《My Clingy Wife》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan was a lotus named Qing Lian and was raised in a Taoist temple. Because she was influenced by the incense of the Taoist sect, she could finally transform into a human after cultivating for a thousand years. However, when she was transforming, she encountered heavenly lightning and was struck by it. If it was not for the critical moment, she would not have torn open the space-time rift and fled, or she would have been reduced to ashes. Due to the urgency of the situation, Qing Lian did not notice that her current surroundings were poverty-stricken and the various places were still developing in the 1950s. She could not care less about that. When Qing Lian saw a little girl hanging herself from a beam, she took advantage of the fact that the body was still warm and no one had found out. She jumped into the body and took over as Yang Cailan. Due to her family being poor and she was a girl, Yang Cailan was not favored at home at all. She ate the least food and did the most work. Although Qing Lian¡¯s true form was a fairy, now that she had a human body, she still had to eat. She wanted to try her luck in the river and catch a small fish to satisfy her craving. In the end, when she came into contact with the river water, she actually felt like she had turned into a green lotus. Her body became light and she directly fell into the water. Just as Qing Lian was about to lose her human form and turn back into a green lotus, she saw a dazzling golden light in her daze. It was especially warm, and it was very similar to the spiritual power that her masters had given her a thousand years ago. In an instant, she knew that she would not die. As long as she obtained this ball of light, it would be the spiritual power she needed the most. Qing Lian¡¯s survival instinct made her hold the golden light in front of her with both hands, and she opened her mouth to bite it. Every time the old Taoist priest fed her spiritual power, he would wrap it up and let her swallow it. That was why her impression of spiritual energy was that she had to eat it. This so-called golden light was Liu Baishan. He had been trying his best to get her out of the water, but he did not expect a pair of arms to wrap around his neck. Before he could react, his lips were blocked, and was even sucking the air from his mouth! He had never been treated like this in his twenty-five years of life. He immediately froze. He did not know how to react at all. If he hadn¡¯t felt that the breath in his mouth had been sucked away, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have woken up. The person who was as heavy as a thousand gold just now floated up to the surface of the water with him. ¡°Oh no! Isn¡¯t that Lan? Could it be that she couldn¡¯t stand the death of her fianc¨¦ and decided to jump into the river to die for love? She¡¯s so young, yet she can¡¯t take things too hard?¡± Someone recognized Yang Cailan and made a bold guess. The young people on the shore stretched their necks to look into the water. The river was not too wide, about ten meters wide. Even though there was a distance, those with good eyesight could still see clearly. ¡°Die for love? Would she hug and kiss a man when she died for love? Tsk¡­¡± A man retorted with an ambiguous expression. ¡°Why are they kissing in broad daylight? Such a shameless girl¡­¡± Some sharp-eyed people saw Yang Cailan hugging Liu Baishan and kissing him, and they immediately exclaimed. If there were still people who had not seen it clearly just now, they would stretch their necks to take a look. ¡°Wow, I thought it was suicide, but it turns out to be seeking a man in the water! Young people these days are dauntless¡­¡± ¡­ The group of people on the shore began to chitter-chatter loudly. In the evening, the busy farming season in the village had ended. Men, women, and children usually had nothing new to talk about. The big news in front of them had become explosive. Yang Cailan heard their discussion and instinctively wanted to retort, ¡®Who found a man? I¡¯m saving his life!¡¯ Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t have the strength to retaliate. She was counting on the golden light in front of her to extend her life. She still wanted to continue absorbing the energy. It was great to have spiritual power. She did not have to worry about becoming a lotus flower again and not being able to move. She had finally managed to take advantage of heaven¡¯s loophole. She did not want her soul to be destroyed. Just as Yang Cailan was about to absorb more golden light, she felt herself being pulled down and pushed away. She felt her feet digging into the mud again. ¡°Oh my, hurry up and save them. Why did they sink to the bottom again? Young man, pull them up now!¡± There were sharp-eyed old women on the shore who shouted at Liu Baishan one by one. They saw him floating on the water and Yang Cailan sinking again. No matter what, they could not just watch people sink. This series of twists and turns scared everyone so much that their little hearts throbbed. Liu Baishan had no choice but to dive again. Yang Cailan saw the golden light approaching her again. This time, she hugged the golden light tightly and kissed his lips even more firmly, refusing to let go. Otherwise, she would sink bit by bit like before and become a dead green lotus. The hearts of the people on the shore rose and fell at the sight. If Liu Baishan did not kiss Yan Cailan, she would sink to the bottom. If he kissed her, she would float up. The people around found the scene infuriating. It was enviable to say that Liu Baishan was a lucky guy. The most important thing was that everyone had clearly seen that the woman was Yang Cailan. She was the most beautiful girl in their village, but she went and kissed a fearsome man.

Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan carried Yang Cailan up and out of the water completely. Only then, she had woken up a little. Of course, she also realized that she was not consuming spiritual energy but a man. ¡°My poor daughter! Why are you so stubborn?¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s mother had betrothed her to a dying man to help her son get married. It could not be helped. After all, the family gave a lot of betrothal gifts. However, what she did not expect was that the man could not hold on and died right after the engagement. Now, the man¡¯s family was clamoring for a refund or for her to be sent over to be a widow. Yang Cailan was only eighteen years old. If she became a widow at such a young age, her future would be ruined. Even if the family did not treat their daughter, Yang Cailan, as a human, they still had to protect their faces. Otherwise, who knew how the villagers would laugh at the Yang family. However, the matter was not over yet. Not long after, Yang Cailan¡¯s mother found an old man for Yang Cailan to be his mistress. The other party gave her a lot of money. Yang Cailan¡¯s mother was crying now because she was afraid that she would lose the money. The money that could get her son a good wife! However, no one knew that the real Yang Cailan had hanged herself when she found out that her family had forced her to marry a man who was about to die. The only one alive now was the fairy, Qing Lian. ¡°I¡¯ll beat you to death. How are you going to get married if your innocence is ruined? This is so embarrassing!¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s mother, Bai Hua, shouted as she patted the dazed Yang Cailan. The surrounding people were all shocked. They had never seen such a vicious mother. Everyone could understand the situation just now, but Bai Hua said that Yang Cailan¡¯s innocence had been ruined. It was obvious that she was trying to scam Liu Baishan. ¡°Yang Laoda, is your wife that inhuman? If anything happens to Yang Cailan, I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to¡­¡± said the village party secretary. He was walking over with the tobacco pipe in his hand aggressively as he kicked the man who had his head shrunk and his hands hidden in his sleeves. No one dared to step forward to stop the fight. The old village party secretary was the most influential person in the village. ¡°How did a good-for-nothing like you exist in our Yellow River Village? This woman is so spoiled that she dares to hit someone!¡± If it wasn¡¯t for his uncle who came and shouted, the village party secretary would have kicked Yang Laoda again. The village party secretary had never seen such a useless man who dared not say a word at home and let his wife stand up for him. It would have been fine if his wife was a good one, but¡­ ¡°I know I was wrong. I had no choice!¡± Yang Laoda was very submissive. The village party secretary, who had just pulled out the pipe pole and was about to put on the tobacco, was so angry that he kicked Yang Laoda twice again. ¡®What a useless man. It angers me even just by looking at him.¡¯ ¡°Isn¡¯t it enough that you sold Lan to someone once? Now, you want to sell her for the second time? Are you out of your mind? Don¡¯t you feel guilty about it? Are you trying to kill her?¡± The village party secretary did not kick Yang Laoda this time. Instead, he took the pipe pole and knocked Yang Laoda¡¯s head with the pipe pot. Yang Cailan¡¯s mother, Bai Hua, was a fierce and fearless person, but she did not dare to make a sound when she saw the village party secretary. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to. Let¡¯s have a look at Lan!¡± Yang Laoda held his head and ran around. It was embarrassing for a man in his forties to be beaten up. The village party secretary walked to Liu Baishan with the tobacco pipe in his hand. Liu Baishan had placed Yang Cailan on the big stone slab by the river. Liu Baishan stood at the side and wrung the water off his body, ready to leave. However, before Liu Baishan could make one step forward, an old woman lay down in front of him and threw a tantrum at him. ¡°You¡¯re not going anywhere. You ruined my daughter¡¯s innocence. You have to take responsibility! Otherwise, I¡¯ll sue you for taking liberties of women!¡± Bai Hua pointed at Liu Baishan and shouted. Since so many people had seen him kiss Yang Cailan, her new marriage arrangement would definitely not work out. Although Yang Cailan¡¯s fiance was old, he did not lack a wife to marry with. No one would want to marry Yang Cailan after this. So Bai Hua thought to trap Liu Baishan and make him pay. If Yang Cailan had not been holding onto his clothes, Liu Baishan would have left long ago. He looked at the woman on the ground and then at Yang Cailan, who was still clinging to him. He was a little annoyed at saving Yang Cailan. ¡°I was saving her!¡± Liu Baishan said deeply with his voice. Yang Cailan overheard that and peeked at Liu Baishan with her eyes narrowed. Yang Cailan thought, ¡®This man looks quite burly. He had the potential to become a general. But the scar on his face was a little scary and it looks like it split his face in half. Lucky for him, I don¡¯t mind that. Once I stabilized my soul in this body, everything would be fine. Just when I was wondering how I should build a rapport with this walking spiritual energy container, my ¡°mother¡± gave me an idea. If I married Liu Baishan, I would be able to consume spiritual energy whenever I want. At my current state, I had to get married anyway, no matter what.¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I don¡¯t care. You kissed my daughter, so you have to take responsibility. I won¡¯t ask for more than £¤100 and I won¡¯t hold it against you for ruining my daughter¡¯s innocence! Otherwise, hehe¡­¡± said Bai Hua as she straightened her neck and refused to give up. After Bai Hua said that, everyone gasped. £¤100 was the first thing she asked for. To the villagers, £¤100 was enough to build a decent house! Liu Baishan was also angry. He felt that he had been blackmailed, but the woman in his arms was holding him so tightly that he could not let go. Just as he was about to throw her out, Yang Cailan said in a voice that only Liu Baishan could hear, ¡°Save me, I don¡¯t want to die! I won¡¯t let you save me for nothing. I¡¯ll definitely repay you!¡± Yang Cailan was referring to the scar on his face, while Liu Baishan was thinking that this person was really going to marry him. Just as he was about to criticize Yang Cailan¡¯s methods, the village party secretary spoke to Liu Baishan, ¡°Are you from around here?¡± Liu Baishan nodded. Seeing Liu Baishan nod, the old village party secretary¡¯s eyes lit up, and asked anxiously, ¡°Which village are you from?¡± Liu Baishan did not hide anything and answered honestly, ¡°I¡¯m from Tranquil Village!¡± The Tranquil Village was just upstream of Yellow River Village. It was also close to Yellow River Village. If not for that, he really would not have encountered such a thing today. The old village chief¡¯s expression became even more anxious. He asked, ¡°Who are your family?¡± He glanced at Yang Cailan, who was pulling Liu Baishan¡¯s clothes into a long strip, and had an idea. ¡°My father is Liu Dazhuang!¡± Liu Baishan did not know what the village chief meant, but he could not leave abruptly. He still had to be polite. ¡°Ah, I know your father. Look at Lan. She won¡¯t let go, and we can¡¯t let her lie down like this. Help us send her home. I¡¯ll get someone to inform your family, okay?¡± The village chief did not have any other thoughts. He just did not want Lan to be sold again. It was a waste for the Yang family to have such a good little girl. ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate, right? She¡¯s already been saved. You can just find someone to carry her back!¡± Liu Baishan had already expelled the water in Yang Cailan just now. Moreover, she had spoken just now. She was awake and was pretending to be unconscious. If Liu Baishan carried her back, he could not get out of this mess entirely. ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate about it? You should help her until the end! You just saw that if you leave like this, her parents will turn her around and sell her¡­Besides, you can¡¯t leave!¡± As the village party secretary said that, he stared at Yang Cailan¡¯s hand that was holding onto Liu Baishan¡¯s clothes. In fact, it was not that Yang Cailan did not want to wake up, but that she had not thought it through. She could not bear to part with the walking nourishment. After coming here for so long, this was the first time she had come across something that could replenish her body. If she did not, she would not be able to avoid the heavenly tribulation and would return to her original form. Moreover, she had just realized that as long as she was in this man¡¯s arms, she would not have the tendency to turn into a lotus. It proved that Liu Baishan was a special existence. Most importantly, the original Yang Cailan had a miserable life. What was even worse was that Qing Lian found that Yang Cailan could not break free from the control of her parents. Moreover, Qing Lian had seen Yang Cailan¡¯s soul and promised to take good care of her brother and not marry the man arranged by her mother. ¡°Ahem¡­ Old Mr. Secretary, he just kissed me and touched me. How can I marry someone else¡­¡± After opening her eyes and saying this, Yang Cailan fainted again. She was afraid that Liu Baishan would not agree to save her, so she decided to go all out. She thought that as long as she got out of the Yang family¡¯s control, she would compensate him. Qing Lian felt that she only dared to say such a shameless thing. If she said anything more, she would really lose her face. This was also the first time she had done such an immoral thing. Thinking about the teachings of her teachers, her face hurt. The noisy crowd instantly quieted down and looked at Liu Baishan. Although Liu Baishan looked scary, he was still stronger than Old Mr. Zao. Everyone lived in the same village, so everyone was familiar with Old Mr. Zao. Old Mr. Zao may be living a comfortable life, but he had the tendency to abuse people! He still had a son and daughter-in-law at home. Without a doubt, Yang Cailan¡¯s life in Old Mr. Zao¡¯s home would be unfortunate. It seemed that Lan was not stupid and knew how to save herself. On the other hand, no one was able to tell what Liu Baishan was thinking. ¡®What was there to think?¡¯ Liu Baishan gritted his teeth in anger! ¡®I should not have saved this woman.¡¯ ¡°Are you married yet?¡± The village party secretary knew what Liu Dazhuang¡¯s family was like, but he could not remember that Liu Baishan was the child of Liu Dazhuang¡¯s family. ¡°No, I¡¯m not!¡± Liu Baishan answered as he gritted his teeth. His family had asked him to come home and look for a partner, but this had happened before it even started.

Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What do you think of Lan¡¯s appearance?¡± The village party secretary continued to ask. Liu Baishan glanced at Yang Cailan. He thought, ¡®This woman is certainly pretty. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be that many murderous looks staring at me? Regardless of Yang Cailan¡¯s family background, she was still a pretty famous village beauty.¡¯ ¡°She looks good!¡± Liu Baishan pursed his lips and said truthfully. ¡°Would you marry Lan?¡± The village party secretary felt that this matter was acceptable and could be considered to be able to explain to others. ¡°No! Lan had promised to others! I¡¯d accept the money! Even if she dies, she¡¯ll die in her husband¡¯s house.¡± said Bai Hua. She could not allow anything bad to happen to Yang Cailan¡¯s marriage. She was waiting for the money to help her son marry a wife and treat his illness. She could not possibly let Yang Cailan marry someone else. Bai Hua deemed Liu Baishan to be a poor fellow based on his appearance. ¡°When a man is talking, you women should keep your mouth shut. Yang Laoda, are you a dummy? Control your wife!¡± said the village party secretary as he kicked Yang Laoda again. Yang Laoda¡¯s body was covered in yellow soil and one could not bear to look at him. ¡°Would you keep it down, woman?!¡± Yang Laoda said hoarsely. He tried to pull his wife away, but she would not move an inch. His wife, Bai Hua, was the head of the family. ¡°Yang Laoda, I¡¯m telling you, we can¡¯t let this happen. Unless he can afford £¤200 as a betrothal gift, I won¡¯t agree,¡± said Bai Hua as she stretched out two fingers. The surrounding people gasped. They all thought that the Yang family was too ruthless. They actually dared to ask for £¤200! It was £¤100 as an apology earlier, and now it was £¤200 as a betrothal gift! No matter how good-looking Yang Cailan was, no one could afford to spend so much money on her. Last year, each person in the village only received about £¤50, and now the Yang family was asking for £¤200. It was equal to robbing Liu Baishan! They were asking for the money as if Liu Baishan did not need the money for a living. It was no wonder that so many young men in the village had failed to propose marriage. It seemed that the families were planning to sell their daughter. ¡°Cough! Cough! Mother, I won¡¯t agree with that! I¡¯ve already recovered!¡± The crowd parted, and a young man carrying Bai Hua¡¯s favored child on his back came over. That favored child was the eldest of the Yang family¡¯s children, and also the person Bai Hua insisted on saving even if she had to sell her daughter. ¡°My son, why are you here? This has nothing to do with you. Your body can¡¯t stand the wind! Hurry up and go back! You don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± said Bai Hua. She got up from the ground and rushed over to stop her son from getting off the ground. ¡°Mother, you¡¯ve already sold Lan once. Don¡¯t do it again, okay?¡± Yang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, could not take it anymore. Ever since he fell sick, his mother wanted to sell all the girls in the family. The Yang family¡¯s second child had been a child bride when she was ten years old. The third child had also been sent away. Now, there was only one daughter left. If it was not for the fact that she had to share the housework at home, she would have been sent away long ago. Yang Ping always wondered if his family sold his sisters away just to treat his illness. ¡°Yang Ping, what are you doing? Men have a reputation to keep, you can¡¯t kneel down like a slave! Every woman will have to marry someone someday? It also happened to me when I married the Yang family when I was in my teens and gave birth to you! Lan was already eighteen years old. She should have gotten married a long time ago!¡± Bai Hua¡¯s heart ached when she saw her son kneel down. Yang Ping only felt tired. He really wanted to jump into the river and die, but he realized that he was too weak. He did not even dare to jump into the river. This kind of thing happened in many villages. The children of poor families were married early. However, they were married off as a child bride and were not even adults. They married for the sake of reputation. ¡°Mother, I won¡¯t recover, forget it! Don¡¯t you know what kind of life your other daughters who married are now? Don¡¯t marry off Lan¡­¡± Yang Ping knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably. He regretted that he did not die and he did not dare to die. ¡°Which woman doesn¡¯t live like this? It¡¯s their bad luck to marry a bad man! Who could they blame?¡± Bai Hua said confidently. If Yang Cailan was not pretending to be unconscious, she would have beaten Bai Hua up! ¡°She¡¯s mine for only £¤200, right?¡± Suddenly, a deep voice rang out amidst the crying and cursing. ¡°Ah?¡± Bai Hua had not recovered from her son¡¯s anger. ¡°You would really pay for that?¡± ¡°Just say yes or no!¡± Liu Baishan thought that it was a good idea to marry Yang Cailan. Since it was already like that, he would marry her. From the village party secretary¡¯s introduction, it could be seen that Yang Cailan was also a person who lived a good life. ¡°That won¡¯t do. You have to pay £¤300 and Lan will be your wife!¡± Bai Hua blinked and immediately raised the price. Everyone sighed, ¡®What did the Yang family do in their previous life to get such a wife? If Lan was really married to someone for £¤300, then she would have nothing to do with this family. After all, what they were doing was the same as selling their daughter away.

Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Old Mr. Secretary, although this kind of thing is not glorious, I am not a fool. I can afford it, but this matter cannot be said verbally. We have signed an agreement on this. In the future, this woman has nothing to do with the Yang family.¡± said Liu Baishan. Although it would be bad for a man to find a wife without the help of her family, it was also better not to have such a family either. Liu Baishan could feel that his clothes were about to be torn. The villagers were just watching the show. No one thought of carrying the woman back to change her clothes. It was obvious that the woman did not live well in the village. After all, if her family did not care, outsiders would not care either. ¡°You mean what you say?¡± Bai Hua looked at Liu Baishan excitedly. ¡°Take it or leave it!¡± said Liu Baishan as he pretended to leave. ¡°Boy, come to my house and have some tea. Lan also needs to change her clothes,¡± The village party secretary held his arm and said enthusiastically. Liu Baishan also felt a little cold and nodded. ¡°I agree to that. But, why did you let him go to your house?¡± Bai Hua thought that the old village party secretary wanted Liu Baishan to leave. She reached out her hands and wrapped around Liu Baishan¡¯s leg to stop him from leaving. ¡°Stop embarrassing me. Yang Laoda, control your wife this instance!¡± said the old village part secretary furiously. He thought, ¡®That father of Yang Cailan was a good-for-nothing.¡¯ Yang Laoda saw how angry the old village party secretary was. He did not dare to stay still, but it was also strenuous. Liu Baishan did not want to continue the stalemate. He said, ¡°As long as you sign the agreement, I will take this woman as my wife!¡± Yang Cailan felt a little depressed. She felt like a piece of cargo, but since she could leave the Yang family, she could not care less about these things. When she was completely rid of the aftereffects, she would repay this man well. The woman, who was still stiff when Liu Baishan held her just now, softened in his arms. If Liu Baishan could not feel the change, he would be a fool. However, he did not think too much about it. He just thought that she was scared by the water. ¡°Sign it! Let¡¯s sign it!¡± said Bai Hua. Her mind was filled with the thought of £¤300. Although that old man had promised Bai Hua £¤200, he hadn¡¯t given it to her yet. ¡°Mother, no! You can¡¯t destroy Lan¡¯s future!¡± Yang Ping said weakly. He crawled on the ground and tried to stop his mother. ¡°Yang Ping, Liu Baishan is from the Liu family of Tranquil Village. Tranquil Village is richer than our village. Lan is better off than the old man your mother has taken a fancy to!¡± Some random woman in the village still understood what was going on. She saw through the old village chief¡¯s intentions and tried to persuade Yang Ping. ¡°I understand, but Lan was bought with money. When she reaches her in-laws¡¯ house, how can she have a good expression?¡± said Yang Ping. His already pale face turned even paler. ¡°Then what can you do? Your mother did it for the sake of getting you a wife and treating your illness. When you recover, you can still help your younger sisters!¡± said the woman. She was also a middle-aged woman with a few children at home. She naturally knew the hardships of a woman¡¯s family and that was how their life was. No matter what, men were the pillars of the family. If a woman did not have a brother to help her, that would be really hard. Bai Hua asked someone to carry Yang Ping to the village party secretary¡¯s house. She did not care what her son said. She was going to take the money today. When the days were better, his son would understand. ¡°Thank you!¡± Yang Cailan knew that she was immoral, but she could not bear to part with her portable spiritual energy container. Moreover, she could use this opportunity to get rid of the Yang family. She was really grateful. Liu Baishan¡¯s eyes moved slightly when he heard Yang Cailan¡¯s words. He believed that she was a kind woman since she knew how to be grateful. He took it as spending money to buy peace of mind. The old village party secretary¡¯s house was not better than the other villagers¡¯ houses. It also had adobe walls and there were many chickens and ducks in the yard. Yang Cailan had no choice but to wake up. Otherwise, she would probably be strangled to death by Bai Hua. Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan, who had changed their clothes. One sat opposite the village chief and another stood beside him. Yang Laoda squatted in the corner and smoked a pipe. Bai Hua looked at the contract written by the village accountant. Although she could not read a word, she recognized the money. ¡°See if there¡¯s any problem? If everything is in order, press your fingerprint and sign your name. In the future, Lan would be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family.¡± The village party secretary asked Liu Baishan to take a look. Although it was called a contract, the content was actually simple. It was just a written agreement that Yang Cailan would have nothing to do with the Yang family in the future. Besides, the contract was illegal under common law. Only the village party secretary and Liu Baishan knew about it. The others did not know, especially Yang Laoda and Bai Hua. The contract was meant to shut them up. ¡°Hurry up and sign it!¡± Seeing the £¤300 that Liu Baishan took out, Bai Hua¡¯s heart itched. She did not care about her daughter at all. Yang Laoda put away his tobacco pipe and leaned over. He asked, ¡°Are we really signing this?¡± He was indeed eyeing the £¤300, but he was also afraid that the village party secretary would hit him.

Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Nonsense, it¡¯s already come to this. If you¡¯re a man, sign it! Such a good child was tortured by the two of you to the point of jumping into the river to commit suicide,¡± said the village party secretary. The village party secretary kicked Yang Laoda, but he was not angry. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. As Yang Laoda expected, his uncle was still concerned about his relationship with him. Yang Laoda drew a cross under his name on the contract with the brush, then used the red ink provided by the accountant to stamp his thumbprint on it. Bai Hua waited for her husband to sign the contract and did the same. Liu Baishan did not care about the £¤300 that Bai Hua had snatched away. Instead, he looked at Yang Cailan. Her exceptionally bright eyes were glowing after seeing her parents sign the contract to sell her. It was as if she had come back to life. Yang Cailan¡¯s reaction made Liu Baishan feel a little confused. ¡°Liu Baishan, though I¡¯m selling Lan to you as your wife, she¡¯s a good girl. If we find out that you bullied her, I won¡¯t let you off the hook.¡± The old village party secretary smacked his pipe and said seriously. ¡°I marry her and I definitely won¡¯t let her suffer, but her family must not interact with me. I have to make this clear. If her family comes knocking on my door in the future, don¡¯t blame me for falling out with her.¡± said Liu Baishan. The fact that he could say that was enough to prove how much he disagreed with the Yang family¡¯s approach. The old village party secretary took two more puffs of his cigarette before getting down from the chair. Then, he kicked Yang Laoda again. The strength of the kick seemed painful. ¡°Uncle, why do you keep hitting my husband?¡± Bai Hua hurriedly stuffed the money into her arms and reached out to protect Yang Laoda. No matter what, Yang Laoda was her husband. If he was gone, she could live on her own. ¡°Both of you are terrible parents. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that her biological parents said that the child was filial to you two ingrateful beings, I would have taken the child over long ago!¡± said the old village chief. He was also furious. He even said those words out loud. There was nothing to hide anymore at this point. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Yang Cailan finally grasped the main point. She was worried that if she left like this, she would be blamed by her parents if she helped her brother in the future. ¡°Lan, you¡¯re not blood-related with the Yang family. All the elders in our village know about this, but we don¡¯t know where your biological parents are. Back then, when our country was at war, your parents were both soldiers. As soon as you were born, they left you behind to be raised by the Yang family. I didn¡¯t mention it before because your parents haven¡¯t come to look for you for so many years. I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re already gone. But I didn¡¯t expect these ingrateful beings to sell you so many times. When your parents left, they left behind a lot of money. You don¡¯t owe anyone anything. Go to the Liu family and live a good life!¡± said the old village chief. Bai Hua naturally knew about that. The money had long been spent. She shrunk her neck. Now that she had the money from Liu Baishan, she would not take it out again. She would not give it to Yang Cailan as well. Yang Cailan heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she was no longer controlled by Bai Hua, it was enough. As for the matter of his biological parents, she will decide about it later. ¡°I understand.¡± As Yang Cailan spoke, she knelt down in front of the old village chief and kowtowed three times. He had taken care of Yang Cailan all these years. If not for the village party secretary, Yang Cailan would have had a harder time. ¡°Just live a good life. Get up.¡± The old village chief was so angry that he kicked Yang Laoda who was next to him. Then, he hurriedly asked Liu Baishan to help Yang Cailan up. ¡°Ping, I¡¯m leaving now. Take care of yourself from now on,¡± said Yang Cailan. Her brother is the only one she would worry about most. Although Yang Ping was powerless, he really cared about his sister. Now that Yang Cailan¡¯s true identity was public, it was even harder for her to come back and take care of him. ¡°Lan, get up quickly. It¡¯s because I¡¯m powerless. I¡¯m sorry! Don¡¯t come back in the future. I owe you too much.¡± said Yang Ping as he knelt in front of Yang Cailan. He knew that he was powerless to change anything. He could only kneel weakly on the ground. ¡°Baishan, I know my parents are not kind and have no face to let you treat my sister well! Just don¡¯t treat my sister as a servant girl. She is very diligent and can work. She doesn¡¯t eat much. I taught her to read. Don¡¯t hit her too. If there¡¯s anything, talk it out with her and she will understand!¡± said Yang Ping as he turned around and kowtowed three times to Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan did not expect Yang Ping to kowtow to him, but he still accepted it calmly. Although Liu Baishan did not like Yang Ping, he did not have the right to change the principles of others. Liu Baishan said, ¡°She is my wife now and I will protect her.¡± Everyone could see that Liu Baishan was a benevolent child.

Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Grandma Yang came back with a small package, Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan were ready to leave. ¡°Grandma, take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have the chance!¡± said Yang Cailan as she held her grandmother¡¯s calloused hand, tears falling uncontrollably. After becoming Yang Cailan, Grandma Yang was the person Qing Lian felt closest to. She always felt like she was seeing her old master. ¡°Lan, be more diligent in the future. Listen to whatever your mother-in-law says. There¡¯s nothing wrong with doing more!¡± Grandma Yang held Yang Cailan¡¯s hand and gave her many instructions. She had already left half a century and could not do anything to help. She only hoped that Yang Cailan would be less beaten and scolded after she got married. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± said Liu Baishan. He frowned because he suddenly thought of his mother. The trip back home probably would not be so smooth. Liu Baishan added, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t hit women!¡± Although he had a fierce look on his face, he still said those words stiffly. ¡°Alright, thank you!¡± said Grandma Yang. She wanted to bow to Liu Baishan, but he held her up. Although Yellow River Village was close to Tranquil Village, it was still a few miles away. Yang Cailan knew that she had just schemed against this man, so she followed three steps behind Liu Baishan without saying anything. Liu Baishan was in a hurry to go home, so he naturally walked faster. He did not break away from the concept of suddenly having a wife. Only after he had walked for a long time did he remember. When he looked back, he was stunned. ¡°Are you not feeling well?¡± Liu Baishan asked. His voice was so cold that Yang Cailan shivered. In fact, she was indeed shivering. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± said Yang Cailan. Her lips were a little blue, but she did not dare to tell the truth. She had tricked him and did not want to make things difficult for him. ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me in the future!¡± said Liu Baishan. He took out a thick coat from his luggage and put it on Yang Cailan. In an instant, Yang Cailan felt warm. She said thanks and smiled sweetly at the fierce-looking Liu Baishan. Ever since Liu Baishan¡¯s face was injured, anyone who saw his face would be scared away. No woman would smile at him. He was stunned for a moment before he said directly, ¡°This contract is for you. I¡¯m not really buying you to be my wife. Take it.¡± ¡°Then why did you buy me?¡± Yang Cailan was also stunned. ¡°When we get back, I¡¯ll ask my mother to acknowledge you as her goddaughter. When you want to get married, I¡¯ll introduce you to a partner,¡± said Liu Baishan. This was the best solution he could think of. He was a soldier and had to leave at any time. The future was uncertain and he did not want to delay her. ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± said Yang Cailan. She thought, ¡®If I married someone else, I won¡¯t be able to be close to his spiritual energy.¡¯ ¡°Then what do you want to do?¡± Liu Baishan asked as he pulled a long face, trying to scare Yang Cailan away. ¡°You bought me as your wife, so I¡¯m your wife!¡± said Yang Cailan. She looked up at the dazzling ball of light and wanted to take a bite. She could not see it clearly before in the water. Liu Baishan¡¯s body is full of merit. It¡¯s more nourishing than spiritual energy. ¡°In my current state, I have no intention of getting married and having children.¡± Liu Baishan said honestly. He really did not have such a plan. He came back this time to make his parents give up. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m your wife. If you don¡¯t want me, I¡¯ll tell your mother that you slept with me!¡± When Qing Lian was in the Taoist temple, she had heard many ladies say that. They said that once a couple spent a night together, they would be husband and wife. When the time came, they would not be able to deny it. Liu Baishan was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a woman. Moreover, he reached out and touched the long scar on his face. It ran across half of his face. Even if he had new flesh now, it was still very scary. Many children were scared to tears by him. He asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± ¡°You mean your scar?¡± Yang Cailan was a little excited that she could finally touch it. She touched the scar that had just grown new flesh. ¡°Yes!¡± Liu Baishan nodded. He thought that Yang Cailan¡¯s hands were not delicate and were very cold. The cold touch made him a little stiff. ¡°Nothing to worry about. That¡¯s good enough. I know many herbal remedies that can remove scars. If you listen to me, I guarantee that it will disappear after a while.¡± Yang Cailan said with certainty. After all, she could secretly help. Liu Baishan did not believe Yang Cailan. He was already very lucky to be alive. The scar would definitely not go away. However, he did not care about these. ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?!¡± Yang Cailan saw the calmness in Liu Baishan¡¯s eyes and immediately became angry. Although she was not in the Taoist temple now, and she did not have the lotus body as a link to hear the man¡¯s thoughts, she was a green lotus. Without her original form, she was still very transparent. Naturally, she could see the man¡¯s expression. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s hurry off early!¡± said Liu Baishan. After that, he continued to rush home. He felt that he was out of his mind earlier and that he was wasting time talking to a young girl. However, he had neglected Yang Cailan¡¯s strength.

Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan had long wanted to touch the golden light that made her feel comfortable. She could not possibly give up such an opportunity. Especially now that Liu Baishan was obviously trying to get rid of her, the days when she could absorb nutrients were getting fewer and fewer. She raised one hand to touch the golden light on Liu Baishan. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up. Her hand, which was originally going up, directly grabbed Liu Baishan¡¯s neck. In the end, she suddenly fell into Liu Baishan¡¯s arms. At that moment, she had no choice but to face the reality that Liu Baishan was really tall. Yang Cailan could not even reach the floor. Her two little feet were shaking in panic. It was so awkward. ¡°Don¡¯t cry!¡± Liu Baishan shouted subconsciously. For some reason, he remembered the scene of her hugging and kissing him in the water. Thinking of that, Liu Baishan really wanted to throw her down, but they were on land, not in the water. If he threw her down, she might fall and break. Moreover, he saw that Yang Cialan was already a little silly. He worried that she would be even more silly if she fell. ¡°You disown me yet you don¡¯t allow me to cry! I¡¯ll have to live on the streets in the future and even die without a complete corpse¡­¡± said Yang Cailan. However, what she meant to say was, ¡®Your golden light is enough for me to live this life. I can even live comfortably in my next life, and it¡¯ll continue to grow. Just give me some. Now, you didn¡¯t even let me touch the light and wanted me to marry someone else. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that I wouldn¡¯t have any spiritual power to stabilize my soul? Then, I would really die without a complete corpse.¡¯ Moreover, Yang Cailan really had no resistance to the golden light on Liu Baishan¡¯s body. She just wanted to get close to him and feel comfortable. Then she would be able to integrate better with the body. She could not control it at all. ¡°If you keep crying, I¡¯ll definitely disown you!¡± said Liu Baishan. He was really going crazy. Yang Cailan was stuck to him like an octopus. He looked at her thin arms and legs and really did not dare to throw her out. He could only ask her to come down quickly with a dark face. ¡°I have my dowry with me. Don¡¯t abandon me, okay? I definitely won¡¯t eat and drink for free. I can still work! I can do anything. As long as you let me stay, anything can be discussed.¡± Yang Cailan pleaded. Thinking back to what the villagers had said, Bai Hua had sold Yang Cailan for the dowry. If Yang Cailan had the dowry, Bai Hua would probably not abandon her. They were all people from the village, and their lives were poor. As long as the dowry was enough, no problem could not be solved. ¡°Get off me!¡± Liu Baishan said with a dark face. He thought, ¡®What is wrong with her hanging around my neck? If she stops pestering me, we can sit down and talk.¡¯ ¡°Marry me then, and I¡¯ll go get the dowry!¡± Yang Cailan said hurriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll give it all to you, so you have to marry me!¡± ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m going away somewhere far very soon,¡± Liu Baishan said helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t know if I can come back alive. You¡¯re still so young and have a bright future ahead of you.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t die!¡± Yang Cailan immediately straightened her neck and said. She was sure of that. Such a large ball of light would have merit in his next life. She wondered what Liu Baishan did in his previous life and how many good deeds he did to have such a large golden light. If she died, he would die too! Liu Baishan was a little happy to be trusted. After all, this was also a recognition of his ability, but this was not a reason for him to marry Yang Cailan. He had no choice but to say, ¡°Wait until you understand and don¡¯t regret it. Could you get off me now? Please! It wasn¡¯t good to publicly display our affair in the middle of the day.¡± As he spoke, Liu Baishan wanted to pull Yang Cailan down. Yang Cailan hugged Liu Baishan tightly and said, ¡°I won¡¯t! You haven¡¯t promised me yet!¡± Liu Baishan had never been so helpless in his life. He could not understand why Yang Cailan had such a determined look on her face. However, he had this feeling that he could not explain. He was a little confused and a little happy. But no matter what, he still grabbed Yang Cailan¡¯s leg and prepared to take her down. But Yang Cailan was clearly so thin and weak, she was as agile as a little monkey. Yet, she always had a way to hang onto him. ¡°Get off me quickly!¡± Liu Baishan did not dare to hit Yang Cailan hard, so he lowered his voice and tried to persuade her to get off. Yang Cailan¡¯s true form was the green lotus. Its softness was incomparable to that of an ordinary person. She even took the opportunity to reach out and touch the huge golden light. Unfortunately, it was useless. It was not as effective as a kiss. In that case, no matter what, she had to marry Liu Baishan. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get off you if you marry me!¡± said Yang Cailan. Liu Baishan felt his head was about to pop out. When he saw a figure not far away, he braced himself and agreed, ¡°Alright, I agree. Come down quickly!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan saw that her goal had been achieved, and her eyes immediately narrowed into a smile. She grabbed Liu Baishan¡¯s neck, leaned forward, and kissed him on the lips. In an instant, the golden light entered her body through their connected lips. She was so comfortable that she almost moaned. Liu Baishan¡¯s ears turned red. He thought, ¡®She just kissed me so calmly in broad daylight!¡¯ ¡°You¡¯re so delicious! I still want to eat!¡± said Yang Cailan as her eyes were watery. Liu Baishan felt that Yang Cailan was looking at him like she was looking at a piece of red braised pork, which was soft and delicious. He said, ¡°Speak properly. I¡¯m not food!¡± ¡°It¡¯s delicious! You have to kiss me every day in the future, okay? Alright!¡± Yang Cailan finally got down from Liu Baishan¡¯s neck, but her hands did not leave his neck. She raised her head and answered her own question seriously. Liu Baishan was speechless. If it wasn¡¯t for his tanned face, his face would be as red as a tomato! ¡°Girls can¡¯t kiss others casually,¡± said Liu Baishan as his voice turned cold. He wondered if Yang Cailan¡¯s parents taught her about that. Although her adoptive parents were a little unreliable, it was not possible to be that unreliable. Yang Cailan smiled brightly and agreed readily, ¡°Yes, I won¡¯t kiss anyone. I¡¯ll only kiss you!¡± Liu Baishan¡¯s mind was uncontrollably rippling, and he felt that his breathing was a little difficult. He was unsure if it was because he was angry or something else. He said, ¡°That won¡¯t do either. It¡¯s not good for our reputation!¡± However, after saying that, he felt a little regretful. He honestly felt that the two had just met and it was too early to discuss that. However, Yang Cailan still nodded in agreement. Since they had already kissed, she would not be at a disadvantage. As for Liu Baishan¡¯s words, she just had to listen to him. She said, ¡°Okay, I got it. I promise not to let anyone see me kiss you in the future.¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. Yang Cailan saw that Liu Baishan was silent. She guessed that he had a cold personality and did not care if he was speechless or not. She did not care. The two of them continued on their way. After a few steps, Yang Cailan saw Liu Baishan looking at her from time to time, probably afraid that she could not keep up. Yang Cailan was elated. She felt that Liu Baishan was really kind. Thinking of that, she was even more willing to cling to him. She quickly walked a few steps and stuffed her small hand into Liu Baishan¡¯s big hand. ¡°If you pull me, aren¡¯t you afraid that I can¡¯t keep up with you?¡± Yang Cailan asked. After she finished speaking, she even clasped her fingers with Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan felt the warmth in his palm. His other hand was holding his luggage tightly. It was difficult for him to calm down. He had never known what it felt like to be liked by a woman. He was used to fighting, getting injured, suffering, enduring everything alone etc¡­ However, today, a small hand was forcefully stuffed into his palm, making him want to clench it tightly. Yang Cailan noticed that Liu Baishan was silent. She looked around and tugged at Liu Baishan¡¯s hand. Liu Baishan looked down at Yang Cailan¡¯s shining eyes. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He tried his best to lower his voice so that it would not be so scary, but it was still cold. ¡°Let¡¯s go get my dowry!¡± Yang Cailan smiled slyly. She brought Liu Baishan to a hundred-year-old tree, let go of his hand, and climbed up the tree. Liu Baishan was a little disappointed by the sudden disappearance of the touch. He was actually reluctant to let go. ¡°Liu Baishan, catch!¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s crisp voice rang out from the tree. Liu Baishan subconsciously caught the bag that Yang Cailan threw at him. He staggered a little because he didn¡¯t expect the small bag to be so heavy. When Yang Cailan came down and opened the box, Liu Baishan could not believe his eyes. Yang Cailan¡¯s big eyes sparkled and said, ¡°This is my dowry! Is that enough?¡± Liu Baishan looked at Yang Cailan in astonishment. When he heard Yang Cailan say that she had a dowry, he thought that she had saved up some of her own money, but he never thought that it would be these things. It made him wonder if she knew the value of these things. ¡°Do you know what this is?¡± Liu Baishan asked. His voice was a little tense. ¡°I know, I¡¯m not an idiot.¡± Yang Cailan said excitedly. ¡°Isn¡¯t this gold? It can be used as money, right?¡± Yang Cailan remembered that in her previous life, many devotees liked to give gold to the old priest in the Taoist temple¡­ ¡°How do you have so much gold?¡± Liu Baishan asked as he could not help but think of the Yang family¡¯s situation. If they had taken out the gold, she would not have been sold. Yang Cailan gave Liu Baishan a rough explanation that it was given to her by an old lady who was on the verge of death when Yang Cailan saved her. ¡°Then do you know the identity of that old lady?¡± Liu Baishan continued to ask. He could not imagine what kind of old lady could give so much gold as a dowry. Yang Cailan shook her head and said, ¡°The old lady said that she should have died a long time ago.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The original Yang Cailan wanted to give the money to Yang Ping so that he could get medical treatment and marry a wife. However, the series of actions by her adoptive parents, coupled with her brother¡¯s inability to stop them, caused the original Yang Cailan to completely despair. She would rather die than take out the gold. In the end, it was because of hatred! She hated the oppression of her adoptive parents and her brother¡¯s cowardice. Although Qing Lian could cultivate her human form, she still could not understand the complex emotions of human beings. In her opinion, if she liked it, she should do it. If she did not like it, she should give up. There was nothing to be conflicted about! She promised the original Yang Cailan that she would treat Yang Ping better, but only a little. After all, the original Yang Cailan had no desire to live anymore. There was nothing else she could do. Liu Baishan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Yang Cailan¡¯s words, especially when he saw Yang Cailan¡¯s expression that was begging for praise. He really did not know what to say. ¡°Keep this to yourself. Don¡¯t tell anyone except me! If anything happens, this is your capital to settle down!¡± said Liu Baishan. He was defeated by Yang Cailan¡¯s innocent gaze. He was not sure how long he could live. If he went back in the field this time, the gold would be Yang Cailan¡¯s future support. A woman could not survive without money and her family support. Yang Cailan did not know what Liu Baishan was thinking. She only thought that Liu Baishan was not a bad guy, at least he was not greedy for money. The old Taoists had said that people who were not greedy for money did not have bad characters. From the looks of it, she was even more certain that she was going to rely on Liu Baishan. ¡°I will definitely keep them by my side. This is my dowry. In the future, we will rely on them to support us.¡± said Yang Cailan. Along the way, Yang Cailan was chattering non-stop, which made Liu Baishan, who was used to loneliness, a little absent-minded. He thought, ¡®Is this what an ordinary life feels like? I did not dare to think about it, nor did I dare to ask for it.¡¯ Liu Baishan thought for a moment and whispered, ¡°When you see my parents later, don¡¯t say anything. If they reacted badly, just pretend that you didn¡¯t see them. I¡¯ll take care of them.¡± Yang Cailan nodded, ¡°I understand. I¡¯m counting on you, hubby!¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. He said, ¡°Just call me Liu Baishan! Besides, what era is it now?¡± Yang Cailan tilted her head and looked at Liu Baishan. She said, ¡°Calling you by your name feels so distant. I¡¯m your wife, so can I call you Shan Shan?¡± Liu Baishan exclaimed, ¡°No way! It feels so girlish!¡± Yang Cailan was a little disappointed. She thought calling Liu Baishan ¡°Shan Shan¡± sounded good. Since he wanted her to address him in full name then it shall be it. As the two of them were talking, they had unknowingly arrived at Tranquil Village. Suddenly, someone saw Liu Baishan and exclaimed, ¡°Shan? You¡¯re back?!¡± The one who called out was an old man. He had a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up. Liu Baishan greeted the old man, ¡°Yes, Old Mister. It¡¯s me. Where are you going?¡± The old man grinned and said, ¡°I have nothing better to do, so I¡¯m going to the back of the mountain for a stroll.¡± After chatting for a while, the old man finally asked about Yang Cailan and laughed mockingly, ¡°Shan, is this your wife?¡± Liu Baishan glanced at Yang Cailan, who was blushing. He did not know when she had become like that. He thought, ¡®Why is she so shy? Why didn¡¯t she blush when she kissed me earlier?¡¯ ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right!¡± Liu Baishan admitted it. Yang Cailan narrowed her eyes happily and greeted, ¡°Hello, sir!¡± The crisp sound made the old man laugh heartily. He said, ¡°Then go home quickly. Your parents must be waiting for you!¡± Liu Baishan responded and brought Yang Cailan home. Before they reached home, they heard the laughter at home. As Liu Baishan pushed open the door and brought Yang Cailan in, everyone in the courtyard looked over. When they saw Liu Baishan, Liu Baishan¡¯s mother, Shui Xian, immediately ran to her son and hugged him excitedly. She said, ¡°My son, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Every time Liu Baishan came back, his mother would do that, but he was still not used to it. He greeted, ¡°Mother, I¡¯m home!¡± Shui Xian immediately started crying. Her son had always been in the army and they only saw each other once every few years. She hugged him and cried for a long time before wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. She said somewhat embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m too happy and can¡¯t control myself. Quickly, come in¡­¡± However, before Shui Xian could finish her sentence, she finally looked up and saw her son¡¯s face clearly. Then, she was stunned. ¡±That long scar from the end of his left eye, across the bridge of his nose, to the corner of his right mouth. He almost lost his eye¡­¡¯ At the thought of that, her tears fell again. ¡°My son, are you injured anywhere else?¡± Shui Xian asked. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Before Liu Baishan could speak, many people surrounded him and started talking, ¡°Can this injury be cured?¡± ¡°Definitely, Didn¡¯t he come back safely?¡± Shui Xian said as her heart skipped a beat. In her mind, she did not want to admit that her son¡¯s injuries would not heal. Liu Baishan glanced at the person who asked the question and had a guess in his heart. He interrupted his mother, ¡°The military doctor has diagnosed me. It can¡¯t be cured. It was already good enough that he could keep me alive. Moreover, this scar would become even uglier in the future. After all, it had not completely healed yet.¡± The person who asked the question had an even worse expression. He said directly, ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. This marriage is off!¡± The person was wearing a long-sleeved gown that had been washed until it had turned white. She was in her thirties. Beside her was a young girl who was hiding behind the woman in fear. The young girl did not dare to look at Liu Baishan. When Shui Xian heard the woman¡¯s words, her expression turned even uglier. The woman had just said that she would agree to the engagement as long as Liu Baishan was fine. Then, the woman would set a date for the wedding. Earlier, the two families were chatting and laughing, but it ended differently after a while. ¡°Dear in-laws, didn¡¯t we just agree on the engagement? The marriage was only short of the two children meeting. Why did you call it off?¡± Shui Xian asked as she forced a smile. The woman sneered, ¡°We did agree, but we also said that the groom must be in good health! You said that your son is an official and that he won¡¯t go to the battlefield to fight. But now, look at his face. Is that a face that doesn¡¯t fight? Although our family is poor, I can¡¯t let my daughter suffer like this!¡± If some families treated their daughters as bargaining chips, some really cared for their daughters. The woman¡¯s daughter¡¯s face turned pale when she saw Liu Baishan. The young girl then said that she would not marry Liu Baishan. As a mother, the woman could not bear to force her daughter to marry. Shui Xian¡¯s heart ached for her son. She still wants her son to get married. She said, ¡°Shan was on the battlefield, so it¡¯s inevitable that he gets injured. Isn¡¯t he fine now?¡± In fact, Shui Xian still could not bear to part with the engagement she found for her son. She looked at the young girl. The young girl had a round face and a large bottom. In Shui Xian¡¯s opinion, the young girl would definitely be easy to bear children. After Liu Baishan married the young girl, Shui Xian thought she would be a grandmother in a short time. Thus, Shui Xian really could not bear to part with this good daughter-in-law. The woman laughed coldly, ¡°You were very convincing. You said that your son was handsome and strong. Look at him now. I don¡¯t think he has much strength, right? He¡¯s so skinny, so insubstantial, tsk¡­¡± Some unmarried girls did not quite understand what the woman meant, but those who were older understood immediately. They subconsciously glanced at Liu Boshan¡¯s physique and finally shook their heads silently. Yang Cailan, who was in the crowd, watched everyone¡¯s movements and also took a look. She said, ¡°It¡¯s pretty good! He was tall, muscular, and very strong. He could even pull me out of the water alone.¡± Yang Cailan was muttering softly, but one woman beside Yang Cailan heard it and immediately disagreed, ¡°Young lady, you don¡¯t understand. When we talk about insubstantial things, there are many meanings¡­There are some things that you will understand after you marry someone. Men couldn¡¯t be too insubstantial.¡± Yang Cailan still did not understand. She was wondering why the woman could not just say it directly. To Yang Cailan, Liu Baishan was so good that she wanted him. He would definitely be useful. Looking at the golden light, Yang Cailan wished she could hug it and consume it every day. Yang Cailan put aside her thoughts. Shui Xian exploded in anger after the woman finished speaking. If word got out that Liu Baishan was useless, he would not be able to get married in the future. Some things, regardless of whether they were true or not, were guaranteed to be known by more than ten villages. ¡°Are you courting death? What are you trying to say here? I think your daughter is the one with the problem. She¡¯s useless and her face is ugly,¡± said Shui Xian. Shui Xian¡¯s outburst caused the woman to panic. The woman thought, ¡®How dare Shui Xian say that my daughter was not good-looking?¡¯ Then, Shui Xian and the woman instantly started fighting. Without her mother¡¯s protection, the young girl faced Liu Baishan directly. She was so frightened that she shivered. She could not help but scream and quickly lowered her head. Liu Baishan was speechless. He was very depressed. Even if his face was disfigured, it was because he had just crawled out of the gates of hell some time ago. His body was indeed very thin, but he was not weak at all. Of course, Liu Baishan could not say that out loud, and he was not going to say it out loud. When his mother fought with a woman, he could only look for his family. However, when Liu Baishan saw that his sister and sister-in-law did not dare to stand up for him, he was instantly frustrated. He could not help but wonder if the women were going to watch his mother get beaten up instead of helping out. ¡°Dan Ruo, go and pull our mother away!¡± Liu Baishan was calling his little sister. Dan Ruo immediately shook her head and said, ¡°Shan, I don¡¯t dare to. Mother and the woman are fighting so fiercely. I¡¯m afraid of being beaten up!¡± Because Dan Ruo was the youngest sister, she was born with a congenital deficiency when she was young. She had always had a weak personality and was decorative at home.

Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan had no choice but to look at his sister-in-law, who took two steps back. She said, ¡°Shan, don¡¯t look at me. I don¡¯t dare. If Mother is really angry, she will even hit me! Especially since this is your business. If Mother doesn¡¯t vent her anger today, I¡¯ll be in trouble.¡± If the women did not help, there was no need for Liu Baishan to count on his eldest brother and father. In the end, Liu Baishan sighed and prepared to step forward and pull his mother away. Although it was a little embarrassing, he could not watch his mother get beaten. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± Yang Cailan moved closer to Liu Baishan and tugged at his sleeve. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Liu Baishan was still wondering how Yang Cailan was going to get there. He looked at how she entered the fight in a way that he could not understand. Then, Yang Cailan gently separated the two women who were fighting, sat on the other woman, and said to Shui Xian, ¡°Auntie, come on!¡± Shui Xian had not come back to her senses. She thought, ¡®Where did this little girl come from? She even controlled the situation in an instant?¡¯ However, Shui Xian did not have time to think about it. At this moment, she wanted to give that woman a good beating. Otherwise, her son¡¯s reputation would be ruined! Everyone was dumbfounded and they had the same questions in mind, ¡®Whose little girl was this? She looked weak and timid on the surface but she was strong and fierce.¡¯ Yang Cailan only let go after Shui Xian had beaten her opponent until her opponent begged for mercy. While Yang Cailan stood aside with an innocent face. The woman was helped up by her daughter. The woman pointed at Shui Xian and scolded, ¡°Just wait. This matter isn¡¯t over yet!¡± Then, the woman left with her daughter. Shui Xian spat and said, ¡°Pfft, I dare you to stay and fight me! I¡¯ll tear your rotten mouth apart.¡± Shui Xian turned around and held Yang Cailan¡¯s hand, smiling, ¡°Who are your parents? You¡¯re not from this village, right? I haven¡¯t seen you around before.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my family now!¡± Yang Cailan said seriously. Shui Xian was stunned. She thought Yang Cailan was joking with her. Yang Cailan repeated, ¡°I¡¯m Liu Baishan¡¯s wife. So I¡¯m part of the family!¡± Shui Xian looked at her expressionless son in shock. She said, ¡°This is a joke, right? With Shan¡¯s personality, if I don¡¯t find him a partner, he¡¯ll have to stay single for the rest of his life!¡± Yang Cailan nodded. That was indeed the case. So, she was the one who took the initiative to cling to him! She said, ¡°I¡¯m really Liu Baishan¡¯s wife. He promised to tell you about marrying me when we arrive. Not only did he hug me, he even kissed me! I have to marry him!¡± Shui Xian had a good impression of Yang Cailan because of her help just now. Now that she saw such a delicate and soft little girl said that, her first thought was, ¡®Shan, I have misjudged you!¡¯ Liu Baishan had a puzzled expression on his face. Dan Ruo, who was beside Liu Baishan, finally mustered up her courage and stepped forward to hold Yang Cailan¡¯s hand. She said, ¡°Lan, if Shan bullies you, you can tell me¡­No, tell Mother! She is really amazing!¡± Dan Ruo had always been weak and timid because her family took more care of her. In front of outsiders, she was a little lamb, but at home, she was still a lot braver. No one knew what she was thinking, but she felt sympathy for Yang Cailan. Dan Ruo had never thought that her brother would be such a person. She had also misjudged Liu Baishan! Liu Baishan¡¯s sister-in-law, Bai Feng, looked at Yang Cailan in surprise. ¡®With Liu Baishan¡¯s personality, how could he do such a thing? Amazing!¡¯ Shui Xian had already pinched Liu Baishan¡¯s ear and asked him what had happened. The rest of the family looked at Yang Cailan. She was not shy at all and answered whatever was asked obediently. Liu Baishan had no choice but to take his mother outside and tell her about Yang Cailan¡¯s situation. Shui Xian did not expect this to be the case. However, when Liu Baishan said that he would let Yang Cailan remarry after she had thought things through, his ear was pinched again. His mother said, ¡°Are you stupid? Lan is already so pitiful, but she still wants to marry you. How can you let her marry again? Anyway, you still have to go back to the army in the future. This girl can stay at home!¡± Shui Xian had a good plan, but Liu Baishan smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Mother, I¡¯m retired from the army!¡± Due to his health issues from the last mission, Liu Baishan was unable to carry out high-intensity mission training at all. Although the army wanted him to transfer to a civilian position, he refused. If Liu Baishan continued to stay there, he would feel a psychological gap. Sooner or later, something would happen. However, he was unwilling to accept this. That was why he still wanted to return to the army and start from scratch. Although Shui Xian was disappointed, she was also glad. At least she did not have to worry about her son¡¯s safety in the future. However, this way, the matter of marrying a wife could not be so urgent. ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s not easy to find a partner for you in a short period, so let Lan stay here first. After a while, if you still don¡¯t want to marry her, then I¡¯ll get someone to look after her. How about that?¡± Shui Xian was also straightforward and directly gave him a solution.

Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that, but he did not care too much about it. He thought that Yang Cailan was only relying on him as her savior and that she would be fine after a while. After dinner, the family was faced with the problem of where Yang Cailan was going to stay. ¡°Of course I¡¯m sleeping with Liu Baishan. I¡¯m his wife!¡± said Yang Cailan. Her big eyes were filled with a matter-of-fact look, while Liu Baishan almost choked on his rice. The family did not react in time, but Shui Xian quickly made the decision and said, ¡°Yes, the two of you are already a couple now, so you should live together.¡± Liu Baishan looked at his mother, who completely ignored the hint he gave her. That was not what they said outside earlier! ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re the best!¡± Yang Cailan said happily. ¡°Lan, if that¡¯s the case, then you¡¯ll have to change how you address me in the future.¡± Shui Xian laughed heartily. ¡°Yes, Mother!¡± said Yang Cailan as she understood instantly. Yang Cailan¡¯s address made Shui Xian even happier. Shui Xian took out a handkerchief from her pocket and stuffed it into Yang Cailan¡¯s hand. The two of them seem to get along well with each other, nothing like what Liu Baishan was worried about. Bai Feng sitting beside looked unhappy. Shui Xian had never treated Bai Feng so well before. In the end, Bai Feng put the blame on her man and her mother-in-law for being biased! Yang Cailan did not stand on ceremony. She knew that there would be a welcome gift for being newlywed. She definitely could not refuse a gift from her mother-in-law. Otherwise, others would think that she treated her mother-in-law as an outsider. Then, Yang Cailan took out a small handkerchief and stuffed it into Shui Xian¡¯s hand. Yang Cailan lifted a corner of the handkerchief for Shui Xian to take a look. Shui Xian was shocked at first, but then she immediately covered the handkerchief and gave Yang Cailan an exaggerated smile. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were whispering to each other, and the whole family was curious. Other than Shui Xian¡¯s greeting gift, Bai Feng also prepared a gift at the last minute. Because the family had prepared to betroth Liu Baishan, she had already prepared a greeting gift. Although the supposed bride had changed, it did not hinder her from sending gifts. After all, her mother-in-law had already given it to Yang Cailan, so Bai Feng could not pretend that she did not see it. Yang Cailan happily accepted it and returned the gift. It was a silver pendant in the shape of a lotus flower. No country bumpkin would be willing to give a silver pendant. Bai Feng was originally dissatisfied with Yang Cailan, but now they had become sisters! As for Dan Ruo, Yang Cailan gave her a pair of earrings, but the style was cuter. Liu Fu, Liu Baishan, and the eldest son looked at each other suspiciously. They all wondered when did the women in the house become so easy to talk to. When Yang Cailan followed Liu Baishan into his room, Liu Baishan was confused. However, Yang Cailan tilted her head and hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s waist with both hands. She asked with a smile, ¡°Liu Baishan, since your parents have acknowledged me, shouldn¡¯t you give me a reward?¡± Although it was not the first time Yang Cailan hugged Liu Baishan, he was still not used to it. He subconsciously held down Yang Cailan¡¯s hand, afraid that she would do something rash. Only then he realized that he had actually held down Yang Cailan¡¯s hands. However, Yang Cailan was not obedient. She tiptoed and kissed his lips. Liu Baishan was speechless. They were in his room and there was only him and Yang Cailan in the room. He did not have to worry about being seen by others. The key was that Yang Cailan said that she was his wife. For a moment, Liu Baishan¡¯s man¡¯s instinct wanted him to do something to Yang Cailan, but his rationality told him not to. Therefore, Liu Baishan did not do anything when their lips were pressed together. Yang Cailan took a deep breath, feeling intoxicated. Because tiptoeing was too tiring, she finally could not stand it anymore and left Liu Baishan¡¯s lips. Liu Baishan subconsciously reached out to hold Yang Cailan in place. Yang Cailan did not have the complicated emotions of a human being. She accepted Liu Baishan¡¯s kindness and placed all her weight on him. After taking a breath of the golden light, she was dizzy. She nestled in Liu Baishan¡¯s arms and said softly, ¡°Liu Baishan, my legs are weak. Carry me to rest!¡± Looking at the delicate and weak Yang Cailan in his arms, Liu Baishan could not be cruel to her. Helplessly, he bent down to pick her up and carefully placed her on the brick bed. Yang Cailan felt that even if she could not absorb it, she was surrounded by the golden light. She could not bear to let go. ¡°Let go of me, I¡¯ll go sleep on the floor!¡± Liu Baishan felt that they could not just sleep together now. He worried that Yang Cailan might regret it. Hearing that, Yang Cailan tightened her grip. She said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± In Yang Cailan¡¯s opinion, it was simply a waste of heaven¡¯s gift that such a huge human-shaped golden light could only be seen and not hugged. ¡°Liu Baishan, I¡¯m your wife. Could you bear to let me stay alone in the empty room?¡± Yang Cailan pleaded repeatedly. She did not care how seductive she sounded when she said that. In any case, it was fine as long as she could achieve her goal. As for the humiliation, a green lotus had no sense of shame or any other sense for that matter.

Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan was speechless. He was not sure whether Yang Cailan meant what he thought. He did not dare to ask or say anything, afraid that she would say something even more exaggerated, and ended up dragged by her to the bed. ¡°But this is not appropriate. You are still a young lady¡­¡± Liu Baishan said softly, afraid that if he spoke too loudly, it would be a misunderstanding. Yang Cailan did not agree at all. Liu Baishan was part of her life now. No one would go against their own life. So it was not considered inappropriate. Yang Cailan said, ¡°There¡¯s no time more suitable than now. You must be tired too. Let¡¯s call it a night!¡± After that, Yang Cailan laid herself on Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan was speechless. Compared to Yang Cailan, he had more difficulties in taking the initiative. He could only pretend to be decorative as stiff as he can. He even slowed down his breathing, allowing Yang Cailan to do whatever she wanted. In fact, Liu Baishan was also thinking too much. Because Yang Cailan was a little lotus, she did not even understand the complicated feelings of human beings, let alone what they would do when they slept together. One had to know that the reproduction of the green lotus was different from that of humans. Moreover, what she needed was the golden light on Liu Baishan. As for hugging him to sleep, she felt as if she was wrapped in golden light. It was very comfortable and she was already very satisfied. After lying down for a while, Yang Cailan suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly. She said, ¡°Oh dear, I haven¡¯t bathe yet!¡± Liu Baishan wanted to laugh. He thought, ¡®So she knew that it was not right to sleep right after entering the house.¡¯ At that moment, someone knocked on the door and Dan Ruo¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°Shan, Mother asked me to send some clothes for Lan to change into!¡± Yang Cailan did not wait for Liu Baishan to speak. She immediately jumped out of bed and opened the door. Then, Yang Cailan saw Dan Ruo standing at the door with a bashful expression. Dan Ruo had two pieces of clothing in her arms and was a little reserved. Yang Cailan hurriedly reached out and pulled Dan Ruo in. Yang Cailan said excitedly, ¡°Dan Ruo, you¡¯re really too kind. I was just saying that I wanted to take a bath and you brought me a change of clothes.¡± Dan Ruo had thought that Yang Cailan would dislike the clothes she had brought for her. Dan Ruo had not expected Yang Cailan to be so happy. It was as if Yang Cailan¡¯s eyes had lit up. Dan Ruo heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately smiled and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and boil water for you, Lan. So you can take a good bath!¡± Dan Ruo left as she spoke. Liu Baishan saw that Yang Cailan was about to try on the clothes. It was inappropriate for him to be here, so he stopped Dan Ruo and said, ¡°You stay and have a chat with Lan. I¡¯ll go boil the water!¡± Dan Ruo did not expect Liu Baishan to say that, and she could not react for a moment. Although Liu Baishan was not like the eldest son and was not that chauvinistic, Liu Baishan rarely did these things at home. Usually, it was Dan Ruo, Shui Xian, and Bai Feng who did these things. Thinking of that, Dan Ruo could not help but look at Yang Cailan again. Dan Ruo could feel that Liu Baishan did not seem to not care about Yang Cailan. Now that Liu Baishan had a wife, he was willing to do things that he did not do before. Although Dan Ruo was not talkative, Yang Cailan was. As long as Yang Cailan wanted to chat, there was no day that she could not chat with. The two of them looked at the clothes and started chatting. Yang Cailan thought of the clothes she had seen in her previous life. They were all from noble families, so she immediately shared them with Dan Ruo. And Dan Ruo was also a soft-hearted person. In addition, she was very good at needlework. Shui Xian and Bai Feng¡¯s needlework was not as good as hers. In addition, Dan Ruo¡¯s family doted on her, unlike other families who treated their daughters as outsiders. They even specially asked Dan Ruo to learn sewing from others in fear that she would suffer when she married in the future, so she was good at making clothes. She just felt that the conditions were too limited. She only had ordinary fabrics and styles. She did not have the chance to see anything different. When Dan Ruo heard Yang Cailan talking about the style of clothing, Dan Ruo was immediately interested. The more they talked, the more they felt compatible. When Liu Baishan finished boiling water and called Yang Cailan, the discussion was not over. Dan Ruo was even unwilling to leave. She had never known that there were so many different designs for clothes. Dan Ruo never thought that Yang Cailan was very knowledgeable. ¡°You talk more tomorrow. Go ahead and enjoy your bath first!¡± said Liu Baishan as he handed Yang Cailan a new set of toiletries. Yang Cailan stuck out her tongue at Dan Ruo, then turned around and hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s waist. She said, ¡°Liu Baishan, you¡¯re so good! You even went to boil bath water for me.¡± Taking advantage of Liu Baishan¡¯s stiff body, she tiptoed and kissed him, then ran out with Dan Ruo. Dan Ruo was pulled out of the room by Yang Cailan. She was dizzy and could not believe what she just saw. ¡®Yang Cailan kissed Shan in front of me? Did they really kiss? Oh my, Yang Cailan wasn¡¯t afraid of Shan, who was like an evil god, and even kissed him? She even kissed him so loudly. Am I in a dream or what?¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Dan Ruo, are you going to bathe with me?¡± Yang Cailan asked casually. Dan Ruo immediately waved her hand and refused, ¡°I¡¯ll skip. Lan, if you need help in scrubbing your back, I can help you!¡± Dan Ruo was still shy. Yang Cailan was so calm. After all, they had just met and Dan Ruo was not used to being naked in front of others. She felt shy about it. Yang Cailan suddenly remembered the condition of her body. Although she had been soaking in the river for a while, the dirt on her body had not been washed off much. She had to wash it properly now. If they showered together, the water would probably turn black. Hearing Dan Ruo¡¯s words, Yang Cailan did not force it and nodded. ¡°Okay, then help me scrub my back!¡± said Yang Cailan. However, when Dan Ruo was rubbing Yang Cailan¡¯s back with the loofah, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Dan Ruo¡¯s voice was so loud that even Liu Baishan heard it. He rushed over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Liu Baishan was very anxious. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he thought that something had happened and rushed in. He subconsciously went to look for Yang Cailan. He thought that she would fall into the water and sink to the bottom like she did during the day. He did not expect to see a smooth back. There was also a blooming green lotus on the smooth back. It was vivid and lifelike. ¡°Shan, what¡¯s wrong with Lan? When her back was soaked in the water, a green lotus appeared. It was not there before!¡± said Dan Ruo. She did not think too much about it. She was just shocked by the change, so she told Liu Baishan immediately. It was the first time she had seen such a magical tattoo. Liu Baishan was reminded by Dan Ruo¡¯s voice and hurriedly turned his head away. Although he had kissed and hugged Yang Cailan, they were still not bonded yet. Liu Baishan really could not face Yang Cailan without mentally preparing himself. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡± Yang Cailan could not see the situation behind her back, and she looked at Liu Baishan and Dan Ruo. Yang Cailan was very curious if the lotus flower was the same as her original body. However, no matter how Yang Cailan turned her head, she could not see her back. In the end, because of the increase in the degree of her twisting, Liu Baishan inadvertently saw a round shape. Even the red dots were clearly visible. He was this close to having his blood pumping rushingly! Liu Baishan hurriedly turned around and said to Dan Ruo, ¡°It¡¯s just a special type of tattoo. Don¡¯t make a fuss out of it! There¡¯s nothing to shout about.¡± Dan Ruo nodded, thinking to herself that Liu Baishan really knew a lot, even knowing this. But she did not make a fuss anymore. After Dan Ruo finished washing Yang Cailan, she sighed, ¡°Lan, your tattoo is so beautiful. I thought it was a blooming lotus. This pattern is amazing¡­¡± Yang Cailan was still thinking about what was going on, ¡®Could it be that my true form had come along with her soul? Otherwise, where did the green lotus tattoo come from? I can¡¯t confirm it now so I better not say anything about it.¡¯ Yang Cailan, who had just finished bathing, immediately jumped in front of Liu Baishan to let him see if she was clean. Liu Baishan was enveloped by the faint fragrance of the green lotus, and his eyes were a little dark. Seeing that Yang Cailan¡¯s hair was still dripping, Liu Baishan felt a little helpless. He quietly took out a towel from his bag and wrapped it around her head. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll dry your hair for you!¡± Yang Cailan stood obediently in front of Liu Baishan and let him dry her hair. She felt that this experience was very magical. Before Yang Cailan came to this world, she was not human, so she did not wash her hair at all. When Liu Baishan was drying her hair, Yang Cailan was staring at his chest. She had no choice but to gaze there. Because she was bored standing there, she reached out and poked his chest. His chest was hard and it was very fun for her. At first, Liu Baishan did not think much of it. However, after being poked for a long time, although it did not hurt or itch, it was like a kitten scratching people. It had some effects. Fortunately, Yang Cailan¡¯s hair was already half-dried, so Liu Baishan could distance himself from her. He looked at the furry little head and his heart softened. ¡°Liu Baishan, can you see if the lotus flower on my back is still there? Could it be that it only appeared when I encountered water? Dan Ruo¡¯s description is too abstract, I can¡¯t imagine it.¡± As Yang Cailan spoke, she took off her clothes, revealing her entire back. When Liu Baishan saw Yang Cailan¡¯s back again, he could not stop her even if he wanted to. He only had time to hold Yang Cailan¡¯s shoulder which was about to turn around. He was hoping that Yang Cailan would stop testing his willpower. He felt that he did not have any willpower when facing this little wife of his! Yang Cailan could not turn around. She could only push her hair to the side, revealing her back. It was as white as jade, without any patterns.

Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan only took a glance to confirm that the pattern he saw just now had disappeared. It should have been formed when it came into contact with water. He said softly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing!¡± Yang Cailan was a little disappointed, but she remembered that the pattern would only appear after she touched the water. She grabbed the cup on the table and was about to splash it on her back. Liu Baishan was shocked. He knew if Yang Cailan splashed the water, her clothes would definitely be wet. Her wet clothes would be half transparent. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll do it!¡± Liu Baishan took the cup over and remembered the location of the lotus flower. In this case, he only needed to sprinkle a little water on that location to make the pattern appear. However, when Liu Baishan really did that, he did not know how to do it. Because the position of the pattern extended from Yang Cailan¡¯s waist and abdomen, the lotus flower bloomed near the shoulder blade, which almost occupied the entire back. This was a little different from what he had imagined. There was only so much water in the cup in his hand. He didn¡¯t want the water to wet Yang Cailan¡¯s clothes, so he could only apply the water bit by bit. He had to be fast, or the water would evaporate. If the pattern disappeared, the whole picture could not be seen. If they were both men, Liu Baishan would not care and would not think about anything. He would just pour the water and would not hesitate. However, the person he was going to pour the water on was Yang Cailan, and she was his new wife. Everything was in a tight spot. Yang Cailan waited for a while. Seeing that Liu Baishan had not moved for a long time, she could not help but feel anxious. She urged, ¡°Liu Baishan, what are you doing? Hurry up!¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s sweet voice brought Liu Baishan back to his senses. He replied with an ¡°oh¡± and finally began to move. However, when his fingers touched her smooth skin, he could not help but tremble. Liu Baishan was a rough man who had been in the army all year round. He never had a chance to touch such soft skin. The calluses on his fingertips were clearly visible, and the girl¡¯s skin was too delicate. After his touch, red marks actually appeared. He could not help but blame himself. It was all his fault for being too rough¡­ However, as Liu Baishan¡¯s fingers moved, a lotus flower pulled out its root from her fair waist and finally bloomed at her shoulder blade. If it was not for the fact that the lotus was on Yang Cailan¡¯s skin, Liu Baishan would have thought that it was a real lotus that was placed on her back. Because everything was too real, like a real flower. He was surprised at the technique used on the tattoo to make it so lifelike. As Liu Baishan¡¯s fingers moved, Yang Cailan could clearly feel the trembling in the depths of her soul. It was a comfortable feeling as if her body was surrounded by spiritual energy! The more comfortable she was, the more it wanted to open its petals bigger. If she was not afraid of scaring Liu Baishan, she really wanted to hug Liu Baishan and kiss him! This feeling of being surrounded by spiritual energy was very addictive. Yang Cailan felt that she was the most miserable lotus. It clearly had so much spiritual energy, but she could only look at it and not eat it. Even if she could eat it, it would only be a small bite! She could not eat her fill at all. It was too tragic. The water content was low, so it naturally evaporated faster. The lotus flower also slowly disappeared. Liu Baishan felt a little regretful. He thought, ¡®Such a beautiful lotus flower was gone just like that. What a pity. I hadn¡¯t seen enough.¡¯ Fortunately, Liu Baishan was still rational. Just as he was about to tidy up Yang Cailan¡¯s clothes, the door was suddenly pushed open and quickly closed! Everything happened too fast for Liu Baishan to react. Only his mother¡¯s voice could be heard. Shui Xian said, ¡°Dang, I didn¡¯t see anything. Seriously, why didn¡¯t they turn off the lights when they were having intimate moments!¡± Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan innocently, not understanding what Shui Xian meant. She was also wondering what they did. Then, Yang Cailan shouted to Shui Xian outside, ¡°Mother, we¡¯re not doing anything. You can come in!¡± Hearing that, Shui Xian understood that Yang Cailan probably had not been enlightened yet! To Shui Xian, Yang Cailan was a little girl. As for Liu Baishan, who looked like a serious and restrained person, Shui Xian did not expect him to be such a coquettish person. ¡±He had not even started sleeping yet and he was already making a move. He was kind of in a hurry. But in the end, he was my son. I can¡¯t wait for the two of them to get married and let outsiders see that my son was fine! He was not weak at all. I must not spoil his moment after this.¡¯ Shui Xian thought. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just want to tell you that you don¡¯t have to wake up early tomorrow morning. Sleep a little longer. I¡¯ll save your portion of the breakfast for you.¡± After saying that, Shui Xian felt that something was missing. She thought about it and leaned against the window to whisper to Liu Baishan, ¡°Shan, although Lan doesn¡¯t care about rituals, you have to remember that today is your wedding day! Don¡¯t hurt her, do you hear me?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Liu Baishan heard that, he was speechless. He thought, ¡®That¡¯s my mother. She had no scruples and could even say such words. Did she really think that today is my wedding night?¡¯ Liu Baishan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yang Cailan answered for him, ¡°Mother, don¡¯t worry. Liu Baishan won¡¯t hurt me. He just touched my back!¡± Yang Cailan thought that what she had described was normal, and it was the truth. However, to Shui Xian, it was not the case. She thought, ¡®How could Shan be so playful after leaving home? He even touched her back first. If I did not appear, wouldn¡¯t he be touching the front already? It was all my fault. Why do I have to come? Otherwise, they would be doing it now!¡¯ Thinking of that, Shui Xian¡¯s wrinkled face could not help but turn red. She said, ¡°I know. Then let Shan touch you more. Don¡¯t be shy. This is how a couple lives!¡± After saying that, Shui Xian hurriedly returned to her room. She definitely could not delay her son¡¯s work. Perhaps she would have a grandson in a month. Liu Baishan was speechless. He was starting to doubt his life now. He had always been here yet he could not keep up with the two people¡¯s thoughts. Liu Baishan shook his head, trying to suppress his strange thoughts. However, Yang Cailan tilted her head, blinked her big eyes, and asked, ¡°Do you still want to touch it?¡± Liu Baishan was wordless. He simply said, ¡°Get some sleep, I¡¯ll go out and take a bath!¡± With that, Liu Baishan fled. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan¡¯s back and could not help but laugh. She thought, ¡®Is he shy? Are humans all that funny? When he comes back, I would definitely kiss him to comfort my little hurt heart! It¡¯s his fault for running away and shocking me!¡¯ However, Yang Cailan did not expect her body to fail her. She fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while! In fact, it was not Yang Cailan¡¯s fault. Her body was already on the verge of death, and Qing Lian had experienced the thunder tribulation. No matter how one looked at it, she was very weak. In addition, she fell into the river today, so her body was already tired. When Liu Baishan came back from a cold bath, he saw Yang Cailan sleeping on her stomach. To Liu Baishan, he was not disgusted by the sudden addition of a wife, and such a passionate one at that. He was just a little surprised and did not know what to do. He sat by the bed and looked at Yang Cailan. After a long time, Yang Cailan suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, muttering, ¡°Kiss, I want a kiss!¡± Liu Baishan thought that Yang Cailan had woken up when he was being held. However, she mumbled something and went back to sleep. Liu Baishan did not know what to say. He thought, ¡®Such a little girl. She wanted to kiss even in her dreams. How much did my wife like kissing?¡¯ Liu Baishan could not help but press his lips. The feeling he had when she kissed him before seemed to still be there. Actually, if Yang Cailan really wanted it, Liu Baishan would not reject her. ¡®Wait, Liu Baishan, what are you thinking about? That girl doesn¡¯t understand, but don¡¯t you understand these things? Since when did you give in to temptation?¡¯ Liu Baishan warned himself. After that, Liu Baishan lay beside Yang Cailan with his clothes on. He did not even lift the blanket. His blanket was really not big and could barely wrap around a person. Unless he held her in his arms, but in that case, he would not be able to sleep at all. As for Liu Baishan¡¯s hand, it was still held by Yang Cailan. He did not pry it away and silently accepted her action. He slowly closed his eyes. However, just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt someone roll into his arms! Liu Baishan could not help but admire Yang Cailan¡¯s sleeping posture. He thought, ¡®How did she do it? She was still able to find an opening to crawl into my arms without any hesitation? Like an octopus wrapping around me.¡¯ The most interesting thing was that no matter how Liu Baishan pushed Yang Cailan away, she would always roll back and cling to him! Liu Baishan did not know if it was because of his temper or something else, but he was already insensitive to it. If he continued to torment himself, he would not be able to sleep anymore. He had no choice but to hug Yang Cailan and slowly fall asleep while smelling the faint fragrance of the lotus. The next morning, Liu Baishan was not woken up by his biological clock, but by a kiss. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Cailan kissing him on the lips, again and again. ¡°Liu Baishan, you¡¯re awake? Then can we continue kissing?¡± Yang Cailan smiled and asked seriously. Liu Baishan, who had just been kissed repeatedly, was speechless. He thought, ¡®Was there a need to ask? Then what were you doing just now? Aren¡¯t we kissing? Was there any use in saying no?¡¯ Even so, Liu Baishan still bravely said, ¡°No!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan immediately stopped laughing when she heard Liu Baishan¡¯s rejection. She leaned on his chest and poked her little fingers around. She said, ¡°You¡¯re already my man. Why can¡¯t I kiss you? People said that we can kiss as much as we want after we get married. Aren¡¯t we married? Mother said that we are getting married today!¡± Yang Cailan thought that she had been cheated on, so she looked dissatisfied. Liu Baishan was speechless. Ever since he met Yang Cailan, he had been speechless. He reached out and wrapped his arms around Yang Cailan¡¯s waist, lifting her off his body. Then, he said seriously, ¡°We¡¯re not married yet! There¡¯s no wedding or registration!¡± Yang Cailan said angrily, ¡°Liar! You slept with me, and you still say you¡¯re not married? Then what was considered marriage? I think you just want to have fun and not admit it after that. I¡¯m going to tell Mother about this!¡± Because Yang Cailan did not get her golden light and she could only see but could not touch. She was filled with grievances and went out to look for Shui Xian without even wearing her shoes. As soon as the door was opened, Shui Xian, Dan Ruo, and Bai Feng almost fell to the ground. The three women supported each other and pretended to tidy up their clothes. They said, ¡°Haha, what a coincidence. You¡¯re up?¡± Yang Cailan did not think too much about it. She did not know that they had come to eavesdrop. Yang Cailan hugged Shui Xian and began to cry. But Shui Xian and the others did not eavesdrop for nothing. They heard everything. Shui Xian asked Dan Ruo to take care of Yang Cailan, then she took off her shoes and rushed in. Shui Xian shouted, ¡°Liu Baishan! I think you¡¯re out of your mind! Lan is such a good girl. You actually slept with her and did not admit it? How did our family raise such a jerk like you? Did you unlearn all the things you learned?¡± Liu Baishan joined the army when he was fifteen years old, and his mother never hit him after that. Now, he was completely stunned and could not fight back. He could only stand on the spot and be beaten by his mother. Shui Xian slapped Liu Baishan with her shoe and said, ¡°Did you knock your head very hard? If you don¡¯t intend to marry her, why are you sleeping in the same bed with her? Do you know how important a girl¡¯s reputation and integrity was? You had conducted a great sin! Don¡¯t just stand there! Hurry up and apologize to Lan!¡± Liu Baishan understood what his mother meant and did not argue further. He only said, ¡°I was wrong!¡± Shui Xian immediately stopped and pulled Liu Baishan to Yang Cailan, ¡°Lan, look, he knows his mistake! Let me tell you, he¡¯s just stupid. He definitely won¡¯t say such things in the future. I¡¯d give him an earful. Don¡¯t be angry now¡­¡± According to Shui Xian¡¯s usual temper, she naturally would not speak to a junior like that. But thought that Liu Baishan was indeed at fault this time and that Yang Cailan was really not a bad girl. Shui Xian worried that if Liu Baishan missed her, there would be no other girls like Yang Cailan. However, the premise was that she did not know that Liu Baishan had spent so much money to buy a wife. She only thought that he was doing a good deed and that Yang Cailan was really a good person, so she approved of him. Yang Cailan was not really angry at all. She thought of the women she had seen in the past who cried when they were wronged. As long as they cried, they would have everything. Yang Cailan wanted to give it a try. Now that the effect seemed to be quite good, she would have to use the method more often in the future! Yang Cailan stared at Liu Baishan with her big eyes and said, ¡°Then are we considered husband and wife?¡± Liu Baishan looked at Yang Cailan¡¯s big eyes and felt that if he said ¡°no¡±, she would cry immediately. So he said, ¡°Yes!¡± Yang Cailan smiled and opened her arms to Liu Baishan. She said, ¡°Then hug me!¡± Instantly, Liu Baishan¡¯s face turned red. He was really embarrassed in front of his family. However, seeing that Yang Cailan was about to cry again, he did not dare to refuse. Helplessly, he reached out and pulled Yang Cailan into his arms. ¡°Kiss me!¡± Yang Cailan raised her head and looked at Liu Baishan. But this time, Liu Baishan refused to cooperate because his whole family was watching! Yang Cailan was unhappy. She said, ¡°You already said that we are husband and wife, yet we can¡¯t kiss. Are you lying to me?¡± Liu Baishan had no choice but to comfort Yang Cailan, ¡°But there are people here¡­¡± Yang Cailan reacted and frowned at the others. Shui Xian and the others immediately understood. Those who looked at the sky looked at the sky, and those who looked at the earth looked at the earth. In any case, no matter how they looked, the others were not looking at them. Satisfied, Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan again. Liu Baishan was speechless. He thought, ¡®With such a wife, what could I do? I could just pamper her! Otherwise, it would definitely not end today.¡¯ Finally, Liu Baishan lowered his head and quickly kissed Yang Cailan¡¯s lips! If Yang Cailan had not been paying attention, she would have thought that Liu Baishan had not kissed her! She thought, ¡®How could I be satisfied with this? There wasn¡¯t even a golden light in my mouth. How could it be considered a kiss?¡¯ Therefore, Yang Cailan decided to do it herself. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Liu Baishan¡¯s neck, pulled his head down, tiptoed, and kissed him hard. The sound was a little loud¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The family, who had been trying their best to pretend to look at the sky and the earth, started coughing violently! Because they really did not expect it¡­ Dan Ruo covered her small face, flushed red with excitement. She was really too shy. As for Bai Feng, she secretly rolled her eyes and thought, ¡®These two were really shameless!¡¯ Shui Xian¡¯s face was flushed red. She thought, ¡®Young people are so passionate. Shouldn¡¯t they be considerate towards the elders¡¯ feelings?¡¯ Then, Shui Xian subconsciously glanced at the door. Although she did not mind that Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan were close, she could not let outsiders gossip. As for Liu Fu, the pillar of the family, he only had his hands behind his back and walked towards the backyard. As a man, he could not say anything. As for Yang Cailan, she did not care about that at all. She had no concept of not kissing. Now that she kissed Liu Baishan, a large ball of energy entered her body, and she felt comfortable from head to toe. Naturally, she hugged Liu Baishan and praised him, ¡°You¡¯re really amazing!¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. However, when it was time for breakfast, Yang Cailan stared at the food on the table and did not touch it for a long time. In fact, according to the farmers, the Liu family¡¯s breakfast was not bad. It was corn porridge with mustard and coriander. It was a wonderful breakfast, but fairies do not eat these. Liu Baishan noticed Yang Cailan¡¯s actions and asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yang Cailan looked at the bowl and said, ¡°I can¡¯t eat it!¡± Liu Baishan thought that it was too much, so he poured the soup from Yang Cailan¡¯s bowl into his own. Yang Cailan looked at it and took a small bite. She considered it as she finished her breakfast. After the meal, Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan were considered newlyweds. Shui Xian said, ¡°Take Lan out to buy two sets of clothes and some bedding. There isn¡¯t enough bedding at home. The two of you are already married so you should go buy some wedding candies for everyone!¡± Liu Baishan had no choice because Shui Xian was very insistent. However, Yang Cailan did not walk for long before her physical strength could not keep up. The body was indeed not bad but she was also a green lotus and did not walk in the past. It was really difficult for her to adapt now. Liu Baishan reached out to hold her hand and brought her to his side, hoping that Yang Cailan would not be so tired by his strength. Yang Cailan patted Liu Baishan¡¯s back and said, ¡°Carry me!¡± Liu Baishan looked around and finally squatted down. Yang Cailan did not feel embarrassed at all. She was in a much better mood. ¡°When there are people later, you have to walk by yourself!¡± Liu Baishan instructed, and Yang Cailan nodded in agreement. As for whether or not she listened to him, Liu Baishan was not sure. When the two of them passed by a mountain, Yang Cailan suddenly acted out of character and signaled Liu Baishan to put her down because she heard a voice. Following the sound, she walked to an old tree, pushed aside the grass, and reached out to grab a plant. ¡°What is this?¡± Liu Baishan did not know anything about medicinal herbs, so he thought Yang Cailan was pulling weeds for fun. Yang Cailan smiled and narrowed her eyes. She said, ¡°This herb is good to treat your scar. It is a very crucial one¡­¡± Yang Cailan did not expect her luck to be so good. Even with a human body, she could still hear the sound of plants. Just now, she heard the sound of this little herb. Yang Cailan carefully raised the purple gromwell in front of her and used her consciousness to communicate, threatening, ¡°Tell me the location of your other companions! Also, wild celery, astragalus root, don¡¯t try to lie to me. You can all communicate.¡± The purple gromwell was on the verge of tears. It had only been quarreling with its other little friends and it was discovered by humans. But, it did not want to tell. Yang Cailan started to pluck the purple gromwell¡¯s leaves. In the end, the purple gromwell could not take it anymore and told everything. Yang Cailan was very satisfied. She tugged at Liu Baishan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the other medicinal herbs!¡± Liu Baishan did not care, thinking that it was a child¡¯s nature. He was dragged along by Yang Cailan, but he soon found out what Yang Cailan wanted. If Liu Baishan had not followed her all the way, he would have thought that Yang Cailan was just teasing him. After Yang Cailan gathered all the medicinal herbs, Liu Baishan looked up at the sky and said, ¡°Are you still going to buy clothes?¡± It would definitely be dark by the time they arrived at the county town. Yang Cailan did not want to go to the county town either. She needed to go back and have a good chat with those herbs. She said, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. I still have clothes to wear.¡± Yang Cailan was carried on Liu Baishan¡¯s back when they were on their way home. Her small hands were touching Liu Baishan¡¯s face. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Liu Baishan asked helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m just checking how many herbs you need for your face.¡± Yang Cailan said seriously. Liu Baishan did not believe that she could do this at all. He just thought that she was joking. When they returned home, Shui Xian and the others had also returned. In the end, they saw that there was nothing in their baskets other than a few stalks of grass! Shui Xian asked, ¡°Where are the clothes?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan gave a simple explanation. Shui Xian sighed helplessly. She thought, ¡®Shan was still ignorant. If Lan didn¡¯t wear new clothes when she got married, she would be criticized by the neighbors.¡¯ After that, Shui Xian said, ¡°Forget it, go clean yourself up and come for dinner!¡± After dinner, Yang Cailan pulled Liu Baishan back to the room without saying anything. But when she closed the door, she thought for a moment and said to Shui Xian, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going back to my room with Liu Baishan to settle some matters. Don¡¯t follow us!¡± Shui Xian¡¯s face instantly turned red, but no matter how much she blushed, she still had to say a few more words to meet a straightforward daughter-in-law. Shui Xian said, ¡°It¡¯s not dark yet. You can do it when it¡¯s dark at night!¡± ¡°Liu Baishan, do we really need to check the time before we do something?¡± Yang Cailan wondered. Liu Baishan was already insensitive to Yang Cailan¡¯s words. He covered Yang Cailan¡¯s mouth and carried her into the room. The family looked at each other, then laughed crazily! Yang Cailan was carried into the house by Liu Baishan. She looked at his dark face and was very confused. However, she also understood that this was not the time to ask because Liu Baishan¡¯s appearance was really scary. She asked carefully, ¡°Did I say something wrong again?¡± Liu Baishan wanted to flare up but he did not know how to do it. In the end, he could only say bluntly, ¡°Don¡¯t talk like that in the future!¡± Yang Cailan nodded immediately. Seeing that the crisis was over, she pulled Liu Baishan to look at the plants she had picked today. She asked, ¡°Do you know what these are?¡± Liu Baishan replied, ¡°Just a few weeds? I know the wild celery, it was used to remove the meaty smell when we cook meat.¡± Yang Cailan was speechless. For the first time, she felt helpless. In the end, she gave up on explaining to Liu Baishan and pushed him out. She wanted to make her own ointment, so she should not be disturbed. Although Liu Baishan was suspicious of Yang Cailan, he respected her behavior. However, as soon as he went out of his room, he saw his eldest brother and father sizing him up. There was obvious disdain in their eyes. Liu Baishan was speechless. His family was too good at imagining things! He walked up to his father and asked, ¡°Father, I haven¡¯t had the time to ask you. Are you okay with what happened yesterday?¡± Liu Fu smoked and replied, ¡°What can we do? They didn¡¯t want to approve the engagement!¡± Liu Baihe also had a look of disdain. He said, ¡°That family wanted to get engaged because we gave them a lot of betrothal gifts. If it didn¡¯t work out, then forget it.¡± However, Liu Baishan felt uneasy. That family had suffered a loss, so they would definitely not let it go. However, Liu Baishan¡¯s words jinxed him. The next day, many people came to his house. Some of them were relatives and friends of the Liu family. The rest were the family members that almost became in-laws with Liu Baishan. However, this time, it was not just the mother and daughter who came. The whole family came. The Bai family now felt that the Liu family had ruined their daughter¡¯s reputation and wanted Liu Baishan to compensate them. Yang Cailan looked at the expressionless Liu Baishan and felt sorry for him. As a human, he was very powerful, but there were always people who liked to bully such good people. Thinking of that, Yang Cailan was a little unhappy. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Bai had no intention of letting her off! ¡°It¡¯s her. It was this wretched girl who attacked me the day before yesterday!¡± Mrs. Bai pointed at Yang Cailan with a face full of anger. She was not only here to ask for money but also to teach Yang Cailan a lesson. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Yang Cailan from Yellow River Village?!¡± Someone in the crowd shouted. Yang Cailan did not know who he was. In the previous host¡¯s memory, there was no such person! ¡°Didn¡¯t she jump into the river to die for her fianc¨¦?¡± Someone else added. Liu Baishan had already told his mother about Yang Cailan¡¯s situation, but now that someone had pointed it out, Shui Xian still felt embarrassed. She shouted at the man, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Are you blind? She was fine here. Why would she die for love? Lan is now the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. If anyone talks nonsense again, I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± Shui Xian was famous in the nearby villages. She was quite fierce and never suffered losses. ¡°I don¡¯t care about that. Your family ruined my daughter¡¯s reputation. I can¡¯t let you off just like that.¡± said Mrs. Bai as she stood in front of Shui Xian. She then glanced at Yang Cailan and said disdainfully, ¡°You dare to take in such a jinx?! With your son¡¯s appearance, even if he could live for a few more days, he would be affected to have a short life now!¡± Yang Cailan did not care what others said about her, but they could not talk bad about Liu Baishan. He was her life. Before Shui Xian could react, Yang Cailan slapped Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai immediately screamed. The people who were watching the show subconsciously covered their mouths. It was hurtful just looking at Mrs. Bai. Yang Cailan was small-sized, but her slaps landed heavily.

Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan looked at Mrs. Bai with a smile and said, ¡°Your tongue is too vicious. You will go to hell after you die. I hit you for your own good so that you won¡¯t have to suffer the pain of having your tongue pulled out.¡± Mrs. Bai reacted and reached out to grab Yang Cailan¡¯s face. Yang Cailan bent her back and dodged Mrs. Bai¡¯s hand. Then, Mrs. Bai fell to the ground because she used too much force. Although she did not knock her front teeth out directly, it made her teeth lose and blood gushed out. Everyone gasped when they saw that! ¡°All of you, attack and kill that little b*tch!¡± Mrs. Bai shouted. She would rather give up the money today than let Yang Cailan learn a lesson. Yang Cailan was still calm. Looking at the people rushing over, she asked with a smile, ¡°You guys are really strange. She clearly fell on her own, and I didn¡¯t even reach out my hand. Yet, you guys are going to bully me? As expected, vicious people couldn¡¯t be changed.¡± Shui Xian was originally a little unhappy because others said that Yang Cailan had died for love. However, no matter what Yang Cailan was like in the past, she was now a member of the Liu family and was still protecting the Liu family. It was enough to redeem herself. Shui Xian pulled Yang Cailan behind her and said, ¡°Make a move if you dare, I¡¯m not someone to be bullied!¡± The men of the Liu family stood out, including the villagers who came to watch the show. At this time, they definitely could not let outsiders bully them. ¡°The people of our village are not worthy of being bullied by the people of your village!¡± a group of men shouted at the outsiders. When Mrs. Bai saw that the people she brought were all cowards, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. She said, ¡°Liu family, all of you are b*stards! You ruined my daughter¡¯s reputation and you still don¡¯t want to compensate us? Do you think our villagers are easy to bully?¡± When those outsiders heard that, they thought that they had the moral high ground and immediately became more confident. Yang Cailan was protected in the middle, and her heart felt warm. In her previous life as a green lotus, only the old Taoist priest could communicate with her. No one else could see her at all. Now, with Shui Xian and the others protecting her, she felt that she had to do something. Therefore, when Yang Cailan saw someone attack Shui Xian, she immediately jumped up and kicked him. Yang Cailan shouted, ¡°Who said you could touch my mother? Come on, I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± Shui Xian was truly touched. At this moment, even her daughter-in-law, Yang Cailan and Dan Ruo were standing at the side. Shui Xian could feel Yang Cailan¡¯s sincerity. Shui Xian could not help but pat Liu Baishan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t treat Lan well in the future, I¡¯ll make Lan divorce you and abandon you!¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. He thought, ¡®I was also protecting you from the side. Why am I being despised by my own mother?¡¯ Yang Cailan immediately looked at Liu Baishan and said, ¡°Will you disown me?¡± Liu Baishan patted Yang Cailan¡¯s little head and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much!¡± Yang Cailan felt very comfortable and happy when Liu Baishan rubbed her head. When Mrs. Bai saw this, she immediately cursed, ¡°You little b*stard. When you were on a blind date with my daughter, you were already with another woman. You¡¯re even a soldier! I must go to your army and have a good chat with your leader!¡± Yang Cailan remembered that the old Taoist priest had once said that a person who spoke harshly was actually not capable at all. Yang CAilan pushed Liu Baishan away and wanted to charge out. However, she was once again held down by Liu Baishan. ¡°Mrs. Bai, our families did agree to consider the engagement and I came back because of this matter. You don¡¯t have to involve others. You were the one who said that you didn¡¯t want to get engaged the moment I entered the house. You were the one who despised that I might not live long! I don¡¯t mind since you¡¯re a woman, but if you want to pick a fight, I¡¯ll play along. Why don¡¯t you call the police and let the police handle it.¡± Upon hearing that, Mrs. Bai immediately cowered. She could only brace herself and say, ¡°I don¡¯t care. I know that your family is bullying people.¡± Liu Baishan wanted to say something, but Shui Xian said angrily, ¡°Save it! This kind of trashy person only cares about money!¡± As Shui Xian said that, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to continue fighting. Yang Cailan was also excited. Liu Baishan was speechless. He wondered, ¡®Why did Mother and Yang Cailan like to fight so much? They were clearly not tall, but their explosive power was so strong. Liu Baishan had no choice but to ask his father to keep an eye on Shui Xian while he held Yang Cailan in his arms. He then said to his cousins, ¡°Since they¡¯re unreasonable, then throw them out!¡± Liu Baishan¡¯s cousins admired him very much. When Liu Baishan spoke, everyone agreed. Yang Cailan, who was being carried by Liu Baishan, met the eyes of a woman. It was Mrs. Bai¡¯s daughter. ¡°He¡¯s so scary. Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Mrs. Bai¡¯s daughter could not help but ask.

Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan¡¯s side face. Yang Cailan did not know how to answer to make the girl understand that Liu Baishan was not scary, so Yang Cailan simply tiptoed and kissed Liu Baishan¡¯s scar. Yang Cailan said, ¡°He¡¯s very kind and not scary at all.¡± In the end, the girl¡¯s face turned pale in fright and she turned around to run. Yang Cailan was puzzled. Liu Baishan did not expect Yang Cailan to be so bold in front of so many people. Even the usually calm person¡¯s face turned red. Everyone in the village burst into laughter. Shui Xian was also a little embarrassed. However, the more Yang Cailan showed her affection for Liu Baishan, the more face Shui Xian got. Yang Cailan was indeed the daughter-in-law Shui Xian liked and Yang Cailan knew how to do things. Shui Xian happily said to her husband beside her, ¡°I remember that our mother passed down a gold bracelet to me back then. What do you think of giving it to Lan?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you even reluctant to give it to Bai Feng?¡± Liu Fu asked in shock. Shui Xian glared at Liu Fu. She could not believe that Liu Fu compared Bai Feng with Yang Cailan. Today, Bai Feng was only enjoying the show from the side, whereas Yang Cailan rushed over to protect Shui Xian. Although Shui Xian was fierce, she could tell who was good to her. ¡°Just you wait. In the future, it will definitely be Lan and Shan who will support us. Bai Feng and Baihe were fine, but we could forget about his wife!¡± said Shui Xian. Liu Fu did not say anything, but he agreed with her in his heart. However, if the bracelet was given to Yang Cailan and Bai Feng found out, Liu Fu knew Bai Feng would definitely make a fuss. He said, ¡°Then you can give it to Lan in private.¡± Shui Xian nodded. When everyone had left, Bai Feng quickly went to cook the meal. She also knew that she had not contributed much to today¡¯s matter. As for Dan Ruo, she pulled Yang Cailan¡¯s arm and praised her. Yang Cailan never knew what being shy meant, so she accepted it calmly and even discussed with Dan Ruo how to counterattack. As they were talking happily, they saw the courtyard door being pushed open. ¡°Grandmother, Mother, I¡¯m back!¡± A boy¡¯s voice that sounded like a duck¡¯s voice rang out. Then, Shui Xian hurriedly stood up and said, ¡°My good grandson is back!¡± ¡°Uncle Shan, why are you back?¡± Liu Dahu saw Liu Baishan standing in the courtyard and immediately ran over. He was very excited because Liu Baishan had always been his idol. Liu Baishan greeted, ¡°Mmm.¡± He reached out and rubbed Liu Dahu¡¯s head, revealing a rare smile. ¡°You¡¯ve grown taller!¡± Liu Dahu was a little embarrassed. Even though he had grown taller, he was still a little short in front of Liu Baishan. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan¡¯s hand with a look of condemnation. She thought, ¡®Liu Baishan actually used that hand to rub Liu Dahu¡¯s head. I thought that Liu Baishan would only rub my head!¡¯ Liu Dahu also saw Yang Cailan. He asked, ¡°Who is she? Is she your future wife?¡± Liu Baishan glanced at Yang Cailan, not knowing why she was angry, but he still nodded. ¡°Uncle Shan, is she an adult?¡± Liu Dahu frowned. Yang Cailan finally could not hold it in anymore. She grabbed Liu Baishan¡¯s hand and stuffed her small hand into his palm. She said, ¡°Of course I am, how else can we get married, little wimp!¡± Liu Dahu was speechless. Liu Baishan did not expect Yang Cailan to say that. The key was that he felt a little uncomfortable when she interlocked her fingers with him in front of the whole family. ¡°Who are you calling a little wimp? You¡¯re so short, and you¡¯re still jealous. Uncle Shan and I have been together for more than ten years. You can¡¯t compare!¡± said Liu Dahu. He was only 14 years old, and it was the time when he was rebellious. He was also very sensitive. When he saw Yang Cailan¡¯s actions, he immediately guessed the reason and mocked her back. Yang Cailan was very angry when Liu Dahu said that. She shook Liu Baishan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Your nephew bullied me!¡± Liu Dahu said, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel ashamed? You actually complained. Are you an adult or not?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong if I¡¯m an adult? I think you¡¯re jealous of me, little wimp!¡± Yang Cailan snorted coldly. Liu Baihe could not stand it anymore and pulled his son to the side. Liu Baishan could not resist Yang Cailan¡¯s longing eyes and comforted her, ¡°He¡¯s still a child!¡± Yang Cailan pointed at Liu Dahu and said, ¡°He¡¯s taller than me. If he¡¯s a child, then what am I? You¡¯re actually rubbing his head. Do you despise me? Do you not want me anymore?¡± Liu Baishan did not expect Yang Cailan to be so possessive, and he could not tell what he was feeling. He could only compromise and whispered to Yang Cailan, ¡°I¡¯ll only rub your head in the future!¡± Yang Cailan was no longer upset and Liu Dahu was speechless after that. Liu Dahu thought that it was over, but the blow had just begun. The next day, when the family was harvesting wheat, he saw Yang Cailan¡¯s malicious smile and immediately stepped back.

Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at Yang Cailan¡¯s smiling face, asking Liu Dahu if he was thirsty, Liu Dahu subconsciously raised his sickle and pointed it at Yang Cailan. He asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Yang Cailan immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, ¡°Liu Baishan, your nephew actually pointed his sickle at me. What did I do wrong?¡± Liu Baishan had just erected the last bundle of wheat. Seeing Liu Dahu¡¯s action, he reached out and took the sickle down. ¡°What are you doing? Do you think it¡¯s funny Auntie Lan?¡± Liu Dahu felt that he had been wronged. Yang Cailan stuck her tongue out at Liu Dahu, fearless. Liu Dahu complained, ¡°Uncle Shan, I seriously suspected that Auntie Lan drugged my drink.¡± Actually, Yang Cailan had indeed added some herbs to the water. She scooped a large spoonful of it into a large bowl and handed it to Liu Baishan. She said, ¡°I drugged it. Do you want to drink it?¡± Liu Baishan looked at the light green water, which smelled sweet and cool. Thinking that it should be herbal tea, he drank it directly. After drinking it, his entire body felt cool. It was completely incomparable to drinking cold water. In Liu Dahu¡¯s eyes, it was Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan who were trying to trick him. He wanted to resist, but Shui Xian slapped the back of Liu Dahu¡¯s head. ¡°Brat, drink it or don¡¯t!¡± said Shui Xian. Yang Cailan immediately handed the bowl to Shui Xian and explained, ¡°Mother, I made this with mint, honeysuckles, and licorice. I added a little honey so that it could help cool us down and relieve the heat!¡± Hearing Yang Cailan¡¯s words, Shui Xian felt that it was definitely delicious. Usually, they would not be so particular about drinking water. ¡°Grandma, Auntie Lan must be lying. How can we afford honey?¡± Liu Dahu tried his best to put on a show for Yang Cailan and was reprimanded by Shui Xian. Yang Cailan pointed at an old tree not far away and said, ¡°There¡¯s a beehive up there. I asked the old tree for some when I passed by.¡± Liu Dahu laughed, ¡°You can communicate with the tree? Oh my, you¡¯re so funny!¡± Yang Cailan frowned and thought, ¡®This little brat was so annoying!¡¯ She shook Liu Baishan¡¯s arm and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t lie!¡± Liu Baishan also wanted to ask how Yang Cailan got it from the old tree. However, when he met Yang Cailan¡¯s gaze, he felt that if he said he didn¡¯t believe it, Yang Cailan would definitely cry. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s a brat. He needs to be taught a lesson!¡± ¡°Uncle Shan, you¡¯ve changed!¡± Liu Dahu exclaimed. Liu Baishan nodded and touched his face. He said, ¡°I did change.¡± Liu Dahu was furious. He thought, ¡®Was he referring to his face? This was starting to make no sense!¡¯ Liu Dahu was so angry that he wanted to leave, but he was so thirsty that he poured himself a bowl and drank it in one gulp. Somehow, he realized that the drink was delicious. ¡°Dahu, didn¡¯t you say the drink is drugged? Why are you drinking it now?¡± Yang Cailan asked. Liu Dahu said, ¡°Just wait. I¡¯ll settle the score with you if anything happens to me!¡± Yang Cailan replied with an ¡°oh¡± and did not say anything else. This made Liu Dahu feel very strange. He suspected, ¡®Auntie Lan¡¯s personality did not seem like she would not reply.¡¯ Liu Dahu stuck his head out and leaned in front of Yang Cailan. He wondered, ¡®Was she crying because of me?¡¯ As soon as Liu Dahu reached his head out, Yang Cailan pinched his ears. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Liu Dahu immediately shouted. Yang Cailan said,¡± That¡¯s right. Now tell me, did I ask the old tree for the honey?¡± Liu Dahu paused. He pondered, ¡®Isn¡¯t her focus a little too strange?¡¯ After teaching Liu Dahu a lesson, Yang Cailan also began to work. She held the wheat ear and followed behind Liu Baishan like a little tail. ¡°Why do we have to go through so much trouble? I can make them come out on their own.¡± Yang Cailan pointed at the wheat in the field and said seriously. She knew these wheat were very obedient. They will do what they were told, such as peeling off the seeds themselves, it was very easy. She could not understand why they had to harvest the wheat. Liu Baishan thought that Yang Cailan was bored. After all, wheat could not come out on its own. He happened to see a black nightshade on the ground. He plucked it off and placed it in Yang Cailan¡¯s hand. He said, ¡°For you to eat. I¡¯ll continue with the work. I still have to finish collecting this piece of land today!¡± Yang Cailan had no choice but to eat the fruit. She heard a scream as soon as she ate one. She immediately squatted down and followed the sound. Liu Dahu happened to see it and thought that Yang Cailan must be lazy. He had to catch her and followed behind her with the sickle. Not long after, Liu Dahu heard Yang Cailan say to someone, ¡°Stop them.¡± The next second, Yang Cailan stood up and smiled, ¡°I caught it!¡± Liu Dahu poked his head out and saw that Yang Cailan had caught a nest of wild rabbits!

Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°How did you do it?¡± Liu Dahu asked as he was too shocked. Just as Yang Cailan was thinking about how to catch the rabbit, she heard Liu Dahu¡¯s voice. She said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s based on my ability!¡± Liu Dahu did not believe Yang Cailan¡¯s words. He had seen Yang Cailan¡¯s actions just now. She was just here to pull the grass away! If he had known earlier, he would have come over first. Then he would not have missed catching these rabbits. Yang Cailan said, ¡°I¡¯ve caught the rabbits. You¡¯re responsible for tying them up and bringing them back. We can have meat tonight!¡± Speaking of meat, Liu Dahu gulped. Anyone would be happy if they could eat a bite of meat at this time. For the sake of the meat, Liu Dahu did not dawdle. When he raised his head and was about to ask Yang Cailan to carry two rabbits, he saw that Yang Cailan had already jumped to Liu Baishan¡¯s side and was vividly describing the process of catching those rabbits. Liu Dahu was speechless. Liu Baishan was also surprised to see the four wild rabbits in his nephew¡¯s hands. He did not expect Yang Cailan to be so lucky. He only said to Yang Cailan, ¡°Very impressive!¡± Yang Cailan was very satisfied. She said, ¡°Can I have a reward then?¡± Yang Cailan had been coveting the golden light on Liu Baishan¡¯s body for a long time. She had not kissed him for a day. Liu Baishan¡¯s face was a little red. There were still many people harvesting wheat around¡­ Yang Cailan did not care about that. Seeing that Liu Baishan did not refuse, she took it as a yes. She grabbed onto his clothes and made him bend over and lower his head. She leaned forward and kissed him. Yang Cailan was satisfied with just one kiss. She exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Although Yang Cailan was speaking softly, Liu Baishan, who was standing beside her, and Liu Dahu, who had come to argue with Yang Cailan, heard everything. Liu Dahu, who had just become a teenager, had never seen such a scene before. He was dumbfounded. The rabbit in his hand fell to the ground and he said, ¡°A-Aren¡¯t you ashamed?!¡± Liu Dahu¡¯s face turned red. Yang Cailan was feeling very comfortable now, and when she saw that Liu Dahu was not angry, she said, ¡°Little wimp, it¡¯s useless even if you¡¯re envious!¡± Liu Dahu said furiously, ¡°What are you doing in broad daylight? Uncle Shan, aren¡¯t you going to do something about it?¡± Liu Baishan pointed at the rabbit at Liu Dahu¡¯s feet and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t catch it, it¡¯ll run away!¡± Only then did Liu Dahu notice that the rabbit on the ground had already kicked away the tied weeds and hurriedly went to grab it. When he looked for Yang Cailan again, she had already run to Shui Xian¡¯s side and was talking about the wild rabbits she found. Shui Xian was overjoyed and did not care about Yang Cailan not helping. Shui Xian said, ¡°Tell Bai Feng to go back and cook the rabbit. We¡¯ll all eat meat today!¡± Yang Cailan nodded vigorously and said, ¡°Mother, you¡¯re the best. I¡¯ll go to the ditch tomorrow to see if there¡¯s any fish. Let¡¯s have fish soup!¡± When Liu Dahu heard that, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re bragging. Why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself and see if you can really do it?¡± Yang Cailan pointed at Liu Dahu and complained to Shui Xian, ¡°Mother, look at Dahu. Does he not like me? He¡¯s always targeting me!¡± Liu Dahu could not believe his ears. This time, before Shui Xian could do anything, Bai Feng pinched Liu Dahu and said, ¡°You little wimp. She got those meats for you and you are still ingrateful! Apologize to Auntie Lan now!¡± Liu Dahu was speechless. It was too difficult for him! In the evening, Yang Cailan took out the ointment she had prepared and said, ¡°I¡¯ve made this for you. I¡¯ll apply the medicine on you today. In less than seven days, the scar on your face will peel off and new flesh will grow. After that, your skin will return to normal.¡± Liu Baishan did not have any expectations for the ointment in Yang Cailan¡¯s hand. He knew very well how his face looked. However, this was Yang Cailan¡¯s kind gesture, so he still accepted it. Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan were talking in the room when someone knocked on the door in the courtyard. Not long after, she heard Shui Xian quarreling with someone. Yang Cailan immediately became curious and pulled Liu Baishan out to take a look. When Liu Baishan and Yang Cailan reached the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Dahu pulled them back and said, ¡°Don¡¯t go over!¡± Yang Cailan was confused. Before she could ask, Liu Baishan said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the house first!¡± ¡°Dan Ruo, what¡¯s going on outside?¡± Yang Cailan asked her directly. Dan Ruo did not know how to explain, but Liu Dahu helped to explain. Actually, it was not a big deal, but it was troublesome. Liu Fu was not the eldest in the family. He was the third child in the Liu family. He had an elder brother, an elder sister, and two younger sisters. Liu Fu¡¯s parents naturally lived with their eldest son, who was Liu Fu¡¯s elder brother. As a son, Liu Fu had to provide his parents with food every year. However, ever since his parents were in poor health, his sister-in-law had encouraged his eldest brother to come to Liu Fu¡¯s house to cause trouble. They felt that Liu Fu was not paying enough¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation However, when the Liu family split up, Liu Fu left all the good things in the house to his eldest brother. His parents also relied on their eldest son, so it was enough for Liu Fu to provide them food. Now that the parents were sick, Liu Fu¡¯s brother kept asking for money from him. In the beginning, Liu Fu had given them money, but as time went by, his brother asked for more and more. Liu Fu was not a fool. Moreover, the money might not be used on his parents. Today was the day Liu Fu came to ask for money again. His brother and his family were here. They probably saw Liu Baishan coming back and wanted to morally blackmail him. Yang Cailan could not bear to see Liu Baishan being bullied. She said, ¡°Your method is not good, this kind of person can not be reasonable!¡± ¡°Shan, you¡¯re so knowledgeable. Now that your grandparents are sick, don¡¯t you think your family should pay for it?¡± Liu Dage was squatting on the big bluestone slab at the door, smoking a pipe. Instead of asking Liu Fu, Liu Dage asked Liu Baishan. Liu Baihe wanted to say something, but he was stopped by his wife. At this time, she could not let her husband go. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. Liu Baishan replied, ¡°Yes!¡± Liu Dage grinned, pointed at Liu Fu, and said, ¡°Fu, did you hear that?¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife shouted, ¡°Since he said you¡¯ll pay, then pay it now!¡± Liu Baishan added, ¡°We¡¯ll take care of our grandparents. You don¡¯t have to pay for their treatment.¡± Liu Dage¡¯s face stiffened as he stared at Liu Baishan. He said, ¡°Shan, are you backbiting me?¡± Liu Baishan said, ¡°You have no back for me to bite!¡± Liu Dage scolded angrily, ¡°Shan, I see that you¡¯re a junior, so I won¡¯t argue with you. Do you really think you¡¯re something? Let me tell you, you have to pay for this money today, even if you don¡¯t want to!¡± As soon as Liu Dage finished shouting, his head was hit by a shoe. Yang Cailan walked up to Liu Baishan and made sure that he was not hurt. She then let out a sigh of relief, ¡®Liu Baishan is my precious. He was still perfect and shining brightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to come over?¡± said Liu Baishan. He was afraid that Yang Cailan would be bullied by these people. Yang Cailan said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Besides, you¡¯re my husband. This old man is forcing you to do something. I won¡¯t agree to that.¡± After saying that, Yang Cailan told Liu Baishan not to get involved. She walked in front of Liu Da and suddenly smiled. She said, ¡°So, you¡¯re Shan¡¯s uncle? You¡¯re so handsome, just like the clown in those operas!¡± As soon as the clown appeared, some of the fans who liked the opera immediately laughed. Liu Dage did not expect Yang Cailan to have such a sharp tongue. Liu Dage was not very interested in the opera and only thought that Yang Cailan was really saying that he was handsome. He revealed a rare smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re the wife that Shan just brought back home?¡± ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t you think Liu Baishan and I are a good match?¡± Yang Cailan nodded. ¡°You two are a match indeed.¡± Liu Dage nodded. Yang Cailan was elated. She subconsciously glanced at Liu Baishan. Then, she continued to look at Liu Dage happily. She said, ¡°Uncle, since you acknowledge me and Liu Baishan so much, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll agree. You should listen to Liu Baishan¡¯s words. It wasn¡¯t easy for your parents to give birth to you and raise you. Don¡¯t spend your entire life leeching on them. Your parents are almost out of money. Unfilial people will certainly end up in hell¡­¡± Liu Dage felt that he had embarrassed himself in front of a junior, so he immediately put on a serious face and said, ¡°Fu, what kind of wife did your son get married into? Did she know any manners? Doesn¡¯t she know how to respect her elders?¡± Liu Baishan rubbed Yang Cailan¡¯s head and said, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Yang Cailan smiled and said to Liu Dage, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m very good at talking. It¡¯s your ears that aren¡¯t working well. When a person became old, his body would not be as good as before. Other than his brain not working well, his ears might also be deaf. How tragic!¡± ¡°Shan!!!¡± Liu Dage shouted at Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan pulled Yang Cailan behind him and met his uncle¡¯s gaze, ¡°Lan is a very good girl!¡± Liu Dage was so angry that he pointed at the person for a long time without saying anything. In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood! Liu Dage¡¯s wife panicked and took him away, but when she left, her eyes showed that she would not let Yang Cailan get away with this! The villagers had a new understanding of Yang Cailan. They thought that they should never provoke Yang Cailan in the future. She was too glib with her words. She could make people vomit blood! Yang Cailan saw that she had chased the troublemakers away, so she immediately ran to Liu Baishan to claim the credit. She asked, ¡°How is it? Reward me with a kiss!¡± But this time, Yang Cailan was unable to kiss Liu Baishan, and her sneak attack was unsuccessful! Yang Cailan looked at Dan Ruo who was squatting in the corner and asked, ¡°Do you know why Shan won¡¯t let me kiss him?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Dan Ruo¡¯s face was flushed red and she was very curious. She asked, ¡°Lan, why do you like to kiss Shan so much?¡± Yang Cailan sighed, ¡°He¡¯s delicious!¡± Dan Ruo¡¯s face turned even redder. She knew Liu Baishan was such a fierce person and could not understand how Yang Cailan found him delicious. Regarding that point, Dan Ruo did not have time to continue thinking about it, because the people outside had once again caused a ruckus. Just now, Yang Cailan had angered Dan Ruo¡¯s uncle, but that didn¡¯t mean that they would not retaliate. It was just that Dan Ruo did not expect that they would counterattack so quickly! Liu Dage¡¯s family had directly moved Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu over. One had to know that seniority was the highest! The children could not fight against their parents. Dan Ruo shrank her neck in fear when she saw her grandparents. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are Grandpa and Grandma very fierce?¡± asked Yang Cailan. She thought of the old women who often went to offer incense in her previous life. They were quite mighty and basically had a say in the family. Dan Ruo nodded and said, ¡°Grandma is biased. Grandpa is even more excessive. They are all biased towards the eldest son, Uncle Dage¡¯s family.¡± The two old elders were carried over on bamboo chairs, and they seemed to be seriously ill. An old lady spoke, ¡°Liu Fu, just say the word. Are you going to give me the money or not?¡± Shui Xian¡¯s neck stiffened and said, ¡°We don¡¯t have the money!¡± The old lady opened her mouth and began to curse, ¡°I think you¡¯re just trying to piss me off! I¡¯m asking my son. You don¡¯t have the right to shout! Are all your men dead? You said you don¡¯t have money? Who would believe that? You were rich when they married you, but you don¡¯t have money to treat your in-laws? Are you heartless? What sin did the Liu family commit to having a daughter-in-law like you!¡± The old lady slapped her thigh as she pointed at Shui Xian and cursed. Shui Xian was so angry that her face turned pale, but there was nothing she could do. It was not that she did not want to refute, but she was indeed her daughter-in-law. She still had some dignity. If she scolded her mother-in-law like that, the Liu family¡¯s reputation would be tarnished and her daughter could not be married into a good family in the future. Old Mrs. Liu did not care about that. She was just making a scene. Then, she pointed at her old man and shouted, ¡°Look at your father. He¡¯s about to die. His son didn¡¯t even want to give him money to see a doctor. What¡¯s the use of raising a son?¡± To comply with the old lady¡¯s words, the old man coughed a few times, as if he was about to die at any moment. Shui Xian opened her mouth to argue, but Liu Fu stopped her, indicating that she did not need to say anything. Anyway, no matter what they said, it was useless. It made Shui Xian feel so wronged that she wanted to cry. Although she was shrewish, she was quite attentive to her parents-in-law. Shui Xian did not understand why they would do that to her. Yang Cailan was confused. She said, ¡°Your grandparents look so weird. It feels like our father isn¡¯t their biological son!¡± Dan Ruo sighed, ¡°Lan, you¡¯re wrong. Uncle Dage is not the biological son of my grandfather and grandmother. I don¡¯t know why they are so biased towards their biological son and adopted son¡­¡± Yang Cailan was shocked she thought humans care about bloodlines more than anything. She did not understand why this family was so strange. Dan Ruo did not hide anything from Yang Cailan and told her directly. In fact, this was also a feudal superstition, because grandfather and grandmother had never had children in their early years. Then, they met a wandering Taoist priest. That Taoist priest pointed at Liu Dage and said that he would be a promising child. If they raised him, their family would prosper, and the promising child would always be filial. Yang Cailan was speechless. It was very laughable to her. Even if the Taoist priest was fooling people, those people had to be stupid enough to believe his words. The debate outside continued. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan, who had once again become a tool in the background. She was really out of place with these people. She always felt that he was a judge. She looked at Liu Baishan with her hands on her cheeks. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became. Dan Ruo also noticed Yang Cailan¡¯s appearance. Dan Ruo looked at Yang Cailan, then at Liu Baishan, unable to understand how Liu Baishan looked good. He was scary and aggressive at the same time. Of course, Liu Baishan noticed Yang Cailan¡¯s gaze, but he lowered his eyes. He was not sure what he was thinking. Just as Liu Dage¡¯s wife was about to attack Shui Xian, the battle finally reached its climax. Yang Cailan could not wait any longer and jumped out of her room. Dan Ruo definitely did not want to go. She was most afraid of this kind of thing. But Yang Cailan was not afraid. She could not bear to see the person she liked get hurt. Yang Cailan had just seen a woman scratching Liu Baishan¡¯s neck when he was trying to stop her! Yang Cailan could not even bear to scratch him. She definitely would not let these people off!

Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan rushed out angrily. Soon, Yang Cailan pulled Shui Xian and Liu Baishan out of the fight. Because too many people had joined in just now, it had already turned into a chaotic battle. No one had noticed that Shui Xian, who was the main combat force, had already retreated. ¡°Mother, let¡¯s enjoy the show. Lan can handle it alone!¡± Dan Ruo handed Shui Xian a cup of tea. What Dan Ruo did not mention was that she felt that if she went up, she would drag Yang Cailan down. Dan Ruo was considerate, and Yang Cailan was sensible. Looking at Bai Feng who was hiding at the side watching the show made Shui Xian even angrier. The sip of water Shui Xian had just drunk could not suppress her anger. Yang Cailan did not know that she had risen to another level in Shui Xian¡¯s heart. Yang Cailan asked Liu Baishan, ¡°How did you get scratched by a bad woman? Does it hurt? My heart aches so much. You have to give me some comfort.¡± Liu Baishan seemed to be able to predict what Yang Cailan would say next. Sure enough, Yang Cailan said excitedly, ¡°So give me a kiss as a consolation!¡± Liu Baishan rejected, ¡°No!¡± Yang Cailan was very depressed. This was the second time she had been rejected by Liu Baishan today. Dan Ruo really wanted to laugh because Yang Cailan was really too funny. However, seeing Yang Cailan sulking, Dan Rup still comforted her, ¡°Lan, Shan must be feeling embarrassed!¡± Yang Cailan immediately perked up and asked, ¡°Really?¡± Dan Ruo nodded and said, ¡°Shan is usually very serious. Now that you¡¯re asking him to kiss you in front of so many people, he must be shy!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to my room and ask for a kiss!¡± Yang Cailan nodded. Dan Ruo said, ¡°Lan, you really do like to kiss.¡± Suddenly, Dan Ruo was a little envious of Liu Baishan for having such a well-behaved wife like Yang Cailan. At this moment, the village chief came over and was mediating the conflict outside. In the old village chief¡¯s opinion, the Old Mr. and Mrs. Liu were really irrational. The family had already been separated, but they still came to torture their own son. He wondered if there was something wrong with their brains. But since they were not feeling well, this matter definitely could not be taken lightly. In the end, Liu Fu still had to fork out some money, but it had to be the same amount as Li u Dage¡¯s. Moreover, this money had to be paid when they went to see a doctor. Yang Cailan had no opinion on the matter, and the rest of the Liu family members had no choice but to accept it. ¡°Why must I follow? If we really want to talk about it, my husband isn¡¯t the old lady¡¯s biological son. It¡¯s already fine to take care of them for so many years. Now that they¡¯re sick, we¡¯ll raise them while their biological son watches from the side, how is that fair?¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife refused. She had originally wanted money so that she could get some benefits, but now that she could not get any, she did not want to take care of the old couple anymore. As soon as the words left her mouth, Old Mrs. Liu did not react and wanted to agree. However, when Liu Fu voiced up, ¡°Do you mean that you don¡¯t want to care about your in-laws in the future? Isn¡¯t that right?¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife did not care so much. Of course, she was not a fool. She said, ¡°Fu, I don¡¯t know what you meant. We will definitely support Father and Mother, but Father and Mother have lived with us for so many years. It¡¯s time for you to be filial.¡± As soon as Liu Dage¡¯s wife finished speaking, someone shouted, ¡°Then let¡¯s give up the old residence and redistribute it! There¡¯s no reason for us to take turns to take care of the elderly. You can live in this house with your family.¡± Yang Cailan stood outside the crowd and said directly. Dan Ruo, who was beside her, hurriedly pulled her back. Dan Ruo had just mentioned this matter to Yang Cailan, and Yang Cailan had shouted it out. Dan Ruo was really afraid that Yang Cailan would be bullied. Yang Cailan was not afraid. She did not care about Liu Dage¡¯s family anymore. In fact, Dan Ruo said too little. Most of the story was told to Yang Cailan by an old tree beside her. If the old couple did not do anything, then Liu Dage was even worse. Yang Cailan was afraid that Liu Baishan would agree and make Shui Xian feel bad, so she stood up and shouted this time. ¡°Shan, are you going to let your wife talk like that? What was the point of buying her?¡± said Liu Dage. He despised Yang Cailan. Yang Cailan walked closer and looked at Liu Dage. According to the old Taoist priest, Liu Dage had an ugly and scheming face. He was not a person with a long life. If he lived past 50 years old, then he would have taken over someone else¡¯s luck, which was even worse. He would be punished after he died. ¡°Uncle Dage, listen to my advice. Many are watching what you are doing. One who is unjust is doomed to destruction.¡± Yang Cailan thought that she was being kind, but after Liu Dage heard that, he was so angry that his fingers started trembling. He picked up the sole of his shoe and threw it at Yang Cailan. Liu Dahu suddenly ran out and caught the shoe with a big ladle that scoop manure. ¡°Granduncle Dage, what are you doing? Throwing a good pair of shoes into the manure, squandering things. No wonder Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma were abused by you and fell sick! Everyone says that it¡¯s a thief to be old and not die. You must be afraid that Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma won¡¯t die, so you want to leave them in our house, right?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Liu Dahu finished speaking, he threw Liu Dage¡¯s shoes which were stained with feces at him and ran away. He was not stupid. If he stood still, he would definitely be taught a lesson. Liu Dage was so angry that he shouted at his son, ¡°Catch that little b*stard. I¡¯m going to kill him!¡± Yang Cailan secretly gave Liu Dahu a thumbs-up. Seeing that he was so hardworking, she decided to treat him better in the future. Liu Dahu proudly raised his eyebrows. Bai Feng and Dan Ruo were at a loss for words after witnessing the entire thing. ¡°You guys are so schemeful. Even a child like Dahu was able to see through your plan! Let me tell you, it¡¯s not a problem for us to take care of our parents. You have to move out from the old mansion, whoever takes care of them can live there!¡± said Shui Xian. She did not care about anything else. Since Yang Cailan and Liu Dahu had already paved the way for Shui Xian. If Shui Xian did not make good use of the opportunity, she would write her name upside down! ¡°In your dreams! The old mansion is for us! Whoever dares to snatch it from me, I¡¯ll fight with my life!¡± However, after Liu Dage¡¯s wife shouted, she saw her mother-in-law looking at her in shock. She hurriedly explained, ¡°Mother, I didn¡¯t mean it that way. The old mansion definitely belongs to you and Father. It will only be ours after you pass away¡­¡± Old Mrs. Liu squinted. She was old, but she was not stupid. She asked her eldest son directly, ¡°Dage, what do you think?¡± Yang Cailan saw that Liu Dage was silent and said, ¡°Do you even need to ask? I also hope that the two of you will die soon so that they can completely occupy the old mansion! That¡¯s a mansion!¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife wanted to beat up Yang Cailan, but it was obviously not the time. Liu Dage¡¯s wife hurriedly explained to her mother-in-law, ¡°Mother, I can explain. I really didn¡¯t mean it that way.¡± Yang Cailan said to Dan Ruo deliberately, ¡°Let me tell you, when people say ¡®I can explain¡¯, it¡¯s because she can¡¯t explain it, you know? If she really had a reason, she would have just said it. There was no need to explain!¡± Dan Ruo was speechless. Liu Baishan could not stand it anymore. He was afraid that Yang Cailan would anger the others to death. He quickly pulled her behind him and held her head so that she would not be discovered by so many people. Yang Cailan had no idea what was going on, but she subconsciously rubbed her head against Liu Baishan¡¯s palm and smiled foolishly at him, wishing she could kiss him again! Liu Baishan¡¯s heart softened. Dan Ruo was speechless. She suddenly wanted to find a partner to get married to¡­ Liu Baishan whispered to Yang Cailan, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± From Yang Cailan¡¯s perspective, what she understood was, ¡°Stay by my side and be good.¡± Therefore, she reached out and hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s waist. She snuggled in his arms obediently and looked at the crowd quietly with her big eyes. Liu Baishan was dumbfounded. He could not understand how his wife hugged him so casually. The crowd had already noticed Yang Cailan. When she was looking at them, they were also looking at her and whispering to each other. ¡°Such a beautiful girl!¡± ¡°Why is such a good girl with Shan? What a waste.¡± ¡°But she¡¯s too bold. She even voiced up on such an occasion¡­¡± ¡­ Yang Cailan did not care about these discussions. After all, she was a green lotus in her previous life and listened to them every day. However, Liu Baishan heard it. He held back the words that he wanted Yang Cailan to stand properly. Instead, he helped her tidy her hair so that she could see the situation outside better. He wanted to let these people see that she could speak whatever she wanted. Moreover, he would show them she was worthy of being his wife. At this time, under the joint efforts of Yang Cailan and Liu Dahu, Liu Dage¡¯s wife started to curse at her mother-in-law. Only now did everyone realize that not only Old Mrs. Liu could move, but she also had a lot of strength! Old Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Dage¡¯s wife¡¯s hair and slapped her loudly! Old Mrs. Liu scolded, ¡°I¡¯m not dead yet, and you¡¯re already thinking about my possessions! When you serve me tea every day, do you hope that we will die in our every breath? I was wondering why you kept saying that you couldn¡¯t live in the house anymore. It seems that you want us to die and make room for you. I¡¯ll beat you to death, you ingrateful w*nch.¡± Old Mrs. Liu was also a shrew when she was young. Otherwise, she would not have suppressed her sons. Liu Dage¡¯s wife¡¯s face was swollen from the slap. Yang Cailan felt her heartache as she looked at Liu Dage¡¯s wife. Then, she whispered, ¡°Liu Baishan, do you think I should go and help Grandma? Her hand must be hurting from hitting that person like that, right?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan held Yang Cailan¡¯s little head and said. ¡°I don¡¯t need your help. They are all elders and only an elder can be involved. Don¡¯t interfere.¡± Yang Cailan understood immediately. She pulled Liu Baishan¡¯s head and kissed him on the lips. She took a breath of her precious baby and immediately got out of his arms to look for Shui Xian, leaving behind a crowd of exclamations. ¡°This newlywed girl really doesn¡¯t know shame!¡± said those older women. After all, in this era, one could not kiss a man on the street casually. ¡°Why is Shan so blessed?¡± These were the words of those young men who were envious. After all, Yang Cailan was beautiful. ¡°How could she kiss him so directly¡­¡± Some of the girls were complaining shyly. They were embarrassed to see that. In short, with a kiss, the whole village knew that Liu Baishan¡¯s wife was a brave and beautiful girl. Of course, she was also shameless. Yang Cailan did not care about those comments at all, let alone Liu Baishan¡¯s flushed face. She tugged at Shui Xian¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Mother, let¡¯s go help!¡± Shui Xian was puzzled. She asked, ¡°What help?¡± Yang Cailan quickly said, ¡°This is a critical moment for us to gain favor. Think about it, taking care of grandma doesn¡¯t consume much food. You have to give it to her every year! I see that Grandpa and Grandma are still agile. They look like they have a long life! Mother, believe me. They will definitely be able to live for a few more years. Let Grandpa and Grandma change their views on us. In the future, we won¡¯t have to be suppressed by Uncle Dage¡¯s family with filial piety.¡± Hearing Yang Cailan¡¯s analysis, Shui Xian was immediately tempted. In an instant, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and rushed toward the battlefield. ¡°This is your fault. You actually angered Mother. Mother dotes on you so much.¡± Shui Xian shouted and slapped Liu Dage¡¯s wife. Yang Cailan secretly used her strength to make Liu Dage¡¯s wife unable to move, so she could only passively take the beating. Yang Cailan even helped by shouting, ¡°Grandma, are you tired? I¡¯ll support you, and Mother will help you hold down that woman!¡± Shui Xian also shouted loudly, ¡°Mother, Lan is right. You do it. I¡¯ll hold her down.¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife was furious, but she could not handle it at all. She immediately cursed, ¡°Old hag!¡± Old Mrs. Liu had just calmed down and immediately flared up. She said, ¡°I¡¯ll beat you to death, you wretched woman!¡± ¡°What are they trying to do? Are they trying to kill me? Son, I¡¯m going to be beaten to death!¡± When Liu Dage¡¯s wife saw that her child had finally come over, she cried out in grievance. However, Liu Dage¡¯s wife had obviously forgotten that the main force that had attacked today was Old Mrs. Liu. No one would dare to stop Old Mrs. Liu from teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson. Old Mrs. Liu said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask Dage to divorce you today! You w*nch!¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife fell silent. She was wondering how she could live without her husband at such an old age. And Liu Dage did not want to do that. He said, ¡°Mother, what are you doing? We had agreed to come here and ask Fu for the money to treat your illness.¡± They had planned the whole thing and it suddenly changed. Liu Dage was doing well with his wife and did not want a divorce. Yang Cailan pursed her lips as she listened. This uncle of hers was really something. He actually dared to scheme against Old Mrs. Liu so confidently. He was such a shameless person. Yang Cailan poked Liu Baishan beside her and said, ¡°I don¡¯t like that uncle of yours at all.¡± Liu Baishan just rubbed Yang Cailan¡¯s little head as a form of recognition. After all, it was hard to like such an uncle. Liu Dahu also said, ¡°I hate Granduncle Dage too. He¡¯s so calculative. He¡¯s simply using our family as his slaves.¡± Yang Cailan nodded. She could also tell that her uncle had taken advantage of Liu Baishan¡¯s family¡¯s fortune to survive. Even so, Liu Dage still wanted to leech on Liu Baishan¡¯s family. He was too evil. ¡°The main source of the issue was from Grandpa and Grandma. Dahu, let¡¯s come up with a plan,¡± said Yang Cailan as she popped her little head out of Liu Baishan¡¯s arms and went behind Liu Dahu to discuss with him. Liu Dahu looked at the expressionless Liu Baishan, then at Yang Cailan. Liu Dahu pondered, ¡®Aren¡¯t this couple a little too harmonious? There were so many people here. Was it really okay to just hug and kiss each other like this? Don¡¯t they care what other people think?¡¯ ¡°What do you have in mind?¡± Liu Dahu could not help but ask because the suggestion was too tempting. He really wanted to get rid of that branch of the family. Yang Cailan smiled and narrowed her eyes. She said, ¡°Let¡¯s think of a way to get your Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma to kick your Granduncle and his family out. Then, we can use love to influence them. How about that?¡± ¡°Use love to influence? Are you dreaming? If Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma could bear to do so, would our family have been suppressed for so many years?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan did not care what Liu Dahu said. She immediately turned and said, ¡°Liu Baishan, I¡¯m going to find Mother.¡± Liu Baishan¡¯s face had been trained. With his wife in his arms, he could ignore the gazes of the people around him. However, he looked down at Yang Cailan and did not say anything. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan and wondered if he was waiting for a kiss. She did not hesitate and tiptoed and kissed him. Seeing that his face was even redder, she took the opportunity to run away while he was in a daze. Liu Baishan¡¯s face darkened. Yang Cailan did not know that she had made Liu Baishan feel depressed again. She happily went up to Shui Xian and watched her grandmother torture her aunt. ¡°Mother, do you want her to never be able to show off in front of you again?¡± Yang Cailan asked softly. Shui Xian had complete trust in Yang Cailan now. Shui Xian immediately nodded and said, ¡°Even in my dreams.¡± Yang Cailan whispered something into Shui Xian¡¯s ear, and her eyes lit up. Then, Shui Xian walked up to Old Mrs. Liu and said with a heartache expression, ¡°Mother, are you tired? Don¡¯t tire yourself out. Let¡¯s sit down and talk. Actually, Dage¡¯s wife is doing this for the children. The children are getting married. I heard her tell everyone that the house is too small and they can¡¯t live in it. There¡¯s no other way. I can understand that. Why don¡¯t we do this? Mom, come and live with us. Although we¡¯ve split up, Liu Fu is still your biological son. How can you let someone else take care of you instead of your biological son? Our family will definitely take good care of you. What do you think?¡± When Old Mrs. Liu saw the joy in Liu Dage¡¯s wife¡¯s eyes, the anger in her heart grew even greater. Old Mrs. Liu asked Liu Dage, ¡°Dage, what do you think?¡± Liu Dage looked even more eager. He thought, ¡®These two old folks were old. It would be fine if they died in an instant, but if they fell ill or something¡­¡¯ ¡°Mother, why don¡¯t you go to Fu¡¯s house to stay for a while? And let him be filial to you?¡± Liu Dage said sincerely. Old Mrs. Liu laughed in anger and asked Old Mr. Liu beside her, ¡°What do you think?¡± Old Mr. Liu stood up, looking like he was about to die. He said to the village chief, ¡°Uncle, give the new farmland and homesteads to Fu¡¯s family.¡± When everyone heard that, they looked at Old Mr. Liu in shock. Liu Dage was the first to run over and kneel in front of Old Mr. Liu. He asked, ¡°Father, what are you doing? Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to give those to my son?¡± This was what Old Mr. Liu and Liu Dage had discussed at home. Now, because they wanted to build a house for their youngest son, they had teamed up to scam Liu Fu¡¯s family. No one expected that Old Mr. Liu would suddenly change his mind. Even Old Mrs. Liu was stunned. That announcement was equal to telling everyone that Liu Dage¡¯s family was no longer in favor. Old Mr. Liu lowered his head and looked at Liu Dage. This was the son that Old Mr. Liu doted on more than his own son. In the end, Liu Dage just wanted Old Mr. Liu dead! Old Mr. Liu said, ¡°Can¡¯t I have a say on the things I don¡¯t want to give you?¡± Liu Dage and his family cursed Old Mr. Liu to death in their hearts, ¡®Why isn¡¯t this old thing dead yet?! As expected, it was impossible if I¡¯m not his biological son. When it came to the real thing, the old thing still remembered his biological son.¡¯ Yang Cailan¡¯s eyes flashed. She had already obtained a crucial piece of information from the surrounding trees and flowers. As the Liu family¡¯s granddaughter-in-law, she could not say much and waved at Liu Dahu. Liu Dahu subconsciously did not want to go over. After all, he was bullied every time and Liu Baishan did not help him either. Strictly speaking, no one helped him! However, when he thought about how Yang Cailan could make Liu Baishan¡¯s face turn black, Liu Baishan was still on his side. In order not to be punished by Liu Baishan, he had no choice but to go to Yang Cailan. ¡°What do you want?¡± Liu Dahu said with a dissatisfied tone. Yang Cailan poked Liu Dahu¡¯s arm and said, ¡°It is something good!¡± She roped Dan Ruo in and the three heads gathered together and started to mutter. After listening to Yang Cailan¡¯s plan, Liu Dahu could not believe it. He asked, ¡°Can it really work?¡± Yang Cailan patted her chest and said confidently, ¡°I never spout nonsense when I speak! It will definitely work!¡± Liu Dahu did not believe it, but he chose to believe it. He had no choice. Liu Baishan was watching. Liu Dahu was afraid that if he did not go, he would be beaten to death by Liu Baishan. Dan Ruo held Yang Cailan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°How did you know that, Lan? Even I didn¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret!¡± Yang Cailan said excitedly. ¡°However, that was not important anymore. Just wait and see!¡± Dan Ruo looked at Yang Cailan¡¯s proud eyes and wanted to laugh. Dan Ruo thought, ¡®Lan was so cute. I don¡¯t know how lucky Shan was to have Lan by his side.¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Shui Xian noticed that the children were gathered together, but she did not think too much about it. At this moment, she had to keep an eye on her mother-in-law. She could not let her sister-in-law scheme against her. Otherwise, all her efforts today would be in vain. It was rare for her father-in-law to have a clear-headed moment. ¡°Father, didn¡¯t you promised me when we split the fortune? Our family will support you in your old age. Fu only needs to pay for your food¡­¡± Liu Dage was still struggling. Now, his father was not even going to give him anything. Old Mr. Liu placed his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He said, ¡°I¡¯m tired!¡± Liu Dage choked on Old Mr. Liu¡¯s words. Liu Dage¡¯s wife said, ¡°Father, don¡¯t you care about your grandson? He¡¯s still waiting for you to get him a wife!¡± ¡°I¡¯m your father, not my grandson¡¯s father! What does it have to do with me?¡± Old Mr. Liu replied. Someone could not hold it in and laughed. Yang Cailan suddenly had a good impression of Old Mr. Liu. She realized that Old Mr. Liu was a little like the old Taoist priest. He was just as willful, difficult to deal with, and friendly. Yang Cailan wanted to have some fun with Old Mr. Liu. However, Liu Baishan saw Yang Cailan¡¯s restless look and was afraid that she would do something inappropriate. He did not care about his black face and quickly held her down. He said, ¡°Behave yourself.¡± Yang Cailan responded with an ¡°oh¡± and stopped moving. She was a little disappointed. To her, Old Mr. Liu should be very interesting, but since her big baby had spoken, she should be more obedient. Just as Liu Dage was about to get up and question Old Mr. Liu, a commotion broke out in the crowd. Then, someone helped an even older old man over. Old Master Liu¡¯s name was Liu Er. He was still planning to continue acting as he pleased. Seeing that, he immediately put away his annoying look and ran to the person like a lackey. He said, ¡°Brother, why are you here?¡± Liu Yi reached out and slapped Liu Er¡¯s face. Liu Yi trembled and said, ¡°If I didn¡¯t come, you would have been schemed against and lost. You¡¯re still here foolishly raising someone else¡¯s son and even scamming our Liu family!¡± Liu Eryi was dumbfounded. He had lived for so many years. It was not easy for him to endure until he was this old. His father was no longer in control, and no one could lay a hand on him. In the end, Liu Yi lived even longer than Liu Er. Liu Yi was already eighty years old, and he could still slap others! Liu Er felt wronged. However, he did not dare to say anything. ¡°Brother, what are you talking about? Why didn¡¯t I understand!¡± said Liu Er. Liu Er was really curious. He did not know what could have made his old brother come out trembling. Then, Liu Er¡¯s gaze could not help but fall on Liu Dahu. He had never cared much about this great-grandson of his. He really could not get close to his third son¡¯s family. Liu Dahu had come with a mission, so he puffed out his chest and said in a loud voice that he wished the whole world could hear, ¡°Great-grandfather, you don¡¯t know. I heard that Granduncle Dage¡¯s biological parents gave that old Taoist money to find a family that could take care of him. After Granduncle Dage got married, his biological parents even came to look for him. Recently, Granduncle Dage had planned to bring his biological parents over to live in your mansion.¡± Liu Dahu had always been clever, and now he was even more vivid, adding some details to Yang Cailan¡¯s information. Old Mrs. Liu was the first to explode. It was because Liu Dage had indeed mentioned to her that a relative of his wife had encountered a disaster and wanted to stay at home for some time. Old Mrs. Liu had not had the time to discuss it with Old Mr. Liu. She said, ¡°Your biological parents? Then what about your father and I?¡± Liu Dage was completely embarrassed by his mother¡¯s tugging on his ear. He could only beg for mercy. However, Old Mrs. Liu¡¯s grip was not weak. She spun his ear 180 degrees and he said, ¡°Mother, it hurts!¡± Old Mrs. Liu sneered, ¡°You¡¯re in pain? My heart hurts even more!¡± Yang Cailan tugged at Liu Baishan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Grandma is so awesome!¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. There was no winner in this farce, but the result was still acceptable. Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu would definitely not move in with Liu Fu right now. After all, they still had their pride. However, Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu immediately closed the door when they returned home. No matter how much Liu Dage and his family knocked on the door, the two elders did not move at all. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡± Old Mrs. Liu could not figure it out. Old Mr. Liu sighed, ¡°I just feel that it¡¯s boring. We¡¯ve lived too long. The children are starting to dislike us.¡± When Old Mrs. Liu thought of that reason, she became even more vexed. Who would want to die if they could live well?

Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Then why did you give everything to Fu today? Didn¡¯t you always look down on him?¡± Old Mrs. Liu asked. She had always regarded her husband as her top priority. She had never resisted whatever her husband said. She had no idea why her husband had changed his mind now. Old Mr. Liu looked at the juniors in the courtyard outside the window and felt hopeless. He said, ¡°No matter what, Fu is our son. Do you really plan to let your son be backbiting for the rest of his life? Since Dage wants us to die, then we don¡¯t have to worry about it. When they stop, we¡¯ll take some money to the village chief and build a wall with the elders. We¡¯ll live alone in the future! Occasionally, we would go to Fu¡¯s house to eat, so it wouldn¡¯t make Fu¡¯s reputation look too bad.¡± Old Mrs. Liu was completely stunned. Previously, they had someone to serve them, but now Old Mr. Liu wanted to rely on himself. They were already so old, Old Mrs. Liu could not do it anymore. After thinking about it, she could not help but ask, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s the same if we live together. After all, we raised Dage too.¡± ¡°Dage¡¯s family can¡¯t wait for us to die and make room for them. Aren¡¯t you afraid that his wife will drug you?¡± said Old Mr. Liu. Old Mrs. Liu shuddered. She should rely on herself to survive. She felt that she could still work for another eight to ten years! ¡°Then will Fu care about us?¡± Old Mrs. Han asked as she was still unwilling to give up. ¡°How dare you ask?¡± Old Mr. Liu snorted again. Old Mrs. Liu said, ¡°Why can¡¯t I ask? Was I the only one who was cold to Fu?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll serve me in the future!¡± Old Mr. Liu muttered. When Old Mrs. Liu heard that, she trembled even more. She looked outside the courtyard and then at her husband who was lying leisurely on the brick bed. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m already so old, and I still have to serve you? This is your own doing, so clean it up yourself! Anyway, I have a son and a daughter. I¡¯ll go find my daughter!¡± As she spoke, she packed her luggage and turned to open the door. ¡°Mother, why are you carrying luggage? What are you doing?¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife asked. She was frightened and hurriedly stopped Old Mrs. Liu. Old Mrs. Liu pushed Liu Dage¡¯s wife, an unfilial thing away and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to look for my daughter. Why do you care?¡± Liu Dage¡¯s wife definitely wanted to interfere. If Old Mrs. Liu¡¯s daughters found out that Old Mr. and Mrs. Liu had caused such a scene, they would definitely come back and give them an earful. Liu Dage¡¯s wife hated those women the most. They did not even use the same words when they scolded others and they were powerful in that! Thinking of that, Liu Dage¡¯s wife immediately sat on the ground and said, ¡°Mother, you can¡¯t leave me behind? What did I do wrong? If you leave just like that, everyone will blame me¡­¡± Old Mrs. Liu¡¯s legs were hugged and she could not walk. Thinking of Old Mr. Liu¡¯s words, she felt a little regretful. She should not have come out at this time. However, she really did not want to serve others. Right at this moment, the door was kicked open. Shui Xian rushed over with her two daughters-in-law and Dan Ruo. Shui Xian pushed Liu Dage¡¯s wife away and saved Old Mrs. Liu. Only then did Shui Xian put her hands on her waist and point at Liu Dage¡¯s wife, scolding, ¡°I knew it. Mother is very healthy, how is it possible that she has been sick recently. So it¡¯s all because you¡¯re torturing her. You won¡¯t get away from me!¡± Yang Cailan and Dan Ruo took advantage of the time when Shui Xian was scolding Liu Dage¡¯s wife to help Old Mrs. Liu run towards the door. Before Old Mrs. Liu could react, she had already left the courtyard and gone straight to Liu Fu¡¯s house. She asked, ¡°What are you two doing? I almost lost my breath!¡± Old Mrs. Liu sat down and panted heavily. ¡°Grandma, we invited you to come to rest for a while. Just in time, we have something to ask!¡± Yang Cailan knew that Dan Ruo was timid, so she took the initiative to explain the situation to Old Mrs. Liu with a smile. Yang Cailan¡¯s face was too deceiving. It was so sweet that it was hard to get angry. Even Old Mrs. Liu only scolded her jokingly, ¡°Tell me, what is it?¡± Initially, Old Mrs. Liu did not really want to go to her daughter¡¯s house. After all, it was embarrassing to go to her daughter¡¯s house when she had a son. Now that she could come to Liu Fu¡¯s house, it was fine for her. Yang Cailan coughed lightly and said, ¡°Grandma, I just got married to Liu Baishan. I want to acknowledge my relatives. However, my mother-in-law is not as familiar with her relatives as you are. After thinking about it, I think I should ask for your help, Grandma.¡± When Old Mrs. Liu heard that, she felt at ease. She said, ¡°You¡¯re right. Your mother-in-law looks fierce, but her interpersonal relationships are not as good as mine. But I have to help you. Do I have to stay at your house for the next two days?¡± Old Mrs. Liu began to probe. Yang Cailan nodded immediately and said, ¡°Of course. This is your son¡¯s home. You can stay here as long as you want.¡± Dan Ruo, who was beside Yang Cailan, nodded vigorously under Yang Cailan¡¯s gaze, ¡°Yes, Grandma!¡± Old Mrs. Liu was satisfied. Coincidentally, Liu Fu came over. She coughed lightly and said, ¡°Fu, what are you planning to do for Shan¡¯s wedding?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Fu had no idea of the wedding arrangement because it was all handled by his wife. But now that his mother had asked, he had no choice but to answer. He only said, ¡°Mother, you make the decision since you¡¯re here!¡± Old Mrs. Han felt pleased. This was the feeling of being the master of the house. Because of that, she liked Yang Cailan even more. Old Mrs. Liu said, ¡°Lan, you¡¯re much better than your ignorant mother-in-law.¡± Although Yang Cailan did not understand the complex emotions of humans, she could still understand what Old Mrs. Liu was saying. She did not agree with Old Mrs. Liu and changed the topic, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t you think Liu Baishan and I look like a couple? In the future, I¡¯ll rely on Grandma to support me!¡± Liu Baishan, who had just entered the house, was speechless. His impression of his grandmother was that she was an old lady who could fight and not make any noise. Because of his father, he had never received her love and care. Liu Baishan had never thought that he would suddenly feel his grandmother¡¯s concern when he was already so old. It was a huge impact for him. Old Mrs. Liu pulled Liu Baishan¡¯s hand and reprimanded him, ¡°Shan, let me tell you, if you dare to treat Lan badly, I¡¯ll break your legs!¡± Yang Cailan also held Old Mrs. Liu¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t break his legs. It hurts so much. Let¡¯s not give him good food and let him crave it!¡± Old Mrs. Liu laughed out loud and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave that to you!¡± Yang Cailan giggled and winked at Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan did not know if he should laugh at Yang Cailan or scold her with a straight face. In his poor interpersonal relationships, he could not understand how Yang Cailan managed to conquer his grandmother. And his mother, such a difficult person, actually treated Yang Cailan kindly. Even his weak sister trusted Yang Cailan greatly. Liu Fu sighed, ¡°It¡¯s the first time your grandmother has laughed so happily in our house after so many years.¡± Liu Baihe pursed his lips and said, ¡°To put it bluntly, he was jealous because his heart was broken.¡± Liu Fu took out a cigarette and said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that. Your grandpa gave us the land. What else are you thinking?¡± Liu Baihe said directly, ¡°It¡¯s for Shan. He¡¯s retired from the army and needs a place to live. He has a family now, so it¡¯s crowded here. We¡¯re used to living in this courtyard. It¡¯s just nice to build a house for Shan.¡± ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t agree.¡± Liu Fu nodded. Liu Baihe scratched the back of his head and frowned. He said, ¡°Dad, am I a heartless person? Without Shan sending money home from the army, would our family be able to live like this?¡± Liu Fu was satisfied. He patted Liu Baihe¡¯s shoulder and did not say anything. The family here was warm and cozy, but Liu Dage¡¯s family was not. This was because the moment Old Mrs. Liu left, Shui Xian and Bai Feng beat up the entire family. After beating them up, they ran away. Liu Dage¡¯s wife wanted to chase after them, but Liu Dage shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s embarrassing enough? It¡¯s good that Mother went over. We¡¯ll each take care of one of the elders in the family!¡± However, Old Mr. Liu suddenly opened the door and said, ¡°Your mother and I won¡¯t go to each family, and we don¡¯t want you to take care of any of us! Later, when the wall is raised, hide far away. If anyone pushes the wall down, I will scold them!¡± After saying that, Old Mr. Liu left without caring about what the family thought. Liu Dage¡¯s wife asked uneasily, ¡°What should we do? Are we really going to let the old man build the wall?¡± Liu Dage gritted his teeth and said, ¡°What else? Who was the one who leaked the news about the family? Damn it, it was all for naught now!¡± Thinking of that, Liu Dage was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. At this moment, Old Mr. Liu had already arrived at Liu Fu¡¯s house. Before he entered, he heard his wife laughing happily inside. ¡°Father?¡± Liu Fu opened the door and saw Old Mr. Liu¡¯s wrinkled face. He called out with uncertainty. ¡°What is your mother doing?¡± Old Mr. Liu was really curious and asked directly. He wondered why his wife was so happy at Liu Fu¡¯s house. Liu Fu said, ¡°Yang Cailan is talking to Mother. That girl has a sweet mouth and Mother likes her very much.¡± Old Mr. Liu could tell. Otherwise, Old Mrs. Liu would not have laughed so happily. He had not heard this kind of laughter for many years, but he wanted to be this happy too. He thought, ¡®Why did Lan only make my wife happy? What about me?¡¯ Although Old Mr. Liu thought so, he calmly walked in with his hands behind his back. Yang Cailan felt very close to Old Mr. Liu. It was more of a feeling like the old Taoist priest. Therefore, Yang Cailan hurriedly stood up and ran to Old Mr. Liu. She held his arm very naturally and said, ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re here. Grandma and I were going to bring you over.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Old Mr. Liu¡¯s heart was very warm. He threw a smug look at Old Mrs. Liu and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Shui Xian looked at her mother-in-law, who she had never been able to please in her entire life, and she was so fond of Yang Cailan. She asked Bai Feng angrily, ¡°Who exactly is her mother-in-law?¡± When Bai Feng heard that, she immediately perked up and said, ¡°Mother, Lan doesn¡¯t respect you at all.¡± Shui Xian looked at Bai Feng strangely. She said, ¡°Bai Feng, you¡¯re not thinking of anything good. Lan has a simple personality. Don¡¯t bully her in the future.¡± Bai Feng pondered, ¡®Who did I speak for earlier? How could she change too fast? I couldn¡¯t keep up.¡¯ Yang Cailan made her grandparents laugh. Old Mrs. Liu even gave her a bracelet and said, ¡°This bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law back then. She asked me to give it to the daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the future. It¡¯s yours now.¡± Shui Xian, who was also the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and Bai Feng were speechless. Shui Xian glared at Liu Fu. He had never mentioned this to her before. Suddenly, there was a bracelet. Bai Feng also glanced at Liu Baihe. As for Yang Cailan, she was pleasantly surprised. She said, ¡°Thank you, Grandma. It¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Yang Cailan did not refuse. Besides, she had always liked this kind of jade. She fiddled with it in front of Liu Baishan and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t it beautiful?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Liu Baishan nodded. Yang Cailan had fair skin, and the jade bracelet on her wrist looked really beautiful. Yang Cailan was satisfied after showing off. Her attitude towards Old Mrs. Liu had also changed. Although Old Mrs. Liu looked mean, she was a nice person. ¡°Grandma, this is for you. Liu Baishan and I are giving it to you as a gift!¡± said Yang Cailan. She had her own way of contacting people, so she had to be polite to them. Then, she returned to her room and took out a small wooden box, and handed it to Old Mrs. Liu. Old Mrs. Liu did not expect Yang Cailan to give her a present. It seemed that Yang Cailan had prepared it long ago. Old Mrs. Liu thought, ¡®Could it be that this little girl had always been thinking about me?¡¯ Old Mrs. Liu was very moved at the thought of this and hurriedly opened the small box. It was actually a set of gold jewelry, bracelets, earrings, and pendants. It was the kind that was very suitable for the elderly to wear, symbolizing longevity and health. Old Mrs. Liu almost fainted from fright. She asked, ¡°Are these for me?¡± Although Old Mrs. Liu had given Yang Cailan the bracelet very straightforwardly, in her eyes, jade was not worth much. There was a saying that gold in troubled times was an antique in prosperous times. That was why Old Mrs. Liu had always liked gold. Nearby, Shui Xian was still alright. Yang Cailan had given Shui Xian a set of gifts anyway, and she even had two more gold rings. However, Bai Feng did not feel good. If it were not for her rationality, she would have taken a bite and seen if it was real gold. Yang Cailan helped Old Mrs. Liu put accessories on and said, ¡°Do you like the gifts Liu Baishan and I gave you, Grandma¡± As Yang Cailan spoke, she winked at Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan¡¯s face darkened when he thought of Yang Cailan¡¯s bag of gold. She promised to keep her money to herself and give it away when she got married. If this got out¡­ Old Mrs. Liu immediately stuffed the accessories into the box and faked a smile at the others. She said, ¡°This is just gilded. It looks golden and beautiful. It¡¯s not real gold, right, Lan?¡± As Old Mrs. Liu spoke, she winked at Yang Cailan. Old Mrs. Liu had lived for so long, so she naturally knew the importance of gold. She could not afford to attract people¡¯s attention. Yang Cailan understood immediately. Although she did not understand why her grandmother would do that, she still nodded obediently. Old Mrs. Liu heaved a sigh of relief and turned to warn Shui Xian and Bai Feng, ¡°This is gilded. If you¡¯re envious, give me a set too. I don¡¯t mind that this isn¡¯t real gold. It¡¯s festive just looking at it!¡± Shui Xian wanted to spit on Old Mrs. Liu! Bai Feng had a fake smile on her face. She thought, ¡®Did she think I¡¯m stupid? That was obviously real gold.¡¯ Seeing that everyone was looking away, Old Mrs. Liu whispered to Yang Cailan, ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone about it in the future. This thing can¡¯t be taken out casually. You¡¯re too naive. What if Grandma doesn¡¯t cover for you in the future?¡± In fact, it was not surprising that Old Mrs. Liu was worried. At this time, most of the farmers were living in poverty. No one had the money to buy gold. They would rather use their money to buy grain. If this was discovered, it would be difficult not to attract trouble. ¡°Then Grandma, you¡¯ll have to live to a hundred years old and help me all the time.¡± Yang Cailan said immediately. Yang Cailan¡¯s words made Old Mrs. Liu laugh out loud, ¡°Okay, I will try my best to live a long life and help you, Lan!¡± Yang Cailan nodded. Shui Xian, who was beside Yang Cailan, almost fainted. Shui Xian thought, ¡®If my mother-in-law lived to be a hundred years old, wouldn¡¯t I have to serve her for the rest of her life?¡¯ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan saw that Shui Xian¡¯s expression was ugly and thought that she was jealous. Yang Cailan immediately said, ¡°Mother, you also have a long life. Everyone has a long life. Lan can¡¯t bear for you to leave!¡± Shui Xian was satisfied because she still had Lan as her daughter-in-law, but Shui Xian really did not want to serve her mother-in-law for the rest of her life. Bai Feng, who was beside Shui Xian, rolled her eyes. Bai Feng thought, ¡®She really had a big mouth and dared to say anything. However, when she turned around and thought about it, she would be happy if anyone gave her a set of gold.¡¯ Just as the women were having a good time, Old Mr. Liu could not take it anymore and said, ¡°What about mine?¡± His voice sounded a little pitiful. Yang Cailan immediately imagined Old Mr. Liu as the old Taoist priest. She could not bear to do so. One had to know that the old Taoist priest was very good to her. For her to be able to transform, he was worried to death¡­In the end, she still did not succeed, but it was also because of the old Taoist priest that she had a chance of survival. ¡°Grandpa, what gift will you give me?¡± Yang Cailan asked as she was not afraid of her grandfather at all. She even reached out for a gift. Old Mr. Liu took out the sachet he had been carrying and took out a jade pendant from it and threw it to her. He said, ¡°You can wear it and play with it.¡± Yang Cailan saw that it was another good thing and immediately beamed. She said, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa. This is a gift from Liu Baishan and me!¡± She quickly entered the house and gave Old Mr. Liu a smoking pipe made of briar. Although Old Mr. Liu had never seen briar before, he knew that it was a good thing as soon as he touched it. He said, ¡°You have keen eyes, Lan.¡± Old Mr. Liu turned his head and looked at Liu Fu with disdain. He said, ¡°You¡¯ve never been so sensible. Otherwise, would I have treated Dage so well? Humph!¡± Liu Fu had probably never been so speechless in his life. A biological son could not compare to an adopted son just because he did not know how to say it. Liu Baihe saw that his father was holding back his anger and immediately whispered, ¡°Father, why are you angry with Grandpa? He was always like that¡­Have you seen anyone who can get something from Grandpa? Lan is still the best, so we can¡¯t beat Grandpa, but we have Lan! In the future, Uncle Dage¡¯s family will definitely not be able to compete with us. There¡¯s no need to hold back because of these few words.¡± Liu Fu finally understood. He may be dumb with words, but Yang Cailan was not. They were family. Yang Cailan only wanted to pull Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu to her side and then torture her uncle¡¯s family. This was the only way to vent the anger of Liu Baishan¡¯s family over the years. During the meal, Yang Cailan stopped because she really did not know how to cook. After all, she was the incarnation of the green lotus. Plants were afraid of fire. In the kitchen, Bai Feng was unwilling. She said to Shui Xian and Dan Ruo, who were cooking, ¡°Mother, Lan has already married over and hasn¡¯t even cooked a meal. If outsiders know, what would they say about our family? Won¡¯t they say that we did not teach her well?¡± Dan Ruo had a weak personality and did not dare to speak in front of the strong Bai Feng. However, Shui Xian did not dare to speak and there was also something she dared to said, ¡°Are you going out to tell everyone about that? Otherwise, how would the people outside know?¡± Bai Feng said, ¡°Mother, I was just thinking what if¡­¡± Shui Xian said, ¡°If anyone finds out, it¡¯s because you said it. Dan Ruo won¡¯t tell, and neither will I! Lan has a good temper. Don¡¯t bully her. If I find out, I¡¯ll let Baihe deal with you!¡± Bai Feng was speechless. Dan Ruo also nodded, ¡°Lan is very capable. It¡¯s just fine if she doesn¡¯t cook. Anyway, I know how to cook!¡± ¡®Even the cowardly Dan Ruo spoke up for Yang Cailan today!¡¯ This almost angered Bai Feng and she said, ¡°We¡¯re all daughters-in-law. When I got married, I woke up early the next morning to cook for everyone. Why doesn¡¯t Lan need to do it?¡± However, just as Bai Feng finished shouting, she saw Shui Xian¡¯s eyes turn cold. Shui Xian said, ¡°Since you want to argue, then let¡¯s have a good argument. For so many years, Shan sent money home every month when he was out in the military. Didn¡¯t you eat the food that you bought with this money? Didn¡¯t you spend it? In the end, he even gave his house to your family. Now that you have an opinion, you can give me the money you¡¯ve earned over the years and we¡¯ll split up.¡± Bai Feng was stunned. She had forgotten about this! If other daughters-in-law dreamed of splitting up, then their family was the complete opposite! She did not want to move out at all. If she did not move out, there would be someone to help look after the children. She did not need to pay for the children¡¯s school fees, and she would not have to worry about food. Bai Feng had never eaten her fill when she was with her maternal family. Moreover, with her husband¡¯s honest appearance, he would be at a disadvantage if he did not have his family to cheer him up. It was even possible that his entire family would starve to death¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seeing that Bai Feng did not dare to say anything else, Shui Xian snorted coldly. Besides Bai Feng, Dan Ruo also had a face full of stifled laughter. Dan Ruo thought, ¡®Bai Feng was just a little scheming, but she was not a bad person and also took care of me. It was her tongue that was really not likable.¡¯ When dinner was served, Old Mrs. Liu pursed her lips. Yang Cailan knew what Old Mrs. Liu meant when she saw her expression. She said, ¡°Grandma, look at how good Mother is. She was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be used to eating here for the first time, so she specially prepared something easy to digest for you. Don¡¯t you like it?¡± Old Mrs. Liu could only swallow her words and smile. She said, ¡°I like it!¡± Yang Cailan was satisfied. She scooped up some food for Shui Xian and said, ¡°Mother, thanks for your hard work!¡± Shui Xian thought that her mother-in-law would flare up. Seeing that Yang Cailan had settled it with a single sentence, she suddenly laughed, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Hurry up and sit down to eat. After dinner, I¡¯ll ask Shan to bring you to the county town to buy some meat for tomorrow.¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s eyes sparkled and said, ¡°Mother, you¡¯re the best!¡± Old Mrs. Liu next to Yang Cailan was unhappy and thought, ¡®Was giving meat good enough?¡¯ Then, Old Mrs. Liu said, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal about eating meat? You¡¯re so easy to fool. Look at you. You don¡¯t even have a proper dress for your wedding, let alone your wedding. Is this reasonable? My embroidery is very good. There is a wedding dress for your aunt at home. Since she had no use for it, I¡¯ll let you wear it!¡± Shui Xian was shocked that Old Mrs. Liu was even willing to take out the wedding dress that she treasured. Yang Cailan smiled and said, ¡°Okay, is it red?¡± Liu Baishan felt that he was about to lose Yang Cailan¡¯s favor. She was very busy today. She was busy making Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu happy, and she was even a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her mother. Yang Cailan even had a way for Dan Ruo and Bai Feng not to make a fuss. Not to mention his brother and father, who were happy with just a little sweetness. As for Liu Baishan, there was only one use for Yang Cailan, which was a kiss. Liu Baishan felt a little jealous. When they were about to leave, Yang Cailan suddenly asked, ¡°Only to buy meat?¡± Liu Baishan only responded with a nod. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take you somewhere to get it for free.¡± Yang Cailan nodded. Liu Baishan did not understand, but he still followed Yang Cailan. In the end, he saw Yang Cailan pulling him all the way to the back of the mountain and stopping at a big tree. She said to the tree, ¡°I want to eat meat. I¡¯ll help you trim the branches. Can you let them come over by themselves?¡± Liu Baishan looked at Yang Cailan as if she was a monster. He was wondering what she was doing. However, before he could ask any questions, he saw the tree shake its branches. Yang Cailan nodded and ran to Liu Baishan, ¡°Are you strong enough?¡± Liu Baishan was puzzled. Yang Cailan was already used to Liu Baishan¡¯s silence. She pointed at some places on the tree and said, ¡°Can you help me cut off those branches?¡± Liu Baishan did not know what she was going to do, but he still cooperated with Yang Cailan and dealt with the branch quickly. Meanwhile, Yang Cailan was fiddling with the branches. Liu Baishan said, ¡°These are useless. Let¡¯s take them back and burn them.¡± Yang Cailan did not answer him. She kept fiddling with it as if she was setting a trap. When she was almost done, she said, ¡°Alright, hurry up and get on the tree!¡± Liu Baishan did not have time to think about it, because Yang Cailan shouted too quickly. He subconsciously picked her up and placed her on a branch of the tree before he went up. However, just as the two of them sat down, they saw a wild boar rush over and dive into the pile of branches. Then, it was successfully buried by the branches? As the wild boar struggled, it was bound even more. Yang Cailan looked at the wild boar under the tree and hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s arm as she asked, ¡°Is there enough meat?¡± Liu Baishan was speechless. He now felt that his understanding had been subverted. Under Yang Cailan¡¯s expectant gaze, he said, ¡°Enough!¡± Yang Cailan immediately beamed and said, ¡°Kiss me!¡± Liu Baishan¡¯s eyes twitched. It was true. Another kiss. Fortunately, there were not many people here, and the two of them were on the tree, so he did not refuse. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan, who had parted after a kiss, and said unhappily, ¡°Do you despise me? Why aren¡¯t you kissing me properly?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still young. You don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Liu Baishan wanted to explain. He was a man who kissed his wife every day. Sooner or later, he would not be able to resist doing something¡­ However, Yang Cailan did not understand. She wanted to kiss him, and then she left him alone to vent her anger. Liu Baishan felt like he was going to have a problem holding it in¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I understand. You just want to marry me off again!¡± Yang Cailan said with a straight face. Liu Baishan¡¯s face darkened. He said, ¡°No!¡± ¡±You have kissed me so many times and you are my wife. How could I let you marry another person?¡¯ Liu Baishan thought. Yang Cailan¡¯s mood improved a little when she heard that. However, she was tempted when she saw the big ball of light above Liu Baishan¡¯s head. She said, ¡°Then kiss me properly and I¡¯ll forgive you!¡± Liu Baishan sighed and lowered his head to kiss her jelly-like lips. He really wanted more. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, the wild boar¡¯s shrill scream came from below¡­ Liu Baishan was very dissatisfied with his thoughts being interrupted. He directly vented his anger on the wild boar. He slashed the wild boar with his sickle, and blood flowed all over the ground. When the villagers heard the commotion and rushed over, they saw the wild board¡¯s blood scattered all over the ground. It was a pity. They thought the pork braised tofu was so delicious. The villagers surrounded the wild boar and talked about something. Only Liu Baihe moved closer to Liu Baishan and said, ¡°Shan, did you really do it?¡± Liu Baishan nodded. In fact, he did not want to take the credit, but if he told the truth, Yang Cailan might be targeted. For the safety of his wife, he had to do this. Yang Cailan did not care about this at all. She was arguing with Liu Dahu. ¡°You said that this wild boar fell into a trap and was killed by Uncle Shan? Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± Liu Dahu did not believe Yang Cailan. ¡°You¡¯re an idiot!¡± Yang Cailan said angrily. Liu Dahu said, ¡°You¡¯re the fool. Your whole family is fools.¡± Yang Cailan ran to Liu Baishan and cried, ¡°Liu Dahu bullied me!¡± Liu Dahu rolled his eyes. This was the only trick she knew. However, this move was the most effective because his father had already taken action before Liu Baishan could deal with him. ¡°Brat, you only know how to bully your Auntie Lan!¡± Liu Baihe still had a good impression of Yang Cailan. He believed that Yang Cailan would not stir up trouble. Liu Dahu pointed at Yang Cailan and said, ¡°Does she think I¡¯m a fool? Such a big wild boar ran to Uncle Shan and was killed by him. Who would believe that?¡± ¡°I believe her!¡± Liu Baishan said coldly. Liu Dahu looked at Liu Baishan in disbelief and wondered if he had become dumber. Yang Cailan stuck her tongue out at Liu Dahu and said, ¡°You still don¡¯t believe me?¡± Liu Dahu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He finally realized a real problem, and that was that he was no match for Yang Cailan! Liu Baishan did not occupy the wild boar. Everyone was having a hard time. They relied on the mountain and did not starve to death, but not every household could eat their fill. Moreover, this wild boar was not small. In addition, the weather was hot, so it was not suitable for storage. He asked the village chief to make the decision. The wild boar skin was given to him, and 15 kilograms of pork was given to him. The rest was given to the villagers. Of course, Yang Cailan and Liu Baishan did not go to the county town, so she was still wearing Dan Ruo¡¯s clothes. Because of this incident, more people in the village got to know Yang Cailan and took better care of the Liu family. Some people were happy, while others were unhappy. Among the crowd, a young lady found Yang Cailan especially unpleasant to the eye. ¡°Lan, that woman wanted to date Shan before, but he rejected her. She can¡¯t bear to hate Shan, so she doesn¡¯t have a good expression towards the woman who married him!¡± Dan Ruo saw the woman¡¯s gaze and felt that it reminded Yang Cailan. Yang Cailan was shocked. Liu Baishan was her life. She could not believe that there was still someone who was concerned about him. Yang Cailan would go against anyone who had a problem with her precious. Therefore, she ran to Liu Baishan and hugged his waist. When she met his eyes that were about to spit fire, she raised her chin proudly! Her gaze was almost saying, ¡°Look, this is my man!¡± Both Dan Ruo and Liu Baishan were speechless. The woman was so angry that she stomped her feet. She grew up with Liu Baishan. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that her family had asked for too many betrothal gifts, Yang Cailan would not have been here. Of course, she could ignore the fact that Liu Baishan did not like her, and Shui Xian did not like her either. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Liu Baishan was still talking to someone when Yang Cailan suddenly hugged him and asked subconsciously. ¡°I miss you!¡± Yang Cailan said seriously. There were quite several people around, especially young men. When they heard Yang Cailan¡¯s straightforward words, they started to shout. None of them had ever seen such a straightforward wife. The key was that Yang Cailan was so petite and lovely. They thought Liu Baishan was so fierce and did not deserve such a beautiful wife. Liu Baishan felt that he had trained himself to not blush easily. He reached out and rubbed Yang Cailan¡¯s head. He said, ¡°Go play with Dan Ruo first, I¡¯ll bring you back later.¡± Yang Cailan nodded, but when she saw the angry look in the woman¡¯s eyes, she felt that this was not enough. She tiptoed and kissed Liu Baishan¡¯s lips. Yang Cailain said, ¡°Then hurry up. I¡¯ll miss you!¡± This time, it stimulated those hot-blooded young men even more. They really could not compare themselves with Liu Baishan.

Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Baishan knew that Yang Cailan was bold, but he could not take it anymore and brought her home. Behind him, a group of people jeered. ¡°Do you know what kissing is?¡± Liu Baishan brought Yang Cailan back home, closed the door, and asked directly. Yang Cailan nodded. She thought, ¡®Didn¡¯t I kiss him several times a day?¡¯ Liu Baishan knew that she did not understand. He held Yang Cailan¡¯s cheek and said, ¡°Do you like me kissing you?¡± The two of them were very close to each other. Their lips could even touch because of his actions. Yang Cailan¡¯s energy could not flow smoothly into her body because of this vague touch. This was more tortuous than being unable to eat. She could not take it anymore. She hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s neck and leaned forward. ¡°Yes, you have to kiss me every day!¡± said Yang Cailan. She thought that she had made herself clear. Liu Baishan was about to teach her what a real kiss was when he was interrupted by Shui Xian, who was worried about her daughter-in-law. Shui Xian slammed at the door loudly. ¡°Shan, if you dare to lay a finger on Lan, I¡¯ll be angry with you. Open the door, you¡¯re not allowed to hit Lan!¡± Yang Cailan, who was leaning against the door, was shocked by the vibration and threw herself at Liu Baishan. Their teeth collided. The ambiguous atmosphere was gone. Liu Baishan was so angry that he wanted to punch the wall. He thought, ¡®I just wanted to kiss my wife, but why was it so difficult?¡¯ Yang Cailan covered her bruised lips with tears in her eyes. Shui Xian opened the door and saw Yang Cailan covering her mouth with tears, blood oozing out of her fingers! In an instant, Shui Xian¡¯s mind went blank and she started beating Liu Baishan up. Shui Xian said, ¡°You hit your own wife. Why are you so ruthless? Lan is such a good wife¡­¡± Dan Ruo and Bai Feng, who had rushed over, gasped when they saw the blood that had appeared between Yang Cailan¡¯s fingers. ¡°Lan, are you alright?¡± Dan Ruo asked. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. Although Bai Feng was gloating, she was still a woman. She still felt very uncomfortable about being beaten. She said, ¡°Shan, this is too much. It was just a kiss, and you actually hit her.¡± Old Mrs. Liu and Old Mr. Liu also came over. Seeing Yang Cailan¡¯s expression, the two elders were very direct. Since their grandson was beaten by Shui Xian, they would beat their son. Let¡¯s see how he educated his son! Therefore, Liu Fu, who had just entered the house, was in trouble. The whole family was in a mess. Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao, who had just returned from their grandma¡¯s house, were stunned. They tugged at their brother, Liu Dahu¡¯s hand, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Liu Dahu said calmly, ¡°You¡¯ll understand in the future. There will definitely be many such incidents!¡± As long as it involved Yang Cailan, Shui Xian, and Old Mrs. Liu, things would probably go crazy. Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao immediately trembled. Dan Ruo patted Liu Dahu¡¯s head and asked, ¡°How old are you already? How could you scare your younger siblings?¡± After saying that, Dan Ruo pulled Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao towards Yang Cailan and introduced, ¡°This is Uncle Shan¡¯s wife, Auntie Lan.¡± Yang Cailan¡¯s gums were bleeding from the impact, and she looked very disheveled. She was too embarrassed to show her sorry state and could only wave her hand at the two children. The two children were still young and did not react to the situation at all, but they still subconsciously waved back. They were very cute. Yang Cailan wanted to say something, but her teeth hurt so much that her tears started to flow again. She turned around and cried at Liu Baishan. Liu Baishan was initially very quiet after being beaten by his mother, but when he saw Yang Cailan¡¯s tears, he hurriedly ran over and asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Yang Cailan let go of her hand, and a mouthful of blood immediately came out. Liu Baishan¡¯s heart ached and blame his teeth for being too hard. ¡°Hug me!¡± Yang Cailan opened her hands and said with a sobbing tone. Liu Baishan immediately picked up Yang Cailan and said to Dan Ruo, ¡°Get Lan a glass of water.¡± Dan Ruo quickly went to pour water. Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao could not believe their eyes. They thought, ¡®Was this still our fierce Uncle Shan?¡¯ ¡°Does it still hurt? Do you want to see a doctor?¡± Liu Baishan was really worried about Yang Cailan. Yang Cailan was still upset and continued to act coquettishly. Liu Baishan also patiently asked and comforted her. In the end, Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu could not take it anymore and went out one after another, closing the door behind them. ¡°It¡¯s not that hurtful, right? Isn¡¯t Shan exaggerating?¡± Old Mrs. Liu asked Shui Xian. Shui Xian still had goosebumps all over her body. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, who would have believed that the man who cared about her well-being and almost protected his wife was the fierce Liu Baishan. In the end, Bai Feng could not help but say, ¡°They haven¡¯t even had a wedding yet. Is there a need to be so clingy?¡± As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, she was rebutted by the always cowardly Dan Ruo, ¡°Even when you held a wedding with your husband, you were never so close to being clingy!¡± Bai Feng was speechless.

Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation No matter how much Liu Baishan was lovey-dovey with his wife, the rest of the family also went to collect the wheat. The family left, leaving the three little fellows to gather together and whisper. ¡°Is Auntie Lan too delicate?¡± asked Liu Dahua. The first time she saw Yang Cailan, she felt that Yang Cailan was pretty and delicate. Liu Dahu said, ¡°She¡¯s not only delicate, but she¡¯s also complaining! Uncle Shan still doted on her. It was simply too much. Every time I say something, she goes to look for Uncle Shan and he would stand at her side!¡± The youngest, Liu Dabao, asked, ¡°Since Uncle Shan dotes on Auntie Lan so much, why are you still making things difficult for Auntie Lan, brother? Are you stupid?¡± Liu Dahu slapped his younger brother¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°You¡¯re the stupid one. Your whole family is stupid!¡± Liu Dabao covered his head and said, ¡°My family included you!¡± Liu Dahu was speechless. This was really his younger brother. No matter what the three kids were doing, Yang Cailan still looked at Liu Baishan with tears in her eyes. In fact, she had already felt that her soul had stabilized a lot because of Liu Baishan. However, she was still reluctant to part with it and wanted more. Naturally, she hugged Liu Baishan¡¯s waist and rubbed her head against his chest. Liu Baishan was so angry that he could only repeat, ¡°I¡¯m almost done!¡± Yang Cailan was indeed uncomfortable, but looking at Liu Baishan¡¯s expression, she felt a little embarrassed. She felt that she had gone too far, which made Liu Baishan worried. ¡°Will you hate me?¡± Liu Baishan rubbed Yang Cailan¡¯s little head and said, ¡°I would never hate you!¡± She was his wife, so he had to protect her. More importantly, he had hurt her. He was about to blame himself to death. Yang Cailan was in a much better mood after getting the answer she wanted. She requested, ¡°Then I want a comforting kiss!¡± Liu Baishan did not dare to kiss her anymore, afraid that he would hurt her again. Yang Cailan¡¯s eyes turned red when she saw Liu Baishan¡¯s rejection. She said, ¡°You¡¯re lying to me. I must be ugly. You think I¡¯m ugly and won¡¯t kiss me anymore?¡± Liu Baishan said hurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re ugly. I¡¯ll kiss you.¡± However, Yang Cailan was unwilling. She could feel that Liu Baishan kissed her because of her words. It was embarrassing for her. She said, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to kiss me anymore. I¡¯ll find someone else to kiss. I don¡¯t want you to kiss me anymore.¡± Yang Cailan began to cry. She was a prideful fairy, and her true form was a lotus flower. She had always been a beautiful existence, but now she was despised by a human. Her mentality had changed. Liu Baishan¡¯s face immediately darkened and said, ¡°What did you just say?¡± Yang Cailan had a bad feeling. She said, ¡°Why should I listen to you?¡± Her aura was much weaker, but her mouth was still tough. Liu Baishan laughed in anger and said, ¡°If I remember correctly, you begged me to buy you as my wife! Why do you want to listen to me?¡± Yang Cailan was speechless. It was indeed the result that she shamelessly wanted, but she was still unhappy. She was despised for being ugly. Tears began to fall. Liu Baishan¡¯s heart ached. The scar on his face tightened because of his nervousness, making him even more frightened. ¡°Then I¡¯ll return the money to you. I don¡¯t want to be your wife anymore!¡± said Yang Cailan. Suddenly Yang Cailan felt that she was useless. She had already failed to transcend the tribulation. So it did not matter if she died and there was no need for a precious. However, she was unwilling to accept it. They had already come this far, her life was definitely important to her. Yang Cailan only despised herself for a while and tried her best to act like she had an ego. However, when Liu Baishan sighed and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips, all his ego was gone. Yang Cailan believed that her life was more important than her ego. However, Yang Cailan was not satisfied with Liu Baishan¡¯s kiss. She pouted and said, ¡°More!¡± Liu Baishan was amused, and the depression in his heart slowly dissipated. He thought his wife was still too young and did not have so many thoughts. ¡°Do you like kissing that much?¡± he asked softly. ¡°I like it very much!¡± Yang Cailan said. Liu Baishan was helpless and kissed her again. Yang Cailan was satisfied. The children outside finally waited for Uncle Shan and Auntie Lan to open the door. ¡°Aren¡¯t they embarrassed?¡± Liu Dahu looked at Yang Cailan¡¯s smug expression and could not help but mutter. Yang Cailan snorted, ¡°You little brat doesn¡¯t have a wife yet. Even if you want someone to pamper you, there¡¯s no one! Go ahead and be envious!¡± Liu Dahu said, ¡°Do you even look like an adult?¡± Yang Cailan replied, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m more adult than you! I¡¯m an adult, but you¡¯re not!¡± Liu Dahu was speechless. Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao, who were beside Liu Dahu, hurriedly held down their brother. If they continued to provoke Yang Cailan, Liu Baishan would definitely teach him a lesson. Liu Dahu said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone that you¡¯re my Auntie Lan in the future. It¡¯s too embarrassing!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Cailan replied with an ¡°oh¡±, then took out two delicious fruits from her pocket and gave them to Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao. She asked, ¡°Do you want to eat?¡± Liu Dahua and Liu Dabao immediately nodded. The fruits looked juicy and delicious. The ones they picked themselves were not so delightful. Yang Cailan did not tease them. She stuffed one fruit into each of their mouths, then took out another fruit and started eating it. When one heard the sound and saw the juice, one would believe that it was delicious. Liu Dahu watched as the three of them ate to their hearts¡¯ content. After waiting for a while, he could not help but ask, ¡°What about mine?¡± Yang Cailan tilted her head and said, ¡°You were so happy scolding me just now. Why should I give it to you? Is there something wrong with my head?¡± Liu Dahu felt like he was going to suffocate to death. He had never felt so aggrieved in his life. Yang Cailan continued to feed the two children. Fruits were easy to get, and she could even find the most delicious ones. Liu Dahu, who was completely ignored, went straight to Liu Baishan, who had already gone to the wheat field, to complain. Liu Baishan was sun-drying the wheat. After hearing Liu Dahu¡¯s words, he did not even look at him and said, ¡°You seemed to be very free? Then let¡¯s get to work.¡± Liu Dahu said furiously, ¡°Uncle Shan, you¡¯re biased! You¡¯re not fair! Ever since you got a wife, I¡¯m no longer your favorite nephew!¡± Liu Baishan said, ¡°You have never been my favorite!¡± Liu Dahu only felt tired and destroyed. Liu Baihe handed Liu Dahu a bowl of water and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that your Uncle Shan has become much easier to talk to ever since he got a wife? Why did you provoke him?¡± Liu Dahu was very depressed. He said, ¡°Auntie Lan is completely unreasonable. She went against me. I scolded her, but she still angered me!¡± Liu Dahu felt that even the cold water that his father brought to him could not extinguish his anger. Liu Baihe said helplessly, ¡°No matter what, your Auntie Lan didn¡¯t do anything wrong. You, on the other hand, don¡¯t know how to respect your elders at all. Is that right?¡± Liu Dahu became even more depressed and went to think about life. Bai Feng¡¯s heart ached for her son, but she had no right to speak. She could only watch helplessly. On the other hand, Liu Dahua was only ten years old. She asked directly, ¡°Auntie Lan, where did you get these fruits? It¡¯s so delicious! Why haven¡¯t I seen them before?¡± Yang Cailan did not know how to reply. She could not possibly reply that she could communicate with the plants. So Yang Cailan said, ¡°I found them on the mountain. Is it delicious? Maybe I was lucky.¡± Liu Dahua nodded, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve eaten such delicious fruit! In the past, the fruits I encountered on the mountain were all very astringent and sour.¡± Then, Yang Cailan and Liu Dahua chatted for a while. Liu Dahua looked up at the sun and said to Yang Cailan, ¡°Auntie Lan, it¡¯s time for lunch. What are we going to make today?¡± ¡°Do you want me to cook?¡± Yang Cailan was stunned. ¡°Auntie Lan, you¡¯ve never cooked before?¡± Liu Dahua asked curiously. ¡°No!¡± Yang Cailan nodded. However, after she finished speaking, she realized that there was a problem with what she said. She had never done it before, but the original Yang Cailan had done it. Yang Cailan quickly added, ¡°I only know how to cook the food to be edible¡­¡± Liu Dahua laughed and said, ¡°Let me do it then.¡± Hearing that, Yang Cailan could not help but sigh. The children of poor families were really young. They were only ten years old, but they could already cook. The three of them went to the kitchen. There was only wild boar meat and no vegetables. Yang Cailan took a look and could not find anything to cook. She said, ¡°Wait for me for a while. I¡¯ll go find some food!¡± After saying that, Yang Cailan ran out, not giving the two children any time to react. Yang Cailan went to a large patch of grass. She first communicated with the grass for a while, then walked in a direction. She first saw a nest of pheasants¡¯ eggs and two pheasants whose feet were entangled in the grass. Yang Cailan accepted it without hesitation. Of course, there were other rewards as well. When Yang Cailan reached home, she shouted, ¡°Dahua, Dabao, come out quickly!¡± The two kids ran out and saw what Yang Cailan had gotten. They could not believe their eyes. Those were peerless treasures after all. Not only would they be able to eat pork today, but they would also be able to eat pheasants. Yang Cailan was simply a good aunt to them. ¡°Hold it down. I¡¯ll kill the pheasant first. If someone sees it, they¡¯ll definitely come and freeload!¡± Liu Dahua stepped forward and pressed down on the pheasant¡¯s neck, instructing Liu Dabao to work. Nowadays, many were all living in poverty. Some families could barely eat their fill, let alone eat meat. At this point, Yang Cailan did not know what to do. After all, she was a plant and had never killed a living thing. She could only watch the two children busy themselves. When Liu Baishan and the others came back, they saw a table full of dishes. There were pheasant, eggs, and pork. They were completely stunned. ¡°Whose house did you steal it from? How much do you have to compensate me for this¡­¡± Bai Feng subconsciously closed the door and asked seriously.
