Chapter 18

Lin Dafu seemed to have never expected that Song Qinghan would be so heartless, with his voice showing so cold and gloomy.

“I know exactly your personality. You’re such a pure and simple guy. And that day when I went back, I had thought quite a lot, you won’t betray me like that.” said Lin Dafu.

Song Qinghan paused, frowning as if he should struggle to figure out what Lin Dafu meant. He asked in doubt, “What are you talking about? Then how do you explain the child in my belly?”

Lin Dafu was stunned by his words, and then he answered in a slower tone, saying, “As for that, I had already asked a doctor in the mansion, it has been half a year since your pregnancy. So if we can investigate what you’ve been through six months ago, we can easily extrapolate who’s the father of that child.”

Song Qinghan didn’t get a favorable impression for Lin Dafu but he couldn’t deny the fact that he was amazed by the man’s perseverance over one thing, he asked back in a retorting tone, “And then?”

Lin Dafu’s voice suddenly became drifting, as if something had just occurred to him, he said, “And then I found out that half a year ago, you had blocked yourself at home for three whole days. Something must happened those days.”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows and interrupted him, asking, “Why?”

Suddenly, a gush of laughter came outside the door. It was Lin Dafu cherishing the memories, answering, “You are not that kind of person who will lock yourself up in a room and bear such loneliness. You would definitely go out sometimes for hanging out or something, you won’t even stand one day of staying at home, let alone for THREE WHOLE days. It must be something big blow happened to you those days, am I right?”

Seeing Lin Dafu was very familiar with his past story, which was not belonged to the present Song Qinghan at all, he somehow started to believe that they really got a love story before. Then he continued to ask, “So, have you already found out who the man is?”

“Yes.” answered Lin Dafu, as if he had made a confident investigation previous, he continued to utter, “It’s your current husband, Wu Dahu.”

Song Qinghan shrugged a bit and said indifferently, “Yeah, so what? Isn’t everything going well now?”

Lin Dafu happened to become ignited with a gush of rage in his mind. With his tune gained a higher level, he answered, “Going well? If it wasn’t that jealous bastard, we would have a happy marriage!”

Jealous bastard? Song Qinghan rolled his eyes and thought for a while, he could sense that there must be a conspiracy. He asked tentatively, “What do you mean? Do you mean that I was set up by others?”

Lin Dafu suddenly sighed heavily and said with a rather sorrow tone, “EXACTLY. You were drugged by a guy called Huailing that night. And it was also because of him who pushed you into the fire pit. You were almost burned to death together with Wu Dahu…”

Song Qinghan nodded thoughtfully, seeming to understand why he would feel so sad when he married, and even went on a hunger to protest.

It seemed that there still something called “LOVE” tightening the tie between the original possessor and Lin Dafu.

“However…” said Song Qinghan, as he opened his mouth and then came to a pause, but he still continued to say, “So what’s the point of telling me something like that now? Nothing’s gonna change.”

He was already Wu Dahu’s husband, and he was carrying Dahu’s child right now and was quite satisfied with what his life was now. Besides, there should be various concubines in Lin Dafu’s Mansion, this dandy would gain more femina males in his family as long as he was rich. Why was he still insisting on a guy in pregnancy?

Lin Dafu said in his gloom, “So till now, you still insist on keeping the door shut and don’t even want to see me?”

It got Song Qinghan goose bumps while Lin Dafu said something like a grumbling old lady.

He shook his head aiming to refuse his attempts, saying, “Indeed, I don’t really want to, can you just leave?”

After that, there left nothing outside but silence. Song Qinghan had no idea whether Lin Dafu had left or not. He just turned around and was about to prepare some food.

It was unexpected that Lin Dafu’s voice showed up again as soon as he took a step forward.

“They took advantage of you when you lost your memories. They took some parts of your dowry. I just want to inform you something like that, that’s one of the reasons I am here today. On the other hand, I bring your dowry back and want to give it back to you.”

Hearing that, Song Qinghan immediately opened the door, taking his head out, asking, “Where is the dowry?”

Lin Dafu handed over the golden box in his hand. Seeing that Song Qinghan didn’t even look at him, a dark ripple rose in his eyes.

“Did you see a doctor after your memories lost?”

Song Qinghan took the box but he failed to take it from Lin Dafu’s hand. He thought the box was too heavy. But he then gave a second try using both of his hands, only to find that it was tightly grasped by Lin Dafu. No wonder he couldn’t pull it away.

He raised his eyelids and said in a rage, “I did not. So, are you going to give it back to me or not?”

Lin Dafu’s eyelashes moved a bit and he released his hand. Seeing Song Qinghan holding the box and closing the door satisfactorily, he couldn’t help asking, “Is it Wu Dahu who did not allow you to see a doctor?”

After closing the door and locking it up, Song Qinghan sat on the bench counting the stuffs in the box. He didn’t even lift his head and said grumpily, “Why should I see a doctor, I am not sick.”

“Hey, why are you here?”

It was Wu Dahu’s voice coming from outside, with his tone mixing with an unknown emotion.

Song Qinghan put the box on the bench, and then opened the door and said with surprise, “You’re back. It seems that you’ve got a fruitful results.”

He counted the wood Wu Dahu brought back in believing that he could start to make a bed at noon.

When Lin Dafu saw a full happiness and joy in Song Qinghan’s eyes, an unknown sorrow happened in his expression. However, he didn’t suffer himself with that such a negative emotion. When he looked at Wu Dahu, he transformed into his cool appearance as usual and said slowly, “I’m here to deliver the dowry to Han and by the way I would love to know his conditions.”

Wu Dahu threw all the wood on his shoulder in the yard, clapped his hands and removed the dust on his cloth. He said with an expressionless face, “If you have done what you want, then just leave. Otherwise, people will judge.”

Looking at Wu Dahu’s calm decisive countenance while uttering something like that, Song Qinghan whispered to his own with such admiration, “How handsome he is! How manly!”

Lin Dafu noticed suddenly the sticky eyesight full of admiration on Wu Dahu from Song Qinghan, he lowered his eyes trying to cover the disappointment, saying in a soft tone, “Han, I will come to see you again.”

After saying these words, he turned back to the carriage and left.

Looking at Song Qinghan’s eyes, the expression on Wu Dahu finally released and turned into a happy one, he smiled, saying, “Are you hungry now? I will cook for you.”

Song Qinghan nodded and pointed at the box of jewelries, “Are these stuffs worthy? Let’s go exchange for money.”

To Song Qinghan’s surprise, Wu Dahu didn’t even give the box a glance but refused, saying, “Your dowry can’t be sold regardless of whether it is worthy or not. Leave it to the child in the future.”

Song Qinghan was supposed to be angry hearing that. But since he mentioned the child, he got nothing to retort.

True dat, if the child was a femina male, when he grew to a manhood and was ready to get married, it would be somehow great to have a rich dowry for him.

While Wu Dahu was cooking, Song Qinghan went to the cage to feed the rabbit. When he saw the female one stayed at the corner in an ailing look, he couldn’t help grabbing her out, wanting to see what was going on.

To his surprise, as soon as he touched the fur on her belly, he could feel something strange.

He walked into the kitchen with the female rabbit in his arms, and asked to Wu Dahu, “Is this female rabbit pregnant? I can feel something inside her belly.”

Wu Dahu wiped his hands, and then carefully rubbed the belly of the female rabbit and confirmed, saying, “You’re right. She’s pregnant. It seems we have to make another nest so that we can separate them.”

Song Qinghan asked in a surprise, “Why? Isn’t it a little warmer for them to stay together?”

Wu Dahu smiled and explained, “Although they are household raising rabbits, they got a forefather of wild hare. They are fine when nothing happens. But once the female one gets pregnant, she will show her ferocity which is kind of different from her usual well-behavior. Therefore, if we keep them together, they probably will fight.”

Song Qinghan had never heard of this natural principle in his modern world, but he didn’t show a doubt over that but just nodded and carefully put the female rabbit back into the cage. He specially chose some fresher vegetables and put them in front of her.

After their meal, Wu Dahu, as he had said before, made a new cage with vines, picked some softer grass and put it in, then put the pregnant female rabbit in.

After having the rabbit stuffs done, he walked to the courtyard door with the tools and began to deal with the elm woods.

Song Qinghan got nothing to do right away. He just took a small bench aside to watch Wu Dahu working while enjoying the breeze blowing his face.

Wu Dahu first chopped down all the tiny branches on the elm, put them aside, intending to store them for lighting fire in the future days.

Then, he used his shabby to cut off the bark of the elm, then used a saw to split the elm into a flat wooden block, leaning against the courtyard wall one by one.

Although his movements were not skillful, they were slow yet powerful. As long as he was sure what he was going to do next, he decided to act decisively without any hesitation, which enchanted Song Qinghan so much just seeing that.

Two hours later, all the materials used for the bed were prepared.

The next step seemed to be a little harder. Wu Dahu took a stone and used it to draw something on the ground, then slowly sawed off a strange wood frame from the elm wood.

After all the materials were prepared, the preliminary form of the bed was already out. As long as they were assembled together, they could get a bed in a width of six feet.

Just as Song Qinghan was looking forward to the ultimate consequence, Wu Dahu suddenly took a pause, stood up and straightened his waist in his leisure, saying, “Let’s set it here and let it get blown by the wind over night, and we’ll get it some wax on tomorrow.”

Anyway, Song Qinghan got his brain dumb when Wu Dahu told him something about the process of making a bed. But since he said so, what he could only do was to nod, he stood up, saying, “Well done. Come, sit and rest for a while. I’ll go get you some fruit tea.”

After that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen and poured a bowl of the fruit tea which was already cool down, and then he carefully served it to Wu Dahu.

Taking over the tea, Wu Dahu drank it all and said to Song Qinghan, “If one day Lin Dafu comes again. Try not to open the door again. I’m afraid he will hurt you.”

Hearing that, Song Qinghan felt somehow wronged and uncomfortable, he muttered, “I didn’t open the door for him to come. If it’s not about that dowry, I would not have opened it. As long as I got that dowry, I closed the door leaving no words to him, and opened again till you came back.”

Wu Dahu noticed a unpleasant on his face, explaining, “I know you opened the door for reasons. What I am afraid the most is that Lin Dafu will hoax you using your weakness. I saw he was kind of insisting on harassing you, he might had conceived something bad.”

The more Wu Dahu said, the more he aroused Song Qinghan’s counter-mentality.

Song Qinghan snorted coldly, then turned around and walked into the room, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m not a three-year-old kid anymore.”
