The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 69
Chapter 69: Yuanbao (Extra) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
The business of the Zhu family’s butcher shop was getting better and better, so Zhu Laicai took down the stall next door and asked his son to open another butcher shop there.
On this day, the winter wind was fierce, and there were very few people on the street. The owner of the shop opposite closed early and went home, making the bustling street look particularly depressed.
There was an uncontrollable cough from next door. Zhu Yuanbao put down the work in his hand and walked over quickly. He said to the old man whose face was flushed from coughing: “Father, go home to rest first. It’s enough for me to be here, don’t hold on.” His father started coughing two days ago. He insisted it would not be in the way, and he was getting more stubborn as he got older. He would ask the doctor to take a look later.
Zhu Laicai was really suffering from coughing, so he gave him a few instructions, closed the shop, and went home first.
Zhu Yuanbao watched his father’s fat back disappear into the corner and shook his head helplessly. He returned to his side, sat on the large wooden chair by the door, and looked boredly at the passersby who occasionally passed by. As he watched, sleepiness came over him, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he actually fell asleep.
He dreamed of the little girl again.
That day, when he was tied to the persimmon tree by his father, she emerged from the yard next door and stared at him stupidly. He was obviously trying to hurt her, but she talked to him seriously. Later she climbed over the wall and untied the rope for him and gave him two pieces of mung bean cake to eat. She would probably never know that she was the first little girl who was willing to get close to him, a very beautiful little girl.
She was injured and he caught the rabbit to avenge her. She cried in pain, so he went to the street and bought a parrot as a gift for her. He looked at her sweet smile and heard her affectionately calling him Brother Yuanbao. For the first time, he felt his heartbeat was out of control. He didn’t even dare to look at her again, so he ran away. During those few days playing around with her, he looked forward to the sun going down every day, and before going to bed, he looked forward to tomorrow. She would probably never know that those days were his happiest memories.
Later, she didn’t come to town for a long time. He couldn’t bear the pain of waiting every day without results so he rode a donkey to find her. Although he only stayed with her for less than an hour, he came back with a serious illness but he felt very happy.
When she was 11 years old, the two of them sat side by side on the wall. He wanted to tell her he liked her, but he couldn’t say it because of her mother’s accidental appearance, but what did it matter? When she was 13, he would beg his father to go to her house to propose marriage.
Two years was very long as he looked forward to her growing up day and night. But two years was also very short because he saw her almost every day in his dreams.
The day finally came when her mother came over and his father went to find out the news.
Yes, yes, just like in the dream, he stood nervously at the door, waiting for his father to come back and tell him the result.
Ah, his father was here. Zhu Yuanbao, who fell into the dream, seemed to have returned to that day, looking at his father expectantly.
“Yuanbao, the Shu family agreed. You just wait to get your wife!” His father said to him with a smile.
No, Zhu Yuanbao frowned instinctively. It didn’t seem to be like this... However, he was too happy. He didn’t want to wake up, so just let him dream for a while. He was so happy because Ah Lan was going to marry him as his wife!
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he invited her out, took her to enjoy the lanterns, and took her to eat wontons. When he sent her home, she tiptoed and kissed him. Her lips were soft. When she entered the house, he foolishly licked the place where she had just kissed him, and it seemed like there was a touch of sweetness...
The next year, her brother became the top scorer, and the Shu family was going to move to the capital. He was reluctant to let her go, so he went to beg her parents. Her parents were really good and even agreed to him.
On the wedding day, he wore a red wedding robe and rode a tall horse to pick her up... No, the sedan chair should not be parked there. It had to be carried to the dirt road to the east of the village, to his house, but the sedan chair did not move, so he jumped off the horse and shouted at the bearers. Finally, they heard his words and lifted the sedan chair again. He sat on the horse and couldn’t help but look back at the sedan chair. Although passers-by kept laughing at him, just laugh, Ah Lan was sitting inside, and he was happy.
When he got home, the sedan chair landed firmly on the ground. He nervously kicked the sedan door three times. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep inside. Her wedding dress was so beautiful. She must have embroidered it herself, then she must be very tired. He was very distressed and took her out of the sedan chair. No matter what others said, he couldn’t bear to wake her up now.
After seeing off all the guests, he ran back to the wedding room, only to see her lying lazily on the bed. Her red veil slipped down, revealing her delicate eyebrows, which were prettier than all the flowers he had ever seen.
He walked over gently and touched her small face with a trembling hand. Ah Lan, you are so beautiful...
“Mm, Ah Lan, from today onwards, you are my wife. Don’t worry, I will definitely treat you well.”
He was a little dizzy, probably because he drank too much wine just now, so he had to lie down beside her and put her in his arms, “Ah Lan, I want to sleep first. Don’t blame me. I’m really happy... The days are long, so I’ll just sleep with you tonight. I’m so happy to be able to hold you. Ah Lan, Ah Lan...”
