The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 10 Funerals and weddings held together
After the rain, the snow continued to fall, and the temperature dropped another three points.

Yu Tingwan went up the mountain every day.

But she accidentally lost her footing and tumbled down, finally crashing heavily into a tree root.

The pain in her body kept her from getting up for a long time.

But it was here that she dug up a yam as thick as her arm.

"I've got it. The herbs I need look like this. They can stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Your son can use them."

Voices could be heard from not far away.

Old Man Qian casually tossed the freshly picked herbs to Hui Niang.

Hui Niang quickly accepted it with both hands: "Okay."

She was terrified of offending Old Man Qian.

Ever since the man got his money back, his mother-in-law has been making a scene during the day and at night, disturbing the old man's peace.

Old Lady Wei was old and shameless. She sat in front of Old Man Qian's door and made a scene, saying she didn't want to live anymore. She even rammed her head against the door. Even the village head couldn't get rid of her.

What can we do with her?
Seeing that Old Man Qian's face was getting darker and darker, Hui Niang was afraid that he would no longer want to treat A Lang.

Old Man Qian was a widower with no children. His house was dirty and messy because there was no woman to manage it.

Hui Niang cleaned up the Qian family's house and prepared a portion for Old Man Qian when cooking. Wei Shouzhong helped fetch water and chop firewood.

Old Man Qian has been living a very comfortable life these past few days. So much so that every time he wants to kick someone out, he... can't bring himself to say it.

"Alright, let's split up and search."

Although they were separated, the distance between them was not too far.

Old Man Qian used a wooden stick to knock away the thick snow, his hands behind his back, suppressing his temper and shouting loudly: "Your mother-in-law's mouth is filthy and smelly, it's disgusting to look at!"

Hui Niang looked gloomy and bit her lip hard.

Old Man Qian: "It's one thing for her to insult you, but she even insulted me!"

"Want some Gelsemium elegans?"

Hui Niang was taken aback, then hesitated: "Should we use poison to fight poison for Ah Lang?"

"Give this to your mother-in-law."

He quipped, "I can't poison her to death!"

Yu Tingwan: ...

She should have left.

But... it's really attractive.

Yu Tingwan cleared her throat and limped over from the side: "Could I have one?"

Old Man Qian: ? ? ?
Why are there still people here!
The trees on the mountain were lush and dense, and if Yu Tingwan didn't make a sound, it would be really hard to tell her where she was.

Yu Tingwan: "My aunt also really needs it."

Hui Niang: ...What kind of people are these?

"That's unacceptable."

Seeing that she was a stranger, Hui Niang still advised, "That heartbreak grass will kill you if you eat it."

Yu Tingwan: "I was just trying to scare her."

After that night, Wang behaved herself considerably.

But she's the kind of person who never learns from her mistakes!
Yu Tingwan took three bird eggs yesterday and cooked them. She ate two last night, and planned to eat the last one this morning.

It was stolen and eaten by Wang.

She looked at Old Man Qian expectantly: "But I don't have any money, can I buy on credit?"

Old Man Qian: "Do you know what my surname is?"

Yu Tingwan failed to get the Heartbreak Grass in the end, and dejectedly picked up her big yam to leave.

Old Qian had a keen eye; yams could be used in medicine.

"and many more."

Do you sell your yams?

Yu Tingwan is short of money.

She asked, "How much are you offering?"

Old Man Qian: "Ten coins."

Who would she be willing to pay such a small amount of money? If she took it to town, she could sell it for at least twenty coins.

But the road was still blocked... Yu Tingwan really didn't have a single penny on her.

She was very poor.

She scratched the chilblains on her hands until they broke open, making them itchy and painful. The ointment her neighbor, Aunt Wu's daughter-in-law, used had worked very well for her once.

One bottle costs twelve coins.

I bought it in town; you can't buy it now.

But she could give money to the young wife of the Wu family to share half a bottle.

Otherwise, these hands would be ruined.

After receiving the money, Yu Tingwan gave the yams to Old Man Qian and prepared to go down the mountain.

She walked slowly, afraid of falling again.

Behind her came Hui Niang's sigh: "That girl is really pretty."

"Once Ah Lang recovers, I'll find him a beautiful wife. I just hope the young couple can live happily ever after."

But... she was troubled.

With her family's poor financial situation and Old Lady Wei's unreasonable demands, it's unlikely anyone would want to be her in-law. Old Man Qian didn't laugh at her for thinking so far ahead.

Can……

He frowned deeply.

"Better say goodbye."

“Your son is even more ruthless than a wolf cub… He might stab the bride as soon as she enters the house.”

"Funerals and weddings can be combined into one event."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

Even she, who was usually calm and collected, was a little bewildered.

This shows that one should be careful when getting married!
Wei Shen was a soldier, so why does he seem like a barbaric bandit?

She cherished her life immensely and couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Wei family lived at the end of the village, while the Wang family lived at the beginning.

Once she marries Butcher Wu, they will have no further contact.

Yu Tingwan didn't take this little incident to heart.

Wu, the young wife next door, was initially displeased after learning Yu Tingwan's purpose, but her smile changed when she saw Yu Tingwan take out six coins.

She bought the ointment before she moved in last year, and there's still more than half left.

After becoming pregnant, it was put on hold.

Seeing that Yu Tingwan wanted to buy it, she was more than happy to oblige. She gave it to her along with the small pottery jar.

She covered her mouth and whispered, "Your cousin's family is here. You should stay at my house for a while and go back later."

Yu Tingwan was not surprised.

"She's about to give birth, so it's not surprising that her family came to visit."

Although she said that, she knew better than anyone why the Xu family had come.

The wind and snow have been heavy these past few days. The Xu family's house is simple, and the roof has been blown off. How can they keep warm?

Since the house couldn't be built in one day, the family had no choice but to swallow their pride and come to stay with us.

In their past life, they brought food and even reluctantly cut off a piece of meat, but Wang refused and kicked them all out.

The Xu family had nowhere to go, so they cried outside the Hu family's door.

The villagers all came to see what was going on.

Wang, wanting to save face, had no choice but to open the door.

But this life... is probably different.

After all, the water tank at home was too shallow, and no one bothered to lift it. Nor did anyone chop the firewood.

Wang Shi had no one to serve her anymore.

If the Xu family comes, she probably won't want to send them away.

Yu Tingwan's gaze slowly moved down and landed on Wu Xiao's pregnant belly.

"Going back to my parents' home the day after tomorrow?"

Wu's wife exclaimed in surprise, "Yes!"

"My third brother is getting married soon, I have to go back to help."

"It's best if my sister-in-law doesn't go out."

Wu's wife: ? ? ?
Yu Tingwan knew that her husband had injured his leg half a month ago and had to rest for some time. After a moment of thought, she said.

"If I'm really in a hurry to get back, I'll ask Aunt Wu to accompany me."

Wu's young wife: ...

She wouldn't dare.

Her mother-in-law had a lot of complaints about her wanting to go back to her parents' home, and kept criticizing her for only thinking about her parents' home.

Yu Tingwan: "Our two families live close by, and the roads are slippery in the snow. I'm worried that my sister-in-law might get hurt by something."

It turned out to be the case.

Wu's wife waved her hand dismissively, saying, "You're overthinking it."

She couldn't possibly be that unlucky. If she had been careful on her way back, how could anything have happened?
Yu Tingwan was very straightforward: "Then I miscarried."

"I wouldn't joke about something like this."

When the fetus was involved, Wu's wife's face darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense! Mother, aren't you cursing me? The fortune teller said my pregnancy will be safe."

Yu Tingwan looked at her sincerely, staring straight at her, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye even had a touch of bewitching charm: "Then perhaps he isn't as clever as me."

She couldn't help but ask, "How much does it cost per session?"

"Thirty cents."

How many? ? ?

She almost lost her life and only earned 12 coins, and that was only if she was lucky.

Yu Tingwan remained silent.

Aunt Wu arrived at this time. She looked at her daughter-in-law, whose face was pale, and then at Yu Tingwan, who was lost in thought.

"what happened?"

"I'm thinking……"

"What are you thinking about?"

Yu Tingwan said quietly, "I'm thinking about whether to set up a fortune-telling stall to make money."
