Honorable Hubby Behind Me

Chapter 5
"Hey shopkeeper, one pack of cigarettes."
"You're so punctual every day." i
The shopkeeper lamented over at one of the small stores across the street from the Sue family's company.
Since that one day three years ago, that young man always appeared at the shop very punctually. He came every day for three years, whether rain or shine. The shopkeeper felt strange at first, but he gradually realized that the young man would leave whenever Yvonne left the company.
The shopkeeper could guess Samuel's identity, but it was never mentioned. Every family had experiences that were heart-wrenching to think about. The Sue family's son-in-law was treated as a good-for- nothing by the entire Cloud City, and perhaps the young man did not want others to know about his identity. 2
"I have nothing to do anyway," Samuel said with a smile.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and he admired Samuel's persistence very much. For three years, Samuel appeared on time at 4:30 every day and guarded Yvonne silently like that. 1 "When do you plan to pick her up when she gets off work? Watching from afar like this every day isn't the solution." There were no customers in the store, so the boss chatted with Samuel.
Samuel looked at the company entrance and smiled faintly. "It's not time yet."
"I have a question, my friend, though I'm not sure if I'm in any place to ask it," the boss asked.
"Ask away."
"I don't think you look like an ordinary person. Why... How did you come to live with the Sue family?" Although the shopkeeper's eyes were not that discerning, he still met plenty of customers every day. From what he could tell, Samuel was different from the others. It was difficult to describe it, but the shopkeeper had the feeling that Samuel was probably not the good-for-nothing that everyone said he was.
"I have flesh and blood. I eat, drink, sleep, and go to the toilet as much as anyone else. I'm definitely an ordinary person," Samuel said.
"You know that's not what I meant," the boss hesitated for a while but continued, "You've endured so much criticism. If I were in your shoes, I would've crumbled."
Crumbled?
Samuel smiled. He was a trashed and abandoned son who went and lived with the Sue family. If Yvonne did not collapse, he had no right to do so.
A bystander would feel that Samuel endured too much humiliation.
From Samuel's point of view however, the humiliation that Yvonne received was far more serious than what he went through.
"What I've endured is nothing compared to what she had to go through," Samuel said.
The shopkeeper sighed and said nothing more.
After Yvonne got off work, Samuel bid farewell to the shopkeeper as usual and rode away on his small electric bicycle.
Yvonne stood at the door of the company until Samuel disappeared.
