The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 155 Who Suffers When Faces Are Broken Off?
Everyone present looked solemn.

The other women were intimidated. Seeing that the situation was not going to end well, and worried that the Wei family had really offended the scholar, they were about to come over to persuade them when Hui Niang, who had the best temper, completely lost her patience.

She was so angry that her fingertips were trembling.

"Have you said enough?"

"What do you mean, send her back? My stepmother is a person, not an object!"

Hui Niang took a deep breath, her eyes reddening.

She felt sorry for her stepmother.

"Back then, that child's hands were chapped and oozing pus, and his shoes were soaked, yet he went up the mountain to collect firewood every day. Where are you Hu family members now?"

"Don't say that the heavy snow has blocked the roads and they can't come back! There's clearly enough firewood at home to get through the winter, but your mother won't let her use it."

"Her clothes don't fit properly, and they're not even lined with warm cotton. It's cold, and she has to get up early and work late to poke holes in the frozen river to wash clothes. How can she stand that? I just don't understand, how can your father have the nerve to say he loves this niece?"

"Don't tell me your father is rarely home and can't take care of her. The Hu family isn't without people, are they all blind? How old is your stepmother? How much suffering has she endured in the Hu family? Who gives you, her cousin, the right to come here and think you can stand up for her?"

Hu Yaozu never expected that he would be scolded by Hui Niang.

That's true. Rural women are often unreasonable and domineering.

His cold gaze swept over Hui Niang and landed on Zhao Yu.

“Zhao Yu, I have influence with the Master. If you want to return to the academy, I can help you.”

"If things really come to a head, I won't be the one who suffers."

He was just about to ask Zhao Yu to help persuade the Wei family not to act recklessly when he was shoved hard.

It is the Yu family.

Compared to Hui Niang, she was much less civilized.

Yu was a farmer who did farm work, and she was quite strong.

Although Hu Yaozu was a man, he was unable to carry heavy loads. Caught off guard by Yu's actions, he immediately staggered back a few steps.

He was in a very sorry state.

"Get lost! Who are you threatening?"

Madam Yu launched into a tirade: "What kind of person are you! A scholar, indeed!"

"What kind of teacher's prized student? Bah! If I were Teacher Chu, I would want to bang my head against a wall to teach you to this extent."

How could the Yu family not know that Master Chu was a flawed person?

There are only a handful of teachers, and it's a stroke of luck to have any accepted. It's not up to these country folk to be picky.

She had planned everything carefully: to adopt a humble attitude when visiting Master Chu, whether it was offering money or gifts. But now…

Yu gave up on the idea.

"You're good at reading, but you've misunderstood it. It's clear that Master Chu didn't even teach you the most basic principles. That's all you've got."

"Teaching is for nurturing people! What good is it if a person is morally corrupt, no matter how learned or successful they are? They are still a scoundrel."

"I need to think carefully about whether it's worth going back to this academy."

Hu Yaozu clenched his fists tighter and tighter.

This Lady Yu was indeed as shrewish as her mother had described.

Zhao Yu was of poor character, and the teacher already looked down on him, so how could he possibly accept him?

At this moment, Madam Yu is only concerned with venting her anger. If she goes back to the academy and begs for help, he will absolutely not help her in the slightest.

Yu shielded Hui Niang behind her and scolded Hu Yaozu.

"My maid's surname is Yu, not Hu! She's now a member of the Wei family, what does she have to do with you!"

“My sister is a good mother-in-law; she treats her like her own daughter. The stepmother is in charge of the family now. She's doing just fine in the Wei family, so why are you rushing to defend her?”

"If you truly cared about her, why would you encourage a young couple to divorce? What are you thinking? If they divorce, where will she go? How will she survive?"

"Coming to someone else's doorstep and saying such annoying things, are you thinking my sister and brother-in-law are too soft-hearted and easy to bully?"

Hu Yaozu's eyes were deep, but his aura was weak and his intimidating presence was insufficient: "It seems that reasoning with him is ineffective."

"If Wei Shen is a good match, I will not hesitate to speak up, but is he?"

"I'm only here to save face for you this time. What advantage will you have when my father comes next time?"

Wei Shouzhong, who had remained silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"If your family has any complaints about this matter, it should be your father who comes to me."

Shunzi, who was engrossed in watching the show: ...

Why has your momentum waned?

Shunzi, looking fierce, said, "Did you hear that? My uncle told you to go somewhere cool and stay away. It's not your place to come here and act tough, and don't even think about acting like an elder. You only know a few words, but you've been flattered so much that you've forgotten your own worth." "Even Lord Yang Weiwen, who was a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations, doesn't put on airs like you."

The crowd fell into dead silence.

Hu Yaozu was so angry he almost fainted.

Wei Shouzhong continued, "So what if your father comes? Does our Wei family fear him? Even if he comes knocking on our door, if my stepmother doesn't acknowledge this uncle, our Wei family will not acknowledge your Hu family as in-laws."

"Since we're not in-laws, there's no need to save face for you anymore."

"In the end, we're the ones who aren't afraid of making a big fuss. If you're not afraid of making a fuss, go back and ask your father if he dares to make a fuss."

"Why don't you go back and ask around about what your family did years ago, and see if your parents have the face to talk about it?"

After saying that, he said to Hui Niang.

"let's go."

Hu Dalang ran over at this time.

He had just heard people returning to the village say that they saw Erlang heading towards Zhao Family Village, and he knew something was wrong.

But he was too late.

Hu Dalang suddenly felt everything go black.

He quickly apologized.

“Uncle and Aunt, Erlang has always valued Wanniang. He couldn’t accept this for a while and said some angry words. He was confused and so please don’t hold it against him.”

Hu Yaozu knew he had acted impulsively.

Can……

But he barely said a few words!
They have been suppressed.

Thinking about this made him feel very frustrated.

His emotions were usually stable, but he couldn't control himself whenever Yu Tingwan was involved.

We can't just point at the Wei and Zhao families and curse them one by one.

This is utterly disgraceful to culture.

Wei Shouzhong did not stop walking.

Yu sneered, "Oh, so there's actually someone sensible in your family."

Hu Dalang gave a wry smile.

What a wise person!

He was simply afraid that Erlang would offend the Wei family, and that the blame would fall on Wanniang.

If a woman is not treated well after marrying into her husband's family, her life will be difficult.

His wife, Ms. Xu... isn't she a perfect example?

Little Xu suffered, but she endured it. After all, Little Xu was no pushover either.

But seeing his stepmother suffer, Hu Dalang felt terrible.

He did treat his stepmother like a younger sister.

Shunzi, who was used to being rough, spat on the ground at the two Hu brothers and then followed them eagerly: "Uncle, Aunt, we're going the same way, let's go together."

But after walking a few steps, he was still not satisfied.

He turned and quickly walked towards Hu Yaozu.

Do you think that the young couple is not a good match?

Too many things were going wrong, and Hu Yaozu was so angry that he could hardly control his expression.

But before he could utter a single word...

Shunzi grabbed his shirt and lifted him up.

Hu Yaozu was forced to lift both feet off the ground.

Shunzi unexpectedly lifted him high.

He didn't make any harsh statements.

The movements were very swift.

So swiftly that no one had time to react.

Shunzi kicked the man hard, sending him flying.

"Go to hell!"
