Chapter 82 Don't Harm Her

"Ye Wan! You damned little bitch, you want to kill your own mother? God will make you wish you were never born!"

When Old Lady Qian saw who it was, she trembled and her legs went weak as she got up from the ground.

Ye Wan sneered, holding another sickle. "If anyone's going to die a horrible death, it'll be you first! Try cursing me again, and I'll cut your mouth off with this knife!"

Old Mrs. Qian pointed at Ye Wan with trembling hands, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

That little bitch really wanted to kill her!

Before, Old Lady Qian wouldn't have been afraid, but ever since that time on the mountain, when she saw her chop down the bandits without even blinking, Old Lady Qian became frightened.

Ye Wan scoffed, "Aren't you going to get lost? Waiting to stay for dinner?"

She suffered a loss at the hands of this old woman when she first arrived, but that doesn't mean she can be bullied again now.

Old Mrs. Qian looked at the sickle in her hand, as if it would stab her mouth if she said another word, and in the end, she ran away in a panic.

Ye Wan walked into the yard with a sickle, frowning at Ye Hua, "How can you be so spineless? You don't dare to hit her, so why don't you just dodge? Doesn't it hurt when you get hit?"

She came today to ask Ye Hua if she wanted to go with her to set up a stall and do small business, and also learn to read from her adopted father.

As it happened, it just so happened to be there.

As expected, people always pick on the weakest link. Old Mrs. Qian doesn't dare to pick on her anymore, so she picks on Ye Hua instead.

He looked at Wang Hu and said, "It seems you haven't learned what I said last time."

Wang Hu took a step back in fright and said honestly, "I didn't hit your sister, it was your mother who did. I just wanted her to give me a son. You can't interfere in our marriage!"

"Let the whole village judge for themselves, it's only natural that she married me and bore me children!"

It's one thing to stop him from beating his wife, but it's another to stop him from sleeping with her.

There's no reason in the world that prevents him from sleeping with his wife; he married her just to sleep with her.

Ye Wan felt physically nauseous upon seeing Wang Hu, even though Wang Hu wasn't ugly.

He said to Ye Hua, "Come with me, I have a place to stay."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu panicked and, disregarding the sickle Ye Wan was holding, exclaimed, "No way! She's my wife. You can't instigate her to divorce me. I will not agree to a divorce!"

"Who said I instigated your divorce? I'm going to start a small business, and if I get too busy, I'll ask my older sister for help. It's perfectly reasonable, and you're still stopping me? What kind of logic is that?"

As for when they will return, that's hard to say.

Wang Hu wasn't stupid; he knew that Ye Wan wouldn't return the person once she took them away, so he immediately knelt down before Ye Hua.

"Flower, I was wrong to hit you before. I know I've changed. Don't leave me alone."

Ye Hua was silent for a moment before speaking, "I can choose not to go, but I haven't been feeling well lately and don't want to have children, so please don't bother me."

When she first married Wang Hu, she thought she could live a good life, but this man treated her badly. He was a coward outside and would beat her at home at the slightest disagreement, which made her heart turn cold.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu quickly assured her, "Hua'er, I'll listen to you. Let's wait and see when you're ready to have the baby."

Ye Wan felt extremely annoyed by this scene and turned to leave.

Ye Hua quickly called out to her, "Little sister, it's lunchtime, please stay for dinner."

"I'm not eating anymore, I can't eat. I brought this for you on my way." Ye Wan put the box of pastries she brought on the table, turned around and left.

She made this box of pastries; she came to Ye Hua to ask her to learn how to make them.

She couldn't get herself together; what could she do?

Ye Hua sighed as she watched Ye Wan walk away without looking back. She knew her sister was angry because of her weakness.

But what could she do? Ye Wan's life was not easy, and she had three children to raise. She was already married, and she couldn't just keep causing trouble for her younger sister.

"Hua'er, what nice gift did your sister send?"

As soon as Ye Wan left, Wang Hu beamed and went to get the food box from the table.

"Snacks, these exquisite snacks must be worth a lot of money. Your sister is really something, snacks won't fill you up, you might as well give her some money!"

Wang Hu looked at the lotus-shaped pastries inside, muttered something, picked up a piece, and when Ye Hua didn't react, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Ye Hua said with a stern face, "If you don't make the same mistake again, I'll live a good life with you."

"Flower, are you serious?" Wang Hu ate another piece.

Now that Lin Anyuan has connections in the yamen and is on friendly terms with Constable Li, he really wouldn't dare to offend Ye Hua.

"really."

Wang Ming, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, dejectedly lowered his hand that was about to knock on the door.

Just as he was dejectedly preparing to go home, a voice came from behind him.

"You like my older sister?"

Wang Ming was startled and turned around to see Ye Wan standing not far away.

Ye Wan saw Wang Ming as soon as she came out. He was holding a hairpin in his hand, looked at it several times, and then put it away with a smile. It was easy to guess who he wanted to give it to.

“If you really care about her, then stop loitering around the door. If you need anything, go to my older sister, or have your grandma talk to her.”

Ye Hua is now nominally Wang Hu's wife. If she accepts gifts from Wang Ming and is discovered, in this cannibalistic world, Wang Ming might be fine, but Ye Hua will definitely be doomed.

Wang Ming blushed completely, lowered his head, and stammered, "I...I understand."

Ye Wan glanced at him before turning and leaving.

"This woman is formidable."

Wang Ming turned around and saw that his grandmother had come out sometime earlier.

Knowing she was talking about Ye Wan, Wang Ming said in a low voice, his mood dejected, "Grandma, don't say that. If she wasn't capable, how could she have supported Ye Hua?"

He actually thought it was better to be more powerful. If Ye Hua were that powerful, she wouldn't be bullied so easily.

Grandma Wang looked at Wang Ming and said, "She's right. You should go to Wang Hu's house less often, or you'll get them into trouble."

Wang Ming kept his head down, not daring to look up, "Grandma, you... heard everything?"

Grandma Wang sighed, "I raised you, how could I not know what you're thinking? It's a pity that our family was poor and delayed your marriage. If I had known this would happen, I should have sold everything I owned to marry Ye Hua."

Wang Ming glanced at Wang Hu, who had come out to close the door, and clenched the hairpin hidden under his sleeve.

"Grandma, let's not talk about the past. Tomorrow I'll go to the prefectural city to find a job."

...

Achoo!

Lin Anyuan sneezed.

"Lin Engong, have you caught a cold?" Tao Chuang hurriedly poured Lin Anyuan a bowl of hot water.

"If you want to advance in your studies, you should head to the capital now." Lin Anyuan waved his hand, telling him not to bother.

Tao Chuang spoke somewhat shyly, "Benefactor Lin, I've done the calculations, and we can still make it in September."

He is penniless now and plans to find a job copying books for others to earn travel expenses before heading to the capital.

"Where is your teacher? Without a teacher to guide you, are you sure you're not just wasting your trip?" Lin Anyuan felt there was little hope in his eyes.

Even if I pass the exam, can I become an official?
