Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Money Makes the Devil Turn the Millstone "Aunt Sun, is that you?" Lin Fan wiped the water off his face. This woman in her forties, known in the village for her sharp tongue, was none other than the Sun Widow. Despite her age, she was quite fashionable, her face powdered and made up, wearing wide-leg pants and a little tank top that accentuated her voluptuous figure almost provocatively. "Kid, this mountain spring water is pretty cold. Washing your face with it right after exercise can easily give you a cold. Want to come over and take a hot bath at my place?" Aunt Sun, with her arms crossed, gave Lin Fan a sly look, her comment "just after exercising" carrying a hint of ambiguity. "No thanks, I’m just washing my face." Lin Fan wondered if she had heard something earlier. "Alright then. I guess this old lady can’t compete with Zhixuan’s charm. But next time, could you choose a different spot to mess around? You’ve just flattened over twenty of my corn seedlings, and it really breaks my heart." Aunt Sun didn’t hide anything. It was clear she had not only heard them but had also seen them. "Aunt Sun, I’m sorry. Let me compensate you." Lin Fan quickly pulled out two hundred yuan and handed it to the Sun Widow. She just smiled and did not take the money. "Xiao Lin, do you really think your Aunt Sun is short of cash? It’s just a few seedlings, no need for compensation. Don’t worry, I might talk a lot, but I definitely won’t blab. Besides, ever since you were a kid, you’ve always been honest, enduring continuous bullying by the folks from the Old Cai Family. Now, sleeping with his wife, you’re actually letting him off easy. If it were up to me, you should have taken Cai Kui’s wife to bed too." "That wouldn’t be revenge, that would be foolish." Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately shook his head. Cai Kui’s wife was over fifty, with a flabby body and a face full of fleshy wrinkles. Just the thought of it was nauseating, let alone getting her into bed. That would be punishing himself. "Young man, still picky, huh? Would someone like me catch your eye?" Aunt Sun walked up close to Lin Fan, deliberately swaying her ample bust. "Aunt Sun, stop joking with me." Lin Fan laughed awkwardly. Indeed, Aunt Sun had been quite a looker in her youth, certainly no less attractive than Zhu Zhixuan and Chang Wanyun. But age was a fact, and he wasn’t about to take advantage of her that easily. "You ungrateful boy. Grown up and forgotten where you came from, huh? When you were little, you used to see me, notice my large breasts, and insist on drinking my milk. If I didn’t let you, you’d cry your eyes out. I had no choice but to feed you directly, and after you were done, that wasn’t enough—you’d throw a fuss to sleep with me. I was dead tired all night because of you. And now that you’ve grown up, you despise me for being old, don’t you?" Aunt Sun’s words embarrassed Lin Fan. How could he remember such childhood incidents? It was all her making things up. Seeing that Lin Fan remained silent, Aunt Sun continued speaking. "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Since I ran into you, I’ll let you know. I heard the Old Cai Family’s elders had a secret meeting, and it was all because of your complaint that alarmed the County magistrate. They said it cut off the Old Cai Family’s connection in the government, and they definitely want to get back at you." "Oh, well let them come then. If they want, I can make a few more of the Cai Family go in." Lin Fan’s face was emotionless, not taking the matter to heart, because he had effectively dismantled the Old Cai Family’s roots in the county and they couldn’t make much of a splash. "Ever since you were young, you’ve had that courage; I knew you were going to go far." Sun Widow punched Lin Fan in the chest, continuing with the unyielding conversation which he couldn’t handle effectively, only managing an awkward smile as he walked towards his nearby home. The construction site was bustling as ever. The wooden fences that used to enclose the area had been dismantled, and several bricklayers were rebuilding them with red bricks. Multiple reserved areas were being mapped out in the courtyard for future gardening and flower cultivation. Moreover, the two-story building had its main structure finished, and the workers were starting electrical installations; even the previously broken water pipeline had been replaced. "So I’ll leave you all to your hard work then." Lin Fan took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from his car to give to the foreman, knowing that these little tokens of appreciation were unavoidable. Even if Xue Changchun was their boss, someone could skimp on materials without the untrained eye noticing. "Don’t worry about us. We just recalculated, and we guarantee completion in five days." The two hesitated for a while but finally accepted the cigarettes. Lin Fan then drove away from home, looking like he’d have to stay at the Tianhou Hotel in town for the next few days. Back at the hotel, Mr. Xue’s secretary was already waiting for him. She respectfully handed over a stack of documents to Lin Fan, then led him to a suite on the seventh floor, which not only had a bedroom but also a reception area and a study, equipped with a brand-new computer. "Mr. Xue has ordered that this room be reserved for you from now on. You can contact me anytime if you need anything, and the restaurant has been informed that you can order meals at any time." The female secretary respectfully handed over her business card before turning to leave. Meanwhile, Lin Fan sat at the mahogany desk in the study, looking at the luxurious decorations around him. If this hotel were in a busy city, the cost per night would definitely start from a few thousand yuan, yet now it served as his everyday abode. The reservoir seen outside the window shimmered, and the construction of the water park was progressing rapidly. He believed it wouldn’t be long before Lotus Town underwent significant changes. If he could secure a position here, his career in officialdom would undoubtedly flourish. However, he really needed to get busy now, since crafting the report on developing Fengqing Town in Lotus Town was not an easy task. Of course, for someone with Lin Fan’s literary skill, this was no challenge, but he needed to make a good impression this time. As the tapping of the computer filled the room, Lin Fan delved into his work, crafting his well-informed article with obvious pleasure. Before he realized, night had fallen, and Wanyun had already walked in with dinner, thoughtfully pouring him a cup of coffee afterward. Late into the night, Lin Fan lay on Wanyun’s clean thighs, enjoying her delicate hands massaging his head. Days accompanied by a beauty were naturally the happiest. Wanyun, sincerely affectionate, treated him relentlessly well, and the loving massage soon evolved into a passionate embrace. As Lin Fan held his head, enjoying being catered to by Wanyun curled up beneath him, his mother suddenly called. Lin Fan quickly answered, "Mom, what’s up?" "Your aunt and uncle have found you a girlfriend. Come to the County Hospital tomorrow so everyone can meet. If you think it’s fine, we could have the wedding before the end of the year."
