The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 128 Being afraid of one's wife is nothing to be ashamed of

Are they confident in their abilities, or are they hesitant to refuse someone who offers themselves up?

Regardless of the type, it's unpleasant to look at.

Zhao Niangzi didn't even give the two of them a chance to speak: "Yesterday, my husband told me he wanted to take on a student, and I gave him a good scolding."

“I had my daughter when I was older, so my health isn’t as good as a younger wife’s. If he doesn’t help take care of the child, I’ll inevitably be overwhelmed.”

“He’s busy at the academy too. If he has to teach students as well, how much free time will he have? He can’t just abandon his wife and daughter.”

"It would be inconvenient if there were more people in the house, not to mention I wouldn't be used to it,"

She wiped the drool from the corner of her daughter's mouth with a handkerchief, looking helpless.

"I'm not one to mince words, and I have no ill intentions. If anything I say is offensive, please don't take it to heart."

"I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."

Hu Yaozu has experienced too little, and because he is good at reading, he is praised wherever he goes. How could he be treated so unkindly by outsiders?

He was embarrassed and ashamed, and the gift box in his hand was so heavy that he almost couldn't lift it.

He couldn't help but complain about Master Chu.

The apprenticeship ceremony was prepared at the request of Master Chu.

He had originally planned to visit Master Zhao later, but Master Chu said that Master Zhao was already showing interest. If they could finalize the deal today, they shouldn't delay, lest something unexpected happen along the way.

He thought so too.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, many students will surely come knocking.

If someone else beats you to it, you'll have nowhere to cry.

Master Chu suddenly looked at Master Zhao: "This..."

He suppressed his anger towards Zhao Niangzi.

What right does an illiterate woman have to meddle in men's affairs!

If it were his wife, she wouldn't dare to do that.

"what do you say?"

He's already brought them here, so there's no reason for him to let them leave now.

"My sister-in-law is usually a reasonable person."

Master Chu forced a smile: "This kind of thing depends on Brother Zhao's opinion. She can't stop you from doing this or that. If word gets out, people will laugh at you."

"Brother Zhao, you..."

The conversation was interrupted.

He looked at Master Zhao, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, and a bad feeling inexplicably arose within him.

Master Zhao looked distressed: "What should I do? I listen to her in everything, inside and outside the house."

If anyone else had said this, Master Chu wouldn't have believed it.

But Master Zhao said that it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

That's true.

Back when they were classmates, many students went out for drinks, but Master Zhao said he needed to go home and ask his wife.

He looked down on it.

Master Zhao didn't care what Master Chu thought.

He looked directly at Hu Yaozu for a moment. Thinking of what he had heard from Zhao Niangzi yesterday, he shook his head inwardly.

No matter how capable a person is, if their roots are crooked, they will become a scourge in the future.

Hu Yaozu was unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip away. He eagerly stepped forward and said, "Master Zhao, I have admired you for many years."

Master Zhao: "There are many others who admire me just like you."

He said to Hu Yaozu, "Look at this handsome man, but we're not meant to be. But I have something to tell you."

Those who rely on virtue prosper, while those who rely on force perish. Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by people themselves.

“If family members are immoral, they will suffer the consequences if they do not correct and repent. How much more so for yourself? You are a person who has studied the classics. Do not tarnish the name of the sages.”

Hu Yaozu froze abruptly, and a chill ran down his spine when he met Zhao Fuzi's cold gaze.

Did Master Zhao find out about what happened at home?

Undeterred, he probed, "Master, have you misunderstood me in some way?"

Master Zhao did not respond to him again.

He looked intently at Master Chu.

"My wife was just trying to save you some face. It would be pointless to keep bothering me."

"As a teacher, one must have upright intentions. Don't let your colleagues laugh at you."

“If you were willing to care about every student in the town, I would have no complaints and would even respect you. But what you are doing now is despicable.”

The two of them didn't even have a sip of tea before they entered.

Master Zhao, with his hands behind his back, began to shoo them away: "Alright, go back now, I won't see you off." What happened here was quite interesting.

Yu Tingwan only regretted that she could not see him in person.

She didn't eat breakfast inside. Now, she's sitting in the yard, holding her bowl, rummaging through her food, and staring longingly at the wall in the direction of the Zhao family's house.

She enjoyed listening to the whole thing. She could even imagine how grim Hu Yaozu's expression must be right now.

Even after everyone left, Yu Tingwan still felt a little unsatisfied.

In their previous lives, Hu Yaozu and Master Chu must have succeeded, hence there was no discord between the father-in-law and son-in-law.

But it's hard to say right now.

Unfortunately, Hu Yaozu had already agreed to the marriage, and even if it didn't work out, he would still have to rely on Teacher Chu to get into school in town. No matter how much resentment he felt, he could only swallow it down.

Pitiful.

It's all distorted.

Wei Zhao was placed in a wheelchair to the side, looking listless.

He hasn't left the house in a long time.

The air outside is fresh, and the drowsiness I've been cooped up indoors for the past few days is somewhat dispelled by the breeze.

Covered with a thick quilt and with a hand warmer tucked into his arms, he didn't feel cold at all.

His gaze fell on Yu Tingwan, whose lips curled up in a gloating smile that was hard to conceal.

At this moment, she turned her head and looked over, her smile growing wider.

Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.

really!

Yu Tingwan opened her lips, her voice gentle and soft: "I have many insights."

Wei Zhao didn't really want to hear it.

He looked away, leaned back, and looked up at the sky.

It was a sunny day.

His coffin should arrive in his hometown of Yiling today.

Annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Yes, Wei Zhao disliked the Fifth Prince Ying Yin for being too meddlesome.

Why transport it back to our hometown? The elders in Yiling will be heartbroken.

Someone tapped my shoulder with their fingertip.

Wei Zhao ignored him, his resistance was obvious.

Yu Tingwan: "Doesn't my husband have any?"

Wei Zhao: "No."

Yu Tingwan: "I don't believe it."

Wei Zhao:......

Yu Tingwan moved closer and continued poking him with great interest.

Wei Zhao was truly... not at all surprised. He's never been one for a good temper.

He thought for a moment.

Birds of a feather flock together; humans and dogs are different.

Yu Tingwan: ...Well said!
But that's not what she wanted to hear.

"Any more?"

Wei Zhao: "Master Zhao is a good teacher who treats all students equally."

Yu Tingwan agreed with these words.

"That's right. With Master Chu's wicked nature, I don't know how much Zhao Yu suffered under his command."

Yu Tingwan: "But I think the most important thing is that Master Chu just said those things, almost criticizing Madam Zhao for being too strict, but Master Zhao doesn't seem ashamed at all."

They said that they listened to Zhao Niangzi on everything, big or small, at home.

This is to support Zhao Niangzi.

Yu Tingwan finally got to the point: "It's not shameful for a real man to be afraid of his wife. What do you think?"

Wei Zhao: ...Heh.

He didn't want to pay attention.

Wei Zhao even tried to push off the quilt and stand up to walk away.

But he got hit with a hammer.

Wei Zhao was heartbroken and uttered a single sentence without any expression.

"indeed."
