The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 58: Not Even Worth My Husband’s Little Finger
Mrs. Wei was notoriously sharp-tongued and fierce, showing no mercy when it came to fighting.
Let alone when the second family hadn’t moved out yet, she would find trouble with Hui Niang every day, and she even picked fights with the gossipy Granny Fan.
At that time, she would directly grab a kitchen knife and charge over.
She was unreasonable, and the villagers avoided her; very few dared to provoke her.
Mrs. Wei was quite pleased with this.
But ever since Wei Shouzhong defied her control and clamored for the family to divide assets, everything changed!
Dividing the family? Fine, she would just pretend this son was never born.
But the eldest has changed too!
The eldest daughter-in-law even started putting on airs in front of her! In the past, Zhuang Mei would only be on the receiving end of her reprimands!
Even her most favored Wei Qintian hadn’t stepped into her room to visit her since she fell!
All her grandsons at home avoided her too.
Now, even a young girl doesn’t take her seriously!
"You!"
"I haven’t even settled the score with you over the last incident! And you have the nerve to chase me to my house?"
If it weren’t for her leg injury, she would’ve jumped up.
Mrs. Wei glared viciously at Yu Tingwan, wishing she could skin her alive.
Beside her sat Wei Shoucai and Zhuang Mei.
Zhuang Mei had four sons and a daughter.
The daughter was already married, the eldest son Wei Qintian had a wife, and the three younger sons were being considered by matchmakers.
Beside Wei Qintian sat his pregnant wife, Mrs. Qu, and their two children.
Yu Tingwan casually glanced around and understood the situation in the eldest family.
No wonder they wanted to adopt a son.
The whole family was lazy and indulgent; how could they support themselves?
Wei Shoucai set down his chopsticks heavily, displeased: "My mother is old, her words may not be nice to hear. I don’t care what grievances you have between you. But causing trouble at the doorstep during the New Year is quite audacious."
If it weren’t for the significance of New Year’s Eve, she would have driven them away directly.
"Did my family bother you?"
Even Zhuang Mei’s face darkened.
Yu Tingwan better not think about entering her home. Zhuang Mei felt furious as she saw her sons staring at Yu Tingwan.
She jumped up.
"Get out, don’t be an eyesore here!"
"I know you’re Hu Dazhu’s niece. In the end, Mrs. Wang raised you, yet you fell out with her and insisted on moving out. Clearly, you don’t appreciate kindness."
"What, have nowhere to go and want to freeload in my house?"
"Looking all seductive, clearly not proper, I’ve seen foxes like you before."
She lifted her chin with disdain: "Put away those thoughts you shouldn’t have, and don’t think you’re a match."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Well, well, no wonder Hui Niang was so afraid.
"Unappreciative of kindness?"
She found it laughable, not understanding how Zhuang Mei could even say such things with a straight face.
"In this, I’m indeed not comparable. Previously you kept saying you’d pass the eldest son to the second family."
"Who in the village doesn’t say the Wei Family’s eldest couple is generous, Mrs. Wei is rare for being reasonable, Wei Qintian naturally feels guilty about the past, willing to be the son for his uncle and aunt to care for them in their old age."
This sounded much more pleasant.
Sounds quite comforting.
Zhuang Mei thought she saw through Yu Tingwan’s little tricks.
She’s lowering herself, deliberately speaking nicely to flatter her!
"But under Da Jin’s law, if you have few male offspring, there’s no need to conscript. Even back then, when Wei Shen reached conscription age, he didn’t have to go."
Yu Tingwan suddenly shifted her tone: "Wei Shen returning must have thwarted your plans, quite frustrating, huh."
The girl standing at the door chuckled lightly, though there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile in her eyes.
"It’s often said when adopting a child, either choose one still too young to remember, or find a distant relative to avoid them constantly thinking of their biological parents, raising an ungrateful ingrate."
"You people have quite the venomous minds; how could I compare."
Wei Qintian’s heart is wholly with the eldest family, could he truly honor his uncle and aunt?
If he were adopted, would he not drain the second family dry?
Yu Tingwan looked at Wei Qintian.
Hmm, he appears rugged.
But his character is questionable.
Not even up to a single finger of her husband.
She calmly asked Wei Qintian: "How do you feel justified letting him stand in for you while you married and settled down at home?"
"Besides, all those injuries he sustained should have been yours."
"Outside, you shrugged it off, claiming you were young, frightened, confused, and followed orders. Why, then, when Wei Shen returned, did you not visit him even once?"
"What, your legs are as lame as your grandma’s?"
Everyone was stunned.
Who would’ve thought a seemingly delicate girl could speak so sharply.
And yet she hadn’t uttered a single profanity.
Mrs. Wei was so angry her mouth twisted.
"You’re the one who’s lame!"
She just had a fall.
Wei Qintian’s face contorted.
When Mrs. Wei first suggested sending Wei Shen, he was secretly pleased, yet everyone reminded him of the wrong done to Wei Shen.
Grandpa held his hand on his deathbed.
["Qintian, your grandma is muddled, your parents are selfish, and I wasn’t good either. But there was nothing we could do back then. Your uncle and aunt only have one son, and we practically ruined his life, their hearts are heavy, you mustn’t forget your roots, you must honor them."]
The Wei family granduncle often said harsh words.
From the moment he learned Wei Shen had been deceived away, he lashed out at grandpa.
["They’ve lost it, and you’re messing around with them? That child calls you grandpa, where’s your dignity as an elder?"]
He had even harsher words for Wei Shoucai and his wife, pointing at them, scolding harshly.
["Are you human? Pitiless beasts, aren’t you afraid of retribution? Does Shouzhong’s couple owe you?"]
He then looked deeply at the trembling Wei Qintian.
["Afraid of dying?"]
["Wasn’t Lang afraid?"]
["As the eldest grandson, when trouble arises, you should stand upfront to protect your siblings, what did you do?"]
Later, after the court publicly announced the obituaries, the granduncle seldom interacted with them, and on Qintian’s wedding day, he spoke words of particular misfortune.
["Now that you’re married, live well, if Lang were here, he’d be settled down too."]
Until his parents developed the idea of adoption and pretended to be remorseful outside, only then did the granduncle’s gaze soften toward them.
["Now, this makes sense! The past is a muddled account; I, this old bone, can’t hope for you to turn hostility into peace. But no matter the grudge, you’re still family."]
The older generation values harmony within the family for the prosperity of all.
But Wei Qintian couldn’t understand; he was the eldest grandson of the family, shouldn’t Wei Shen stand in for him!
These people may criticize him.
But why should Yu Tingwan!?
What’s she worth!
He abruptly stood, glaring icily at Yu Tingwan: "It’s not your place to comment on my family’s affairs."
He shouted: "Even if Hu Yaozu accomplishes something and becomes a scholar in the future, I won’t refrain from hitting a woman on his account!"
Yu Tingwan: ...
Oh dear, she’s so scared.
