The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 183: Haven’t Had Enough Yet?

The next day.

Under the light, Yu Tingwan awoke, had breakfast, and went next door to relieve Elder Ge.

Elder Ge didn’t dare sleep much last night, dozing off constantly, now so exhausted his eyes couldn’t stay open. After all, with age, even walking seemed a bit unsteady. After leaving the room, he couldn’t help but give some final reminders.

"I’ve put the medicine on the stove to stew, watch over it carefully, don’t let it over-boil. Let him eat about half an hour after the meal."

"He hasn’t woken up yet, when he does, give him a few sips of water first."

Yu Tingwan noted it down.

After seeing Elder Ge off back to his room, she finally entered the pharmacy.

The young lady walked over to glance at Wei Zhao, who was sleeping soundly with a calm breath.

After a whole night, his face was still deathly pale.

A kind of weak, sickly white.

He didn’t look very good.

His breathing was faintly discernible.

But there had been no disturbance from next door all night, and by Elder Ge’s earlier demeanor, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Recovery couldn’t be rushed.

It needed to be taken slowly.

This was Wei Zhao already dressed.

Indeed, a person looks proper only when dressed!

She approached the simmering medicine pot, picked up a nearby wooden fan, and gently waved it to control the fire.

Usually, Wei Zhao was a light sleeper, waking at the slightest noise, so Yu Tingwan always moved with light steps, even placing the medicine pot in the stove room.

But now, Wei Zhao wasn’t waking up.

When the medicine was ready, she poured it out to cool.

Yu Tingwan couldn’t sit still yet didn’t want to disturb Wei Zhao by waking him.

After a thought, she decided to go next door, pick up the goldfish, and play with them to pass the time.

But as soon as she left the yard, she bumped into Shunzi.

Shunzi was dusty and disheveled, with the chill in the air, plenty of vegetation on the mountain paths, and heavy humidity, his clothes were slightly damp at the edges.

He glanced toward the pharmacy and bowed to Yu Tingwan, "I have a matter to report to Madam."

Yu Tingwan couldn’t be bothered to correct the form of address anymore.

However, she frowned, feeling uneasy.

"Has something happened at home?"

"I have learned that the Hu Family has already discussed a marriage with the Chu Family and went into town this time to arrange the betrothal gifts. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wang had an argument with the Wei Family elder at the academy’s entrance."

Before Yu Tingwan could ask, he divulged everything he knew, not daring to hide anything.

"It made quite a scene."

"Mrs. Wang provoked first, insulted later. Hu Dazhu couldn’t stop her and after casually reprimanding her once or twice, tried to step forward to chat, but was scolded harshly by the Yu Family."

Originally worried about her parents being wronged, Yu Tingwan felt relieved upon hearing her aunt was there.

"How did my aunt scold her?"

"She called Mrs. Wang a mad dog, said she should’ve been leashed when out, so she wouldn’t just bite everywhere."

Yu Tingwan: !!!

So thrilling!

Shunzi: "And also said Mrs. Wang was an ugly person who causes trouble, suggesting she should take a look in a puddle to see what she really is. Just because she has a son, she shouldn’t think she’s something special."

Hu Dazhu valued face, and people came and went at the academy entrance. Yet the Yu Family showed no reservation, speaking loudly.

He was particularly troubled.

Why couldn’t they discuss things calmly, there’s no need to be so confrontational, after all, they were already related by marriage and would have to see each other in the future.

He took a step forward, just about to persuade with kind words.

Then he was scolded too.

Shunzi: "The Yu Family cursed Hu Dazhu, saying he had a rotten heart, terribly biased, pretended as if he really cared about his niece but only talked insincerely, making others think he was worth something."

And that wasn’t all.

The Yu Family even spat on the ground.

— "Unbelievable, over the years gained quite a good reputation relying on the niece. The family is eating blood-stained buns, if it weren’t for Wan Niang’s real mother, your whole family wouldn’t be where it is today? Taking care of Wan Niang is only right, that child owes you nothing."

— "Your family is good at using her as a slave, oh my, who has more conscience than you?"

— "What, marrying the teacher’s daughter from town? That’s really an honor; your son instead of relying on his ability, turned to rely on a woman? What a scholar, turns out to be just this mediocre."

Shunzi: "Mrs. Wang was so infuriated she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight."

Yu Tingwan frowned, "How about my aunt?"

Shunzi straightened his posture, "Mrs. Wang didn’t manage to hit; instead, the Yu Family slapped her across the face."

The Yu Family didn’t even need Zhao Yong and Wei Shouzhong’s help.

One person against eight!

Hu Dazhu looked down on Mrs. Wang, but after all, she was his wife, he couldn’t just watch her get beaten and do nothing.

Yet he considered himself reasonable.

"Hu Dazhu said, although Zhao Yu couldn’t study anymore, he has quite a few schoolmates. He reminds the Yu Family to maintain their behavior outside, so the child wouldn’t be embarrassed and laughed at when schoolmates see."

Yu Tingwan: ...

This was exactly what Hu Dazhu would say.

Yu Tingwan could even imagine Hu Dazhu saying this, claiming it was for the Yu Family’s own good.

"This..."

"Madam, don’t worry; the Yu Family didn’t buy into his nonsense. They pointed at Hu Dazhu’s face immediately and made it clear that disciplining Wang Cuihua was what she deserved!"

The Yu Family said.

— "I have the right, what’s there to fear living with your head held high? If you’re not convinced, come debate. Children’s education is about right and wrong, they understand what’s good and bad. It’s not about making them think knowing a few words makes them superior, thinking their mother embarrassed them."

Shunzi felt a great sense of satisfaction.

After all, there was a large crowd gathered, pointing at the Hu Family.

Hu Yaozu’s face was grim.

Clearly aware that he couldn’t out-debate the Yu Family, this shrew, he intended to pull his parents away from the trouble.

However.

The Yu Family patted their son Zhao Yu on the shoulder.

Yu Tingwan eagerly asked, "Then?"

Shunzi: "The Yu Family, full of spirit, feared the Hu Family wouldn’t see and made Zhao Yu circle the three of them before finally letting him enter the academy."

"And even left some words."

"What words?"

Shunzi, mimicking the Yu Family’s tone, faithfully reported, "My Ah Yu may be lacking, but he has doting cousins. His access to the county academy owes to Lang and Wan Niang’s connections. If you want access, you might as well beg, but better not make a fool of yourselves, who cares to deal with you all?"

Yu Tingwan: ...Well done!

Because of this, Yu Tingwan was in a great mood.

After Wei Zhao woke up, she prepared to feed him water with a smile.

But the smile quickly vanished.

Though he was still the same person as last night, at this moment, Wei Zhao had returned to his usual adherence to chastity and kept a distance.

Wei Zhao’s lips were pale, a noticeable sense of brokenness. He seemed listless.

The pain endured last night was as if all the bones in his body had been shattered and slowly pieced back together. It was even more piercing than heart-wrenching pain. Even after waking, he still looked haggard.

He coughed lowly, speaking softly, "I can drink myself."

Yu Tingwan frowned.

"You weren’t like this yesterday."

Although it was difficult for her to accept that from the start.

Why revert to this prudish stance again!

Wei Zhao lifted his eyelids.

"What?"

He seemed very frail.

As if feeling that she was being greedy, Wei Zhao faintly spoke, "Is this still not enough for you, not let you enjoy yourself to the fullest?"
