Chapter 125 Always Granting Requests
When the two arrived home, Su Yuanzheng was decorating the nursery, having gathered a pile of seashells to create a seashell wall.
The colorful hues are absolutely gorgeous.
When Xia Yutong was a child, she liked to watch a TV series. The female lead in the series had a particular fondness for collecting seashells, which Xia Yutong greatly admired.
However, in places like Haicheng, although it is located along the sea, most of the beaches are not open to the public and are heavily commercialized.
Their village to the south is even further from the sea.
Knowing that she liked them, Su Yuanzheng went to the nearby stream to collect clam shells for her. The little boy was wearing shorts, and his lower body was almost submerged in the water. He called over many other children of the same age to help him collect them.
At first, I only touched a few, but then I touched more and more, until I had to carry them back in a basket.
There was too much stuff to carry in the basket, so several adults had to bring carrying poles to carry it back.
A large pile of clam shells was stacked in the Su family's courtyard. In the middle of summer, the stench was unbearable. Su Yuanzheng excitedly ran upstairs and saw the little girl covering her mouth and dry heaving.
He was covered in mud and water, looking disheveled, but he excitedly told her, "Little sister, I got a lot of seashells that you like."
He reached out and pulled her up, smearing mud all over her. Xia Yutong burst into tears in anger.
When Xia Yutong suddenly brought up this matter, Su Yuanzheng couldn't help but blush.
"I thought you liked it, so I spent a whole day working on it."
“I like seashells, these colorful, pretty ones, instead of those dark, black clam shells. Who would like a dark, black clam shell?”
Xia Yutong suddenly laughed, her gaze deepening as she looked at him. "Su Yuanzheng, you're so wooden!"
The man didn't speak, his face flushing again. "Tongtong, do you like this seashell now?"
"like."
To her, Su Yuanzheng was a very annoying person. Her parents had died, and she was afraid and uneasy about living in his house in an unfamiliar environment.
She wasn't sure if Su Jianguo would really treat her well. She was afraid that if she disobeyed him, he would abandon her or sell her.
Upon arriving at the Su family's home, looking at this poor and remote place, she felt even more terrified.
The little girl didn't really know how to protect herself, so she could only do her best to be obedient, sensible, and not be disliked by others...
Before she could even start trying to please everyone, she encountered the filthy Su Yuanzheng.
He looked terrifying, giving off a very malicious vibe. The first time I saw him, he was filthy, covered in mud, like a mudfish that had rolled around in the mud.
He was taller than her, his lips were chapped, and when he smiled it was even more terrifying, his mouth would bleed, as if an invisible cut had been made to his lips.
He was already afraid of her, but Su Jianguo said, "This is my brother, Yutong."
She forced herself to call out to him, "Brother..."
The next second, he touched the blood on his lips, deliberately trying to scare her, "Look, this is blood!"
She screamed in fright, but he didn't stop. Instead, he searched for scars on her body, picking at them and deliberately letting blood flow out. "Look, there's blood here, this is blood!"
He's like a psychopath, making people both afraid and disgusted.
But living under someone else's roof, she had no one to rely on but Su Jianguo.
Even though Xia Yutong was so scared she cried, there was nothing she could do about it. Under the same roof, she could only smile when she saw him.
She thought to herself that her parents had taught her not to hit a smiling face, and that if she was obedient and kind to everyone, no one would dislike her.
But she was wrong. Even though she tried so hard to please everyone, some people still wouldn't take her bait.
She always kept her head down and looked at Su Jianguo's son with meek eyes, but he always seemed to deliberately provoke her.
He would deliberately catch bugs to scare her, and when he saw her wailing and her face turn pale, he would laugh, laugh with great joy...
The insects he caught were getting bigger and brighter in color than the last, and each one terrified her more than the last.
She wanted to run away from home and leave this small village many times.
But she didn't know where she could go.
Apart from Su Yuanzheng, everyone else treated her quite well.
She had no choice but to endure it, endure it time and time again, only to see him escalate his behavior each time...
He just didn't like her. No matter how kindly she tried to befriend him or how sincerely she tried to reconcile, he wouldn't accept it.
She said, "Brother, is there something I did wrong that you don't like me?"
"Brother, can I apologize to you?"
Su Yuanzheng always had that annoying look. Seeing that he was standing there silently, she even went over and took his hand, "Brother, hug me, I'm scared of bugs..."
Nevertheless, he would still come to scare her next time, until she screamed and burst into tears.
Later, she was so frightened that she developed a fever that night, so he stopped scaring her.
But he is still annoying.
He deliberately reopened her wound and asked, "Are your parents really dead?"
It instantly reminded her of how good her parents had been to her, and she couldn't help but cry, reminiscing about the happy times when her parents were alive.
After that, he treated her a little better, stopped scaring her, and stopped mentioning her parents, but he provoked her in an even more annoying way.
At night, he would always sneak into her bed, knowing full well that she disliked him and hated him, but he deliberately upset her and insisted on sleeping with her in his arms.
She pleaded with him many times to stop, but he only became more brazen and outrageous.
He even said that when he grows up, he wants to sleep with her and have many, many children with her.
She was very young then, attending the primary school in the southern village. Children are always the most talkative, and they love to make conversation even when they have nothing to say. Su Yuanzheng said this in front of many people.
"Don't you dare bully her, she's going to be my bride!"
From then on, she was always labeled as the "child bride of the Su family," a label she couldn't shake off even as she grew up.
At the Su family home, Xia Yutong repeatedly told herself that she had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. What was Su Yuanzheng anyway? One day, she would teach him a lesson.
But as he grew older, into his teens, he began to take on the characteristics of a teenager. He stopped doing things that annoyed her, and he would often blush when he saw her.
Not to mention anything about sneaking into bed with her in the middle of the night, he wouldn't dare, and he would blush if he even touched her hand.
Xia Yutong wasn't stupid; she could tell that Su Yuanzheng, that country bumpkin, actually liked her.
So she started acting up, saying things like, "Brother, I want to eat cake."
She knew he had no money, so she said that on purpose. Su Yuanzheng then went to earn money, working himself to the bone to save up enough to buy her the things she wanted.
Having tasted success, Xia Yutong became even more demanding, "Brother, my grades aren't good, can you teach me?"
Of course, Su Yuanzheng later granted her almost every request, and she was all he could think about.
