The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 167: Of All My Husband’s Qualities, His Mouth Is the Most Stubborn

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Of All My Husband’s Qualities, His Mouth Is the Most Stubborn

Wei Family Courtyard.

Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang were organizing the basket brought by the Zhao Family.

Fresh bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, black fungus, peach gum, dried small fish, cured bacon, and over fifty home-raised eggs.

Wei Shouzhong accompanied Zhao Yong to the street to buy a cow.

Thanks to Shunzi’s fortune, the Zhao family now had money on hand. Having a cow made travel more convenient, and farming wouldn’t be as laborious in the future.

The original plan was to buy in town. However, the market cows there lacked vigor.

Seeing the basket so full, Hui Niang couldn’t help but say, "I told Sister-in-law that there’s everything in the county, why bring it over?"

"How can the things bought outside be as good as homemade?"

Yu Family: "They’re not for you. The eggs are to nourish Lang. Only seeing him well can I, as his aunt, be at ease."

She turned to look at Yu Tingwan with a smile.

"When I saw you at the last wedding feast, I thought you looked nice and had a good temperament. It’s as if the heavens couldn’t bear to see your in-laws suffer too much, and the Wei Family accumulated some good fortune over these years, allowing Lang to come back and marry you."

Previously, when Hui Niang returned to the village and said she bought a courtyard in the county, the Yu Family didn’t believe it.

Now sitting in the courtyard, she felt a bit dizzy.

She was harsh with her words and even better at speaking nicely.

"Who knew you were truly blessed. Look, the Wei Family is thriving now, all thanks to you, the new daughter-in-law."

The Yu Family was genuinely not saying this casually.

She truly felt Yu Tingwan brought prosperity.

The Yu Family even believed that the Hu Family’s years of success were due to Yu Tingwan’s presence.

The Hu Family had been flourishing, but once Yu Tingwan left, didn’t it become a joke?

What was said about Yu Tingwan, Hui Niang found reasonable.

She nodded repeatedly.

With all this, it seemed all due to Yu Tingwan’s credit.

If it were someone else, they would have felt embarrassed long ago.

Yu Tingwan knew the real credit lay with Wei Zhao.

But a girl loves to hear good words!

Is there anything wrong with that?

Yu Tingwan had no psychological burden.

She nodded: "That’s right."

Yu Tingwan seriously said: "I accept it!"

Wei Zhao, sitting languidly to the side in his wheelchair, heard this and slightly lifted his eyelids, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The Yu Family then spoke to Hui Niang: "Honestly, the cured bacon was initially meant for another teacher at the town’s academy."

"His surname is Chi, not in good health. But his reputation is much better than Mr. Chu."

"I also visited his place."

"When he heard about our situation, he nodded and agreed to let Ah Yu return. Coincidentally, Mr. Chu also went there and just ran into us."

Thinking of this, the Yu Family felt anger welling up: "Goodness, you should have seen it, Mr. Chu had such a big stance and gave us a good scolding."

Saying things like, leave when you like, come when you please, treating the academy like your home?

Also saying without rules, nothing can be achieved.

He even said Ah Yu was inadequate here and there, advising Mr. Chi not to be too soft-hearted.

"I thought since Mr. Chi had a standing, with Ah Yu studying under him, Mr. Chu wouldn’t have grounds to criticize. But who knew Mr. Chi wouldn’t even dare make a sound in front of him."

Actually, the Yu Family could understand.

Mr. Chi’s health was poor, and in recent years, most academy affairs were managed by Mr. Chu. His students were few compared to Mr. Chu’s.

So he didn’t want to stir things up or create discord with Mr. Chu over an ordinary student.

But the Yu Family just felt uncomfortable.

It seemed like their Ah Yu was significantly lacking.

Although... maybe he was indeed a bit lacking.

But Ah Yu was more willing than anyone to put in the effort.

"Since he wasn’t willing to help, I didn’t feel like giving him the bacon anymore."

Yu Family: "We might as well eat it ourselves."

She and Hui Niang had some private words, and once everything was tidied up, they went inside to talk.

Four people were left in the courtyard.

Nannan played in the corner with the crow.

Yu Tingwan then scrutinized Zhao Yu.

Yu Tingwan frowned.

At this moment! She finally became aware!

Her aesthetics differed from others!

Because Zhao Yu was tall and thin, somewhat frail.

Zhao Yu wore a faded cotton coat, sitting honestly next to Wei Zhao.

His features were well-defined.

Clean and tidy.

Giving a very comfortable feeling.

Not at all brawny.

Yet he was almost taken by force.

Hui Niang said if Zhao Yu hadn’t failed in his studies, many would have been eyeing him.

But why!

Perhaps because he was in an unfamiliar environment, Zhao Yu didn’t talk much; he kept busy.

Like peeling oranges for Wei Zhao.

Shelling sunflower seeds for him.

Also fetching water for him.

Never idle.

In the end, Zhao Yu couldn’t hold back and spoke softly.

"Cousin, do you remember me?"

His voice was so soft that Yu Tingwan could barely hear it.

Zhao Yu’s eyes, however, were bright, the desolation from Mr. Chu’s criticism faded, turning into uncontrollable joy.

"When I was bullied, it was Cousin who stood up for me. One punch, and the other guy had a swollen face."

In anticipation.

Wei Zhao: "I don’t remember."

Zhao Yu felt a bit disappointed.

"Then Cousin, do you remember how you almost fought with someone over a copper coin?"

No wonder he could join the Wei Family Army.

It’s a pity that the real Wei Shen is no longer here.

But Wei Zhao didn’t respond.

He looked up, his expression indifferent.

"What books have you read?"

Zhao Yu, upon hearing, felt a bit embarrassed.

The students from the town were all trying to get into the county academy.

Therefore, the town academy had mostly rural children.

Very few rural families were willing to send their children to study.

The academy recruited students every three years.

He started late.

The Hu Yaozu’s students had studied for three years before he got in.

But that year, the harvest was poor, and every household tightened their belts. Only three went to the town academy.

If there had been many, Mr. Chu would definitely have taught well.

After some time, only Zhao Yu persisted among the three.

Mr. Chu’s teaching time was already limited, and he didn’t want to spend it all on Zhao Yu. So each lesson was short and perfunctory; within half a year, Zhao Yu was put with Hu Yaozu’s peers.

Zhao Yu entered the academy too late; he barely recognized a few characters, so how could he keep up?

For years, he struggled...

He hesitated: "To pass the child scholar exam, I’ve read the ’Hundred Family Names,’ ’Three Character Classic,’ ’Student Rules,’ and ’Li Weng’s Rhymes.’"

"I haven’t read all of ’Divine Child Poem’ and ’Youlin Qiong Xue.’"

Wei Zhao: "Do you understand the meanings in the books?"

The family sponsored his studies, paying so much tuition annually. Zhao Yu shamefully lowered his head.

Zhao Yu: "But I can recite them."

Wei Zhao intended to see his capabilities.

At this age, he wasn’t young.

But to judge a student’s worth, aside from aptitude, it wasn’t about how many books he had read, hundreds or thousands.

It was about maintaining strong fundamentals through personal effort despite being neglected by the teacher and looked down on by peers.

"Write it from memory."

Wei Zhao, coolly: "Without missing a word, can you do it?"

Zhao Yu paused.

He didn’t understand why Wei Zhao wanted to test him.

But since Cousin said so, he should follow suit.

Zhao Yu wasn’t too flustered; after all, he had truly memorized them thoroughly: "I’ll try."

Once Yu Tingwan prepared paper and pen, seeing Zhao Yu dutifully go to the stone table to write, she whispered next to Wei Zhao: "Isn’t this a bit tough?"

Wei Zhao: "Tough?"

Yu Tingwan was about to nod.

Wei Zhao, for once, looked at her seriously.

If he can endure this, then fine...

"In the future, our son will be taught by me personally, and by five, he’ll be able to do it."

Yu Tingwan:?? What on earth?

Are people in the Capital that competitive?

She was still playing with mud at five.

But... Yu Tingwan was more concerned about something else.

To have one’s conduct as pure as jade like that.

Can you really have a son?

If the wife doesn’t run away, that’s good enough.

If it doesn’t work out, so be it, but his words were so boastful.

The lady had a stern face: "I can see it now."

"Out of everything, my husband’s mouth is the toughest!"
