dong Yifu up from the ground, saying, "Brother-in-law, get up quickly! What kind of behavior is this, kneeling like this! Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you if I can, for my sister's sake." His tone was like scolding a junior. To his surprise, Dong Yifu not only didn't mind, but was also secretly delighted, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He quickly invited Xiao Hu to sit down, made him a cup of hot tea, and then told him the whole story. Dong Yifu managed this general store for the Nan family. Besides his salary from the Nan family, he could earn some extra money. For example, he could slightly raise the selling price or lower the purchase price, thus making some extra profit. These were all minor matters; as long as the accounts were in order and nothing too outrageous, Manager Zhang and Uncle Nan wouldn't bother with him too much. After Dong Yifu took over the general store, he had much more money, which naturally made him happy. When he met neighbors and acquaintances, they all respectfully called him Manager Dong, which made him very proud. Gradually, Dong Yifu also made friends with some people who had a little spare money. In his spare time, he would drink and gamble with them, and occasionally he would go to brothels with them. He lived a very comfortable life. He often won money gambling with a friend named Ma Dapao. He was very concerned about his image, and usually, after winning, he would immediately treat his friends to drinks, which made him arrogant and conceited by his cronies. In fact, they all knew that Ma Dapao was not someone to be trifled with, but they didn't know Dong Yifu well enough to bother reminding him. Ma Dapao's father owned a gambling den. He deliberately lost money, letting Dong Yifu gain some small advantages and taste the sweetness of victory. Dong Yifu's gambling addiction grew increasingly severe. Finally, dissatisfied with the small-scale gambling among friends, he was led into a formal casino by Ma Dapao. The result was predictable: Dong Yifu went from small wins to small losses to huge losses, quickly losing all his money and accumulating a mountain of debt. The casino staff came to collect the debt daily. Initially polite, they became verbally abusive and even physically aggressive. Desperate, Dong Yifu misappropriated five hundred silver dollars meant for purchasing goods to pay off his debts, and they even forcibly took a batch of goods from the shop as collateral. Even then, his debts remained unpaid, and Ma Dapao continued to send people to collect every few days. To make up for the shop's losses, Dong Yifu secretly sold the two acres of good land his father had owned, and desperately lowered the purchase price of goods while raising the selling price, causing fewer and fewer customers and a significant decline in business. He also laid off two employees to save on wages. However, he knew that doing so wouldn't solve the problem. Master Nan would eventually notice something was amiss, and then it wouldn't just be a matter of money. Pang Xiaohu listened, thought for a moment, and had an idea. He casually asked Dong Yifu, "Have you visited my older sister recently?" Dong Yifu shuddered at the question. He already knew that Xiaohu disliked him, his brother-in-law, because he knew about the shameful things he and his son had done to Pang Juhua, and therefore forbade him from visiting her. After Pang Juhua moved to the county town, Xiaohu wouldn't let him visit at all. He himself had sexual problems; even if he were given a naked woman, he would have difficulty with her. When he first married Pang Juhua, he relied on aphrodisiacs every night to be able to have sex with her. He usually went to brothels with his friends just for fun, but they couldn't actually have sex. Last month, he secretly visited his wife while Xiaohu was away and found her even more alluring than before. Her clothes were very fashionable, even more beautiful than those of wealthy young ladies, with a hint of allure and flirtatiousness in her eyes. As he looked at her, his lower abdomen heated up, and he actually became aroused, feeling his penis swell slightly, showing signs of hardening. He knew Xiao Hu had gone back to Pangjia Village to visit his parents, so he boldly grabbed Pang Juhua and tried to pull down her pants. Pang Juhua blushed and tried to avoid her husband's advances; her shy appearance only excited Dong Yifu more. With Xiao Hu not home, Pang Juhua didn't dare to force herself on him; after all, he was still her husband. In the end, he forcibly stripped her naked and carried her to the bed. At this crucial moment, Dong Yifu's penis went limp again, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. In the end, he only groped and licked his wife's body for a while before hastily ending things. When Xiao Hu asked about his visit to Pang Juhua, Dong Yifu assumed his wife had complained to Xiao Hu. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face, saying he'd been bewitched and had gone to Pang Juhua's place a few days ago. He swore to God that he only wanted to see her and absolutely did not sleep with her. He said he would never dare to do it again and begged Xiaohu to forgive him and help him through this difficult time. Xiaohu, who didn't know about this, suddenly had a bright idea and pretended to be very angry. In the end, Dong Yifu pleaded humbly for a long time before Xiaohu reluctantly agreed to help Dong Yifu resolve his troubles. However, Xiaohu also made a harsh condition: Dong Yifu must immediately write a written agreement (a letter of divorce) declaring that he would allow his wife Pang Juhua to remarry and would never go back on his word.In exchange, Xiao Hu would not only help him cover the losses in the general store and settle things with the Ma family, but would also pay him three hundred silver dollars in a lump sum. However, he could no longer manage the general store for Master Nan; Xiao Hu promised to arrange for him to return to the Nan family mansion and continue working as his accountant. In this era, marriage and divorce were not matters for the government, and there were no marriage certificates or divorce documents. Ordinary people would simply have a wedding ceremony at home, a traditional "bowing to heaven and earth." Divorce was simply a written divorce decree, signed and sealed. Only wealthy city dwellers who liked to follow the trend would publish marriage (or divorce) announcements in the newspapers. Dong Yifu readily agreed to Xiao Hu's request. He had seen how Nan Dechang used to punish servants who embezzled or misappropriated money from the Nan family mansion: those who were lightly whipped and driven out of the mansion, and those who were severely punished had their hands and feet broken and were thrown into the street. Anyone punished by the Southern Prefecture was generally forced to leave their hometown to make a living elsewhere, as locals were afraid of the Southern Prefecture and dared not take them in. Xiao Hu's help far exceeded his expectations. Besides, he had only spent less than fifty silver dollars to marry Pang Juhua, and the money Xiao Hu promised him was enough for him to marry three or four more times. Pang Xiao Hu then inquired about Ma Dapao's situation and the details of his family's gambling den. It turned out that Ma Dapao's father, One-Eyed Ma, was a local tyrant who had run a gambling den and brothel for over a decade. His original nickname was "Hairy Ma," but years ago, during a fight in the underworld, he lost an eye, becoming One-Eyed Ma. He was well-connected with the gangsters under Battalion Commander Cui, and relying on their power, he had committed numerous crimes in the area, but no one had dared to touch him. Xiao Hu already had a plan, but he wouldn't tell Dong Yifu the details. He took the written note from Dong Yifu and left the grocery store. Dong Yifu respectfully saw him out of the store. Section 2: Xiao Hu's wicked scheme succeeded. Returning home, his mother, Wang Yumei, was washing dishes, while his two younger brothers played nearby. Xiao Hu asked his mother where his mute apprentice nephew was. Wang Yumei said he was chopping wood in the backyard. She kept praising her nephew for being diligent and always eager to do everything, lamenting that such a good child was mute. Xiao Hu smiled but said nothing. Xiao Hu then asked why he hadn't seen his eldest sister. Wang Yumei replied that she was upstairs in her room, her expression somewhat strange as she said this. Seeing Xiaohu's questioning gaze, she stammered, "We have a guest at home, a very handsome young officer. He said his name is Yuan Zhenguo, and he's your sworn brother. He brought many gifts for your eldest sister, me, Xiaobao, and Xiaoniu. He's upstairs talking to your eldest sister right now!" Wang Yumei said that Yuan Zhenguo had come after Xiaohu left. However, this wasn't his first visit; Xiaohu had gone out to find Dong Yifu as soon as he got home, and she hadn't had a chance to mention it to him yet. Every time Yuan Zhenguo came, he would go to Pang Juhua's room, clearly showing he was interested in her. Once, when Wang Yumei brought in tea, she noticed their bodies hastily separating. She guessed they had probably been embracing before she entered. Wang Yumei hadn't seen much of the world and didn't know how to handle such a situation. But she could guess her daughter's thoughts: Officer Yuan was so young and handsome, powerful, and promising—what woman wouldn't love him? But her daughter was a married woman. She wanted to say a few words to Pang Juhua: "Don't mess around with other men, it'll ruin your reputation." But that Commander Yuan was too handsome and too good at charming women. He respected Wang Yumei immensely, and even Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu had been won over by him, shouting excitedly whenever they saw him. Therefore, she hadn't dared to criticize her daughter, and Pang Juhua was also embarrassed to mention to her mother the plans Xiao Hu had made for her. "Brother Yuan is here?" Xiao Hu was very happy. He was just about to go to Yuan Zhenguo to discuss his and his older sister's affairs. It was truly "speak of the devil, and he appears." At this moment, Yuan Zhenguo and Pang Juhua both heard Xiao Hu's voice downstairs, and the two came down together. Yuan Zhenguo's gaze towards Xiao Hu seemed somewhat shifty; he was quite guilty. Pang Juhua, however, was different. A blush appeared on her face, making her particularly charming and alluring. Pang Xiao Hu stared at his older sister's appearance for a moment, and a surge of jealousy welled up in his heart. He thought, "My older brother seems to be a seasoned player in love. I was so eager to set him up with my sister, but before I could even put in much effort, he made his move first. Maybe he's already slept with her." He felt a bitter taste in his mouth and a stinging sensation in his nose. Then he cursed himself inwardly, "What's wrong with me? I've always wanted my sister to be happy; I should be happy now." So he invited Yuan Zhenguo to sit down, and while drinking the hot tea Wang Yumei brought, he told him about his experiences in his hometown. Although Yuan Zhenguo was interested in everything Xiao Hu said, he was more curious about Xiao Hu's attitude towards his ambiguous relationship with Pang Juhua. Two months ago, when he visited his sister Yuan Ruyu, he found that Pang Juhua wasn't there, and he felt a deep sense of loss. Later, he mustered up the courage to ask his sister, only to learn that Pang Juhua had resigned from her job in the Southern Prefecture and moved to the county town. That was good; she was closer to him now. He hesitated to approach Pang Juhua directly, afraid of frightening her and also afraid of seeing her husband or Pang Xiaohu. After several days of hesitation, he finally mustered the courage to speak to Pang Juhua, who was out buying rice. He pretended to bump into her by chance and had his guards help her carry the rice all the way home, also learning that her husband didn't live there. He was overjoyed and from then on, he constantly found various excuses to visit. Seeing that she spent her days learning sewing at home, he would often bring her fabrics, silks, needles, and sometimes sweets and pastries. After several visits, he felt he might have a chance, because Pang Juhua wasn't too averse to him, just rather shy. Later, Wang Yumei came from the countryside to visit her daughter with her two children, Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu. To win Wang Yumei's favor, he would bring her and the two children all sorts of gifts each time he came. Wang Yumei was initially very afraid of Yuan Zhenguo. Because she had always lived in the countryside, she had never seen a high-ranking officer in military uniform with a pistol and two guards following behind him. Later, he realized this, and from then on, whenever he came to Pang Juhua's place, he would have the guards wait for him in the teahouse on the main street, while he would approach alone and knock on the door. The two little rascals, Little Leopard and Little Ox, were quite pleased with him and called him Uncle Yuan. Whenever this happened, he would earnestly correct them: they should call him Brother Yuan. He had already kissed Pang Juhua's lips and touched her breasts when no one was around, but he hadn't yet succeeded. However, he was confident: Pang Juhua clearly liked him too, and it was only a matter of time before he got her body. Just now, before Little Tiger returned, Pang Juhua had allowed him to put his hand inside her pants for the first time, and he had touched her labia. What troubled him was that Pang Juhua was a married woman. As a regimental commander in the Central Army, he bore the heavy responsibility of defending against the Communist Red Army and maintaining local order. As a local military commander, he couldn't very well openly abduct a woman, could he? The thought that his beloved woman belonged to another man, that she would be stripped naked and forced beneath him to be used at his will, drove Yuan Zhenguo mad. Pang Xiaohu chatted with Yuan Zhenguo for a while, and seeing his distracted state, said he wanted to go for a walk in the backyard with him to discuss something important. This matter was indeed inappropriate to discuss in front of his mother, Wang Yumei, and his elder sister, Pang Juhua. It was a very ordinary house, with a small backyard planted with some vegetables. Yunfeng was chopping firewood alone in a small patch of land, sweating profusely. Her hair had grown to about an inch long, so she no longer needed to wear a hat all day. Xiaohu used sign language to tell her to go back inside and rest, saying he and Brother Yuan had something to discuss. Yunfeng nodded and went alone. Xiaohu told Yuan Zhenguo that the mute woman was someone he had brought home; she was his nephew. "Our Commander Yuan is quite the big shot now, actually starting to harass and flirt with respectable women," Xiaohu said deliberately in a cold tone after Yunfeng left. "Little Tiger, this... isn't what you think, I...""I... I truly love your eldest sister." Yuan Zhenguo, feeling guilty, couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and had to tell the truth. Xiao Hu stared into his eyes, making him uneasy. After a while, Xiao Hu finally spoke: "Alright, brother, I won't waste any more words with you. Tell me honestly: are you and my eldest sister going to be a long-term couple or just a short-term one?" "Huh?!" Yuan Zhenguo was stunned: it seemed Xiaohu didn't object to him being with Pang Juhua. But what did he mean by asking that? It was like what Wang Po asked Ximen Qing in *Water Margin*. Did he want him to kill his brother-in-law? Yuan Zhenguo had killed people on the battlefield, but he had never killed anyone for a woman. He had heard from his sister, Yuan Ruyu, that Pang Juhua's husband, Lao Dong, was no good and didn't deserve her at all. But he couldn't just take his life because of that. Pang Xiaohu chuckled and told Yuan Zhenguo about the trouble Dong Yifu was in and his own thoughts. Yuan Zhenguo stared at Xiaohu with wide eyes and said, "How unlucky I am to have become sworn brothers with such a treacherous and vicious fellow like you! It seems my reputation is going to be ruined by you." Xiaohu punched him hard in the chest and said, "I'm doing this for you, don't be so ungrateful! If you don't want to marry my sister, get out of here right now!" Yuan Zhenguo quickly put on a smiling face and bowed to Xiaohu: "No..."No, brother, I'm apologizing to you here. Please, please grant me and Juhua our wish to be together forever! Or, from now on, I'll call you brother? Seeing Xiao Hu and Yuan Zhenguo chatting intimately, Wang Yumei figured he probably already knew about the affair between Pang Juhua and this Commander Yuan, so she invited Yuan Zhenguo to stay for dinner. Yuan Zhenguo was delighted; things were finally looking up with Pang Juhua. After dinner, he didn't linger and immediately said goodbye to his future mother-in-law, Wang Yumei, to go back and make arrangements as Xiao Hu had instructed. Xiao Hu told Wang Yumei and Pang Juhua about his plans for his father, Pang Dashan, assuring them that he would bring him back soon. That night, however, an awkward situation arose. The house only had three rooms besides the downstairs living room: two upstairs and one downstairs, with only three beds. Wang Yumei had planned to have Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu sleep in the downstairs room, as they had been sleeping with their mother for the past few days. But today, Xiao Bao insisted on sleeping upstairs with his older sister, Pang Juhua, and Xiao Niu also wanted to sleep with his older sister. So Wang Yumei went downstairs to sleep alone. Wang Yumei and Pang Juhua were still unaware that Xiaohu's mute apprentice niece was actually a young woman, and they naturally arranged for Xiaohu to share a bed with her. Xiaohu had originally planned to ask someone to bring over one of his invented bunk beds from the Xishi Inn, which would solve the sleeping problem. However, he had been too busy during the day and forgot about it. Now he could only squeeze in with Yunfeng. Yunfeng silently took off her clothes and lay down inside; she had done a lot of housework during the day and fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down. Xiaohu didn't dare take off his clothes, lying down next to the bed, only covered by a corner of the blanket, which was very uncomfortable. Late at night, Xiaohu still tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He looked at Yunfeng; she was sleeping soundly, radiating a captivating youthful aura. Although Yunfeng was mute, she had regular features and a rosy complexion. Aside from her relatively small breasts (perhaps not fully developed), her body was well-proportioned; if she were naked, she would be quite a sight. She was only wearing underwear and shorts, and the bed was small, so several times her healthy, full limbs brushed against Xiaohu's body. In the middle of the night, Yunfeng turned over, one of her thighs pressing against Xiaohu's stomach. Xiaohu hadn't fallen asleep. Yunfeng's mouth was only inches from his, her warm breath brushing against his face, and her arm was draped over his chest. Xiaohu felt increasingly alluring from her young body; his penis was already hard, and he felt an urge to reach out and touch her. He silently cursed himself, gently moving her limbs away. Then he got out of bed, put on his clothes, and quietly went downstairs to his mother's room. Wang Yumei wasn't asleep either; it seemed she had been waiting for Xiaohu. As soon as he approached the bedside, she lifted the covers and said to him, "Xiaohu, quickly take off your clothes and come in." Xiao Hu stripped naked and crawled under the covers, embracing his mother. He discovered she was completely naked. He buried his face between her breasts, and Wang Yumei let out satisfied moans. Xiao Hu couldn't hold back any longer. He parted his mother's legs and thrust his penis deep into her body. Soon, they were both sweating profusely on the bed, immersed in the pleasure of sex. Wang Yumei cooperated with her son's movements while trying her best not to cry out loud. Of course, she knew this was a shameful thing, but she just couldn't control her desire. Extreme shame and pleasure made her feel like she couldn't breathe. Her husband, Pang Dashan, was strong and usually had sex with her almost every night when they were at home. This time, after being separated from her husband for nearly three months, Wang Yumei was desperate for men. Even seeing Yuan Zhenguo made her blush and her heart race. After they finished, she and her son quickly fell asleep. Chapter 3: A Joyous Occasion The day after Xiao Hu woke up, someone came to see him. It was Liang Yongfu, Nan Huiying's husband. To be honest, Xiao Hu was now very afraid to see Liang Yongfu and his wife. He shouldn't have gotten involved with Nan Huiying, the eldest daughter of the Nan family, because she had a relatively happy family, and she was also the daughter of his most respected master's wife. His relationship with her was purely driven by animal instinct; he couldn't control his penis. He was afraid that if this got out, it would ruin Nan Huiying's reputation and also betray his master's wife, who had always been so kind to him. Liang Yongfu came to see Xiao Hu because his "Liang's Silk" shop had recently received a large shipment of silk, worth five or six thousand silver dollars. At the time, he thought the price was cheap and bought the entire batch despite his wife Nan Huiying's objections. However, he recently received a letter from an old friend saying that the price of silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had dropped sharply. If the news reached here, his goods would definitely be unsaleable, and he would suffer a huge loss. These past few days, he'd been so anxious he was scratching his head at home, unable to eat or drink. His family had just had a joyous occasion and were preparing for a grand celebration, but this losing business had ruined his mood. It was his wife who reminded him, "Why don't you ask Pang Xiaohu for help?" He thought, "That's right." Pang Xiaohu was his partner in his "Xi Shi Inn," owning a quarter of the business. He was resourceful; perhaps he could come up with a good solution. Xiaohu already felt guilty towards the couple, and hearing this, he thought it was perfect opportunity to help them and ease their burden. After a moment's thought, he said to Liang Yongfu, "This is easy. Mr. Liang, your Liangji Silk business can expand. Besides selling silk, you can also sell ready-made clothes and trousers. Use innovative and exquisitely crafted garments to boost silk sales. That way, even if the stock doesn't sell, it won't matter; selling finished garments is much more profitable than just selling silk." “But where am I supposed to find some new and stylish clothing designs all of a sudden?” Liang Yongfu asked. Pang Xiaohu said that was no problem at all. He immediately called in his eldest sister, Pang Juhua, and had her bring out the trendy clothes that Xiaohu had designed and sewn herself. They put on a fashion show for Boss Liang right there and then, just like in a modern era. “Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.” "Pang Juhua was originally just a pretty country woman. After Xiao Hu's guidance and training, and wearing those sexy and alluring clothes, she transformed in the blink of an eye into a stunningly beautiful and charming fashion model. Liang Yongfu was simply dazzled. He had seen Pang Juhua a few times before and hadn't thought much of her. Now, seeing her, he realized she was no less beautiful than his wife, who was said to rival Xi Shi (a legendary beauty), and even surpassed her in terms of sexiness and charm. The clothes she wore might not be anything special in the 21st century, but in the 1930s, they would absolutely lead a new fashion trend nationwide and even worldwide. Xiao Hu knew the limits of what people could accept in that era, so his designs emphasized aesthetics and practicality, with sexiness and exposure being secondary. Even so, the well-traveled Mr. Liang was still shocked: so this is how women's clothes could be worn! He felt an urge to rush over and kiss Pang Juhua. Just as he was blushing and about to have a nosebleed, Pang Xiao Hu waved his hand, ending the fashion show." Liang Yongfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little regretful, he dared not show it in front of Xiao Hu. "Brother Pang, where did you get such nice clothes?" Liang Yongfu asked. Before Xiao Hu could answer, he continued, "These clothes are too high-end; they certainly won't be cheap. Women in our countryside probably wouldn't be willing to spend money on such expensive clothes, would they?" "Boss Liang, these styles are all my own creations; they're probably unique in the whole country. Even if they don't sell here, why don't you take them to a big city? If you sell them in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, the price will definitely be two to three times higher!" "Xiao Hu replied with a smile. This really whetted Liang Yongfu's appetite. He said he had to go home immediately to share the good news with his parents and wife, who were still anxiously waiting for the huge pile of silk in the warehouse. He said he absolutely had to invite Xiao Hu and his whole family to his house for dinner that night, and to discuss the possibility of a joint clothing business. After saying this, he rushed out the door. Before dinner time, Liang Yongfu sent a male and female employee to pick up Xiao Hu's family. So Xiao Hu, his mother Wang Yumei, his older sister Pang Juhua, and Xiao Bao, Xiao Niu, and Yun Feng arrived at Boss Liang's house. The two houses were not far apart, only a seven or eight-minute walk. The Liang family's business was thriving, so their living conditions were naturally much better. Liang Yongfu and his father stood at the gate of their yard waiting for Xiao Hu's arrival. To them, this Pang Xiao Hu was practically a god of wealth. Xiao Hu noticed that Nan Huiying hadn't shown up, and he was a little puzzled: Could she be sick?" Although he was somewhat afraid to see her, he still cared deeply for this young lady of the Nan family. He couldn't quite express his feelings for her: deep down, he always saw her as a younger version of the eldest mistress. If the eldest mistress's master knew the filthy thoughts in his mind, she might give him a good beating. "Boss Liang, where's the boss's wife? Is she alright?" Xiao Hu finally couldn't help but ask Liang Yongfu. "Brother Pang, please call me Brother Liang from now on, it won't seem so formal. Your sister-in-law is fine, she's inside.""I invited you here not only to discuss business matters, but also to celebrate a momentous occasion for my Liang family," Liang Yongfu replied with a smile to Xiaohu. "What's the occasion? I didn't bring a gift today..." "No need, no need, brother, your presence is enough." Xiaohu sensed something was amiss: Liang Yongfu seemed very happy, but the way he looked at Xiaohu was rather peculiar, with a hint of uncertainty. He hadn't mentioned what the family's celebration was. Once inside the living room, Liang Yongfu and his father invited Xiaohu's family to sit down. The table was already laden with exquisite and abundant dishes, some of which Xiaohu couldn't even name. Pang Juhua, having served the seventh concubine in the Nan family, had seen a bit of the world. Wang Yumei, who had never been a guest in a wealthy household, trembled at the sight of the feast: "How much did this meal cost?" "Because they were shy, Little Leopard and Little Ox didn't shout and run around like they usually do at home. Little Leopard clung tightly to his mother's clothes, while Little Ox sat on his older sister's lap, held in her arms. Both of them had wide-open eyes and didn't move at all. Liang Yongfu's parents had always wanted a grandson. When they saw Little Leopard and Little Ox, they praised them for being well-behaved and told the maid to bring them some candy. At this moment, the mistress of the house, Nan Huiying, entered, surrounded by several women. Her face seemed a little plumper, her complexion rosy, and she wore a satisfied smile. To Little Tiger's surprise, the woman diligently supporting her was none other than Liang Yongfu's concubine, whom she had called a vixen. The woman now had none of the vixen's arrogance, serving the mistress of the house with meekness and obedience. Little Tiger quickly understood why: Miss Nan's belly was slightly protruding; she was pregnant!" No wonder Liang Yongfu said his family had a great joy. Whether it was a boy or a girl, he would finally have an heir. His parents now cherished this daughter-in-law more than anything, sparing no effort to ensure her pregnancy, fearing even the slightest mishap. Xiao Hu, however, felt a pang of bitterness: Liang Yongfu and his wife hadn't had a child for so many years, and even after marrying this eighteen-year-old concubine and diligently working on her for months, her belly showed no signs of pregnancy. This meant there was a problem with his fertility; Nan Huiying was most likely carrying his child! In his previous life, Pang Xiaohu had never considered having children. After his wife's death, he indulged in a life of pleasure and debauchery with many women, but none of them had gotten pregnant. He never expected to conceive with Miss Nan after transmigrating. He looked up and saw Liang Yongfu staring at him with a strange look, seemingly both nervous and afraid, and even a little pitiful. Looking at Nan Huiying, his face was filled with happiness. Xiao Hu sighed inwardly. Given his current situation, he truly lacked the energy to raise and care for a new life, and besides, his affair with Miss Nan absolutely could not be made public. Letting the child live with Nan Huiying and her husband was the best option for everyone at the moment. Thinking this, he said to Liang Yongfu and his wife, "Pang Xiaohu congratulates you, elder brother and sister-in-law. I'm so sorry I didn't bring any gifts today." As he spoke, his elder sister, Pang Juhua, sitting beside him, tugged at his sleeve and handed him a pair of jade bracelets. These bracelets were a gift from Yuan Zhenguo; she had just taken them off her arm, and they still carried her warmth. Xiao Hu understood his sister's meaning and looked at her gratefully. He took the bracelets and presented them to Nan Huiying with both hands, saying, "Please accept these bracelets, sister-in-law; they are a token of our family's affection." Nan Huiying suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had long known that the child in her belly was most likely conceived by Pang Xiaohu, but her naturally boisterous personality, coupled with the pampering she had received from her husband and in-laws these past few days, had made her so overwhelmed with happiness that she hadn't had time to think things through. Now, recalling the embarrassing things that had happened between her and Xiaohu, her face flushed red, as if she were drunk. Seeing his wife standing there in a daze, Liang Yongfu quickly took the bracelets from Xiaohu's hands, saying, "Xiaohu, then I'll accept them on behalf of your sister-in-law. Thank you very much." After saying this, he began personally pouring wine for the guests. The banquet began, and the atmosphere became lively. Although Xiao Hu's thoughts were somewhat complicated, he was generally very happy. Wang Yumei and Pang Juhua, who were usually not very talkative in front of strangers, also chatted warmly with Nan Huiying and her mother-in-law. During the banquet, Pang Xiao Hu and Liang Yongfu also finalized their future business cooperation: Liang's Silk Company would recruit about ten skilled seamstresses, and Pang Juhua would teach them to sew the new styles of clothes and trousers. Liang Yongfu would then transport them to the provincial capital to sell. Regardless of the selling price, 20% would go to Pang Juhua as her payment. Liang Yongfu felt bad and wanted to give Xiao Hu some extra compensation. If it weren't for the beautiful clothing designs he had created, this deal would definitely not have happened. Xiao Hu said it wasn't necessary. He then gave Liang Yongfu two more novel ideas to help him sell silk: First, select some pretty young women and have them wear the beautiful clothes made by Pang Juhua and promote the silk at "Liang's Silk Shop" to attract customers. Second, hold a "prize-based sales" event; any customer who buys silk or clothing from "Liang's Silk Shop" can enter a lottery on the spot. Winners can choose any small prize, while the grand prize winner can receive a free set of the latest fashion. Liang Yongfu and Nan Huiying both cheered loudly. He was indeed a prodigy, coming up with such novel and unique ideas. Liang Yongfu pressured Xiao Hu to agree, insisting he accept a share of "Liang's Silk Shop's" profits as payment. Xiao Hu couldn't refuse and agreed. Putting aside personal feelings, although his ideas were simple, they could indeed help the Liang family out of their predicament and earn a lot more money; accepting some payment was justified. Liang Yongfu was a shrewd man; he believed that giving Xiaohu a share was a fair deal. His "Xi Shi Inn" was already raking in profits using the methods Xiaohu had taught him. Now, he was using another share to tie Xiaohu to "Liang's Silk," so that if he encountered difficulties in the future, he could always turn to Xiaohu for advice. Xiaohu also breathed a sigh of relief: his elder sister, Pang Juhua, had found a market for her tailored clothes effortlessly, taking another big step towards independence. He planned to let his elder sister master the styles and cutting methods of those garments, arranging for the hired female workers to work in an assembly line fashion, with each person only responsible for a small portion of the sewing. This would both speed up the work and prevent others from stealing his designs (at least for a while). Nan Huiying sat there, talking to Pang Juhua and Wang Yumei, while also lost in her own thoughts. She recalled that night about ten days ago. She had just undressed and was about to go to bed when her husband, Liang Yongfu, drunk and furious, stormed in. He berated her, calling her an unfaithful woman and threatening to divorce her and kick her out of the Liang family. Although Liang Yongfu doted on his concubine, he had always treated his wife well and had never spoken ill of her. Nan Huiying guessed that he had probably heard some rumors about her and Pang Xiaohu, which was why he had acted this way. Although Nan Huiying was fearless, she was kind-hearted and never abused her power. She felt she had truly wronged her husband, so she swallowed her anger and didn't argue with him. Liang Yongfu knew his wife was very capable and usually dared not provoke her. This time, it was because his concubine had secretly informed on him, saying that a shop assistant had seen Nan Huiying and Pang Xiaohu kissing and groping each other in the accounting room, that he couldn't help but lose his temper with his wife. Liang Yongfu's shouting grew louder and louder, waking his parents from their sleep. They hurriedly got up, dressed, and went to their son and daughter-in-law's room to mediate. Upon entering, they saw their son chasing his wife around the house, brandishing his claws. They knew their son was usually very afraid of his wife; what was wrong with him today? Looking at his wife, they saw that her undergarment had a large tear in the front, and she was only wearing shorts, revealing her white breasts and thighs. Old Mr. Liang tried to avoid them, but bumped into his running wife and fell to the ground with a thud! His wife rushed to help him up, yelling at their son and daughter-in-law, "Are you crazy?!" But Nan Huiying ignored them, ran outside, and squatted down to vomit violently. The wife was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "My God, Huiying is pregnant!" For several days in a row, she had seen her daughter-in-law vomiting every morning. Because she had preconceived the idea that her daughter-in-law couldn't have children, she only realized it now. By this time, Liang Yongfu had finished his tantrum and was almost sober. Seeing his wife squatting there vomiting, he assumed she was ill and went to help her. His mother rushed forward to block his way, screaming, "You're not allowed to touch her!" His father also shouted from behind, "If you dare touch your wife, I'll break your legs!" From then on, Liang Yongfu lost all right to approach his wife: the elderly couple would half-carry, half-lift their daughter-in-law to the bed inside, taking turns guarding the door to prevent their son from entering, and even sending a servant to fetch a groom that very night.They came to visit. Upon learning that his wife was indeed pregnant, they were so overjoyed they couldn't sleep for days. Liang Yongfu had a change of heart the next day. Since taking a concubine, he had been unable to get her pregnant, and had long since lost faith in having children. He had a distant cousin living in the county, and he had originally wanted to adopt a son from him, but he was wary of the family, fearing they would use the son to seize his property. Now, he could finally have his own child. Even if the child was Pang Xiaohu's, so what? It was born to his lawfully wedded wife, and naturally, the child would take his surname. He thought: Pang Xiaohu is a renowned child prodigy; his child must be intelligent, and perhaps even bring glory to the Liang family in the future! The Liang family wouldn't lose out in this! He went to his wife's bedside and sincerely apologized, begging for her forgiveness for his rudeness. Then, in front of his wife, he berated the concubine severely, making Nan Huiying feel embarrassed and plead for her. However, he still couldn't share a room with his wife that night; at most, he could only kiss and touch her a few times before his mother kicked him out of the room. His mother had already moved her bedding to the outer room of Nan Huiying's boudoir, saying she would stay until her daughter-in-law safely gave birth. Chapter 4: Double-crossing Ten days later, late at night, the gambling den run by the Ma family father and son was suddenly robbed by a group of bandits. There were more than twenty of them, all burly men with black cloth covering their faces, wielding wooden clubs, broadswords, and spears. The gamblers were fine as long as they followed orders and lay face down with their hands behind their heads, but the seven or eight thugs employed by the Ma family suffered greatly, almost all of them being beaten black and blue. Those who resisted were either slashed with broadswords or stabbed with spears. Those men not only stole over five thousand silver dollars worth of gambling winnings, but also burned all the loan receipts and ledgers they had found in the gambling den. Ma Dapao himself had his leg broken, and his father, One-Eyed Ma, was stabbed in the stomach with a spear, bleeding profusely, and died that night. One-Eyed Ma owned a Mauser pistol, and his gambling den also contained several long guns, all purchased from Battalion Commander Cui's men. However, the robbers arrived too suddenly; One-Eyed Ma hadn't even had time to draw his gun before he was speared to the ground. Naturally, all his long and short guns were also found and taken by the robbers. Upon receiving the report, Commander Yuan of the 378th Regiment of the Central Army stationed in Yudong County immediately dispatched troops to capture the robbers. His soldiers surrounded the Ma family's gambling den, but the robbers had already escaped. Later, officials from the county government arrived, and all the gamblers and henchmen of the Ma family present were thoroughly questioned, but no clues were obtained. Yudong County was placed under martial law for three days. The Ma family, father and son, were notorious in Yudong County for their habit of setting traps to lure people into gambling and for their violent debt collection tactics. This time, when they were in trouble, few people offered sympathy. Those who owed them gambling debts celebrated, as all the IOUs in the gambling den had been burned, meaning they wouldn't have to repay their debts. Later, rumors circulated that the robbery was carried out by agents of the Communist Red Army from the other side of the mountain. This news put the 378th Regiment of the garrison on high alert, setting up checkpoints at all major transportation routes and rigorously checking passersby and merchants until more than a month later. After writing a letter of divorce to his wife, Dong Yifu obediently returned to Coconut Grove Town with the three hundred silver dollars Pang Xiaohu had given him, continuing to work as an accountant in the Nanfu. He had initially worried that Xiao Hu wouldn't be able to handle Ma Dapao. If the Ma family sent people to the Nan Mansion to collect their debts, it would be disastrous; if Master Nan found out he'd embezzled money from the counter, he'd certainly not let him off the hook. Later, he heard that the Ma family gambling den had been robbed, the IOUs and other documents had been burned, and One-Eyed Ma had lost his life. Only then did he feel relieved. He naturally suspected that the Ma family gambling den incident was related to Pang Xiao Hu. But Xiao Hu was merely a manager in the Nan Mansion; where would he get such power? Later, he heard that Xiao Hu was sworn brothers with Commander Yuan, an officer in the Central Army, and that Commander Yuan was currently having a passionate affair with his ex-wife, Pang Juhua, and even planned to marry her as his legal wife. Only then did he understand the whole story behind the robbery of the Ma family gambling den and the murder of One-Eyed Ma. What Communist Red Army? It was the Central Army of the 378th Regiment that did it! Dong Yifu had seen Commander Yuan at the Nan Mansion. He was wearing a brand-new military uniform, carrying a gleaming Mauser pistol, and followed by two menacing guards. Even Master Nan treated him with utmost respect; his presence was truly impressive. He'd heard that even the previously lawless Battalion Commander Cui had been brought under his thumb. He thought to himself, "That was close! Luckily, I gave up my wife in time, otherwise I would have been the one to die!" He had initially felt some reluctance after signing the divorce papers, but now he was completely resigned. Even if he had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to compete with Commander Yuan for a woman. To be honest, Pang Juhua was truly a good wife. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also incredibly hardworking; he had never heard her complain once since their marriage. Alas, this woman no longer belonged to him. This whole affair, of course, was orchestrated by Xiao Hu behind the scenes. Yuan Zhenguo only sent two of his loyal guards; the rest were trusted men selected by Yuan Zhenwu from his large group of apprentices. Yuan Zhenguo's guards were all armed, in case trouble arose and they were killed to cover their tracks. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The killing of One-Eyed Horse was also pre-arranged, as this man had deep roots in the area, and if he wasn't eliminated, he would likely cause endless trouble later. The rumors about the "Communist Red Army" that followed were spread by Xiao Hu at Yuan Zhenwu's behest. Xiao Hu gave Yuan Zhenguo the more than 5,500 silver dollars he had looted, keeping 2,000 for himself. He wanted Yuan Zhenwu to take the rest and distribute it among himself and his apprentices. Yuan Zhenwu was too embarrassed to take so much money. After some persuasion, he finally took 2,000, and Xiao Hu took the remaining 1,500. Yuan Zhenguo gave each of his two guards 200 silver dollars. Yuan Zhenguo had no income other than his army salary. Although some officers in the Central Army did engage in embezzlement and exploitation of soldiers, such acts were punishable by military law, and besides, he wasn't that kind of person. Now that he suddenly had this spare money, he couldn't wait to marry Pang Juhua. Although there was a significant difference in their social status, and she was a divorced woman, Yuan Zhenguo's parents were deceased, leaving him without elders to restrain him. His older sister, Yuan Ruyu, got along well with Pang Juhua because of Xiaohu, so there wouldn't be any problems. However, Xiaohu said the timing wasn't right. He said they should wait until his older sister and the Liang family's clothing business were on track before they could officially get married. In short, he wanted his older sister to be independent first, to ensure her long-term happiness. If she depended on a man for everything, it was hard to guarantee that the man she depended on wouldn't change his mind in the future. Although Yuan Zhenguo disagreed with this, he owed Xiaohu a huge favor, and Xiaohu was superior to him in every way, so he dared not go against his wishes. However, he was also very confident in his own charm, believing that Pang Juhua couldn't live without him, and that marrying him was only a matter of time. He frequently visited Pang Juhua, and whenever he had the chance, he would be intimate with her, even engaging in inappropriate acts. Xiao Hu could only pretend not to see. Section 5: New Troubles Now, Pang Xiao Hu himself had new troubles. That night, he got very drunk at Liang Yongfu's house and was eventually carried home by his mute nephew, Yun Feng. He didn't wake up until after noon the next day. Because he had drunk too much the night before, his head was still a little dizzy. He found himself sleeping in his mother's room, covered by a blanket on the bed, but completely naked underneath. There was no one else in the room. He vaguely remembered being intimate with a woman the night before. The woman was very young; it certainly wasn't his mother. Nor was it his older sister; he was too familiar with the scents of his older sister and mother to be mistaken. The woman was very healthy, with smooth skin. He heard her breathing and felt her heartbeat, but he just couldn't remember what she looked like. Xiao Hu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Had he slept with his mute nephew, Yun Feng, last night? Although Yunfeng was two years older than him, he had always treated her with the care and affection of a junior. His grandmother and Jingyun had solemnly entrusted Yunfeng to him, also asking him to help find her biological parents. If he were to carelessly defile her, how could he face his senior sister and master in the future? He remembered that Yunfeng had grown up in Cinianzhai, never left the mountain, and had never been in contact with other men; she was definitely a virgin. He carefully examined his mother's bed, finding no bloodstains on the bedding or pillows, nor any traces of dried bodily fluids. He breathed a sigh of relief: it seemed he hadn't actually penetrated Yunfeng last night; at most, he had just held her, kissed and caressed her for a while before falling asleep. Just then, his mother, Wang Yumei, came in with a bowl of water. Seeing a bloodstain on her face, Xiaohu hugged her tightly, asking with concern what had happened. Wang Yumei grinned bitterly, saying that he had scratched her when he was drunk last night. "Ah?!" Xiaohu was shocked. What had happened? Wang Yumei explained that her mute apprentice nephew had carried her home last night and was drenched in sweat from the effort. Wang Yumei gestured to her mute apprentice nephew not to carry Xiaohu upstairs anymore and put Xiaohu down.She went downstairs to her own room and onto her bed. She told them to rest early, then took the sleeping leopard cub and went upstairs to sleep herself. Meanwhile, Pang Juhua and Xiao Niu were also sleeping in another room upstairs. After a while, Wang Yumei heard noises downstairs and, feeling uneasy, went downstairs with an oil lamp to investigate. She found Xiao Hu naked, embracing his mute niece, pressing his face between her breasts and calling her "Mama," while tearing at her clothes. Only then did she realize that Xiao Hu's niece was actually a young woman! Yun Feng was almost completely naked. Xiao Hu was kissing and touching her, even sucking on her breasts. She was somewhat flustered, fidgeting on the bed, her face flushed. Xiao Hu was now a strong man, and because she didn't want to hurt him and was afraid of making too much noise and waking others, she allowed Xiao Hu to take advantage of her. Wang Yumei had no choice but to put down the oil lamp and rush forward to try and pull Xiaohu away from the mute girl. Unexpectedly, Xiaohu grabbed his mother again and began tearing at her clothes; the bloodstains on her face were from Xiaohu's scratches during the "struggle." Finally, she and the mute girl struggled mightily to subdue Xiaohu on the bed, one holding down his upper body and the other his lower body. After a while, Xiaohu fell fast asleep, and they jumped off the bed, barely clothed, and dressed themselves. Later, Wang Yumei told Yunfeng to go upstairs to sleep with Xiaobao, while she squeezed herself next to Xiaohu. "But why don't I remember any of this?" It seems she really needs to be careful in the future; she can't drink too much, as excessive drinking can really lead to trouble. Xiaohu felt very sorry for his mother, tears streaming down his face as he hugged her and gently licked the bloodstains on her face. Wang Yumei patted his back and said, "Silly child, Mom's fine. This little injury will heal in a few days. But your mute nephew was bullied by you last night and suffered a lot of grievances. You should go see her first. She's such a good girl. If she weren't mute, she would be quite suitable to be your wife. Sigh." When Xiao Hu found Yun Feng, she was watering the vegetables in the backyard. Seeing Xiao Hu, a smile appeared on her face, but she didn't stop. Xiao Hu had to go closer and grab her hand before she finally stopped. Yun Feng looked at Xiao Hu with her bright eyes. Xiao Hu stammered a long apology to Yun Feng, but he felt he hadn't expressed himself clearly. He got impatient and raised his hand to slap himself hard. Before he could slap himself a second time, Yun Feng pounced on him and hugged him tightly, crying out "Waaah!" while stroking his reddened face. She was usually barely able to speak, only making this sound when she was extremely anxious. After a while, she let go, squatted down, picked up a twig, and wrote on the muddy ground: "Uncle-Master is a good person." Upon seeing these words, Xiao Hu was filled with shame, and his eyes welled up with tears. Yun Feng's already rosy face turned even redder. Suddenly, she tilted her head and pressed her face against Xiao Hu's, then covered her head with her hands, squatted down, and buried her face in her knees. Xiao Hu thought to himself: Oh no! I might have made a huge mistake again, perhaps even bigger than the one I made last night when I was drunk and took advantage of her! Before dinner that evening, Wang Yumei pulled her daughter, Pang Juhua, aside and whispered something in her ear. Pang Juhua stared wide-eyed at Xiao Hu and Yun Feng, making them both feel embarrassed. Later, she came over, grabbed Yun Feng's hand, and dragged her into her room. As usual, Wang Yumei served the prepared food and placed it on the table, then invited everyone to eat. Little Tiger, Little Leopard, and Little Ox sat down at the table and waited a while. Then, Pang Juhua led a blushing Yunfeng out of her room. Yunfeng had changed into beautiful women's clothes, and Pang Juhua had even applied some lipstick to her. Her hair was a little short, though. Little Leopard and Little Ox stared at her in astonishment, unable to comprehend how their mute brother had suddenly transformed into a beautiful older sister. Even Little Tiger was full of praise; Yunfeng looked much better now than when she was dressed as a boy. Whether it was because Yunfeng hadn't fully developed or because of her years of martial arts training, her breasts weren't very large. Of course, she wasn't flat-chested either. Little Tiger thought to himself: Should I make her one of those special effect bras from later generations that can lift and enlarge breasts? Right, selling bras should be a lucrative business, but unfortunately, he didn't have the time. Perhaps he could leave this business to his older sister and Nan Huiying. Bras had already been invented in Western countries, but in China, only a very small number of wealthy women living in big cities probably used them. The market potential was enormous; making money would definitely be easy. However, there was no need to rush things. After dinner, several male waiters from the Xi Shi Inn arrived, carrying a double bunk bed, which Boss Liang had ordered them to bring. Xiao Hu told them to carry the bed into the downstairs room. There was no room for the original bed, so they had taken it back to the inn. This finally solved the problem of overcrowded sleeping areas. However, Yun Feng had transformed back into a young woman and couldn't share a room with Xiao Hu anymore. Pang Juhua asked Yun Feng to sleep with her; her bed was larger. Both Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu wanted to sleep in this novel bunk bed, and both wanted to sleep on the upper bunk. Fortunately, Xiao Hu had designed a bunk bed with guardrails on the upper bunk, so they wouldn't fall off at night. Not only the children, but even Pang Juhua climbed onto the upper bunk and tried it out. Although Wang Yumei was used to Xiao Hu's novel ideas, she found the bunk bed both beautiful and sturdy, with a fixed wooden ladder, making it extremely convenient to climb up and down. She thought: No wonder Boss Liang forced Xiao Hu to accept a share of his shop; just this one idea doubled the capacity of his inn. She couldn't resist trying to lie down on the bed herself, but she didn't dare climb to the top bunk; she just lay on the bottom. Yun Feng seemed excited too. When no one was looking, she grabbed Xiao Hu's hand and held it tightly. When Xiao Hu turned to look at her, she felt embarrassed and let go. Xiao Hu quietly asked if she wanted to lie down on the bunk bed too, and she nodded, blushing. But Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu were having a great time, climbing up and down the wooden ladder, and wouldn't stop no matter how much they were called. So Xiao Hu simply squatted down, put his head between Yun Feng's legs, and let her ride on his neck. Then he stood up and lifted her up. Yun Feng, forgetting her shyness, grabbed the edge of the bed and climbed up. Xiao Niu, seeing this, also wanted to ride on Xiao Hu's neck. Xiao Hu grabbed the calf with both hands and lifted him up, just like he had lifted Yun Feng. However, the calf was too small, and even riding on Xiao Hu's neck, he couldn't climb to the top of the bed. Fortunately, Yun Feng reached out and caught the calf, lifting him up. The whole family played around the bed for over an hour before stopping. That night, the eldest sister, Pang Juhua, slept with Yun Feng, while their mother, Wang Yumei, slept on the lower bunk of the bunk bed to take care of the two children sleeping on the upper bunk. Xiao Hu slept alone in another room upstairs. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, constantly thinking about the feeling of Yun Feng riding on his neck. Her two thighs were so strong, making the back of his neck feel warm and comfortable. Judging that his two younger brothers were fast asleep, Xiao Hu quietly got up, slipped downstairs, and crawled into his mother's bed.
