She bent down to pick up the towel from the bathing basin and began washing her snow-white skin.
Her house consisted of three old bungalows. Her eldest son had moved out to live in the eastern room. The front part served as the living area, while the back was the kitchen. The middle room was where Zhen Yujuan and her youngest son, Li Jinliang, lived. Since her husband, Li Ke Long, worked as a night watchman at a factory in the city, it was just the two of them at home. The western room was for sleeping; Zhen Yujuan slept in the front room, while Li Jinliang occupied the back.
As for 20-year-old Li Jinliang, he was lazy and had long since dropped out of school, spending his days hanging out with some local delinquents. At that moment, he lay alone on his bed in the back room, engrossed in a yellow magazine. Suddenly, he heard a splashing sound coming from the front room, realizing that his mother was taking a bath. He quickly set down the magazine and turned to pull aside a poster on the wall to reveal a narrow gap; it turned out that the wall separating the front and back rooms was made of wooden boards.
He pressed his eyes against the crack and could see everything happening in the front room. There stood his mother, completely naked, washing her smooth white body.
He had started sneaking peeks at her bathing about a year ago; this was not his first time.
In the morning, after Zhen Yujuan and her son Li Jinliang had breakfast, he went out to find his group of friends to hang out with.
Zhen Yujuan cleaned up after breakfast and noticed that it was a nice day outside. She decided to go into her son's room to wash his blanket. As she reached for it, she spotted a magazine on the bed. Picking it up, she saw that it was filled with images of naked men and women. Her face flushed red as she thought to herself: What is wrong with this boy? She sighed, feeling helpless about her son’s behavior. He had always been disobedient since childhood and had caused her no small amount of worry over the years. She shook her head in resignation.
“Mom! Mom! Time to get up!” Hu Xiuying was awakened by her daughter Xiao Cai calling from outside the room. She glanced at the alarm clock on her bedside table and gasped; she had overslept! It was already past 7 AM. Normally, she would be up before 6 every day, but today she had slept in.
The reason for her late wake-up was that she had suffered from insomnia last night. She couldn’t fall asleep while lying in bed, preoccupied with thoughts about what happened with Xiao Lei in the woods. Unable to make sense of it all, she had even cried quietly for a while before finally drifting off around midnight.
As she got out of bed, she noticed that everyone else was having breakfast but realized that her son Xiao Lei was missing and paused for a moment in confusion.
At that moment, Xiaogang said to Xiao Zhi, “Xiao Zhi, go wake up Xiao Lei for breakfast; he has class soon.”
“Okay,” Xiao Zhi replied and went off to call Xiao Lei.
Xiao Lei sat silently with his head down, eating quietly.
Upon seeing this, Hu Xiuying recalled what had happened last night. A wave of unease washed over her, mixing anger and shame, and she hurriedly finished her meal before riding her bicycle to work.
As she entered the Paper Box Factory, Hu Zai greeted her, "Sister, why are you so late today?"
Hu Xiuying replied, "Oh, I had some things to take care of this morning, so I came a bit late." While speaking, she began assembling paper boxes. Her job was actually quite easy; she just needed to put the boxes together. However, her mind was preoccupied with thoughts.
"Sister, you seem to have something on your mind," Hu Zai observed, noticing that she was not her usual self.
Hu Xiuying quickly responded, "No, no, I'm fine."
"That's good. Can I tell you something?" Hu Zai said, blushing.
"What is it? Go ahead," Hu Xiuying urged.
Hu Zai hesitated, stammering as he struggled to find the words. "Sister, I... I want you..."
Seeing him like this made Hu Xiuying unable to hold back a laugh. "What are you stammering about? Just say it already."
With his face flushed and head lowered, Hu Zai softly said, "Sister, can you give me a chance?"
"What do you mean?" Hu Xiuying asked, confused.
"Can you spend some time with me?" Hu Zai finally mustered the courage to say it.
Hu Xiuying was taken aback, her face flushed with surprise. "What are you saying, Hu Zai? You're still just a child! I treat you like my own son, how could you say something like that?"
Hu Zai lowered his head, his face turning red from embarrassment. "But you've been with the Factory Director and Manager Wang... I thought maybe you could be with me too."
Hearing this, Hu Xiuying also lowered her head in shame. It dawned on her that Hu Zai might think she was a woman who played around with men. After all, he had seen her with the Factory Director and Manager Wang over the past few days. With this realization, she felt less angry at him.
At that moment, Hu Zai took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to her. "Sister, I know your family is short on money. You can take this for now."
Hu Xiuying was startled and quickly replied, "What are you doing? I can't take your money! Put it away!"
Hu Zai forced a smile. "Sister, don't worry. I was just joking earlier; you don't need to take it to heart. Just use this 500 yuan."
Feeling a pang of emotion, Hu Xiuying thought about how good Hu Zai was to her. She remembered she needed to pay Elder Yang 800 yuan tomorrow. Maybe it would be better to accept the money for now. With that thought, she reached out and took the cash. "Can I pay you back later?"
Seeing her accept the money, Hu Zai felt a surge of happiness and replied, "You don't need to pay me back; I really don't need it."
In truth, he said this out of kindness. At such a young age, he worked hard to earn money, but part of him also felt that if she accepted his money, she should give him something in return.
Hu Xiuying noticed his words and felt guilty. She saw how hard he worked and couldn't bring herself to take his money without any reciprocation. Looking at him seriously focused on folding paper boxes with his youthful face slightly flushed, she pondered for a moment before making up her mind. She leaned in closer and asked softly, "Hu Zai, do you really like me?"
"Um," Hu Zai replied without lifting his head, sounding shy and bashful as if he had done something wrong. Yet inside, he was overjoyed.
Seeing him so adorably shy made Hu Xiuying feel sympathy for him. He was only 19 and working alone; it was natural for him to think about women after earning some money at the factory. Nowadays, young men were all like that. If she didn't agree to him, he might seek someone else. Besides, she wasn't exactly innocent herself anymore; agreeing to him would make accepting his 500 yuan feel less guilty—a way of returning a favor.
With these thoughts in mind, she bit her lip and said to Hu Zai, "Hu Zai, I agree to be with you, but promise me you won't go around playing with other women anymore."
Hu Zai's eyes lit up as he looked up in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Really?"
"Yeah," Hu Xiuying replied with a blushing face. "Then we we," Hu Zai was so excited that he couldn't even speak. Hu Xiuying saw him like this and knew what he wanted to say, so she blushed and asked, "Is Factory Director here today?" "Oh, I'm on a business trip, not here." Hu Zai said hurriedly. Hu Xiuying rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Then why don't you go and close the door." Hu Zai was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly closed the door of the workshop. Normally, no one would enter the room where they ordered paper boxes, and there were usually only the two of them all day long, so Hu Xiuying wanted to give her body to him here. She knew that it was inconvenient for Hu Zai to share a house with others. At this time, Hu Xiuying saw Hu Zai close the door, and saw that he was standing there stupidly, not knowing what to do, so she blushed and said to him, "Why don't you take off your clothes?" Hu Zai asked her back, "What about you?" Hu Xiuying saw that he was really stupid, and blushed and smiled, "You take off your clothes first, and then I'll take them off." Hu Zai heard that and hurriedly took off all his clothes as quickly as possible, Hu Xiuying was also very embarrassed at this time. She glanced at his lower body with a red face. She saw a "" between his legs that was already full of murderous intent and was saluting her.
