Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Liu Sanniang entered her house, Chu Yan carried the things in.
Madam Wei had a smile on her face as she said, “Yan, stay for dinner tonight. I’ll make a braised pork pot for you.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Okay.”
Liu Dalang patted Chu Yan’s back. “Let’s have a drink tonight.”
Chu Yan nodded.
Liu Erlang was about to go out to walk General Black when he added. “Chu Yan, I want to drink with you too. Don’t be a coward.”
After more than two months, General Black had grown several times bigger. His limbs were strong, and it was obvious at a glance that he would eventually grow into a gigantic dog.
After being tied up, General Black struggled to run towards Liu Sanniang. Liu Erlang had no choice but to go over. General Hei wagged his tail at Liu Sanniang and whimpered.
Liu Sanniang squatted down and touched General Black’s head. He immediately stopped his whining.
Liu Erlang couldn’t help but complain. “What an ungrateful dog. I take him out to walk every day, but he forgets me the moment Sanniang comes back.”
General Black seemed to understand what he was saying. He turned around and bit the rope and pulled it in Liu Sanniang’s direction.
Seeing this, Madam Wei said happily, “Good dog. He doesn’t forget who his real owner is.”
Liu Sanniang touched General Black’s head. Since she had nothing to do now, she said, “Second Brother, give me the rope. I’ll take him out for a walk.”
General Black immediately sat down obediently. He panted with his tongue out and his ears were perked up, looking very excited.
Even Mr. Liu couldn’t help but praise. “General Black is really smart.”
Liu Erlang patted his chest. “Of course. I spent a lot of money.”
Madam Wei said angrily, “How much did you spend? I’ll compensate you.”
Liu Erlang chuckled and replied with a forced smile. “It’s Sanniang’s first time walking the dog. I’ll go with her.”
Liu Sanniang pulled the rope and walked out. Liu Erlang followed suit.
General Black ran in front like he was the one taking the two of them out.
Liu Sanniang could not stop him. Liu Erlang took the rope from her and let go of it. Soon, General Black was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Erlang smiled. “Sanniang, in the future, when you walk General Black, just let him roam around freely. He has a wild nature that can’t be suppressed. Otherwise, he won’t be able to protect you when he grows up.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
After letting General Black run around on the mountain for a while, Liu Erlang whistled with his finger and General Black swooshed back.
At night, Madam Wei cooked a table full of dishes.
Liu Sanniang and Madam Wei drank fruit wine, while Chu Yan, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang had red wine.
Mr. Liu liked wine, but he was not an alcoholic. He also taught Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang not to overindulge in drinking.
After dinner, Chu Yan went back.
At night, Liu Sanniang felt a golden light fly into her body. It was warm and comfortable.
In the past few days at home, Liu Sanniang had also finished making another set of clothes for Chu Yan. This one was white. She only used some silver threads to embroider the cloud patterns, so it did not take long for her to finish it and give it to Chu Yan.
This time, she was not so shy.
On the twentieth of December.
Liu Dalang and Tang An were engaged.
The Liu family would have to go over to send the betrothal presents while Tang An had to ask her relatives over to testify to the engagement.
Liu Sanniang had also changed into new clothes. She was wearing a lake-blue dress with light pink peach blossoms on it. It was very beautiful.
Mr. Chu came over with Chu Yan. Mr. Chu had a smile on his face. When he saw Mr. Liu and Madam Wei, he quickly greeted them.
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. He was wearing the white clothes she had made for him. Perhaps knowing that Liu Sanniang was looking at him, he also looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Sanniang’s heart skipped a beat. At this moment, Chu Yan looked handsome and gentlemanly. He gazed at her with affection. Liu Sanniang could hear her heart beating fast against her chest.
Liu Erlang looked at him and was stunned for a moment. “Chu Yan, you look really good in this. You look a little like a noble young master. Don’t walk with me and my brother. Otherwise, we will look like your guards. Hahaha.”
Liu Erlang was just teasing him. Chu Yan was wearing white, Liu Erlang was wearing blue, and Liu Dalang was wearing green. They were all tall and good-looking.
Madam Wei shook her head helplessly. “Can’t you stop talking?”
However, Liu Erlang was right. Madam Wei was also shocked when she saw Chu Yan on this day. He indeed gave off an intimidating noble aura.
Standing next to Chu Yan, Liu Sanniang seemed petite. In just half a year, Liu Sanniang had also changed a lot. Her eyes were sparkling with energy, and her demeanor was calm and collected. She exuded a noble aura. When the two of them stood side by side, they looked very compatible.
They went to Tang Village together.
On the way, when people saw them, they would give them a second look. Madam Wei was overjoyed and proud of her children and son-in-law.
This pride was something that nothing could replace.
Tang Village was not far from Yong County. They arrived within an hour.
The weather was good on this day.
Tang An’s uncle was called Tang Maosheng, and her aunt was called Wu Yan, Madam Wu.
Tang An and Tang Maosheng’s houses were separated by a wall. When the Liu family arrived, Tang Maosheng immediately came out to welcome them. When he saw the family, he was stunned for a moment before reacting. “In-law, please come in.”
Tang Maosheng had never paid much attention to Liu Dalang. He knew that Liu Dalang was tall and handsome, but he did not expect him to look so good after dressing up.
Mr. Liu and Madam Wei had never been to Tang An’s house before. This was their first time here, but Madam Wei knew that Tang An had an uncle and aunt. Mr. Liu didn’t know much about it. He always let Madam Wei take charge of the family affairs. Seeing that Madam Wei didn’t hand the betrothal presents over, he turned to look at her in confusion.
Madam Wei smiled. “You must be Tang An’s uncle. Is this Tang An’s house?”
Tang Maosheng was stunned for a moment before answering. “Yes, I am. My brother passed away early. It was me who raised these two children.”
Madam Wei smiled. “May I ask where Tang An and Tang Yuan’s house is? We’re here to send the betrothal presents. After we are done giving the presents, we’ll come to visit you.”
Hearing that, the smile on Tang Maosheng’s face froze.
Madam Wei was very concerned about Liu Dalang’s marriage and had brought many good things. Looking at the presents, Tang Maosheng couldn’t help but covet them.
