Chapter 231: Greedy Uncle And Aunt
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He and Madam Wu had discussed long ago that the engagement had to take place at his house so that they could keep the things.
Tang An’s betrothal gift must be a lot. They wanted it all.
Therefore, when they saw the Liu family coming from afar, the couple went out and waited.
After explaining his identity, he was supposed to welcome them into the house. However, he did not expect Madam Wei to say that. Though Madam Wei had a smile on her face, Tang Maosheng knew that she was not someone who could be fooled easily.
Madam Wu could not maintain the smile on her face. She replied with difficulty. “Madam Wei, An and Yuan don’t have parents. As their uncle and aunt, how can we not worry about such an important matter?”
After Madam Wu finished speaking, she shouted into the house. “Yu, go and see if your cousin is ready. It’s time for her to come over.”
Tang Yu was Madam Wu’s 15 year-old daughter. She came out of the house, wearing a pink dress. She looked at Liu Dalang and smiled before going to the house next door.
Compared to Tang An who was skinny, Tang Yu’s figure was very good.
Madam Wu knew that as long as she could get Tang An and Tang Yuan to come over now, her plan would still succeed.
After instructing Tang Yu, Madam Wu smiled and reached out to pull Madam Wei. “Come in. The tea and snacks are ready. Come in and have some tea. Tang An and Tang Yuan will be here soon.”
Madam Wei nudged Madam Wu and turned to look at Liu Dalang with a cold face. “Dalang, you’re the one getting engaged today. Do you not know where your future wife’s family is?”
Madam Wei was a little angry. How could she not know what Madam Wu was up to? She didn’t prepare all these presents for Tang An’s uncle and aunt.
When Madam Wei shouted at him, Liu Dalang immediately understood. Just as he was about to speak, a voice was heard. “Uncle Liu, Auntie, you’re here. I’m here to pick you up.”
Tang Yuan was next door. He heard what Madam Wei said clearly.
Madam Wei pushed Madam Wu away and walked towards Tang Yuan. “Let’s go. Yuan is here to pick us up.”
Madam Wu and Tang Maosheng watched helplessly as the presents were taken away.
Madam Wu gritted her teeth in anger as she said, “How can Tang An be worthy of such a family.”
Tang An was an orphan. She was about the same age as Tang Yu. Her figure and appearance could not compare to Tang Yu at all, but why did she end up getting such a good marriage?
Originally, the men they chose for Tang An were all older.
She did not expect the matchmaker to find such a good family for Tang An. She was puzzled. What was so special about Tang An that made this family like her so much?
Tang Yu came back angrily and stomped her feet. “Mother, I like Liu Dalang too. I want to marry him. In what way am I inferior to Tang An?”
Madam Wu also felt aggrieved. If only this was the engagement day of her daughter.
Tang Maosheng said, “I think Liu Erlang is not bad either.”
Both the sons of the Liu family were good-looking and tall. Infact Liu Erlang looked more pleasing to the eye than Liu Dalang. Liu Dalang looked mature while Liu Erlang was more outgoing.
Tang Yu refused. “But I like Liu Dalang.”
During this period of time, she often saw Liu Dalang coming over to help Tang An. The gentleness with which he treated Tang An was something every woman would envy.
Tang Yu had already secretly entrusted her heart to Liu Dalang. She even dreamed that the person Liu Dalang was going to marry was her. When she heard that Liu Dalang was coming, she was excited. But when she heard what Madam Wei said, her dream was shattered.
The Liu family would not enter her house, and she was not the one Liu Dalang wanted to marry.
Madam Wu frowned and held Tang Yu’s hand. “Yu, do you like Liu Dalang that much? I think Liu Erlang is not bad.”
“Mother, I like Liu Dalang. I’ve liked him for a long time. If I can’t marry Liu Dalang, I don’t want to get married.”
Tang Yu’s mind was filled with Liu Dalang’s gentleness towards Tang An. She wanted to replace her and be treated in such a manner by him. However, every time she spoke to Liu Dalang, his attitude was cold.
Liu Dalang, who was so devoted towards his fiancee, was even more attractive to her. Other than Liu Dalang, no other man could enter her eyes.
Tang Yu’s eyes were red. At the thought that Liu Dalang and Tang An were going to get married, she felt terrible. She couldn’t help but sob. “Mother, I am so upset. Why wasn’t I the one who got engaged to Liu Dalang?”
