Sweet Wife in My Arms

"Isn't this Jin Gen? He was wearing this attire yesterday."

Jin Gen? Everyone else was a little stunned when they heard that name. Isn't this a thief? How could this person be Jin Gen?

Someone stepped forward and pulled off the cloth on the man's head. Jin Gen's face was exposed. Although his face was beaten up really badly with something stuffed in his mouth, it was undoubtedly Jin Gen.

"It really is Jin Gen."

Somebody pointed at Jin Gen's face and shrieked in surprise.

"But, why did he go to the girl's house in the middle of the night? Moreover, there is nothing in that broken house. Even if he wanted to steal, he would have picked a better house. Although everyone in our village is poor, we are definitely better off than that broken house. There aren't even pots and pans in there. What was he planning to do?"

"What else can he do?" Most people could guess his intentions after giving it some thoughts.

"I bet he's desperate for a woman and wanted to take advantage of her. I've seen many shameless people, but haven't seen one like him. He's a disgrace to our village."

"Did he plan to eavesdrop on Dongsheng and his wife the last time he went there?"

Someone continued to comment, and sure enough, everyone's gaze instantly changed when they heard this.

Dongsheng and his family had a grim expression on their faces when they heard this. Moreover, their faces darkened and reddened as there was a commotion in the neighborhood. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to hide in a hole.

The new wife was hit by it instantly, and her face flushed and turned pale. She covered her face in tears and ran away.

The villagers were very conservative about that matter. Frankly speaking, everyone would do that secretly. Of course, whomever that was seen or heard in the act of doing that would feel uncomfortable, not to mention that someone had eavesdropped on them in the middle of the night.

The young man from the Dongsheng family pointed at Jin Gen furiously, and could not bring himself to speak. He gave Jin Gen a few kicks forcefully and went off to comfort his wife. However, his face continued to burn with embarrassment. It was not his fault originally, but after listening to how the others had judged and made fun of him, he felt like he was too embarrassed to live anymore.

"Jin Gen, oh my son..."

As soon as Jin Gen's mother heard about this, she ran over from her house. When she saw Jin Gen sprawling on the floor, being beaten up badly, she rushed over with bursting tears as she held him in her arms. She yelled loudly, asking who had beaten her son up like this.

The head of Dongsheng family snorted immediately, "Jin Gen's mother, please discipline your child. He went to my house in the middle of the night to steal things." Of course, he was not going to mention a word about Jin Gen eavesdropping on his son and daughter-in-law. Jin Gen could afford to be humiliated but not their family.

"Yeah," others began to hoot. "Forget about him going to Dongsheng's house, he even went to the house of a girl who had no friends or relatives. She is already in such a difficult situation, but he still wanted to take advantage of her. Isn't he crazy?"

Yan Huan caressed her face. She understood the meaning behind the words of these people. They were saying that she was hideous, and Jin Gen was so lustful that he wanted a cripple like her.

Indeed, she was really sad. She was Yan Huan, the best actress. Although she was not the prettiest person in the world, her beauty and her exquisiteness were recognized in the entertainment industry, ranking as the fifth most beautiful face in Asia. However, she was now ugly in everyone's eyes, and anyone who had desires on her was considered to be crazy.

As soon as Jin Gen's mother heard this, she hit her son again and said he was futile. There were so many women, but yet he chose such an ugly one who was also a cripple. Everyone who heard this was restless. She did not blame Jin Gen for going to someone's house in the middle of the night or eavesdropping on the Dongsheng family, but for finding an ugly person like Yan Huan.

Yan Huan walked over, crouched down, and stretched out her hand to untie the rope on Jin Gen.

Jin Gen's mother snorted as she thought that Yan Huan had found her conscience, and she said stubbornly, "Have you found your conscience now? Let me tell you this, no matter how you please us, my son will never marry an ugly person like you."

Yan Huan did not say a word. She slowly untied the rope on Jin Gen, wrapped it, and stood up. Just as Jin Gen's mother was about to say something, she had already turned and left with the rope.

After taking a few steps, she stopped and patted the rope in her hand.

"There is only one rope left. If it's gone, what can I use to bundle up the firewood?" She mumbled to herself, but everyone around laughed. Clearly, it was a slap on Jin Gen's mother's face.

Probably your son isn't as important as a rope in her heart. It's hard to tell who is the one that aims at the moon.

Yan Huan had held her rope and walked to the entrance of the village before Changsheng followed behind her.

Yan Huan stopped and looked at Changsheng. She smiled, and her eyes were very clear and beautiful, but half of her face was very ugly.

Changsheng was assuming that if her face was pretty, she must be a beautiful woman, and would probably be prettier than any woman in their village.

"Does your family have any firewood left?" Yan Huan asked Changsheng. She had nothing left now except for the firewood in her house. If Changsheng needed some, she would give him, and just pick some up again.

"No," Changsheng shook his head and scratched it in embarrassment.

"I don't want your firewood."

"Then?" Yan Huan touched her neck. There was a really expensive necklace on her neck, but she was not planning to sell it. It would probably be her transportation fees when she got out of the mountains.

But if Changsheng really wanted it, she would still think about it. After all, Changsheng had saved her life and compared to a necklace, her life was obviously much more precious.

If she lost her life, she would no longer be able to wear any necklaces on her neck.

Just as she was about to take off her necklace, Changsheng opened his mouth again.

"I don't think that it's wise for you to continue staying there. Aside from the fact that the winter has just started, I'm afraid that the incident that had happened today would happen again. Jin Gen is a shameless person. He would definitely do it again if he didn't succeed this time."
