Chapter 31: Let this be the end

Shen Li immediately realised that he has troubled everyone even though his motives were good and he sincerely wanted to pay his respects to Yu Dong his original wife, his actions were a bit hasty and he made everyone wait for him "I am really sorry about this I wanted to come home as soon as possible but the town is really far and aunt Wang's ox cart is already off duty. So I couldn't go to the town and purchase these in the end I have to ask around the village that is why it took a little more time than I expected it to ."

Yu Dong shook her head and picked up the pot in which she had cooked the stir fried pork and brought it to the table "Its fine. I do understand your feelings if I were you I too would be in a hurry to pay my respect to my husband if he passed away and I had no idea about it -it's my bad that I couldn't tell you or anyone else about this matter."

Shen Li didn't know how to tell Yu Dong that he wasn't in a hurry to pay his respect to his wife's soul. It was just his duty as her husband , a responsibility he was itching to finish as soon as possible so that he could get rid of his title as ' Yu Dong 's husband ' , before he didn't knew about it so it was alright that he didn't prayed for his wife but now that he knew he couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

As Yu Dong's first husband it was his duty as well as his responsibility to follow the customs and do what was expected of him - that was it nothing more . He wasn't in fact even upset that his wife was no more because he had her . And if this was some sort of refund from God for making his life full of sufferings then Shen Li wasn't even upset with Yu Dong 's death , to momentarily becoming a widower was the right price in his eyes for getting such a gentle wife in return .

He smiled ruefully and said "I will take these incense sticks and joss paper in my room you can call the others for dinner. I will wash my hands and come to the dining table after that."

Yu Dong didn't say anything she thought that Shen Li was feeling melancholic because he just found out his wife was no more. Even though the previous Yu Dong wasn't a really good person, she was still Shen Li's wife whom he had been married for so many years. It was inevident that he might feel a bit upset about loosing his wife at such a young age. Therefore she served him an extra portion of the fried pork when Shen Li returned to the dining table.

Since Chen Mi could move around without feeling uncomfortable everyone once again started eating at the dining table. Yu Mai who was hungry like a starving ghost eat with relish, he didn't even looked up from his bone and kept chomping on thick, fatty piece of pork until his mouth was glistening with oil. It has been months since last time he ate meat was when his parents were still alive to dote on him. Yu Mai was slow but he wasn't stupid, he knew that his parents were no longer around to dote on him anymore.

Now the only family he had was his sister, his brother in laws and his little nephew he didn't want to accept that bad Yu family as his own - his cousins bullied him and his aunt and uncle in law were baised .

Therefore, Yu Mai was really happy that his sister was doting on him just like his parents did. Chen Mi was busy feeding little bun. Since they didn't have any milk today either Yu Dong had to once again purchase the goat milk from aunt Wang. The three goats that his wife brought were cheap because they were sick therefore they couldn't give any milk currently and even they did Chen Mi would be too scared to feed little bun the milk from a sick goat even if it was boil. Therefore he was really glad that Yu Dong suggested that they should made for the three goats to recover completely before they start feeding little bun there milk.

Ye Liu was the only one who wasn't busy stuffing his face or playing with a little baby therefore he noticed the small interactions that were happening between Yu Dong and Shen Li. Even though Yu Dong wasn't saying anything and Shen Li wasn't talking either, Ye Liu still felt that the two of them whether close than before. Ye Liu was happy that Yu Dong was finally treating elder brother Shen nicely, he still felt a pang of annoyance seeing that Yu Dong was only paying attention to elder brother Shen and not anyone else.

Though Ye Liu was annoyed he didn't know that he was actually feeling jealous of Shen Li. But even if he knew he was too kind full to beg for Yu Dong's attention .

Thus , the dinner ended just like that - everyone was in different mood . Yu Mai and Chen Mi were happy while Ye Liu was feeling both upset and jolly - he was happy that Yu Dong was treating them right but he was also feeling annoyed that she wasn't treating him with special care . Didn't he stayed with her just as much as Elder brother Shen did ? He too was married to her for two years dang it ! And he too suffered under her - he needed extra portion served too !

Shen Li who was standing in the back yard with a complicated mood didn't know that he was being envied - all his attention was on the moon and the incense that was burning in a corner . The cicadas crooked and chirped - creating an atmosphere full of serenity but Shen Li wasn't able to enjoy it .

He took out some joss papers and burnt them as his offerings before bowing in front of the moon . He couldn't make a memorial tablet as Yu Dong 's body was still alive with a soul , if he made a memorial tablet who knows what others would think maybe they will think that he was cursing her -or something .

Not to forget , having a memorial tablet made when the person was still kicking and alive with a different soul - seemed like bringing bad luck on the person .

Shen Li didn't want to bring bad luck to the current Yu Dong , the one who was treating him like he was human too . Who wasn't looking at him with scorn or disgust but as a partner who was worthy of her respect , care and attention .

" Its been awhile , huh ?" he whispered so softly that even the whispering of the cicadas and the rustling leaves drowned his voice . However , Shen Li had a feeling that Yu Dong wherever she was listening to him , thus he straightened up and looked at the swirl of incense smoke that was rising and falling before disintegrating in thin wisps " I promised mother in law that I would take care of you , and believe me when I say that I tried . I really tried Yu Dong - You used me like I was some sort of loose man your mother brought to please you and I let you stomp on my pride and dignity until nothing was left . I let you use my body as you pleased , until I couldn't help but feel disgusted by its very own existence- by your lust . But I did what your mother wanted me to , I took care of you - even when you beat me , hit me until I bled , starved me - I took care of you . I have cleaned your bile , your vomit full of the stench of alcohol- held you up when you were drunk until you longer recognised your own husbands , watched you flirt and touch other mers , without batting an eye . But I'm tried - I can no longer take care of you , I can't stay as your widower my entire life . Because let's be honest you never treated me as your husband either - Yu Dong , I feel something for the kind soul who replaced you - I can't just continue living as your widower and not move on . I'm sorry for being selfish , but I can't do it . So let this be the end alright ?"


Chapter 32: Checking the fields

Shen Li stood at the corner of the backyard , his eyes firmly locked at the moon . It wasn't that he was a totally apathetic person but Yu Dong had made him like such , he too once had a deep love and expectations regarding her . The day Mother Ye brought him to her house as her daughter's groom , Shen Li had been full of hope .

The second he took a glance of Yu Dong 's pretty face , he thought that he was really lucky to have such a beautiful wife as his life partner . But soon life showed him how wrong he was , Yu Dong was cruel and ruthless , she just like the others didn't put the mers in her eyes and thought of them as nothing but tools to fulfil her desires .

As her husband he needed to slave after her , take care of her needs and as the son in law of the Ye family he had to work as a labourer . From dawn to dusk , he worked until his limbs started to ache and when night came , Shen Li wanted nothing more than to sleep but Yu Dong - wouldn't let him have that moment of peace either . Together Yu Dong and Yu family completely destroyed whatever hope he had for his future , Shen Li had totally given up on his life but now that he had another chance to live a life that he wanted to , he didn't want to hold himself back anymore .

So what if he was being selfish ? He was someone who had once given up on himself and his life completely . With this sudden change , Shen Li had another chance to at happiness and he didn't want to be foolish enough to let this chance go .

" Tell mother in law , that I'm sorry for not living up to her expectations " said Shen Li after a long pause , his voice was calm totally devoid of any emotion as if he was paying his respects for someone he casually knew and not his wife with whom he has been married for more than four years " But if you meet with mother in law ,remember to ask for forgiveness first . You have done her so much wrong that I don't think that she would be willing to forgive you . And also remember to bow to father in law , you sold off Yu Mai despite knowing how much he loved him , now that you are in front of king of Yama - be courteous and ask for a second chance humbly . " he paused , his soft whispering coming to a stop as he struggled to say his final words to Yu Dong " and if you ever get your reincarnation , please don't come look for me . Because I sincerely hope that whatever strings that held us together as husband and wife break in this life , let this be a farewell for eternity Yu Dong "

A soft gush of wind blew past him , and the calm swirl of the incense dissipated . The bits of burnt joss paper rolled in a circle on the ground before coming to a stop near his feet . Shen Li stared at the pieces then looked up at the faint swirl of incense before whispering "I'm sorry but I will never forgive you "

The soft wind once again flickered around him but this time Shen Li didn't stop and turned around to walk inside the house . But just as he just going to threshold , the gust of wind blew past him bringing the bits of burnt joss paper with it , as if wanting him to stop . Shen Li paused then looked over his shoulder , before shaking his head" just go and get reincarnated . You are no longer wanted here , we are happy and with her here , your son will have a better life with her here. You can rest in peace " he hesitated then swallowed looking forward once again" and I don't hate you , I can't forgive you but I don't hate you but I can't forgive you - so go on , let us all be in peace "

The fluttering joss paper stopped and the gust of soft winds died completely .

" Elder brother Li , where did you go ?" Ye Liu who was rolling on his new mattress abruptly stopped and looked up at Shen Li with an embarrassed expression . Ye Liu always made himself look like he was more mature and serious than Chen Mi , but today he was actually caught by his elder brother Shen while rolling on the bed , so how could he be not embarrassed ?

" Just went on a walk " said Shen Li , he acted as if he didn't see Ye Liu rolling on the bed . He didn't think even once about telling Ye Liu and Chen Mi about Yu Dong 's passing away . The two of them were still young and it was okay for the two to be carefree and happy -now that they finally had a chance to be really taste the sweetness of happiness , Shen Li wouldn't tell them about the soul exchange of Yu Dong with another person .

He would wait for them to slowly fall for the current Yu Dong, so that it won't be hard for them to accept her just like him .

" Ah , on a walk ?" blinking slightly Ye Liu snuggled inside his quilt " you should have asked me to come as well , I have been stuck in the house for weeks "

It was the truth , since they knew that Chen Mi was going to give birth at any moment - both Ye Liu and Shen Li stopped going out of the house and started focussing on Chen Mi from the past few weeks . Thus , it wasn't a surprise that even the most introverted Ye Liu was bored with staying at home.

Shen Li looked at Ye Liu who was completely snuggled inside his quilt with only two shiny , twinkling eyes peeking out and smiled before rubbing his head " En , forgive Elder Brother . Next time I will take you with me , alright ?"

" En " agreed Ye Liu with a smile before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep .

Shen Li too took off his shoes and went inside his quilt , he too needed some rest after going through so much in a day .

Yu Dong who was already asleep by the time Ye Liu and Shen Li went to sleep , was the first to wake up the next morning . Today , she wasn't going to hunt but instead she wanted to check on her fields that the original owner got from the Yu family at the time of separation though she had a feeling that it would be nothing good . She still stretched herself , washed herself and cooked some breakfast for her husbands before going out of the house to check on the fields .
