"Wuu wuu, you heartless thing! I ran away with you ignoring my reputation, even bore you a child, and you? You discard me and our daughter and sneak back here, don’t you?

Have you gone back to that old hag because of old flames?

What did you tell me back then? You said she was ugly and old, like a log.

What now? You fancy logs all of a sudden?

Want to go back to hugging that rough log for the rest of your life?

Hmph, if it wasn’t for a fellow villager, I wouldn’t even have known about you kneeling at the entrance of Rice Flower Fragrance! "

Xingxing threw her daughter onto the kang bed and sat on the edge, wiping her tears, crying and cursing.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had been blind to fall for someone like Da Qiangzi.

Not only old and lazy but also full of trickery.

Had she not kept a close watch on her child, she feared her little girl might have been covertly sold off by Da Qiangzi!

Ever since he laid eyes on Xingxing, Da Qiangzi had been worrying. He hadn’t achieved his goal yet, and now this woman had shown up. If Dawang found out he had been deceived, there certainly would be no way out for him.

With this thought, Da Qiangzi steeled his heart and spilled all his schemes to Xingxing. After all, this woman could now only rely on him, so even if he told her, he wasn’t afraid she would blab about it.

"Ah yo, Xingxing, you really have me wrong. I came back all for the two of us and for our Niuniu!"

Da Qiangzi’s ability to twist facts was indeed not a joke.

As he spoke with apparent sincerity, he embraced Xingxing’s delicate body warmly and his hands started to wander: "You only heard about me kneeling to beg that woman for forgiveness, but you don’t know why I did it.

You think I still have feelings for that old woman?

Ah ya, Xingxing, are you being silly? Why would I not cherish a young and pretty woman like you and go for her instead? "

Xingxing was moved by his sweet talk and subconsciously retorted, "Then why did you go to her? Don’t tell me it’s for your two sons, hmph, you didn’t care for them when they were little, now that they’ve grown up do you think they would acknowledge you? Dream on!"

Da Qiangzi awkwardly touched his nose: "Don’t talk about those two ungrateful brats.

Not a single one of them is filial! Let me tell you, that old woman is now the shopkeeper of Rice Flower Fragrance, and that’s the biggest pastry shop around these towns.

Were we not just talking about its name in Tea Tree Town?

I was wondering, if she can be a shopkeeper with that silly look of hers, why can’t I?

So, I thought about making up with her first and then slowly taking over the shopkeeper position.

Wouldn’t I then be made? Xingxing, you’ve suffered so much with me over the years, it hurts my heart.

I’m doing all this for our better future! You can’t wrong me like this."

Upon hearing Da Qiangzi’s words, Xingxing frowned: "You make it sound so easy, is the boss of Rice Flower Fragrance a fool? You think you can just take it?"

"Hey, with my years of experience in running a shop, can’t I win over the boss? You’re underestimating me." Da Qiangzi boasted confidently, eliciting giggles from the little girl.

The laughter of the girl brightened Xingxing’s mood considerably.

Seeing Xingxing no longer harping on it, Da Qiangzi wrapped his arms tightly around her, instructing with a smile, "I’ve told them we’ve split up, ah-ah, I only said that to make the old woman believe me.

You’re so beautiful and so good to me, how could I bear to split up with you, right?

Hehe, so Xingxing, please help me out. In the next few days, I have to hurry up with that matter.

I’ll lock the door for you, don’t go out no matter what, don’t even go back to your old place, just wait for me here, don’t open the door to anyone, don’t talk to anyone.

I’m afraid that Dawang might suddenly come looking for me, you must hide well, don’t let him see you, or else our plan will be ruined. "

Xingxing nodded repeatedly.

Da Qiangzi, pleased in his heart, caressed Xingxing’s delicate body, feeling itchy: "Come here Xingxing, I’ve missed you so much these past days, let me tenderly cherish you!"

"Ah yo, you scoundrel! Niuniu is still here!"

Xingxing’s coquettish retort was drowned out by a chorus of low moans.

The room was filled with the warmth of spring, yet no one noticed the stiff figure standing beneath the window at that moment.

Dawang clenched his fists tightly, his face beginning to twitch! Father? Ha, what a ’good’ father he had! Begging for mother’s forgiveness just for that shopkeeper position. And there he was, his own son, diligently helping him to scheme against his mother!
