The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 57 He was hit six times

Yu Tingwan glanced at Wei Zhao twice.

She still suspects that Wei Shen worked as a cook in the Wei family army. He simply doesn't exude any of the imposing presence of someone seasoned in battle.

Yes, only a strong sense of death.

Wei Zhao is so weak, she could knock him down with one punch. What can her son learn from him?
But men care about their pride, so Yu Tingwan didn't want to hurt his feelings.

She pondered for a moment, then said tactfully, "The people in the martial arts are all trained martial artists. Most of those who were sent to military training but were rejected and not selected by the army will go to the martial arts arena. Gambling dens and security escort agencies will also go there to pick people when they are short of staff."

Wei Zhao uttered four words calmly: "They were eliminated."

Which military camp doesn't need more people? Those who get rejected are the least qualified.

Those who were chosen had to be exceptionally capable, standing out among a group of greenhorns, in order to have a chance to be sent to Wei Zhao.

Yu Tingwan was slightly taken aback.

I know you served in Wei Jiajun, but don't you know your own limitations?
How dare you look down on others?
"They are very strong, each of them can break stone with a single punch, they are extremely skilled. They have also gained teaching experience over the years."

Wei Zhao didn't even look at her this time. His pale lips moved slightly, and he listlessly repeated, "You were eliminated."

So she changed her tune: "Okay, actually I just didn't want my husband to work too hard."

“You’ll be earning money to support your family in the future, so you won’t have the time or energy to teach him.”

Wei Zhao didn't hear a single word.

His gaze was vacant as he muttered, "I was eliminated."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Men are damn competitive.

…………

Yu Tingwan also went to the mountains several times, but after picking a few fruits and other medicinal herbs, she came up empty-handed. Before she knew it, it was New Year's Eve.

She got up early and swept the dust.

Hui Niang was killing a chicken. She deftly made a cut on the chicken's neck to bleed it, then threw it into boiling water to soak it before plucking the feathers.

The chicken was bought by Yu Tingwan from outside, and Yue Shan was watching over it.

Hui Niang asked him, "Does Yue Shan like to eat chicken?"

Yue Shan: "Hmm!"

Yu Tingwan also heard Hui Niang's voice.

The girl placed the peeled egg into Wei Zhao's hand and nodded emphatically.

She loves to eat it too!

Wei Zhao:......

so annoying.

These past few days, Yu Tingwan has been watching him eat every day.

He was about to throw it away without thinking, but before he could do so, he was hit with a hammer.

Wei Zhao looked at Yu Tingwan with gloomy eyes.

Yu Tingwan pressed her lips together and looked back fearlessly.

The couple remained deadlocked.

Someone has to lose.

Wei Zhao took a bite without any expression.

After taking a bite, he swallowed it with difficulty and then began to stare blankly.

Then he got hammered again.

Wei Zhao's eyes darted around, and he slowly took another bite.

There was still a lot of paste left from the wedding, so Yu Tingwan took it to paste the door god New Year pictures on the door.

Wei Zhao slowly lowered his hand, not even having a thought, but the girl working next to him noticed and punched him again.

Yes, for every egg he eats, Yu Tingwan will hit him six times.

The New Year's Eve dinner is eaten around noon. After the meal is prepared at home, the men go out to worship their ancestors, and if there are children in the family, they will follow behind to help carry lanterns.

Yu Tingwan cut the previously braised pork intestines into pieces and arranged them on a plate.

With her help, Hui Niang's life became much easier.

Perhaps it was because it was the New Year, but even though her husband wasn't there, she still had a smile on her face.

“Your father told me before he left that he would apologize to the ancestors when he returned, and that we didn’t need to go there.”

"I went to offer incense to Xiaoniang this morning, telling her that my husband has returned and asking her to protect him from heaven," she rambled on. Then, as if remembering something, her expression froze.

Yu Tingwan sensed something was wrong: "Mother, what's wrong?"

“Every year during the Lunar New Year, we always send a dish of food to the old family home. It’s good that we’ve separated the family, but we still have to show respect to the old family. If we suddenly stop sending it, people will inevitably gossip.”

“We will also give your grandmother a pension every year. It’s all written down in black and white. It’s agreed that the money will be given to her on New Year’s Eve for the following year.”

I've been so busy these past few days that I completely forgot about it.

She was a little worried.

Hui Niang had suffered many losses at the hands of Old Madam Wei and the eldest son's family, so she was somewhat afraid to go.

But if we postpone it, I'm afraid Old Lady Wei will cause trouble again and come knocking on our door.

Thinking of this, she became anxious.

Yu Tingwan glanced at the six dishes on the table.

Pickled radishes, spicy cabbage, pickled cowpeas, stewed chicken, braised pork intestines, and a fish dish.

In an era when people couldn't get enough to eat, this was already quite good.

"I go."

Hui Niang hurriedly said, "No, no, you're a new bride, you'll be made difficult if you go."

How could she bear to let Yu Tingwan suffer for no reason?

Yu Tingwan: ...

It's hard to say who's making things difficult for whom.

With persistence, Yu Tingwan swayed as she carried the money and the dishes out the door.

Unlike the joyous celebrations of other families, the Wei family's old house was shrouded in gloom.

Ever since the fall, Old Lady Wei has been in a particularly bad mood, finding fault with everything her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhuang Mei, does.

She was bedridden, eating, drinking, and relieving herself all in bed. Wei Shoucai complained about the smell in her room, so he left everything to his wife, Zhuang Mei, to take care of.

He disliked his own son, let alone his daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, Old Lady Wei was difficult to please; she would scold him incessantly all day long and take her anger out on him.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, do you think I can't discipline you just because I'm lying down? I asked you to wipe your body, who are you giving this attitude to!"

What do you mean by wiping your body?

That was clearly wiping her excrement.

Zhuang Mei gagged slightly, was that wrong?
She was very upset and threw the basin down during the New Year: "If you dislike me, then move to your second son's house. Of your two wives, Hui Niang is the best at serving people."

Grandma Wei's eyes widened; she was furious.

He picked up the medicine bowl from the stool next to the bed and started throwing it at Zhuang Mei.

Given all this, what's with the arrogance?
The couple used to coax and respect her, but it was only because she held Wei Shen's pension money in her hand.

But now all that money has been returned. And the couple still have to pay back what they've spent over the years.

Zhuang Mei had had enough and was about to have a falling out with her!
Wei Shoucai's impatient voice came from the doorway: "Alright, what's all the noise about during the New Year? Hurry up and help your mother change her clothes, the whole family is waiting for dinner."

After changing his clothes, Wei Shoucai, holding his breath, came in and carried Old Lady Wei to eat New Year's Eve dinner.

We can't let her eat in bed during the Lunar New Year.

The main room had many people, filling the entire table.

Yu Tingwan came in at that moment.

She didn't knock; she just barged in.

Grandma Wei was still angry and was planning to teach Zhuang Mei a lesson at the dinner table when she looked up and saw her.

It feels strangely familiar.

I remembered.

It was her! She was the one who covered for Wei Shen when he threw medicine in her face!

They even slandered her, claiming she was sick and that she splashed herself with water.

Old Mrs. Wei was furious: "You little slut!"

Yu Tingwan didn't tolerate her.

"I have a bad temper and I don't really respect the elderly."

Yu Tingwan said gently, "Don't be so foul-mouthed, or I'll have to dump the bowl on your head."
