Bab 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 .
Bab 33: Starting farming
" Oh sister you are awake ?" Last night Yu Mai slept in Chen Mi 's room , his bed was taken out of the shed by Shen Li and Ye Liu and placed inside Chen Mi 's room . Because their house was small they could only share rooms with one another . Except previous Yu Dong who liked to sleep alone , since the current Yu Dong too didn't like sleeping together with someone - she didn't change the room setting either and let Yu Mai sleep with Chen Mi . She could see that Chen Mi was great with kids so she didn't worry about leaving Yu Mai with Chen Mi .
Who would have thought that Yu Mai who was supposed to be sleeping , would get up early and follow her while she wasn't paying attention .
Yu Dong who was gnawing on her pork dumpling , choked- startled at his sudden appearance . And had to take out a bamboo tube filled with water from her sleeves and only after drinking lot of gulps of water did her coughing finally eased .
Yu Dong wiped her mouth and turned around to look at Yu Mai who has followed her without eating his breakfast which would explain why he was swallowing his saliva as his eyes stared at the pork dumpling in her hand .
Yu Mai looked at the pork dumpling in Yu Dong 's hand and gulped his saliva . His eyes never moved from Yu Dong 's hands , in the end Yu Dong had to take out the dumplings that she packed as her breakfast and lunch and handed them to Yu Mai.
" here you go " she said as she placed the cloth bag in Yu Mai 's hands . As soon as Yu Mai received the dumplings , he started eating them in big bites , all the while giving Yu Dong a silly smile , Yu Dong watched him eat and then rubbed his head " alright , what are you doing here ? Shouldn't you be sleeping with brother Chen Mi right now ?"
" I woke up early like sister " said Yu Mai simply , his mouth covered with oil as he licked his fingers " I want to go out and play too "
Yu Dong 's lips twitched, if she wasn't wrong when Yu Mai was three years old - the previous host would sometimes say that she was going to play when she was actually going out to drink and whore around with the mers at the brothel . It looks like that Yu Mai didn't remember much from his childhood but he remembered that every time his sister went out , she was going out to play .
" I'm not going to play " though Yu Dong didn't want to break Yu Mai 's bubble , she still patiently explained him . She would take him out to play some other day " Today , I'm going to the fields , if you want to play then elder sister would take you out to play some other day , will that be okay ?"
" You are going to the fields ?" asked Yu Mai starting on his third dumpling
"Yes " Yu Dong nodded and silently swallowed down her saliva and tried to ignore her aching stomach . She was a spiritual cultivator and she got hungry really fast , since she knew she was going to sow seeds in her fields today , she absorbed more spiritual energy from the nature which made her really hungry .
Which was why despite her tight schedule she cooked the pork dumplings . She was looking forward to eating her fill so that her stomach would stop growling but instead all her dumplings went in Yu Mai 's stomach ! Ah !
Yu Dong wanted to go back home and bring Yu Mai 's share of dumplings but the thing was they were already covered half of the distance between their fields and house . So , Yu Dong didn't think that it would be smart of her to walk all the way back to her house only for a few dumplings .
Alright , she was a grown up woman . Growl . Those dumplings .
She would be able to withstand her hunger . Growl . It smells delicious whined her stomach .
Shut up . Snarled Yu Dong as she straightened up .
But those dumplings , complained her stomach crying injustice .
" Is there anything in our fields ?"asked Yu Mai naively , he didn't remember seeing his eldest sister work in the fields ever .
At his question , Yu Dong rubbed her nose uncomfortably feeling a bit embarrassed . The previous owner really didn't farm at all , forget about farming - she was such a bratty princess , that she believed that working in the fields were the job of mers not her - the head of the house .
Yu Dong already knew it and that's why she was only going to check on those fields today but when Yu Mai asked such a question - despite not being the person responsible for this mess , Yu Dong still felt her face burn with humiliation .
" no , that's why I was going to sow these seeds in it first " said Yu Dong tentatively as she waved the packet of seeds that she has brought with her .
When Yu Mai heard that his sister was going to sow seeds in the fields he became excited . His face lit up with expectations and Yu Dong who was actually going to ask him go back to their house became silent .
"…" this face how was she supposed to say ' go back ' to him when he was this excited ?
" Let's go " she had no other choice but to bring Yu Mai with her , she just have to work really hard . Originally she was hoping to sow those seeds with her spiritual power but now it looks like she have to do it old style .
Ughh , why can't she say no ? If this goes on - Yu Mai will become a spoiled brat !
Yu Mai didn't know that his sister was actually worrying about him getting spoiled . He clutched on Yu Dong 's sleeves and kept following her - however his steps were too small and he walked really slowly , in the end Yu Dong picked him up .
Yu Mai was a simple child when he saw that his sister was willing to pick him up more and more, he immediately forgot about their past feuds and happily wrapped his arms around Yu Dong 's neck .
Yu Dong had to walk a very long distance before she reached her five mus of land . She squinted her eyes and looked at her field , this fields were given by the old Yu family and she had an inkling that the old Yu family deliberately gave the previous Yu Dong this field that was so far away from her residence. The original owner was a lazy bum , would she ever wake up early and then walk this far away to actually plant seeds ? Of course not !
However , Yu Dong didn't have any time to fight for justice for the original owner . It was better to have some fields instead of having nothing right ?
