My Vegetative Partner Opened His Eyes in Anger After I Ran Away Chapter Ch43.1 - Mother-in-Law Came To Visit

Chapter Ch43.1 - Mother-in-Law Came To Visit

Translator: Callis

The one who was seeking trouble ended up being the one who was troubled. Zong He had never thought that there would be this kind of work between a husband and wife. For a while, he didn’t know what he should say.

Tang Wan gently and softly rubbed the big cat’s head and casually laughed: “You don’t need to be so angry in the future, drinking vinegar at the drop of a hat. Otherwise, other people ought to call you lemon essence.”

Zong He watched him ‘ba ba ba’ speak right in front of him. Whatever he said was correct, and he didn’t bother arguing back at all. Hugging Tang Wan’s waist, he held him still in his embrace and resentfully said: “I was thinking too much, you don’t have to give it.”

Tang Wan flattened his lips, his face first flus.h.i.+ng red. The Marshal’s gaze was too clear, and his grievance was also very clear. In the past, he could decline because the other’s body wasn’t well, but now the other’s body had become stronger and he was still refusing to perform his marital duties. Tang Wan also felt that he really wasn’t a man.

Zong He waited for Tang Wan to give him a word of permission. Tang Wan’s lukewarm temperament was too bothersome. If he didn’t encourage him a little, he would be forever unable to take the initiative to step out of his own little defensive circle.

At this time, there was a grumbling sound. Tang Wan’s stomach had taken this inopportune moment to call out. Tang Wan’s face became even more flushed and laughed nervously a few times. “I didn’t eat a lot for breakfast.”

Zong He unhappily patted his waist a few times, “Eat first, then we can talk after you’ve eaten your fill.” He hadn’t been able to get a definite answer again. Zong He stood and hauled Tang Wan up, walking past the door. Already this skinny, if he became any skinner he would be invisible.

The corner of Tang Wan’s lips slowly quirked up. Looking at Zong He’s tall and reliable back, his heart was sweetened. This big cat really hated to see him receive the least bit of blame.

— — — —

When Tang Wan went to eat, the kittens had already completely eaten all of the meat. Mulan took the initiative to take care of the children. She brought the smaller cats out to sun on the balcony and helped lick their fur. The other cats were lazily licking their own paws.

After Tang Wan was full, he returned to take a look and saw that the audience was still watching, spellbound. There wasn’t a barrage, but the number of people hadn’t decreased a bit. He really was convinced by this group of people. They really could watch for a full day. “You guys aren’t going to rest?”

The audience members replied one after another: No rest! We’re strong!

You can go back to confess, we don’t need you here, just having meng pets is enough!

Tang Wan was speechless. Who was confessing? Did his position in the household need confessing for?

“Ten more minutes, then they really need to be withdrawn. Otherwise, I won’t let Xuan Feng sing for you all.”

The audience threw rewards again: Begging! You! Not! To! Close!

The live broadcast mustn’t close, the song still needs to be sung!

Tang Wan couldn’t help but laugh: “You all beg a lot.”

Barrage: That’s right, we’re honorable!

Tang Wan ridiculed them in his heart: You all have been misbehaving like a mantis shrimp, and still are ‘honorable’.

“Feng ah, come. Sing the brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties a refres.h.i.+ng song. Sing the song that the strange uncle did when he carried you, the one who danced when he sang. Do you recall the name?”

The audience roared with laughter: Luo Bing Jun!

“Correct.” Tang Wan profoundly nodded. “Your Uncle Luo.”

The audience screenshotted it and tagged Luo Bing Jun. ‘Tang Tang says you’re a strange uncle, asking your psychological shadow!’

Xuan Feng’s face was blank. It didn’t understand what Tang Wan’s long string of requests meant? It could only understand simple commands.

Tang Wan laughed. In the end, it was only as smart as a bird and he didn’t need to worry that it would become enlightened. “Don’t know how to sing it? Then Uncle Luo’s song just isn’t that popular yet. Then you can sing your favorite song and twirl around.”

This time, Xuan Feng understood and trembled in excitement, flying over. “I know, I know!”

When Xuan Feng pretended to be unskilled, Tang Wan’s communication device beeped twice. He opened it, and saw that Bo Li Qiao had already sent over the two million. He also sent him another reminder.

Tang Wan politely responded: I’ve received it, thank you.

Bo Li Qiao: Don’t mind it, this is what it’s supposed to be. There’s actually something that we want to ask for your help on. We want your cat to act as our company’s mascot. A year’s worth of advertising fees would be around ten million. Would you accept?

Tang Wan raised his eyebrows, pleasantly surprised. If he didn’t accept it, then he was a fool! However, before they spoke more about it, he couldn’t speak so contentedly. Tang Wan asked: Which cat are you looking at? I’m considering it.

Bo Li Qiao: The chubby child Jin Xiao Pang! Our boss especially likes it!

Tang Wan glanced at Jin Xiao Pang, who was so chubby that it looked like a big dango. This child really was adorable, with universal appeal. He asked: I want to know what work it will be doing when advertising. Is it exhausting?

Bo Li Qiao: It’s just taking a few pictures. It’s also okay if you’re the one to take the picture. Our colleague in the advertising department says that your photographic techniques are very good. You can pa.s.s it on to me, and we have staff members that specialize in manufacturing billboards. You can rest a.s.sured, there won’t be anyone willing to let it suffer any hards.h.i.+ps. The amount of money earned will be extremely satisfying.

Tang Wan: We have a contract then?

Bo Li Qiao: Of course! If I defraud you, you can bring an army over to beat me!

Tang Wan held his forehead. There really were too many smart people. Luo Bing Jun also definitely knew his ident.i.ty.

In this amount of time, Xuan Feng had already finished its song, its success making everyone laugh and applause, thanking Xuan Feng for refres.h.i.+ng them.

Tang Wan saw that the atmosphere was right, then spoke with everyone: “We really have to end here this time, I need to take a nap.”

Audience: Don’t want!!!

You can just go sleep, we don’t need you!

Tang Tang, do you want to try for the record of the longest live broadcast? After the challenge, you can apply for the record. Others sing and dance for 24 hours, for you, it would be enough to let the cats out for 24 hours! Wouldn’t that be very good???

Tang Wan answered profoundly: “I feel that what you said is very reasonable. I don’t have to do it for just 24 hours. I can summon all of the meng pets, and can live broadcast one of them every day. It would be different every day of the week. This really answers Xuan Feng’s words. Who else dares to fight with me?”

The audience clapped one after another: Right right right! Just be this aggressive!

Looking at them speaking, Tang Wan clearly stood up and waved his hands, “Then I’ll go take my afternoon nap.”

This time, it was the audience’s turn to be stupefied: He really isn’t going off line? Just live broadcasting like this?

Is he really challenging the record for the longest live broadcast?

That’s not right, he could also be teasing us! He’s done it before!

He’s already said it. Anyways, it’s okay to be idle, and it’s fun to tease the fans so he could be teasing us! We’ll be ready for combat, don’t relax!

The audience was nervous for half a day. They noticed that Tang Wan hadn’t returned, but it was his little a.s.sistant who tidied everything up, blankly, wordlessly staring at the camera. He closed the door. They could still quietly watch the cats that had left the room to sleep.

Audience: ……The host really went to sleep!

We’re the first audience that has been left behind by their host!

We’ll quietly draw ourselves the credentials. Today really is worth commemorating.

……

In the bedroom across the hall, Zong He had transformed into a large cat, drowsily basking under the sun on the balcony. This characteristic of cats couldn’t be changed. When they were at home, they just wanted to transform into their original forms and roll around under the sun, relaxing.

Tang Wan walked over and lay down beside Zong He. He first touched the soft, thick blanket, then enthusiastically hugged the big cat, rubbing his face against him~

“I need to add tatami to this spot, then add a cus.h.i.+on and a rug so you can lie comfortably under the sun everyday.”

Zong He lifted his paw and pulled Tang Wan closer into his embrace, then softly licked him twice on the chin. Tang Wan’s ears turned red and he buried his face in Zong He’s neck and used all of his strength to rub against it, his eyes glinting in laughter. He pouted, “So dirty, I still need to do a live broadcast in the afternoon!”

Zong He used his paw to pat his head, unhappy like the evasive Tang Wan. Tsundere people really were hard to raise. It clearly was him who had first thrown himself at him. As a big cat who spoiled his partner, the Marshal would take it as his partner being embarra.s.sed and wouldn’t argue with him. “Live broadcasting for so long, aren’t you tired?”

Tang Wan whispered: “I’m still okay. Anyways, we can make a lot of money.”

For Zong He, looking at Tang Wan was like looking at a little shark. “What are you doing, trying to earn so much money?”

Tang Wan cupped the big cat’s face and pinched his cheeks, “To support you ah. If there isn’t any money, then you won’t have any meat to eat, you’ll starve and then your fur won’t be proper. And you could also get worms and turn into a bald cat.”

Zong He imagined what he would look like bald and his expression darkened.

Tang Wan grinned and told him: “Good Baby Production Company wants Jin Xiao Pang to do advertis.e.m.e.nts. They’re giving ten million a year, enough for all of our family’s meals. The live broadcast typically generates a little pocket money, and with selling toy designs, supporting you wouldn’t be a problem.”

Zong He’s voice deepened: “You can sell your cats and just support me.”

“Not selling!” Tang Wan fixed his guarded gaze on the big cat in front of him. “You’re all the same species, why are you so eager to fry the others? No matter how you say it, you’re their adoptive father, how could you be willing to sell them off?!”

Tang Wan’s emotions were clear: Your heart is dead, you wicked stepmother!

Zong He rubbed against the other’s chin, “I’m teasing.”

Only then did Tang Wan give him a pleasant expression and explained to him: “After all, they’ve been extinct for a long time. If they left me, it’s very possible that they would be taken away and experimented on. I like money, but I don’t want just any kind of money.”

Zong He couldn’t help but rub against Tang Wan’s face a few more times. Tang Wan’s steadfastness was what moved him the most. No matter how much he was enticed, Tang Wan would remain firm and stand by his decision, adorably stubborn.

Tang Wan went and pulled over a pillow and placed it on top of the blanket. He lay back down beside Zong He and remembered the Crazy Luo Bei he had played video games with. “How do you feel about the child I told you about at noon?”

Zong He thought about the video: “If he’s only 16 years old, then he’s a military genius.”

Tang Wan excitedly exclaimed: “Then that’s too good, quickly seek him out!”

Just when Tang Wan was excited, Lin Bo arrived at the doorway and rang the doorbell, saying through the room’s broadcasting system: “Marshal, there’s a person from the palace here to deliver a message.”

When he heard “palace”, Zong He’s expression turned serious, “What happened?”

Lin Bo helplessly said: “The old Madam and His Majesty got into an argument, wanting to see Fūrén. His Majesty had no choice but to send a person over to deliver a message. They want you two to take a trip over.”

Tang Wan blinked. Half a day pa.s.sed before he reacted and pointed towards his own nose: “Your mother wants to see me?”

Zong He pulled Tang Wan closer to himself, raised his eyebrow and asked: “Why does my partner have to see her?”

Tang Wan sensed Zong He’s defensive and nervous manner. He was aware that Zong He and his mother’s relations.h.i.+p was more than just terrible.

Lin Bo tried to pacify him: “If they don’t meet, the old Madam might go find His Majesty and make noise. At the time, the Imperial household would have to step in, and the person that would be embarra.s.sed is Fūrén. This time, His Majesty already said that if you go to see her, it would be giving him face.”

Zong He was still in a bad mood, “I have to do what he says?”

Tang Wan admired him, how resolute. Man of steel Zong He, disobeying His Majesty’s words.

Lin Bo couldn’t help but laugh, and he whispered: “Give His Majesty a little face ah. In the end, he’s your older cousin, and he liked you a lot when you two were little.”

There was still an expression of anger on Zong He’s feline face. “If she wants to go make noise, then she can go make noise. An aunt is still half a mother. I’m already protecting the empire for him, then gifted him a ‘ma’. Tell him that he doesn’t need to thank me.”

“Pfft!” Tang Wan couldn’t bear it, pushed into laughter by his sentence, “Also gifted a ‘ma’ hahahaha~”

Being stared at by Zong He, Tang Wan quickly closed his mouth. He wouldn’t laugh anymore, Zong He’s expression really was scary.

Zong He unhappily said: “We’ll talk more after he comes to find me.”

Tang Wan stealthily patted Zong He’s neck and smoothed downed his fur, “It doesn’t need to be this troublesome. If she wants to meet me, we can meet. Don’t make His Majesty unhappy.”

Achievements are greater than the lord. Tang Wan was afraid that His Majesty, who gave his wife a green hat, would give Zong He trouble.

Zong He’s expression eased slightly, “Don’t go. If you go, you could be angered to tears.”

Tang Wan was also a little fearful, “You’ve been angered to tears?”

Zong He gave a cold snort, “I angered her to tears.”

Tang Wan wordless looked at Lin Bo. Just what was the matter between the two?

Lin Bo shook his head. It was difficult to explain in a few words.

Because of Zong He’s refusal, this matter was dropped for the time being. Tang Wan didn’t get his afternoon nap. He lay down for a while, then went to take a peek into the live broadcasting room. The group of people was unexpectedly still there!

Tang Wan wanted to kneel over for them, touching so much that they got addicted!

When Tang Wan returned, the audience knew that he wanted to exit the live broadcast and they all shouted: You don’t need to come! Go back and rest! The live broadcast doesn’t need you! Just having cats would be enough! We can challenge the live broadcasting record for another week, you can leave!

Tang Wan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He would be the first host to be driven out by their own audience.

However, these cats still needed to be accompanied and coaxed by people. Tang Wan teased them with a cat stick for a while, and they were all delighted. Then he had no choice but to say goodbye to the audience and left among the audience’s urges of “You quickly leave then.”

Tang Wan also thought that being like this was also very good. He didn’t need to monitor it in any way; he just needed to let them pet the cats. He could still have a hand on his popularity, such that he didn’t need to rely on the audience’s rewards to pa.s.s his days. The advertising fees would be enough to support them for a year. As he became more popular, the advertising fees would also rise. In the future, he could also contact other advertisers, such as the Young Feline’s Special Beautiful Fur Skincare Company, Feline Powdered Milk, Feline Meat Jerky, and Combing Fur Combs. He could use his cats for anything that cats could use.

Tang Wan thought; he didn’t just have to do advertis.e.m.e.nts for cats but could do them for hooved creatures as well. He had Shen Zhu Ge, the short-legged pony, and the mini donkey. They all had hooves, and he could do advertis.e.m.e.nts for good-quality hoof tr.i.m.m.i.n.g scissors. With this scheme, Tang Wan felt that his future was bright, and supporting his family wouldn’t be a problem.

Tang Wan waited until the evening to check on the live broadcasting room again. The number of people in the audience hadn’t decreased, and he couldn’t help but ask: “You guys aren’t going to eat?”

There came a string from the barrage: Eating while watching them ah~

Tang Wan shook his head. After feeding the cats, he looked at the clock. “It’s almost 7 o’clock already, and the live broadcast has been running for ten hours already, everyone go rest a bit.”

The audience disagreed: No! We must achieve the magnificent feat of watching the live broadcast for a week! Tang Wan, don’t be scared, we’ll do it together!

Tang Wan simply sat down, and sincerely and earnestly spoke to everyone: “Say, there are people addicted to the Internet, smoking, and alcohol. In the future, will there be a term ‘addicted to cats’? If you all become so addicted, will I get banned?”

The audience laughed and cried, what kind of d.a.m.ned addiction was this?

“So,” Tang Wan sat still and upright, solemnly saying, “We’ll finish today’s live broadcast here; there will be cats to see in the future. Don’t let my account get banned.”

Tang Wan worried that something unexpected would happen when he slept at night, when there weren’t people there. He returned them all to the system.

Although the audience was still wailing in anguish, they weren’t as impa.s.sioned as they had been before. They were also tired after watching for a whole day. After hearing Tang Wan, if he said to withdraw, then they would withdraw.

It was also the first time that Tang Wan had done a live broadcast for an entire day. When he counted his rewards, he was shocked. This group of people had given rewards of more than 8 million! After he paid his taxes, he still had 4 million!

With Heavenly Emperor Luo Bing Jun present, adding on the video game’s big shot ‘Prevailing Over Buddha’, and Tang Wan’s top-notch traffic flow, the three overlords unexpectedly pulled in so many people to give rewards. Tang Wan was quickly moved to tears, thanking the Empire’s people for his meals!

To express his thanks, he pulled out all of the pictures of the meng pets he had taken before, as well as Luo Bing Jun’s autographs, and went to Weibo to set up a lottery.

Eating, sleeping, and scolding Da Zhuang: Pulling a total of sixty people. Twenty people will get Luo Bing Jun’s autograph, twenty people will get the meng pet’s photo alb.u.m, and twenty people will get ten thousand star coins each. Thank you all for today’s support, without all of you, I wouldn’t be here today. I love you all, heart ~ @Luo Bing Jun’s Studio

Luo Bing Jun was dumbstruck.

Xu Mi sighed. See, he had really sold Luo Bing Jun off!

I’m choosing to split this chapter into two because…its almost 9k (aka 3 chapters worth) characters and I’ve never suffered more so y’all better enjoy this ・゜・(ノД`)

In the future, anything longer than 6k will be split in half for my sanity’s sake.

Also, the next half of the chapter requires a slight trigger warning so I decided to split here.
