My Mysterious Husband

"Now where is her? " Asked Venus.

"Dead." Mrs Qin sank into sorrows with whose eyes getting wet. "And I still remember that it was a summer when the heavy rain lasted for several days, the house was full of water, everything including beds, quilts were all soaked. My daughter, September, was covered with eczema, and she was itching and crying all the days. I pitied her so much that I left her to her father and I went to buy medicine for her in the rainy days. But, I am so sorry, I didn't expect... "

It was a really old story for Mrs Qin for she hadn’t mention it for a long time. But even now, she could still remember it clearly. She wiped her tears and continued to say, "When I was back with medicine, I saw many villagers surrounding my yard and what I found there was a ruin. A debris flow buried my families. Both September and his father were buried there... "

Venus was moved her story. And this was perhaps the reason why Mrs Qin never go back her hometown.

"Then, the grandparents of September drove me out of the house. I went to the city to look for a job. I had tried a lot and also suffered a lot. At that moment, I had the same thought as you. I wanted to die. But finally, I survived and met the Lady Ye. That why I was here. "

"Then didn't you get married?" Venus asked.

Mrs Qin wiped away her tears and sighed, "the Lady Ye is so kind-hearted that She introduced me to some of good men. But I am a unlucky woman because those who want to marry me quit it for most of them suffered the unlucky terrible accidents. So I choose to forget it at all. I don’t care about marriage, what I care is being alive. There's really nothing left for a dead person. "

Since then, the Ye family has been the home of Mrs Qin, and her family members became those in the Family Ye. After the sad story was over, the bowl of fish soup was finished by Venus.

"Come on, good girl, let’s finish the cup of red date porridge." Said Mrs Qin with a touch of sadness on her face.

Venus shook her head with smile and said, "Sorry, I’d like to but I am really full now."

"The fish soup is not enough fill your stomach. Perhaps you will wake up hungry in the mid-night. Let’s have some spoons of the porridge." Mrs Qin handed the spoon to her mouth. Venus became meek like a little daughter of her and ate as she said.

The red date porridge went down half. Mrs Qin smiled and said, "Good girl, have a good sleep now and don't bother yourself to think about anything. Tomorrow when the sun rises, it will be a brand new day."

Burning herself into the dry and warm quilt, Venus was still digesting the moving story of Mrs. Qin. In spite of the warm comforts from Mrs. Qin, the pain in the depth of her heart stayed still as cold as it was.

Outside the bedroom, Kerry leaned against the wall with a cigarette. At the sight of Mrs Qin, he turned back and asked, "How about Venus?"

and said, "The fish soup was finished, and she also had half a bowl of porridge."
