Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Jealous Sister-in-Law

Zhou Wenhui looked at Xiao Yuan snuggling up to Yang Fan, her slightly perky buttocks pressed heavily against Yang Fan’s arm, and suddenly let out a sinister chuckle as she said, "There’s much to be said about why that person would do such a thing. What do you think, why would those little ghosts harm people?"

Xiao Yuan shook her head blankly.

She had never heard of such a thing; how would she know?

"Those little ghosts, they don’t just harm anyone." Zhou Wenhui laughed, "People with private moral debts, those who act improperly, they are their prime targets, most likely to provoke such evil spirits. There’s an old saying, if you don’t do anything to cause guilt, you won’t fear ghosts knocking at your door. If your character is too rotten, not to mention walking at night, those little ghosts really might knock on your door in the dead of night."

"There was someone in this village who used to blabber without filter, often stealing onions from one household and garlic from another, and would act unreasonable when caught. Later, he even stole offerings from the temple, and since then suddenly developed a crooked mouth and slanted eyes."

"He didn’t take it seriously, thinking he had a stroke, and sought medical advice everywhere but never got better. Eventually, after consulting a divination, he found the cause. It turned out he had been constantly ridden by two little ghosts, one squeezing his face, another pressing his head, so naturally, his face never returned to normal."

Xiao Yuan shivered uncontrollably and hurriedly snuggled closer into Yang Fan’s embrace, her perky buttocks pressing tightly against Yang Fan’s leg, so much that the soft fullness almost suffocated Yang Fan.

With everyone dressed quite thinly due to the weather, their close contact felt almost like skin on skin.

This unintentionally sent Yang Fan’s mind racing.

"Auntie, you, you... better stop talking about it. I keep feeling like someone is blowing in my ear," Xiao Yuan said tremulously, shivering with nerves.

Zhou Wenhui looked sternly at the top of Xiao Yuan’s head and said in a deep voice, "We’re not clear about your daily conduct, but you coming to the mountain so late might have really attracted something. Those beings, they have really bad tempers. You might have angered them with just a few careless words."

"In my opinion, if you have the time tomorrow, you should still go and inquire at the temple. In case you attracted something you shouldn’t have, you’re going to suffer in the future."

"Ah..." Xiao Yuan let out a shriek and subconsciously tried to jump onto Yang Fan but was held down by him.

Privately, she had done this before, and Yang Fan not only didn’t mind but also quite enjoyed it.

But now, in front of Little Mother and sister-in-law, it was a bit embarrassing.

If sister-in-law got jealous, that would be even worse.

In fact, even this current posture was a bit too clingy.

"Little Mother, stop trying to scare her. There’s nothing so supernatural, let’s just go home," Yang Fan said.

Zhou Wenhui glanced at Xiao Yuan’s head again with a full grave expression and said meaningfully, "Well, Fanzi, you can’t be too sure about that. Some taboos are really there."

"If you’ve done something wrong, I think it’s better to be a bit cautious to avoid affecting the rest of us. It doesn’t hurt to be a little more careful."

That look nearly scared Xiao Yuan to death.

She huddled in Yang Fan’s arms, her body trembling so noticeably that Yang Fan could even feel Xiao Yuan’s clear heartbeat, making her perky buttocks quiver.

Yang Fan was very aware that Little Mother was just trying to frighten Xiao Yuan. There certainly were superstitious things in the world, but those two incidents she mentioned were utterly unfounded; he had never heard of them at least.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s get home quickly," Yang Fan said, shaking his head.

"Remember to tell us right away if you feel unwell, Xiao Yuan. You can’t neglect these matters," Zhou Wenhui cautioned once more.

Xiao Yuan nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken. She was so scared that she looked pale, her eyes lifeless, simply clinging desperately to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan shook his head in resignation.

Little Mother was obviously venting for him, deliberately trying to frighten others. Even if he explained now, Xiao Yuan probably wouldn’t believe him.

It would be better to wait until tomorrow to talk about it. Maybe after resting a bit, she’d forget all these things.

Ye Tong followed beside Yang Fan, her gaze covertly sizing up Xiao Yuan now and then, and comparing her own figure, her eyes filled with a touch of gloom and irritation.

At the doorway of the home, they met up with Wei Juan and Fourth Aunt.

Seeing Xiao Yuan, whose little face had turned deathly pale with fright, Fourth Aunt rushed over, bursting into a fit of sobbing.

Ye Tong nudged Yang Fan with her shoulder and muttered softly, "Although not her biological child, the mother-daughter bond looks deep, huh? It’s just that the old mother clearly cares more than the daughter."

"Not her biological child?" Yang Fan was somewhat surprised.

Ye Tong nodded, "I’m not very clear on the details. That’s what Xiao Yuan blurted out herself. You wouldn’t be happy to hear that, would you?"

Yang Fan suddenly felt confused, "Why would I be happy to hear such a thing?"

"Not being her biological child, doesn’t that mean you can have your way with her without any scruples?" Ye Tong said with a slight frown and a sour tone.

Yang Fan couldn’t help but laugh in a resigned way, "Sister-in-law, so you’re jealous? She was just scared and acted that way. There’s no way anything else could happen between us. I couldn’t help it; she clung to me as soon as I pushed her away. Don’t take it seriously, it was just an exceptional circumstance."

"Oh really? With a few more ’exceptional circumstances’ like this, you two could end up without clothes, sticking together that way," Ye Tong huffed lightly, "Look at her delicate little figure, petite and cute, I’m a woman and I like it myself. Now look at me, my pelvic bones are much larger than hers; there’s simply no comparison!"

Yang Fan felt like he wanted to die right there.

Whatever he feared most had come to pass!

He had been worried about such misunderstandings when Xiao Yuan was clinging onto him earlier.

And now it had happened, just as expected.

Turning his head to look at his sister-in-law squarely, Yang Fan said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, it’s your figure that I consider the most perfect in my eyes; no one else measures up for me."

Ye Tong rolled her eyes, "You don’t like her tiny and exquisite figure?"

Yang Fan immediately shook his head, asserting firmly, "It’s not about liking a certain type of figure; it’s only you that I like!"

"That sounds insincere," Ye Tong huffed. "Only liking me means that you don’t like my figure, right? Isn’t that called avoiding the important issue? You indeed prefer that kind of petite figure. But, I like it too. It must be easy to hold and manage, any position could probably work. Unlike me, just good for a fondle like this; no wonder no one likes it."

Yang Fan: ...

"Sister-in-law, so tonight is an ’exceptional circumstance’? We already had a chaotic scene earlier, how could that possibly happen!"

Yang Fan felt so withdrawn, suddenly at a loss of how to explain himself.

No matter what he said, it all seemed wrong.

It was quite disheartening.
