The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 163 He's honest, and... kind of good-looking.

The streets are bustling and lively; there are many people buying groceries right now.

As Yu Tingwan pushed Wei Zhao to the alley entrance, they bumped into the Wei family couple, who looked travel-worn.

"Father, mother."

Seeing that the two of them were both alright, Hui Niang felt relieved, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Yu Tingwan abandoned Wei Zhao and ran towards her, affectionately taking her arm: "You're finally back."

This trip will take quite a while.

Wei Zhao:......

Hui Niang touched the girl's hand.

I thought she must be exhausted from managing the household all by herself.

But after applying the ointment for so many days, the girl's hands were visibly softer.

Hui Niang thought to herself that Yu Tingwan must be working hard and must have lost weight.

The girl looked great; her face had gotten fuller.

Hui Niang looked into her eyes with loving eyes: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Ah Lang."

Yu Tingwan nodded.

"He is indeed a troublemaker."

Wei Zhao:......

laugh.

As the family walked inside, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very affectionate, while Wei Shouzhong pushed Wei Zhao up.

Wei Shouzhong: "Ah Lang looks to be in good health."

“When I returned to the village this time, Uncle Wei asked about you, which shows that he was also worried about you.”

Wei Zhao: "Hmm."

Yu Tingwan felt as if she had overlooked something, and after walking a distance, she finally remembered.

Where are the cows at home?

Hui Niang sighed: "On the way to the countryside, it slipped and fell, and then it just collapsed and wouldn't get up."

Dead cows are all sold for meat.

But Hui Niang was reluctant to part with him.

After all, I've been with them for a while now.

She and Wei Shouzhong found an open space and buried the cow there.

Yu Tingwan still cared.

But what she cared about more was...

"Then, Mother, are you and Father alright?"

Let's not fall together.

Hui Niang: "It's nothing, just a minor scrape."

"Fortunately, we met a benefactor who, upon learning that we were going to Zhao Family Village, gave us a ride along the way."

"I only found out when I asked him on the way that he was from our alley. He felt we were destined to meet, so he was exceptionally hospitable. He was the one who helped your uncle's family with their affairs."

"By the way, your father and I came back with him. We only parted ways when we entered the county. He seemed to be in a hurry, so I was afraid he had delayed his business these past few days."

"We should pay them a visit later."

Yu Tingwan: ...

I know who it is.

"Yo."

"Wan Niang, are your in-laws back?"

Zhao Niangzi carried her daughter out and was delighted to see the family of four.

"No wonder your mother-in-law usually dotes on you. They don't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all; they look more like mother and daughter."

Then look at Wei Shen and his son Wei Shouzhong standing to the side.

They didn't talk much.

It's like we're not very familiar with each other.

To be more precise, it's like...

Wei Shen accompanied his young wife as they welcomed his parents-in-law.

Yu Tingwan asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Auntie?"

"Go to the academy and bring your uncle his meal."

"When he gets busy, he doesn't care about anything else."

Zhao Niangzi left in a hurry.

As Hui Niang watched her retreating figure, she couldn't help but think of her nephew.

I wonder if I could trouble Master Zhao to see if A-Yu could get into the county academy.

Can……

The students in the county are all too talented.

Ah Yu is probably not able to keep up.

After returning home, Yu Tingwan poured hot water for her parents to warm them up. "What exactly happened on Uncle's side?"

Wei Shouzhong and Huiniang looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Tingwan: "How is my cousin?"

Wei Shouzhong: "You haven't met A Yu before, have you?"

“When you and Alang got married, we held a celebration, but he didn’t come.”

Over the years, Zhao Yu has visited Xilin Village several times.

However, he spent less time at home than the academy director, and he visited Xilin Village very infrequently.

Yu Tingwan was so busy at the Hu family's house that she didn't have time to rest, so naturally she didn't run into them.

Yu Tingwan: "I've never seen it before."

Wei Shouzhong: "Your cousin, he's an honest man, and..."

He was a little speechless.

Hui Niang: "Let me explain."

She looked troubled: "Ayu is quite good-looking."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

What the hell? ?

Wei Zhao, who had been listless, raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

Hui Niang sighed: "Although he didn't do well in his studies, he was still the object of many girls' affections. And now, trouble has struck."

“The youngest daughter of the village head of Sandun Village has taken a liking to Ayu, and people have been trying to arrange a marriage for her for many years.”

"Your aunt didn't agree."

After all, not all village heads are good.

The village head of Sandun Village is not very reasonable.

His daughter was also spoiled and had a terrible temper. She cried and made a scene, insisting on marrying Zhao Yu.

Would the Yu family agree?
She wouldn't dare to climb such a high branch.

The villagers of Sandun were furious and loudly scolded Yu for being ungrateful.

Ms. Yu did not retaliate, but instead apologized politely.

—Yes, yes, the main problem is that A-Yu doesn't have much ability yet, and his family's financial situation isn't good. It's really not good to hold your daughter back.

It's not that she couldn't win the argument.

After all, she came from Sandun Village, and she couldn't let her family members be treated unfairly.

Hui Niang: "All these years have been peaceful. That girl later got married again. Who would have thought she would be plotted against?"

“Ayu’s grandmother, who is also your maternal aunt’s mother, sprained her ankle before. The child had just returned from the academy and was worried after hearing the news, so he went to Sandun Village to check on her.”

"It just so happened that he was traveling with that girl's older brother. Perhaps he was too tired, because A-Yu fainted halfway through the journey. Someone rescued him."

"It had been an hour by the time your aunt's family arrived after hearing the news, and A-Yu was still at their house, not awake."

Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched as soon as she heard this.

"An hour?"

"Did they not inform us?"

"Since they see that my cousin is unconscious, they should take him to my aunt's house."

Yu Tingwan didn't believe there wasn't some scheming involved.

Hui Niang gets angry when she talks about this.

"I thought they meant well."

"It was indeed strange at the time, but since A-Yu was fine and nothing was wrong, I didn't think much of it."

"Who would have thought that a month later they would come looking for your uncle and aunt? They actually accused A-Yu of getting their youngest daughter pregnant. Don't even think about denying it."

"They even threatened that if Yu didn't marry her, they would make a scene at the academy and block him there every day. They would make him lose face, become a laughingstock, and never be able to pursue an official career."

Those people are capable of doing it.

How could the Yu family be threatened?

My son is well-versed in classical Chinese literature and values ​​etiquette; he has never argued with anyone.

After much deliberation, Ms. Yu had no choice but to grit her teeth and passively accept the withdrawal from school, remaining stubbornly opposed to any coercion or tactic, and thus locked in a stalemate with the other side.

As she spoke, Hui Niang added a sentence.

“At that time, Alang had not yet returned to Xilin Village.”

That was said very tactfully.

It was clear that Wei Zhao hadn't rolled down the mountain from Xilin Village yet, and had been picked up by Hui Niang.

Hui Niang: "Your aunt inquired around and found out that the girl was not very proper, and the marriage was already off."

"Now that she's pregnant, she's trying to cling to A-Yu. How can she accept that?"

My fainting spell was inextricably linked to them.

“But A-Yu stayed at their house for so long, which was witnessed by everyone in the village. They said that your cousin was lying on the youngest daughter's bed that day, and that the youngest daughter was taking care of him. They also said that we had ruined their girl, and that we couldn't explain ourselves.”

"He's the village head, and he's incredibly domineering. He just wanted your cousin to suffer in silence. Seeing that your uncle and aunt wouldn't listen to reason and things had been deadlocked for a long time, he completely lost his patience and led a group of people to attack Zhao Family Village, where he tied up your cousin and took him away."

Wei: Luckily, I didn't roll down the mountain in Sandun Village and was picked up by this group of people.

Yu: My husband, don't worry, you are safe.
