This afternoon, Li Hua had to stay at home to help with the farming, so she had to put her research on the spicy soup recipe on hold for the day. She informed Gu Zi that she wouldn’t be coming over in the afternoon.
Gu Zi thought this was just as well, as it would give her the opportunity to clean the house in the afternoon.
Just as she opened the main gate of her courtyard, Shi Tou, the boy next door, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He jumped in front of Gu Zi, pinching his chubby cheeks and making a scary face, exclaiming, “Ah, a ghost is here!”
Gu Zi looked at his plump face, suppressing the urge to pinch it. Pretending to be scared, she patted her chest and said, “Oh my, how terrifying! Is that you, Little Shi Tou? You’ve nearly scared me to death!”
Shi Tou quickly hugged Gu Zit s thigh and said, “Don’t be scared, Fairy Sister.
Shi Tou will protect you.”
Amused by his antics, Gu Zi invited him in for some candy.
Shi Tou was delighted and said mysteriously, “Fairy Sister, Shi Tou has a secret to tell you.”
As she tucked Su Le in on the couch and returned to peel a White Rabbit candy for Shi Tou, Gu Zi said, “Oh, I’m quite curious. Go ahead.”
“My grandma has been very busy these days, looking for doctors everywhere. She said she wants to be good to Fairy Sister and find a way to help Uncle last longer in bed… to help Fairy Sister get pregnant and have a baby!”
Shi Tou’s words sent a shiver down Gu Zi’s spine. She thought, ‘Help, who wants to have a baby?!’
The ‘uncle’ Shi Tou was referring to must be Su Shen. It must have been something Aunt Zhang said that Shi Tou overheard.
Adults often think that children don’t understand anything and tend to speak freely in front of them.
But in reality, children are very smart and have good memories. They often remember more accurately what they hear. In this respect, Gu Zi did not doubt Shi Tou’s words.
Just as Gu Zi was about to ask Shi Tou why he said that, she heard hurried, heavy footsteps. Looking up, she saw Aunt Zhang, her face full of apologies.
Aunt Zhang came in, pulled Shi Tou away, and spanked him a few times. “You little rascal, always coming over here to freeload. You deserve a spanking! Gu Zi, don’t listen to Shi Touts nonsense. I’m just a little worried about you.”
Aunt Zhang looked troubled as she spoke. Gu Zi smiled and reassured her, “It’s okay, I invited Shi Tou over. Aunt Zhang, why don’t you sit down and tell me what’s going on?”
Gu Zi washed two pears for Aunt Zhang and Shi Tou. After thanking her, Shi Tou picked up the green-yellow pear and took a big bite. The fruit was crisp, sweet, and juicy. It was the tastiest pear he had ever eaten.
Aunt Zhang initially declined but eventually picked up a pear and took a bite. Without asking, she knew that this was not a pear grown in their village.
She said, “It’s so sweet! I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to pass by and heard that Little Su isn’t very capable in certain aspects. I have something on my mind that I don’t know whether to say or not, but I really want to talk to you about it.”
Gu Zi couldn’t help but cough lightly. It turned out that Aunt Zhang, like herself at first, had misunderstood Su Shen.
But whether Su Shen was capable or not, Gu Zi now had a say in the matter. However, she didn’t say anything about it, only telling Aunt Zhang to speak freely.
Aunt Zhang was always straightforward. Seeing that Gu Zi was willing to listen, she said, “I found a folk remedy these past few days. You could try giving it to Su Shen. It’s harmless to the body, but if it works, you’ll be in for a treat.”
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang took out a yellowed piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zi. Gu Zi unfolded the large piece of paper. It not only had writing on it but also two drawings of exercises for men to enhance their sexual function.
Because the drawings were too explicit, Gu Zi quickly folded the paper and put it away, saying, “I actually think he’s quite good. It’s not that serious, right?”
Upon hearing Gu Zi’s words, Aunt Zhang smiled, thinking that Gu Zi was indeed a good woman, even knowing to protect a man’s dignity.
“You can decide what to do. What happens behind closed doors is ultimately up to you, right? But listen to me, if there’s really something wrong with Su Shen, don’t be afraid to hurt his pride. If the folk remedy doesn’t work, take him to the hospital right away. You mustn’t delay, understand?”
Gu Zi bit her lower lip and stuffed the folk remedy under the sofa cushion. She wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with Su Shen, but this was a private matter. She couldn’t bring herself to discuss it with outsiders, so she just nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll handle it.”
Gu Zi felt uneasy in her heart, thinking, ‘I’m sorry, Su Shen. But this shouldn’t be a big deal, right?’ Because in reality, she knew that Su Shen was more than capable.. That was all that mattered!
