Translator: LiamHW

Hearing that, Song Qinghan turned his head over and asked, trying to confirm, “Marry? How? Will he marry Dahu as a concubine? ”

As a femina male who never married yet, Xiaoqing got awkward to say that thing out, but since he had mentioned the matter, he then simply explained in detail, saying, “He wants his femina son marry Dahu as a wedded husband, not just a concubine, and I heard that he had prepared an affluent dowry.”

Wu Dahu nodded and said to Xiaoqing, “Okay, we’re informed, thanks for telling.”

Noticing that Wu Dahu was impatient to leave, Song Qinghan could only shut his mouth up to ask any further questions.

However, along the way they headed back home, he looked at Wu Dahu in a rather strange sight, as if he aimed to examine the man from bottom to the top.

He didn’t expect that his husband would be so attractive that not only the people in the same village would be enchanted, but someone in the nearby village too. And it was the son of the head villager, he must be rather extraordinary.

Wu Dahu noticed Song Qinghan’s gaze, he thought for a while and then tried to explain, saying, “His son is just with an average look, but he gets a higher standard. Therefore, he is twenty years old and hasn’t married yet. Thus, people around the village know him, he being in that age gets no attraction. If he keeps being single and not marrying, he is doomed to be alone till his death. That’s why!”

Song Qinghan snorted twice, saying jealously, “Well, you are not that kind of childe thing. Then how did he choose you? it’s probably not the deal of his dad, but his own. Am I right?”

Wu Dahu paused, saying in hesitation, “Fine, he did express once his affection to me, but I refused, well, in a clear-cut way. After that, he seemed to hold a grudge on me and said that he would never show up in front of me, ever. So, I would believe that it was his father’s decision.”

Song Qinghan looked at him with a shocked expression and uttered in anger, “Ah-ah? He even confessed to you! Then I am sure that it was his idea now. You can’t just believe him so easily. That he said he wouldn’t show up again is totally a bullshit. Deeply in his heart, he will never give you up. So he asked his dad to prepare a rich dowry trying to seduce you by that!”

Hearing that, Wu Dahu suddenly burst into laughter, and then held Song Qinghan’s hands, saying slowly, “I will never ever bow myself to any form of allures, money or whatever. You don’t have to worry about that!”

Being held by hands from Wu Dahu, Song Qinghan could clearly felt the sensation of rough yet warmth running through all over his body, it was like a sense of electric shock, making him numbed.

He got his ear tips red-rimmed and even forgot the words he was about to speak, but mumbled, “I… I am not worried about that, OK?”

The two held their hands together walking along the rural road leisurely. They totally ignored the peculiar look from the passengers. The air was full of sweetness and intimacy.

After they got home, Song Qinghan went to bed for a nap, and Wu Dahu went to cope with the fresh illicium verums, and then dried them in the yard.

After that, as he was about to sort the seasoning ingredients out, someone knocked on the door.

He walked over and opened the door. It was someone Wu Dahu familiar with, he then frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Well, they were not someone else, but who Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan had mentioned just then. The head villager from the nearby village, Xiang Tiange and, his son, Xiang Lvping.

When Xiang Lvping saw Wu Dahu, he subconsciously stroked his cheeks as if he wanted to make sure his makeup was perfectly fine on his face.

Xiang Tiange smile in a chuckle look, saying, “Dahu, it’s hard for you to live alone. Isn’t it?”

“No, it’s not.” answered Wu Dahu, as he showed no expression on his face.

Hearing that, Xiang Tiange was stunned and took back his hypocritical smile on his face. He continued to say, “Well, let me make it clear, you are not young any more, right? Just like Lvping. Both of you are mature enough to get married. Let’s forget about the past, and it’s time to step forward. Am I right?”

Wu Dahu frowned and said in a calm way, “I AM stepping forward, surely, happily.”

Noticing that Wu Dahu was trying to avoid his intention, Xiang Tiange then said directly, “Actually, I came today to ask if you are willing to marry my son. You don’t need to worry about the dowry thing, I have already prepared a shop in the town, 30 acres of land, and 500 silver coins, which is enough for you to be able to use for the rest of your life.”

When the old man mentioned the dowry, he gritted his teeth, it seemed that he had put all his fortune only to get his son married.

Xiang Lvping added, “You should marry me as a wedded husband, and I won’t allow you to marry concubines. Not any!”

Xiang Tiange glanced at his son with embarrassment. He coughed, saying slowly, “It can’t be possible for you not marrying any concubine, I fully understand that. But only two are allowed. No more. Otherwise, I will get justice for my son!”

Xiang Lvping glared at Xiang Tiange angrily and twisted his shoulder, saying, “Dad! How can you say something like that? I said NO concubine.”

Xiang Tiange tried to comfort his son, saying, “Okay, okay, my dear, how about just one, okay? Anyway, you will always be the center wedded one. He is all yours!”

Hearing that, Xiang Lvping snorted but agreed with reluctance.

Seeing the two in front chattering to each other, and didn’t even notice the appearance of him, Wu Dahu warned and interrupted, saying, “I’m sorry but I won’t marry him, please move a bit. I will close the door now.”

Xiang Lvping rushed over to the front of Wu Dahu with rage, pointing at his nose and saying, “What did you say? Why won’t you marry me? Aren’t you satisfied with the dowry? Or do you really think that you are the Mr Popularity? How dare you to reject me like that!”

Wu Dahu frowned and took a step back keeping himself a distance away from the almost insane and incredible man, he then said in coldness, “I don’t need your dowry. Moreover, I’m taken and getting hitched now. NEVER EVER try to disturb my life anymore!”

With such a noisy squabble outside, Song Qinghan couldn’t sleep for long. He walked out of the room rubbing his eyes, and asked, “What’s going on?”

“What the…?” gushed Xiang Lvping.

He suddenly raised his tune shouting at Song Qinghan with his eyes red-rimmed, saying jealously, “Him? No one doesn’t know that he was just a concubine kicked out by the Lin Family. And yet, he carries an unknown little bastard in his belly. He gets nothing but just a delicate face.”

Song Qinghan got himself stunned standing there and not knowing the current situation, but asked, “What? Is he the son of the head villager?”

Wu Dahu nodded and stood in front of Xiang Lvping, trying to block the way of Xiang Lvping who would probably rush over to hurt Song Qinghan. He then said in a low voice, “I don’t care what he got and what he lost. It’s none of your business. Head Villager Xiang, just leave here please!”

When Xiang Tiange noticed Song Qinghan’s face, he knew that his son got a faint possibility to be a rival with Song Qinghan, but he still insisted, saying, “Dahu, think about it. Appearance is a useless matter. The femina male will get ugly after he gives birth, and will be out of shape. It will be much more worthier to keep the fortune. Just think twice before make a decision.”

Xiang Lvping was still immersed in jealousy of Song Qinghan’s look. He pointed at him and shouted angrily, “You shameless bitch! If it wasn’t you resorting to any possible means to seduce my Dahu. I would have been his wedded husband NOW! You’d better leave him on your own. Or I will certainly destroy your damned face and throw you into the escorting brothel.”

Hearing that, the anger in Song Qinghan’s mind finally burst out, he stood there with a position of arms akimbo, saying, “What the… Look at yourself for god’s sake to find out who’s the real bitch! Aren’t you feeling shameless being rude and trying to get other’s husband? Look at yourself, please, I mean it, it would be a euphemism to describe that as ‘average one’. Let’s say it’s just weak-pale!”

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he mentioned the word “Weak-pale face”, that was a perfectly splendid word to describe such a vicious man out there.

Xiang Lvping was a little confused, but he understood the word “Pale”. He couldn’t help but touch his face with a great satisfaction, saying in proud, “This is the newest rouge I bought from the Rouge Shop. I know you never use this before, you pleb. Well, if you get yourself wise and leave Dahu. I will deliver you one pack of that, for my benevolence. What do you think?”

Song Qinghan laughed over the man’s arrogance and ignorance, but then gradually withdrew the look, speaking calmly to Wu Dahu, “Sweetheart, send our dearest guests out!”

Wu Dahu was about to pushed the man out before he shouted and became insane, but since he noticed Song Qinghan laughed all of a sudden, he paused. Currently, it was Song Qinghan taking the initiative to make that requirement. Wu Dahu pushed harshly the door and said with no mercy, “Head Villager Xiang, this way!”

Xiang Tiange wanted to use his feet to block the door, however, Wu Dahu got a better strength to push him out. The old man rubbed his feet, saying angrily, “How! This young man is such a wild one without education! Is that his etiquette to treat his guest? Ping, let’s leave here!”

However, he didn’t expect Xiang Lvping would slap him on his back, shouting, “How can you be such an impotent dad? You’ve messed everything up! Can’t you just be tougher on your attitude? I don’t believe that an ordinary hunter is able to frighten you, the head of the village.”

Xiang Tiange didn’t dare to fight back after being beaten up by his son. It seemed that he was accustomed with that. He said carefully, “Ping, my dear son, although I am the head of village, I’m not the head of his. I don’t have such a power to change his mind or force him to. There are various men out there, don’t be so picky! I remember someone, named Sun Tiedan…well, he gets a good look as well.”

Xiang Lvping wiped the tears off his face, saying with rage, “I don’t want him. He is just a toy boy, isn’t he? How can he compare to Dahu? Dahu is a real down-to-earth man with manhood. I don’t want those trashes but Dahu!”

His voice was sharp and ear-piercing, making Xiang Tiange headache and annoyed, he continued to say, “Fine, fine, we will have Wu Dahu! But he doesn’t even want to meet us now. We get no choice. How about this, let’s go back home first and let me conceive another idea. I will go negotiate with his head villager.”

Hearing the promise, Xiang Lvping finally stopped sobbing, snorting and turning around and then leaving.

Xiang Tiange sighed helplessly and gazed for a while at the door of Wu Dahu’s house. Then he followed up Xiang Lvping in behind.
