Chapter 128

Zhong Ruyi rushed to the small river at the entrance of the village, and sure enough, he saw several people soaking in the river, all without wearing shirts.

There were many aunties, grandmas, and grandfathers standing by the river with wooden buckets or basins. There was a fishing net under their feet. The fish had been put into the wooden buckets brought by the aunties, and they were waiting to be divided after all the fish were caught.

She looked around and finally saw Chen Dongzhi near the center of the river. Next to him, three body lengths away, was her third brother.

"Third brother!" She waved at Zhong Lao San.

It’s not that she didn’t want to say hello to Chen Dongzhi, but there were so many people by the river and if word got out, who knows what others would say about them behind their backs.

She could only secretly nod slightly to Chen Dongzhi who was looking at her.

Zhong Laosan was soaking in the water, pulling the fishing net in his hand. When he heard his sister's voice, he immediately looked up and saw his sister standing on the shore looking at him. He couldn't help but smile, showing his big white teeth.

They were a bit far away, and Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips. He originally felt a bit cold, but now his whole body was burning with heat.

Soon, a fishing net full of fish was pulled up by several people in an orderly manner. Those who went into the river were all strong men from the village, and they were all shirtless.

Nowadays, people have to work in the fields, and everyone has muscles on their bodies. Some of the older wives and sisters-in-law blushed and dared not look at them anymore.

Zhong Ruyi didn't care at all and just looked openly, but she only looked at her third brother and Chen Dongzhi.

I didn't expect that Chen Dongzhi didn't look like a person with big muscles when she usually wore clothes, but as soon as she took off these clothes, she instantly looked like a muscular person.

When Zhong Laosan saw his sister looking at him, he raised his hands to show her his arm muscles, which made the aunts standing beside her talk a lot.

"The food at Old Zhong's is really good. Look at the flesh on the body of their third son. Not a single bit of it is wasted!"

Another aunt said, "I see, this kid from the Chen family is not bad. If he gets married, he will torment his wife to death, right?"

Zhong Ruyi was very upset. How did these aunties end up diverting the topic to this point?

but.

She looked at Chen Dongzhi's six-pack abs, and then at his pants which were particularly tight to his skin after he got into the water.

She couldn't help blushing.

At this time, a sharp voice came, "What's so good about it? The Chen family kid has scars all over his body, not as white as my waiter's."

Zhong Ruyi frowned and looked over. These words were said by an aunt with a round face. She seemed easy to get along with, but what she said was not so pleasant.

Just as she was about to speak, an aunt spoke first, "Old Tian family, your Tian Er is a soft flesh, he works very hard, is this good?"

Another aunt took over and said, "That's right, don't you think you are unhappy just because we only praised the third son of the Zhong family and the young man of the Chen family?"

"Let me tell you! The scars on the Chen family kid's body are from defending his country on the battlefield. If it were your Tian Er, he would have been scared to death long ago, right?"

"That's right! What do they call it? Oh! This is called bringing honor to the family! Their scars are valuable! They were given to protect the people. Instead of thanking them, you are still pointing fingers here. How can you be so embarrassed? You keep saying nasty things all day long!"

Auntie Tian was so angry that she was shaking. "Mr. Wu, I didn't offend you. I just told you the truth. Do you have to chase me and scold me like this?"

Aunt Wu put her hands on her hips and said, "What's the matter? Are you telling the truth? I think you are jealous of others!"

"Why am I jealous of him? How can you say that with your eyes open?"

The two aunts started arguing, attracting everyone nearby to look over here.

Zhong Ruyi carefully took a few steps back to avoid accidentally hurting herself.

As a result, her action attracted the attention of two aunts who were arguing with each other.

They both turned their eyes at the same time, "Old Zhong, you tell me! Who do you think is prettier?"

Zhong Ruyi only hated herself for not being careful enough and how she got caught up in such a storm.

She blinked and said, "I think Aunt Wu is right. If we go to the battlefield, of course, people like Brother Dongzhi will be the most powerful!"

Auntie Tian was unhappy, "You didn't see that the boy from the Chen family has scars all over his body! If he took off his clothes to marry his wife, it would be so scary!"

Zhong Ruyi felt that these scars were not ugly at all, but rather had a kind of wild beauty.

Moreover, these are some of the contributions Chen Dongzhi has made for Dazhao and the people over the years. He is still considered lucky, as he only has scars on his body. Many soldiers cannot even return home, and have dedicated their entire lives to this country.

What's wrong with a hero like this having scars on his body?

She said seriously, "Aunt, Brother Dongzhi is just like the other people who fought on the battlefield. They are all people who deserve respect. Without them, how could we have such a good life today?"

"Have you forgotten that the imperial court sent troops to suppress the chaos on the border a few years ago? Have you forgotten how many good men of Dazhao died in that incident? Without them defending the country, how could we have the peace and prosperity we have today?"

Aunt Wu agreed, "You only said that the scars on the Chen family boy's body were scary, but how could you know how many soldiers of our Dazhao died on the border?"

Aunt Tian was so depressed by their words that she couldn't even raise her head. She also knew that she had gone too far.

Before the young man from the Chen family went to serve in the army and had not returned, the Chen family lived an ordinary life and sometimes even needed help from others. Now that the young man from the Chen family is back, the Chen family's life has become prosperous.

She was just feeling a little sour and just said it casually, but she didn't expect to be scolded in such a way in front of her.

She curled her lips, "I know, I know. From now on, he will be the greatest contributor to our Xinghua Village, okay? Go away, I have to go divide the fish."

After saying that, he quickly slipped to the front, looking as if he was running away.

Aunt Wu was still muttering that she would scold her again next time. Her mouth was harder than a duck!

Zhong Ruyi smiled with her eyes curved, "Aunt, thank you for speaking up for Brother Dongzhi."

Aunt Wu waved her hands, "What's the big deal? We're all from the same village! Besides, what I said was true. If my boys dared to go to the front line to fight like him, I would be so proud!"

Moreover, this boy from the Chen family is handsome. His family just happens to have a little daughter who is not married yet and is exactly eighteen years old.

I'll have to go find Chen's mother some other day to ask for advice. It would be best if this marriage could be successful.

After all, this kid from the Chen family can hunt and farm. Isn’t he much better than the young men in the village?

Hunting can make money. I heard before that the kid from the Chen family would occasionally kill a deer or two roe deer and bring them to town to sell, which was hard cash.

By then, maybe the Wu family will be able to benefit from their daughter, and they won’t have to worry about having meat to eat anymore!
