The incident with Uncle Gu San sounded a wake-up call for all the aunts in the village. Now that the village was well-off with money and grain, life had improved significantly. Since the men frequently traveled away for work, there was no guarantee they wouldn't be tempted by vixens elsewhere. Uncle Gu San, who had always seemed like an honest man, had been caught with a secret lover while away. The women decided they had to keep a close eye on their own men.
Personally, I had only wanted to get back at Uncle Gu San because he was a blabbermouth who would take the benefits of my sugar-making process and then turn around and bad-mouth me.
However, after that incident, I suddenly found myself with a few "little tails" following me around. I spent my days directing my uncles' family in brewing wine, and while my sisters-in-law weren't usually with me, things changed after the affair with Uncle Gu San. I don't know if my mother-in-law became anxious or if my aunts-in-law put ideas into her head, but she started having Gu Daya follow me around every day.
