The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 51 (Part 1)
Chapter 51: Climb the Bed (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Her older sister got married, Xiao Lang, and her older brother went to town to study together. She was the only one left at home. Shu Lan suddenly felt very deserted. When they were there, she thought they disturbed her sleep, and now no one was teasing her, but she couldn’t sleep.
That night, she tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep. She ran to the east wing with her pillow in her arms. She gently pushed the door, but the door was plugged in from the inside.
She suddenly remembered when she was a child. Her mother was still holding her to sleep. Occasionally when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would see her father lying on top of her mother. Both of them were very... excited. When she made a noise, her father would panic and run back to his quilt. In a daze, she heard her father and mother’s helpless laughter.
Although she didn’t quite understand what they were doing, Shu Lan knew her parents didn’t want to be disturbed at this time, so she lowered her head and went back to her room. She was rolling on the huge heated-brick bed for a long time, not knowing when she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, in a daze, she heard her mother’s rebuke.
Standing at the door of the house, Qin-shi glared at Xiao Lang with hatred that iron was not steel: “Why are you so ignorant? That is the former Grand Tutor. With his teaching, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to stand out in the future, and also win glory for your parents! It’s just that you didn’t want to learn before. Since you’ve all respected the teacher, why did you sneak back? What do you think the old man will think? Do you think this is child’s play? Needless to say, hurry back and apologize!”
Shu Maoting also persuaded him earnestly: “Ah Lang, it’s not that your uncle and aunt forced you to study, but this is the way the world is. Only by studying can you earn fame, become an official, and be looked up to. You are only 11 years old now, and you don’t study. Are you planning to stay at home all day long? I’d better listen to your uncle’s words, go back and apologize to your teacher, and study with peace of mind! If you’re embarrassed, your uncle will accompany you!”
Xiao Lang lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said, “Uncle and aunt, I really can’t study. It’s okay for you to let me read medical books and memorize those who are benevolent and moral. Why don’t you just hit me twice? I really have a headache! Yesterday, I agreed to an apprenticeship. I hoped the second brother could study hard with him. Second brother is so smart and willing to study, so he shouldn’t be stuffy at home without guidance.”
Qin-shi’s husband and wife’s expressions changed. Without Xiao Lang, their son might not be able to successfully respect the teacher just because of their son-in-law’s face. Looking at Xiao Lang’s dejected appearance, they couldn’t bear to continue scolding him for a while. After all, Xiao Lang had always been very sensible except for studying, and they rarely needed to worry about it.
With the last glimmer of hope, Shu Maoting persuaded him: “Since you don’t want to study, you can also learn martial arts. His old man has brought troops to fight...”
“Uncle, I don’t want to go to battle. I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back...” Xiao Lang interrupted him dully.
Qin-shi’s face changed suddenly. She was looking forward to Xiao Lang’s good deed, but if anyone let him go to the battlefield, she was the first to object. She hurriedly pulled Xiao Lang to her side, glared at her husband, and said distressingly to him: “If you don’t go then no one can make you go to that kind of place to struggle for a title for a future! Since you don’t want to, just stay at home obediently. It doesn’t look like you don’t have any money. In the future, you can buy dozens of acres of good land and be a landlord with peace of mind. Let’s not seek wealth and nobility!”
Xiao Lang glanced at Shu Maoting embarrassedly and said to her with a smile, “Aunt is still the best for me!”
Seeing his wife was so easily persuaded by Xiao Lang, Shu Maoting sighed deeply: “Whatever you want, I can’t control you!” Turning around and walking into the house, he said to himself, “I’ll go to town now. Ah Lang came back rashly, we have to say something no matter what.”
Xiao Lang didn’t have to go to town to study!
Shu Lan was very happy to hear this. So someone would play with her again...
Qin-shi was about to prepare breakfast. Xiao Lang went back to his room and looked at the door in front of him. Thinking he could sleep with the lazy girl in his arms at night, he wished it would get dark soon.
It was a pity the more you looked forward to the time, the result was just the opposite.
After finally staying up until it was finally dark, Xiao Lang ran to the river to take a quick bath, then got on the heated-brick bed and listened intently to the movement of the east wing. After hearing Qin-shi bolted the east wing door, he waited patiently for a while, making sure they would not come out again before tiptoeing down, moving to the inner room door, and pushing it gently.
The wooden door made a soft sound and opened as he wished. Xiao Lang smiled. He knew the lazy girl would never think of someone breaking in the door.
The sound of Quanquan flapping its wings came from the darkness, and the smile on Xiao Lang’s face froze. If the stinky bird dared to harm him, he would definitely send it into the fire pit!
Probably feeling the tyrannical aura emanating from his body, Quanquan turned its head, retracted it into its wings again, and then fell asleep quietly.
Xiao Lang glanced coldly in the direction of Quanquan, gently took off his shoes, lay down next to Shu Lan and half supported his arm to look at her.
It was the end of May now, the windows were wide open, and the cool summer breeze blew in, stroking a strand of hair beside her ear. Xiao Lang removed the dishonest strand of hair from Shu Lan’s face. He couldn’t help kissing her, and gently called out, “Ah Lan, wake up...”
