My brother turned out to be my husband
Chapter 24: Evans' Dream (1).

"I go first" said Leon to his beloved wife. Armed with a straw hat and a worn linen bag, as well as a bel4t1, the man would go hunting again.

Normally, Leon would do a hunt for five nights. However, if he gets a big catch, he does not have to wait long and will immediately go home.

"Be careful" Iris said.

Leon nodded his head while bringing Iris into his arms.

Leon's gone. Iris's eyes always accompanied the steps of her beloved husband, until he completely disappeared from her sight.

After that, Iris was getting ready to go to the landlord's orchard to work.

Actually, he was reluctant to work there, because he had experienced a bitter event with the landowner that caused Iris to be plagued by trauma. However, their difficult life forces the woman to keep fighting. He could not let Leon bear their lives alone.

Elena also followed Iris' departure to the plantation.

Before actually leaving the house, Iris set her breath first, then smiled broadly. In her heart, Elena felt very salute to the young woman's attitude, because, Iris so hid her sadness from Leon. As much as possible, she never wanted to display a look of sadness in front of her husband.

Although their lives are full of shortcomings, but the love that is poured out on each other is able to cover it.

"Iris!" Bella, Iris' friend, calls the woman to join her.

"You've been here since?" ask Iris.

"No. Just new. We're just together. I'm taking part here, and you're taking part there." Bella pointed at the area that was next to Iris and herself.

"Thank you" said Iris.

Bella nodded her head while reviewing the smile.

Both, along with several other female workers were busy picking the landlord's harvest.

...***...

Elena frowned when she noticed the change in look on Iris's face as soon as she saw the landlord's figure in front of the storage warehouse. The man seemed to be watching his men while watching each worker.

Iris stopped her steps and began to catch her breath, before starting to walk back.

Seeing Iris coming, Benjamin grinned happily. He even played his tongue in a disgusting way.

With a slightly trembling hand Iris handed over her crops to Benjamin's men to weigh.

The big man stood up from the chair and walked over to Iris.

The woman took two steps back.

"20 pounds" said the man. The man then counted the coins and handed them to Iris.

"Pay him double!" yemen suddenly.

"Ti—no need Sir. My results are indeed this way," Iris. He knew Benjamin would always try to catch his attention. The incident when the man nearly raped***was still imprinted to this day, and he didn't tell Leon at all.

Benjamin pulled out Iris' hand and held her chin. "Thank you." His smile returned a creepy grin. The few workers who were lined up behind Iris, looked at the young woman with concern. They knew Benjamin was paying attention to Iris, but the man already had many wives and mistresses, some of whom did come from the workers.

The girls, of course, did not refuse, because with Benjamin their lives could be guaranteed. Only Iris is the only girl who dares to refuse Benjamin's invitation to marry her.

"No sir, that's not my right. I will only receive a wage from the fruits of my labor." Iris ventured to say so. His head nodded respectfully, even though both of his hands were already shaking violently.

"You have always dared to refute my every word, huh? I don't know why, the more you refuse, the more I want you." Benjamin whispered into Iris' ear, before then distancing himself.

With a heavy heart Iris stepped away. Lasting longer there was also not good for him.

Elena could only wonder inwardly when she saw all of that. What fear had Iris faced from that big man? Did he hide it from Leon?

...**********...

Evans looked at Elena from behind the glass. Almost every day after returning home from work, he would stop by to look after his sister until midnight.

This is Elena's sixth day of coma. The doctor had just said that Elena was past her critical period. However, they themselves were also at a loss as to why Elena had not woken up as well.

"What are you waiting for? Are you deliberately waiting for my regrets to get bigger, El?" gumam Evans.

...***...

By midnight, Evans was home. The man went straight to the room as both his parents must have rested.

Since this afternoon, Evans has not eaten at all. However, even though his stomach was sore and struggling to ask to be filled, he still ignored it.

After bathing and changing clothes, Evans broke down and began to close his eyes.

...**********...

A shabby-clothed man was busy aiming at his target animal which seemed to run to and fro. He did not dare to go closer, for fear that the results of his hunt had run away again.

After making sure that the results of his hunt were locked, he swiftly threw the prepared bel4t1.

The screeching sound of the boar tertvsvk bel4t1 belonged to the man, echoing filled the silence of the night.

The man came out of his hiding place. With a happy look, he tied the fat pig with a rope and covered his body with linen, then dragged it.

It took three days of stalking the pig and his efforts were not in vain. Although he had to leave his two friends who had gotten the hunt first, he did not regret.

"They must regret not wanting to be patient waiting" murmured the man.

When he had just pulled it a few meters away, suddenly appeared several horsemen who blocked his path.

He thought they were other hunters trying to take the pigs. But apparently not. Some of the men even hit his 4j4r nape to unconsciousness.

...***...

The man awoke from his stupor in the condition of his hands and feet tied in a worn-out chair.

He looked around his place at this moment. From the looks of it, this is an underground storage warehouse made specifically for storing drinks ker4s.

Only one person had a place like this in his residence and that was ...

"You're awake apparently." A large man came down with three other men.

He frowned when he saw the men carrying various kinds of senj4t4 t4j4m in their hands.

"Mr Benjamin? What's the matter?" ask the man confused. He never had a problem with the landlord. Never mind trouble, just know no.

He only knew that Benjamin was the boss of his beloved wife.

Benjamin smiled cynically.
