Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 70, Newly Married

The banquet ended with laughter and joy. Wang Li's family members saw the guests off and after closing the door, Wang Li's parents and the three Lai siblings went back to their room to rest.

After seeing them leave, Wang Li excitedly picked up Zheng Lan and rushed to the third courtyard. Zheng Lan said to Wang Li shyly and helplessly: Run slower, don't fall. It's so dark now, don't fall.

Wang Li had no time to care about all these. He used his strengthened body and eyes that could see at night to quickly carry Zheng Lan into his main house and went to the bedroom.

The two of them had completely given themselves to each other and loved each other sincerely. There was no embarrassment or regret, and the happy night passed quickly.

The next morning, Wang Li opened his eyes with satisfaction and looked at his beautiful wife in his arms, his face full of happiness.

He thought to himself: It's only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. I really got a bargain, my wife's nickname in the Gray Society was not in vain, it was actually true, hehehe! He felt and reacted normally again.

His action woke up Zheng Lan who was sleeping soundly. After feeling his reaction, her face flushed at first, then she rolled her eyes charmingly, hit him and said: Are you a beast? I'm too tired, I need to sleep for a while. I have to pay my respects to my parents-in-law later! You better behave yourself.

After Wang Li heard this, he muttered to himself: If your heart is as clear as ice, you won’t be startled even if the sky falls. If your heart is as clear as ice, you won’t be startled even if the sky falls.

I dare not take the next step.

Soon after, the two got up and washed. With the help of Wang Li, Zheng Lan came to her parents' yard with a blushing face and paid her respects to the two elders.

After seeing her performance, the two smiled knowingly, while Lai Xiaomei showed a puzzled expression, after all, she was still too young and didn't know some things yet.

The mother complained: "Child, you don't know how to feel sorry for your wife. What are you doing getting up so early?"
Wang Li smiled shyly, which was rare, but didn't say anything. Because Zheng Lan was physically disabled, her mother didn't let her enter the kitchen, but made her sit on a chair in the dining room.

Soon the warm breakfast was over, and at the repeated urging of Wang Li's mother, he took Zheng Lan back to the bedroom in the courtyard.

Wang Li followed his mother's request and forcibly carried Zheng Lan to the second-floor bedroom and put her on the bed. He gently took off her clothes and covered her with a quilt. He said to Zheng Lan: "Rest for a while. I'm going to work in the garden."

After saying that, he went out. After seeing Wang Li leave, Zheng Lan felt so sleepy that she fell into a sweet dream again after a while.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. She hurriedly got up, put on her clothes, and walked towards the second courtyard where Wang Li's parents lived.

Since some time has passed, her body has basically recovered.

When she passed by the corridor, she saw Wang Li and complained: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's already afternoon, how embarrassing! Will my mother-in-law think I'm a lazy daughter-in-law?"

Wang Li smiled and comforted her: "I have already explained it to my mother. I have also left lunch for you. I will go get it for you and you can eat in our own room."

After saying that, he asked Zheng Lan to go back to the house first.

Wang Li walked into the kitchen of the second courtyard, heated up the food, and returned to his room with the food box. Looking at his beautiful wife eating, Zheng Lan asked shyly under his eager gaze: Why are you looking at me like that?
Wang Li replied: Look at my wife! You are so beautiful, I can't see enough of you.

Zheng Lan said: You are just talking nonsense. Don’t look at me like that. I am embarrassed to eat.

Wang Lidao: Okay, then you eat by yourself first. After dinner you can go to talk to your mother for a while. I’ll go to work first.

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the house, while Zheng Lan showed a happy smile. After finishing the meal, he washed the dishes and took them to the kitchen in his mother's yard, and then went to chat with his mother and Lai Xiaomei.

The conversation between the three women was very harmonious. Although they were not very familiar with each other, after a short chat, Zheng Lan's deliberate approach quickly shortened the relationship between the three of them. Soon, they seemed to have known each other for many years, and there was no sense of distance or strangeness.

In the middle of the work, Lai Xiaomei got up and went out to work.

Wang Li's mother took Zheng Lan's hand and said: You are really wronged. I heard from Wang Li that due to some special reasons, you can't have a big wedding and it has to be kept secret. You are such a good girl, our family should carry you into the family in a sedan chair!
Zheng Lan said seriously: Mother, I don’t care about these, as long as I can be with Wang Li.

Wang Li’s mother assured: What a good boy. If he bullies you in the future, just tell me and I will punish him.

Zheng Lan said: Thank you, mother, but I believe he will not bully me. Wang Li is very good to me.

Wang Li's mother was even happier after hearing this. She said softly: "I heard that you lost your parents when you were young. Don't think of yourself as a daughter-in-law in the future. Just think of me as your real mother and Wang Li's father as your father. We will treat you as our own daughter."

Zheng Lan was very moved after hearing this and replied: I understand, mother, this will be my home from now on.

Wang Li’s mother confirmed again: Yes, this is your home.

After saying this, Wang Li's mother took off a pendant from her neck.

He took it in his hand and rubbed it, saying: Our family is a commoner family, and we don't have any heirlooms at home. The Wang family passed down the martial arts tradition.

I have a wooden Buddha that my father carved for my mother using a piece of wood he found by accident. After my mother passed away, she passed it on to me.

Although he didn't know what kind of wood this was, my father said that this piece of wood must be extraordinary, as it had a very high density and a very hard texture.

When carving, several chisels were broken before this wooden Buddha pendant was carved.

Now that you've married into our Wang family, I'll give you this Buddha pendant as a family heirloom.

Zheng Lan hurriedly said: Mother, this is grandma's relic, you should keep it as a souvenir.

Wang Li's mother forcefully hung the pendant around Zheng Lan's neck and said: "No need, I still have some souvenirs. Consider this as my wedding gift to you and Wang Li. Although it may not be worth much, it is very commemorative."

Zheng Lan did not refuse and gently played with the wooden pendant on her neck. She found that it was just as Wang Li's mother said, the wooden Buddha statue had turned into jade after years of playing with it.

The Buddha statue is very heavy in the hand, and its surface is as smooth and delicate as jade. The workmanship of the Buddha statue is also very exquisite, and it can be seen that it was made with great care.

Zheng Lan liked this gift very much and said to Wang Li’s mother very formally: Mother, I will cherish this pendant, thank you.

After saying that, he put the pendant into his collar.
