My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Smelled carefully, the water smells of excrement.

“Well, you bad girl, how dare you throw your foot-washing water on me?!” Cao fulminates with anger and says: “Just like your lustful father, sooner or later, you will elope with someone as well!”

Elope with someone?

Jin Weiwei frowns and recollects.

In fact, Jin Weiwei’s father is not a good man. After her mother died, he couldn’t bear the loneliness of being single and remarried with Cao. However, soon after, he committed adultery with widow Zhang, the richest woman in the village. At last, feeling unhappy in the village, they took all the money of the their families and eloped.

Alas, poor Jin Weiwei. Her father is a mercenary goat and her stepmother is a bossy woman. But, then, she should not be burdened with the task of expiating her father’s faults. In a word, Jin Weiwei is not a doormat.

Jin Weiwei knocks heavily on the empty basin, raises her voice and says slowly:

“You must know why my father doesn’t love you, don’t you? You carry on a clandestine love affair with others and cuckolds my father. Shame on you to argue here! If you keep on importuning me, I will give you a pot of shit from latrine, bad lady!” People laugh, and even some of them are making a fuss and asking Weiwei to hurry to do it. .

Cao shivers without saying anything. She knows that she can’t get into Jin’s courtyard today. In such a case, she would rather find some place to hide herself than be a laughingstock here.

“You, remember, I will get even with you later!” Cao spits angry menaces at Weiwei, and immediately runs away from the crowd.

Jin Weiwei raises her head and smiles. The first battle, she wins.

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come single. Here comes heavy rain soon after Cao comes out. She has nowhere to go and rushes into the ruined temple outside the village.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao enters the temple, she meets the little beggar whom she utilized to frame Jin Weiwei.

“Who?” The little beggar hears Cao’s intrusion and immediately sits up from the grass mat.

Cao notices the little beggar’s vigilance and is afraid of being expelled. So, she smiles obsequiously and says: “I am Cao of the Jin family in the east of the village. I just pass by the temple and want to take shelter from the rain here. Could you please let me stay for a while, my friend?”

However, the little beggar looks her up and down in insusceptible manner, though she is in great embarrassment. His thin lips move slightly and he mercilessly says two words:

“Get out.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

His slight but august voice threatens Cao. “I remember this little beggar is also a simpleton. How could it be? He is not fool at all.”

How can a fool look at people this way?

Cao mutters to herself, quietly walks to one side and looks narrowly at him.

Although the little beggar’s unkempt hair covers most of his face, the injury on his forehead is clearly seen by Cao at a glance.

“Friend, you’re injured?” Cao asks with hypocritical concern.

The little beggar ignores her and sits cross-legged on the grass mat with his eyes closed.

Finding wound is new, Cao comes up with one idea. That wicked girl came to the broken temple today, didn’t she? The injury may have something to do with her.

“Even if she is innocent, I will let her be responsible for the wound. She destroys my happiness, I won’t let this bad girl enjoy an easy time.”

“Friend, you’ve got a beating wound. Do you know who beat you?” Cao tentatively asks.

The little beggar slowly opens his eyes and looks at Cao fiercely.

“I, I know who beat you!”

Cao is greatly shocked by his eyes and dares not to tantalize him any more. She tells him what has happened this morning and adds the highly colored details to it. So, the story goes that Jin Weiwei intended to insult the beggar and the beggar strongly resisted. When Weiwei became angry from embarrassment and bit him, Feng and Cao rushed in and saved him.

The more the little beggar listens, the more tightly he frowns. He asks: “Who is the person you are talking about?”

“Jin Weiwei of butcher shop in the western village. She……, She is the one who beat you.”

Cao wants to continue her lie, however, the little beggar suddenly stands up and strides out.

Huh-huh-huh!

Who is knocking at the door on such a stormy day? Is the shameless Cao coming back again?

Jin Weiwei doesn’t want to pay any attention to the knocking, but the sound of knocking is getting louder and louder. She has no choice but hold an umbrella and comes out to see.

Is this the pretty beggar in the shabby temple this morning?

How could he find here?

For revenge? For shelter?

For his pretty face, there is no reason to leave him alone and get wet in the rain.

Without wasting any time, Jin Weiwei opens the door and wants to pull him in. However, the responsive beggar leans his body and avoids her touch.

“How silly you are! Why you escape me. The rain is heavy. Come in with me!” Jin Weiwei takes another step forward, grabs the silly beggar’s wrist and drags him into the house.

Entering the house, the little beggar looks around and makes sure that Jin Weiwei is at home alone.

He lifts his hair directly and points to the injury on his forehead: “Did you hit me?”

Well, he is coming for his wound. However, Jin Weiwei has the courage to take the blame for what she does because she is an honest and brave girl.

Jin Weiwei raises her eyebrows. “Yes, I did. So what? Didn’t you hit me?

The little beggar also raises his eyebrows and says: “Now that you’ve hit me, you should be responsible for me.”
