The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 62 (Part 2)
Chapter 62: Ah Lan’s Thoughts (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
“Okay, get up, people can’t come back to life, so why bother.” Shu Huai put away his sadness, waved at the two of them, glanced at the room at will, and continued, “Ah Zhan won the top scorer as the number one scholar, and good news is coming soon. He is now having various entertainments in the capital, and he will be on duty at the Hanlin Academy when he is done. There is no time to come back to pick you up. When I went to find him, he didn’t recognize me, alas! You two hurry to pack up and call Ah Wan’s couple to let me, a great-grandfather, see. We will leave for the capital in three days!”
Shu Maoting and his wife looked at each other and hesitated: “Is it too hasty?”
Shu Huai looked at him with heartache: “Our family doesn’t have a master now, how can it be if we don’t hurry back? Is there anything else here that you can’t let go of? Keep the house, sell the land, or rent it out, and everything else has them in the capital, so you don’t have to carry them. Ah Lan is not too young, bring her to the capital as soon as possible, teach her to learn the rules, and find a good family for her.”
When he first entered the house, he saw Shu Lan, who looked charming and cute but was a little dumbfounded. She didn’t know how to greet him when she saw him and ran out in the blink of an eye. Could it be that she was afraid of strangers? Her brother would definitely be promising in the future, and the identity of the person who came to ask for marriage would not be too low, so she couldn’t lose face of the Shu family.
He didn’t know that Shu Lan was frightened when she saw her father kneeling and slipped to next door to find Xiao Lang. Now the two of them were standing under the eaves, hearing the conversation in the house clearly.
“Ah Lan, if your parents go to the capital, will you go with them?” Xiao Lang held Shu Lan’s hand tightly and asked her softly. His deep eyes couldn’t show any emotion.
Shu Lan turned her head and thought about it. Her older brother said the capital was eight to nine days away from her home, which was very far away. He would live there in the future. If her father and mother also wanted to go, she would naturally go, then she nodded.
Xiao Lang’s eyes dimmed, and his hand unconsciously used force slightly: “But you will never see me again when you go to the capital.”
Shu Lan looked up at him in surprise: “Aren’t you going with us?”
Xiao Lang looked at her innocent face and shook his head. If Shu Lan really wanted to go, he would follow whatever she said. It was not convenient to live in Shu’s house, so he bought a house and watched her until he got her back, but now he just wanted to know in Shu Lan’s heart, which was more important, he or her parents, even though her answer wouldn’t change anything.
Shu Lan’s eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden: “Why don’t you go, I want you to come with us!” She couldn’t bear her parents and Xiao Lang. Couldn’t they just be together forever? Just like how Xiao Lang lived in her house before...
Xiao Lang patted her head and dragged her outside, saying as he walked: “Because my home is right here, look, this is the house I built for you, and when we get married, we will live here. Ah Lan, don’t go to the capital, stay. You can’t always stay with your parents, just like Sister Wan. Doesn’t she also stay with your brother-in-law? If you insist on going to the capital, then I can only stay here. I’m afraid we’ll never see each other again.” His voice was lonely and pitiful.
Shu Lan immediately jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly: “But I can’t bear you, I want to see you every day!”
Xiao Lang looked into the distance and saw there was no one on the street, so he picked her up and walked to his house. After closing the door, he put her on the wall, lowered his head to kiss her tears, and muttered: “Then let’s get married quickly. If you marry me, you don’t have to go to the capital.”
“Then what about my parents? When they go to the capital, I won’t be able to see them...” Shu Lan was very distressed, and tears could not stop.
Xiao Lang stopped kissing, pressed his forehead against hers, and looked into her eyes. His voice was a little helpless, but also a little sad: “Ah Lan, you have to choose one, either with me or with your parents.” It was not enough to be sad. He wanted her to choose him.
Shu Lan stared at Xiao Lang’s face in front of her without blinking. Was it uncomfortable not seeing her parents, or was it more uncomfortable not seeing him?
She remembered she lived in her sister’s house for more than a month, it seemed, she missed Xiao Lang more, right?
“Older brother Wolf, I choose you, I want to be with you.” Shu Lan reached out and hugged his waist, buried her head in his arms, and smelled his unique scent.
To her, the capital was a strange place and the old man was also a stranger. He also said that he wanted her to learn the rules and let her marry someone else, so how could it be done. She said she would marry Xiao Lang. Moreover, her mother and father went to the capital, and her older brother was with them, but if she left, Xiao Lang would be alone. As long as she thought of him being alone, she would remember the lonely day of Uncle Xiao’s burial when he knelt in front of the grave alone. That kind of him made her sad.
“Older brother Wolf, I’m going to tell my mother that I will marry you tomorrow! I won’t go to the capital, you don’t have to be afraid, I won’t leave you alone!” Shu Lan said it again as if afraid he wouldn’t believe it.
“Mm, I know. Ah Lan is so nice...” Xiao Lang hugged her tightly, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her in a low voice: “Silly girl, why are you crying, don’t worry, older brother will treat you well. I will be good to you for a lifetime. You can’t bear me alone and I can’t bear you either. We were born on the same day. We are destined to be together forever, and can’t escape even if you want to.” Not to mention the capital, even if she ran to the ends of the earth, he could chase her.
What he said later was too complicated, Shu Lan didn’t understand it very well. She didn’t have time to think about it, and she asked him nervously: “What if the old man doesn’t agree? Father seems to be afraid of him...”
Xiao Lang laughed. It was rare for her to think so much. He lowered his head, kissed her little face, and put her hand on his chest: “Don’t worry, your father will agree.” Just by the old man’s words of “learn the rules”, uncle and aunt would never agree. Of course, even if they agreed, he had a way to keep the lazy girl.
At the same time, Shu Maoting was discussing with Shu Huai: “Ah Lan is too simple to live in the capital, so let the two children get married in advance.” He couldn’t bear to disobey his grandfather’s wishes and let the old man over 70 continue to live alone, but he wouldn’t restrain his stupid daughter. Fortunately, Xiao Lang was mature and stable, and he would definitely take good care of Ah Lan for them.
Shu Huai didn’t care much about the two great-granddaughters, after all, they didn’t grow up by his side. One was married and the other was young and didn’t know the rules. Since Shu Lan already had a marriage contract, and then let her marry, he just needed to give more dowry, so there was no objection.
The two discussed it seriously again and set the wedding date in 5 days.
