The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 44: A Joyous Day—No Anger

As her words fell, the surrounding air became thin.

But Yu Tingwan didn’t want to elaborate, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The Zhou family’s daughter-in-law could disregard moral principles, what else would they not do? If they saw things unraveling, bore a grudge, and caused trouble at the Wei Family in Wei Shouzhong’s absence, how could she and Hui Niang, two womenfolk, withstand it?

There was really no need to ensnare herself for fifty coins. Better to avoid trouble.

However, she softly and subtly hinted, "This can’t be hidden, probably in a few days..."

She paused, listening to the direction of the conversation and simply said, "Auntie, no need to worry."

Indeed, Matchmaker Liu would be caught in the act with Li Lian.

Seeing her confident tone, Aunt Wu was seventy percent convinced.

Zhou Qin was raised under her watch, and in earlier years, who knew how much she suffered under her stepmother, Matchmaker Liu! Her ill-fated father and harsh grandfather despised her for being a girl, turning a blind eye to her maltreatments by her stepmother.

Back then, Matchmaker Liu wanted to marry off her stepdaughter far away. With her silver tongue, she praised some womanizer as an extraordinary groom.

If it weren’t for Zhou Qin’s maternal grandmother rushing over to cause a ruckus, with a few uncles to back her up, the child might have been wronged.

Though a scandal broke out, the whole family lost face.

But...

Aunt Wu slapped her thigh, "Alright, then I’ll have her wait at home!"

She and Zhou Qin couldn’t be happier if Matchmaker Liu had bad luck!

Aunt Wu felt relieved, not as gritting her teeth as before.

She smiled at Yu Tingwan.

Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt this girl looked a bit less pale and a bit more rosy than a few days before.

Even her chin seemed less sharp.

"I’m here for another matter today."

Aunt Wu: "My second son caught a rabbit, it’s very plump, planning to stew it for dinner. You must come for the evening meal."

If it weren’t for Yu Tingwan, Xiu Fen’s baby’s life might not have been saved. Aunt Wu cherished Yu Tingwan and was happy to be generous.

Just then, voices came from next door.

"Dear, where did the Aspidistra go? I left it in the house yesterday, and now it’s gone."

"Are all the couplets inside and outside the house pasted? Aren’t there a few ’Prosperity in Livestock’? Don’t forget to paste it on the chicken coop with glue."

"Granduncle has trouble walking, you should personally pick him up. He has treated us well over the years, we can’t be lacking in manners."

They were all Hui Niang’s voices.

Aunt Wu found it curious; in the countryside, there wasn’t much entertainment, any household happenings could be gossiped about for days.

She motioned to Yu Tingwan towards the next door.

"It’s strange, is the Wei Family planning a wedding? That Wei Family’s Lang was hurt so badly, when he came back, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, everyone said he couldn’t be saved."

She didn’t put much faith in Old Man Qian’s medical skills.

Previously, Xiu Fen had belly pains, and Old Man Qian couldn’t even tell she was pregnant.

Aunt Wu couldn’t help but inquire, "Wan Niang, you live close to the Wei Family, do you know who they’re marrying?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

You definitely asked the right person.

She knew it all too well!

But before she could open her mouth, Aunt Wu spoke first.

She slapped her thigh, "Look at me being confused, you and the Wei Family don’t socialize, so you probably just greet each other when passing by. What could you know?"

Yu Tingwan is a solitary person, not the type who likes to mingle with others.

Aunt Wu remembered that Yu Tingwan was just about to go out. She knew Yu Tingwan often went into the mountains, her expression turned serious.

"My second son learned hunting from the old hunter before, and he often goes into the mountains for some meat, but he doesn’t dare go deep, just walks around the outskirts. This morning he said he saw tracks of a wild beast in the snow."

Oh dear, just thinking about it is terrifying.

"Be sure not to go into the mountains these days."

Yu Tingwan: "I won’t go in."

That’s good.

Aunt Wu reminded again, "Remember to come to our place for a meal, Aunt makes delicious rabbit."

Yu Tingwan mildly responded, "I might not be able to."

"Why, do you have something to do?"

Yu Tingwan said lightly, "I need to find some time to go next door and have a wedding."

Aunt Wu: ???

————

Yu Tingwan walked lightly into the Wei Family’s house.

When she arrived, Hui Niang was in the courtyard wiping the Aspidistra, next to her were red paper ribbons, along with colored festive eggs and peanuts.

"Why are you up so early?"

Seeing her, Hui Niang’s smile broadened.

She laid festive eggs and peanuts on the red paper, then carefully wrapped them with the Aspidistra, tying it with a red string to prevent scattering, knotting it firmly.

This was to be carried over a fire basin by the bride later.

Hui Niang then picked up the peanuts from the side, pinched them slightly with her fingers, hearing a crack, opened them, and then bit the leaf of the Aspidistra.

Soon, the Aspidistra was adorned with red and green peanuts, quite festive.

Seeing Yu Tingwan watching from the side, Hui Niang remarked.

"I’ve steamed some sweet potatoes, go to the kitchen and have some to fill your stomach."

Yu Tingwan responded.

In the kitchen, besides sweet potatoes, there was also... Wei Zhao absent-mindedly peeling sweet potatoes.

Wei Zhao was awakened early by Wei Shouzhong and Hui Niang’s voices.

He wanted to continue lying down, but Wei Shouzhong insisted he get up to try the walking stick they made overnight.

Wei Zhao peeled a bit, putting a piece in his mouth.

The taste was bland and waxy.

Seeing Yu Tingwan enter, he didn’t even bother to lift his head.

Yu Tingwan picked up the walking stick by his feet, examining it with interest, not forgetting to test its feel.

"Uncle..."

Yu Tingwan paused.

That form of address needed adjustment.

She, ever so naturally and without any shyness, said, "Our father’s craftsmanship is indeed excellent."

Wei Zhao wondered how Yu Tingwan could be so naturally accustomed so smoothly.

He indifferently replied, "Like it?"

Yu Tingwan nodded, "Mmm hmm."

Having a walking stick meant Wei Zhao should be encouraged to walk more. Lying around all day, one could fall ill even if they weren’t sick.

Wei Zhao: "Then it’s yours."

He didn’t even need to discard it himself.

Technically, this was Wei Zhao’s wedding gift.

Who gives a walking stick?

Can she use it!

Though Yu Tingwan could guess his underlying intention, she refrained from showing anger.

On a joyous day, one should not get angry.

The young girl was silent for a long time.

So long that even Wei Zhao felt the kitchen’s silence was peculiar.

Wei Zhao was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Yu Tingwan finally found her voice, calmly, "I was thinking whether I should break my leg, otherwise, it’ll just gather dust."

Anyone with perceptive eyes would know girls often say things contrary to their feelings, and would have smiled and apologized long ago.

But Wei Zhao didn’t.

He moved his eyes slightly.

"Need help?"

Yu Tingwan couldn’t hold back any longer and raised her hand to punch him.

She was really strong.

It actually hurt, yet she was careful to avoid vital areas.

In all his years, Wei Zhao was hit for the first time.
