Scum Male's Whitewashing Manual Chapter 26

Late at night, in an expensive hotel, a newly married couple sat nervously in bed, cheering each other up.

“It's all right. Even if it's positive, let's pay more attention. After the child was born I will take care of him, you can still go to school. ”

Listening to the comfort of the man beside her, Yi Zhilan relaxed a little. They both looked up together.

Two bars…

She's really pregnant!

Before Yi Zhilan could react, her hand was grasped by Wei Mingyan. The man's eyes were bright and full of excitement, completely without the calmness of comforting her just now. “Lan Lan, I'm going to be a father!”

“We are going to have a baby!"

Without giving Yi Zhilan the chance to panic and time to think about the future, Wei Mingyan started planning with a smile on his face, full of excitement. “We need to buy a crib, clothes for babies, and toys…”

In the end, he was almost incoherent.

Yi Zhilan really didn't expect her lover's reaction would be so big. After all, in her impression, Wei Mingyan's image has always been very stable, just like a big tree, sheltering her who knows nothing.

Proposing a marriage, getting married, and coming to this strange city. He planned their future in an orderly way. Even today's pregnancy test stick, are all arranged by Wei Mingyan.

Now, as he said this, his eyes were even a little red.

Yi Zhilan was frightened. She subconsciously hugged the man and felt a little uneasy.

Wei Mingyan leaned on her shoulder like a child. The man's magnetic voice was hoa.r.s.e because of excitement. He whispered, “Do you know Lan Lan? When I was a child, every time I was beaten by that man… I thought that if I had my own child, I would love him, care for him, protect him well, and not beat him, nor let other children bully him. ”

“Every time I saw those children with toys in their hands… I fantasized that when I made a lot of money, I would buy them for him so that he would be envied by the whole village for having a good father. ”

He hugged the girl with his hand around her back, smelled the faint fragrance on her body and said huskily, “thank you for making me a father."

Listening to her lover's words, Yi Zhilan felt sad. The fear and confusion of being a mother for the first time slowly disappeared.

She knew that now this seemingly powerful man needed her comfort.

The girl's slender fingers fell on the man's slender hands. She affirmed, “Mingyan, you will be a good father. ”

Perhaps because of remembering the past; Wei Mingyan's eyes were still red, but a silly smile appeared on his face. He leaned over and his lips fell on Yi Zhilan's forehead.

He gently he said, “Lan Lan, you will be a good mother, too. ”

They lie in bed, close together, and turned off the lights. But this night, they both couldn't sleep.

“I heard that the child will move in the mother's stomach. Why don't I listen?”

Yi_Zhilan felt a little hesitant, "will it really move?”

“I've heard people say it, so give it a try!”

So, in the dark, Yi Zhilan leaned against the headboard and felt her lover stick his head on to her flat lower abdomen. The room was quiet for a while and there was no movement. She could not help but ask, “did it move?”

“It seems that there isn't any movement…” Wei Mingyan gave a somewhat lost answer and asked boyishly, “Does he not like me?”

Yi Zhilan; a novice mother, didn't understand it too. She touched her belly and hesitated. “Is it too small?”

“It's all right. It's going to grow up soon. ” He was very quick to comfort himself and was happy again.

He stopped trying to listen to the fetal movement, returned to his position, and took the girl into his arms. He then gently coaxed, “go to sleep, you have school tomorrow."

Yi Zhilan fell asleep, lying in the arms of her man. With his hands on her stomach, she slowly closed her eyes.

In the dream, there was white everywhere. A little fat baby looked at her with his thumb in his mouth.

Seeing her coming, it sweetly let out a cry, “mommy. ”

Yi Zhilan walked over pleasantly surprised and picked him up. The child kissed her and said, “I love mommy and daddy."

In bed, she leaned against Wei Mingyan's arm with a sweet smile on her lips.

Mom and Dad love you, too.

Aunt Yi finished her work and walked back with a slight ache on her waist. Although Wei Mingyan gave her 3,000 yuan; in her eyes, it was her niece's money and she couldn't use it!

Therefore, her work is still the same as before.

Walking on the road, she suddenly saw the village's famous rumor-monger spouting nonsense to other people again, “She hasn't been home since she got married for a month. Maybe something fishy is going on? Didn't people say they got three gold items on the wedding day? I haven't seen her wear it out. Maybe, Old Three has been lying and Hun Zi is really a ‘Hun Zi'. How could he become a big boss? ”

 (Hun Zi = b.a.s.t.a.r.d/ sc.u.m/ degenerate etc. etc.)

Aunt Yi's face sank as soon as she heard it. She had not been able to deal with this woman; Da Sangmen, very well. To be exact, she was unilaterally looked down upon by her.

(大嗓门 [da sǎnɡ mén] = Loud voice. Yes, the name literally means loudmouth/gossiper.)

The two are of the same age. Both had a daughter that was born in the same month. In this village where ‘men are more important than women', they were definitely gossiped about.

As a result, Da Sangmen's husband gave their daughter the cold shoulder every day. He even disliked her. Her first month of confinement after giving birth was not done properly. On the contrary, Uncle Yi did not abandon his wife. Instead, he did his best to carry out the wishes of his wife while in confinement. He did not let her touch any cold water.

(月子 [yue zi] = month of confinement; this is the first month after a woman gives birth. It is said that the woman should not touch anything cold, because it might harm the body, and at worst; she wouldn't be able to give birth anymore.)

Da Sangmen didn't dare to hate her husband. So, after such a comparison, she hated Aunt Yi. Usually, she didn't talk much about her. Last month, her daughter married in the city, so she stayed there for a week. But when she came back, the whole village was talking about how amazing Hun Zi was, how much money he had given the Yi family, and how he had married Yi Zhilan.

Now she's got something on her hands. She began to wander around the village and gossip. She stated categorically that the whole village was fooled by Hun Zi, and the Yi family was cheated out of a daughter.

Just then, someone saw Aunt Yi coming with a hoe and hit the door so that she would stop talking.

With a calm face Aunt Yi, walked to the front of Da Sangmen, “The three-wedding-gold isn't convenient to bring to work, if you really want to see them, go back with me now to take a look!”

(Three-wedding-gold = Gold accessories given to the bride or bride family by the groom. It's a tradition that differs in each region, not to be confused with a bride price or dowry.)

Seeing her boastful appearance, Da Sangmen felt a little guilty but soon straightened up. “Who are you lying to? I heard people say that Hun Zi gave 3000 yuan that day. If you are really rich, why do you have to get up early and work at dawn?”

“They haven't come back after a month, not even for Guining. I think you're deceived by Hun Zi. Even if he's really successful now, who doesn't know how Hun Zi is in the village? Maybe, he's just like the big bosses, they have women on the side, and you expect him to be filial? That's hilarious…"

(回门 [Hui Men] returning home/ tradition name: Guining = A tradition where the newlyweds return to the bride's home after the third day of their marriage.)

“You!”

Aunt Yi was just about to get angry when, from a distance, the sound of a car engine could be heard. Da Sangmen was startled and she hurriedly turned to look. However, she only saw a beautiful car driving in front of them along an uneasy road.

When the door opened, Wei_Mingyan got out of the car first. Then, he went to the other side to open the door, carefully holding Yi Zhilan; who was wearing a beautiful skirt, to get off.

“Lan Lan?” Aunt Yi hurried up to meet her. “Why did you come back?”

Before Yi Zhilan answered, Wei Mingyan laughed. “We bought some things in the city this month, and we wanted to put it together and send it back. Isn't that enough of a reason? Auntie, where were you coming back from?”

“I just came back from the field, err…  ah, you also didn't tell us in advance. How could you come home like this? We have no preparation ah… I'll hurry back and tell your Uncle to butcher some chickens to cook.”

Aunt Yi still remembers her unhappiness a moment ago. But now, she was extremely happy to see her niece, who she had not seen her in a month. Now, her niece is dressed like a city dweller.

“Aunt, you don't have to go to the field in the future. Lan Lan and I will provide for you in retirement. You and Uncle can enjoy it. ”

Listening to her lover's words, Yi Zhilan also nodded frequently. “Yes, Aunt. You don't know it yet, but Mingyan is very successful. He started a company in City A. He has many customers and he makes a profit every day.”

“Making a profit is good… very good.” Aunt Yi looked at them lovingly, her eyes are full of joy for her niece's life.

“Come on, let's go home. Mingyan bought a lot of things this time to make sure you're happy. ”

“Yes, I also bought wine. I'll have a good drink with uncle tonight. ”

The young couple said so as they smiled and helped Aunt Yi to get into the car. It can be seen that they had sincere respect for her.

Wei_Mingyan was about to get on the car with the hoe in his hand when he remembered someone else. Turning his head to look at the silent people in front of him. “Madams, I'll take my aunt home first. You all, please take care on your way home.”

Da Sangmen didn't have the haughty air she had just now. She nodded her head in a guilty way and stood there, watching the car slowly move towards the direction of the Yi's house.

Aunt Yi was sitting in the car. She couldn't help but look back and smiled when she saw those people still standing there.

Who said that her family's Lan Lan wasn't filial? Looking at the whole village, who's elder has ever ridden in a car?

A month later, Lan Lan; who went to school in the city, returned to her maternal home with Wei Mingyan.

And brought back a bunch of things!

The whole poor mountain village had been stirred up. It was like New Year's Day when people crowded around to watch the excitement.

The people inside were moving things. Uncle Yi smiled with wrinkles on his face. His face; which was sun-blown all the year-round, seemed several years younger.

“I said not to, but Mingyan insisted on buying it. He said that Aunt Yi is old, it's better if she didn't touch cold water. So, he bought a was.h.i.+ng machine especially for her. I heard there are none in town. This child is sincere.”

“Yes, Lan Lan went to the hospital for a check-up. She was pregnant. Mingyan was happy and brought her back to tell us the good news. ”

Compared with Uncle Yi's implicit boast, Aunt Yi is simpler. She stood by the door and straightened her back in a group of old female friends. Her eyes fell on Da Sangmen: “Mingyan bought a mobile phone for me and his uncle, which is much more convenient than a phone. ”

“Mingyan said that after buying a mobile phone, we can make phone calls anytime. Just like chatting in person. See, isn't it nice?”

Several old friends surrounded her and exclaimed from time to time.

“Sister Yi, how much does it cost?”

Aunt Yi chokes. She really doesn't know how much it costs.

Wei Mingyan happened to be directing a man to carry the TV, and at the moment he smiled and answered, “Fifteen thousand, with the phone card."

Everyone took a sharp breath. Fifteen thousand!

Even if they don't eat or drink, and work hard for three years… they still wouldn't have fifteen thousand!

Wei Mingyan; who is only related to their niece by marriage, is willing to give up so much money to buy mobile phones for the old couple of the Yi family!

Aunt Yi was also a little confused. 15,000 yuan for this little thing in her hand?!

She wouldn't even spend that much money on building a house.

With the compliment of the crowd, Aunt Yi tried to maintain her calm look, so as not to expose her shock.

Her family's Lan Lan is a college student. She can't show people that she has never seen the world.

While continuing to boast about Wei Mingyan; she saw that in the crowd, Da Sangmen slipped away in disgrace.

Wei Mingyan swayed to Yi Zhilan. She was sitting curiously on the bed and looking out of the window. When she saw her lover come over, she looked at him and asked, “What did you just say to Aunt? I saw her face change."

“It's all right. Just let Aunt show off and be happy. ”

The handsome man smiled and approached the girl gently. “Give me a reward.”

Yi Zhilan pushed him with a red face. It was embarra.s.sing to kiss the man on the cheek.
