Chapter 1608: Chapter 1430: Epilogue

But Long Aixi couldn’t let go of Xia Dabao.

Two years had passed, and he still maintained the habit of writing letters.

He was also accustomed to embracing hope time and again, only to be disappointed time and again.

Dabao, where in the world are you?

Once the carrier pigeon returned, he would lock the pigeon in its cage, pour some wheat grains and water for it, then glance at the string that carried the letters, still the same one as before, and he simply didn’t bother to untie it.

He’d just replace it the next time he wrote a letter.

In the yard.

The boy who had grown taller started practicing with his sword, while the snow-white carrier pigeon was eating rice grains intently.

...

"Hey, isn’t that Datu? Brother Datu has a new bride?" Axian pointed at Zhao Datu while asking from the edge of the field.

Not far away, Zhao Datu was coming over, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, followed by a woman in her twenties, who was busily gnawing on a potato. Judging by her appearance, she looked quite fierce.

Zhao Datu quite obviously saw Xia Dabao as well; a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, but that surprise quickly faded.

Xia Dabao had once tarnished his reputation because of the affair with Axiang, and he no longer had any feelings for Xia Dabao. The excitement at seeing her again was simply because he hadn’t seen her for a long time, and she had become a bit more attractive.

Zhao Datu’s field was separated by a few plots from Xia Dabao’s, but she could still see everything they did.

It seemed that Datu had started working the field late, and the woman immediately began scolding him, "What are you dawdling for? If you don’t hurry up with the digging, do you plan on waiting until next spring?"

With so many people around, Zhao Datu naturally felt humiliated being scolded by his wife, so he retorted, "How am I dawdling? I’m just late because I was rolling up my trousers, what business is it of yours?"

"Don’t need me to nag? If I hadn’t pushed you, you still wouldn’t want to come by now, always lazing around at home like some Young Master, thinking you’re some nobleman from the city, hurry up and get to work," she grumbled while pushing Zhao Datu.

"Why are you pushing me?" Zhao Datu obviously didn’t take it lying down.

"Push you so what? If you don’t go now, I’ll beat you!" The woman said as she moved to push Zhao Datu again.

Zhao Datu cursed in a hurry, "Enough, enough, don’t make a scene here, I’ll work the field, what are you shrieking about?"

Finally, the woman finished eating her potato, tossed the peel aside, and followed behind Zhao Datu into the field.

Xia Dabao and Axian watched, shocked and amazed.

When had Datu fallen to such a state that he was tightly controlled by a young wife?

That night, just as Zhao Datu’s aunt came over to chat with Nan Feng, Xia Dabao found out that due to the situation with Axiang, Zhao Datu had been unable to find a wife. Auntie Zhao had a notorious reputation, and Zhao Datu himself wasn’t one to pamper a wife, hence girls from near and far were afraid to marry him.

The young wife he now had wasn’t even given a formal name, just called Daniu, and was a butcher’s daughter from the neighboring village. She had learned how to slaughter pigs since childhood, and she dared to kill pigs weighing over two hundred taels, hence over time she developed such a fierce temperament.

Because of her daunting personality, nobody wanted Daniu, and later on, the matchmaker suggested her to Datu, thinking that with her tough demeanor, no one would dare to bully her once she was married—that she would be the one to bully others, so he agreed.

And Auntie Zhao reckoned that although Daniu could slaughter pigs, she wouldn’t kill a person, right? Besides, she wasn’t bad-looking, and on the day they met, Daniu had acted as calm as water, which really won Auntie Zhao’s heart, so she agreed as well.

Zhao Datu didn’t particularly care either, after all, Axiang’s affair with the simpleton had already been set in stone, so marrying anyone was just as well.

As soon as Daniu married into the family, she immediately reverted to her true self, louder than Auntie Zhao, and she wasn’t scared of anyone—not just Auntie Zhao, but even Zhao Datu himself.
