Chapter 367: Front Edge (36)
Ling Chuan's expression was also very subtle.
From the little brother's perspective, he can always see something extraordinary.
As for Zhang Siyuan himself, he didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said. He just frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Ah? Why not? I just told you that you are my best friend."
"I can't do that either." Looking at the big fool who said, "I'm sharing this with you because of you," the boy had a lot of complaints in his heart. He suddenly thought of the two elders of the Zhang family and asked hesitantly, "Besides me, who else have you told that making babies is more fun than fighting crickets?"
"Grandpa and grandma, but they were very angry after hearing what I said. Grandma even fainted. Grandpa also locked me up at home and didn't allow me to go out or mention my wife. It was clear that everything I said was true..."
Zhang Siyuan's excited mood calmed down. The more he spoke, the more aggrieved and sad he felt.
Seeing the tall boy huddled together, looking dejected, the young man finally took a deep breath and comforted him: "Don't be sad. It would be hard for any elder to accept what you have done, not to mention that your grandparents treat you like their own apple..."
Zhang Siyuan stared at him with wide eyes, as if the young man had betrayed their friendship.
The young man closed his mouth and changed the subject: "Do you remember what your wife looks like? She is so beautiful that she can be so obsessed with you, even if she is a man."
"Of course I remember, he is more handsome than you." Zhang Siyuan said without thinking.
But he couldn't describe the specific image, so he could only gesture to the boy and say that the two eyes were like this, the nose was like that, and the mouth was also red and soft...
Don’t people all look like this? Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And the mouth is not soft, is it hard?
The boy rolled his eyes speechlessly and said "oh" expressionlessly.
"I know. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Your wife is the most beautiful in the world."
"That's right!" Zhang Siyuan gave him an admiring look, "Liu Ze, you really have good taste, just like me."
The young man chuckled, "Are you praising others or yourself? Oh, it turns out that once this person's emotions are awakened, he will become smarter."
Zhang Siyuan didn't understand his teasing and raised his chin: "I'm smart. My wife praised me and said that I could learn it after being taught and it didn't hurt at all..."
"Ah, shut up! If you continue to talk about the things between you and your wife like this, your wife will really not come back!" The young man threatened when he realized that the silly young master was going to say something shocking in public again.
Zhang Siyuan was indeed stunned by his words. He covered his mouth with both hands in panic and shook his head, saying, "I won't say any more."
The young man was satisfied and said, "That's right."
Zhang Siyuan blinked, looked around, and then slowly put down his hand.
"You can't even say a word about it? Then how can I find a wife?"
"Do you really want to find him?"
"Yes! Siyuan's wife must live with Siyuan, forever!" said Zhang Siyuan.
The young man looked at him deeply and said, "Then I wish you good luck. But you should be careful with your words in the future. Don't mention anything about making a baby to anyone other than yourself, okay? Otherwise, if your wife hears it, she will be very angry with you and will never come back to see you again."
Zhang Siyuan's mouth drooped and he looked sad.
"But I've already told you, there are also grandpa and grandma..."
"Ahem!" The young man coughed, "It's okay, we will keep it a secret, he won't know."
Zhang Siyuan: "Really?"
Young man: “Of course.”
Ling Chuan just happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure, and a possibility instantly occurred to him: ...I'm afraid this secret can't be kept.
Yes, not far away, Yingying was standing against the wall with her hands folded in front of her chest. She looked at Zhang Siyuan with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she would kill him at any time.
Unfortunately, the two people who were still squatting and chatting with their backs to him were unaware of it.
Ling Chuan sighed, and silently suggested to light a candle for Zhang Siyuan in his heart. Perhaps this man would be able to see his long-cherished wife tonight.
It was similar to what Ling Chuan thought. Zhao Yingying would never let Zhang Siyuan off easily, even though he knew that Zhang Siyuan himself did not know what propriety was.
The next day, Zhang Siyuan came to see the boy with two dark circles under his eyes that had not yet subsided. He said excitedly that his wife had come to see him last night, that he knew his family, and that he was not allowed to talk nonsense in the future...
Zhang Siyuan was happy even when he was beaten.
Lingchuan and the little brother both twitched their lips as they looked at his dark circles under his eyes, their eyes filled with sympathy and pity.
Zhang Siyuan was happy, but the two elders of the Zhang family were unhappy and called him outrageous.
He originally thought that as time went by, Zhang Siyuan would slowly forget about the thief. As a result, his family stopped mentioning it, but he mentioned it outside! It would have been fine if he had mentioned it outside, but the evil man actually dared to come to his house and beat up his grandson!
What made them most uncomfortable was that their grandson was so happy even when he was beaten!
"The guards in the mansion have been strengthened, especially Yuan'er's yard. I have invited a few experts to watch it secretly. If that thief dares to come again, I will make sure he never returns!" Zhang Guanghong slammed the table and said.
Mrs. Zhang also hated the person who bullied her only grandson with gnashing teeth, but when she thought about her grandson treating that person as his daughter-in-law, her brows were shrouded in gloom again.
"Master, Yuan'er takes that evil villain too seriously. It's not a good idea to continue like this." Mrs. Zhang said with great sorrow.
How could Zhang Guanghong not know this?
"We can't let this go on any longer."
So the two of them discussed it and decided that they would have to choose a wife for their grandson, as it was a long and arduous journey after all. So they decided to find a greenhouse maid for Zhang Siyuan first. This way, he would be able to completely forget about the evil villain.
One night a few days later, Zhang Siyuan returned to his room, undressed and tied his belt. When he turned around, he saw a girl with a flushed face lying on his bed. His face suddenly changed and he was shocked.
He immediately grabbed his clothes and wrapped them back up, then angrily questioned the person on the bed: "Who are you? Why are you in my bed! Get off now!"
"Young master, my name is Qinglian. The old lady asked me to serve you." The girl looked a little helpless. When she sat up, a large area of white skin was exposed. She was only wearing a bellyband.
"I don't want it! I already have a wife! Get out now!" Zhang Siyuan was inexplicably irritable, and it was visible to the naked eye.
Qinglian's face turned pale, "But what did Qinglian do wrong? Young Master, let Qinglian serve you."
She spoke in a pleading tone, and then stood up to seduce Zhang Siyuan, who backed away in disgust.
"Leave me, or I'll get someone to blast you away!"
Zhang Siyuan turned around and ran out, while Qinglian, who was left behind by him, had a livid face. She was really afraid that he would call for help, so she could only get out of bed unwillingly...
"Grandma! Don't put anyone in my room anymore! I already have a wife!" The next day, Zhang Siyuan expressed his thoughts as soon as he saw Mrs. Zhang.
"Bang!" Without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to speak, Zhang Guanghong put down the teacup in his hand with a dark face, and the tea splashed out.
"Nonsense! When will my Zhang family have a granddaughter-in-law? If you are still thinking about that evil villain, just shut yourself up and think about it! Come out when you have figured it out!"
Zhang Siyuan turned his head to look at him, his dark eyes full of seriousness, "She is Siyuan's wife, Siyuan recognizes her, and she will be hers no matter how long it lasts."
"You! I think you have been bewitched by that evil villain!" Zhang Guanghong was furious, and then said without question: "From today on, Qinglian is your concubine. As for your real wife, I will pick a suitable candidate for you with your grandmother, but she must not be a shameless evil villain!"
Speaking of the people he hated, Zhang Guanghong was so angry that his teeth chattered and his facial features shifted, like an angry lion. The servants at the scene held their breath and were very cautious when they saw him. Even Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but look at him with a blaming look.
However, Zhang Siyuan was not frightened by his majesty. Instead, he ignited the irritability that had been suppressed for a day and a night, and met his angry eyes in resistance: "I don't want it! If she comes into my room again, I will... I will beat her! I will beat anyone who comes! I will beat her until she dares not to come!"
"You dare!" Zhang Guanghong shouted. Perhaps irritated by Zhang Siyuan's stubborn and fearless look, he grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at Zhang Siyuan.
Zhang Siyuan was also too stubborn to dodge and was hit directly on the forehead, with the hot tea leaves spilling on his face.
"Ah!" Mrs. Zhang jumped up with a scream, rushed to Zhang Siyuan, held a handkerchief to help him wipe, and turned around from time to time to scold Zhang Guanghong.
"Master! Just say what you want to say! Why did you hit him? Yuan'er's forehead is swollen from your blow. He's not smart to begin with, and you hit him on the forehead! Luckily you didn't cut it."
After talking about Master Zhang, she carefully examined Zhang Siyuan's wound, her eyes full of distress, "Yuan'er, does it hurt? Were you burned just now? Grandma will take you to apply medicine."
Zhang Siyuan's eyes were red, but he grinned and said nothing, allowing Mrs. Zhang to pull him.
Zhang Guanghong regretted it the moment he threw the things away. No matter how angry he was, it subsided at that moment, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Finally, to avoid further conflict between the two, Mrs. Zhang took Zhang Siyuan away, saying that she was going to apply medicine...
Young Master Zhang has been in a low mood recently. He doesn't want to stay at home or play cricket fighting. Finally, he runs to the boy's stall and stares blankly.
"What's wrong with you?" The young man who wanted to be a salted fish vendor was forced to be under the spotlight and had no choice but to ask Zhang Siyuan about his situation.
Zhang Siyuan lowered his head and slowly told his brother what had happened at home. He then asked his younger brother what he should do to make his grandparents stop forcing him and accept his wife.
Younger brother: “…”
Lingchuan: "..."
"Liu Ze, are you listening to me?" Zhang Siyuan looked dim.
The young man immediately replied: "Of course I'm listening. You asked me a question, so I'm thinking."
"Oh! Do you have any solution? And my wife hasn't come to see me since the last time." The light in Zhang Siyuan's eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by loneliness.
"...No, your grandparents are still counting on you to carry on their family line. To be honest, it's very difficult for them to accept a granddaughter-in-law who can't have children." The young man said pertinently.
"Is having a baby so important?" Zhang Siyuan was a little distracted.
Young man: "Well... some people say it's very important, so important that it's engraved into their bones."
Zhang Siyuan was in a sad mood and stopped talking, and the young man didn't talk to him.
Zhang Siyuan went to look for his little brother more and more often. The two elders of the Zhang family noticed that their grandson's attitude towards the little brother was very different. In order to turn him back on track, they actually had other ideas.
That's right, they actually wanted the young man to marry Zhang Siyuan, and not his husband, because the young man had been married before and his reputation was average.
Of course, if you want to marry someone, you can't be picky, so she promised a lot of benefits and said that she would not treat the young man unfairly.
The young man flatly refused, saying that he and Zhang Siyuan were just ordinary friends and there was no feeling beyond this line.
The two elders of the Zhang family were hesitant and didn't want to let go of such a good candidate.
The young man turned around and scolded Zhang Siyuan, saying that he had set his sights on him, and told him not to come and play with him in the future, since Liu Baolian had already been brought into the Feng family.
After being turned down by his young brother, Zhang Siyuan hurried home and told the Zhang family's two elders again that he didn't want anyone else they could marry, and even if his wife never came back, she was still his wife.
Zhang Siyuan was so stubborn that he went against them again and again just for a person like that, which made the two elders of the Zhang family confused and extremely upset.
So he made up his mind to use tough measures to correct the person.
One night, after Zhang Siyuan ate the soup cooked by Mrs. Zhang, his body felt like it was on fire, just like that day.
He was sent back to his room with a dry mouth and the door was locked from the outside.
He was so stubborn that he just felt uncomfortable and had no idea that he had been drugged. He staggered to get some water.
But it was no use. The more he drank, the hotter he became. At one point, he even had a tendency to raise his head. He couldn't help but think back to that day and became even more anxious.
Just then, Qinglian, wearing a gauze, got up from his bed.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Siyuan turned his head abruptly, staring in shock: "Why are you here! You...ha...get out!" After saying that, he swallowed a few times in embarrassment and tugged at his collar with his hands, trying to relieve the discomfort.
Qinglian did this under the order of the lady, so how could she possibly listen to him?
She walked quickly towards him, undressing him and said, "Young master, Qinglian will serve you carefully...ah!" However, she was pushed away by Zhang Siyuan with great force.
"You...ah...get out!" Zhang Siyuan's voice was filled with panic. His breathing became heavier because of Qinglian's approach.
"Young Master..." Qinglian called again, her eyes filled with tears, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Zhang Siyuan ignored her. Chihong stood up by supporting herself on the table and staggered towards the door.
"Young master, you can't go out. Madam has asked someone to lock the door." Qinglian followed closely, but when she tried to pull him forward, Zhang Siyuan waved her away again.
It was not until then that Zhang Siyuan realized that he was locked inside.
"Wife, wife, where are you? Siyuan feels bad..." Zhang Siyuan couldn't open the door, so he cried, and his tears fell one by one like scattered beads.
"Young Master..."
"Get out of here!!!" Zhang Siyuan slapped Qinglian's hand away and dodged to the side.
His blurry vision was shaking and swaying. Zhang Siyuan felt very uncomfortable and felt like his body was going to explode. He could hardly bear it anymore.
[Little fool, why are you crying? I didn’t even cry… The person looked down at him, her gorgeous face revealing helplessness.]
Zhang Siyuan called out "wife" again, and then, to Qinglian's astonishment, he slammed his head against the pillar.
"Bam—"
"what--"
It hurts... Zhang Siyuan's consciousness drifted away amid the woman's screams.
Closing his eyes, he thought of the deserted courtyard where he was hiding.
Because his father and mother passed away and didn’t want him anymore, his grandparents didn’t want him either, his grandfather was always with those people, his grandmother kept crying, he was very hungry and cold, no one wanted him because he was a fool…
