Chapter 280: Chapter 279: The First Step of Digging a Hole

Zhang Xiaoshan, who was riding his bike, said with a guilty conscience.

"Fight? Why on earth would my sister-in-law pick a fight with me?"

"Pfft."

Luo Meili pinched Zhang Xiaoshan’s waist.

"You think I can’t tell? A woman understands women best. Your sister-in-law likes you, she’s obviously jealous."

This comment sent a shiver of fear through Zhang Xiaoshan.

How cunning Luo Meili was!

"Don’t talk nonsense, how could that be possible with my sister-in-law?" Zhang Xiaoshan vehemently denied.

"Giggle giggle giggle."

Luo Meili laughed even more joyously.

"Do you even believe what you’re saying? You may call her ’sister-in-law,’ but she’s only a few years older than you, plus she and your brother never even officially got married, let alone consummated the marriage. It was mentioned in passing—it’s hardly a legitimate relationship as a sister-in-law."

"Moreover, every time she sees me, her eyes are full of hostility; she clearly sees me as a rival in love."

"Besides, you’re like a little brother to me. Haven’t we slept together since we were little?"

With that said, Zhang Xiaoshan found himself at a loss for words.

"Little Shan, tell me truthfully, have you already been intimate with her?" Luo Meili’s excitement grew as she spoke.

Women are naturally gossipy.

Especially about such juicy topics.

Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart pounded erratically.

Could his relationship with Yu Xiuxiu have already become that obvious?

"Meili, don’t talk nonsense, I have a clean relationship with my sister-in-law. How could we possibly have a scandal?" Zhang Xiaoshan vehemently denied.

Luo Meili’s tone suddenly became gentle.

"Little Shan, whatever happens between you and any woman, I will not be upset, especially with your sister-in-law. She has had a hard time these years. You should repay her and give her happiness; that would indeed be good."

"She’s still so young; she can’t really spend her life as a ’widow.’ If you could take good care of her, it would also provide closure."

"Don’t feel awkward because she’s your sister-in-law and worry about gossip and rumors."

"Is her lifelong happiness really less important than other people’s opinions?"

"As someone who’s been through a lot myself, only after meeting you did I realize that reputation doesn’t matter. Why care so much about it?"

"It was you who taught me what real happiness is."

"It was you who made me feel what it is to truly be a woman."

"Will you never leave me?"

Saying this, Luo Meili tightly hugged Zhang Xiaoshan’s waist, resting her head against his back, feeling so secure.

Listening to Luo Meili’s words, Zhang Xiaoshan was somewhat moved.

He nodded slightly and the two fell silent.

In a few minutes, they arrived at the village head’s ferry crossing.

At that moment, the ferryman Wang Goudan was dozing off on the boat.

"Hey, wake up, wake up, we need to cross the river."

Luo Meili jumped off the motorcycle and gently kicked Wang Goudan.

Wang Goudan was the unlucky one tricked into losing money by Wei Bao, Wu Biao, and others.

"Who, who’s that?"

Wang Goudan was startled and suddenly awoke.

When he saw it was the flamboyantly dressed Luo Meili,

Wang Goudan immediately became fully alert, his mouth watering.

"Boss Luo."

"Your clothes look really nice."

Wang Goudan sitting on the ground was about to touch Luo Meili’s thigh.

Luo Meili glared fiercely at Wang Goudan and spoke sternly,

"Do you believe I could chop off your dog paws?"

Wang Goudan shuddered with fear, realizing Luo Meili’s gentleness was solely reserved for Zhang Xiaoshan. Outside, although she might handle things smoothly and appear enthusiastic, when it came to matters of principle, she was absolutely resolute.

"Geez, you’re making such a fuss. I was just joking," Wang Goudan said, somewhat disappointed.

"If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb my sweet dreams." Wang Goudan was about to go back to sleep.

Luo Meili said,

"I need to cross the river, you row us across."

"Cross the river?"

Hearing this, Wang Goudan struck a pose.

"You know the rules of White Dragon Village as well as I do, ferry time is over; you’ll have to wait until tomorrow."

"I’m in a hurry; take me across," Wang Goudan, a slippery character familiar with lock-picking and theft, was someone Luo Meili despised.

Yet seeing Luo Meili anxious, Wang Goudan derived pleasure from it.

"I can’t help you unless you get the village chief to issue me a pass."

"You..." Luo Meili was infuriated.

"Goudan, please help me out," Zhang Xiaoshan finally spoke up.

Seated on the ground, Wang Goudan paused and turned around to look, finally noticing Zhang Xiaoshan on the motorcycle behind him.

"Oh, Little Shan!"

When he saw Zhang Xiaoshan, Wang Goudan felt uneasy.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan had recently been involved in several fights in the village, especially with tough guys like Wei Bao and Wu Biao. If he came to blows with Wang Goudan, his frail body might not hold up.

He looked at the small motorcycle Zhang Xiaoshan was riding and then at the flamboyantly dressed Luo Meili.

"Hehehe, the village rumors must be true, huh, Little Shan? You’re reaping both wealth and beauty."

Wang Goudan made a sly face.

"If all you can spit out are blunders, do you believe I’ll tear off your mouth?" Luo Meili threatened to lay hands on Wang Goudan.

Wang Goudan shrank back in fear.

Zhang Xiaoshan said,

"Brother Goudan, I don’t have time to quarrel with you. Boss Luo and I are heading to town for business; we are partners now."

"You should just let us pass; the other party is already waiting for us."

"Doing business?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Goudan immediately became intrigued.

"Little Shan, I’ve always seen you as a promising young man, and indeed, not only have you secured a government salary, but you’re also doing business now. How about helping out your brother a bit?"

"Help how?"

Hearing Wang Goudan mention money, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately brightened up.

He was still figuring out how to trap Wei Bao, Wu Biao, and their group, how to infiltrate the enemy ranks; then Wang Goudan kindly offered him a way in.
