Chapter 9: Losing Weight

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lan Dazhuang heard his sister mention him, he immediately patted his chest and promised, “That’s right. I’ve already promised Sis that I’ll find a better man for her!”

Looking at his daughter’s obstruction and his son’s guarantee, Lan Shengli hesitated for a while before putting down the farming tools in his hand.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Who was Xu Yunjie? He was not worthy of his pure, kind, and adorable daughter!

That kind of ungrateful person dared to treat his daughter badly now. If they stayed together and he was no longer around in the future, his daughter’s life would only be worse!

Hence, it was the right choice for Shu Shu to get a divorce.

As a father, he would definitely find a good match for his daughter next time!

In Tianshui Village, although the Lan family was not large, their houses were not small. In other families, three generations lived in the same courtyard, and each family of more than ten only had seven to eight houses in one courtyard.

As for the six members of the Lan family, each of them had a house, and there were still extra houses. Moreover, they all lived in green brick houses!

Although this was not unique in Tianshui Village, their family was definitely ranked among the top.

In the past few days, the news of the Lan family’s youngest daughter and the Xu family’s university graduate getting a divorce spread throughout the entire village.

There were too few people getting divorced these days, so this matter could be said to be a sensation in Tianshui Village!

While many villagers were discussing this topic behind their backs and watching the joke, the Lan family released news that they wanted to find a son-in-law for their daughter.

There were only two requirements.

Firstly, he had to be good-looking!

Secondly, he had to be good to their daughter!

When the villagers heard this, good lord! If the Lan family was trying to marry off their sons instead, it would be a beauty pageant!

Speaking of which, they did not know what the Lan family was thinking. The eldest of the three sons was already 27 years old, and the youngest was 21 years old. All of them didn’t even have a wife until now. On the other hand, the youngest daughter was married and divorced.

For other people, their sons were their lifeblood. For the Lan family, however, they seemed to prioritize their daughter.

While the villagers gossiped about the Lan family’s actions behind their backs, Lan Shu was sweating profusely in her house.

Lan Shu’s house was in the west. The morning sun shone there first, and it was not too hot in the afternoon.

Ever since she returned home, she had not left the courtyard. After her period ended, she immediately began to do a lot of aerobic exercises and yoga.

While she was losing weight, she had to ensure that her skin would not become loose and ugly due to weight loss. Only then would her weight loss be considered a real success!

The Lan family, who didn’t know anything about her weight loss, had been sighing every day for the past few days.

No matter how many dishes Chang Chunfang made for her daughter, Lan Shu would only eat a small bowl of rice and a few mouthfuls of side dishes every meal.

Seeing their daughter’s small appetite, the Lan couple’s hearts ached.

Moreover, Lan Shu would lock herself in her house for no reason. Even Lan Dazhuang, who had always been careless, thought that his sister was too sad and that was why she didn’t want to go out.

Little did he know that Lan Shu was following the plan she had customized for herself and losing weight in an orderly manner…

Obese people lost weight the fastest in the beginning. Although there was no scale at home, according to Lan Shu’s own estimation, it was not a problem for her to lose more than a pound and a half a day.

In just a week’s time, Lan Shu had ‘shrunk’ a little from her original fatty state.

After losing more than ten catties of weight, Lan Shu felt a little more relaxed when she moved her limbs. Her breathing was not as heavy and short as before when her chest was wrapped in fat.

It was a good thing for her to lose weight, but it was heartbreaking for the other three members of the Lan family!

Especially Lan Shengli.

Previously, when his daughter had just returned, he already thought that she had lost weight. Now, his daughter had no appetite every day and was visibly losing weight. How could he watch helplessly?

Lan Dazhuang also felt that his sister’s current state was all because of the Xu family!

He even carried a shoulder pole and was about to go out to settle the score with the Xu family!

However, he was stopped by Lan Shu at a critical moment.

“Big Brother, I want to lose weight and become beautiful. That way, it’ll be easier to find a good-looking man,” Lan Shu stopped Lan Dazhuang and said.

“My little sister is fair and chubby. Which man wouldn’t like her?!”

Lan Shu: “…”

This blind confidence…

She had forgotten that in her brother’s eyes, no matter what she looked like, she was the best!

However, this did not stop Lan Shu’s determination to lose weight.

“Brother, I want to lose weight. I want to become beautiful! I want Xu Yunjie to regret it!”

At this critical moment, she could only use Xu Yunjie as an excuse to lose weight again.

Upon hearing his sister’s words, Lan Dazhuang cursed Xu Yunjie in his heart again.

Indeed! Xu Yunjie was the reason why his sister was torturing herself and working so hard to lose weight!

At this moment, Lan Dazhuang really hated Xu Yunjie to the core!

If he saw Xu Yunjie again, he would definitely give him a good punch!

The Lan family couple soon found out why their daughter was losing weight.

As they were worried about their daughter’s health, Chang Chunfang immediately wrote a letter to her second son, who worked at the city hospital, asking him to come back and persuade his sister.

As for her third son, because he was in the capital and too far away, she did not tell him.

A few days later, the second son of the Lan family, Lan Xiuming, returned.

There was another person whom Lan Dazhuang had picked up by accident…

A day ago, Lan Xiuming received a letter from home.

The letter said that his little sister was divorced!

This made Lan Xiuming unable to sit still any longer. He applied for leave from the hospital overnight and sat in the car for the entire night before returning to the village the next morning.

He walked to the courtyard door. Before he entered, Lan Xiuming heard his eldest brother’s cheerful shout in the courtyard.

“Sis, come out and take a look! I’ve picked up a boy who’s even better-looking than Xu Yunjie!

“If you like him, we’ll keep him and make him our live-in son-in-law!”

Lan Xiuming: “…”

Although his heart ached for his sister’s divorce and he hoped that she would be happy, his family could not force anyone! That was against the law!

After walking quickly into the courtyard, Lan Xiuming realized that there was a drenched and unconscious young man lying in the courtyard.

The young man was wearing black pants, and his white shirt was covered in brown mud.

His eyes were tightly shut, but his slightly heaving chest showed that he was still alive.

Seeing this person who had obviously nearly drowned, Lan Xiuming’s first reaction as a professional was to go forward and save him!

After his inspection, he found that the other party’s breathing was smooth and his pulse was stable. It seemed that his big brother had already givin the young man CPR and he spat out the water.

Lan Xiuming heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that the youth in front of him was fine.

Then, he noticed the young man’s appearance.

The other party’s skin was cold and fair, and his nose bridge was high. Although his lips were a little pale, the shape of his lips was very beautiful.

He was indeed much better-looking than Xu Yunjie.

At this moment, Lan Xiuming was even a little worried. If his sister really liked this kid but he was unwilling, what should he do?

Lan Xiuming doted on his sister, but he definitely wouldn’t dote on her brainlessly. He had basic values.

At this moment, Lan Shu heard Lan Dazhuang’s voice and slowly walked out of her house.

She immediately saw the young man that Lan Dazhuang mentioned.
