Chapter 42: Shedding Tears
Hearing him ask, Ye Zhaopei smiled.
Jiang Zhi asked her, "What are you laughing at?" β
Ye Zhaopei said: "I'm wondering, are you vinegar?" β
Jiang Zhi said "um", but he was blunt about it: "Vinegar." I'm jealous. β
After a pause, he repeated: "I'm jealous at the thought of anything you might have with any man. β
Ye Zhaopei said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to do with Lu Gou and me, at most, it is ...... Once, I was in so much pain that I couldn't get up on the ground, but he came to my aid, gave me a bowl of ginger soup, and gave me a steamed bun. β
Jiang Zhi was very disgusted: "Is he taking advantage of the void?" β
"No," Ye Zhaopei smiled, "He has a fiancΓ©e." β
"FiancΓ©e?" Jiang Zhi looked at her.
Ye Zhaopei nodded: "Yes, fiancΓ©e." A little girl named Luo Du, I went to look for her after I came out of the burning mountain. β
Jiang Zhi touched a strand of Ye Zhaopei's hair, and when he heard the words, he also asked, "Then what?" And then what happened? β
"And then," Ye Zhaopei sighed, "when I found that Luo Du girl, she had already been forced to marry a butcher. Because the family felt that Lu Gou would not go back to her, they insisted that she marry someone else. The family can no longer afford her. β
Jiang Zhi did not speak.
Ye Zhaopei continued: "But that butcher is a very bad man, he always bullies Miss Luo. When I found Miss Luo, I asked her if she wanted me to help her, or if I wanted me to take her away. β
"And what did she say?"
"She rejected me. Because she was pregnant with the butcher's child. Ye Zhaopei frowned.
ββββββ
At that time, it seemed to be an early spring season, the weather was very good, and the grass grew on all sides, and the warblers were flying, which was Ye Zhaopei's favorite day.
It took her some time to find out where Miss Luo was.
And when I found her, I heard that the butcher was out and busy. In order to support his family, he needs to bear a lot of work, while Luo Du washes clothes at home, and his stomach bulges slightly.
When Ye Zhaopei appeared, she was hanging her washed clothes aside, and her thin white hands were red from the cold.
"It's Miss Luodu, right?" Ye Zhaopei spoke aloud.
"It's me," Miss Luo turned to look at her, with a smile on her face, "Who are you, this girl?" β
"My name is Ye Zhaopei, and I am a friend of Lu Gou." Ye Zhaopei stared at her.
Hearing the name of "Lu Gou", Luo Duan seemed to be slightly distracted. But soon, she continued to smile: "Miss Ye, I'm already married. β
Ye Zhaopei asked lightly: "You told me that you were married, do you think that Lu Gou wants me to take you away?" β
Luo was slightly stunned.
Ye Zhaopei continued to ask: "This is what you have always wanted to happen, right?" Lu Gou came out of the burning mountain unharmed, maybe to pick you up in person, or maybe to ask someone else to pick you up. All in all, it's to take you away and fulfill the promises he made to you in the past. β
Luo Yi lowered his eyes and looked at his stomach: "But if you miss it, you miss it." I've ...... It's not the same me I used to be. β
"So are you having a good time now?" Ye Zhaopei asked her.
"Happy?" Luo Du seemed surprised, how could she ask such a question.
Ye Zhaopei looked at her: "Isn't it to be happy when you are born to be human?" β
Luo Du smiled: "Yes, we were born to be happy." But there are all kinds of pains in life. For example, my parents like their sons more, and I, as a daughter, I am bound to be rejected by them. When I was sixteen, they wanted me to marry off, to have a man who could buy me away. β
Ye Zhaopei didn't speak.
Luo Di's eyes were slightly red, and he looked not far away: "I was very happy when Lu Gou was there before, but he left." I didn't have a lot of fun for long. After he left, I was under a lot of pressure, and I kept saying that he would come back, and he would definitely come back. But day after day, year after year, he didn't come back......"
She looked at Ye Zhaopei: "Miss Ye, do you know that kind of despair? I waited for him, I told myself that he would come and pick me up and that he would come back and marry me. But he didn't. I could wait until I die, but my father won't allow it. So, they knocked me out and threw me into my husband's house. They've all been discussed. β
"My husband gave my father and mother ten taels of silver and bought me. You see, Miss Ye, I am only worth ten taels of silver, and I have become someone else's wife. And before that, I had never met this person. But I woke up, I was naked, and my husband smiled and said to me, you have to give me a baby. β
Ye Zhaopei frowned: "I can take you away." β
Luo Duan shook his head: "I'm not leaving." β
Ye Zhaopei was puzzled: "Why don't you leave?" Do you feel happy here? β
"I'm not happy here," Luo said, "but I can't leave here." I'm already one with my husband and with this family. I can't go. β
Ye Zhaopei frowned, she still didn't understand.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Wait until later, Miss Ye, you will understand why." β
On that day, Ye Zhaopei left in the end, and said that he would come back to see her in a few days and give her time to think about it.
And these so-called days, because of a task ordered by Jiang Zhi, have been delayed for many months. Finally, when Ye Zhaopei finally had time to go to Luo Du again, it was an early summer evening.
The butcher is at home. And he seems to have drunk and, for some reason, is beating Luo Du.
While beating, he angrily reprimanded: "Lao Tzu bought you so that you could give me a son!" And you! You gave me a daughter! Do you know how my brothers laugh at me? β
Ye Zhaopei stood outside the window and saw the butcher's fists and feet, as well as Luo Du, who was huddled in the corner.
She was shedding tears.
Ye Zhaopei recalled Lu Gou.
A man like Lu Gou has always been gentle and elegant, if it were Lu Gou, Luo Du would definitely not cry. He wouldn't bear to beat a woman, even if that woman bore him a daughter, not a son.
But Lu Gou died, and he died under Ye Zhaopei's hands.
Finally, Ye Zhaopei couldn't bear it anymore.
She kicked into the room, picked up the butcher from behind, and asked him coldly, "What kind of skill is it to beat a woman?" β
The butcher struggled vigorously, and Ye Zhaopei threw him to the side and threw him out.
The butcher was thrown by him onto the cupboard, which he smashed.
And this kind of movement finally woke up the child who was still sleeping in the bed.
Luo Du's face was bruised, wiped his tears, and got up to hug his daughter who woke up and was crying.
The butcher stood up against the wall, shook his head, and looked at Ye Zhaopei: "You...... Who are you? β
"It doesn't matter who I am," Ye Zhaopei was expressionless, like a rakshasa, and approached him step by step, "If you dare to hurt Miss Luo, you are an unforgivable sin!" β
The butcher looked at Luo Du on the side: "Your friend? β
He then said hatefully: "I can't see it, you woman can still recognize such a ruthless character!" Are you still in touch with that Lu Gou from the past? You adulterers and adulterers......"
Ye Zhaopei didn't give him a chance to finish his words, and punched him, knocking out half of the butcher's teeth: "Hurt Miss Luo Du, damn it." β
The butcher spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Zhaopei didn't give him a chance to slow down, and then raised his hand and gave him a fist: "Slander me and Lu Gou, damn it." β
The butcher's head was swollen from her beating, and his whole body was a little confused.
And Ye Zhaopei's murderous intent has just risen, where will he be given a chance.
Just as Ye Zhaopei took out the butterfly knife from his sleeve to prepare for his life, Luo Duan held the child in his arms and blocked the butcher.
Her wounds were still on her face, and her tears hadn't dried yet.
She stood in front of the butcher and begged bitterly: "Miss Ye, please, don't mind my family affairs, please, don't hurt my husband......"
"Why?" Ye Zhaopei frowned.
Why did he treat her like this, but she still had to defend him?
Why stay in such a home? Will she be happy then?
Luo Di took a deep breath: "Because I can't...... I can't go. I'm already part of this family, I can't leave this place, and I'm ...... Nor can I lose my husband. My daughter can't live without her father......"
Ye Zhaopei's expression was a little lonely: "What about Lu Gou?" β
Luo Du looked up at her.
Ye Zhaopei said desolately: "He's dead." Before he died, let me take care of you. Don't let you suffer, don't let you be wronged, but what are you doing now? What is your life like now? β
Luo Du's tears fell down in large pieces.
The butcher sneered on the side: "Look! I knew you were still hooking up with that wild man! Luo Du, don't forget, whose lady are you now! β
The child in Luo Du's arms cried loudly, and the whole situation was a mess.
Ye Zhaopei stared at Luo Du.
She's just crying, I don't know what she's crying for, but she's crying.
Ye Zhaopei suddenly put away the butterfly knife in his hand and took a step back: "Forget it." You're right, you're already part of this family. You can't live without, and you can't lose it. β
Luo Du was still crying and didn't look at her.
"I'm leaving." Ye Zhaopei turned around and walked away.
When he was at the door, Ye Zhaopei suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the butcher: "I warn you, if you dare to do anything to Miss Luo Luo again, I will come and take your life." β
After a pause, Ye Zhaopei added: "I'm a beauty sword, you'd better remember my name." β
And a year later, Ye Zhaopei came to this house again, but she didn't see Luo Du, what she saw was a strange woman.
The home is still the butcher's home, but the woman has changed another.
