Liu Jian stayed with Ren Shanshan for a few more days, spending his time going around with Ren Shanshan, occasionally harassing Ren Yingying, and tiring out Ren Shanshan in the evenings. Life was pretty good, until the 28th of the lunar month, when the New Year was approaching.
After finishing dinner and returning to the room, Liu Jian put one arm around Ren Shanshan while the other hand roamed over her body, soon making her breathless. Ren Shanshan struggled a little and said, "Jian, don't, it's barely dark. What if Yingying comes over later?"
Saying that only made Liu Jian more excited. His movements became bolder, licking Ren Shanshan's ear. Ren Shanshan was so weak from the licking that she had no strength to resist. Liu Jian pressed close to her ear and said, "It's fine if Yingying sees. We'll give my little sister-in-law a good lesson."
Ren Shanshan seemed to be stimulated in a different way, and couldn't help but gently bite her lip. Liu Jian chuckled and said, "Are you also looking forward to that day?"
Ren Shanshan's face turned red, a look of struggle on her face, biting her lip and not saying a word. Just as Liu Jian was about to take things further, the door suddenly opened, and Ren Yingying burst in. Then she saw the intimate scene between her sister and Liu Jian and was immediately stunned, not knowing what to do.
Liu Jian looked down at the oblivious Ren Shanshan, and a mischievous thought came to mind. He gave Ren Yingying a wicked smile and then undid Ren Shanshan's clothes. Under Ren Yingying's astonished gaze, he took Ren Shanshan's red cherry into his mouth and sucked on it. His hands constantly kneaded, Ren Shanshan's eyes became even more blurred, and she unconsciously emitted a seductive moan, which made Ren Yingying's legs weaken, and she squatted at the door. Liu Jian chuckled, stood up, closed the door, and bolted it from the inside. Then he pulled Ren Yingying up, and his mouth moved toward Ren Yingying's small mouth, kissing her on the lips in Ren Yingying's wide eyes. Ren Yingying opened her mouth to shout, but unintentionally played into Liu Jian's hands, his tongue reaching in, licking around in Ren Yingying's mouth. His hands didn't let up either, pulling up Ren Yingying's underwear and grabbing her round, firm breasts. Liu Jian couldn't help but gasp. Ren Yingying's breasts were not as big as her sister's, but the feel was softer, and Liu Jian held them tightly, not wanting to let go.
Ren Shanshan realized something was wrong, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Jian pressing her sister onto the heated brick bed, moving his hands up and down. Ren Yingying's underwear had already been pushed up, and her full breasts were exposed to the air. Ren Yingying was still struggling stupidly, but the more she struggled, the happier Liu Jian felt. This pleasure was indescribable. Ren Shanshan couldn't bear to watch any longer and pinched Liu Jian. Liu Jian turned his head and saw Ren Shanshan's angry gaze, and said somewhat embarrassed, "Shanshan, I lost control for a moment."
Ren Yingying burst into tears and threw herself into Ren Shanshan's arms, crying, "Sister, brother-in-law is going too far."
Ren Shanshan glared at Liu Jian, who embarrassedly retreated towards the edge of the kang (heated platform bed), lit a cigarette. Ren Shanshan had no choice but to comfort Ren Yingying on this side. Fortunately, during this period, Ren's mother and Ren Shanshan had talked about this a lot. Ren Yingying just couldn't accept it for a moment, and plus, she naturally wanted to act spoiled in front of her sister. It took a while to persuade the crying Ren Yingying to stop.
Seeing that Ren Yingying had stopped crying, Liu Jian brazenly approached again, leaning behind Ren Shanshan and saying, "Yingying, it's brother-in-law who was wrong, don't be angry." He said this, but his hand reached out from behind Ren Shanshan.
The situation was that Ren Yingying was leaning on Ren Shanshan's shoulder, and Ren Shanshan was leaning on Liu Jian. Liu Jian's hand reached around Ren Shanshan and secretly grabbed Ren Yingying's hand. Ren Yingying didn't react at first, but after a while, she realized something was wrong. Liu Jian's fingers were constantly drawing circles in her palm. Ren Yingying was startled and was about to struggle, but Liu Jian held her tightly, and she couldn't break free. Ren Shanshan sighed, pretending she didn't see anything. It took a long time for Liu Jian to suppress his lust and let Ren Yingying go.
When Ren Yingying walked out of the room, she glared at Liu Jian a few times. After she left, Ren Shanshan said somewhat angrily, "Xiao Jian, didn't I tell you not to touch my little sister before the college entrance exam?"
Liu Jian smiled, pushed Ren Shanshan onto the kang (a type of heated platform bed), and said while taking off his clothes, "Okay, I know, I just wanted to get a taste before I left, right? Since you won't let me, I'll wait, but you have to keep an eye on her, I don't want someone else to get there first."
Ren Shanshan nodded in agreement, then asked strangely, "You're leaving? When? I didn't know about this."
Liu Jian quickly stripped Ren Shanshan bare, greedily gazing at Ren Shanshan's beautiful and sexy body, and thrust himself in. Ren Shanshan, caught completely off guard, cried out "Ah!" Liu Jian said while intensifying his movements, "The New Year is almost here, I can't stay here until the New Year before leaving, right? Besides, I still have to go to Hangzhou. I originally planned to travel when I came out this time, but I didn't expect to meet you. That's my biggest gain."
Ren Shanshan's eyes dimmed and she said, "When are you leaving? I need to tell my mom and dad, and also pack my things."
Liu Jian turned Ren Shanshan over and entered her from behind, thrusting forcefully, and said, "What did you say? You stay. I didn't plan to take you away. You can go back after the New Year, it's still enough time. If I have time, I'll come pick you up."
Ren Shanshan, whose mood had just sunk to rock bottom, suddenly felt better. She had only spent a few days with her parents, and Ren Shanshan hadn't had enough. But now she was basically being kept by Liu Jian, and if Liu Jian said to leave, she couldn't resist. Hearing that she could spend the New Year at home, Ren Shanshan worked even harder, desperately trying to please Liu Jian, and her moans grew louder and louder.
In the other room, Ren's mother and Ren Yingying were watching TV. Who knew that Ren Shanshan's voice would get louder and louder, so loud that they could hear it clearly in this room. Ren's mother spat and said, "She's such a grown woman, doesn't she know better? Who is she shouting so loudly for?"
Ren Yingying's face flushed red. She thought of the scene she had witnessed upon entering the room earlier and how her brother-in-law had touched her. This made her feel awkward and hesitant. Her mother noticed her daughter's state and, sensing something was wrong, whispered, "Yingying, what's wrong? Is it your brother-in-law?"
Ren Yingying's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say. Tears almost started flowing again. Her mother was startled, wondering if Yingying had lost her virginity, but she didn't seem like it. Under her mother's repeated pressure, Ren Yingying, with a flushed face, recounted what had happened. Only then did her mother breathe a sigh of relief, and she embraced her daughter, who seemed to be agonizing over it.
Her mother comforted her, "Yingying, don't be afraid, it's not a big deal. Besides, your brother-in-law didn't actually take your virginity, which means he knows what he's doing."
Ren Yingying looked at her mother in confusion. Her mother sighed and said, "Yingying, women are all the same, it's the same with whoever you're with. The lucky ones meet a good husband and live a good life. The unlucky ones, like me, met your father and what kind of life have I had? If it weren't for your sister's success, you wouldn't have been able to continue your studies. But how much hardship has your sister suffered outside? We don't know."
Ren Yingying was stunned. She thought of her family's current situation. These few days of happiness had almost made her forget the bitter days of the past. Thinking of when she was in high school, if it wasn't for the tuition fees her sister sent back, she would have dropped out of school long ago and stayed at home. Many of the girls in the village who didn't go to school were already married, some even had children. Only she could study at school without worries.
Her mother looked at her daughter with a wry smile. There were some things she didn't want to say, but she couldn't not say them. After pausing for a moment to let her daughter accept it, she continued, "Yingying, I know you have good grades and can get into university, but if it weren't for your sister, even if you get in, our family wouldn't be able to afford it."
Ren Yingying studied well, she wasn't unaware of these things, she just hadn't considered them in that direction. She nodded, looking at her mother with a questioning look.
Ren's mother continued, "Do you think he's really your brother-in-law?"
Ren Yingying was stunned, almost shouting, and asked, "Mom, what are you saying?"
Madam Ren gave a bitter smile and told her a secret. It turned out that in the past few days, Madam Ren had noticed that the relationship between her daughter and Liu Jian was a little abnormal. Her daughter seemed to care too much about Liu Jian's feelings, even preparing his foot-washing water at night and bringing it to him. When speaking, she was very concerned about Liu Jian's attitude, fearing that she might cause his dissatisfaction.
One day, while cooking, Madam Ren repeatedly pressed her, and Ren Shanshan finally told the truth. Upon hearing that her daughter had been going out every day for the past three years to tutor children and earn a living, working as a tour guide during holidays to earn tuition, and even saving money for her younger sister's tuition, Madam Ren burst into tears.
Finally, when she said that she would have to become a prostitute to stay in the big city, Madam Ren almost fainted. She hadn't expected that her daughter, whom they believed was living a happy life outside, had to pay so much. Fortunately, the first man Ren Shanshan chose was Liu Jian.
Liu Jian may have all sorts of shortcomings, but he is really good to Ren Shanshan. He bought her so many things, is going to buy her a house, accompanied her home for Chinese New Year, and arranged a job for her. But all of this is based on the fact that he likes Ren Shanshan. Even if Liu Jian's personality changes and he no longer likes Ren Shanshan in the future, he wouldn't take these things back. But having gone through all this, Ren Shanshan knows how difficult it is for a woman to survive in society, and how even harder it is to live a good life. She doesn't want to go back to her old life, and she also has a younger sister. She doesn't want Ren Yingying to follow in her footsteps. The only way is to please Liu Jian and be even better to him. However, what happened back then is still a thorn in her side. Ren Shanshan is afraid that one day Liu Jian will remember that incident and have a problem with her.
After listening to Ren Shanshan's story, her mother did not blame her. Instead, she held her daughter and cried bitterly. She didn't hate Liu Jian, but was actually grateful to him for pulling her daughter back from the brink of the cliff. Ren's mother hated Ren's father for being useless, only farming a little land every day. So many people were going out to work, but Ren's father never dared to go, staying huddled in the village.
After understanding her daughter, Ren's mother had another idea. From what her daughter said, she knew that it would be difficult for Liu Jian to marry her daughter. Fortunately, the wedding banquet in the village had already been held, and no one would know what was going on if she didn't say anything. As long as her daughter lived well in the big city in the future, there would be no gossip. Thinking about how to keep Liu Jian, Ren's mother thought of her younger daughter. Ren's mother's idea was simple: one might not be able to hold him, but two can! If both daughters are with you, you won't just leave them alone, right? Ren's mother understood men's thoughts very well. When she was young, her brother-in-law often paid attention to her. If she hadn't held the line, she would probably have lost her virginity to her brother-in-law before marriage. Although she didn't escape this fate after marriage, who could blame her when her family was so poor? In those years, she had to beg him for her daughters' sake. So Ren's mother was very open-minded about these things. The most important thing for Ren's mother was to live a good life and no longer be poor. As for whether the two daughters belonged to one person, possibly without any official status, Ren's mother didn't care. Everything was just an illusion as long as they lived well. It can't be denied that Ren Shanshan was greatly influenced by Ren's mother at some point, otherwise she wouldn't have gone down that road.
After the mother and daughter put their heads together, they schemed against the younger daughter. This included Ren Shanshan's encouragement and Ren's mother's guidance, which were all actually intended to get Ren Yingying to accept everything. It must be said that Liu Jian's growing audacity was directly related to Ren Shanshan's encouragement.
Ren's mother telling Ren Yingying everything today was to make her face reality and to prevent her daughter from being troubled by these things. Ren Yingying is still a young girl, and under the protection of her mother and sister, she knows nothing about these things. Only now does she understand what her sister has done for the family. The slightest resentment she had towards her sister has disappeared without a trace, and her resistance to Liu Jian has also vanished. Although she has not fully accepted these things, Ren Yingying understands her sister and the reason why her mother wanted to say those words to her in the first place: to keep her brother-in-law.
Children from poor families always mature early. This was true for Ren Shanshan, and it is also true for Ren Yingying. She grew up overnight. The next day, Liu Jian was puzzled to see Ren Yingying, who was always wandering around him. He thought, "I went too far yesterday. Why does the sister-in-law act like nothing happened today and is even actively walking around in front of me?"
