Ex-fiancee?
Lin Lixuan turned this concept around in his head. He remembered who Shen Youyun was. Wasn’t she the woman who reneged on their engagement and married the son of the neighbor county’s county magistrate? When their wedding was canceled, she even pretended to cry and say she was sorry for him. But when the original owner of the body went to find her, Shen Youyun was obviously smiling very happily. She didn’t look like someone who’d been forced at all. Sore wore gold, silver and heavy makeup. She was obviously a bird who’d climbed up a strong branch.
Besides, Lin Lixuan became a fool after falling in the water, and she never cared. Old Man Han and Zhao Liniang were so good to her back then, that they even treated her like their own daughter. She was an ungrateful bastard. She didn’t even care when the Lin family had troubles and came to find them now that they were doing well.
“Her? Why did she come to find me?” It definitely wasn’t for anything good. What did she have to do with Lin Lixuan? Why were Ger Yan and Zhao Liniang so cold to him?
Something must have happened.
“She said that she and her husband divorced and separated. She said she still has you in her heart and wanted to be with you again…s-she said she wanted to marry you…s-s-she also blamed your mother for being ruthless and forcing you to marry a Shuang’er, saying that you used to hate Shuang’ers the most. You thought it was shameful for a scholar to marry a Shuang’er who was neither a man or a woman…” Ger Yan said while looking up to see Lin Lixuan’s expression.
Seeing that Lin Lixuan’s expression was unreadable, it didn’t look angry or happy, Ger Yan didn’t understand what Lin-dage was thinking. He added, “Lin-dage, do you still have her in her heart?”
Lin Lixuan pursed his lips and angrily used his hand to press Ger Yan’s hand. He accidentally pulled his hair, making the other party cover his hair in pain. “Do you think I still have her in my heart?”
“I don’t know,” Ger Yan said angrily.
“My heart is full of Ger Yan now. You must want me to say this.” Lin Lixuan crossed his arms and looked at Ger Yan who was puffing on the bed.
“Is that not how you really feel?” Ger Yan glared at him. His eyes protruded out as much as his cheeks.
“Yes, yes, yes… Ger Yan, you already know I only have you in my heart, so why are you getting jealous all by yourself? Aren’t you afraid of the vinegar? I can smell it all the way from outside.” Lin Lixuan approached him and sniffed his hair, sideburns, ear, and collarbone like a puppy. “Let me carefully smell how sour it is.”
“You’re changing the subject again. I’m not jealous.” Ger Yan rolled in a circle on the bed. He rolled from one side to the other, avoiding the approaching Lin Lixuan.
“You’re saying you’re not jealous, but you obviously look like you’re drowning in vinegar.”
“I’m very angry right now. Just as angry as Mother.” Seeing Lin Lixuan’s appearance, he suddenly recalled what Shen Youyun said outside the courtyard.
“Be angry if you want, but don’t take your anger out on me. If she comes back, just drive her out and ignore her.” Lin Lixuan was the wronged party here. It was raining and he got drenched. He felt like his entire body was drowning in this rain.
“Shen Youyun is your ex-fiancee. If we don’t blame you, then who should we blame?” Thinking of the affection and love between Lin-dage and her in the past, Ger Yan felt sourness bubble in his heart. The sourness bubbled more, making him so uncomfortable.
“It’s like you said, she’s my ex-fiancee, but who’s my current husband?” “It’s my Ger Yan.”
“But you two used to get along so well in the past. You liked her so much… What if you rekindle your old love and fall in love with her again and leave me behind…”
“Right now you’re saying you’ll kick her out if she returns, but what if you see her and kick me out instead?” Ger Yan’s mind was blank. He said whatever came to his mind. Even if something would never happen, people couldn’t help but think about it.
“Don’t say even more outrageous things little Ji Yan.” Lin Lixuan approached him and pinched his cheeks with his hands. “The two of us have shared a bed for over two years, yet you still don’t trust me?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just feel uncomfortable. I don’t have any place to vent my anger.” Ger Yan tilted his head to the side and looked at the bedpost in a daze. His nose slowly felt even more sour.
If Shen Youyun hadn’t gone back on her original engagement, then she would be with Lin-dage right now… As long as he thought about this, Ger Yan couldn’t bear it. A strong possessive desire emerged in his heart. This strong desire made him even more flustered…
He didn’t want Lin Lixuan to see that woman. Even if Lin Lixuan didn’t have her in his heart, he didn’t want them to meet.
“Then you can vent this anger right now. Don’t keep it in your heart. You can scold me or beat me.”
“I couldn’t bear to do that…”
“Alright, don’t think about Shen Youyun anymore. She’s just a person who appeared out of nowhere to disturb our lives. Don’t put her in your heart. The next time she returns, we’ll kick her out together.”
“Then…don’t regret it.”
The next morning, Lin Lixuan got up early to exercise and run around the yard. Zhao Liniang had already gotten up and was feeding the chickens and ducks. Ger Yu was cooking the pigs’ food. Ger Yan didn’t get up. She should have been the one to cook the pigs’ food, but he had been severely punished by Lin Lixuan last night for not trusting him, so poor Ger Yu was assigned the task by Lin Lixuan.
After exercising, he squatted beside Zhao Liniang’s newly cultivated vegetable patch to pull weeds. This was the most annoying task for those who planted crops, just like those invasive insects.
After exhaling deeply, Lin Lixuan first went to see poor Ger Yu. Ger Yu was nestled by the fire, occasionally throwing a handful of firewood into the flames. The firewood crackled as it burned. There would be a spark of fire from time to time. The pot was hung half a person high. Ger Yu took the wooden scoop and stirred the pot every once in a while.
“Brother-in-law, you have to go with me to feed the pigs later.” Ger Yu got up so early and was recruited to work. He was filled with resentment as he stirred the pot.
“Okay,” Lin Lixuan readily agreed. It was just feeding the pigs.
Their family raised four pigs. The pigs weren’t stupid. They were pretty smart. When they heard movement, they would immediately gather around the trough excitedly. They squeezed against each other, fearing they would miss out on the food.
Lin Lixuan poured pig food into the trough spoonful by spoonful. Pink and white butts lined up along the trough humming and snorting. The pigs’ noses were big and round.
Feeding pigs was a really laborious task. These little things were very persistent and enthusiastic about eating. They were obviously fed everyday, but they acted as if they’d been starving for three or four days.
A white and tender sow rubbed Lin Lixuan’s wrist and wiggled her pig nose. This made Lin Lixuan retract his hand in fright.
After feeding, Lin Lixuan felt that he was full of the smell of pig food and the pigs themselves. He couldn’t stand it. He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he went to the yard to fetch some water to wash his hands.
The gate of the courtyard was open to let the place air out. The mountains and fields outside were vast. The white clouds floated in the sky. It was a cloudy day without the sun visible.
Shen Youyun stayed at Liu Tiao’Er’s house for the night, but she was very uncomfortable. She had never lived in such a shabby and poor place before. The bowl and chopsticks weren’t clean either. Shen Youyun couldn’t swallow while eating, and the food…Could this person called Liu Tiao’Er even cook? The rice porridge was boiled so thinly, and the salted vegetables tasted bitter to her. No wonder he could only marry a peasant man from the village.
My god, would there be bugs where she slept tonight? Could she even sleep on this kind of bed with this kind of quilt? Shen Youyun was choked by all of this.
She was lying on the rag covered bed in her beautiful dress. She felt like there was a worm crawling all over her body, and she couldn’t help but rub her arms.
Every moment staying at Liu Tiao’Er’s house was torture. Shen Youyun was so annoyed with Lin Lixuan and blamed him. Why didn’t that person return home? if he was there, she wouldn’t need to be reduced to living in such a horrible place.
Liu Tiao’Er was tossed around by Shen Youyun long enough. He shouldn’t have invited this plague into his home. After Shen Youyun entered their house, she looked all around and looked down on everything, saying it wasn’t good enough. The food was disgusting, fine, but the most unbearable thing for Liu Tiao’Er was that his husband actually kept looking at Shen Youyun.
My god. This woman hasn’t seduced Xiucai Lin yet, so would she seduce his husband first…
Liu Tiao’Er thought he was really blind.
“You dare look at her. Don’t even think about it. She would never be interested in you.” Liu Tiao’Er pushed his husband into the room.
“…I was only looking.”
“What for!” “I’m telling you, even if you were lucky, Shen Youyun still wouldn’t look at you. She likes Boss Lin.”
“Yo, yo, yo. Why are you so angry? I was only looking. Don’t speak so terribly. She doesn’t like me and I don’t want to marry her. Just look at that woman, she dislikes everything. Besides her face, is there anything good about her?”
“Hmph, as long as you know.”
“I don’t think Xiucai Lin will like her. I’m a man, so I know best. Tell me, this Shen Youyun, besides being a woman, how is she better than Ger Yan?” I think Ger Yan is better…”
“You!” “Get lost!”
“Hey, what are you doing? You pushed me inside the room earlier and now you’re kicking me out? Liu Tiao’Er, don’t go overboard!”
“If Ger Yan and Shen Youyun are that good, then go find them. I’m packing up and returning to my family home.”
“You, you, you! You’re using this to threaten me again!” “Fine, I was wrong. I won’t look at that woman again… Liu Tiao’Er, little Liu Tiao’Er. I already promised you, so what are you making a fuss for… Even if you cooked pig feed, I’ll still eat it!”
Shen Youyun got up early in the morning to dress up. She didn’t want to look sloppy when she met Lin Lixuan. She didn’t sleep well last night. Fortunately, she was naturally beautiful, so her eyes weren’t puffy or else she would have died of anger.
Shen Youyun kept looking at Liu Tiao’Er’s worn-out brass mirror. She feared she wouldn’t look good. After the morning passed, she finally left.
If she hadn’t heard Liu Tiao’Er’s husband say that when he passed by the Lin resident earlier, he saw Lin Lixuan, then Shen Youyun would have been reluctant to leave the mirror. When she left, she gave Liu Tiao’Er’s husband a grateful look.
Shen Youyun’s thoughts were beautiful. The other party would definitely be infatuated with her.
Unexpectedly, after shivering, she looked at the person behind him and saw an angry Liu Tiao’Er.
