The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 132 Doesn't my husband think he's handsome?
Two weeks later, the sky cleared up. It was still cold, but compared to before, there were signs of it getting warmer.

Since that night, Wei Zhao has been particularly unrestrained.

Yu Tingwan had just finished decocting the medicine and brought it out of the kitchen when she saw Wei Zhao standing by the window.

After taking the medicine for some time, his complexion improved and he looked much better. However, due to the acupuncture treatment, he endured too much pain and had no appetite, unable to eat anything all day.

A gust of wind blew, ruffling Wei Zhao's loose hair. He stood there coldly and aloof, looking much thinner.

But surprisingly, he was able to get out of bed.

Although he can't stand for long, he walks unsteadily.

Yu Tingwan frowned, about to say it was cold and she should go back to lie down! Just then, a blue crow flew in from outside, circled once in the air, and then flapped its wings toward Wei Zhao's direction.

It landed steadily.

Wei Zhao glanced at Yu Tingwan, then openly removed the letter tied to the crow's claws without any attempt at concealment.

He opened it and read ten lines at a glance.

After doing all this, he then disposed of the body and destroyed the evidence in front of Yu Tingwan.

Wei Zhao: "Did you see anything?"

Yu Tingwan brought the medicine over and uttered two words.

"No."

Wei Zhao chuckled: "Fine."

Anyway, Yu Tingwan isn't blind; she just doesn't want to admit it. Let her keep her stubbornness.

Since Hui Niang left, Yu Tingwan has been cooking for her. The young lady isn't a great cook and can't make anything fancy, but the food is still edible.

Seeing that he had taken the medicine, Yu Tingwan fetched a basket and then a wheelchair from the corner, and pushed Wei Zhao out the door.

As I passed by the neighbor's house, the door was open, and Zhao's wife was sweeping the yard.

Hearing the noise, she looked up. She wasn't surprised to see Wei Zhao, who was wrapped up tightly in a wheelchair.

"Going out to buy groceries again?"

Zhao Niangzi said sarcastically, "Newlyweds really do have a good relationship; they stick together even when they go out to buy groceries."

Yu Tingwan, not feeling embarrassed at all, nodded seriously.

“Auntie is right, I agree.”

She looked around: "Where's Nannan?"

Madam Zhao then said, "These past few days, fewer people have come to Ze County to file complaints, and almost everyone who needed to register has done so. The post station isn't as busy either. Your Uncle Zhao is inevitably free. Nannan was clamoring to go out, so I took her for a walk."

Knowing that the Wei family had also registered, she revealed, "The dignitaries from the capital will arrive today. The prison is currently surrounded by three or four layers of people. They are all eager for justice."

Yu Tingwan understood the situation, thanked him, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then pushed Wei Zhao to continue walking forward.

The alley was deep and narrow, with four families living there. The Zhao family and the Wei family were close to each other at the back, while Yu Tingwan had never interacted with the two families at the front, which were closer to the street.

When I pass by, both houses are usually closed.

She had specifically inquired about it.

Wang Yazi, who sold her the house, didn't dare to hide anything.

The first family was surnamed Liu. They ran several tea shops and did small business. They usually lived in the shops and only came back for a few days a month.

The second family moved out not long after they moved in.

However, it's not currently idle; it was bought by a pair of brothers who work long hours. Wang Yazi doesn't know the specifics.

Zhao Niangzi suddenly remembered something and chased after them.

"Wait a minute, maid."

Yu Tingwan stopped in her tracks.

Zhao Niangzi hurried forward and looked around: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. The Liu family in our alley is moving back tomorrow."

Yu Tingwan asked, "Does Auntie think that since we'll be seeing each other all the time, I should go back and say hello?"

"Don't!"

Zhao Niangzi hurriedly said, "You should be careful."

"Don't be fooled by the Liu family's successful business; it's actually Liu's daughter who's in charge. She's incredibly assertive, and everyone in the Liu family listens to her. But she's also very picky, always finding fault with everyone and looking down on the men introduced by matchmakers. She's remained unmarried for a long time and has become an old maid."

"What if someone takes a fancy to your man? It's better to avoid trouble. From now on, you'd better cover his face when you go out." Wei Zhao didn't react.

Yu Tingwan waved her hand after hearing this: "I thought it was something serious."

"Don't worry, Auntie."

Putting aside his status, given Wei Zhao's appearance, and the fact that the Liu family woman is so picky, how could she possibly be interested in him?

Even if they really do take a liking to him, it won't be Wei Zhao who suffers.

Zhao Niangzi walked back in a daze.

Yu Tingwan didn't take Liu's daughter seriously at all, and said to Wei Zhao, "The people in that alley ahead have been making a lot of noise since they lost their rice jars and money. Fortunately, it's quiet here. The Zhao family next door is easy to get along with, and although we don't interact with the people in front, there's nothing wrong with them either."

"I wonder who those two brothers are."

Wei Zhao: "Want to know?"

Yu Tingwan: "Huh?"

Wei Zhao: "My people."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Wei Zhao: "You've seen him too, he's the one who made the hidden weapon for you before."

Yu Tingwan was about to cover his mouth.

Wei Zhao said calmly, "I sent them all out on errands. Among them were those who were hiding in the shadows and escorting Wei's parents away from Ze County."

Yu Tingwan's hand fell into mid-air.

She was talking about it not long ago.

"The two elders should have arrived by now, but I wonder what the situation is. Before we set off, I told them to send a message, no matter how difficult it was. Why haven't we heard anything yet?"

"I should have gone too, so that Mom could have stayed home and looked after you."

[“Father is sometimes too bound by rules and filial piety; otherwise, after what happened to Xiao Niang, Wei Shen…”]

She quickly changed her tune.

"Your matter isn't just a simple division of assets; it should be a complete and permanent severing of ties."

"If I were the father, no one would be happy if I didn't. Since this conflict has arisen, Old Madam Wei can't use the issue of childbirth to control me. I've already completely broken ties with the eldest son's side. No one's opinion matters."

"When it comes to life, you sometimes have to be ruthless and shameless. I can do that, but I'm afraid my aunt and uncle, and my parents, can't."

Now that Wei Zhao said he had sent someone, the girl was completely relieved.

The streets were as bustling as ever.

Yu Tingwan went straight to the butcher shop.

The people in the county are better off than those in the countryside, and when they crave meat, they always make sure to get some every month to treat themselves.

When it was Yu Tingwan's turn, there wasn't much pork left.

The best pork belly is sold out.

However, two bone fragments remained.

This stuff has no meat, nobody will buy it.

Last time, Hui Niang stewed the pork bones for too long, and the soup turned milky white. It was incredibly delicious, and the bone marrow inside was the essence of the soup.

Yu Tingwan took a liking to it.

"I'll take all the pork bones, please chop them for me."

The butcher's wife was unkempt, with bulging muscles, and she held a sharp cleaver, chopping away at the cutting board with a series of thuds.

Yu Tingwan paid the money, put the bone in her basket, and walked away.

"Husband, is there anything you would like to eat?"

Wei Zhao's tone was indifferent.

“You just watched that butcher four times.”

Yu Tingwan: "Huh?"

Yu Tingwan: "Don't you think he's very handsome, my husband?"
