Capítulo 19: Chapter 19: Where's the Old Turtle?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Husband, you still have to focus on your studies. Since I'll be at home, no one will bully me."
"I know, I know!" Youngest Xu waved his hand. "Anyway, you must send me a letter!"
"…"
Wang begrudgingly watched Youngest Xu leave, carrying a thousand words in her heart that she could not utter.
Youngest Xu was similarly reluctant to leave. He had not spent much time with his sweet-smelling, delicate, pretty wife. This time, he absolutely must pass the exam.
...
In the Xu residence, after Mr. Xu got up, he first walked around in the yard. He felt that something was missing, but since his mind was still muddled, he could not pinpoint what was wrong.
That was, until Second Xu came out of the house and blankly asked, "Where is the old turtle?"
Hearing what his second son said, Mr. Xu remembered what was missing.
Yes, they had a tortoise god in their house yesterday. But now, where was said tortoise god?
"Woah, who dug this? It's such a huge hole!" Second Xu discovered the big hole at the foot of the wall when he went around in the yard. Judging from the wetness of the soil, this hole must have been dug last night.
"Father, could someone have come and stolen our old turtle last night?" Second Xu's eyes suddenly turned red. "Had I known, I would have killed that old turtle. At the very least, it could have helped nourish our bodies!"
"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!" Old Mr. Xu kicked him with his foot.
Second Xu jumped very far away, and straightening his neck, he retorted, "Father, you're being unreasonable!"
Just when the old Mr. Xu was about to search for his stick, he saw the old turtle's head pop out of the newly dug hole, followed by its whole body.
Second Xu, whose back was turned to the entrance of the cave, was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the old turtle.
Not only did Mr. Xu not sympathize with his son, but he also gloated, pointing his finger at Second Xu, and said, "Little rascal, if you don't listen to the words of the old man, suffering will follow."
While he was at it, he took the opportunity to tell off Second Xu again. "Talk bad things behind the tortoise god's back, and you'll only stumble to the ground. It's a small punishment and a big commandment. You better keep this in mind in the future!"
What could Second Xu say?
It was indeed he who said it. Could he just deny it?
"Father, has mother gotten up yet?" Eldest Xu's wife, Zhou, poked her head out of the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready. Should we get ready to eat when mother is up?"
"She's up, she's up!" Old Mr. Xu waved his hand. "Let's serve the food!"
"Sister-in-law, did eldest brother bring food with him? He's sending third brother to the city so early in the morning; it won't be good if he goes hungry!"
"He has already eaten. I've also prepared a flat cake for your brother."
"That's good!" Second Xu grinned again when he heard this.
Mr. Xu looked at the foolish appearance of his second son and said nothing. Although this son was a little silly, at least he still cared for his brother and was very concerned about family matters.
Mrs. Xu quickly came out of the house and did a simple wash up with the warm water Mr. Xu brought.
Then, the family prepared to have their meal.
Coincidentally, Youngest Xu's wife, Wang, also came back at that moment.
"Third sister-in-law, you came back just in time. I was just about to put the rice in the warm pot for you." Seeing Wang's return, Second Xu's wife, Li, hurriedly took out the food that had been put aside for Wang from the kitchen.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law. I'm sorry for troubling you!"
Wang was also a clever person. Before, she completely looked down at the Xu family. But yesterday, Youngest Xu came back, and with the series of lucky events happening in the Xu family, her mindset began to change a little.
Of course, the most important point was that she thought she might be pregnant.
