"That's good, he finally told the truth."
He approached me with a purpose from the very beginning. He couldn't stand life in the countryside and was looking for a way out until he saw me.
He said I was really easy to fool; it was just a little food, yet I fell for it. He said our village was somewhat feudal, and my family was considered quite respected; if my family asked, they would definitely let him go.
When he didn't know how to start the conversation, I presented him with the opportunity. He proposed marriage with hopeful eyes, and as expected, he was beaten.
As expected, we were separated. After I was locked up, he came every day, but he was just wearing down my family's patience. Finally, my family negotiated with him, asking how he could leave me. He said he wanted a spot to return to the city.
My family cursed at him, but he didn't care. He just said he would keep making trouble if we didn't give it to him. We had no choice but to give it to him. My family was afraid that I would be upset, so they didn't tell me. It was such a small gesture of consideration for me that I was tricked into giving it to him.
He said that before he left, he touched his head where he had been hit and became angrier and angrier. So he tricked me into leaving to get revenge for the head injury. Later, he thought he would let me fend for myself, but then he thought that he might as well take the wife he got for free.
However, he was cautious and didn't register our marriage, fearing something might happen in the future. He was right, but it wasn't my turn for trouble; it was his.
What was my state of mind at that time? I probably wanted to die, but then I saw my son. I grabbed his trouser leg and said that my son couldn't live without me. He scoffed, shook me off, picked up our son, and came to my side.
"Son, tell her, do you like her? Do you want to go with her?" In my expectant gaze, the three-year-old spoke clearly, "I don't want her. She's dirty, she's ugly. I don't want her. Daddy, don't give me to her."
Zuo Qingqing was already in tears, her eyes were empty, and she was filled with an aura of despair.
"In the end, I came alone and I left alone. I wanted to pack my things, but I found that I had nothing. I had a set of clothes on me and a change of clothes, but that was all."
I wandered aimlessly through the streets. I had no home, no money, and eventually ended up hiding under a bridge, scavenging for food with homeless people, and thinking about dying every day.
But I wasn't willing to accept it. Why should I be his stepping stone? Just because I'm easy to fool? So I went to their wedding.
I told everyone about his deeds, and his factory manager father-in-law turned pale, probably angry that I came and that he had concealed the truth. In the end, he took it upon himself to give me the house and compensate me with some money.
I stayed here. I was too ashamed to go home. With someone like me in my family, my parents would be scorned in the village. I was afraid.
Then I think I got sick. When I saw loving couples, I wondered if their relationship was worth testing.
I started deliberately seducing those men, and every single one of them fell for my charms. Watching them argue gave me a strange sense of pleasure.
Zuo Qingqing looked at Ye Zhiyu sadly, "When I first met you, I felt that you were different from them, but what cat in the world doesn't steal fish?"
I feel sorry for you because you got married. A girl like you would have remained radiant if you hadn't gotten married. I can't imagine what you would have become once you were bound by marriage.
I started observing you two, and you two are really loving. The main thing is that your husband is different; he puts you first in everything and is most afraid of making you angry. But I still want to give it a try.
You won.
She smiled the most radiant, heartfelt smile Ye Zhiyu had seen since they met.
Ye Zhiyu felt very sorry for her, "You can go home."
Zuo Qingqing shook her head, tears falling with the movement. "There's no going back. My parents will never acknowledge me as their daughter. I've disgraced them. If only I had listened to them."
Ye Zhiyu handed her a piece of paper: "You're not them, how do you know they don't care about you? Go back. Rather than living a half-dead life here, you might as well go home."
Actually, you want to go back, so why not sell the house, take the money, buy a small house back home, and stay with your parents? Life is only lived once; don't leave yourself with regrets.
Zuo Qingqing was lost in thought. Yes, what else could she not bear?
After she left, Ye Zhiyu looked at the table full of dishes and sighed.
“She’s right, she really is sick, and she won’t survive if there’s no hope.”
Depression is not unfamiliar to Ye Zhiyu.
She once witnessed a classmate self-harm because of poor exam results, and the classmate even seemed pleased with himself.
Lu Chen squeezed her hand, "She'll be alright."
The next day, the two went to school, and Ye Zhiyu saw Zuo Qingqing, who was showing a house to someone. It seemed that she had made up her mind.
Upon seeing them, Lu Chen approached and hid behind Ye Zhiyu.
Zuo Qingqing rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not looking for you."
He looked at Ye Zhiyu and said, "I'm going home now. I won't be coming back. Can I write to you after I get back?"
Ye Zhiyu nodded: "Of course, I wish you a peaceful, smooth, happy and joyful life ahead."
Zuo Qingqing: "You too."
When Ye Zhiyu and Lu Chen returned home after class in the afternoon, the building next door was already deserted.
Ye Zhiyu sighed, "Zuo Qingqing is really fast. I'm afraid she'll be heading to the train station as soon as she gets the money."
She must have always wanted to go back, but she was afraid. Now that someone has given her a suggestion, she finally has a reason.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Zhiyu chuckled, "Why are you so relieved?"
"Of course I'm relieved to have someone who's always trying to seduce me."
Indeed, although men have inherent flaws, if she doesn't deliberately seduce him, the couple might be able to live a peaceful and uneventful life together.
Her deliberate seduction is different from someone else's voluntary infidelity. There is no preservative for love. In the end, what matters in marriage is responsibility, conscience, and morality.
Therefore, do not easily test people's hearts, because people's hearts cannot withstand testing.
Speaking of writing letters, Ye Zhiyu thought of Liu Shengnan and the others. They said they would communicate by letter, but so much time has passed and she still hasn't received a single letter.
Speak of the devil, and he appears; I had barely finished mentioning it when I went to school the next day and there were four letters from her.
Liu Shengnan's, Wang Qing's, Wu Wenwen's, and Zhou Xue's.
Liu Shengnan's was the most outstanding; it was very thick and came with a wrapping.
I have a full day of classes today, so I'm thinking of taking it home to watch later.
When the package was opened, it was full of local specialties and other local products from her area; she sent over anything that could be mailed.
Lu Chen: "I thought you guys wouldn't contact each other anymore."
Ye Zhiyu: "At that time, I said I would contact them by letter. My goal was clear, so I just waited for them to send me letters, and then I would send them to them according to the address on the letters."
