Chapter 432 Is a man's infidelity a matter of human nature or character?
Zheng Wenli was furious.
They all stood up.
Trembling, he pointed at Lu Yao: "Uncle Da Hu, I came here to tell you... this kid... oh dear, something I'm too embarrassed to say..."
Lu Yao glared at him: "Alright, stop this nonsense. You're just accusing me of sleeping with women in the militia, right? Xiao Liu Zi told me everything, saying you were badmouthing me behind my back. I didn't confront you because we work together, and you're still not done with it?"
Zheng Wenli was surprised that Lu Yao would actually speak first.
If I were to say that he slept with women, it would be exactly the same as framing him.
He was so angry that he kept saying "you" and couldn't say anything more.
Ding Dahu waved his hand angrily: "Stop stirring things up. Xiao Zheng, I know you like my Xiao Meizi, and I also like your honest and simple nature. But if you're going to act like this, it's pointless. How can you go around slandering people? Aren't you ruining that country bumpkin's future? Don't be so ruthless!"
Xie Chunfang, who was standing nearby, also advised:
"Yeah, Xiao Zheng, it doesn't matter if you've read pornographic books, you're a young man. Luckily, Tuwa is the company commander, so they can't really arrest you."
Zheng Wenli was almost in tears.
This is so unfair!
"Who the hell would read that?! Where am I supposed to get those kinds of books?! That'd get me locked up in a cowshed!"
Lu Yao laughed, "Right, don't admit it no matter who asks. Anyway, I burned all your books for you. Don't try to save face by dragging me down with you. If you didn't go around badmouthing me, would I have told anyone?"
Zheng Wenli went up and punched Lu Yao in the thigh:
"How could you be so mean! I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you're already framing me."
Lu Yao grabbed his hand:
"Xiao Zheng, don't do this. I know you like Xiao Meizi, but Xiao Meizi and I are already in a relationship. If you do this, you'll be stealing her away, and Ding Mei will look down on you for using such unscrupulous means!"
"Let go of me! Let go!"
Zheng Wenli used all his strength to shake off Lu Yao.
Seeing that both Ding Dahu and Xie Chunfang believed Lu Yao, he was so angry that he was speechless.
"Lu Yao, you're bullying me too much!"
She turned around, shed two tears, opened the door, and left.
Ding Mei and Yuan Shumei, who were listening at the door, were startled and quickly made way for him.
Zheng Wenli took a few steps, then turned back to Ding Mei and said:
"Ding Mei, believe me for once..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish a sentence, Yuan Shumei smacked his lips with a water ladle:
"Shut up! I despise gossipy men! If you want a woman, go after her yourself! Why are you slandering others? Go back to your porn books!"
"You all believe Lu Yao? You... Waaah... You're all bullying me..."
Zheng Wenli never expected that after coming all this way, no one would listen to him say a complete sentence!
Filled with grief and indignation, he turned and left.
I pushed the cart out the gate, tripped and fell twice before finally getting into the cart.
Yang Shouye's face changed when he recalled going to Yang Shouye's house during the day to complain that Lu Yao had slept with a woman.
He said if he was so capable, he should send Lu Yao to prison; if he wasn't, he shouldn't try to sow discord between him and Lu Yao.
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked out.
It's as if he, Yang Shouye, rather than Lu Yao, was the one who said he slept with women indiscriminately.
It feels like no one in the whole world believes in me.
I rode my bike out of the village.
The night was dark, the snow was white, and my grief and anger were overwhelming, so I shouted out:
The wheels turn, the icy ruts break, and the wind whips up snow, blurring the lone eye.
The shadow of the locust tree is lost, the copper bell is silent, old feelings remain, but slanderous words are like a file.
Thin! Thin! Thin!
The lamplight is scattered, the desolate fields are scattered, and a single gulp swallows the distant green mountains.
With sword drawn, he seized the prize amidst cheers and jubilation; the entire martial world believed him, but my heart remained parched.
Break! Break! Break!
Lost in his own thoughts, he looked up at the sky and sighed, and before he knew it, the car had driven into the ditch.
With him gone, Lu Yao has even more room to maneuver.
He's using the same tricks he used to deceive Zheng Shuang back then.
There's no way around it; if a man wants to play around, he has to have the ability to lie and keep the world at peace.
If Lu Yao hadn't contracted the disease and infected Zheng Shuang, she would have already accepted his philandering ways.
After Lu Yao's outburst, Ding Dahu and his wife also believed that Zheng Wenli was slandering Lu Yao because he couldn't get Ding Mei.
Yuan Shumei listened at the door and, seeing that Ding Mei also believed Lu Yao, breathed a sigh of relief.
But I feel that Lu Yao is a scary guy. He can actually turn black into white. If I were to become his wife, I'd probably be fooled to death by him.
Unfortunately, I didn't even have the chance to be fooled by him.
In fact, Lu Yao did this out of desperation.
Otherwise, if Zheng Wenli exposes it, I won't have any money left to spend.
Everyone has their own selfish motives.
He would risk his life for Ding Mei, but it would be difficult for him to remain chaste for her.
When Ding Mei saw that Zheng Wenli had also left, she returned.
He and Yuan Shumei went back to bed together.
Xie Chunfang sighed to herself:
"Sigh, this Zheng, he went all the way to send two bottles of wine, just to say a few bad things about that country bumpkin. He's really something else."
Lu Yao sighed, "Sigh, he's really gone to great lengths for Xiao Meizi."
Observing Ding Mei, it's fortunate that she didn't believe Zheng Wenli.
He felt ashamed inwardly.
Actually, I didn't necessarily want to do anything to betray Xiao Meizi, it's just that I couldn't help myself once I got into it.
I hadn't originally planned to sleep with Yuan Shumei today, but she was too proactive.
What virile young man could resist being kissed from head to toe by a beautiful woman's lips?
After finishing his drinks, Lu Yao went home to sleep.
Ding Mei and Yuan Shumei also went back to their room to sleep.
Yuan Shumei, still a little worried, asked Ding Mei:
"Little Mei, Zheng Wenli said something bad about Tuwazi, do you...believe him?"
Ding Mei smiled: "I believe it, and I don't believe it."
"What do you mean?"
"I know that Tuwazi likes to play around and take advantage of girls, but that's just a man's nature. How many men aren't philanderers? My stepmother said that there's only one kind of man who isn't a philanderer: the one who's incompetent."
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Shumei really didn't understand.
Ding Mei relayed Xie Chunfang's words to her:
"My stepmother said that every man likes to sleep with beautiful women. Those who aren't philanderers are either poor or physically unfit. Given the opportunity, even a monk would be a philanderer. It's human nature!"
"Isn't it about character?"
"Sigh, character is always judged by dogma that binds human nature. Of all evils, lust is the worst; judge by actions, not intentions. There are no men who aren't lustful; it's just a matter of how much they do. If it's done without harming one's own woman... then it's understandable."
Yuan Shumei was astonished, staring wide-eyed at Ding Mei:
"Little Mei, I never expected you to have such an open-minded attitude after only a few days of schooling. Can you accept Lu Yao doing something to betray you?"
"Haha, look how surprised you are. What's the big deal! So... tell me the truth, has that country bumpkin ever flirted with you behind your back? I won't be angry if you say yes!"
Yuan Shumei was startled.
Is this little girl trying to trick me into revealing information?
Don't be fooled:
"No, he's just a smart aleck with a sharp tongue and a liar's hand, but thankfully, I didn't give him the chance. If he tried to take advantage of me, I'd get angry!"
Seeing that Yuan Shumei was speaking seriously, Ding Mei quickly hugged her:
"No, you can talk to me, you don't have to fall out with him."
"Well, if he really dares to take advantage of me, I'll tell you."
The two girls hugged, chatted, lied to each other, and fell asleep.
Lu Yao got up quite early the next day; he was going to visit Ju Zhenghua's family in the city.
Get up and prepare some gifts.
They have plenty of rice, flour, and oil, and they can't take money, so they're planning to get some mountain produce.
Then let's go to Cao Erdan's house and exchange rice for some mountain products.
Before I even stepped outside, I heard a lot of people, both men and women, arriving at the main gate. They seemed quite excited.
