The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 84 Did you miss me?
A smile, unnoticed even by himself, flashed in Wei Zhao's eyes as he turned to look at the oxcart.

The old ox was indeed very thin.

He didn't see the blue crow, so he was afraid it had gone up the mountain again.

Wei Zhao's lips moved slightly: "Was it given by the village head?"

Yu Tingwan nodded vigorously.

Wei Zhao: "That shouldn't be the case."

It was a remote mountain village after all. The village head was narrow-minded and cautious. Although he valued profit, he was not bad. He always put the neighboring village to the west first.

If it were said that he had taken the initiative to lend them the carriage, Wei Zhaoxin would say so.

You could say he just gave it to him...

This doesn't seem like something a village head would do.

Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you ask for it?"

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips, somewhat reluctant to speak.

She turned her face away.

Wei Zhao: "Understood?"

Yu Tingwan: "What do you understand?"

Wei Zhao: "It must be that he couldn't stop it."

Yu Tingwan: ...

Feeling guilty, she lowered her head to look at her helplessly fidgeting hands.

Yes!

They couldn't stop them!
The village head valued the reputation of Xilin Village the most.

Such a disgraceful act must be severely punished! As a warning!
We absolutely cannot be too lenient.

He had just begun to think that Yu Tingwan's words made a lot of sense when he saw the girl walking out, towards the door...

"you?"

The village head frowned: "Where did you get your confidence from?"

Yu Tingwan said innocently, "It was arranged by the Zhou family."

Village head: ? ? ?
"Who gave you permission to hold my hand?"

Yu Tingwan: "I want it."

The village head tried to reason with her: "That's not you..."

Yu Tingwan: "I want it."

Yu Tingwan glanced at the sky and said gently, "Alright, no need to see it off. I'm taking it back for dinner."

Yu Tingwan was really eager to go home.

She felt even more strongly that she had a connection with this cow.

Could Ke Li really let her pull him away? He chased after her right then and there.

Yu Tingwan thought of something.

"Oh, right, I came here today to bring persimmons to my mother-in-law."

The village head looked over and said, "You've put your heart into this."

But he saw that the girl's hands were empty.

Yu Tingwan felt a little embarrassed.

"I've finished eating it."

After all, catching someone cheating is too exciting, and I didn't have any melon seeds in my pocket.

Yu Tingwan said, "I'll make it up tomorrow."

Village head: ? ? ?
I've never seen such a person.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it.

The village head tried to calm his anger, which had been fueled by the Zhou family's father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and spoke to the young girl relatively politely.

“If you found money outside, I wouldn’t say anything. But this oxcart belongs to someone else. Taking it without asking is theft.”

Yu Tingwan nodded seriously: "Yes. You're right."

"Then why don't you return it?"

Under the village head's gaze, Yu Tingwan shook her head.

She understands the道理 (principles/reasons), but she won't listen.

They're so obedient and well-behaved, always looking at you with those big, bright, doe-like eyes. Even the most hard-hearted person wouldn't be able to utter a harsh word.

She slowly raised her eyes.

The girl held onto the rope, showing no intention of letting go.

"According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, adultery can be dealt with at will without having to be reported to the government."

“I heard that in the north, there are cases of sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law getting together, and it was their clan chief who intervened to resolve the matter.”

Yu Tingwan spoke calmly and slowly: "That clan chief is impartial and incorruptible, and he can't tolerate this kind of thing."

"He then ordered the woman's tendons to be severed, and she to be put into a pig cage lined with stones and sunk into the water. The adulterer was then beaten to death with sticks. The clan chief was afraid that the punishment was too lenient, and that others might take chances. In order to make the men in the clan control their lower bodies and take this as a warning, he ordered each of them to be beaten ten times, until the adulterer was turned into mincemeat before he would stop."

"I think the Zhou family's affairs are far worse than those of that uncle and sister-in-law."

"When all things go well, one should not be dishonest, for there are gods watching over us. Once people develop greed and desire, they will lose all sense of shame. If such things are simply kept quiet and not severely punished, they will surely lead to great trouble."

"If left to run rampant, it will inevitably become a disaster, endless and uncontrollable." "The punishment should be heavier than theirs. They should be made an example of, severely punished in front of the whole village!"

Yu Tingwan: "They brought this upon themselves. I haven't settled things with them properly regarding my affairs and Xiao Niang's affairs yet, and I've already been very reasonable."

"Being schemed against by this kind of person is not our fault, nor is it Xiaoniang's fault that she deserves to die."

Yu Tingwan: "The yamen's failure to handle the matter is due to the county magistrate's inaction. It doesn't mean that this matter is completely over and that my Wei family will let it go."

"I'm making this clear today: the He family will suffer sooner or later. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."

She paused slightly at this point.

He didn't pay attention to the expressions on the faces of those present.

The girl spoke gently as always: "Since these two are going to die sooner or later, the oxcart is ownerless. Who does it bother if I take it with me?"

Yu Tingwan looked around.

"Or is it that everyone has a problem with this?"

Yes, they have that too.

Who wouldn't want an oxcart?

But when they thought of the Wei family's plight, the Zhou family's despicable nature, and what Yu Tingwan had just said, they thought of the Wei family's misfortune.

The girl clearly felt that beating Old Man Zhou into mincemeat was too lenient a punishment.

They were saying the harshest things in the gentlest tone.

"No no."

“You can take it away. Take Alang to town later. If you don’t know how to drive an oxcart, I’ll have my Sanlang take him.”

"It's getting dark, be careful on your way home, Madam."

Granny Fan's eyes widened in disbelief!
Why should Yu Tingwan get to monopolize the oxcart?
She was about to curse, but when she saw Shangyu Tingwan's deep eyes, she immediately calmed down.

Just as Wang Cuihua said, this little fox spirit is indeed strange and wicked!
Her face still hurts, it's all swollen!

The village head hesitated for a moment, and since no one had any objections, he wouldn't dwell on the matter.

He stopped Yu Tingwan earlier because he was afraid the villagers would gossip behind his back, saying that he was biased towards the Wei family.

He closed his eyes briefly, inwardly sighing with regret. If the girl had married Yaozu, she would definitely…

"Let's go."

Yu Tingwan's eyes were bright.

She sincerely said to everyone, "You are all such kind people."

The light was dim at the moment. But the girl was making a lot of movements.

Wei Zhao knew he had guessed correctly.

That's true, it's not surprising.

He had just lowered his eyes when Yu Tingwan strode over.

The girl placed her hand under the window, her face serious and stern.

"Are you behaving yourself at home while I'm not here?"

Wei Zhao:......

You should ask the mischievous child.

He didn't reply.

Yu Tingwan: "You've taken all your medicine, haven't you?"

Wei Zhao moved aside, letting Yu Tingwan look at the empty medicine bowl on the table inside the room.

The girl was very satisfied with this.

Others are still enjoying the honeymoon period after a short separation, but she's been gone for a whole day.

Yu Tingwan thought for a moment.

She looked up and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Wei Zhao's lips moved slightly, and he said indifferently, "No."

Yu Tingwan: "Okay."

Her reply surprised Wei Zhao.

The girl is easy to deal with right now.

I just had this thought.

Yu Tingwan: "But I miss you."

Actually not.

She was happy all day.

But she wants to cultivate a relationship with her husband.

Wei Zhao looked at her expression.

The girl spoke these words without any change in emotion.

This doesn't sound like a typical wife saying sweet nothings.

fraud.

The scammer even winked confidently and said, "So, you should reflect on your actions."
