The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 210: It's my incompetence that I didn't give enough.

Hui Niang bought a lot of vegetables and also brought back some wine.

Upon learning that they were going to eat next door, Zhao Niangzi readily agreed. She brought her daughter over, put the child down next to Zhao Fuzi, and ran to the kitchen to help. She was all smiles, as if it were New Year's Day. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she called out to Hui Niang.

"Big sister, let me help you wash the vegetables, and let me learn some cooking skills in the process."

"Old Zhao and I have very few relatives we are willing to associate with. To be honest, those people are all snobs. When Old Zhao was down on his luck, they were all afraid of being ripped off by him. After he passed the imperial examination and became a teacher at the academy, they all rushed to ask for favors."

"I never expected that we would be so destined for each other. No wonder I liked Wan Niang the moment I saw her."

Hui Niang was also happy.

"Who says it isn't?"

She felt it would be better if more people cared for her stepmother.

This child has already suffered a lot, but thankfully, his suffering has finally come to an end.

The little girl outside had no idea why her family was celebrating like it was Chinese New Year, but she was happiest to be able to come to the Wei family's house for a meal!
She was being held in Yu Tingwan's arms, and she felt that Aunt Wan smelled wonderful.

"Aunt."

"Ah."

"What are you going to eat later?"

Yu Tingwan: "How about we have stewed chicken?"

The unease and resistance in her eyes had long since vanished. Master Sun's unintentional remark about the vast difference between heaven and earth seemed to have left little impact on her.

After all, the Master was right.

Nannan licked her lips: "Okay!"

Yu Tingwan picked up some walnuts from the stone table and asked, looking down, "Want some first?"

Nannan shook her head.

"That's perfect, peel one for me."

Nannan: ? ? ?
Yu Tingwan: "I really want to eat it."

Then my arm was hit again.

Master Sun scolded, "How could you ask a little kid to peel walnuts for you? How can you have the nerve to say that?

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment.

"I'm sorry."

She's shameless anyway.

“If you, Master, can’t stand it, you can peel it for me.”

Yu Tingwan spoke softly and was very easy to talk to: "I'm not picky."

Master Sun angrily pointed at Wei Zhao: "Why didn't you let him come?"

Yu Tingwan thought it made sense and was about to deliver the walnuts.

next moment.

"and many more."

Master Sun said loudly, "Are his hands the kind of hands that peel walnuts?"

What, is it inlaid with gold or something?
The walnut shells were thin; Master Sun tapped them lightly on the stone table, and a crack appeared. He then placed the walnut in Yu Tingwan's hand and sent her away.

"Go away, go away, seeing you annoys me."

Yu Tingwan stuffed walnut kernels into her mouth, preparing to go back inside to open the windows for ventilation and then check if the medicine was ready.

But no sooner had she entered the room than Wei Zhao followed her in, and seeing her expression, he feared she was heartbroken.

But he was clearly overthinking it.

Yu Tingwan: "Aren't you going to close the door?"

Wei Zhao: "...Why are you closing the door?"

Yu Tingwan: "In broad daylight, this is indecent."

Wei Zhao:......

He laughed angrily.

"Did I lay a hand on you?"

Yu Tingwan: "So, do you want to?"

Wei Zhao remained silent.

He chuckled and said, "I want to."

There are only more things I want to do.

Yu Tingwan didn't believe his nonsense.

With a creak, the window was opened.

The light shone on Yu Tingwan's face, which was already fair, making her look even more like a finely carved piece of jade, radiating a luminous glow.

The girl is rational and calm, and never engages in internal conflict.

She turned her head and smiled at Wei Zhao.

"It's nothing, I don't really care."

"Years ago, when I first entered Xilin Village, a wandering Taoist priest passed by and left me with a message."

Wei Zhao approached: "What did you say?"

"Gains and losses are like clouds, the mind has no fixed place; all things in the world are governed by cause and effect."

"Grand Tutor Gu is good to his daughter, but not to me."

"My father picked me up and loved me dearly." Is blood relation really that important?

Wouldn't she and Yu's father have an even stronger father-daughter bond?

This is cause and effect.

People should try to be more open-minded.

Putting everything else aside, she's doing quite well right now.

Hello, Master, and hello Aunt Li and my mother-in-law from the clothing shop.

Many people are thinking about her.

The only headache now is the fire, and also her relationship with Wei Zhao...

People should be content.

Her true identity was destined to be exposed eventually; sooner or later it would come to light.

Yu Tingwan met Wei Zhao's dark eyes.

"I never dared to dream of recognizing my identity."

"I'm afraid even the Gu family wouldn't agree."

Wei Zhao raised his hand and used a handkerchief to wipe the girl's soft cheek.

Just now, Nannan came over and kissed Yu Tingwan.

He has never kissed anyone.

It's clear that the neighbors didn't raise their child well.

He asked in a low voice, "Why do you say that?"

Yu Tingwan: "I've been carefree and unruly since childhood. The Gu family is a prominent and prestigious family with many rules, and they value their reputation above all else. Even if they feel guilty towards me, I'm afraid they wouldn't want someone from a poor place to come..."

She thought for a moment, not forgetting to praise herself a little.

"A beautiful daughter in vain."

Wei Zhao couldn't laugh.

Yu Tingwan said in a flat tone: "After all, it makes people laugh."

Human nature is the most vulnerable to test, and she has witnessed this firsthand with profound pain.

"They are willing to acknowledge me. As time goes by, the distance between us grows, and the guilt fades."

"The Gu family's daughter was raised with great care, and she is probably proficient in poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. What am I good at? They can't take me out in public. I'm afraid they will set rules for me, think I'm uncouth, and keep me under strict control."

At this point, the girl couldn't help but praise herself again.

"I'm smart and I can learn anything quickly. But I can't bring myself to learn those things just to please or ingratiate myself."

She only wanted to be Yu Jiayao.

"It's clear that the Gu family's daughter is extremely pampered. The entire Gu family has doted on her for so many years. Humans aren't plants or trees; how could they be without feelings?"

"How could they bear to send away the fake one?"

She smiled, her tone firm.

"Furthermore, I'm a rather domineering person."

"After all, I was also loved by my parents, and I was once a spoiled, arrogant, and unreasonable girl."

"If you're going to treat me well, you have to give me the whole lot. If you give me even a little less, I won't care."

What's more...

She's no longer the child who would run to her parents for every little thing she did, nor would she throw a tantrum over a piece of candy.

The Gu family is too distant for her.

There are quite a few people who are good to Yu Tingwan these days.

Enough is enough.

She said to Wei Zhao, "I have never been a greedy person."

She is intelligent, but sometimes too insightful, which makes her overly concerned with gains and losses and unwilling to suffer losses.

The girl didn't have many hopes for her biological parents. If the outcome were truly bad, she wouldn't be so heartbroken.

She always stayed inside her protective shell.

As his fingertips gently kneaded the back of her neck, Yu Tingwan felt a tickle and was about to dodge when he pulled her closer.

"you can."

Wei Zhao looked down at her and murmured, "Regardless of anything else, you can do whatever you want with me."

"If you're unhappy, throw a tantrum; if you're happy, laugh. Don't worry about anyone else's feelings or overthink things."

The girl was not without support.

"If I were to use the word 'insatiable' to describe you, I wouldn't think it's a bad word."

Wei Zhao said gently, "That can only be because of me."

Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment.

What's the reason?

Wei Zhao: "It must be because I'm incompetent; I haven't given enough."

Yu Tingwan: ...

You love it so much.

No wonder he has a wife!
