The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 111: The Wei Family Is Anything but Ordinary

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Wei Family Is Anything but Ordinary

The couple has poured all their love and effort into her.

In Yu Tingwan’s memory, there were many women gossiping behind the scenes.

Some even went to Mrs. Yu to criticize.

"This won’t do. You’re making your man childless. He says he doesn’t mind, but how can you accept it with such thick skin? What use are daughters? They’ll marry out eventually."

"Listen to my advice, take medicine if you need to, see a doctor if necessary. That Wang family woman from the street took medicines for five years and then ashes for half a year, and she’s pregnant now."

Mrs. Yu was gentle by nature and never argued with them.

But Yu Tingwan was furious at that time.

The little girl clenched her fists.

"Doesn’t Mother get angry?"

Mrs. Yu held her in her arms, smiled, and touched her head.

"Life is lived for oneself."

"Your father treats us both well, gives us the best food and clothing. How can those people not be jealous?"

"Their men are not as capable, caring, or good as your father. They didn’t marry right; I feel sorry for them."

When those women saw Mrs. Yu didn’t respond, they went to Yu’s father instead.

"Yu Biao Master, you have money, but don’t be foolish. Every man strays, we know you value feelings, but for the sake of offspring, you must find a way. Anyway, your wife is gentle, even if you keep another woman outside and have children, she won’t make a fuss."

Yu’s father immediately darkened his face and drove them all out.

He coldly spoke out.

"Are you so full that you’re meddlesome? Who do you think you are? My family’s business is none of your concern."

"What’s wrong with daughters? I just love my Yaoyao! I want to adorn her and her mother with gold and silver, to live a good life. Your families might have sons, many offspring, but you’re tightening your belts and borrowing money everywhere just to manage."

"Just because my wife is kind, does it mean I should bully her? I worked hard to marry her, not to make her suffer!"

"Why rush for a child? I don’t want her to suffer."

Thinking of these matters, the amusement in Yu Tingwan’s eyes deepened.

She looked at Hui Niang.

"It’s good that the Zhao Family is around, having such neighbors."

The young woman thought for a moment.

"Let’s prepare some food, Mother’s skills are excellent, surely better than what’s bought outside, and homemade is cleaner, it can serve as snacks for the little ones."

Hui Niang agreed, finding it reasonable.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

After speaking, she started to worry again.

"When we passed by the medicine shop last time, didn’t we pass a rouge shop? Young women love to dress up, make sure you buy some."

Hui Niang looked at Yu Tingwan’s face smeared with stove soot, feeling distressed.

Young women love to look pretty, who likes to smear such stuff on their face?

With Wan Niang’s tender skin, long-term use might cause a rash.

But there wasn’t much choice.

The girl’s beauty stood out too much in the county; being cautious was best.

Hui Niang advised, "Use it at home."

She added, "Buy some winter cream for your face too, the Du Family’s daughter-in-law said it works wonders."

"Don’t neglect yourself."

Yu Tingwan sighed: "I don’t need it."

She was quite carefree.

Back then, she only bought ointment for chilblains when it became unbearable, her hands both itchy and painful, any further neglect and they would rot.

Hui Niang chided, "Seeing you dress up makes Mother happy."

She continued, "Lang will definitely be fond when he sees it."

Yu Tingwan: ...

That probably wouldn’t be the case.

After all, Wei Zhao couldn’t... perform; no matter how pretty she was, it wouldn’t matter.

As mother and daughter-in-law conversed, they arrived at the door.

Hui Niang opened the door, attempting to speak, but her expression froze.

The smile on Yu Tingwan’s lips stiffened as well.

Could someone tell her,

why there was a big pit in front of the door?

Who dug this!!!

And it was very round!

And very deep!

She... couldn’t get out.

Hui Niang angrily exclaimed, "Who’s so mean!"

Yu Tingwan wasn’t sure.

She furrowed her brow, puzzled.

This day and age, would someone really go crazy and dig a hole at someone else’s door?

Yet strangely, it seemed familiar.

Not to mention... it resembled the pits on Xilin Village’s mountain.

Just then, some activity was heard from the Zhao Family ahead.

Mrs. Zhao, holding her baby daughter, stuck her head out.

She had a round face, very affable.

But now, accompanied by confusion.

"Is your family planning..."

Lady Zhao asked rather tactfully, "Did you think the road was uneven and are fixing it?"

Don’t blame her for asking; she was just too curious.

Next door, the Wei Family was quite mysterious.

Crows were always cawing atop their house.

Yesterday, the husband was teaching the daughter to recite Three Character Classic in the yard.

The daughter hadn’t memorized it.

Oh, but the crow did.

It was hopping up and down under the eaves all morning.

"Human nature is inherently good, inherently similar, nurture diverges..."

This cleverness stunned both her and her husband.

Mr. Zhao nodded continuously: "Good! Good! This bird is smart, as if possessing wisdom. Those parrots sold outside are no match. Our Nannan surely will memorize it after hearing it enough!"

Hearing her husband’s words, Lady Zhao found it very plausible.

There was more mystery behind.

Mr. Zhao, after morning meal, was ready to assist at the Post Station.

There were limited officials remaining, and too many folks coming to voice grievances daily.

For the moment, it was too busy, so nearby academy’s scholars helped register.

But he just turned a corner and came right back.

Mr. Zhao returned with shock on his face: "What kind of people live next door?"

"Why do they look so extraordinary?"

"What happened?"

In a speechless manner, Mr. Zhao told his wife: "You might not know, the poem I wrote yesterday got blown next door by the wind, when I went there to fetch it, it ended up in that sickly lad’s hand."

The boy was over twenty years younger than him.

Mr. Zhao’s scholarship was among the best in the county, he had the pride of a scholar, yet he was exceptionally humble.

"So I said it wasn’t good. Asked for it back."

"He actually said! He actually said it indeed was laughable."

Mr. Zhao felt unconvinced.

Then... then, he was advised by Wei Zhao.

And... greatly benefited from it.

Mr. Zhao sighed: "It’s indeed true there are always people better than oneself. He doesn’t talk much, but his words carry weight, had he not been in poor health, he surely would have succeeded in the imperial exams."

"His wife and mother also seem unusual."

Mr. Zhao: "You might not know, those two, at night out of fullness, dug a huge pit at the door."

"After all, it’s manual labor, not something Little Wei could have done."

...

At the moment, facing Lady Zhao’s inquiry, Yu Tingwan’s smile was stiff.

Yu Tingwan: "Wasn’t us who did it."

Lady Zhao: "Ah? Then who did it?"

Yu Tingwan: "Don’t know."

Just as the words landed, the voice of the crow came.

"Human nature is inherently good, inherently similar, nurture diverges, if uncultivated, nature changes..."

The crow circled above the pit.

But as it recited, it digressed.

Suddenly recalling something, the crow tilted its head, calling loudly and heart-wrenchingly.

"Caiying!"

"Caiying! Give me a son!"
