My Loyal and Lovely Husband

It’s very late, almost midnight, and the sky seems to have been painted by the dark ink, where few stars can be seen. At that time, all the villagers in the Xingtian Village have already gone to bed. Jin Weiwei and her father still stand in the yard, quarreling. Hearing the angry shout of Jin Dabao, Little Rich puts on his clothes, leans against the door and watches them quarreling. The wind blows the old tree of the village, making its leaves rustling. It’s getting cold outside because it is already the early autumn.

“That’s fine for you to think so. Because you have to tell me the truth! You have no choice at all!” shouts Jin Weiwei, who stands at the door of the woodshed staring at Jin Dabao who sits on the door-post. She is not pretending to do so. It will be tomorrow after the midnight.

Definitely, as a young girl, she is not afraid of staying up late. Jin Dabao is determined to do so at any cost. He thinks, “If I do not reveal the whole thing, my life will be even harder later on. After all this little bastard, clever and witty, has already recovered. If she knows the truth some day, she must take revenge on me! If so, I’d better reveal it by myself.” After thinking for a while, he says, “actually, I ought not to tell you these things. Since you have already detected that, I decide to tell you the truth. If you find the truth someday, you must take a revenge on me.” His words are intended to arouse her sympathy; however, Jin Weiwei does not want to hear his nonsense. She says angrily, “Shut up! Keep to the point!”

“You are not my daughter!” shouts Jin Dabao suddenly. Jin Weiwei is shocked. His words are just like a bolt out of the blue. At that moment, the shock spreads all over her body, and her legs are fixed to the ground. Jin Dabao is not her father! If it is the truth, all the things will make sense because Jin Dabao never treats her as his daughter! Since she was a little girl, Jin Weiwei was abandoned like rubbish and thrown out to her aunts. If she had not behaved diligently, she would have been sold. It turns out that Jin Dabao is not her biological father at all!

“If it is the truth, who is my father?” asks Jin Weiwei with a calm voice, taking a deep breath. She feels happy that Jin Dabao is not her father. After all, being the daughter of such a lazy and greedy man is a shame for her. However, the fact is that Jin Dabao has been wondering who is the father of Jin Weiwei as well. He dares not to reveal the truth to her every time he sees the angry face of Jin Weiwei.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Thinking for a little while, he decides not to tell Jin Weiwei that her mother knows Kungfu. In the past, he had to submit to her coercion or intimidation; but now, he will never live under the shadow of the dead woman! Thus, when he is about to tell the whole thing, he changes his words and says, “I don’t know who your father is! I came across your mother by accident. That day on the way back home after hunting, I happened to encounter your mother, who was seriously injured. I couldn’t leave her alone under such circumstances, thus I took her to my home. At that time, she had already got pregnant for three months! She forced me to get married with her and I agreed with her out of sympathy.”

Jin Dabao makes a vivid description about the whole thing. However, it seems that Jin Weiwei does not trust his words, because it is impossible for Jin Dabao to be a righteous guy at any critical moment. She would rather believe that the pig can fly. “Really? I guess you want to cheat my mother! My mother left behind such a big sum of money for me. I think she must be a rich man’s daughter or an affluent businesswoman. A mean person like you can in no way match my mother!” says Jin Weiwei. Seeing that his trick is exposed by Jin Weiwei, he feels embarrassed. On second thoughts, he calms down because he has already lost all her trust with his lies.

“You were an idiot from an early age. When you grew up, no one wanted to marry you. Do you think it is an easy thing to raise you?” says Jin Dabao. What he wants to express is nothing but his hard work to raise an idiot girl. Therefore, he deserves the money from Jin Weiwei’s mother. In other words, Jin Weiwei had no chance to have grown up without her mother’s money. “It’s not your money, Jin Dabao! It is my mother’s money that supports me till now!” shouts Jin Wewiei. “What? I tell you that I never forced your mother to marry me. She did it of her accord!” replies Jin Dabao. “You mean that my mother is willing to give you money to elope with Widow Chen?” asks Jin Weiwei. Her words make Jin Dabao speechless.

Jin Weiwei clenches her fists with a sneer on her face. If it were not for the fact that their conversation is not over, she would slap Jin Dabao on the face. “What’s my mother’s name? Where does she come from? You make it clear to me!” asks Jin Weiwei. That’s what she really wants to know today. Unexpectedly, Jin Dabao scratches his head and says, “I… I don’t know…” “What?” shouts Jin Weiwei surprisingly. “I really don’t know! I asked her for thousands of times, but she still refused to tell me her name!” shouts Jin Dabao immediately while seeing Jin Weiwei is about to beat him. His words almost drive Jin Weiwei crazy. She says angrily, “you are her husband! You must know how to address her!” With an embarrassed expression on his face, he murmurs, “She… She… asked me to call her Cui…” Jin Weiwei thinks that this name must be made up. Only Jin Dabao, the dumb-headed fool, believes Cui is the real name of her mother, a mysterious woman from nowhere.

But how would a special woman like her mother be reduced to living in such a place as Xingtian Village and die here mysteriously? What is the real identity of her mother? Judging from the former conversation, she knows that it is impossible to get any useful information from Jin Dabao. “One more question— how did she die there?” asks Jin Wewiei. “I have told you for thousands of times. She died of disease.” Replies Jin Dabao impatiently. Seeing the disbelief spreading over her face, Jin Dabao shouts angrily, “Why do I lie to you?! Everyone knows that I saved your mother and got married with her. You can ask everyone in our village… Since I took her to my home, she had been in poor condition because of her injuries. After giving birth to you, she was getting even weaker than before. A few years later, she passed away.”
