Chapter 572: 572 The Child Who Carries a Big Mountain 1
Her thoughts tightened, “We agreed to give so ti and not discuss…”
“Not that.” He said, “I just want you to know so of my past, understand so of my thoughts. Last night, I couldn’t sleep, thinking a lot, and my mind beca much clearer. I don’t want to hurt you like a headless fly anymore, and I don’t want you to misunderstand…”
“Go ahead, second brother.” She saw a long stone about thirty to forty centiters high by the roadside, with a fairly smooth surface. She blew on the stone and wiped off the dirt on it, then sat down.
Xiao Yishan thought of his ruined left face, “Yue’er, I want to know first, do you really dislike my left face?”
She raised her head and glanced at him, “This question, I don’t want to answer no matter when you ask.”
The stone was large enough for two people to sit on. He sat down beside her, with his crutch, and didn’t continue to ask this question. Instead, he unconsciously stroked his left face, “Yue’er, you know how I got the injury on my left cheek, right?”
“It was clawed by a bear.” She said succinctly, “The villagers said you were clawed by a bear while hunting. If you were really injured while hunting, I guess you wouldn’t ntion it so deliberately. There must be so hidden reason.”
He nodded slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, “Do you know about Liu Haitang from the sa village?”
She thought for a mont, “I’ve heard people ntion her, the daughter of the Liu Family in the village and Liu Xianglian’s cousin sister. Liu Haitang seems to have married a landlord in a neighboring town. I don’t know much else.”
“Liu Haitang and I are the sa age. We grew up together, you can say we’re childhood sweethearts.” As he recalled the past, his mood used to be painful, but now he was quite calm, “Although the Liu Family is not very wealthy, the Xiao Family is even worse off. Haitang’s parents always disliked the Xiao Family for being poor and opposed our association. I also thought about not holding her back, letting her find a better marriage. After she turned twelve or thirteen, we gradually drifted apart. She was beautiful, and people kept coming to propose to her, but her parents had high demands. They were picky, so at nineteen, she was still unmarried.”
One day, she told the reason she was unmarried at nineteen was that she had rejected all the arranged marriages her parents had tried to set up because she only had in her heart. I believed her and decided to hunt hard to earn more money and marry her as soon as possible. At that ti, my third and fourth brothers had not had any mishaps, and I did indeed dream of a bright future with her.”
He paused at this point and looked at her.
He had thought she would be jealous and angry, but she was expressionless, just like listening to soone else’s story.
He couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed, “After she confessed to , she treated passionately and seduced . I was young and could not resist the temptation, and finally in a cornfield at her ho, we…”
Finally, she glanced at him, “You and her… ‘that’?”
“I’m sorry, Yue’er!” He quickly apologized, “I was too young at the ti, and I didn’t know I would et you. I only did it once with her, I promise. After that, I will never do anything to hurt you!”
She frowned for a mont, “Then what?”
“A month later, she told she was pregnant.” He ntioned it, and anger flashed in his cold pupils, “At that ti, I was very happy to hear it, thinking I was going to be a father, and willing to spend all my family’s fortune to marry her.”
