Chapter 385 The Hunter's Little Darling 46
"She agreed?" Xie Qingyu asked immediately.
"That's right, we didn't force her. She doesn't remember anything now. After being rescued by our Shuanzi, she only recognizes him. It's a way of repaying Shuanzi. We came to tell you because we knew about this. We can follow the rules. If it were someone who wasn't so particular, they wouldn't have done this and would have just kept her here." This old lady was quite capable.
When it comes to matters of life and death, everyone will lend a helping hand if they can.
But now that time has passed, when there are conflicts of interest, all sorts of different situations will emerge.
This is different from the enthusiasm they showed when they were looking for someone.
Xie Qingyu could see Ma Erya standing to one side.
She hid next to Shuanzi, and judging from her posture, it seemed that she was trying to avoid him, as if she regarded Shuanzi as her safe haven.
"Don't you remember anything now, Ma Erya?" This was the first time Xie Qingyu had called Ma Erya by her name.
You can see her nodding.
“She said she doesn’t remember,” Tu Shen said, standing next to Xie Qingyu. He still didn’t know that Xie Qingyu could see some things.
Xie Qingyu asked with a smile, "Then how do you know your name is Ma Erya?"
Ma Erya paused for a moment, then pointed in her cousin's direction, "She...she told me."
"So, do you remember pushing me into the river?" Xie Qingyu asked directly.
Her words immediately excited those around her.
They had originally planned to go home and rest, waiting for Ma Erya to wake up so they could see what was going on. But soon after arriving, they saw the old lady and Shuanzi bringing Ma Erya over and talking about how Ma Erya was going to marry Shuanzi. They had completely forgotten what had happened at the beginning.
They were clearly just there to watch the drama unfold.
Hearing this, Ma Erya seemed inexplicably flustered and helpless. She looked at Shuanzi standing to the side, as if pleading with him to say a word for her.
Shuanzi was still basking in the joy of his impending marriage when he saw Ma Erya's gaze and immediately felt protective of her.
"She doesn't remember anything now, how could she possibly remember this?" Shuanzi didn't dare to make a guarantee, after all, he was just a bystander at the beginning, and even made a bet with someone that Ma Erya pushed Xie Qingyu down, and then Tu Shen pushed her down.
It would be quite difficult to ask him to confidently assert that it's impossible for him to be there now.
"Really? She went up the mountain because she fell in love with Tu Shen. When Tu Shen came to our house to propose marriage, she stood up and said that my eyesight was bad and that she could marry Tu Shen."
Xie Qingyu spoke softly and gently, as if calmly stating a fact without any personal emotion.
"A few days after I married Tu Shen, she came up the mountain with me... saying she wanted to see my grandmother. Hmm, I guess I can believe that's true for now." Xie Qingyu said with a hint of helplessness. "Then she brought my grandmother to my house, saying she wanted to give her to Tu Shen. This..."
Before Xie Qingyu could finish speaking, someone else had already spoken for her.
"Such a thing is true, Butcher. Do you think your eldest grandson is some rich man down the mountain with three wives and four concubines?"
“We hunters don’t do that. We’re not afraid of being laughed at if word gets out. Even if Tu Shen is capable, he can’t support two wives.”
"...This is a bit much. So, she's here specifically for Tu Shen."
"Tu Shen is quite something. Not only can he get a wife, but more than one woman wants to marry him..."
Immediately, there was a great deal of discussion, and even Shuanzi's expression changed.
"So... so after we rejected my grandma's proposal, she didn't say anything at the time. We thought it was my grandma's own idea, but she herself didn't mean it that way. After all, as you know, girls from down in the mountain don't willingly marry into the mountains."
Xie Qingyu's words were true; this was a fact known to everyone.
Although both places are poor, at least those living down the mountain can eat their fill and receive medical care.
Life on the mountain is really tough.
Hearing this, Tu Shen, who was standing next to Xie Qingyu, clenched his fingers and felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he did not interrupt.
"So I treated her like a girl who came to have fun. I never expected her to have such a plan. Knowing that I can't see, she insisted on inviting me to pick berries by the river, and then... and then she made excuses... If Tu Shen hadn't returned in time, my body would probably have been found somewhere long ago." Xie Qingyu's tone was somewhat sorrowful at the end.
Her words contained no emotional outbursts, nor any personal sentiment, yet they conveyed her sense of grievance.
Having suffered such an undeserved calamity, the person involved is now suffering from amnesia.
"I didn't, I don't know." Ma Erya tried even harder to hide behind Shuanzi, grabbing the hem of his clothes.
“We don’t know if what you’re saying is true or not, and even if it is true, she doesn’t remember now, so we can’t just say whatever we want,” the old woman said at the right moment.
"Besides, you said she did this because she likes Tu Shen. Now is the perfect time to let Shuanzi marry her. She will be my daughter-in-law, and then she will definitely have nothing to do with you and will not do anything bad to you."
The old lady's words garnered some agreement.
Some people even murmured, "Why didn't I run ahead and find Ma Erya back then? Otherwise, I could have a wife now."
"Sigh, she doesn't remember that either..."
I don't know who uttered that sigh.
Yes.
At first, they were indignant about Ma Erya's behavior and felt that now that they had found her, her actions should be dealt with. But now she has amnesia.
This means she has become the weaker party.
Most people will offer assistance to the vulnerable in a way that is cloaked in justice.
Ma Erya probably knew this.
"Why don't we just let it go?" The kind-hearted Uncle Tu was a representative of this type of person. He stepped forward to smooth things over and said to Tu Shen, "Originally, something like this should be dealt with, but now she knows nothing. Even if we hold a grudge, there's nothing we can do. We might as well just let it go."
"She can't defend herself now, she's practically a fool, so you shouldn't bother with her." Butcher's tone always carried an unpleasant commanding tone.
"So, you really have amnesia?" Xie Qingyu asked loudly.
Now everyone's attention was on Ma Erya. Even though they all knew about this, they still waited for her answer.
Ma Erya lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes. "I'm sorry, I don't remember anything."
