The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 81 Don't threaten me, I'm so scared!
As she watched the people around her cover their mouths and noses and distance themselves from her in disgust, Granny Fan trembled all over.

"you!"

Yu Tingwan said slowly, "Don't threaten me, I'm so scared."

How can I tell you're scared!

I see you're incredibly bold!

I only fell once!!!
Many people in the village curse Granny Fan, but no one has ever spoken so openly and slanderously like Yu Tingwan!
Granny Fan felt like tearing her apart.

Could Aunt Wu have seen Yu Tingwan being bullied?
"What are you pointing at! You ungrateful old hag, do you think your stepmother is wrong?"

"You wanted to fall into the latrine yourself, she didn't push you, so how can you take it out on her?"

"It's hilarious! You're still defending Liu Caiying, little do you know she's already spread the word about your embarrassing incident."

Granny Fan lost her mind.

Yes, she should be the one to criticize Liu Caiying.

Just then, a blue crow flapped its wings and flew over the Zhou family's wall.

The Zhou family's door was adorned with festive New Year couplets, which Liu the matchmaker had commissioned Hu Yaozu to write long ago.

The young scholar's handwriting is better than that of the old scholar from the next village.

Although Yu Tingwan disliked Hu Yaozu, she couldn't openly criticize his calligraphy. However, after seeing Wei Shen's work, the couplets at the Zhou family's door seemed inadequate.

The girl was lost in thought.

Every year during the Spring Festival, when Hu Yaozu returned from the academy, the Hu family courtyard would be crowded with people, all holding red paper and begging him to help write couplets.

At those times, Hu Dazhu couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

Hu Yaozu was good at interpersonal relationships; he would always have Hu Dazhu deliver the first couplet he wrote to the village head's house.

He was not only good at studying, but also knew how to respect the village head; no wonder the village head valued him.

Hu Yaozu didn't come back this year, which caused a lot of complaints in the village.

After all, his handwriting is beautiful, and he doesn't charge money.

Writing implements are expensive, but in order to have a good omen for the New Year, the villagers had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy them from the old scholar in the next village.

One word costs one coin!

Liu, the matchmaker, was lucky. She bumped into Hu Yaozu on his way back last time and, not wanting people to have to queue up at the Hu family's house in the future, asked him to help write it.

Yu Tingwan thought.

Next year, Wei Shen will write the couplets for our house.

The Hu family wants a good reputation, not money.

But she doesn't want to!
Since we're all from the same village, Wei Shen can sell it for a lower price, only half a coin!

The girl was calculating her plans meticulously.

My husband is a bit frail and a bit fussy, but he can tell stories and earn a living by writing calligraphy during the New Year. He can support the whole family!
Wei Shen is just as good!!!
The Zhou family's door was tightly shut at the moment.

Li Lian tried to push, but couldn't budge it; she couldn't just barge in.

She was about to bang on the door when the person arrived and immediately questioned them.

A guilty conscience makes no preparations, and upon seeing this situation, it's impossible for him to be completely unprepared.

"I come!"

In a fit of rage, Granny Fan pushed Li Lian aside.

The other day, when Liu Caiying agreed to help her nephew find a wife, she casually mentioned that the bolt on the front door of her house was broken.

He's trying to take advantage of her.

Her brother is a blacksmith; he can fix things.

But it's not fixed yet!
The Zhou family wouldn't have simply propped the door open with a stick. It wouldn't be able to be pushed open normally, but…

Granny Fan took a few steps back and then suddenly rammed forward.

The door opened, making quite a commotion.

However, this did not disturb the two people inside who were engrossed in their own world.

Half the village was next door, waiting for the hunter to come down the mountain, so some noise was inevitable.

The bed creaked and groaned, as if it were being tortured and about to collapse.

The news reached Li Lian's ears as she was being treated at the hospital.

This was followed by an offensive conversation.

"How am I better than my mother-in-law? Tell me."

That's too much.

“You’re more open-minded than her. She’s a boorish old woman who’s never even worn a red mandarin duck-patterned bodice.” “You’re young.”

"His voice is nicer than hers."

“Her birthmark on her back is ugly, it’s all in patches, like a dense cluster of bumps. You’re different. Your birthmark on your butt looks like a butterfly, that’s what Dad likes best.”

Li Lian's face was as dark as ink. She walked over and kicked open the half-closed door.

‘Bang’ sound.

Her gaze was piercing, fixed intently on the person on the bed.

"what!"

When Liu the matchmaker saw her, her dazed eyes snapped back to reality as if doused with cold water, and she screamed in fright.

Old Zhou was an even bigger coward; at a loss, he turned his head to the side, trembling.

Li Lian didn't care about their disheveled state; her anger had spread throughout her body.

She strode over and yanked back the covers.

It's like lifting the veil of shame.

"you……"

Li Lian's hands were trembling.

"Before I came, I thought it might be a mistake, and I absolutely couldn't use such a thing to frame you."

She's overthinking it!

She angrily rebuked, "The husband is unfaithful and abandons his wife, the wife is shameless and corrupts human ethics! How dare you!"

"Old Zhou! What did your wife ever do to wrong you? She died from overwork! She never enjoyed a single day of happiness after marrying you, and now you still complain about her after she's gone?"

"She and your son are watching from underground!"

"Your father was the most honest man ever! He and your mother never had a single argument, and he was a kind and helpful person in public. How could he have given birth to such a beast as you!"

The villagers also crowded the house to the brim, pointing and whispering about the two naked people on the bed.

"In broad daylight, a father-in-law and daughter-in-law do such a thing. Aren't they afraid of divine retribution?"

"I knew Old Man Zhou was a scumbag, but I never expected him to even sleep with his daughter-in-law."

"See that? The birthmark on her butt really does look like a butterfly."

Each accusation was like a slap in the face, mercilessly striking the two of them.

No matter how skilled the matchmaker Liu was, being caught in bed with another man, she couldn't remain calm. Her face paled, and she yelled, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Granny Fan never cared about what she said, and now she wished she could trample the two of them under her feet.

"Make it clear, do you want us to get out, or do you want your father-in-law to get out?"

Granny Fan: "What am I saying? You were shouting so loudly in the house just now. How can you say such things to someone who is neither a man nor a father-in-law?"

"Look everyone, they've done something shameful and they're still so arrogant, they even want to kick us out."

She spat.

"You two sluts!"

"God's retribution? Hasn't Liu Caiying committed enough evil deeds over the years? Why would she be afraid?"

Granny Fan truly lives up to her reputation as the village's most outspoken woman; she's quite the talker.

Yu Tingwan stood at the door, carrying the stone, and did not go in, afraid that seeing something she shouldn't would make her eyes sick.

She waved to the blue crow high on the wall.

Li Lian, who was inside the room, didn't want to stay a moment longer: "Someone, tie them up and take them away."

This kind of thing must be dealt with seriously!
Clearly, the environment inside the room was not suitable.

Old Zhou's face was pale.

Once adultery is confirmed, there's no need to report it to the authorities; the village head can take matters into his own hands and punish the offender privately.

He stammered, "...We were just confused for a moment."

"Really, we..."

"Quack, quack, quack."

A blue crow flew in.

It spoke loudly and affectionately to Matchmaker Liu.

"Chae-young, don't worry. How could those idiots in the village possibly know you're pregnant with my child?"
