Chapter 2: Our Wife Didn’t Run Away
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Wife, say something! What’s the matter? Why don’t you come out?” Ye Ling didn’t hear any answer, so he knocked on the wooden door of the outhouse again.
Since it was impossible to stay there until the “great aunt” left, Liu Duo rubbed her numb thighs and legs as if she had to be ready for anything. She said, “Would you please find a female neighbor and let her come around? It’s an emergency.”
Upon hearing that she wanted him to leave, Ye Ling didn’t agree, because he thought Liu Duo was looking for a chance to escape again.
“No. I can’t leave, or you will run away again. Wife, my brothers and I will treat you well. Please don’t bear the thought of escape in mind. Get out here, please.”
Dear Lord. Liu Duo was quite muddled. How could she run away at this very moment when the “great aunt” rushed and her legs were extremely numb? Since no sanitary pad was used in this time, how could she get any clue what to use unless she asked a female local?
She said, “Fourth Brother, don’t worry. I won’t run. The problem is that I must find a female, or I can’t get out. Do you want me to stay in the outhouse forever?”
“But.....but, nobody will be at home if I go out. How do I explain to my brothers if you run away?” Ye Ling paused and pondered, worrying Liu Duo might take the chance to escape.
Liu Duo, who was angrily rolling her eyes, felt furious. Run, run, where could she possibly run to by herself? She was a complete stranger in town. In addition, the official identity document was mandatory in ancient time in order to travel throughout the country, which was so called the “certificate of identification” or “the household registration.”
Since the day when she was sold to Ye brothers by her vicious grandma, her document was added to the Ye clan accordingly. Ah, why did I have such a miserable life?
Liu Duo explained to him patiently, yet helplessly, “Don’t worry. I won’t run. My ‘great aunt’ has come, but I don’t have the stuff needed. That’s why I need you to find a female neighbor for me. She can help me out.”
“The great aunt? Wife, is your relative coming?” Ye Ling was confused. He remembered that when they bought the wife the day before, Liu Duo’s family said that they would neither come to see her nor want to be visited when.
“I am going crazy.” Rage was burning in Liu Duo’s heart!
“Ah...My menstruation occurred, which happens to women once every month. Do you understand? If you do, hurry and help me find a female neighbor. I need to borrow something necessary. My legs are too numb to bear any longer!”
Once hearing Liu Duo’s furious words, Ye Ling’s face felt terribly embarrassed, and even his ears were red. He said after he coughed awkwardly, “Wait for a moment. I’ll go right away!”
Although there were no women in his family, he still knew what menstruation was, so he needed to go to the Third Uncle’s home and look for the Third Aunt, who must have the stuff his wife needed.
Ye Ling left the outhouse in haste and went to the Third Uncle’s home, while Liu Duo had to continue to wait miserably in the squat position.
Because he was walking too fast, Ye Ling had dense sweat on his forehead when he arrived at the front of the Third Uncle’s door. He gasped while knocking on the door hastily, “Third Aunt, Third Aunt, open the door. It’s Ye Ling.”
“I’m coming, I’m coming. What’s wrong, little Fourth? What’s the rush?” Once hearing the knock, the Third Aunt, a sixty- or seventy-year-old woman, came out in a hurry to open the door.
“Not a big deal. It’s...it’s just our wife, she...”
Once hearing the word “wife”, the Third Aunt couldn’t calm down, afraid if the wife, who they just purchased the day before, ran away again. She said, “What’s the matter? Did the wife run away again? We need to go and find the village head immediately, so people will be called to find her together!”
“Although that poor girl is reduced to be shared, she is yours after she was unhesitantly sold by her own Grandma. Or her bitter parents should be blamed for lacking assertiveness. Only treated well by your four brothers could she be relieved and settled down to continue the family line for your brothers. Do you understand? You can’t treat her badly.”
