Chapter 8
Shan Yu simply didn’t want to see Wan Qiu’s face, and he didn’t show any affection for him in his actions, this should be fine, right?
This was definitely a tenderness that Wan Qiu had never experienced.
He never imagined that his violent and ruthless husband would have such a warm embrace, and he never imagined the big hands that had slapped him countless times could caress his head so gently. He never imagined that his husband could change after losing his memory, being so much better.
Wan Qiu was a little greedy for such an embrace and sense of security, so he hugged Shan Yu’s waist and nuzzled himself into his arms, like a cat begging for a pet.
Everyone would be moved by this situation, and Shan Yu was no exception.
He stiffly held the skinny, ugly wife in his arms, someone else’s wife, and the big rabbit in the ugly wife’s arms that was pregnant with a male rabbit’s babies. He felt very helpless as they hugged each other in the thick fog of the night in the Deadly Forest.
While listening to the sad and melodious soundtrack of Acacia tree, Shan Yu silently asked the stars above his head: ‘What had I done wrong? God, why did you do this to me?’
.
At that time, the village was covered with light smoke and thin clouds were floating around in the moonlight.
Shan Yu was carrying a basket on his back and holding herbs in his hand. He and Wan Qiu were gnawing honey from the roots of the acacia tree. From a distance, he saw a large number of people gathered in front of his house so he hurriedly walked over.
A couple was quarreling at the door of their house.
The onlookers were talking a lot, and a white light flashed in Shan Yu’s mind.
The memories belonging to the original owner pieced together in his mind, and Shan Yu felt his head spinning.
It turned out that one of the two couples was named Ming Yue and the other was named Song Zhao.
Song Zhao and Wan Qiu had grown up together since childhood, and they had planned to get married early. The reason why it didn’t happen was because the original owner had peeped at Wan Qiu taking a bath on the eve of his wedding.
In this kind of feudal society, where life and death were minor matters and moral misconduct was major matters, Song Zhao’s family couldn’t stand the rumors and couldn’t accept Wan Qiu’s “loss of virginity”, so they broke off the engagement.
Wan Qiu had been alone since childhood, and no one could make decisions for him when something went wrong. The original owner picked up a wife for nothing and thought he was ugly. A few days after marrying Wan Qiu, he started to beat and scold him, treating Wan Qiu less and less like a human being.
And he didn’t know if Song Zhao was affectionate or ruthless.
He broke off the engagement because Wan Qiu lost his “virginity”, and watched helplessly as his childhood sweetheart jumped into the fire pit without being affected. However, after Wan Qiu marrying the original owner, he began to care about him whenever anything happened.
Although Wan Qiu repeatedly refused to evade, Song Zhao seemed not to understand and was busy helping Wan Qiu and standing up for him. As he came and went, there was a lot of gossip.
The original owner had quite a temper. Even though he took advantage of everything and squeezed his wife Wan Qiu to death, he never took any favors from others, and Wan Qiu was not allowed to accept help from others, especially from Song Zhao.
The original owner was a typical person who wanted to save face and suffer, but he did not owe others any favors.
The original owner couldn’t defeat Song Zhao, so he could only vent his anger on Wan Qiu, and Song Zhao’s husband, Ming Yue, was not an easy person. Every time he saw his man in the same frame as Wan Qiu, he would always cause a scene.
This was a vicious cycle.
Song Zhao’s self-righteous kindness could not help Wan Qiu in the slightest, and it also harmed Wan Qiu. After losing his “virginity”, Wan Qiu had to bear the reputation of not abiding by the rules.
He didn’t know if Song Zhao was really stupid, or if he was just simply bad-hearted.
After thinking about it, Shan Yu felt that Wan Qiu was really pitiful and he was really wronged.
Not only did he have to take the blame for the original owner, but he also had to take care of someone else’s wife and kid.
Shan Yu reflected: “…”
What kind of thing he had done to deserve this?
