Chapter 65: A Bag With Silver

If this blind date failed, Tang An would be sold to a man in his thirties for five taels by her aunt.

Third Madam Tang had asked around. That family was not good.

However, Third Madam Tang was not sure if it would work this time. After all, Tang An had a younger brother and was very weak.

The Liu family was quite well-off and probably didn’t need Tang An to work. But it was still a question if Madam Wei would like her to be her daughter-in-law.

As Third Madam Tang spoke, she observed Madam Wei’s expression.

Madam Wei smiled. “Come in and sit down.”

Third Madam Tang tugged her sleeve. “An’an, look up.”

Tang An bit his lip and looked up at Madam Wei nervously. “Hello, Auntie Wei. My name is Tang An.”

Clunk.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground attracted their attention.

Liu Dalang was struck dumb at what he saw. A clang brought him back to his senses and he realized that he had lost his composure.

He immediately picked up the wood on the ground and walked towards the backyard.

When no one was looking, he smiled and blushed. It was actually her. The person he was blind dating with was actually her.

In an instant, his mood improved and Liu Dalang felt much lighter when he walked.

Tang An was as shocked as Liu Dalang. She did not expect her blind date to be Liu Dalang.

After missing the previous blind date, Tang An no longer had any hope. She came here, prepared to be made a fool of. However, when she saw Liu Dalang, she was surprised and had a mixed feeling.

That day on the street, she was at a loss and helpless. Liu Dalang reached out to help. Ignoring her rejection, he carried Tang Yuan to his house. His tall and strong figure left an indelible impression on Tang An.

After he sent them home that day, Tang An heard her brother whisper, saying that he wished Liu Dalang to be his brother-in-law.

Tang An reprimanded Tang Yuan and told him not to spout nonsense.

Tang Yuan, who never talked back, replied stubbornly that Liu Dalang was tall and strong and could definitely protect her.

Tang An had confused feelings. Would he like her?

Third Madam Tang chatted with Madam Wei for a while. Madam Wei brought out a fish and some sugar and handed them to Tang An. “I heard that you have a brother at home. Take these back to nourish his body.”

Tang An lowered her head and refused to take them. “Auntie Wei, there’s no need.”

Madam Wei stuffed the things into Tang An’s hand and patted her hand. “Take them.”

Third Madam Tang smiled. Madam Wei was very friendly and didn’t seem to dislike Tang An.

She smiled. “An’an, take it. You can’t reject an elder’s kindness.”

Tang An was left with no choice but accept the gift.

Third Madam Tang then left with Tang An.

Although Liu Dalang looked like he didn’t care, he had been paying attention to the conversation in the courtyard. As soon as they left, he put down his work and looked at Madam Wei nervously. “Mother.”

Madam Wei looked at Liu Dalang and suddenly felt that her son had grown up and become a man.

Madam Wei smiled. “Let’s talk inside.”

After returning to the house and sitting down, Madam Wei asked Liu Dalang to sit next to her. Madam Wei touched Liu Dalang’s head and looked at him gently. “Dalang, do you like that girl?”

Liu Dalang smiled. “I’ll listen to Mom.”

Madam Wei smiled. “You’re a good child. You’ve always been good and sensible since you were young, unlike Erlang.”

Liu Dalang listened silently. He always knew that his mother loved her children dearly.

“Tang An is a good girl. She’s kind-hearted and sensible. If you don’t have any objections, I’ll start talking about marriage with Third Madam Tang.”

Madam Wei wanted to find a sensible wife for Liu Dalang so that the family would be more harmonious in the future.

Liu Dalang nodded.

Madam Wei didn’t want her son to regret in the future, so she said again, “Dalang, though I want to find you a sensible wife, I won’t thrust one upon you. It depends on what you like. Tang An is thin and weak. I’m afraid you won’t like her.”

Liu Dalang smiled and said awkwardly, “Mother, actually, I met her last time. She’s poor, but we can take good care of her.”

Madam Wei was stunned. “Last…? Last time?”

Liu Dalang told Madam Wei about what happened earlier.

Madam Wei smiled. “It seems like you two are fated.”

Liu Dalang was also happy. After seeing that it was Tang An, he was relieved and even started thinking about their future. He had agreed, but what about Tang An?

Madam Wei smiled. “Don’t worry, it will work out.”

Liu Dalang was already 17 years old. Now that he had a girl he liked, after he turned 18 years old, the family would start preparing for the wedding. It didn’t matter if Tang An was thin and weak. When she married him, they would take care of her.

After Liu Dalang’s marriage was settled, Liu Erlang’s marriage would be on the agenda. After that, it would be Liu Sanniang’s turn. After her three children were married, Madam Wei would be relieved.

Liu Dalang touched his head. “Mother, thank you.”

Madam Wei was extremely happy.

At night, when the family was eating together, Liu Erlang couldn’t help but ask. “Mother, how did the blind date go?”

Madam Wei said sheepishly, “You really love to gossip, don’t you?”

Liu Erlang chuckled. “I just want to know who my future sister-in-law is.”

“It hasn’t been decided yet. You’ll know when it is decided.”

Madam Wei picked up a piece of food for Liu Erlang. “Eat it. Even food can’t stop your mouth.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. Hearing Madam Wei’s thoughts, she knew that the blind date was successful.

As long as Big Brother had no objections, there would be no problem.

And Big Brother liked Tang An a lot.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door. Liu Erlang got up to open it.

After a while, Liu Erlang came in with a money bag in his hand. He looked a little surprised. “Mom, this is all silver…”

Madam Wei frowned. Madam Wei took the money bag and asked, “Who gave it to you?”

There was really silver inside.

Liu Erlang looked at Liu Sanniang. “He said that his name is Lin Zheng and that this is what Sanniang deserves. He said that Magistrate Wei is grateful to Sanniang but he is too busy to come. Then Lin Zheng thrust this bag to me and left.”
