(A loud plea for monthly votes! Brothers and sisters, if anyone has monthly votes, please vote for me! I'm thanking you again... Gas prices are high right now... Hehehe...)

The gurgling hot spring water and the rising steam made the entire room stuffy and humid.

"Why aren't you leaving yet??? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself???" Zheng Dahan closed his eyes tightly, trying hard to control his tear ducts and prevent the tears from flowing out.

"Hmm! I want to see if you want to commit suicide or self-harm..." Yang Ming sat on the edge of the wooden pool, his shoes off, his feet comfortably soaking in the water.

"I will not commit suicide, much less harm myself..." Zheng Dahan said coldly.

"Oh..." Yang Ming nodded, but his body remained as still as a rock.

"You can go now..." Zheng Dahan said.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded again, his body remaining as still as a mountain.

"I know what you mean. I may be illiterate, but I'm not stupid..." A tear finally rolled down Zheng Dahan's cheek. Once the tear started, it flowed like a broken string of pearls, unstoppable. "Brother Yang, I know, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I... I really can't do it. I can't stop thinking about her..."

"Even if you can't do it, you have to do it. A man has to be tough on himself..." Yang Ming's face was cold and hard, and his tone was even more forceful.

"I can promise I won't see her again, but can I dream about her?" Zheng Dahan was really stupid to say something so silly.

"Get married, settle down. She's not the woman you should be thinking about..." Yang Ming sighed. "When you're thinking about her, think about your brother. He was eaten by wolves, became their excrement, leaving behind a widow and an orphan..."

"Brother..." Thinking of the deceased Zheng Dazhi, Zheng Dahan was immediately filled with shame and wanted to commit suicide, and his tears flowed even more.

"That's right. If Zheng Dazhi were alive, he would know that his good brother is thinking about his wife, and even taking pride in getting her pregnant..." Yang Ming's words were too harsh. Every word was like a knife, cutting into Zheng Dahan's heart.

"Brother... I'm so sorry, brother..." Zheng Dahan felt more and more ashamed as he thought about it, and finally burst into tears.

"Phew..." Yang Ming let out a long breath. Although Zheng Da Han was crying his heart out, he could hear a hint of relief in his sobs. He knew that his strong medicine had really worked. However, he also secretly despised himself, "From now on, I should be called Brother Strong Medicine..."

"Alright, stop crying..." Yang Ming said, looking at Zheng Dahan.

"I'm a beast..." Zheng Dahan cried even harder.

"We all know that Aunt Liu is a beautiful woman, a very beautiful woman. Everyone who sees her will inevitably have some thoughts about her. There are only the two of us here. Tell me the truth, if Aunt Liu could marry you, would you really marry her?" Yang Ming said in a low voice.

"No..." Zheng Dahan said firmly.

"Is that the truth??? You didn't say that just because you were thinking about your brother???" Yang Ming asked.

"It's the truth..." Zheng Dahan said firmly.

"You say you're thinking about her, but you're not marrying her. What's going on?" Yang Ming's face showed an exaggerated look of confusion.

"I don't know, I just keep thinking about her, like..." Zheng Dahan choked up, at a loss for words.

"Like guarding a sacred object, or worshipping a deity?" Yang Ming murmured.

"Yes, that's it..." Zheng Dahan's eyes lit up as he said.

"Now, have you come to terms with it?" Yang Ming asked.

"I've figured it out, I've figured it out..." Zheng Dahan couldn't help but burst into tears again.

In fact, once you open up, you'll understand. If you keep it to yourself, no matter how clearly you think it through, you'll never gain your own approval.

"Okay, you can soak in there for a while. I'm going back to our family's hot spring. Your sister-in-law is waiting for me..." Yang Ming said, standing up and walking out of the house towards his backyard without even putting on his shoes.

"Sister-in-law???? Which sister-in-law???" Zheng Dahan watched Yang Ming leave, and only after Yang Ming's figure disappeared for a while did he suddenly realize that the "sister-in-law" Yang Ming had mentioned was rather ambiguous. This "sister-in-law" could refer to Wei Qingqing or Aunt Liu, which made him conflicted: Could it be that his sister-in-law really got together with Brother Yang???

Yang Ming walked towards the back garden and ran into Sun Fangfang, who was waiting for him. She wanted to tell him something before going to Liu Family Village.

"Brother, it's all my fault..." Thinking of the "ice fall incident" that had just happened, Sun Fangfang couldn't help but shed tears again. The scene was still frightening to think about.

(Speaking of which, when I was a child, I once fell into an ice hole. At the time, I wasn't scared at all, but now, thinking back on it, oh my god, it really gave me the creeps...)

"Why are you crying? Don't you trust your brother?" Yang Ming wiped away Sun Fangfang's tears and comforted her.

"I'm sorry..." Sun Fangfang said, choking back tears.

"What do you mean 'sorry'? It's my own fault for not being able to stand properly and falling in. It has nothing to do with you. It's all my fault for making the hole too big..." Yang Ming said.

Waaaaaah...

Sun Fangfang felt increasingly guilty, especially since Yang Ming didn't blame her at all and kept comforting her. This made her feel deeply moved at the same time, and her nose tingled. She couldn't help but throw herself into Yang Ming's arms and burst into tears.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go have a good reunion with your parents. It's been a year since you've had a proper get-together..." Yang Ming patted Sun Fangfang's shoulder.

"Mmm..." Sun Fangfang nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

"Don't let anyone in Liu Family Village know about me falling into the ice hole," Yang Ming suddenly said. He had to tell his parents beforehand, otherwise they would be scared to death.

Of course, since the two villages are cooperating to run agritourism businesses and are relatively close, such a big thing can't be kept secret. However, the longer it drags on, the less worried the parents will be. There is definitely a difference in the terrifying effect between saying "My son just fell into an ice hole" and saying "My son fell into an ice hole three days ago."

"I know..." Sun Fangfang wiped away her tears and said.

"Alright...go ahead..." Yang Ming patted the top of her head.

"Hmm..." Sun Fangfang nodded repeatedly.

After seeing Sun Fangfang off, Yang Ming went to the back garden.

"What did you say to Zheng Dahan?" Yang Ming had just entered the hot spring valley when he was met with Liu Sao's scolding voice.

"Huh? Nothing happened??? I didn't say anything..." Yang Ming quickly denied.

"You still want to deny it? I heard everything..." Aunt Liu said coquettishly.

"What...what did you hear???" Yang Ming asked.

The next moment, Aunt Liu appeared in front of him wrapped in a bath towel, her small face flushed, and her beautiful eyes filled with endless shyness.

"You said I slept in your bed yesterday..." Aunt Liu said sweetly.

"I'm telling the truth, aren't I?" Yang Ming scratched his head and said.

"That can't be said either..." This time it was Wei Qingqing who spoke.

The next moment, a white shadow flashed, and Wei Qingqing, also wrapped in a bath towel, appeared in front of him, her pretty little face full of anger.

"Well, it was just a casual chat with Zheng Dahan..." Yang Ming said with an awkward smile.

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing glared at Yang Ming, "By doing this, aren't you indirectly telling everyone that you and Aunt Liu are having an affair, that you've already accepted Aunt Liu?"

"Hehe, how could that be???" Yang Ming's face showed a bitter expression.

"Hmph, Wei Qingqing... Yang Ming did accept me, but don't you know whether that affair happened or not? Don't make me take the blame..." Aunt Liu, who was listening from the side, was unhappy.

"Did I wrong you? You two are definitely in a relationship..." Wei Qingqing said, hands on her hips.

"I didn't say we weren't related, but we definitely didn't have that kind of relationship..." Mrs. Liu reiterated.

"Hmph, whether it is or not, you know perfectly well in your heart..." Wei Qingqing retorted stubbornly.

"You're being quite ambiguous, Wei Qingqing. I'm asking you now, do Yang Ming and I really have that kind of relationship? If you say yes, I'll have that kind of relationship with Yang Ming right now..." Aunt Liu said.

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing snorted, without saying a word.

"I just realized that you two are really incompatible according to your zodiac signs. Why do you always fight when you meet? You weren't like this before!" Yang Ming was speechless.

"This isn't my fault, it's your wife, Sister Wei, who's being unreasonable..." Aunt Liu said with a smile.

"I'm being unreasonable? You really know how to talk. If I were being unreasonable, would I offer up my husband???" Wei Qingqing's face turned red with anger.

"Hey, you need to take responsibility for your words. What do you mean you offered your husband up? It's clearly that Yang Ming and I are in love. Have you forgotten that's what Yang Ming told Zheng Dahan..." Aunt Liu laughed.

"Yes..." Wei Qingqing stared at Yang Ming, her eyes flashing with cold light.

"Uh..." Yang Ming's tongue also felt a bit short, "It was just a temporary measure, Zheng Dahan and I were just... just joking around..."

"But I took it seriously..." Aunt Liu leaned closer and hugged Yang Ming's arm affectionately.

"Honey, I'll say three, then pull your arm out of my hand..." Wei Qingqing's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"You don't need to count, I've let go..." Aunt Liu smiled and released Yang Ming's arm. But just as Wei Qingqing paused, Aunt Liu grabbed Yang Ming's arm again. "I'm holding on again, you start counting now..."

"Sister Liu, I'll fight you to the death..." Wei Qingqing realized that Sister Liu was just teasing her, and she pounced on Sister Liu in a fit of rage.

"Hehe, can't catch her..." Aunt Liu chuckled, circling around Yang Ming and avoiding Wei Qingqing.

"I'm so angry..." Wei Qingqing's face turned black with anger, and she kept yelling.

"Alright, stop it. You two are natural enemies. You always bicker when you're together..." Yang Ming pulled Wei Qingqing, who was about to chase after Aunt Liu, into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"I'm jealous too, you hug me too..." Aunt Liu stopped running away and happily snuggled into Yang Ming's arms, enjoying his embrace.

The bathrobes weren't made of very thick fabric, and the two women, nestled in Yang Ming's arms, rubbed their curvaceous figures against him without any reservation.

"Alright, you two, just give me a break. You're making me dizzy..." Yang Ming said.

"Hmph, you're still dizzy from all the spinning? You're just so happy you're dizzy!" Wei Qingqing said sweetly, tilting her head up.

"Holding two beauties on either side, aren't you allowed to be overjoyed?" Aunt Liu said, rubbing her little head back and forth on Yang Ming's shoulder.

"Hmph, of the two beauties, one is old enough to be called an old beauty..." Wei Qingqing sneered.

"Who are you calling an old beauty..." Aunt Liu's face turned red with anger. She got out of Yang Ming's arms, put her hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Wei Qingqing.

"I didn't mention your name, why are you so guilty?" Wei Qingqing chuckled.

"My God, can you two just shut up for a second???" Yang Ming's vision went black, so he simply ignored the two women and walked straight inside. He still wanted to soak in the hot spring; his body was still feeling a bit unwell.

"Look, you've driven our husbands away!" Aunt Liu glared at Wei Qingqing.

"You're the one who ran away in anger, okay???" Wei Qingqing glared back defiantly.

"I think you want to keep fighting with me forever?" Aunt Liu said.

"Of course, for a woman who always tries to snuggle into my husband's arms, I think I have to fight her to the end..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Hmph..." Aunt Liu snorted twice, "Then you'd better watch out, or one day Yang Ming will divorce you and marry me..."

"Okay, I'll wait for that day..." Wei Qingqing grinned at Aunt Liu.

The two bickered as they walked towards the hot spring valley.

"Oh my... this world has changed... even wives and mistresses can be at peace with each other now..." Suddenly, a voice with a hint of conspiracy rang out, and a slender figure slowly appeared in the hot spring valley.

The figure was wearing a thermal undershirt, her full breasts straining against the fabric as if about to burst. She held a black winter coat in front of her as she looked at Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu.

"Phoenix???" Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu were both surprised and exclaimed in unison.

"Hehe, after listening for so long, I didn't expect that Aunt Liu would finally take that step. Actually, it was within our expectations..." Zhang Fenghuang laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense! What do you mean 'as expected'??? What did you expect???" Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, grabbed Wei Qingqing's arm, and said.

"I knew you and Yang Ming would actually end up together..." Zhang Fenghuang chuckled. "Tell me, how strong is Yang Ming? How many times does he do it in one night??? Can he handle two wolves like you by himself???"

"Look at what you're saying. Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. We only have one wolf here, where did you get any tigers or wolves?" Wei Qingqing chuckled.

"Are you asking for a beating???" Aunt Liu was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground, but her little hands were secretly playing tricks on Wei Qingqing's bottom, pinching it lightly.

"Hiss..." Wei Qingqing glared at Liu Sao with dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything. Now was the time to unite against a common enemy, so she and Liu Sao naturally formed an alliance to fight against Zhang Fenghuang together.

Imagine if Zhang Fenghuang and Yang Ming were together again...

Does that mean my husband is now public property? Wei Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about it.

"I've noticed that the relationship between the two of you is a bit strange..." Zhang Fenghuang said suddenly, looking the two women up and down with a smile.

"Hmm?" The two women exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"I've been listening for a while now, and you two are truly natural enemies. It's like you two can't stand each other. How do I describe this feeling? Arguing? No, flirting? No… flirting? Yes, flirting. You two are like a married couple flirting…" Zhang Fenghuang analyzed the current relationship between the two women from an observer's perspective.

"Did I hear that right???" Wei Qingqing's mouth dropped open.

"Tch, don't listen to her nonsense..." Aunt Liu said dismissively, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy inside. Thinking about it carefully, she and Wei Qingqing really did have a bit of a flirtatious way of putting it, as if she were Wei Qingqing's wife and the child in her belly was Wei Qingqing's.

"You're all blinded by your own involvement. Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Since Aunt Liu beat me to the punch as the mistress, I'll go be Yang Ming's fourth mistress. Luckily, Lily didn't come, otherwise I would have to be the fifth mistress..." Zhang Fenghuang said, walking towards the hot spring valley. As she walked quickly, her large breasts bounced constantly, clearly indicating that she wasn't wearing any underwear.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense..." The two women exchanged a glance and quickly chased after Zhang Fenghuang.

After entering the hot spring valley, Yang Ming went straight into the wooden house. However, when he came out to soak in the hot spring, there were already three beautiful women in the hot spring pool. In addition to Wei Qingqing and Aunt Liu, there was another beautiful woman wearing an autumn coat. The autumn coat was wet and clung tightly to her body, leaving no part of her body uncovered.

"My God..." Yang Ming exclaimed in surprise, thankfully he didn't immediately take off his pants.

"You're too kind... Don't call me Mom, just call me Sister..." Zhang Fenghuang said with a smile.

"Phoenix, when did you arrive?" Yang Ming asked.

"Just arrived, huh? You're asking a question you already know the answer to..." Zhang Fenghuang lay comfortably at the bottom of the pool. "Let me tell you, I'm here to be your fourth mistress. Since you've already made Aunt Liu your third mistress, you can't refuse to be my fourth..."

"I've discovered that women these days are all crazy..." Yang Ming rolled his eyes and quickly left. Since there was now another woman here, he, a grown man, couldn't stay here any longer. Since he couldn't stay here, he would go home and rest on the kang (heated brick bed).

"Hehehehe..." Watching Yang Ming's retreating figure, Zhang Fenghuang laughed happily. "This is the Yang Ming I know. I thought that after not seeing him for more than a month, our stinking farmers had become some kind of worthless person..."

"I want to beat you up..." Yang Ming's voice came from behind.

"Be careful, your wife and Aunt Liu have some improper relationship. Be careful Aunt Liu doesn't steal your wife away..." Zhang Fenghuang said.
