Chapter 362: They Did Not Consummate the Marriage

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Slaughtering a pig was a huge event in the village.

Children especially liked to join in the fun.

After the pig was slaughtered, close families would be invited to share a meal together.

By the time Zhao Chuchu and Xie Jun made their way over, the pig had been shaved and was about to be brought to the river for cleaning.

Xie Jun dashed over and followed the other children, chasing after the pig being carried to the river.

Old Mrs. Chen also carried a basket full of vegetables to the river. When she saw Zhao Chuchu, she waved and called out to her, “Chuchu, you came just in time. If you are free, could you help me wash the vegetables?”

“Of course, I can,” replied Zhao Chuchu as she quickly walked forward. She took the basket from Old Mrs. Chen and asked, “Why are you washing so many vegetables?”

“The weather has been good recently. I plan to dry some vegetables so we can have some during spring when there won’t be much available.”

“Are you also drying carrots?”

“Yes.”

“Why don’t you pickle them? Pickled vegetables go well with rice.”

“Pickled vegetables?”

Old Mrs. Chen had never heard of pickled vegetables. There was a look of awe on her face.

“Is this a new dish that you read about in your books?”

“Yes. I will check to see how to make it later. You can give it a try then.” “That’s good. Don’t mind if I do,” said Old Mrs. Chen with a smile. “It just so happens the children of my household do not like to eat dried vegetables. They complain that it is tasteless.”

“Pickled vegetables go well with rice. It also has a unique taste when eaten with white porridge.”

“Then I will be waiting for you to teach me how to make it.”

The two of them chatted as they walked to the river. Along the way, they met other women. When the others heard about pickled vegetables, they also became curious. So they tagged along to ask more about it.

Zhao Chuchu was not selfish and shared all that she knew.

She did not know how to make it exactly, only the rough steps. To prevent misleading them and wasting vegetables, she planned to make Xie Heng attempt it first. If he succeeded, she would teach the women how to make it.

Then, they could use this novel dish to help supplement their family’s income.

It was very lively next to the river. The children were playing beside it. From time to time, they would come over to see how the adults handled the pig.

Xie Heng was also present, but the villagers treated him as a scholar. His hands were valuable, so they did not allow him to help.

He could only watch as they worked.

Before Zhao Chuchu reached the riverside, Xie Heng had already noticed her. He smiled at her from a distance.

Zhao Chuchu waved in reply.

When the young women beside her saw this, they teased her, saying, “Chuchu, Da Lang holds you in high regard. His eyes follow you wherever you go. You can’t even push them away if you want to. Aye, Da Lang is a gentleman, but how is he in that department?”

For a moment, Zhao Chuchu did not know how to respond to this straightforward and unexpected question.

“He must be excellent. Otherwise, would Chuchu like him so much? Isn’t that what couples are about? Would she bother talking to him if he was not performing well?”

“Chuchu, does Da Lang know many positions? Do any of them make you feel good? Share with us, please.”

“Yes, my husband said that scholars have the most pornographic drawings. He must know many different types of positions. Please don’t be stingy. Why don’t I share how my husband pleases me?”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

Stop!

What vulgarity was this?

She had truly underestimated how vulgar the women of this era were.

“Da Lang and I have yet to consummate the marriage,” Zhao Chuchu confessed to avoid further inquiries. “I have yet to have my period.”

The women probably had not expected such an answer. Nevertheless, they exchanged glances with one another.

They had thought that Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng had consummated their marriage long ago!

Old Mrs. Chen recalled that she had urged Zhao Chuchu to have children a while ago. She could not help but feel embarrassed now.

“Chuchu is still young. You cannot rush such things. All of you, don’t just share everything in front of Chuchu. If we misguide her, Da Lang will come after us,” said Old Mrs. Chen, immediately smoothing things over.

A woman said, “Hahaha, what is there to fear? She will grow up eventually. After all, she is already married. There is no harm in knowing more. It is better than not knowing anything when they actually consummate the marriage. It would be unfortunate if they became a laughingstock as I did.”

Another woman chipped in, “Chuchu, come to my house when you have time later. I can teach you some things that guarantee Da Lang will cling to you even more. My husband obeys my every word because of this. He will not look west if I ask him to look east.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Someone made a flirtatious pose.

The women immediately laughed out loud.

The woman who said that she would teach Zhao Chuchu feigned anger and pushed the other woman from behind. Then she said, “Stop it. It is enough that you know. Why show it? Chuchu is thin-skinned. Don’t end up scaring her away.”

Zhao Chuchu was truly amazed.

They were really daring. Even when discussing matters of the bedroom, they did not seem embarrassed. Zhao Chuchu felt that she was inexperienced compared to them.

In any era, there was no shortage of people who spoke in such a vulgar manner!

These women were all experienced veterans. They could make her blush so hard that she would rocket off to the moon at any moment.

Even Zhao Chuchu felt embarrassed listening to them talk.

She had also used profanity in her previous life. However, she was more civilized and nowhere near as straightforward as these women. They could even share in vivid detail what positions they had attempted.

It seems that the theoretical knowledge she obtained from books could not compete with her actual experience.

In truth, in ancient times, at night, there was no entertainment to speak of. The joys of the bedroom were their only form of entertainment. They had gotten very creative with it.

Fortunately, they had already reached the river, so they ended this topic of discussion.

As for Xie Heng, this was the first time he considered that having excellent hearing was not necessarily a blessing.

He had heard everything the women said. Moreover, he had been staring at

Zhao Chuchu. He could not help but imagine what they said. He was slightly aroused ana could not focus.

Luckily, Xie Heng’s self-control was extremely strong. Therefore, he did not show a reaction in public.

Nevertheless, he spent a lot of effort quenching his excitement.

After that, Xie Heng did not dare look at Zhao Chuchu again.

He felt that he was being disrespectful toward her.

Zhao Chuchu naturally did not miss Xie Heng’s response. On the contrary, she could not help but smile slightly when she saw his embarrassed look.

How could such an innocent boy possibly exist?

His mind was no longer that of a youth, but he was still easily embarrassed.

Zhao Chuchu once again felt that she had picked up a treasure.

The women chose to wash the vegetables upstream.

They began making jokes about the men downstream.

Their jokes included but were not limited to, vulgar jokes.

Zhao Chuchu listened quietly, not daring to speak up.

After all, she had yet to consummate her marriage. If her theoretical knowledge was too vast, would she shock a few people and cause them to fall into the river?

Although their conversation was not safe for children, the atmosphere was rather relaxing for Zhao Chuchu.

There were no mind games at play. Life without worrying about zombies rushing out at any given moment was wonderful.

Old Mrs. Chen said softly, “They are like this every day. Don’t mind them. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything. They are used to being so shameless.”

“It’s alright. It is quite fun,” said Zhao Chuchu with a smile.

“You are still young. There is no rush. You should wait for your period to come before consummating the marriage. Otherwise, it will not be good for your body.”

“I know.”

“Right, you are a physician, so you will naturally know more than we do. However, Chuchu, when the time comes, it is better to have children as soon as possible.. A family is not complete without children!”
