The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 82: Who Knows Why She Suddenly Wanted to Be Human
Cohabitation is different from causing a scandal by getting pregnant.
Li Lian was incredulous with anger.
Having lived most of her life, she had never seen such a thing.
Granny Fan’s eyes widened, Liu Caixing slandered her, and even wanted to call her a fool!!!
Caught in such a scandal, Matchmaker Liu was embarrassed, no longer displaying her usual brashness and efficiency.
"Nonsense, it’s a lie!"
She was furious and humiliated, not caring about saving face, and was about to get off the bed to grab the crow and smash it to death.
Li Lian: "Is it true or not? A doctor can tell with a pulse check!"
"But unfortunately, Old Man Qian has gone to treat Qin Niang’s wife and hasn’t returned yet."
Aunt Wu suggested, "However, we can find the midwife from Sandun Village to give her an abortion potion and see if there’s any reaction."
Sandun Village, abortion potion...
Liu Caixing met Aunt Wu’s smiling eyes and felt a chill down her spine.
"I’m not in pain or sick, you don’t need to worry about me."
Li Lian sneered; could she not make this decision?
She moved back a little, while several women who had found a rope rushed towards Matchmaker Liu.
"Wait!"
These people were rough-handed, scaring Old Man Zhou into a cold sweat, and he knelt onto the ground with a thud.
"It’s my fault, it’s all my fault."
He started kowtowing and playing pitiful: "The eldest son left too early, and the Zhou family line was broken. It’s been tough all these years, and finally Caixing is pregnant, so I have a future now. Please turn a blind eye and spare us."
He hastily added, "I’ll take her away and we’ll never come back."
"What do you want, money? Or land? We can give it."
...The miser was unexpectedly generous.
This indeed moved quite a few people. They were too poor.
Aunt Wu scorned, "If you are dealt with, all this will be confiscated. What can you give?"
Li Lian didn’t hesitate: "Tie them up!"
A ruthless look flashed in Old Man Zhou’s eyes.
Was this still not enough even when he had stooped so low!
If he didn’t have it good, Li Lian would not have it good either. Old Man Zhou went wild and tried to fight, but was held down firmly by Chang Shu in the crowd.
Chang Shu took over the rope and tied him up tightly.
Seeing this, Matchmaker Liu knew it was all over.
They say when disaster strikes, each flies for themselves; she and Old Man Zhou weren’t even a couple! Just now, being affectionate with the father-in-law, now she turned on him.
"It was him, he forced me initially!"
She wept bitterly: "After my husband died, didn’t I want to remain chaste for him? But the father-in-law is strong, what could I do?"
"This child... this child I never wanted from the start. It was him, he insisted I give birth."
Old Man Zhou was stunned, never expecting Matchmaker Liu to say such things.
Seeing even Li Lian unmoved, Matchmaker Liu hurriedly controlled her panic and spoke harshly while feeling weak inside: "Don’t forget, I was the one who arranged the matches for your two grandsons!"
Someone laughed.
Granny Fan put her hands on her hips: "Hah, so what if you arranged the matches? Didn’t you get paid as a matchmaker? Those who don’t know might think the Village Chief’s family owes you a big favor."
Even if it were Mrs. Wei with a knife coming to chop her, Granny Fan could handle eight of her at once!
Yu Tingwan knew that angering her was indeed necessary.
The girl continued kicking stones, while her eyes fell on the ox cart in the corner of the Zhou family, listening to Granny Fan ranting against everyone.
"Yes, the two granddaughters-in-law of the Chang family are excellent ladies, you put in a lot of effort, but don’t I know you? When the Village Chief’s family approached you to arrange a marriage, did you dare stuff any random person through?"
"Don’t think I don’t know, the recent match you arranged just married less than half a month ago, and the bride hung herself. When proposing, you took dirty money and praised the groom’s family to the skies! Didn’t even mention a word about the bad; that girl from the Yun family happily got married not knowing she was going to be shared among brothers."
"The girl from Sandun Village who married into the Liu family in town was also matched by you, and you’ve been boasting that it was all thanks to you."
"You deceived the Liu family thoroughly, saying the townsfolk are dignified and wealthy, even owning three shops. Marrying there meant living a good life, but what kind of life is that girl living now? Her husband is paralyzed from the waist down, can’t even get out of bed, and the Liu girl has to take care of all his needs."
"Her in-laws are wealthy but treat her extremely harshly. Last month the girl resolutely committed suicide by swallowing rat poison."
"One incident after another, even if you have the face to hear it, I don’t have the face to say it."
The families of those deceased girls had also caused trouble, but after taking it to court, everything ended up unresolved.
The County Magistrate, blinded by money, can he be relied on?
Matchmaker Liu was just the middlewoman, always managing to escape unscathed.
Why was it that when she acted against her conscience, the groom’s families always had connections or money?
Moreover, when such things happen, she’s never short of business, and many successful marriages were also matched by her.
Who can guarantee other matchmakers don’t act without conscience?
Besides, those others aren’t as competent as she is!
Granny Fan spat: "By this count, the number of girls you’ve harmed isn’t small."
"Let’s not talk about others, isn’t our village’s Lady Xiao such a case?"
"You dare harm even someone from your village! She at least called you aunt! If I were Hui Niang, I would’ve torn you apart a long time ago!"
With that, she looked around.
"Where’s Wan Niang?"
She started shouting: "Wan Niang!"
Everyone helped to look around, soon making a path. All eyes turned to the girl leisurely watching the ox cart at the doorway.
Who knows how this girl grew to be so fair-skinned. It’s a pity that Wei Shen’s health doesn’t allow him to enjoy such fortune.
The girl turned her head slowly: "Hmm?"
Granny Fan temporarily put aside past grievances.
She exaggeratedly said, "This reminds me that Wang Cuihua and this wretch negotiated to have you married off to Landlord Dong."
"You’re fortunate to have entered the Wei family’s door, otherwise you might have been tied up and smuggled into the Dong family’s bridal sedan!"
Granny Fan pointed to Matchmaker Liu: "Yes, it was her who let it slip herself."
"Who knows why she decided to act human this time."
Yu Tingwan: ...
She was threatened.
"Many in the village know about this, Wan Niang, you were kept in the dark, weren’t you?"
Li Lian’s expression changed, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Tingwan.
Yu Tingwan: ...
Back when she didn’t go to the Village Chief’s house for meat, Widow Shi, who witnessed the event, frowned.
"Such talk must not be spread recklessly."
"Although Mrs. Wang is muddled, how dare she do such a thing? Not to mention Hu Dazhu would eventually return, and Yaozu still needs to gain scholarly titles..."
Before she could finish, Granny Fan contemptuously interrupted.
"This is all nailed down, and the Village Chief, in order to protect the reputation of scholars, told us not to speak of it."
"How wouldn’t she dare?"
"Just say Wan Niang disappeared, wouldn’t that work?"
Granny Fan gave an example: "Haven’t quite a few outsiders arrived in our village, including baby brokers who buy and sell girls? Once the roads reopen, they will leave. Mrs. Wang could stiffen her neck and claim Wan Niang was knocked out and kidnapped by a baby broker. It’s not impossible either."
