The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 59 (Part 1)
Chapter 59: Want the Young Lady to Be a Wife (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Xiao Lang couldn’t lift his spirits.
The lazy girl was not around. This time, it wasn’t because she ran away, but because he ate her. His uncle and aunt prevented him from talking to her and deliberately sent her to Sister Wan’s house.
Really, was he that unreliable? Since the lazy girl was destined to marry him, and he could wait for five or ten years, what was a year? As long as they clearly told him no, he wouldn’t do it again, but at least he could see the lazy girl every day!
If he had known this earlier, he would have held her in his arms and talked to her about anything yesterday. He shouldn’t have listened to her when she said she was tired, so he just let her fall asleep. He still had a lot of things to ask her...
“Ah Lang, let’s knock down your house first. Those bricks are all rotten and can’t be used. Let’s replace them with new ones.” Shu Maoting, dressed in coarse cloth, rolled up his sleeves as he walked out. Farmers usually have their own brothers to help build houses, and only some fine works would ask special masters to help.
Xiao Lang jumped up again. It was the house of him and the lazy girl in the future. He wanted to build three sturdy big houses by himself.
When Qin-shi came back, she saw the two of them busy together and showed a relieved smile. No matter what, her silly daughter would be gone for the rest of her life.
But she soon stopped smiling.
“Aunt, I really want to marry Ah Lan. Please marry her to me.” Zhu Yuanbao ran into the Shu’s yard out of breath and knelt down directly to Qin-shi who was sitting under the eaves washing clothes.
Qin-shi never expected Zhu Yuanbao would come to their house!
“You child, get up quickly, what’s it like to kneel there? Let’s talk in the house if you have something to say!” She couldn’t care to wipe her hands. She casually wiped them on the hem of her clothes and hurriedly pulled Zhu Yuanbao up. She was a little unhappy. He was 16 years old. How could he be so reckless? If he was seen, what would others think of her?
Only then did Zhu Yuanbao realize that his behavior was inappropriate and followed Qin-shi embarrassingly. Just as he was about to kneel, he was stopped by Qin-shi.
Qin-shi pressed him to sit on the chair and persuaded him earnestly: “Yuanbao, Aunt knows what you think about Ah Lan, but the two of you are not suitable. Ah Lan is too stupid. She can’t do those entertainment things. Marry her, she has to deal with relatives in your family, right? She should be filial to your father and cook soup with her own hands, right? But she doesn’t know how to...”
“Aunt, it’s okay for Ah Lan. I’ll take good care of her!” Zhu Yuanbao hurriedly said.
“Even if you can take good care of her and take care of everything for her, your relatives will not say anything on the surface, but they will laugh at Ah Lan secretly. Because of Ah Lan’s temperament, she doesn’t even know how to say a word when the servants cheat and bully her. Alas, I didn’t teach my daughter well. Yuanbao, go and marry a good and virtuous girl. Ah Lan is not worthy of you.”
Zhu Yuanbao heard Qin-shi really didn’t want to marry Ah Lan to him. Resisting the bitterness in his heart, he lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said: “Aunt, who is your good son-in-law for Ah Lan?”
Qin-shi knew if she didn’t make it clear today, Zhu Yuanbao probably wouldn’t give up, so she said, “That...”
“Ah Lan wants to marry me, don’t think about her anymore.” Xiao Lang opened the door and walked in with a cold face. He knew Zhu Yuanbao’s rush to Shu’s house would definitely not be a good thing, but he didn’t expect he would come to grab the marriage!
Shu Maoting followed Xiao Lang and cast a suspicious look at his wife.
Qin-shi shook her head at him, got up, and motioned for her husband to go out with her. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to leave this kind of matter to the children.
There were only two people glaring at each other in the room.
Zhu Yuanbao stood up when Xiao Lang said that. He looked at the boy who was three years younger than him but looked calmer than him. The other party’s eyes were cold and full of hostility toward him as if he coveted his treasure.
Was it Xiao Lang?
Yes, Xiao Lang had too many advantages compared to him, living in Shu’s house. It could be seen that he had no miscellaneous relatives, grew up with Ah Lan, and was deeply trusted and loved by the Shu family. And he was also outstanding. He dared to go to the mountains to fight wolves at a young age...
However, did he have to give up like this?
Zhu Yuanbao clenched his fists. Suddenly, he remembered Shu Lan’s hostility towards Xiao Lang that year, and couldn’t help but say to him: “Even if your uncle and aunt recognize you, Ah Lan doesn’t like you!”
“Who said Ah Lan doesn’t like me?” Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he didn’t bother to entangle with Zhu Yuanbao anymore, and said bluntly to him: “I advise you to go home early. Ah Lan is already mine and we will get married soon.”
There was a buzzing sound in his mind and the scene in front of him seemed to be blurred.
Zhu Yuanbao fell on the chair and his face which was still red after the long run turned pale instantly. He stared at Xiao Lang in disbelief as if to distinguish the truth from the false, but when he thought that Ah Lan, whom he wanted to take care of for a lifetime, was really ruined by this person, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and his anger was so extreme that he didn’t even think about it anymore. He raised his fist and smashed it directly at Xiao Lang: “You can’t insult Ah Lan like that!”
Xiao Lang didn’t blink. He reached out and twisted Zhu Yuanbao’s arm, pressed him tightly, and said coldly: “Letting you know because I just want you to give up sooner. If you dare to speak out about this matter, I will definitely break your arm. Hurry back to your house. Next time you dare to come again, I will not be so polite!” His five fingers suddenly exerted force, until Zhu Yuanbao’s joints made a toothache sound, then he threw his arms away violently.
Zhu Yuanbao slumped to the ground. There was only one thought in his mind. Ah Lan was really ruined by Xiao Lang...
In the haze, someone pulled him up and said something in his ear. When he regained consciousness, he was already sitting on the donkey cart with his fat old man sitting in front of him.
“Father, Ah Lan she...”
Zhu Yuanbao couldn’t speak anymore. He fell back on the cart, looked at the clear blue sky, and let the warm liquid slip from the corner of his eyes. It became cold when it reached the base of his ears. Afraid of being discovered by his father, he covered his face with his sleeves, but his chest was twitching. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t calm down.
