Liu Sanniang said in a concerned voice, "Where do you live? Your brother is still weak. What if he faints again on the way?"
When Liu Dalang heard that, his heart tightened.
That's right. If Tang An fainted on the way, what could she do? She also looked so weak that she would collapse at any time.
Tang An smiled and replied. "It's alright. It'll be fine if we walk slower."
Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Dalang. "First Brother, why don't you send them home?"
Liu Dalang already had this thought in mind. He was just wondering how to put it in a way that wouldn't make him sound rude when Liu Sanniang put forward the suggestion.
Without a word, Liu Dalang walked up to Tang Yuan and flung him on his back. Tang Yuan immediately screamed in fear.
Tang An covered his mouth as well, shocked by how strong Liu Dalang was.
Without further ado, Liu Dalang walked out.
Tang An looked at Liu Sanniang and expressed her gratitude again. "Thank you, thank you. I'll wash the handkerchief and return it to you."
With that, she quickly ran after Liu Dalang.
Liu Sanniang smiled. Her power had become stronger. Without touching Liu Dalang, she could sense what he was thinking.
The type that Liu Erlang didn't like happened to be the kind that Liu Dalang liked.
Tang An was thin and weak now, but Liu Sanniang remembered that after she married Liu Dalang, she started to get plumper and was also considered a beauty.
Liu Erlang didn't understand what Liu Dalang was thinking. He was a little disappointed. "What's wrong with First Brother? Can't he see how skinny she is? He'll definitely regret his choice."
Liu Sanniang was speechless.
Her eldest and second brothers' preferences were worlds apart.
Liu Sanniang returned to her room. The shoes she made for Chu Yan were ready, but she had not found a chance to give them to him till now.
Liu Sanniang was in a dilemma. If she didn't give them to him, she was afraid that Chu Yan would come after her like last time. However, at the same time, she didn't want to give them to him.
In her previous life, she had never made shoes for anyone other than her family. She did not want to make shoes for this guy.
Liu Sanniang looked at this pair of shoes embroidered with a ripple pattern.
She thought for a moment and eventually decided to give it to Chu Yan.
If she left them in the house and Madam Wei found them out, she wouldn't be able to explain it.
Madam Wei had not returned yet, and she probably would not be back too early today.
Mr. Liu went to work, and Liu Erlang would also go out later.
Liu Sanniang put the shoes in the basket and left.
Chu Yan was a blacksmith, and his skills seemed to be pretty good. Many of the things in her family were made by him. Madam Wei had even praised him for being reliable.
Chu Yan's shop was on South Street. There were three blacksmith shops clustered together.
Liu Sanniang knew that Chu Yan's shop was at the end of South Street. She went straight there. There were no other customers at this moment.
Liu Sanniang went in.
Chu Yan looked up at her. "Is it done?"
He had waited for almost two months, and the shoes were finally delivered.
Liu Sanniang nodded. She wanted to close the door, but she felt that this would make people gossip even more. She watched as Chu Yan got up and seemed to be about to walk over. Liu Sanniang was so scared that she wanted to cry. She quickly said, "Don't come over. I'll just put it here."
As expected, Chu Yan stood still and smiled. "Alright."
Liu Sanniang blushed. Chu Yan was very good-looking. When he didn't smile, he was especially cold, making it difficult for people to approach him. However, when he smiled, he looked stunning.
Liu Sanniang lowered her head and recalled the few times she had interacted with Chu Yan. He was simply a lunatic.
A thought seemed to flash across her mind and she was stunned.
She had never heard what Chu Yan was thinking, not even once.
Liu Sanniang was a little panicked. "Now we are even."
With that, she scurried away.
Chu Yan smiled and walked over to pick up the shoes. He could imagine her look when she was making the shoes. It was a look of frustration and helplessness.
Chu Yan put away the shoes and smiled.
In this lifetime, they would be entangled forever.
What Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang did not know was that across the street, a pair of sinister eyes were watching this scene.
Liu Shun's eyes were deep.
How could a smelly blacksmith be worthy of such a beautiful woman?
At the thought of Chu Yan in his dream, Liu Shun hated him even more. He couldn't believe that a smelly blacksmith could become so powerful in the future. In this life, he would do everything to stop Chu Yan from joining the army.
At the thought that Liu Sanniang actually made shoes for Chu Yan, Liu Shun clenched his fists. He thought that Liu Sanniang was a good woman, but it turned out that she was just a promiscuous woman.
She even dared to reject his marriage proposal. Such a woman was not worthy of being his wife.
Liu Shun left quietly.
With the memories from his dream, he remembered everything, and his ambition had also grown bigger.
When Liu Sanniang returned home, she still couldn't understand why she could hear what others were thinking and even sense what others were feeling and experiencing, but she couldn't sense what Chu Yan was thinking.
Liu Sanniang was even more certain that Chu Yan was not a good person and wanted to stay away from him.
At night, Madam Wei returned. Her face was no longer angry as she said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. The blind date for next time is also set."
Madam Wei had gone to look for Granny Tang, the matchmaker, angrily and questioned her.
Granny Tang was also confused, so she took Madam Wei to look for Tang An, but Tang An and her brother weren't at home. Granny Tang swore with her life that Tang An wasn't a divorced woman with a child.
After telling Madam Wei about Tang An and her brother, Madam Wei was no longer angry. She thought that there must be a misunderstanding, so they arranged for them to meet again the other day.
The first thing Madam Wei wanted in a daughter-in-law was her character. Madam Wei was satisfied with Tang An's character, so she decided to give her another chance.
When she came back, she was no longer angry.
"Dalang, don't take it to heart. Today, there was a misunderstanding. I don't know who that woman you saw was."
Madam Wei was worried that Liu Dalang would feel angry, so she explained very clearly.
Liu Dalang was distracted. "Mother, you can decide for me."
Liu Sanniang recalled what she had promised Magistrate Wei and asked. "First Brother, did you see what that woman looked like today? She might be a human trafficker."
Liu Dalang frowned. "Yes, I did."
At the thought of the woman holding the child, Liu Dalang felt uncomfortable. It was his first blind date, and he even talked to that woman, so of course he remembered her very well.
