TAB Chapter 079.2

Too Little

It’s hard to see the depth of some people, and it’s hard for Shen Yuhan to comment, the relationship between Shan Qiyuan and Gu Biqing is obviously closer than that of other siblings, Gu Biqing also seemed to trust her eldest son, and this trust should be accumulated over time, not achieved overnight.

On the contrary, this makes Shen Yuhan have a sense of substitution because in the Qi Kingdom, many mothers trust their eldest sons very much.

After thinking about it, he understands that Gu Biqing is still different from modern parents, on the contrary, she is more like a native of the Qi Kingdom.

“It might be me overthinking, don’t take it to heart.” Shen Yuhan comforted him again, he didn’t want to instigate other people’s brotherly feelings, “On the contrary, I want to congratulate you for finally meeting your mother.”

“Don’t congratulate me, I don’t want this terrible maternal love now.” Shan Qixin rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

Shen Yuhan still wanted to laugh, he didn’t expect that the Shan family he married into could still meet this kind of mother-in-law, he remembered a chicken soup saying on the Internet, life always brings surprises to people inadvertently.

In order to make up for the damage to his soul last night, Shan Qixin insisted that Shen Yuhan also make Lei cha for him, because his third brother posted on WeChat Moments last night, at that time, his body and mind were being tortured by his biological mother’s words, he couldn’t stand it!

Shen Yuhan was not too busy today, so he granted whatever was requested.

After Shan Qixin finished eating, he also posted it on his WeChat Moments, his WeChat Moments were much more complicated than Shan Qihuan’s, and as soon as he posted it, a lot of people asked him how he made it.

Shan Qixin proudly replied: My sister-in-law has an exclusive secret recipe, which is especially delicious!

A friend asked: Your eldest sister-in-law?

Shan Qixin replied instantly: No, it’s my third sister-in-law!

His friend put a big question mark: Your third sister-in-law Shen Yuhan?

Shan Qixin was busy having tea and had no time to reply, it was so comfortable to be at the third brother’s house, and he regarded this place as his home, after eating and drinking enough, he went to his own room to rest, sleeping on the pillow, his sleep quality is quite high.

After dealing with Shan Qixin, Shen Yuhan sent a message to his husband, he still cares about Shan Qixin, after all, he is a person with good conduct, and is now considered one of his relatives.

The reply from Shan Qihuan is that he understands, and they’ll talk about it when he gets home tonight, he has received more than one message today.

The third house is now sending out wedding invitations one by one, in less than three months after the engagement, Shan Qiyun is going to marry the Qi family’s Young Miss.

It’s really a rush, everything has come together.

Shan Qiyun is so anxious to marry Miss Qi, is it because the news that Shan Tianfeng was going to undergo a second surgery has been leaked?

But he only asked the doctor not to tell the fourth person about this matter, he can trust the doctor’s professional ethics, and only his eldest brother and Shen Yuhan about this matter.

Thinking about it carefully, not long after Shan Tianfeng learned that he was going to undergo a second surgery, Gu Biqing came back, and then the third house also started to organize the wedding.

This is interesting.

Shan Qihuan knew that Shen Yuhan would not be able to get involved, so his eldest brother was the only one left, Gu Biqing had only been back for two days, and her series of actions can be described as so straightforward that it made people feel frightened, she really thought it was a feudal society now, and still wanted to control Shan Qixin’s marriage, he married Shen Yuhan out of his own free will, if he didn’t want to get married, there was nothing Shan Tianfeng could do to him, but Shan Qixin was different, he was the child he watched grow up, almost like a son, Gu Biqing seemed to be taking things for granted.

Seeing the worried message from Shen Yuhan, Shan Qihuan smiled, and directly returned a voice message: “Don’t worry about Shan Qixin, I have my own solution.”

After receiving his affirmative answer, Shen Yuhan wasn’t so worried anymore, Shan Qixin, apart from being a bit silly, was also considered a fool with blessings1傻人有傻福 (shǎ rén yǒu shǎ fú): fortune favors fools (idiom); fool’s luck; there is fortune for a simple person; God sends fortune to fools., it was good to have his brother to protect him.

“In the few days after Gu Biqing returned, she made quite a stir, she doesn’t shy away from anyone when doing things, she stayed at Shan Qiyuan’s house for two days and then moved back to her own house, however, she did not meet Shan Tianfeng, instead, many friends came to visit, and each one brought their young and beautiful daughter, because she spread out the news, she was checking out potential matches for her son, and would not allow them to marry someone with an unknown origin.

These words are straightforward and arrogant, people outside are saying that the wind direction of the Shan family may be changing, after Shan Tianfeng got cancer, the main house didn’t even leave home, she came back this time to get back the property that belongs to her, she didn’t want the other three houses to take advantage of it.

Sure enough, after twenty years of dormancy, she still came back, the Internet even described the return of Gu Biqing as a legend, the woman who disappeared in front of everyone suddenly returns, her purpose is abundantly clear2昭然若揭 (zhāo rán ruò jiē): to be extremely obvious; abundantly clear; all too clear., the Shan family’s drama is coming again, even TV drama can’t shot this kind of thing!

The wedding of Shan Qiyun of the third house was also being prepared, but before his wedding came, Gu Biqing decided to hold a banquet, she invited a lot of people to this banquet, and it really didn’t look like the behavior of a person who had just returned from being a nun.

According to Shen Yuhan, this is being blinded by greed3利慾薰心 (lì yù xūn xīn): blinded by greed (idiom); be obsessed with the desire for gain; be overcome by covetousness; be possessed by a lust for gain; greed for fame and fortune has blinded the mind..

Shen Yuhan gets the latest news from Shan Qixin every day, and he is quite happy to see it.

If he were in Qi Kingdom, he would probably have to pay his respects to his mother-in-law every day at the moment, and he might even be blocked from the door and bullied for various reasons.

Fortunately, in modern times, there is no need to live with the mother-in-law, or serve her, without all the trivial and overelaborate formalities4繁文縟節 (fán wén rù jié): trivial and overelaborate formalities; red tape; convoluted and overelaborate (document); unnecessarily elaborate writing; mumbo-jumbo; petty restrictive rules; excessively complicated rituals or etiquette, also a metaphor for other tedious and redundant matters., it’s quite relaxing.

But he couldn’t relax, after all, Gu Biqing could interfere in the marriage of his son, whom she had barely met, as soon as she came back, she might also interfere in the affairs between him and Shan Qihuan.

Shen Yuhan hadn’t appeared for many days, today, he made an appointment with his old friends to listen to listen to music at the theater, he had just changed his clothes, and the weather was getting warmer, so he didn’t have to wear such a bulky clothes anymore.

But before he could leave the house, someone came to the door.

There is no one else at home, auntie went out to buy groceries, Shan Qihuan went to work, and Shan Qixin had an important event today, and has not been in Jiang City since two days ago.

Who would come to his house at this time? They didn’t even make an appointment with him, he’s a very busy man now, and his time needs to be reserved.

He saw a face with a tight mouth through the video, it was Aunt Cheng next to Gu Biqing, they must have come to the door knowing that he was at home.

Shen Yuhan still opened the door for them.

He also said bluntly: “What do you want?” Although she has never said anything, it is definitely not a good thing to come to the door suddenly.

Aunt Cheng stood at the door and didn’t go in, she said to Shen Yuhan, who came out to open the door: “Madam has something to tell you, come with me.”

Shen Yuhan is not a submissive little wife, he has long been raised by Shan Qihuan to be bold, and he has always disdained this kind of bossy servant.

But he couldn’t lose his temper in front of others, so he smiled slightly and said: “How about I invite the First Madam5大夫人 (dà fū ren): T/N: This can also be translated as ‘Eldest Madam’ or ‘Big Madam’, but since there’s already Second, Third, and Fourth Madam, I decided to stick with First Madam. to the theater to listen to the play.”

He called First Madam, not Mom, Aunt Cheng noticed it but didn’t say anything either.

Aunt Cheng walked to the car window and asked Gu Biqing what she meant, Gu Biqing said yes, she also loves to listen to opera, she didn’t expect that Shen Yuhan, at such a young age, knew how to inquire about her preferences to please her, it turns out that he is really a person who can’t be shown to the public, he can only play some tricks, and do what others like.

This kind of person is just like Shan Tianfeng in the past, he is not worthy of her son at all, really a jackal of the same tribe.

The two cars set off one after the other when they arrived at the theater, Shen Yuhan went directly to the box with them, today, Old Master Jiang had reserved the room, and not many people had been invited, so he could sit in all the boxes at will.

As soon as they sat down, a play that Shen Yuhan ordered in advance from their old friend group was played on the stage, it just happened to start as they arrived.

This is a sad love story ——《The Peacock Flies Southeast6孔雀東南飛 (kǒng què dōng nán fēi): The Peacock Flies Southeast, originally An Old Poem Written for Jiao Zhongqing’s Wife (古詩為焦仲卿妻作), is the earliest long narrative gushi (古詩, a kind of poem) in the history of Chinese literature. It is called one of the two best yuefu (樂府), the other being Ballad of Mulan (木蘭辭). In the poem, Liu Lanzhi (劉蘭芝) married Jiao Zhongqing (焦仲卿), but Jiao’s mother made them divorce because she didn’t like Liu. Liu’s brother made her marry another man after she went back. In the end, both Liu and Jiao committed suicide before Liu’s second wedding. At the end of the chapter, the myth of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing turning into mandarin ducks after their death is conceived, which expresses the people’s strong desire to pursue freedom of love and a happy life.》.

Gu Biying still wore her hair in a lady’s bun today, after the waiter served tea, she looked at Shen Yuhan sitting opposite him, but Shen Yuhan was addicted to listening to the play and didn’t look back, there was no hint of flattery on his face.

After a long time, Gu Biqing said: “If you leave Shan Qihuan, I will give you five million.”

Shen Yuhan heard it, but he only knew that five million seemed quite small, he could count zeros as well as numbers, and five million was only seven figures.

He put down the teacup in his hand, slowly raised his eyelids, and imitated his husband’s tone of voice when discussing business with others: “First Madam, this is too little.”

The noble temperament that Gu Biying had always maintained froze on her face for a second: “…” What a young man with a greedy heart like a snake trying to swallow anelephant7T/N: So, the first part is an idiom, 貪心不足 (tān xīn bù zú), avaricious and insatiable (idiom); greedy and never satisfied; be insatiably avaricious/greedy; one’s/sb’s avarice knows no bounds. But the second part, 蛇吞象 (shé tūn xiàng), is a part of another similar idiom, 人心不足蛇吞象 (rén xīn bù zú shé tūn xiàng), a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant (idiom); being discontent is like a snake swallowing an elephant; a man who rests content with nothing is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—extraordinarily greedy; aggressively grasping; rapacious. I assume the author meant the second idiom.!


The author has something to say:

Shan Qihuan: Mother, five million is the price of twenty years ago!

Hanhan and his husband wish everyone a happy Labor Day~~

Although the five million is late, it has arrived, leave a comment today and you’ll get a small red envelope~~

You’re playing, but I’m really working~~

Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me between 2021-04-30 12:09:24~2021-05-01 12:00:56 or irrigated me with nutrients!

Thanks to the little angels who threw the landmine: [T/N: Lots and lots of usernames]; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

LoL While it’s true that SYH’s sense of money was broken, thanks to SQH, 5 mil CNY to make SYH leave SQH is indeed too little.

On another note, so that’s where the saying ‘beating the mandarin ducks’ comes from. I’ve never read The Peacock Flies Southeast before 😅
