Chapter 11: Eldest Aunt’s Stinky Panties

By the time Lin Zhiguo retrieved the bankbook and went to the Division Commander’s office, Tongtong had already finished her meal.

Gu Yanbin personally escorted her back, witnessed Lin Zhiguo handing the bankbook to Yu Wanqin, and only then did he leave.

Lin Zhiguo’s expression was grim: “Now you’re satisfied! Stop making trouble. In a couple of days, go back to the countryside!”

Yu Wanqin turned to look at her daughter. Tongtong blinked at her.

Yu Wanqin smiled.

“Yes! Very satisfied!” She put away the bankbook, treating Lin Zhiguo’s words as nothing but hot air.

Furious, Lin Zhiguo stormed off again.

That evening, when Lin Zhiguo returned to the guesthouse, Shen Wei locked him out and refused to let him in.

Enraged, he had no choice but to spend the night in the duty room.

The next day, Yu Wanqin received news that Shen Wei was ill.

Whether it was real or fake was unknown, but when Lin Zhiguo returned, he told her to pack up and go to the hospital to take care of Shen Wei.

Yu Wanqin looked at him with a half-smile: “You want me to go? Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the chance to do something to her?”

Under the gaze of her dark eyes, Lin Zhiguo felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. Finally, gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to drop the matter.

But he still refused to give up. The next day, he brought back a large pile of clothes.

“Eldest Aunt is sick. Since you don’t want to take care of her, do some work—wash all of these!”

Tongtong looked at the pile of clothes reeking of sweat and makeup, especially the women’s panties mixed in, and her eyes turned cold.

Shameless, despicable couple! How dare they humiliate her mother like this!

She blinked her big eyes, her little voice full of confusion: “Daddy, are these Eldest Aunt’s panties? They’re so smelly! Does Eldest Aunt still wet her pants even though she’s so grown-up?”

She pinched her little nose, stepped back to the door in disgust, then dashed outside.

A passing auntie kindly reminded her: “Tongtong, what’s wrong? Why are you running so fast?”

Lin Zhiguo’s eyelids twitched. Hearing this, he felt something was wrong.

Before he could chase after her,

he heard Tongtong’s muffled, disgusted voice as she pinched her nose: “Grandma Zhang, my dad is carrying my Eldest Aunt’s stinky panties. It’s so smelly!”

Lin Zhiguo: “!!!”

Grandma Wang’s eyes immediately lit up like lightbulbs.

A younger brother-in-law carrying his sister-in-law’s panties around—what kind of weird habit was that?

Once again, the entire family compound was ignited by Tongtong’s innocent words. Instantly, countless curious gazes peered out from windows, all directed at Lin Zhiguo.

Lin Zhiguo’s vision darkened again and again.

He felt a rush of hot blood surging straight to the top of his head!

He wished he could rush over and burn those “stinky panties,” his voice cracking as he shouted:

“Lin Tongtong! Shut your mouth!”

Just then, Shen Wei also returned from outside.

She had come to see Yu Wanqin’s humiliation. If she dared to take her money, she’d have to face her wrath!

Those panties had been deliberately placed there by her—they were the ones she wore after being with Lin Zhiguo, meant to disgust Yu Wanqin.

She wanted to turn Yu Wanqin into a servant, to properly serve her and her two children.

But as soon as she stepped into the family compound, she felt countless mocking, probing gazes land on her, prickling uncomfortably.

Seeing her, Tongtong’s eyes lit up: “Eldest Aunt, your panties are so smelly!”

After saying this, she pinched her nose with her little hand in disgust, her small face scrunching up.

The others were amused.

“Oh my! Nurse Shen, you look perfectly fine to me, nothing wrong at all. Why are you making your brother-in-law carry your panties around to wash them?” Liu Lan cracked sunflower seeds under a tree, speaking with a smile.

“Exactly! How shameless! Even though you’ve lost your husband, you shouldn’t be so careless!” Grandma Wang also curled her lip and rolled her eyes.

The others covered their mouths, snickering quietly. Though they said nothing, their blatantly mocking eyes cut deeper than knives.

“What… what is going on here!”

Shen Wei forced herself to stand despite her trembling body, her voice shaking.

Why was this scene so different from what she had imagined!

Lin Zhiguo stormed over, his face ashen, and gritted his teeth as he hastily explained, “Sister-in-law, you asked me to bring clothes back. Maybe you didn’t notice, but you… you put that thing inside. Hurry up and explain!”

As he spoke, he frantically signaled Shen Wei with his eyes.

But at that moment, Shen Wei’s mind was a complete mess. She had no idea what was happening, much less how to salvage the situation.

Yu Wanqin watched their interaction coldly, then picked up the clothes-drying pole from the corner and used it to lift Shen Wei’s delicate, sheer lace panties with frills.

Wearing an expression of perfect confusion and barely concealed disdain, she kindly reminded her:

“Sister-in-law, I see these pants are unusually dirty. Could it be some gynecological issue? You really should go to the hospital. Ignoring an illness is no good. And this smell… tsk! It’s so strong!”

After saying this, she waved her hand in front of her nose in disgust and took a step back.

Though no one actually smelled anything, just watching her reaction made it clear the odor couldn’t be pleasant.

Their gazes grew even more meaningful.

“Oh! Nurse Shen, your panties are quite novel in style!” Grandma Wang, never one to miss a chance to stir trouble, sneered mockingly.

Such a tiny piece of fabric—what could it possibly cover? And with frills, no less.

Everyone looked and thought the same: Shen Wei, a widow, wearing such provocative panties—who was she trying to seduce?

Shen Wei: “!!!”

She felt a surge of anger rising in her throat, trembling all over with rage, her eyes turning red.

“Yu Wanqin! Don’t you dare slander me! I’m perfectly fine!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Yu Wanqin used the clothes-drying pole to poke the panties back disdainfully, clapped her hands lightly, and said airily, “Then perhaps I overthought it. But sister-in-law, you should wash your own clothes from now on, to avoid any strange smells coming out again. It’s just too awkward.”

With that, she smiled faintly and called Tongtong to go home.

She directly tossed out all the clothes Lin Zhiguo had brought back, along with the basin.

The door slammed shut with a “bang.”

Shen Wei trembled with anger, tears welling up in her eyes.

Looking at the snickering neighbors around her, she felt her face burn with humiliation.

Unable to stay a moment longer, she covered her face and ran off.

Lin Zhiguo stood in the yard, his face alternating between green and white, like a clown nailed to a pillar of shame!

As he picked up the clothes, he inwardly blamed Shen Wei.

If she hadn’t insisted she was sick and demanded that Yu Wanqin wait on her and wash her clothes, none of this would have happened!

Of course, the real culprit was that damned Lin Tongtong. That girl was too unruly—he’d have to find a chance to teach her a proper lesson!

Lin Zhiguo left with a cold expression.

Inside the house, Tongtong threw herself into her mother’s arms, laughing joyfully.

“Mom! You were so awesome!”

She nuzzled affectionately against her mother, breathing in the scent of soap, bubbling with happiness.

It was wonderful—Mom was still the same Mom.

Strong, bold, and amazing!

Yu Wanqin couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, reaching out to gently stroke her daughter’s fluffy little head.

“From now on, Mother won’t let anyone bully the two of us.”

She picked up the child, took out the bankbook that Lin Zhiguo had been forced to “contribute,” and said with a smile.

“Let’s go! Now we have money. We won’t cook today—we’re eating out! And we’ll buy our Tongtong two little dresses to spite them!”

She would no longer let herself and her daughter suffer for the sake of unrelated people!
