Chapter 101: My 100% Blackened, Broken Wife [End]
Mother Song was so angered by Song Yugui’s words that she almost fell over. Just as she was about to retort, the words got stuck in her throat.
The moment she heard someone say they had seen Xingchuan go to Lijia Village, where Shen Xizhi was now living, she had immediately thought that it was Shen Xizhi who had seduced him, without ever considering why it was Xingchuan who had gone over.
Now that it was pointed out to her, she just felt a ringing in her head.
That’s right. Why did Xingchuan have to go to Lijia Village?
Song Yugui sneered. “Do you know what your good son did at my house? He actually told Xizhi to divorce me! As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage. What do you mean by this, Song family? Xizhi is a frail woman. When Song Xingchuan came to her door, she didn’t even dare to resist. It’s a good thing I came back early, or who knows how he would have forced her!”
Song Yugui’s face was red with anger. The thought of someone relentlessly trying to steal her corner made her truly furious!
Mother Song subconsciously retorted, “Impossible! How could Xingchuan force Shen Xizhi to divorce? He’s already going to marry Yue’er! Who Shen Xizhi is with has nothing to do with him! He would never do such a thing!”
“That’s right. He’s about to get married, yet he still comes to my house to pester Xizhi. What kind of person is he? Truly, a person who is shameless is invincible in this world.”
“You, you, you!”
Mother Song had never met such a junior before and was so angry she pointed at her, speechless.
After a long while, she finally gritted her teeth. “I’m not talking to you. I just want to ask you, where did Xingchuan go? Why didn’t he come back all night!”
Song Yugui was bewildered. Wait, why are you asking me? Her expression was extremely complicated, even containing a hint of looking at a fool. “Is my relationship with Song Xingchuan very good? Does he have to tell me where he’s going? Hmph, I did indeed chase him out of my house yesterday. You can ask my sister-in-law about this. She saw it with her own eyes.”
Sister-in-law Shen had been stunned by her cousin-in-law’s fighting power. Hearing this, she finally reacted and immediately said, “That’s right, that’s right! I saw it with my own eyes! I watched that man walk out. I was wondering who it was. It wasn’t until Shuhe told me that I knew it was Song Xingchuan! I say, Auntie, although we’re all country folk, you should also teach your son about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame! Shen Xizhi has already remarried, married into our Lijia Village. And he still comes to find her, still wants to do that kind of thing, trying to steal someone’s corner. Have you no shame?”
Sister-in-law Shen questioned, patting her own face.
The people of Lijia Village immediately chimed in. “That’s right, that’s right! How come when someone from your Songjia Village goes missing, you come to our village to find them? Could it be that you think we’re easy to bully?!”
The others also immediately started to whisper among themselves. In the past, they had all thought that it was Shen Xizhi who had seduced Song Xingchuan between the two of them, but today, seeing it, it seemed that was not the case.
Mother Song’s face was pale. She was still trying to defend him. “No, Xingchuan wouldn’t do such a thing. He’s always been obedient, never made me worry…”
“Hmph, it’s not that he doesn’t make you worry, it’s that he makes others worry! If he hadn’t seduced Xizhi before, how could Xizhi have fallen for him for no reason? But then he turns around and wants to marry another woman. His skin is really thicker than a city wall!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
My wife has really been wronged. I should have had her transmigrate earlier, before Xizhi had any feelings for Song Xingchuan, and snatched up the pretty widow! Just thinking about this play is enough to make one’s heart turn yellow.
The people from Songjia Village behind Mother Song had gone to ask some other people from Lijia Village. Only then did they come back, holding Mother Song, and wiping the sweat from their foreheads. “I don’t think they really know where Xingchuan went. I just asked. Someone saw Xingchuan leave Lijia Village yesterday.”
Since he had already left Lijia Village, she couldn’t blame them anymore.
Mother Song didn’t have time to feel embarrassed. She was full of anxiety. Where on earth did he go? Where could he have gone?
The people of Songjia Village comforted her. “Didn’t Miss Chi also send people to look for him? They have more people. They should be able to find him soon.”
Now she could only pin her hopes on this.
The people of Songjia Village had come like a mighty army looking for trouble, and they went back a little embarrassed.
Song Yugui guessed that this time, Song Xingchuan might not have it easy, so she didn’t add insult to injury. She thanked the villagers who had spoken up for her and then went back.
The noise outside was not small. Shen Xizhi had already woken up, holding the quilt and propping herself up to lie on her side on the bed.
Seeing her return, her eyes lit up. “Shuhe!”
Song Yugui took off her clothes as she walked, throwing her outer garment on the side of the bed, then climbed onto the bed and pressed against her wife.
Shen Xizhi naturally wrapped her arms around her waist and rested softly on her chest.
One hand naturally slid down from her back and landed on her bottom, rubbing it gently. “Does it still hurt?”
Seeing her a little distressed, the young woman nodded with a wronged expression. “Mmm… it hurts. I can’t even sit.”
“I’ll go to town in a little while and buy you a tube of ointment. It will be better after you apply it.”
“Mmm.”
Shen Xizhi was intelligent and would never make a fuss with her over the beating from yesterday. She deserved it.
After a while, she finally asked, “What happened outside just now? I kept hearing voices.”
Song Yugui had no intention of hiding it from her and said directly, “Song Xingchuan has gone missing. His mother came looking for him.”
Shen Xizhi: ?
What?
Her eyes were filled with surprise. She really hadn’t expected it.
“How… how did he suddenly go missing?”
“I don’t know. No one knows, so his mother was desperate and came to our house.”
Shen Xizhi thought of what she had wanted to do yesterday, and a wave of lingering fear filled her heart. It’s a good thing I didn’t do it. Otherwise, if something had happened today, I would have really been dead.
Song Yugui pulled up the quilt and held her, burrowing into the quilt. “Let’s not mind other people’s business. Let’s sleep a little longer. I’m still sleepy.”
It was rare to be able to sleep in. Although she had been woken up early in the morning, she still felt sleepy now.
“Mmm.”
Shen Xizhi was no longer sleepy, but she still lay down with her wife, silently praying in her heart, Die, die. Just die like this. Don’t appear again and affect me. Her affair with Song Xingchuan is known to everyone. As long as he’s alive, someone will always bring it up. The best way is for him to disappear and never appear again. That way, my wife won’t remember this past event either.
As Shen Xizhi thought this, a small smile appeared on her thin lips.
Her heart secretly hoped for the result she wanted.
She held her wife and went to sleep with her.
For the next one, two, three days.
They still hadn’t found Song Xingchuan.
The Song family was already going crazy. Mother Song was desperate and came to Song Yugui’s house several more times. The one she saw was Shen Xizhi. She begged Shen Xizhi to tell her where Song Xingchuan might have gone, saying how much she had offended her in the past, but it was a matter of life and death, and she hoped that she would not hold a grudge and could tell them Song Xingchuan’s whereabouts.
Let alone the fact that Shen Xizhi didn’t know, even if she did, she wouldn’t say.
The young woman just looked at her and quietly shook her head, then turned and went back. If Mother Song pestered her and refused to leave, Song Yugui would come back and chase her away.
The affairs of Songjia Village had nothing to do with them. They didn’t want to get into trouble.
And besides, this life’s Xizhi didn’t have a good relationship with Chi Xiangyue. It was best if she didn’t appear in front of them.
Lest she be hated by her little cousin.
How could she have known that because of her various unprovoked actions, and the fact that there was indeed no evidence for the things Shen Xizhi had done, and Chi Xiangyue had also said she would not pursue it, the people of Songjia Village were now quite wary of them and would not usually mention it.
Chu Wantang had just arrived in this place and was happily wanting to fly away with her cousin and spend the rest of her life with her when she heard her uncle say that her cousin was going to marry a man from the village. He even said that it was good that she had come, that she should be there for her cousin’s wedding, and that her cousin would also be happy.
Crazy, truly crazy.
Her uncle was the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, yet his only legitimate daughter was marrying a country farmer?
She wasn’t afraid of being laughed at if word got out. She could see the seriousness of her cousin and her uncle, and her heart was almost about to die of anger. She was single-mindedly thinking of getting rid of this person and didn’t know anything about Shen Xizhi’s affairs.
By the time she found out, she was already immersed in her cousin’s gentle embrace and had returned to the capital to live with her.
She had also promised her not to hurt anyone again.
Her actions had indeed not escaped her cousin’s eyes.
.
It was five days later when they found Song Xingchuan again.
The one who returned was not a whole and complete Song Xingchuan, but… as if he had gone mad, a not-so-normal Song Xingchuan, who didn’t remember his own name, couldn’t eat by himself, and would occasionally drool. Someone had found a mark of impact on his head.
The gossip in the village spread quickly. In a short while, the people in the neighboring villages all knew that Song Xingchuan’s head had been smashed, and he had gone mad.
Song Yugui usually just sold meat and then went home to accompany her wife, not interacting much with the villagers. It was her sister-in-law who had heard the news and had come back to gossip with them.
“Aiya, Shuhe, do you still remember that man from Songjia Village who came before?”
Shen Xizhi’s heart skipped a beat, and she quietly pricked up her ears to listen.
“Song Xingchuan? They found him? Is he alright?”
Song Yugui asked casually, knowing in her heart that it was impossible for him to be alright.
Hmph, my cousin made a move. How could she let him go back unharmed?
Sure enough, Sister-in-law Shen shook her head and pointed a finger at her head. “How can he be alright? He was gone for so long. I heard he was hit here. He’s gone mad. He doesn’t know the way home, so he couldn’t be found.”
Song Yugui raised an eyebrow in surprise. A broken leg in the last life, and this time he’s directly gone mad?
That was also true. With the Chi family’s promise-keeping nature, if he were just disabled, they might not have broken off the engagement, and Chi Xiangyue might still have been willing to marry him. But if he were a fool…
No one would be willing to marry a fool. Even if the Chi family wanted to break off the engagement, others who heard the reason would also be on their side.
Tsk, as expected of my little cousin.
Shen Xizhi also silently breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, He’s gone mad? It’s good that he’s gone mad. If he’s gone mad, he won’t pester her anymore.
She admitted that it was very vicious of her to think this way, but if a person doesn’t look out for themselves, the heavens will destroy them. She was doing it for herself. What was wrong with that?
Shen Xizhi’s eyes curved slightly, and she obediently stood up. “Shuhe, you said yesterday that you wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. Can I make them for you today?”
The biggest threat to her stable life was gone. She was in a good mood and felt that she had to eat something good to celebrate.
Song Yugui’s eyes lit up. She had thought of the same thing. She lowered her head and coughed twice. “I also brought back a pork knuckle today. You can stew it too. Sister-in-law can eat at my house. We have a lot of food.”
For some reason, Sister-in-law Shen always felt that the two of them were quite happy to hear this news. She asked with a bit of suspicion, “Did Xizhi just smile?”
“Hmm? Oh, Xizhi wasn’t smiling because of what you said. My Xizhi has loved to smile since she was little. Me too, hehe.”
Sister-in-law Shen: …
How come I’ve never felt that Shen Xizhi loves to smile?
“Forget it, I’d better go back and eat. Your brother also has to come back from the docks today. I still have to cook for him.”
“Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law.”
“Hah, what’s so hard about cooking? Your cousin isn’t like you, feeling sorry for your wife.”
“That’s my cousin’s fault. You should feel sorry for your wife.”
Seeing her looking at the kitchen with a gentle expression, Sister-in-law Shen was a little envious.
As she was leaving, she was still thinking, This lesbianism also has its benefits. They are both women, so they know each other’s feelings and are as gentle as water, each feeling sorry for the other’s suffering, not as hard as a man.
Tonight’s dinner was a fragrant, sweet, and sour pork rib and a tender, flavorful stewed pork knuckle. They also stir-fried two vegetarian dishes. A steamed egg custard, which was a very sumptuous dinner for them as usual.
“I’ll bring a bowl of meat to my sister-in-law in a little while. What do you think?”
She had seen when she had just transmigrated that Sister-in-law Shen had taken good care of the original owner. Later, she had had a disagreement with her sister-in-law’s husband and had thought that the other would no longer take care of her. She hadn’t expected that country folk were so straightforward. They hadn’t come to an agreement at that time, but they wouldn’t be angry later. They would still be the same as before, and their relationship had gradually improved.
Sister-in-law Shen had just found out yesterday that she was pregnant. She should eat more meat to replenish her strength.
Hearing this, Shen Xizhi quickly nodded, not at all unwilling.
Sister-in-law Shen had not liked her at first, but despite her dislike, she had not spoken ill of her like the people of Songjia Village, nor had she gossiped about her. Occasionally, she would even help her a little. She was a very good person.
Shen Xizhi found a clean bowl, put two pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs in it, and, afraid that Sister-in-law Shen would not be used to it, she did not add any more, just a lot of pork knuckle meat.
She brought a bowl to her wife. “Shuhe, you can take this to your sister-in-law.”
My wife’s sister-in-law is naturally my sister-in-law too.
Shen Xizhi smiled a little gently, thinking to herself.
Song Yugui took the bowl and went. Sister-in-law Shen had also just finished cooking and was about to eat when she heard a knock on the door and quickly replied, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, sister-in-law. I’ve brought you something.”
“I hear it’s Shuhe’s voice, ya!”
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Shen went to open the door, but she hadn’t expected the other to hand her a full bowl of meat. The fragrance of the meat filled her nose, making her swallow hard.
But her reason was still there, and she still refused, her eyes also controlling themselves from looking up. “What are you doing? It’s not easy for you and Xizhi. Why give it to me? You can keep it for yourselves to eat.”
“Xizhi and I still have more. Xizhi made a new dish today and specially asked me to bring you a bowl. You should just take it. I still have to hurry back to eat.”
“Aiya, this, this…”
Sister-in-law Shen’s face turned red with embarrassment. She was really too embarrassed to take a bowl of meat from them and quickly called for Li Yan to come out.
The moment Li Yan came, he also said he couldn’t take it.
Wait, isn’t it just a bowl of meat? What’s there not to take? If you keep pushing it back and forth, the meat will get cold. She didn’t listen to the two of them’s refusal at all, went around them, and nimbly went in, quickly placing the meat on their table, and then said goodbye and left.
Sister-in-law Shen had said “aiya” twice but hadn’t been able to call her back and was immediately helpless. “This child, really.”
By the time Song Yugui returned, her meal had already been served. A sweet and sour sauce was poured over the snowy white rice, and there were also two sweet and sour pork ribs on it.
The moment Xizhi saw her return, she stuck to her, pecked her on the face, her tone gentle and sweet. “Shuhe, you’re back. I’ve already prepared it for you. Hurry up and sit down to eat.”
“Mmm, you eat too. We can feed Xiaobao after we’re done.”
“Alright.”
Shen Xizhi obediently sat down. The two of them each ate a couple of mouthfuls of food but did not stay quiet for long. In a short while, the young woman revealed her thoughts in a small voice. “I’m a little happy today.”
Song Yugui understood. “Because you heard the news about Song Xingchuan?”
She nodded and then asked, “Do you think I’m very bad?”
She was a little bad. She had actually been hoping for something to happen to Song Xingchuan. No kind person would think this way. But Shuhe had said she was kind, yet she had thought this way.
Song Yugui raised an eyebrow. “N-no. It’s only human nature. Your ending in the past was not caused by you alone. Song Xingchuan also has to bear a great deal of responsibility. If you’re happy, then be happy. What’s so bad about that? And besides, I like you even if you’re bad.”
This life’s Xizhi was not like her past life, where she had really not done anything bad. She had killed her own wife and had also wanted to kill Chi Xiangyue. But she still liked her very much. She knew that she was not like this from the beginning.
She had been slowly forced into this.
As long as she was doted on a little and was good to her, her true nature would reveal itself little by little.
Hearing her wife say she liked her even if she was bad, Shen Xizhi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily in her heart, “Me too. No matter what Shuhe is like, I like her.”
“Alright, let’s eat first. After we eat, we can go to sleep?”
“Mmm, we still have to feed Xiaobao. We have to feed Xiaobao first.”
“Alright, alright, alright. You’re more concerned about Xiaobao than I am, her older sister.”
“This is the first child I’ve raised myself.”
In the past, she had also taken care of Shen Yaozu, but that was because her parents had told her to. She was not willing in her heart. Xiaobao was different.
Xiaobao was obedient, cute, and very clingy to her. She was her wife’s younger sister. She had helped to take care of her with all her heart every day, so naturally, she had developed some feelings.
“Alright, alright, alright. I know you dote on Xiaobao.”
She fed Xiaobao, and she was on the side, pecking at her wife.
Shen Xizhi didn’t even know how to dodge, just her lashes trembled slightly, and she obediently let her kiss her, the corners of her eyes turning a beautiful red.
In a short while, Xiaobao was full and was kicking her legs, looking at her two older sisters with a “ah-da, ah-da.” Then she was thrown onto the familiar single bed.
Song Yugui had been holding down pigs and slaughtering them for years and had a lot of strength.
She casually picked up Shen Xizhi and carried her to the bed, letting down the pearl curtain and the canopy, lifting the magnificent and complicated skirt she had bought for her a few days ago, and buried her head between the woman’s legs, kissing her gently and sweetly.
Shen Xizhi’s long neck arched high, her elbows propped on the bed, almost unable to support her body. Her eyes, from the moment she was kissed, began to uncontrollably accumulate water droplets, let alone when she was kissed, sucked, and bitten.
The two of them sang every night, yet she was still surprisingly sensitive. Just like this, she felt she was about to come, so comfortable, so comfortable she was about to come…
After that, the two of them no longer paid attention to the news from that side and quietly lived their own little lives.
Xiaobao also grew up day by day. Song Yugui gave her a name, Li Suicheng. It had no meaning; she just felt it sounded nice.
Xizhi liked this name very much and would always hold Xiaobao and call her Suicheng, Suicheng.
Suicheng could also walk now. She was quiet and obedient. Sometimes she would call out to people, always “sister-in-law, sister-in-law.” It was only on rare occasions that she would call out “sister,” and that was usually when she was about to be chased out and not allowed to sleep in the same room with her sister-in-law.
Xiaobao had her own room, but at first, she was small, and she wasn’t at ease letting her sleep alone. So Song Yugui had left her in the room to sleep with them. But now she couldn’t.
Now Xiaobao could talk and was clingy. Sometimes she even wanted to learn from her and give Xizhi a kiss.
Song Yugui was very dissatisfied. Often, when the child called out “sister-in-law,” she would just grab her by the back of her neck and carry her straight to the other side.
Li Suicheng would then glare at her sister with a pair of large, watery eyes, the same as her sister-in-law’s.
Song Yugui was not moved at all. “Go away. Don’t pester your sister-in-law.”
“You’re always pestering my sister-in-law every day. Xiaobao wants to too!”
“Want what? Do you know why your sister-in-law is your sister-in-law? It’s because of me. Your sister-in-law only married me to be your sister-in-law. So of course I can pester her. On what grounds do you pester her, you freebie!”
Xiaobao was scolded again and looked at Shen Xizhi with a wronged expression. “Sister-in-law, my sister is scolding me again.”
Shen Xizhi looked at Song Yugui with a helpless expression. “Why are you always bickering with a child?”
But then she turned her head and said to Suicheng, “Xiaobao, be good. Why don’t you go out and play with Ling’er next door for a while?”
Sister-in-law Shen had had a daughter and had named her Li Ling’er. She was still a child who couldn’t speak properly and was not very fun to play with. But Xiaobao had grown up and was no longer like before, where she could just be put on a bed. She had ears and a mouth and would always ask some embarrassing questions.
Now, every time the two of them wanted to be intimate, they would either have to chase Xiaobao to her own room or coax her to go out and play with someone else.
Xiaobao knew everything in her heart, and she was also wronged, but Xiaobao didn’t say.
She held the large cloth tiger that her sister had specially made for her in her hands, her cheeks puffed out as she left.
Song Yugui reached out to hold her wife. “Look at this girl. She’s exactly like you when she’s angry.”
“How are we alike? I don’t think we look alike. You’re talking nonsense.”
The young woman retorted coquettishly.
After Xiaobao had left, her former dignified composure disappeared without a trace, and she immediately threw herself into her wife’s embrace.
She accused her in a small voice, “You’re always bullying Suicheng.”
“Mmm, then are you going to help me or her?”
Being glared at again, “What are you talking about? Of course I’ll help you.”
Of course I’ll side with my wife.
“That’s it. Xiaocheng is at an age where she should be playing with new friends. What’s the point of being with us all day? Don’t you think?”
Excuses, all excuses to chase Suicheng out.
“Are you willing to let Suicheng watch us?”
Seeing Xizhi not speaking, Song Yugui silently added. The young woman immediately shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, no!”
“That’s it. Let her play with Ling’er. They can be good friends in the future. We won’t mind her. Give me a kiss.”
Although it was a kiss, in fact, Song Yugui held her wife and bit her extremely soft little face, leaving a faint tooth mark.
Shen Xizhi let out a “ya,” a little dissatisfied. “Don’t be like this. If Suicheng sees it in a little while, she’ll ask us again.”
“We’re a couple. What’s there for her to ask?”
Song Yugui said she didn’t care and continued to kiss her.
In the house next door, Suicheng also followed her sister’s example and kissed Ling’er fiercely, which scared Sister-in-law Shen, who knew very well that there were two lesbians in the house next door, so much that her face turned pale.
It’d be strange if a child raised by Xizhi and Yugui didn’t turn out a little like them lol
