I looked at Luke, the cowherd, walking in the field with me.
I never expected that I would be reborn and become a cow witnessing the love story between Luke, the cowherd, and Aurora, the Aurora, on the day of Valentine's Day.
I remembered the teacher had told me the story of Luke and Aurora when I was in primary school.
The cow told Luke to steal Aurora's clothes, telling him she would stay and become his wife.
I asked the teacher, "Is the cow inciting others to commit a crime?"
The teacher immediately called my parents that day, saying that I was making trouble for no reason.
I was more than making trouble.
I thought that no one in the story was a normal person.
The cow incited others to commit crimes.
Luke was someone peeping at others taking a shower. He was a thief who had abducted a girl. Moreover, he morally blackmailed Aurora and tried to take advantage of her to rise to the top.
Aurora was love-struck.
This story was misleading.
Now, I managed to see Luke. Theoretically speaking, I should slap him hard.
But I was just a cow now.
When I was reborn, Aurora had given birth to a child for Luke.
Besides weaving day and night, she was taking care of the child every day.
Looking haggard, she was dramatically different from the fairy I imagined.
Luke went to the field to watch over the cows every day, spending his day leisurely.
"How carefree he is."
I bit my back teeth.
"As a cow, I can't do anything."
"But I am a cow that can talk."
Luke tended to take the advice of the old yellow cow.
"Isn't this an opportunity?"
I decided to lecture him on male virtues.
I stopped. Luke turned back to look at me curiously.
I pretended to be profound and asked him, "Do you want to know how to keep the fairy with you forever?"
...
He asked me with some confusion, "Can't she stay with me forever after losing her feather coat?"
I told him that it was far from being enough.
Aurora was a celestial fairy in Heaven. One day, people from the Heavenly Palace would come to find her.
He was treating Aurora so badly now.
At that time, Aurora would follow the people from the Heavenly Palace back to Heaven without looking back.
Luke became nervous when he heard me say this.
"What should I do then?"
"Of course, you should treat her well. Do I need to teach you how?"
Luke scratched his head.
"But I didn't treat her badly either."
I almost had an urge to kick him to death.
"Isn't he treating her badly enough? Is he an idiot?"
"I made her do what every woman would do. Women in other families have to do housework and take care of children too."
"Wow, he is taking advantage of Aurora's kindness. Does he know that he, who married a fairy, is reaching beyond his station?"
"Are women from other families the same fairies as Aurora?"
He suddenly realized something and shook his head.
"Now everyone in the village knows that you married a fairy. Who knows how many men are secretly coveting her? Maybe they are hoping that you will mistreat the fairy so that they can have a chance to be with her."
As soon as Luke heard me say this, he felt a sense of crisis.
In the past, the men in the village were envious, jealous, and resentful of him. They were always praising him for being amazing.
They complimented him on being able to marry a fairy.
He was proud when he heard these compliments.
Now, he realized that these men might all want to marry fairies too.
I told Luke that he should do more work and learn how to take care of the children after he was home. He should try his best to let the fairy live the life she used to have.
Luke immediately pulled me, saying he wanted to go home.
I followed him back slowly.
Luke snatched the child from Aurora's arms, saying he would take care of him.
He told Aurora to stop weaving and sit down to rest herself.
I looked at the scene and felt very pleased, thinking that he did have some great potential.
But Aurora started crying.
She asked Luke if she had done something wrong.
"Well, is she sick?"
Chapter 2 Love-struck Aurora"Aurora is such a love-struck woman!"
I gave Luke a signal. Then I called Aurora out.
Aurora was sobbing. She asked me why Luke suddenly told her not to do house chores.
I was speechless for a moment.
"Is she addicted to working?"
"At least, being a nanny can earn her some money."
"Why does she love working so much even though she doesn't make any money?"
"Do you want Luke to continue loving you?"
Aurora nodded vigorously with a hint of gleam in her eyes.
"Men are like this. The better you treat them, the less they cherish you. In the future, let him do whatever work you do. You will give him orders."
Aurora looked at me in disbelief and shook her head repeatedly.
She thought I was lying to her.
"Every woman in this village treats their husband so well. Do you think their husbands love them?"
Aurora shook her head.
Women in this village were all virtuous wives and good mothers. Unfortunately, most of them didn't earn any respect from their husbands.
Their husbands often beat and scolded them.
Aurora seemed to reluctantly believe what I said.
We returned to the house. Luke was holding the child and coaxing him. Aurora went over and sat down next to him, preparing to pour a cup of coffee for Luke.
I quickly said, "Hurry up and pour coffee for your wife. She doesn't need to pour coffee for herself in Heaven."
Luke quickly held the child in one hand and picked up the kettle to pour coffee for Aurora.
"I have to say that taking care of children is more suitable for men."
Holding a child and doing work at the same time would make women exhausted.
Aurora looked at Luke as he was holding the child and pouring coffee for her.
She looked at me disapprovingly.
I immediately asked Luke, "Are you happy pouring coffee for the fairy?"
Luke nodded without hesitation.
Hearing Luke say this, Aurora shyly lowered her head. She was moved to tears.
"No, Aurora, you don't have to do these things by yourself in Heaven."
"Now that you are suffering here. How come you are moved by a man who is doing such a petty thing for you?"
"Is she probably tired of having a good life?"
I hadn't eaten anything since I was here. Now, I was so hungry that I wanted to lie on the ground.
I weakly instructed Luke.
"Hurry up and cook later. Remember to make more for me."
Luke quickly agreed.
While holding the child, he walked towards the kitchen outside.
Aurora stopped him and told him she would cook.
I asked her, "Can you hold the child and cook at the same time?"
Aurora shook her head. She used to carry the child on her back while cooking. The child would easily cry.
She had to comfort the child while worrying about the food being cooked.
I looked at Luke and said, "You can do it, right?"
Luke seemed to feel that I had hurt his self-esteem. He immediately flexed his muscles on his arms to prove himself.
I nodded satisfactorily and said, "Remember to cook something delicious."
Luke happily went out to cook.
Lying on the ground, I was waiting for a delicious meal later.
But a burnt smell wafted in from outside.
There was an ominous premonition in my heart in an instant.
Luke ran in with a face full of soot, holding a spatula.
I couldn't help but get angry when I saw him like this.
"Can't you even cook a meal? Are you that lazy and ignorant? If you can't win a woman over with your cooking skills, how can you win her over forever?"
Luke was stunned by my series of questions.
He looked at Aurora pitifully.
Sure enough, Aurora felt sorry and went forward to wipe the dust-off Luke's face with a handkerchief.
She said she wanted to cook by herself.
"She is so eager to do housework."
I was speechless.
I took Aurora outside and told her that rushing to do things wouldn't do her anything good. "If she does all the work, what will Luke have left to do?"
"If Luke doesn't do any work, he will become useless. It will seriously hurt Luke's self-esteem. So, for the sake of Luke's physical and mental health, he must do all the work in the future."
