The Beast King's Little Wife

"Father Elephant, Father Elephant, please don't do this! Please don't abandon us, mother and children..."

Tiger Mom's expression changed drastically upon hearing the voice. "Oh no, it's Elephant Dad, who's paralyzed in bed."

The group quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

People continued to run over from all around.

A group of people had already gathered in front of them.

Women and children were making pitiful cries to dissuade them.

"Honey, please don't, please don't..."

"What's wrong..." Tiger Mom walked through the crowd and went inside.

Lin Dujuan followed them inside and saw a man holding a stone knife to his throat.

Blood was already flowing freely from his body and limbs.

Beside him stood a woman with tears streaming down her face, and three children who were only a few years old.

The woman kept sobbing and crying.

"Honey, please don't do this. Put down the knife, can't we talk this out?"

"No, I won't let you go. Let me die. I'm just a burden to this family. If I die, you can remarry with the children."

"No...Dad, no!"

Eight-year-old Manxiang cried loudly, trying to pounce on him.

However, after taking only two steps, the savage father suddenly stabbed down with his knife.

"I said, I must die today."

Fresh blood gushed from his throat.

The crimson blood stained the ground a dark red. The entire area reeked of blood.

"Father Manxiang, how could you be so foolish? We people from Huxi Village, and I, will all take care of you. How could you be so reckless!"

Tiger Mom was eager to persuade her.

However, the father of the elephant looked at the mother of the tiger indifferently and shook his head, "Don't come any closer. I told you, I have to die today. Actually, after my leg was crippled, I never wanted to live again. The children's mother is still young, she can find another man to marry with three children. Without me as a burden, they can live a better life."

"You... the child's father doesn't want it. If you really want me to get married, I'll just find someone to come to our door and we can live together."

It seems that the Elephant Girl has finally made a compromise.

However, the father of the elephant looked at her with a bitter expression.

“Wife, if I wanted to live like this, I would have brought it up a long time ago. I'm a man, after all. To see my woman in another man's arms, and even have a child with him, do you think I could bear it…”

The elephant mother cried out in suppressed sobs.

She had always known this fact. That's why she hadn't proposed marriage, nor did she want to. But now, the children's father, for her and the children's future, was actually going to take his own life. This cruel reality was something she couldn't accept.

“If you stay with me, you won’t have enough to eat, and you’ll easily starve to death in the winter. Last year, our youngest daughter died from hunger and cold. This year, I don’t want to see any more children get sick and starve to death. So, I’m leaving. Out of sight, out of mind, it’s the best choice for you to get married…”

As he spoke, the father of the barbarian elephant raised his knife and attempted suicide.

"No, please don't, my husband, please don't abandon us, mother and children..." Manxiang's mother sobbed uncontrollably.

"Father...please don't leave us..." Manxiang cried loudly.

"Elephant Dad, don't do anything foolish. We'll take responsibility for you... Don't do it..." Tiger Mom urged anxiously.

"Fine, go ahead and die, don't hold him back. We'll just watch him die. A coward like him is just a waste of air. What's the point of pulling him back? He's a useless man, crippled in body and mind. There's no use in bringing him back."

Just as everyone was trying to persuade them, a sudden voice rang out.

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound and found that it was Lin Dujuan who made it.

Tiger Mom panicked and quietly pulled her aside.

The elephant mother was also getting anxious, "This..."

The elephant glared at her angrily, almost as if it wanted to kill her with its eyes.

Elephant Father was stunned for a moment, then glared at her with bulging veins, panting heavily, "You said I was a coward... I used to be the most famous warrior in the village." After saying that, tears streamed down his face again.

Tiger Mom chimed in.

"Yes, Manxiang's father... he's a member of our village's elite squad."

An onlooker said, "The Sharp Knife Team is the most famous organization in our village. You, a new bride, don't understand. You can't possibly comprehend the glory that Manxiang's father once had. He was one of the best hunters in the village back then. Manxiang's mother was also one of the most beautiful women in the village. Isn't she still very beautiful now?"

Lin Dujuan didn't comment on Manxiang's mother, but she thought that even though this woman had given birth to several children, her figure was still decent. Her face was also oval-shaped. In the village, she was considered a good-looking person.

Lin Dujuan ignored the criticisms of these people and just stared coldly at the elephant father in front of her.

"You were once a hero? You were once one of the most prominent figures in the village? You once married the most beautiful woman in the village? So now you're crippled, you're heartbroken and sad? You feel the contrast is too great. You can't bear it, so you found a perfect excuse, claiming that you want to find a way for them, mother and children, to live a good life. You want to commit suicide, you want to harm yourself!"

The veins on Manxiang's father's hand, gripping the knife, bulged. He glared at Lin Dujuan, seemingly acknowledging her words: "That's what I think, and that's what I do. A real man does it this way."

Lin Dujuan chuckled.

"You think this is heroic? Bah! Who told you this is heroic? I'd say it's the most cowardly thing you've ever done! Your actions are utterly despicable and shameless, and you're still making excuses for your cowardice! You're not worthy of being a man, and you've wasted the love and care that Manxiang Mother has for you, and you've let down the children's admiration for you. You're just... a cowardly man living in the past, afraid to face the harsh reality!"

Lin Dujuan practically shouted those last words.

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

The father, Manxiang, was so angry that he pointed a knife at her.

"you you you……"

The mother of the wild elephant was about to say something, but the tiger mother pulled her back. She quietly shook her head, looking at Lin Dujuan with surprise. This daughter-in-law seemed to have a knack for persuasion.

I just don't know if Manxiang's father can accept this fact.

"What did I do wrong? You feel even more upset and embarrassed now that I'm telling you the truth? Ugh, in my eyes, any man or woman who's threatening suicide or self-harm is a bunch of shameless bastards."

The elephant stared wide-eyed at her incredulously. This tiger-toothed wife of his, how could she say anything? But why, at this moment, did he actually feel… that what this woman said made so much sense, and he seemed unable to refute it!
