Chapitre 31: Future Sister-in-law
Éditeur: Henyee Translations
This was her brother's future wife. Although there was an unexpected episode in their blind date, the two of them still got to know each other.
Seeing that the person who came in was a woman, Liu Erlang quietly retreated to Liu Dalang's room. It was not appropriate to stay with an unmarried woman.
Besides, Liu Erlang didn't like girls who were so thin and tall…
Tang An's younger brother was called Tang Yuan. He was also very thin and weak, and had probably just fainted on the street.
From the looks of it, he was malnourished. Liu Sanniang fell into deep thought. In her previous life, she only remembered that after the blind date, her eldest brother agreed to the marriage.
Later, his eldest brother opened a small restaurant and led a good life.
Actually, Liu Sanniang had only seen Tang Yuan a few times. She knew that Tang An's parents had passed away, so she relied on her uncles and aunts.
After drinking the syrup, Tang Yuan gradually woke up. He looked at the unfamiliar place in confusion and sat up in shock. "Where… where is this? Where's my sister?"
Tang Yuan was very anxious. Today was his sister's big day. He didn't want to ruin it.
He was about to get off the bed when Liu Dalang stopped him. "Your sister is outside. Don't be afraid."
Tang Yuan looked at Liu Dalang and was frightened a little more. Tears immediately welled up in his eyes. "Let go of me. My sister has something urgent to attend to."
Liu Dalang frowned. He was normally a calm person, but when he frowned, he looked a little fierce. He said, "Is there anything more urgent than your life?"
Tang Yuan cried. He wanted to push Liu Dalang away, but was scared of him. "You know nothing."
This house was much better than his small house. The bedding was all clean. One could tell at a glance that this family was well-off. How could they understand poor people?
Knowing that he had ruined his sister's marriage, Tang Yuan sobbed and tears rolled down his face.
Liu Dalang frowned. "Why are you crying? Men shed blood, not tears."
Tang An was also anxious in the courtyard. She wanted to go in but felt that it was inappropriate.
Liu Sanniang smiled at Tang An. "Sister, come in."
Liu Sanniang entered the house. Tang An heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself that Liu Sanniang was really a good person. As long as she wasn't the only girl in the room, people wouldn't gossip about it.
Tang An quickly entered the house, following the girl. When Tang Yuan saw her, he wiped his tears and said angrily, "I told you to leave me behind, but you didn't listen. Now it's all too late. Boohoo."
Tang Yuan was ten years old, and Tang An was fifteen years old, one year older than Liu Sanniang. Tang Yuan's mother died from hemorrhage after childbirth. Since she was five years old, she had been taking care of her younger brother.
After her father died five years ago, Tang An and Tang Yuan's lives became even more difficult.
Tang An was already at the age of marriage. Their uncle and aunt were black-hearted and wanted to marry Tang An to a man in his thirties for five taels.
However, there was an old lady in the Tang family who used to be close to Tang An's mother. She couldn't bear to see Tang An end up marrying a man in his thirties, so she asked around for a good match for Tang An and finally found one.
Tang Yuan knew that this was a rare opportunity. If his sister missed it, her life would be ruined.
That was why the more he thought about it, the sadder he became.
Tang An's eyes turned red as well.
Liu Dalang pulled Liu Erlang and left silently.
Liu Sanniang sat down on the bed and touched Tang An's head. "Your sister dotes on you a lot. Why are you so angry with her?"
Tang Yuan's mother died after giving birth to him, so Tang An had always taken on the role of a mother.
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment when his head was suddenly touched. He looked at Liu Sanniang with tears in his eyes.
Tang An was also stunned. Why was this girl so gentle with her brother?
Tang Yuan wiped his tears with his hand, afraid that he would dirty the clean blanket he was sitting on.
Tang An pursed his lips and said softly, "Thank you."
Although she missed the blind date, she did not regret it at all. Tang Yuan was her younger brother. How could she leave her younger brother when he was in a faint?
She was thin and weak, and didn't look good either. It was hard to say if the blind date could have succeeded, but if she left her brother on the street, he'd very likely die.
Tang An pulled Tang Yuan into her arms and gently rubbed his back. "Yuan, it's alright. Don't blame yourself."
It didn't matter if she missed it. Perhaps this was her fate.
Tang Yuan cried softly.
Liu Sanniang handed her a handkerchief. Looking at the clean handkerchief, Tang An felt a little embarrassed and envious.
Liu Sanniang said, "Take it. Use it and return it to me next time."
Tang An took the handkerchief and was very touched.
Then Liu Sanniang left.
In the courtyard.
When Liu Dalang saw Liu Sanniang come out, he explained. "Sanniang, this was an accident."
Initially, he left home for the blind date in a happy mood, but in the end, his date turned out to be a woman who already had a child. Liu Dalang left from there in embarrassment and anger. Instead of going back home, he went to a tavern to drink.
However, on the way, he met Tang An and her brother. Tang Yuan fainted, and Tang An asked for help, but no one was willing to offer a hand. Liu Dalang felt bad for them and carried Tang Yuan home.
Tang An refused to go to the hospital and said that her brother would be fine after resting for a while.
Liu Dalang had no choice but to bring her brother home. Unexpectedly, Liu Sanniang and Liu Erlang were both at home.
He naturally had to explain.
Liu Erlang smiled to show that he understood. "First Brother, we won't misunderstand, but…"
The two siblings looked very poor. What if Tang An took a fancy to Liu Dalang and wanted to marry him?
If not for the fact that Tang An sounded like a woman, Liu Erlang would not have thought that she was a woman.
She was too thin and weak.
Liu Sanniang smiled. "Second Brother, you're overthinking it. I think these two siblings are very good. They look like they have something urgent to attend to. But for her younger brother, she gave it up. Isn't she a good girl?"
Liu Sanniang understood why Liu Erlang didn't like Tang An.
After all, her future second sister-in-law was the voluptuous type and had a fiery temper.
Liu Dalang nodded absent-mindedly.
He glanced at the house. For some reason, he felt like he was a little involved in something.
At the thought of Tang An crying, he wanted to protect her.
This feeling was very strange. He did not dare to say it out loud and was afraid that his siblings would see through him.
Before long, Tang An and Tang Yuan came out of the house.
Tang An thanked them gratefully. "Thank you. I'm sorry to disturb you. My brother has recovered. We'll leave now."
