The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 270 Okay, I'll take you home
Yu Tingwan's eyes were deep as she looked at him coldly: "You're at least human, do something human."

Xiang Si: "What exactly do you want?!"

"I haven't done anything to you. Why are you holding onto this point? What benefits do you want from me?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

What do you have?

Am I really that old?
Xiang Si thought he was right: "We already have a child. If something happens to me, what will happen to her and the child?"

"Is it any of your business?"

Yu Tingwan scoffed: "Ha."

Xiang Si shouted, "No matter what, the child is innocent!"

"My eldest son is not married yet."

"My youngest daughter is only five years old now; she's at an age where she can't be without her parents."

"If you ruin our family, we will be punished."

Xiangjiazi was already impatient.

If it weren't for Yu Tingwan's good looks, he would have already made a move.

"Step aside!"

"We're going back now."

His tone was very harsh.

"It's like my family can't survive without this madwoman. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't even acknowledge her."

"Still feeling sorry for her?"

"My dad is a good man! He took her in, so why should you all criticize him?"

Yu Tingwan only asked, "Was she sober at one point?"

Xiangjiazi: "None of your business."

Yu Tingwan: "You're sober now that you don't want to acknowledge me, right?"

She smiled: "Do you know why?"

"She's crazy..."

Yu Tingwan interrupted: "To her, your existence and that of your sister are nothing but disgust and shame."

"You and your sister were born because that man took advantage of her insanity, violating her innocence and forcing her to give birth. You are nothing more than the child of an enemy."

"Your father isn't a good person, and you are too?"

Her tone was gentle, but she didn't say anything.

"She's sixteen already, not a child anymore. How dare this brat, who doesn't even know the gratitude of being born and raised, complain about her?"

"What do you mean, 'pick up'?"

"If you find a silver ingot on the road and return it to its owner, that's picking it up. But if you put it in your pocket and keep it for yourself, that's no different from stealing."

Besides, a woman is a living, breathing person, not an object.

“I don’t care how old you are, or how old your sister is. I can’t stand this nonsense about children being innocent.”

How can we let the sins committed by Xiang Si be glossed over with just these four words?

Yu Tingwan: "Your existence is not innocent."

"If I were you, I would be too ashamed to face anyone."

Xiangjiazi had never been treated like this before, nor had he ever heard such words.

He rolled up his sleeves: "Don't push your luck!"

He dared not hit anyone.

After all, Wei Zhao, who stood silently behind Yu Tingwan, was tall and imposing.

He inherited his father's physique and appearance.

It's just a bluff.

It's clear that he knew Yu Tingwan's words were sharp, but not wrong.

If things really escalate, the Xiang family won't benefit either.

But as a beneficiary, he felt from the bottom of his heart that his mother's experiences and misfortunes were not worth mentioning at all.

Xiangjiazi couldn't hide his emotions on his face.

Those around him could tell he was bluffing.

Xiang Si figured it out.

Wei Zhao also noticed it.

Yu Tingwan is the same.

But she never plays by the rules.

"Husband."

Yu Tingwan turned her head: "He's going to hit me."

"I'm so scared."

Wei Zhao couldn't hear the fear.

Instead, I heard a hint of excitement in Yu Tingwan's voice.

Wei Zhao:......

"How about we kill him?"

Wei Zhao said in a light tone, "It doesn't matter if someone who shouldn't have been born disappears."

Everyone:? ? ?
They thought Wei Zhao was just talking.

Little did they know that the person in front of them had already killed countless people.

Xiang Si: "You!"

He was furious and didn't care about anything else. He beat Xiangjiazi to the punch.

But the person hadn't even gotten close to Wei Zhao yet.

No one could figure out how Wei Zhao made his move.

Xiang Si then flew out.

It slammed heavily against the door.

There was a loud bang.

At the same time, there was a cracking sound of bones breaking.

Then came a piercing wail.

"father!"

Xiangjiazi was so frightened that he ran over to help the person up.

But he hesitated to move his hand halfway through.

"Dad, are you alright?"

He was completely disoriented, and could only glare furiously at Wei Zhao, wanting to tear him apart. "If anything happens to my father..."

Yu Tingwan interrupted.

"What's wrong with your father? He can't win an argument, and he's not in the right, so he's going to hit us?"

The Zhou family's daughter-in-law was dumbfounded.

"This, this, this..."

That would probably land them in jail.

She looked at Xiang Si, then at Wei Zhao.

"This……"

Yu Tingwan said slowly and deliberately: "Self-defense."

Wei Zhao: "That's right."

Zhou's daughter-in-law: "But his bones..."

Yu Tingwan: "My husband didn't use any force."

"He's too fragile."

Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Indeed, you can't blame it on me."

Yu Tingwan looked at the rickety door and asked, "Whose house is that?"

Zhou's daughter-in-law: "...My family."

Yu Tingwan: "This door is probably unusable; it needs to be replaced."

The door was broken, and Zhou's wife was furious!

Yu Tingwan: "The Xiang family did this, they will definitely have to pay for it."

"After all, we're only separated by one street, and we'll see each other all the time."

This sounds familiar.

Zhou's daughter-in-law choked

Yu Tingwan: "Oh, I almost forgot."

"He's going to jail soon, I won't be able to see him."

"Once I'm in jail, I might die, and I'll never see him again."

Everyone:...

They tried their best to digest it.

Only the woman wearing Yu Tingwan's outer garment had empty eyes.

I wasn't worried about Xiang Si.

They paid no attention to Xiangjiazi.

There wasn't even any relief... not even the joy of liberation.

She just kept repeating it over and over again.

"go home."

"child."

"go home."

Just then, the girl's warm hand grasped her tightly.

The girl had a soft voice.

"Okay, let's take you home."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It is very late at night.

Yu Tingwan came out of the next room and gently closed the door.

Wei Zhao stood in the courtyard.

"Is she asleep?"

Yu Tingwan: "I fed her some porridge and she fell asleep."

She stepped closer and finally stopped in front of him.

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath.

"Go ahead."

Wei Zhao sighed, "You already know what's going on."

Yu Tingwan remained silent.

The child the woman was talking about was... her.

Wei Zhao: "According to the law, Xiang Si will only serve three years in prison."

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

Three years.

It ruined the woman's life.

It is clear that men and women are not equal.

Wei Zhao said calmly, "I regret that the law is particularly biased towards men."

"The government and the people are completely rotten; I cannot shake them now."

"but……"

Wei Zhao: "How do you want him to die inside?"

"But it's something I can do."

"As for his two children..."

Yu Tingwan said, "Xiang's son will be a menace sooner or later. Husband, you can decide what to do."

"As for that daughter?"

Yu Tingwan heard herself say coldly, "It's a good thing that they're still too young to remember things and don't know about the grudges of the previous generation. Send them to Cixin Hall."

Cixintang is a children's shelter that has been established by the private sector in recent years.

Yu Tingwan: "Everyone has their own destiny. What happens next is up to her."

"There's no need to send anyone to keep an eye on things; there won't be any further contact."

Yu Tingwan stood beside him, looking up at the sky.

The absence of stars only adds to the loneliness.

Wei Zhao's voice came through: "I investigated that matter back then, but too many years have passed. Grand Tutor Gu also did not want outsiders to keep talking about his family's affairs, so it was not easy to investigate."

He didn't know how Yu Tingwan got lost.

But I know a little bit.

"When the Gu family returned to the capital, Madam Gu was missing one of her maids."

Back to Beijing
