426 Spreading Evil
Madam Wei teased him. “Other than dogs, don’t you have anything else you like?”
She had taken him to see many girls, all of whom fitted his criteria, but he did not like any of them.
Liu Erlang shrank his neck and ate silently.
Madam Wei looked at Liu Erlang and was angry and helpless. She almost shouted. “You might as well find a pig.”
Liu Dalang picked up a piece of fish for Madam Wei. “Mother, eat more fish.”
Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang and felt much better. Although Tang An had a weak personality, fortunately, she was a good person and was compatible with her Dalang. She was not worried about him at all. Tang An’s body was a little weak now. In a few years, when she put on some weight, they could start thinking about having a child.
Liu Sanniang was also engaged with Chu Yan. He was also a good person. Next year, it would be time to choose a wedding day for the two of them.
When Madam Wei thought of Liu Erlang, her good mood was all gone.
She knew that Liu Erlang liked plump women. She thought that it would be easy to find a wife for Liu Erlang, but she did not expect it to be the most difficult task.
Since April, she had introduced at least six to seven good girls to Liu Erlang.
But Madam Wei didn’t expect this kid to be so picky. She looked at him and felt that he was an eyesore. “Get lost after eating.”
Liu Erlang wiped his mouth. “Mother, enjoy your meal. I’ll leave first.”
Liu Dalang had also finished eating.
“I’m going to the backyard to check on the horses.”
Mr. Liu stood up and went out. Madam Wei sighed.
Madam Wei said, “Sanniang, can you see if your second brother will ever get married? He’s rejected so many girls to the point that even the matchmakers are fed up and have stopped introducing girls to him.”
If he was destined to be a bachelor, she would give up on him.
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Second Brother will sooner or later get married. Mother, don’t be anxious. Good things take time to happen.”
Her second brother would remain single until Ye Niuniu showed up.
If nothing unexpected happened, her second brother would be engaged on the 15th of August this year. In her previous life, Liu Erlang passed away before her. He had spent his life with his wife, Ye Niuniu. Such a good marriage was a blessing.
Although many things were different in this life, the predestined fate would not change.
Madam Wei looked at Liu Sanniang and asked seriously. “Sanniang, are you really not lying to me?”
Liu Sanniang didn’t want Madam Wei to worry. “Mother, I’m really not lying to you. Second Brother just hasn’t met the right person yet.”
Madam Wei was relieved to hear that.
“I really don’t know what kind of girl can catch your second brother’s eye.”
The few girls that the matchmaker chose were not bad. But Liu Erlang did not fancy even of them. She was afraid that he would eventually die alone, but this worry was unnecessary.
Hearing her daughter say that Liu Erlang would be married surely, Madam Wei was a little curious. What kind of girl could make Liu Erlang like her?
Liu Sanniang smiled when she thought of Ye Niuniu, but did not say anything.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before her second brother met Ye Niuniu.
Niuniu Ye had a round face and fair skin. When she smiled, there were two dimples on her face and her eyes were curved. She was very good-looking but a little overweight. However, when Liu Erlang saw her, he swore to himself that he had to marry her, no matter what.
In the memories of Liu Sanniang’s previous life, Ye Niuniu never lost weight, but Liu Erlang liked her nonetheless.
As long as Second Sister-in-law joined them, their family would be complete. It would be no different from her previous life.
Liu Sanniang helped Madam Wei clean up the dishes.
Not long after she returned to her house, Madam Wei came over.
She was holding a box.
Liu Sanniang looked at the box curiously. Madam Wei smiled and opened the box.
Inside was a piece of yellow cloth. Madam Wei took it out and carefully opened it. Inside was a peace knot with a round white jade in the middle. “Sanniang has grown up, and I can’t be by your side all the time.”
Liu Sanniang felt warm inside. “Thank you, Mother.”
Madam Wei sighed. Her daughter had grown up eventually. She was happy in her heart and only hoped that this peace knot could protect her daughter’s life.
Liu Sanniang hugged Madam Wei and leaned against her. She took a deep breath. It was sweet.
Her mother’s love had always been sweet.
Madam Wei stroked Liu Sanniang’s hair. “Sanniang, I wish you a safe journey. Rest early.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
After Madam Wei left, Liu Sanniang placed the knot beside her pillow and fell asleep.
In a daze, she felt as if she was in the clouds. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was really in the middle of the clouds.
She tried to look at the land below and saw a black figure.
The figure stretched out his hand and black smoke was released from his hand.
After releasing the black smoke, many golden lights flew into his body. He looked satisfied.
Then like lightning, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Liu Sanniang woke up, it was already dawn.
Recalling the dream, she did not know what the dream was trying to tell her.
Was the evil seeds planted by that black figure?
Liu Sanniang got out of bed. Madam Wei woke up early and was making pancakes in the kitchen.
When Liu Sanniang smelled the fragrance of onions, she entered the kitchen and asked sweetly. “Mother, what are you cooking? It smells so good.”
She could smell it from afar.
Liu Sanniang walked up to Madam Wei and hugged her. She closed her eyes and rubbed against Madam Wei’s shoulder.
Madam Wei’s heart almost melted. Ignoring that Chu Yan was also around, she reached out and grabbed a piece of pancake and fed it to her. “Try it.”
Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and swallowed. “Yes, it’s delicious.”
She licked her lips. “It’s really delicious. Thank you, Mother.”
