The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 164 Forcing People to Enter the Wedding Ceremony

It's not like there's no one in Zhao Family Village! But everyone in Sandun Village is carrying a knife and a stick, and their appearance is intimidating.

Who dares to offend?

Yu thought that Zhao Yu was no longer studying at the academy, and the family had no more weaknesses or worries, so she let the Zhao family do whatever they wanted.

She wouldn't let her son be a cheap father.

The Zhao family can delay, but the youngest daughter's pregnancy cannot.

A group of people came to their door and tried to take them away.

Hui Niang: "Some people have blood on their hands."

She seemed to realize something, and her gaze towards Yu Tingwan flickered with a sorrow that others couldn't understand.

Hui Niang's voice was low as she patted the girl's hand reassuringly.

"During the famine, too many people died because there was no relief grain. The government became a mere formality, and the people ate tree bark and clay. In order to survive, humanity could not withstand the test."

The law has become a mere formality, and cannibalism is not uncommon.

Everywhere there are corpses.

Not to mention the burning, killing, and looting.

“A group of refugees poured into Sandun Village.”

They were all emaciated, but their eyes were as fierce as wolves.

“The villagers are hostile to outsiders. But this group of refugees, who are fierce and ruthless, steal and rob grain outside, and occasionally help the villagers.”

This isn't aid; it's clearly saving lives.

Is he a thief?

At least not in the eyes of the villagers of Sandun Village who were on the verge of starvation.

"The villagers benefited and were moved to tears of gratitude."

"The refugees were accepted, settled down completely, and their younger generations married into the village, thus fully integrating. In just a few years, by winning people's hearts, they even promoted one of their own to the position of village head."

These people have a terrible reputation outside the village, but they are extremely well-regarded in Sandun Village. They have done a lot of good work for the village.

Hui Niang: "Seeing that they couldn't win, and that the village head of Zhao Family Village was also willing to protect A Yu, I wanted to sit down and have a proper talk with them."

Yu Tingwan: "And then?"

Hui Niang: "I was hit."

The head of Zhao Family Village was beaten.

Who would believe it if I told them?

But what they said was perfectly reasonable and well-founded.

—Everyone knows the village head! What are you trying to prove by putting on airs in front of me!
When we saw him faint, our kind-hearted family saved him. But Zhao Yu took advantage of our inattention and did that thing to my youngest daughter in her room. The Zhao family denies it, so how could we not come knocking on their door? Do they really think they can just keep quiet?
"We didn't mind that the Zhao family was poor! What does Zhao Yu have that makes me go to such lengths to make him my son-in-law, besides his good looks? He's studied for so many years and still hasn't accomplished anything."

"Irresponsible? What gives him the right to be irresponsible?"

"They already have a child. We originally wanted to get the young couple to get married amicably, but their attitude was bad from the start! What did they mean by this Zhao family? No wonder we made a scene!"

"You helped them, so you deserved to be beaten."

His words were so compelling that everyone in Zhao Family Village began to believe him.

Zhao Yu must have really done something to that girl.

Some people began to waver and started to persuade Yu.

"If you really bully someone, you can't do this. It's ruining the reputation of our Zhao Family Village. The boys of Zhao Family Village will get married in the future too."

Thinking about this, Hui Niang felt very angry.

With those people making such a fuss, it seemed as if A-Yu had really done something heinous.

"Your aunt was furious. She'd never seen anyone like that before..."

She struggled to find the right words.

Yu Tingwan helped.

The girl's voice was crisp and clear: "She acted like a prostitute but still wanted to maintain a virtuous image."

They committed evil deeds and then pretended to be victims, trying to deceive everyone.

Wei Zhao:......

Hmm, very sharp. Hui Niang: "After A Yu was taken away, he was locked in the woodshed. Your uncle and aunt couldn't stop him, so they could only chase after him to Sandun Village."

But they won't let people out there.

He put on a smiling face again and even called Zhao Yongyu his in-laws.

Zhao Yong and Yu Shi never considered reporting it to the authorities, as they were still traumatized by it.

Although the officials of the four cities were imprisoned at the time, many people went to Ze County to register.

However, at that time, He Xuran and his group had not yet come to take charge of Ze County.

Yu really doesn't believe that those mountains of wrongful convictions will be thoroughly investigated.

Moreover, she had heard that someone had mentioned the disaster relief grain. The possibility of officials protecting each other was even more unlikely.

Indeed, if Wei Zhao hadn't intervened, He Xuran probably wouldn't have been able to come.

If it were any other official, they would only try to smooth things over.

When He Xuran arrived, he rid the people of this scourge.

But the news traveled slowly and hadn't reached the countryside yet.

"The matter escalated so much that villagers from Zhao Village, Sandun Village, and several surrounding villages surrounded the village head's house, making it impossible for anyone to pass through."

Hui Niang: "Your aunt also saw that girl. She didn't know until she saw her, and she immediately noticed something fishy."

Yu immediately took the youngest girl's hand.

"Look, everyone."

"Don't say that the incident was innocent; my Yu fainted and was unconscious. Even if something really happened, it shouldn't have caused this girl to be slightly pregnant in just a few months."

"What is this if not a frame-up? My Yu may not be as good as others in academics, but he is honest and loyal. I never thought that kindness would be taken advantage of and that he would be ridden on."

"Go find that wild man who got your youngest daughter pregnant! Why are you ruining my A-Yu's life!"

Everyone started whispering.

Who hasn't had a child?

Even women who have given birth can tell something is wrong with that young woman's belly.

"Let my A-Yu out!"

Yu was known for her fiery temper.

"Is your daughter so desperate for a man that she's practically throwing herself at him?!"

However, Yu still overlooked just how low the bottom line these people were.

If it were a decent girl, she would have been too ashamed to lift her head.

But the youngest girl stood there gracefully.

"Grandma, you're hurting me."

"How can this child not be Zhao Yu's? He can climb into my bed once, so it's not like he can't climb in twice. My mother-in-law has no idea that he and I have been having an affair for a long time."

"Zhao Yu has a mole on his chest, which we noticed when we were making love. Anyone who doubts this can strip him naked and take a look."

"He's supposed to be a student, yet he's refusing to admit his mistake. That won't do."

What can the Yu family do?
My son does have a mole on his body.

Very few people know about this private matter.

But what kind of evidence is that?
But that's how it appears to outsiders.

Hui Niang took a sip of water to moisten her throat: "When your father and I arrived, those people were forcing A Yu to perform the wedding ceremony."

Zhao Yu was a scholar, and his strength was no match for those burly men. He was forced to bow to heaven and earth.

Rules are not strict in the countryside.

But once the ceremony is performed, they are husband and wife.

If you try to shirk your responsibilities later, you'll be ridiculed and never be able to hold your head up high again.

Yu and Zhao Yong were tied up for causing trouble.

"It looks like the couple will be bowing to each other soon."

Hui Niang: "There were people jeering and firecrackers going off in the crowd. No matter what I shouted, it was no use, and I couldn't squeeze in. At that moment, I felt like it was all over, like the sky was falling."

"Fortunately, my benefactor stepped in."
