Chapitre 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 .
