Chapter 163: Going Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang did not linger on for long. After buying the things, she left with Chu Yan.
Liu Sanniang sat in the carriage. They had bought a plush blanket. It was very comfortable. There was also a small cabinet that could be used to store tea. The drawer in it could be used to store snacks.
Liu Sanniang opened the drawer and her eyes widened. There were really snacks in the drawer!
If she didn’t buy it, then Chu Yan did. When did he buy all of this??
He bought it for her to eat!
Liu Sanniang could not help but blush.
Two days later, Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang returned to Yong County. Liu Sanniang had been away for ten days. Madam Wei and the others were very worried.
Chu Yan parked the carriage in the courtyard and led the horse to the backyard. Mr. Liu was more and more satisfied with Chu Yan. He urged him to rest. “Go and rest. I’ll handle this.”
It must have been a tiring journey for the two of them.
Chu Yan nodded and returned to the courtyard. Madam Wei was talking to Liu Sanniang.
Madam Wei’s heart ached the most. She had never been separated from Liu Sanniang for so long. While her daughter was gone, she could not sleep every night.
Liu Sanniang took out the things she had bought. “Mother, use it to make soup.”
Madam Wei’s love for her was warm and sweet. She leaned on Madam Wei’s shoulder. To Madam Liu, Liu Sanniang was not a psychic, but the little girl whom she doted upon.
Under the protection of Madam Wei, she had never experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Madam Wei nodded.
At night, Madam Wei made several dishes that Liu Sanniang liked.
As Liu Erlang ate the fishballs, he couldn’t help but say. “Sanniang, don’t go out anymore. When you were away, Mom didn’t even cook for us.”
Liu Dalang raised a glass to Chu Yan silently. He nodded and drank his glass in one go. They all knew that as soon as Liu Erlang spoke, he would be beaten up.
As expected, as soon as Liu Erlang finished speaking, Madam Wei hit his hand that was about to pick up the fish with her chopsticks. “Even food can’t shut your mouth.”
Liu Erlang picked up a piece of fish as if nothing had happened. After eating the fish, he muttered softly. “What I said is true…”
Mr. Liu quickly picked up a piece of fish for Liu Sanniang. “Ignore your second brother. You’ve lost weight. Eat more.”
Liu Sanniang smiled without saying anything. Their family had always been like this, but now there was Chu Yan in it as well.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but look at Chu Yan and saw that he was clinking glasses with her eldest brother.
Liu Sanniang was puzzled. When did Chu Yan and her eldest brother become so close?
After dinner, Liu Erlang sneaked out. “I won’t do the dishes tonight. I have something on.”
Madam Wei shook her head helplessly. This brat.
Liu Dalang stood up. “Mother, go and rest. I’ll do it.”
Mr. Liu said to Chu Yan, “Yan, let’s go outside.”
Chu Yan nodded.
Liu Sanniang was also sitting outside. Not long after, Liu Erlang came out of the house mysteriously and said, “Sanniang, I have a gift for you.”
Liu Sanniang turned around and saw a small dog in Liu Erlang’s arms…
Madam Wei hated furry animals the most. She immediately exploded with anger. “Liu Erlang, do you want to die?”
Liu Erlang hurriedly said, “Mother, don’t be angry. I’m doing this for Sanniang’s sake. When it grows up, it can protect Sanniang. I spent a lot of money to buy it.”
The puppy was still a newborn. Its eyes were still closed…
The Liu family had never had such a furry animal before. Madam Wei could not stand it at first. She went to get a broom and chased after Liu Erlang who ran away quickly. He placed the dog on Liu Sanniang’s knee and ran out of the courtyard.
Madam Wei was furious.
Liu Sanniang felt a furry dog being stuffed into her arms. She looked down and saw that the puppy looked like it was just born. Its eyes were not fully open, and it seemed to be a little afraid. Its head burrowed into Liu Sanniang’s palm.
Liu Sanniang was a little stunned.
She had never had a dog before, not in her previous life and not in this one. But suddenly she was given one. She… didn’t seem to dislike it.
With its pink tongue sticking out slightly, it was very likable.
Madam Wei didn’t know what to say.
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Wei. “Mother, what should we do?”
Madam Wei did not know what to do. She did not like cats and dogs, so she did not allow Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang to raise them. Now, Liu Sanniang had to go out often, so she was worried.
Dogs were the most loyal. If they were raised well, they would protect their owner.
Madam Wei was silent for a moment before replying. “Show me if it’s completely black.”
Black dogs could ward off evil spirits. This was something that had been passed down since ancient times.
Liu Sanniang picked it up and was about to take a closer look when it was snatched away by a hand.
Chu Yan looked at it. “It’s black. Pure black. The skin is also black. It’s very rare.”
This was a male dog!
Madam Wei was in a difficult position. She stomped her feet in anger. “Erlang is getting really bold these days.”
Liu Erlang knew Madam Wei’s personality, so he ran away when Madam Wei was the most angry. Madam Wei would definitely not vent her anger on Liu Dalang and Liu Sanniang, let alone Chu Yan.
Mr. Liu and Liu Dalang did not say anything. Liu Erlang was a little stupid, but he still knew he should talk about it after dinner. If this had happened before dinner, Liu Erlang would have surely gone hungry at night.
Mr. Liu looked at Madam Wei and shook his head. He didn’t know if he should consider his second son as smart or stupid.
Liu Dalang walked over and took the black dog from Chu Yan’s hand to take a look. “Mom, it’s really black. Even its paws are black. Look, it’s a male.”
Madam Wei immediately took a step backward. “Take it away.”
She felt as if her heart had been split in two. On the one hand, she supported having the dog, but on the other hand, she didn’t.
Madam Wei couldn’t help but mutter. “No, no, I have to think about it.”
Liu Dalang placed the black dog in Liu Sanniang’s arms and smiled at her. “Sanniang, keep it. This dog looks like it can grow very big and will be very powerful.”
Liu Sanniang was a little uncertain. “I don’t want to. What if it… poops? Forget it, forget it. It’s gonna mess up the house.”
Madam Wei muttered. “But it’s a black one. It can ward off evil!”
If it was yellow, white, and gray, she would not hesitate to throw it out. Whoever wanted to raise it could do so. But it was a black pup.
Madam Wei bit the bullet and picked up the puppy to look at it.
