Happy Little Farmer

Chapter 561: Chapter 561

Yang Fan was earnestly explaining, but Zhou Wenhui was thinking about something not so earnest.

There was a seductive glimmer in her eyes as she glanced down lower on Yang Fan’s body and whispered, "Pull it out for me to check. You’ve recently been quite fateful with female ghosts, and I’m worried you’ll be curious about a cross-species romance, which might affect the rest of us."

Yang Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "Little Mother, be serious, be serious, your thoughts have strayed way off course."

"Off course? I don’t think it’s off course at all," Zhou Wenhui seriously said, "Old Shen said that some female ghosts are not only visible but also touchable. If they’re touchable, isn’t that essentially the same thing? They could be treated as a woman."

Yang Fan: ...

This bizarre logic left Yang Fan completely speechless.

He was utterly baffled.

"Little Mother, I haven’t and will never have any story with a female ghost. If I have women around, why would I try a female ghost? That’d be nonsense," Yang Fan emphatically stated.

"That’s not necessarily true, though. What if you want to try something new, some alternative thrill," Zhou Wenhui said with a smile.

Yang Fan was on the verge of becoming autistic, "Little Mother, enough is enough."

"The issue yesterday is actually quite complicated, and it involves some troubles. Old Zhou’s wife..."

Yang Fan finally steered the conversation back on topic, but Zhou Wenhui interrupted him halfway through, her face full of astonishment, "You slept with Old Zhou’s wife? Fanzi, I have to criticize you here, that wasn’t very ethical. A friend’s wife should be off-limits. In ancient times, your actions would have landed you a death by severe mutilation with water dungeon."

"Even if it’s not that scary now, if Old Zhou finds out, can you two still be friends? Can you still do business together?"

Yang Fan quickly interrupted Zhou Wenhui, "Little Mother, don’t jump to conclusions, hear me out."

"Sure, go ahead," Zhou Wenhui said.

Yang Fan: ...

"Here’s what happened," Yang Fan, drained of energy from being interrupted, said with a helpless look, "Old Zhou and his wife are divorced..."

Just as he said this, Zhou Wenhui suddenly dragged out a long "Oh," and sneakingly whispered, "Since they’re divorced, then it’s fine, you can sleep with her, it’s not a matter of ethics anymore."

"But still, be careful, try not to let Old Zhou find out. After all, she was once his wife. Even though they’re divorced, it would still be uncomfortable for Old Zhou to see you two together," she added.

"He just got divorced, and if a brother takes over immediately, it’s hard for anyone to bear."

"Little Mother!" Yang Fan cried out helplessly.

This is crazy!

Zhou Wenhui, holding back a smile, tilted her head to look at Yang Fan and said, "Alright, alright, no more interruptions. You go on, you go on."

"I don’t really feel like talking now," Yang Fan muttered lowly.

Little Mother was really messing with people’s mentality today.

Zhou Wenhu gave a faint smile, "It’s fine, there’s no need to talk about it. After all, the kids are grown now, able to go roaming and charm women. The reasons for not coming home at night don’t really matter whether we discuss them or not, knowing too much might actually be bad."

"However, if you don’t mention it, I’ll just assume you were out chatting about life with a female ghost last night, seeking thrills. I’d have to explain this to your sister-in-law and Xiao Juan, just in case you have some trouble, and it ends up falling on us."

Yang Fan was completely defeated.

He was truly compliant.

Even if he wasn’t compliant, Little Mother’s smooth tactics were just too slick.

"Hold on, hold on!" Yang Fan hurriedly said, "Little Mother, I’ll tell you, but really don’t lead me down the wrong path. It’s not what you think, nor is it that outrageous."

"Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law was proposed to by a rich second-generation. That guy has some issues, likes men, and also has a very bad reputation, involved in a lot of dark and evil deeds. His proposal, so-called, was actually to make Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law his beard."

"Obviously, Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law didn’t agree, and then she was threatened. Afterwards, she went to find Old Zhou, her ex-husband. I just happened to be at Old Zhou’s place, I’m familiar with his daughter-in-law, and then the two of us went to provide some support, that’s all there was to it."

To clear himself of any suspicions as much as possible, Yang Fan had to use Old Zhou as a shield.

Although it was a bit against his conscience, compared to the potential consequences, Yang Fan chose to act against his conscience. There weren’t any better options, this was perhaps the simplest solution.

"I see, he likes men, then he likes men, but why seek a woman?" Zhou Wenhu said with disdain, "If he didn’t succeed, he should have left it, but he even threatened her? This guy doesn’t sound like anything good, absolutely a bad coward."

"Anything bad happened at the end?" She finally showed some seriousness and asked.

Yang Fan sighed lightly, "There was trouble, and it wasn’t minor."

"That guy sent people over in the middle of the night, planning to kidnap Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law and sell her, but luckily both of us were there in time to prevent a disaster from happening."

Zhou Wenhu’s eyes immediately widened, "He really dared to do that? That guy is too insanely wicked, huh?"

"Who’s telling you?" Yang Fan nodded, "But, he has the crazy resources, coming from a powerful background with strong connections. He has done many terrible things, the police have been watching him, but there’s no sufficient evidence."

"The police’s temporary advice to Old Zhou is to be vigilant, try not to go out, and it’s very likely that the rich second generation might take further steps. So, I probably need to go over these next few days, Old Zhou has spoken up, I definitely can’t refuse."

"But like last night, if it had been Old Zhou alone, he absolutely couldn’t have handled it, there might have been life-threatening danger. I’ll stay around for a few days until there’s news from the police station, then I’ll make plans accordingly."

Zhou Wenhu’s expression was filled with intense concern, "Can’t the police send someone to protect?"

"They only suspect, Old Zhou’s daughter-in-law isn’t any key witness or something, how would they assign someone to protect her?" Yang Fan said, "This matter is just to prevent in case really something happens."

"But your ’just in case’ has already occurred." Zhou Wenhu thought for a while, then shook her head, "No, this is too dangerous. Our family just has you carrying it on, if something happens to you, it’s all over!"

"Old Zhou has helped you a lot, helping him is the right thing to do, but you can’t act recklessly. Gather more people, if you can’t find enough manpower, I’ll help you look for them. Get about eighty or ninety strong men to stay there, that will definitely be safe unless that Rich Second Dog wants a war."
