Capítulo 10: Chapter 10 Jinx to Husband

"Smack!"

No sooner had Wang Xiaoshuai finished speaking than the old rogue slapped him hard across the face.

"You worthless thing, I knew you wouldn't be trouble-free," the old man scolded.

"Was everything I said last night just a waste of breath, huh? Are you only happy if you drive me to my grave?"

"I'll say it again, if Yufen isn't willing to marry you, you can't force her. So I advise you to get over it and marry Peilan into our Wang family, and have a good life with her!"

Repeated rejections again and again, despite Wang Xiaoshuai not wanting to anger the old rogue, couldn't help but make him feel a flare of anger.

Stiffening his neck, he said, "Grandpa, I know you want what's best for me, but my heart really can't fit anyone but Yufen. Even if I do marry Sister Peilan, she won't be happy!"

Wang Xiaoshuai was so adamant, willing to risk infuriating the old rogue, because he truly didn't want to miss out on Li Yufen.

Being a widow was hard, and even though Li Yufen had shown no intention of remarrying, who could tell what the future held?

He couldn't bear to imagine what it would be like if someone else actually won Li Yufen's heart one day.

But the thought of the woman he loved most beneath another man was enough to fill him with a desire to die.

"Shut your mouth!"

The old rogue was so furious that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

After coughing violently a few times, he said tremblingly, "I don't have many days left. My greatest wish now is to see you settle down with a wife and carry on the Wang family's line."

"If you keep setting your sights on Yufen, I... I'll die right before your eyes!"

Thump!

As the situation grew increasingly tense, Wang Xiaoshuai bent his knees and knelt down.

Staring at the old rogue with reddened eyes, he said, "Grandpa, do you know, from the very first time I saw Sister Yufen, I fell deeply in love with her."

"Back when Brother Dashan was still around, Sister Yufen had someone to take care of her. But now that Brother Dashan is gone, why can't I be the one to look after her?"

"You keep saying that Sister Yufen is unwilling to marry me, but I don't think that's true. Plus, she said a few days ago that she wanted to give me Brother Dashan's medical books, so I feel that she also has me in her heart."

"Grandpa! I absolutely won't let Yufen leave our Wang family. If Brother Dashan is gone, then let me be the pillar of the Wang family."

"I don't just want to master the medical skills of the Wang family, but also to marry Yufen and have children with her. I hope you will grant us this!"

After Wang Xiaoshuai finished speaking, he "bang, bang, bang" kowtowed three times heavily before the old rogue.

"You..."

The old rogue was nearly beside himself with anger, trembling as he raised his cane.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to strike down.

"Since you're so bent on sending your old man to his grave, I'll just have to let you have your way!"

Seeing he couldn't convince Wang Xiaoshuai, the old rogue threw down these words and charged toward the courtyard wall.

"Don't do it!"

Wang Xiaoshuai was startled, and scrambling to his feet, he wrapped his arms around the old rogue, crying out, "Grandpa, what are you doing!"

"I... Will it really not do if I marry Sister Peilan? Can't you just not die?"

"Don't you dislike Peilan? Once I, the troublesome old man, am gone, you can go force Yufen into it."

"Let go, let me die!" the old rogue said, trying to pry Wang Xiaoshuai's fingers off.

Seeing that the old rogue was dead set on him marrying Luo Peilan, Wang Xiaoshuai knew there was no turning back.

His heart aching, he drew a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Grandpa, don't be rash, I'll marry Sister Peilan so you can hold a great-grandson soon."

Seeing that Wang Xiaoshuai had finally given in, the old rogue finally relaxed.

Damn kid, the old man really had to use some tricks to deal with you...

With that thought, he straightened up and cleared his throat, then asked Wang Xiaoshuai in a low voice, "Xiaoshuai, are you really not the slightest bit interested in Peilan?"

"No, Sister Peilan is great. If I weren't so fond of Sister Yufen, and if Brother Dashan were still here, I would be very happy to marry Sister Peilan."

"Her qualities are, indeed, exceptional. Any man would like her!"

Wang Xiaoshuai replied honestly.

But what he never expected was that the old rogue's following words would leave him dumbfounded.

"That's right! That sounds like words my grandson would say. Let me tell you the truth, Peilan is also a person with hard luck. Her husband was frail from a young age, leaving her a young widow."

"But that's not her fault, and like I said last night, your horoscopes are in perfect harmony; with your constitutions, you could at least have many children and live a lush life!"

"As for Yufen's reluctance to remarry... In truth, she has her reasons. To put it plainly, she's a jinx to husband, ordinary people simply can't handle her."

"If she really married you, you'd follow in Dashan's footsteps, you could die at any moment, understand, you silly boy..."
