Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 218 Avoid
Wang Huanzhi's injury is not serious, but he should still be careful in the next few days, avoiding lifting heavy objects and moving around too much.

Even though Jiang Jing said that, Wang Huanzhi kept groaning and complaining.

His reaction was so extreme that Zhang Yingdi suspected he might have other ailments. Seeing Wang Huanzhi acting this way, Jiang Jing directly told him he needed to rest and asked Zhang Yingdi to take him home to recuperate.

Meng Xiaoya took her daughter to Taoyaofang under the guise of seeking medical treatment. Wang Huanzhi took Zhang Yingdi to avoid them, also wanting to stay away from the limelight and the source of this trouble.

"She seems quite honest on the surface, but I never expected her to be so cunning. Your aunt is so worried that she can't see anything else. She still wants a divorce? She's dreaming."

Su Yaoguang knew that although Zhang Zhaodi spoke fiercely, she was actually quite satisfied with Wang Huanzhi's performance.

Wang Huanzhi keenly perceived Zhang Yingdi's concerns and decisively removed the threat by leading her away from the area, away from the sensitive point. He then cleared away the surrounding clutter, simplifying the relationship between the couple. Next, he controlled the pace, allowing Zhang Yingdi's resentment to gradually dissipate. Only then could he have a proper talk with her, ensuring she would truly listen and leaving room for reconciliation.

“The fact that Uncle-in-law understood the reason so quickly and tried to salvage the situation shows that he still cares about Aunt-in-law. Mother also realized that Aunt-in-law can’t let go of Uncle-in-law at all. Now, as long as Uncle-in-law behaves better, Aunt-in-law will forgive him soon,” Su Yaoguang said. “This is a matter between the couple, so we shouldn’t interfere. Whatever decision Aunt-in-law makes, we just need to support her.”

Meng Xiaoya brought her daughter Qiao'er in and out of Taoyao Fang, but no matter how many times she visited, Wang Huanzhi and Zhang Yingdi never showed up again. Qiao'er's illness quickly improved, and she had no other reason to come to Taoyao Fang. So, Meng Xiaoya and Qiao'er stopped visiting.

Originally, it was thought that the matter was over, but a few days later, Meng Xiaoya's family came to the door, saying that they wanted Wang Huanzhi to take responsibility for Meng Xiaoya.

"Take responsibility?" Zhang Zhaodi looked at the Meng family members, young and old, dressed in tattered clothes, their eyes filled with greed. "What did my brother-in-law do to her? Does he need to take responsibility for her?"

“Yesterday he went home to visit his parents, and we treated him to a good meal. Xiaoya also happened to be visiting her parents, so we all got together for a while and had some drinks. But, after drinking, he actually bullied Xiaoya.”

Meng Xiaoya's brother, Meng Lei, shouted loudly, and even as more and more pedestrians passed by, he showed no sign of stopping.

"Where's the evidence?"

“If you bring Wang Huanzhi out, we are willing to confront him.”

Zhang Zhaodi was arguing with the Meng family when Su Yaoguang was about to step in to help, but then Feng Chaoyang strode in.

“Sister…” Feng Chaoyang had grown much taller and was dressed very well; she looked like a completely different person. “This is a letter that Young Master Wang asked us to deliver.”

“Young Master Wang…my aunt’s husband?” Su Yaoguang said as she opened the letter, quickly reading it through in a flash, and was somewhat amused and exasperated. “Stop arguing, the person in question left long ago, what’s there to argue about?”

Hearing Su Yaoguang's words, Zhang Zhaodi took the letter from her hand. After reading its contents, she felt even more confident and threw the letter at Meng Lei's face. "Fine, you actually tried to force yourselves on me, drugging my brother-in-law's wine. However, my brother-in-law sensed something was wrong and left immediately. You want to cause trouble, huh? Go ahead and cause trouble. Whether it's drugging or slandering a scholar, it's enough to send your whole family to jail. Also, my brother-in-law said he took my sister on a trip and won't be back for a year or two. If you want to cause trouble, wait a year or two, and deal with him when he has time to come back. Right now, the main character isn't here, and you dare to cause trouble in Taoyaofang? I'll immediately go to the county government to report this and ask the magistrate to take charge."

Zhang Zhaodi pointed in the direction of the plaque: "Do you see it clearly? That plaque was bestowed by the government. Do you think the plaque sent by the county magistrate is just for show? You dare to cause trouble in Taoyao Lane?"

"He ran away?" Meng Lei asked in disbelief.

He picked up the letter and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't read, so it was pointless for him to read it. In his eyes, the words were just crooked, scraggly insects.

He was unwilling to accept this, so he showed the letter to the person next to him and asked if the letter said that he wouldn't be back for a year or two.

"That's exactly what he said. He also said that they've been stuck at home all these years, and his wife has never had a good day since marrying him. Now, thanks to his older sister and niece, they've earned enough money to live on, and he wants to take his wife on a trip around the world."

The expressions on the faces of the Meng family members looked as if they had swallowed a fly.

They had made all sorts of preparations, determined not to give up until Wang Huanzhi married their widowed sister, and were prepared for a stalemate. But the other side simply wouldn't cooperate.

Not only did they not respond, they also disappeared. If they wanted to cling to him, could they possibly chase after someone who had vanished without a trace?
"Waaah..." Meng Xiaoya plopped down on the ground and burst into tears, like a madwoman on the verge of a breakdown.

"Get out, get out! Don't cause trouble in my shop!" Zhang Zhaodi shouted. "Guards, throw them out! If they come to our shop to cause trouble, I'll take responsibility if they kill or maim them."

The men were wielding their tools and beating up the Meng family members.

Unable to find Wang Huanzhi, the Meng family could only slink away in disgrace.

“That kid is really cunning,” Zhang Zhaodi said. “He must have expected that this family would cause trouble in Taoyaofang. He wrote a letter and sent it to Taoyaofang, and even read it aloud on the spot.”

“I always thought my uncle was a bit indecisive, but now I realize I underestimated him. He’s the key to the whole thing; as long as he’s not around, that family won’t dare to cause any trouble. However, I think his claim that he’s taking my aunt on a trip is just an excuse. He should be taking her back to the provincial capital now. Once the provincial list is released, if he’s on the list, he’ll have to rush to the capital to prepare for the upcoming imperial examination.”

“Even if his name isn’t on the list, he’ll still go to the capital and find a famous academy there to continue his studies. My uncle has been lying low for so long; he can’t just give up like that. His focus will still be on the imperial examinations,” Zhou Wangshu added to Su Yaoguang beside her.

"In short, he ran away and even abducted my little sister," Zhang Zhaodi said angrily. "That silly little sister of mine could never escape his grasp. Now she's probably been completely coaxed into submission by him again."
