Chapter 132 Several times
The news first reached Linjiatun from a female nurse at the town's central hospital.
At noon that day, several women gathered under the crooked willow tree at the village entrance, sewing shoe soles and picking vegetables.
The sun was scorching, but that couldn't stop them from having so much free time to chat.
First, He Xiulan, who was selling tofu, mentioned that she had heard people in town talking about how a group of interns had arrived at the town's central hospital and they were short of a "model" for ten yuan a time.
He Xiulan returned with Li Ruoxue.
"What kind of model?" Widow Zhang stopped what she was doing, her eyes lighting up.
"It's just..." He Xiulan lowered her voice, looked around, "...lying there naked, so people can see."
Several women gasped in unison.
"Who is it? How shameless!" Aunt Wang slammed her vegetable basket on the ground, her voice so shrill it could pierce the sky.
He Xiulan shook her head: "I didn't hear the name clearly, but they said it was from our village and the surname was Lin."
His surname is Lin.
There are only a few households with the surname Lin in Linjiatun.
"Sister-in-law Xiulan, please stop talking." Li Ruoxue blushed and tugged at He Xiulan's clothes.
Li Ruoxue knew, of course, that the people in town were talking about her own Lin Dachun.
Li Ruoxue certainly didn't want He Xiulan to bring this gossip back to the village.
"That's not the point. The point is," He Xiulan ignored Li Ruoxue's attempts to stop her and continued speaking to the village woman, "that's the point. I've heard this man is incredibly handsome."
"What's so amazing?" Widow Zhang immediately asked curiously.
"It's that thing," He Xulan replied.
The women exchanged glances, each secretly calculating their own options.
Young? Old? Single? Or married?
"Ruoxue, is that your Dachun? Your Dachun looks like him?" Widow Zhang said.
Li Ruoxue's face turned even redder; she neither confirmed nor denied it.
The wind just picked up little by little.
At first, it was just whispers under the willow tree, like mosquitoes and flies in summer, buzzing and whimpering, neither painful nor itchy.
But by evening, when the smoke from the chimneys rose, the news had spread throughout half the village.
"Have you heard? Lin Dachun!"
"Really? No way? He's such a respectable person..."
"Serious? Look at him and Ruoxue, always staying in the room together, how serious can they be?"
"And I heard that in this sweltering heat, the two of them were naked in the cave. How shameful is that?"
"No way, given their relationship, how could they do that??"
"Ten yuan! Just strip naked and lie there for a little over an hour, and you get ten yuan. Tsk tsk, that's some money..."
"The key point isn't these things, but... now all the women in town know about it, and it's spreading like wildfire throughout the town."
"Are we women the only ones at Communication University of China?"
"Nonsense, don't you think about it? It's breathtaking, something we women dream of."
These words seemed to grow legs, following the dirt road, climbing over the low wall, and slipping into every open courtyard gate.
As the women gathered together to pick vegetables, feed chickens, and soothe children, their eyes darted toward Lin Dachun's lonely cave dwelling, but their words were like knives, each one sharper than the last.
When Lin Dachun heard these rumors, he knew that the matter could not be hidden. He was furious but there was nothing he could do.
"Lin Dachun, here are two letters from you."
As dusk fell, Lin Dachun and Li Ruoxue had already eaten dinner and were enjoying the cool air in the courtyard when the postman tossed them two letters.
Lin Dachun took the letter, glanced at it, and saw that the senders were all strangers he didn't know.
"What kind of letter is it? Which women wrote it?" Li Ruoxue asked curiously.
"It seems so, take a look." Lin Dachun handed the letter to Li Ruoxue.
"Isn't it inappropriate for me to think this way? This is your privacy," Li Ruoxue said embarrassedly.
"I won't hide anything from you, especially since this is to clarify things for myself." Lin Dachun declined, "Just you wait and see, it must have been written by those female interns in town. If it's really for the reason you mentioned, I'll reject them all."
"It's not just the women in town who are talking about you now, the women in the village alone are enough to give you a hard time." Li Ruoxue sighed. There was nothing she could do; after all, her husband, Lin Dachun, was exceptionally virile.
Others are just one man, but Lin Dachun is three times, or even five times, the size of a man.
