Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Dashan’s Husband (Plus the He’s Jade Disc)_1

The relentless rain had poured for two days and two nights, and to prevent the rich water of Pine Pool from flowing into the fields of “strangers,” Qian Yixiu had Huang Tie and Qian Hua don raincoats to dig a small channel beside Pine Pool, directing its spring water into their own fields. This way, irrigating slowly, the land might become more fertile.

Having servants is wonderful, and having robust labor is even better. While they could sleep peacefully, Grandmother and Little Aunt didn’t have to venture out into the fields in the rain to drain water, and with plenty of dry firewood prepared at home, there was no worry about running out of fuel to cook.

Moreover, the path from home to the village was muddy and treacherous, some spots so deep one could sink an entire foot in. Qian Yijin was carried to his private tutor by Huang Tie, who would pick him up after school as well. Lady Wu, whose back had already been bent by life’s burdens, no longer needed to pick up and drop off her grandson.

Everything was fine, except for the worry about Monkey Brother and Dashan, who had not yet returned home.

On the twentieth day, as the rain continued to fall, Qian Yixiu, dressed in a peach-red dress, sat on a little stool under the eaves, fretting over the torrential downpour. Benben and Tiaotiao, worried about their mistress and Monkey Brother, stood side by side between their young owner’s feet, looking anxiously into the rain.

Six round, black eyes stared intently forward.

Qian Yijin, clad in a raincoat and wearing a bamboo hat, entered the courtyard and caught sight of this scene.

The day before, Huang Tie had found a fat rabbit taking shelter from the rain in a den at the base of a slope behind the large courtyard and had caught it. Today, it was cooked with potatoes in a large pot, and Qian Sangui, thinking about the continuous two-day rain and how the main and secondary houses surely wouldn’t have fine food, had Huang Tie carry a large bowl of it to the main house and a small bowl to the secondary house, while Qian Yijin was on his back.

Qian Yijin walked to the eaves, removed his bamboo hat and raincoat, and comforted his sister, “Dashan is strong, and Monkey Brother is clever; they never venture deep into the mountains, so they should be alright. They’re probably waiting out the rain somewhere, and they’ll come back once it stops.”

Little did the brother know, his financially-minded brother had led Monkey Brother and Dashan into the mountains. Though there were few fierce beasts there, the terrain was extremely dangerous. Dashan was not adept at climbing, and Monkey Brother was still too young. If nothing happened, that was fine, but if something did, he would feel guilty for a lifetime.

Qian Yixiu glanced at her brother, sighed deeply, and looked forward again. Benben and Tiaotiao gave their young master a look and barked twice, continuing to gaze morosely ahead.

Even though there was rabbit meat for lunch, it couldn’t make Qian Yixiu smile. She didn’t rest after the meal, either, and continued to sit idly under the eaves with the two puppies, staring at the sky. Gradually, the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, and then it cleared up altogether. The sky transformed from deep grey to light grey, and then to a stretch of clear azure blue.

Suddenly, a rainbow emerged out of nowhere and drew a multicolored arc across the sky, like a colorful bridge erected in the blue heavens.

“It’s cleared up, it’s cleared up,” Qian Yixiu exclaimed gleefully as she jumped up. Benben and Tiaotiao, catching their young owner’s excitement, barked happily too, hoping for their mistress and Monkey Brother to return soon.

Qian Yijin and Qian Xiaolei ran into the yard to collect the jujubes knocked down by the rain. The rain had been fierce and heavy, shaking loose quite a few jujubes, and they managed to pick at least five or six jin.

Lady Wu, distressed, took one jin for the servants to eat. She packed another two jin, instructing Qian Yijin to take them to Old woman Qian when he passed the main house on his way to school the next day. She herself, along with Qian Hua and Lady Wei, went to take care of the crops in the fields.

By the evening, perhaps even the stars had grown weary of being cooped up indoors, and that night they all seemed to come out at once. Countless stars filled the entire sky, shining brilliantly.

So much time had passed since the rain stopped, and neither Monkey Brother nor Dashan had returned, causing not just Qian Yijin but everyone else to become anxious. Cheng Yue also asked, “Where’s Monkey Brother? Where’s Dashan? The rain has stopped; they should be on their way home.”

The family, with doors closed, sat chatting in the courtyard, waiting for the return of the dog and monkey. Suddenly, Benben and Tiaotiao perked up their ears and wagged their tails. Huang Tie also, armed with an axe, rushed through the side door to announce, “Master Qian, there seems to be the sound of wolves howling in the distance.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Wu and the other women and children in Qian Yixiu’s group tensed up.

Qian Sangui also listened intently and confirmed, “Yes, it does sound like the howling of wolves.”

The Qian Hua family also ran over in a panicked frenzy.

Qian Sangui comforted them, “Don’t be afraid, the wolves are still far from here. Besides, the walls of our courtyard are high, wolves can’t climb over.”

Gradually, even Qian Yixiu and the others began to faintly hear the howling of the wolves.

Suddenly, an unbelievable thing happened. They saw Benben jump onto the stone table in the courtyard, strike a pose, lift its head at a forty-five-degree angle, and with puffed cheeks, it began to howl, “Woo… Woo… Woo…”

When Tiaotiao saw this, it also jumped onto the stone table, squatted next to Benben, and howled in the same pose.

The two little guys were unbearably cute, their white fur shimmering with silver light under the starry sky. Although their noses and mouths protruded sharply, their faces were chubby and round, giving them a baby-fat appearance. They also puffed their cheeks vigorously, making their faces even fuller and more adorable.

They did inherit one trait from Dashan—their roundness—round chubby faces and round plump bodies.

Cute as they looked, their howling was terrifying.

Qian Yixiu finally realized what their father was, and so did everyone else.

Qian Yeejin quickly intervened, “Stop howling, do you want to call your father over?”

“We don’t welcome your father. Keep howling, and we’ll tie up your mouths,” Qian Yixiu also said sternly to them.

Upon hearing this, Benben and Tiaotiao stopped howling and started to whimper softly on the table, looking aggrieved.

Qian Sangui then instructed Huang Tie to check if the back door was properly closed and had the Qian Hua Family stay on this side, gathering everyone together just in case.

Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, putting everyone on alert. Following that, a series of banging noises came from the door, along with the cries of Dashan and Monkey Brother.

Qian Yixiu was overjoyed but dared not open the door immediately. She asked through the courtyard door, “Is it just the two of you, or is there a third one? If Dashan’s mate has also come, please ask it to go back; we’re scared.”

More banging and Monkey Brother’s frantic cries could be heard. It was almost in tears. Benben and Tiaotiao also ran to the door, frantically scratching at it. Hearing the cries of their youngsters, Dashan began to ram the door again, agitated.

Thinking that Dashan and Monkey Brother wouldn’t harm their own family, Qian Yixiu decided to open the door, but Qian Yeejin pulled her away, saying, “Sister, step back. Let your brother open the door.”

Qian Hua hurried over and said, “Brother Jin, step back. I’ll open the door. Huang Tie, stand by the door. If there’s a wolf, chop it immediately. Xiao Feng and Xiao Lei, grab your sticks and watch over the masters.”

As soon as the door opened, Dashan and Monkey Brother sprang in. Fortunately, there was no third party, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Monkey Brother, upon entering, climbed into Qian Yixiu’s arms using all fours. Qian Yixiu, not minding the dirt, grabbed its ears and spun it around a few times, scolding, “You haven’t come home for so many days; do you know how worried we’ve been?”

Suddenly Qian Yeejin exclaimed in amazement, “Quick, look, what’s that?”
