Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but swallow.
If this were in the past, he would have been in a panic, but after experiencing so much, Lin Xiao Tian was no longer so nervous as to make a fool of himself.
"Auntie Gui Hua, what do you want me to agree to?"
Li Gui Hua scanned Lin Xiao Tian from head to toe, then said with a smile:
"What do you think I want?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a soft touch brushed against Lin Xiao Tian's neck.
Li Gui Hua's index finger slowly traced his skin, her face exuding a seductive charm.
Although Li Gui Ying was forty years old, she was still full of allure, her skin exceptionally good, and she exuded a mature aura that young women like Qin Yu Xiang could never possess.
Even with Lin Xiao Tian's strong self-control, his heart couldn't help but pound.
"Auntie Gui Hua, if the village head sees you're not home late at night, won't he be worried to death?"
Lin Xiao Tian had intended to use this to restrain Li Gui Hua, but to his surprise, she showed no panic at all upon hearing his words; instead, she appeared incredibly composed.
"Him? He went to a meeting in town yesterday and won't be back until noon tomorrow at the earliest. You don't need to worry."
Lin Xiao Tian was stunned.
What did she mean he didn't need to worry?
That wasn't what he was trying to say at all!
But at this moment, Li Gui Hua was getting closer and closer to him.
Feeling the fragrance wafting towards him, Lin Xiao Tian felt as if countless bees were buzzing in his head.
"How about it? Come to my place for a while? Auntie can make you something to eat?"
"This... I don't think so? Auntie, I need to go back and rest now!"
"You can rest at home, and you can rest at my place. Don't worry, Auntie knows how to take care of someone better than Yu Xiang."
Seeing Li Gui Hua becoming increasingly bold, Lin Xiao Tian felt helpless.
But he had already been exhausted by Zhang Cui Hua, and he was in a state of post-coital exhaustion, utterly lacking any desire.
"Auntie, Yu Xiang is home alone, and I'm worried. I should go back now."
"You're not disgusted with Auntie, are you?" Li Gui Hua suddenly asked.
"No, no, no, Auntie, don't think too much," Lin Xiao Tian waved his hands hastily to explain.
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's flustered look, Li Gui Hua chuckled.
"You little rascal, daring to sneak into a widow's house late at night, and you're afraid of a married woman like me?"
"Don't worry, Auntie won't eat you. Auntie has something serious to discuss with you."
"Something serious?" Lin Xiao Tian was skeptical.
"A few days ago, I overheard Li De Ping and Cao Yun Tian contacting each other," Li Gui Hua suddenly said.
Lin Xiao Tian's expression changed completely.
"Auntie, are you sure you're not joking?"
"Absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I can let you listen to the recording."
Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback, "You have a recording?"
"Of course, do you want to hear it?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
Li Gui Hua said nothing, but instead beckoned him with a seductive gesture and walked forward.
Lin Xiao Tian wanted to know what Li De Ping and Cao Yun Tian had discussed, so he followed.
Li Gui Hua swayed with each step, and soon, they arrived at Li De Ping's cement house.
Jinsha Village wasn't large, and Li Gui Hua's house was also close to Zhang Cui Hua's, only separated by a small slope.
Li Gui Hua led Lin Xiao Tian into the house and then began rummaging through cabinets and drawers.
Lin Xiao Tian sat by and waited. Casually, he turned his head and saw the view outside the window.
He hadn't expected that from here, Zhang Cui Hua's house would be so clear. If one was inclined, monitoring Zhang Cui Hua would be no problem at all.
No wonder Li Gui Hua could discover him entering Zhang Cui Hua's house; it turned out she had the advantage of time and location.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian was lost in thought, Li Gui Hua's voice called out from the side.
"Found it."
Li Gui Hua said, pulling out an old feature phone.
Not many people in Jinsha Village used smartphones, as they were fragile and easily damaged during farm work.
However, what puzzled Lin Xiao Tian was that Li Gui Hua didn't do much work herself, and her financial situation was decent, yet she still used such an old phone.
"You recorded this with this phone?" Lin Xiao Tian was astonished.
Li Gui Hua nodded.
"Can this record anything?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
He knew about these old phones; their durability was an advantage, but their other functions were lacking. He couldn't imagine what could be heard from a recording made with such a phone.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate it just because it's an old phone. I'm telling you, I have clearly recorded who Li De Ping has contacted over the years and what they discussed. For example, I even know about the things he did with some wild woman!" Li Gui Hua said, casting a meaningful glance at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian immediately understood.
He naturally knew who Li Gui Hua was referring to – it was Zhang Xue Fen from before, wasn't it?
But Lin Xiao Tian hadn't expected Li Gui Hua to know all of this.
"Auntie Gui Hua, you know everything?"
"Of course!"
"Then how... can you still tolerate Li De Ping?"
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's question, Li Gui Hua's eyes dimmed.
"How can I still tolerate him?"
"I'm an aging woman with no children. What else can I do but tolerate him?"
"Divorce Li De Ping, and then have my family beat him half to death?"
"That would vent some anger, but it wouldn't be satisfying enough. I still feel like Li De Ping got off easy."
Li Gui Hua took a deep breath.
"I originally intended to collect evidence and expose this pair of dogs and bitches, but thanks to you, Zhang Xue Fen followed Li Er Guai. During that time, seeing Li De Ping looking out the window every day with that look of helplessness, I felt incredibly vindicated!"
Lin Xiao Tian gave an awkward smile.
"Auntie Gui Hua, you don't need to thank me for this."
Zhang Xue Fen's defection was also an unexpected event.
Lin Xiao Tian hadn't realized that he had unknowingly helped Li Gui Hua.
However, looking at the dejected Li Gui Hua before him, Lin Xiao Tian also felt she was quite pitiable.
Li Gui Hua had followed Li De Ping since she was young. Even though Li De Ping was infertile, Li Gui Hua had never divorced him. Unexpectedly, after Li De Ping became wealthy, he began to betray her and even intended to sideline Li Gui Hua's family and cast her out.
Now that Li Gui Hua was forty, without children, when Li De Ping was fully prepared, an incredibly miserable old age would await her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this scoundrel. I'll let you listen to the recording first."
"Don't doubt the authenticity of this recording. I had someone tamper with Li De Ping's phone SIM card, so now I can sync every call he makes."
"It's a pity this old phone has such a small memory, I can't store too many recordings."
Li Gui Hua finished speaking and handed the old feature phone to Lin Xiao Tian.
