The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 197: Forty-Seven Days Left
Back then, Hu Yuniang cried out to heaven and earth, but neither responded.
Over the years, she had her spirit worn down, not only watching others’ faces but waking early and working late to do household chores and serve the family. How many meals did she eat to her full?
Who can stand firm and accuse her of being petty and narrow-minded?
"Why should I let things go?"
"And why should I just muddle through?"
"If someone stabs me, I can’t just lick my wounds in secret and not hold grudges."
All she knew was an eye for an eye, a debt paid in blood.
This resentment is like a thorn. If it’s stuck in her heart for life, it will cause constant, piercing pain.
Yu Tingwan laughed, "Don’t you understand? I’m here to destroy you all."
"You can’t do this."
"Wan Niang, I was weak back then, my parents and grandparents did it for me... Technically, I was the spark."
The girl slowly turned her gaze to Hu Dalang.
Her lips moved, "Use your brain."
"Did you really think they were being beasts just for you?"
"They dissolved my mother’s engagement early not because they couldn’t get what they wanted. When your mother suggested it, they were tempted. Seeing the money and rice come in but their reputation and honor being destroyed, they then used you as an excuse to cover up their sins."
Hu Dalang’s pupils shrank suddenly.
"No... it can’t be."
Hu Dalang thought about how Mrs. Wang and Hu Dazhu couldn’t hold their heads up, about Hu Yaozu’s future, but not about himself.
As long as there’s Hu family blood, it’s destined to live in the shadows like vermin, and even the descendants will carry the stigma forever.
"From the moment Mrs. Xiao entered the house, you disliked her plain looks. Yet no matter how critical or shrewish she was, she had nothing against you."
"And your premature daughter."
Yu Tingwan smirked, "It’s a pity. She was burdened with the sins of her elders since birth."
The child was still young.
Couldn’t even speak.
But did she deserve it back then?
Yu Tingwan’s expression was indifferent.
"All these years, you wore Hu Yaozu’s cast-off clothes."
"Hu Dazhu did things unfairly."
"Every time working to death in the fields, Mrs. Wang wouldn’t spare you an egg to nourish your body."
"Why is there such a disparity between sons?"
"But then again, you were willing to put up with it; no wonder you looked down on your daughter later."
"Don’t you feel even a bit resentful?"
Yu Tingwan began to sow discord, adding fuel to the already messy Hu family.
"You probably do, right?"
"Even a clay figure has a temper, doesn’t it?"
"All these years supporting a scholar, what benefits have you received?"
"As a husband and father, you should think about what will happen to your wife and daughter."
"It’s better than begging me for mercy."
Yu Tingwan no longer wanted to waste words.
She stepped past Hu Dalang, ready to leave.
Yu Tingwan coldly said, "I’ve said everything to you, don’t ever show up in front of me again."
She didn’t want to see anyone from the Hu family anymore.
————
Yu Tingwan stood at the gate of the Wei Family for a long time.
Trying hard to adjust her emotions.
"Caw."
The green crow poked its head out from the half-open door, its small green bean-sized eyes fixed on Yu Tingwan.
Yu Tingwan lowered her head.
"What, don’t you recognize me?"
The green crow tilted its head and inched closer.
"Caw."
It let out a loud, angry cry.
"Ghost! You finally came back!"
This was what it wanted to say to Wei Zhao, but upon meeting his cold gaze, it swallowed its words in fear.
Yet it couldn’t hold back anymore.
It had been waiting so long for Yu Tingwan.
Could it be restrained?
Yu Tingwan: ...
"Where did you hear it from this time?"
The green crow: "Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to deal with you?"
Yu Tingwan: ???
The green crow: "You dared to flirt with my brother right in front of me!"
It was very indignant.
"Won’t it be long before you crawl into his bed?"
Yu Tingwan: !!!
Whose business is this?
The girl turned her head, putting previous matters behind her.
She wasn’t in a hurry to enter the house now.
She rummaged through her pocket.
Pulling out a small handful of melon seeds.
"Come, continue." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
She’s ready!
The green crow was very excited.
Honestly, only Yu Tingwan in this house understood it.
In the past, it had shouted too, but the Wei Family was worried it might set a bad example for the neighbor’s little girl.
It tried hard to think.
"You’re my wife, the one I rightfully married, don’t forget who you are!"
Yu Tingwan: Crack, crack.
She didn’t forget to feed a nut to the chattering green crow.
The crow swallowed it happily, hopping around with even more enthusiasm.
"Yes, I’m soft and not a man! That part isn’t big, it doesn’t even stand up, I can’t give you a child, every time I can only use my hands on you."
Yu Tingwan widened her eyes.
"But I’ve tried my best, I took medicine but it didn’t work."
"But you can’t be so shameless as to want to be my brother’s sister-in-law!"
Yu Tingwan paused after hearing this, patted the crow on the head, and entered the courtyard.
"Mother!"
As soon as she shouted, Hui Niang, busy in the kitchen, came out wielding a spatula, her face gentle and joyful.
"You must be tired from traveling, I heard from Lang you haven’t eaten yet, hungry?"
"I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles, with mushrooms and pork as a topping, mixed with the house’s sauce, sure to be delicious."
Yu Tingwan felt reassured hearing this.
She gave Hui Niang a gentle smile, "I’ll help with the firewood."
"No need for that."
Hui Niang: "Your father can do it."
"Go inside and keep Lang company."
Yu Tingwan responded with an ’oh’, obediently returning to the house.
Wei Zhao was leaning against the bedside, playing with a box containing the Luminous Pearl.
Seeing Yu Tingwan’s bright eyes and relaxed demeanor, he didn’t bring up the bothersome issue of Hu Dalang.
But Yu Tingwan had something to ask him.
The girl walked closer, her steps soft.
"Just now I heard the green crow’s gossip."
"Not sure whose scandal it was."
Wei Zhao: "Just some filthy matters, it’ll soil your ears, why bother caring?"
Yu Tingwan didn’t feel it was dirty.
In fact, she hadn’t heard enough of it.
Yu Tingwan blinked, "Yet I want to care about you, but you don’t give me a chance."
Wei Zhao tugged at the corner of his lips, "Is that so?"
Seeing this, Yu Tingwan decided to show some concern to Wei Zhao.
The girl glanced left and right, not seeing Shunzi’s figure.
She felt relieved.
She remembered seeing Wei Zhao looking soft before.
"That person looked a lot like you with his symptoms."
She leaned in, "Let me ask you something."
"Can you stand up?"
Wei Zhao’s face darkened, half angry and amused, even thinking the green crow deserved a good scolding.
His gaze was deep, locking onto the girl before him.
His tone was chill.
"Forty-seven days left."
Yu Tingwan was stunned.
What, is she going to the guillotine in forty-seven days?
The girl was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Wei Zhao’s thin lips rarely curved.
The curve made Yu Tingwan feel uneasy.
Yu Tingwan seemed to sense danger, leaning back, Wei Zhao approached, trapping her in a corner.
He raised his hand, tucking the girl’s stray hair behind her ear.
What does it mean.
Naturally, it means not letting her go, to be husband and wife.
"Yu Tingwan."
"Hmm?"
Wei Zhao: "You better count the days."
