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

Su Wen couldnt 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 wont do either. You have to call me when you swim in the river in the future. Do you hear me?

Yes, Ill listen to my wife.

With her husband settled, Su Wen rolled up her sleeves and gestured at the onlookers, proudly showcasing her a.s.sertiveness. Go, go. Ill make it clear today. If anyone dares to peek at my man bathing in the future, Ill be blunt with her.

A young girl, embarra.s.sed, left dejectedly, while the older ones, less sensitive to embarra.s.sment, retorted, Little Wen, look at what youre saying. Its too unpleasant. Which family doesnt 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 elses. Thats whats so despicable!

You What do you mean? I didnt.

Then why do you argue with me if you dont? Su Wen asked bluntly.

I still have work to do!

The riverbank soon emptied. After everyone had walked far away, they couldnt resist turning back for a last look. What a pity!

They couldnt 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 couldnt see clearly from afar, the Su familys son-in-laws swimming movements were truly a delight.

Now that Su Wen had exposed them, they couldnt pretend to be busy was.h.i.+ng 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 was.h.i.+ng 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 fort.i.tude 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. Youre using so much force that my clothes are going to be ruined, Su Wens heart ached as she observed. I just bought these clothes. Theyre very expensive.

If they are ruined, well get new ones.

Ill do it myself. You go swimming. I can manage.

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

Youre not feeling well. You cant touch cold water. Ill wash them.

What about the future? I cant 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 embarra.s.sed; she couldnt have her sister wash her clothes too.

Although her younger sister would secretly a.s.sist with was.h.i.+ng, Su Wen believed she could still salvage the situation..
