Before they left the house, they heard a knock on the door.
Tang Yuan went to open the door. When he saw Liu Dng, he was full of smiles. “Brother.”
Liu Dng nodded. “Where’s your sister?”
Liu Dng was still worried, so he came over early to check in on Tang An.
Tang Yuan smiled. “Sister and I were just about to go to plow thend.”
Liu Dng was sincerely concerned about the two of them. Tang Yuan liked his brother-inw from the bottom of his heart, but he still had to call him Brother Dng because his sister wasn’t married to him yet.
Liu Dng touched Tang Yuan’s head. “I’m engaged to your sister. You should call me Brother-inw.”
Tang Yuan chuckled and immediately called out. “Brother-inw.”
Tang An blushed. “Why are you here?”
He came to deliver talismans to herst night and came again in the morning.
Liu Dng looked at Tang An. “I’m here to see if there’s anything I can help you with. Are you feeling unwell?”
He mainly wanted to see if Tang An was feeling unwell.
Tang An shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m fine.”
She just did not have a good appetite for fish today. She didn’t consider that as feeling unwell.
Liu Dng looked around and was relieved to see that Tang An was fine. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to plow thend.”
Tang An wanted to reject it, but Tang Yuan already handed the hoe to Liu Dng. “Thank you, Brother-inw.”
Liu Dng liked to hear him call him brother-inw. He nodded and took the hoe.
Liu Dng carried the hoe on his shoulder. On the way, he said, “Yuan, buy a calf and raise it. In the future, there will be a cow to help you plow thend. You can lend it to others and earn some money.”
Tang Yuan will only be 11 next year. He was too young and could not go out to work for the next few years. If he raised a calf, it would be able to plow thend in a year or so.
Tang Yuan smiled. “I’ll consider Brother-inw’s suggestion.”
The betrothal money given by the Liu family was 30 taels of silver. It was a lot, but he did not want to use it. He wanted to keep it for his sister. The Liu family valued his sister, and he did not want his sister to have no dowry at all on her wedding day.
Therefore, he wasn’t going to consider buying a calf for now.
Next year, he would definitely take back all thend that belonged to his family and nt it. At the end of the year, he could save up enough for a calf.
Soon, he would be left at home alone. He needed to take care of himself and the house well so that his sister wouldn’t be worried about him.
Liu Dng watched as Tang Yuan fell in deep thought. He raised his hand to touch his head and said, “Yuan is a really good kid.”
Tang Yuan was happy to be praised. He looked at Liu Dng who was tall and muscr and thought that he should eat more and grow into a man like him.
Looking at the two of them, Tang An felt sweet inside.
Liu Dng only went back at night.
When he returned, it was just about time for dinner. Liu Eng went to get Liu Dng a bowl and chopsticks. Liu Dng couldn’t help but look at Liu Sanniang. After dinner, Liu Eng went out to walk General ck.
The winter night was cold. Liu Sanniang returned to her room early to embroider by the firece. She was making winter clothes for her parents.
Knock, knock, knock.
Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Sanniang said, “Come in.”
Liu Dng pushed the door open and entered the room. He first looked at the window to see if there was any gap before sitting down beside her. “Sanniang, I want to ask you something.”
Liu Sanniang pinned the needle on the embroidery rack. “Brother, ask away.”
Liu Dng asked directly. “Sanniang, did you see something? Tell me the truth, will something happen to An?”
Liu Sanniang did not expect Liu Dng to be so sensitive. Facing Liu Dng’s serious gaze, Liu Sanniang nodded. “Indeed something will happen to Tang An, but I’m not sure what it is exactly. That’s why I instructed Tang Yuan to tell us immediately should something happen.”
Liu Dng frowned. “Is it serious?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Dng and panicked. From reading his face, Liu Sanniang understood that If something really happened to Tang An, her brother would never be able to marry again in his lifetime.
Liu Dng’s heart tightened. “Sanniang, I really like her.”
Other than Tang An, he had never thought about other women.
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Dng and said, “Brother, watch her closely during this period of time. If anything happens, tell me.”
Liu Dng nodded. He stood up and touched Liu Sanniang’s head. “Thank you, Sanning. I’m lucky to have you as my sister.”
After saying that, Liu Dng turned around and left.
Some scenes appeared in Liu Sanniang’s mind. She called out to stop Liu Dng. “Brother, no matter what happens, will you always believe in Tang An?”
Liu Sanniang did not know how to put what she saw into words. She saw Tang An’s stomach grow bigger and many people were pointing a finger at her.
If her stomach was big, it meant that she was pregnant. How could Tang An be pregnant? Even if she was pregnant, she shouldn’t be criticized by others since she was married to Liu Dng.
Liu Dng did not know why Liu Sanniang asked this. He looked at Liu Sanniang firmly and nodded. “Yes, no matter what happens, I will believe her.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Dng’s face and became even more worried.
After thinking about it, she said, “Brother, something will happen to Tang An, and it’s rted to you. Come over and let me see what’s going on.”
Liu Dng went over and sat down without hesitation.
Liu Dng asked. “What do you want me to do?”
Liu Sanniang focused all her attention on reading Liu Dng’s face and she was shocked to see the rope that represented his marriage getting burnt on one end while the other end was intact.
Danger was approaching Tang An, but Liu Dng wouldn’t be affected.
Liu Dng didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that it would affect Liu Sanniang’s concentration. He had never seen Liu Sanniang like this. At this moment, she seemed to have seen his life through her eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
