Chapter 404 The Hunter's Little Darling 65
My cousin's marriage was arranged very quickly.
It is a family living in the mountains.
There aren't many people on the mountain, and even fewer of them are of marriageable age. This young man is actually the same age as Tu Shen, which is a bit too old for his cousin.
If we're only choosing from the limited number of people on the mountain, then he is indeed a reliable candidate.
Aside from the fact that he was the only male in his family and things were a little difficult for him, everything else was fine.
Moreover, her mother, who is very easy to get along with, is a good match for her cousin's simple and honest nature.
When the person was chosen, my cousin came over to discuss it with Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu saw that she seemed happy, so she didn't say anything more.
The people on both sides are people I know well, and they can help her out if she has any problems, so I'm not worried about her having a bad life.
Once she's settled down, she can just sit back and wait to get married.
My cousin's marriage went through the normal process: engagement first, then marriage, step by step. During this time, she had plenty of free time to visit Xie Qingyu.
Of course, he also didn't forget to bring Xie Qingyu some gossip to listen to.
She talked most about Ma Erya, probably because Ma Erya's feigned amnesia really hurt her.
"You were absolutely right. She really isn't doing well after getting married. After she was caught and brought back from the mountain last time, she's been acting like she's given up on everything. She's constantly arguing with Shuanzi's mother at home. Every time they argue, Shuanzi hits her, but she still argues with him the next time." My cousin sighed.
"Their house is in complete chaos now," my cousin concluded with the last word.
Xie Qingyu could actually guess some of it, after all, the mountain was only so big, so she could hear some of the noise.
She wasn't surprised at all that Ma Erya was living the life she was living now.
She didn't marry Shuanzi willingly in the first place to avoid trouble, so she kept tormenting him after the marriage, hoping that he could become the man she wanted, but the result was not as she wished.
None of her choices were correct, and naturally, they didn't lead to good results.
"Don't talk about her. I heard she's been acting crazy lately. Be careful she doesn't hear you and start a fight." Tu Shen overheard his cousin's words as he returned from outside.
“I know,” my cousin said in a low voice. “I also think she’s been acting a bit strange lately.”
"unusual?"
"In the past few days, she encountered two elderly women on the road and pushed them down. One of them almost rolled down the mountain. She muttered that they were the ones who told on her, which is why she couldn't get down the mountain. She probably holds a grudge." Tu Shen only heard about this incident when he went out just now.
In his view, Ma Erya had become somewhat abnormal.
"That does seem a bit off. We should avoid contact with her." Xie Qingyu said this to her cousin.
My cousin nodded, looking at Xie Qingyu with a somewhat bewildered expression, as if she had something to say.
She felt that Ma Erya's biggest grudge was against her sister-in-law, although she didn't know why, but she just had that feeling.
However, it seemed impossible to express this feeling to Xie Qingyu at this moment.
She thought about it but didn't say anything, since Xie Qingyu always went out with Tu Shen.
Her cousin really didn't want to leave his sister-in-law's side for even a moment.
Xie Qingyu has indeed been going up the mountain with Tu Shen these days.
It's not hot at all on the mountain in early summer, and the sun rises early.
Recently, Tu Shen has been getting up and then carrying water, chopping wood, and tidying up the house inside and out before waiting for Xie Qingyu to get up so they can go up the mountain together.
To be precise, he never let Xie Qingyu go out alone; he always went with her, or at least followed behind her.
Therefore, when danger came, Tu Shen was able to react immediately and kick Ma Erya away as she lunged at him.
Tu Shen didn't hold back, and Ma Erya flew quite a distance backward before landing.
Tu Shen carefully examined Xie Qingyu in his arms, making sure there was nothing wrong with her before turning hostile towards Ma Erya.
They are on a mountain path, which is basically the most common route hunters take when going deep into the mountains, so there are people nearby.
Hearing the commotion, many people came over out of curiosity.
Even if they arrived late, seeing the scene before them would tell them what had happened, since the knife in Ma Erya's hand was still on the ground.
"I knew you were faking amnesia, but I didn't expect you to still be determined to kill her!" Tu Shen was furious. He had fallen behind a few steps because he was checking the tools in his hand. Sometimes he liked to lag behind Xie Qingyu a few steps behind to see her back. He didn't expect that such a short time would give Ma Erya an opportunity.
Tu Shen's words sparked a flurry of discussion among the people present, and some even went to inform others to come and see what was going on.
Some clever ones would send their own children to call Shuanzi's mother over, since something had happened to someone in their family.
It was morning, and most of the people at home were either aunts or children. They were all gathered together, chattering about what was happening in front of them.
The most talked-about topic is definitely Ma Erya's amnesia last year.
The events of that time overlap with the current events, and with Tu Shen's words, it seems that the truth of what happened back then has already been revealed.
"Why should she? She deserved to die. If I hadn't been kind enough to let her go when I arrived, she would have died in the river back then!" Ma Erya said hysterically.
Everyone else thought she was referring to the time she pushed Xie Qingyu into the water, but only Xie Qingyu knew that she was probably referring to the time when she had just transmigrated.
"You're shameless!" Her cousin was the first to jump out and defend Xie Qingyu.
"You're still protecting her! You're all protecting her!" Ma Erya shouted frantically, standing up and picking up her knife first.
Seeing her actions, the onlookers took a few steps back, somewhat frightened.
"You were supposed to be my husband. When I was sold by my family, you met me, saved me, and married me. Then we lived a carefree and happy life. But she interfered and stole you away!"
Her words stunned everyone present, as no one knew that she had a past with Tu Shen.
Of course, even Tu Shen himself didn't know, and he frowned as he listened, "I didn't even know you before, how would I know what kind of hysteria you're having?"
Tu Shen really thought she was being unreasonable.
Everyone else felt the same way. After all, being on the mountain was different from other places. Tu Shen only went down the mountain twice a year, so why would he take the opportunity to seduce Ma Erya and bring her back?
Others listened to this as if it were just gossip, but it was a different story for Shuanzi.
What's the difference between his wife saying such things in public and him being cheated on?
