Tang An nodded. “Thank you, Auntie.”
Madam Wei smiled and turned to pull her son’s hand. “Dalang, you’re a man. You have to be close to your brother as well as your brother-in-law. Remember to take care of your wife.”
Liu Dalang said seriously, “Mother, I will be a responsible man and not disappoint you.”
He had always used the life of his parents as an example and guide of how he wanted to live.
He had never thought about becoming rich. An ordinary and harmonious life would be satisfactory. He was strong, could earn money, and support his family. He would not make Tang An suffer.
Madam Wei placed Liu Dalang’s hand on Tang An’s. “As husband and wife, you need to understand and tolerate each other. If Dalang bullies you, don’t keep it to yourself. I’m a sensible person. If you can’t discipline him, I will. Also, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve. When you’re too weak and kind, even if you don’t cause trouble, others will find trouble with you, understand?”
Tang An nodded.
Madam Wei knew that Tang An was too docile and would often be bullied.
Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang. “You too. Now that you are married, it’s only right for you to interfere with her life. Don’t back off.”
Mr. Liu was happy. He looked at Madam Wei with satisfaction and admiration. After being together for almost twenty years, he still felt that Madam Wei was very charming. She did not harm anyone, but she was not afraid of trouble either.
In the afternoon, still no one came.
However, under the witness of Third Madam Tang, the engagement was completed.
Tang An’s eyes turned red with unshed tears.
Tang Yuan pursed his lips and clenched his fists. He knew that no one came because his uncle and aunt were unhappy that the Liu family came over to his house instead of theirs.
In the end, they were all trying to take advantage of the fact that they lost their parents early.
Third Madam Tang smiled. “These two children’s parents died early, but now their deceased parents can rest assured. This marriage is good. After this, it will be time to choose a wedding date.”
Madam Wei smiled. “Third Aunt Tang, my idea is to set the wedding date on the sixth of June next year.”
Tang An lowered her head to conceal the joy on her face. Once the wedding date was set, her marriage with Liu Dalang would be settled.
Third Madam Tang smiled. “That’s good, Yuan. What do you think?”
Tang Yuan nodded. “I think it is fine. I agree.”
Tang An looked at Tang Yuan and was a little worried. She was very conflicted. She wanted to marry Liu Dalang as soon as possible, but she also wanted to marry him later.
Tang Yuan smiled and gave Tang An a reassuring look.
After dinner, the Liu family was about to leave.
Liu Sanniang glanced at Tang An. Tang An was delicate and pretty. After she got married, she would put on weight and become plump, especially after giving birth.
However, this time when she read Tang An’s face, she found something wrong. Liu Sanniang took a closer look and her heart tightened.
Evil was about to invade and take her life.
If Tang An was gone, Liu Dalang would be heartbroken.
In the previous life, Liu Dalang had a wonderful life with Tang An. She passed away before him, and Liu Dalang left a grave next to hers just so they could be buried together after his death.
If they didn’t have deep feelings for each other, why would they live and die together?
Tang An realized that Liu Sanniang was looking at her with a complicated expression. She was stunned. “Sanniang, what’s wrong? Do you…”
‘Not like me?’
Tang An had always felt inferior. She liked Madam Wei and Liu Dalang. She liked the Liu family and wanted to become one of them.
Liu Sanniang was Liu Dalang’s sister. She also cared a lot about Liu Sanniang’s opinion of her. She hoped that the entire Liu family would like her and give her their blessings.
Liu Sanniang smiled. “I can give you support too. Don’t hesitate to find me when you need help, ok?”
Tang An nodded. “I will. Thank you, Sanniang.”
Liu Sanniang smiled. After eating, Tang Yuan sent them off.
After they reached the entrance of the village, Madam Wei asked him to go back.
Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and turned back. Tang Yuan looked at her in confusion. “Sister Sanniang, what’s wrong?”
Liu Sanniang said seriously, “Tang Yuan, if anything happens to your sister, you must tell us, okay?”
Tang Yuan nodded. “Okay.”
Although he did not know what would happen to his sister, he felt very warm when he heard this from Liu Sanniang.
Tang Yuan was happy. His sister would definitely be very happy to marry into such a family.
Liu Sanniang instructed him seriously before leaving.
Madam Wei and the others were waiting for her. When Liu Sanniang caught up with them, Madam Wei asked. “What did you say to Tang Yuan just now?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Nothing. I just told him that with Eldest Brother around, he will protect the two of them.”
Madam Wei nodded with a smile.
Mr. Liu teased. “Now Dalang’s marriage is settled, I wonder what kind of woman Erlang will marry.”
Liu Erlang immediately felt a little excited. “Since Mother let Eldest Brother choose, Mother will also let me choose, right?”
He was really worried that Madam Wei would find someone like Tang An for him without his consent.
That would really kill him.
Madam Wei smiled. “Alright, I’ll let you choose. Have you never looked at yourself in the mirror? What makes you think you have many choices?”
Liu Erlang held Madam Wei’s arm and said with a foolish smile, “I want to choose someone like Mother. Otherwise, I won’t agree.”
Madam Wei was naturally delighted to hear that. Liu Erlang was her son. How could she not know what he was thinking? Liu Dalang only had eyes for Tang An, but the way Liu Erlang looked at Tang An was filled with disdain.
Liu Erlang didn’t like Tang An’s skinny figure, but Liu Dalang liked her.
Liu Dalang looked at Liu Sanniang. He felt that Liu Sanniang must have seen something, but she did not say anything, so he did not ask.
When they got home, the day went on as usual.
At night, a figure quietly went out.
It was none other than Liu Dalang. He was still worried and went to Tang Village. He gently climbed into the courtyard and knocked at the door. Worried that he would scare Tang An, he lowered his voice. “An, it’s me.”
Hearing Liu Dalang’s voice, Tang An opened the door. She was a little puzzled. “Dalang, what are you doing here?”
The fact that Liu Dalang sneaked into her house in the middle of the night made Tang An feel a little uneasy.
Liu Dalang took out a talisman. “This is a safety talisman. I’m worried about you. Take it. Remember, you have to take it along wherever you go, understand?”
