Chapter 10 Emptying the Night Soil (Part One)

Pei Yuanshao stood guard at the door of the firewood shed, his face alternating between pale and flushed. He stood with his head bowed, a teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of his eye resembling the redness of the setting sun outside.

Inside the shed, Liu Changning stepped out of the wooden tub, wiped the water from her body, and put on her clothes. Only then did she leisurely open the wooden door.

She gave him a piercing look and raised an eyebrow, asking, “Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? What’s the matter?”

The man not far away suddenly raised his head. The panic and anger from earlier in the room seemed to vanish like a fleeting vision, his peach blossom eyes now blazing with fire.

Perhaps truly enraged, his chest heaving, he took a deep breath and spoke through gritted teeth, enunciating each word: “You… despicable… broad daylight…”

Liu Changning crossed her arms, looking at him with composure. She interrupted him nonchalantly: “What about broad daylight? If you hadn’t barged into my bedroom uninvited, would I have taken off my clothes in front of you?”

Pei Yuanshao choked on his words, coughing violently, the reprimand on the tip of his tongue forcibly swallowed back.

He rubbed the red whip at his waist, his fingers curling and uncurling. After repeating this two or three times, he finally suppressed the urge to whip her.

Pointing at the latrine not far away, he raised his voice in anger: “If you hadn’t made the latrine stink to high heaven… how would I have broken in? Besides, you’re a respectable woman, who would have thought you’d be bathing inside in broad daylight like some young lad?”

Pei Yuanshao frowned deeply, his peach blossom eyes filled with disgust.

After a busy day, returning home from town, he had been in a good mood originally. He went to relieve himself in the latrine, but unexpectedly, the earthen latrine was filled with black and yellow filth.

The entire latrine reeked, and the frustration of the past few days, combined with the foul odor assaulting his nostrils, finally erupted.

Thinking of the unpleasant smell from earlier, the anger on his face that had just subsided flared up again. He irritably rubbed the teardrop mole at the corner of his right eye; the mole, red and seemingly about to drip, looked as if it might bleed on his fair, handsome face.

Liu Changning lifted her eyelids and met his gaze, asking in surprise: “Isn’t the latrine supposed to smell bad? What’s wrong with that?”

Pei Yuanshao was already angry, and now this woman in front of him was not only playing dumb but also seemed righteous about it.

He calmed his fluctuating emotions and smiled instead of getting angry: “Fine, go look at the latrine and you’ll understand. The earthen vat is full of filth. Wife-master, you’d better hurry and carry it to the fields as fertilizer!”

Liu Changning looked dumbfounded. She pointed at herself in disbelief and asked, “You want me to empty the night soil?”

Pei Yuanshao nodded, his eyes sliding with impatience: “If wife-master doesn’t do it, are you expecting a delicate young man like me to carry night soil? Besides, the vat is full now. If we don’t remove the filth, our family’s latrine will be unusable in the future! Who’s to blame for this? If it weren’t for wife-master’s frequent… diarrhea? Why else would we need to empty the night soil so often?”

Liu Changning’s round eyes suddenly widened. She… had frequent diarrhea? This convenient husband couldn’t possibly think… This person’s imagination was truly rich.

However, the medicinal bath water in the vat was indeed her doing, but to ask her to empty the night soil… hehehe!

Liu Changning stroked her pointed chin, her eyes darting around. Meeting her convenient husband’s disgusted gaze, she smiled insincerely: “The three rules we established yesterday, household chores are to be shared between us. If I remember correctly, I’ve always been the one to empty the night soil in the past. For the sake of fairness, isn’t it your turn this time?”

The man in front of her was backlit, the anger erupting on his face hidden in the shadows. He rubbed the red whip at his waist with his fingertips.

As soon as Liu Changning finished her infuriating words, the long whip at his waist formed an arc, quickly slicing through the air.

The man before her, in red clothes and black hair, holding the whip, with anger blazing from his eyes, seemed as if he could incinerate someone. The whip lashed out, about to land on Liu Changning’s body in an instant.

She was quick, spinning to dodge it and catching the tail of the whip with her bare hand. Her seemingly thin arm exerted a slight force, pulling the whip-wielding man close.

Liu Changning leaned in, looked up, and warned in a low voice: “I told you yesterday, don’t cross the line. If you can’t do that, Mister Pei, you should respect yourself, take your divorce papers, and leave quickly, lest we both end up detesting each other and adding to the unpleasantness.”

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
