With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 132: Husband, don't you think he is handsome?
Half a month later, the sky cleared up, it was still cold, but compared to before, it showed signs of warming up.
Since that night, Wei Zhao has been particularly free.
Yu Tingwan had just boiled the medicine and brought it out from the kitchen, and saw Wei Zhao standing in front of the window.
After taking the medicine for a while, his face had some color and looked much better. But because of the acupuncture, he endured too much pain, had no appetite all day, and couldn't eat.
The wind blew, blowing Wei Zhao's loose hair. He stood there coldly, and he had lost a lot of weight.
But he could get out of bed.
Although he couldn't stand for too long, he was shaky when he walked.
Yu Tingwan frowned, and was about to say that it was cold and he should go back and lie down! When he saw a blue crow flying in from outside, circling in the air, it flapped its wings and flew towards Wei Zhao.
It landed steadily.
Wei Zhao raised his eyes to look at Yu Tingwan, and untied the letter tied to the claws of the blue crow without any reservation.
After opening it, he read ten lines at a glance.
After doing all this, he destroyed the body in front of Yu Tingwan.
Wei Zhao: "Did you see anything?"
Yu Tingwan handed the medicine over and spit out two words.
"No."
Wei Zhao snorted and laughed: "Okay."
Anyway, Yu Tingwan is not blind, she just doesn't want to admit it, so let her be stubborn.
Since Hui Niang left, Yu Tingwan has been cooking. The girl's cooking skills are not good, so she can't make anything fancy, but it's edible.
Seeing that he drank the medicine, Yu Tingwan took the backpack, went to get the wheelchair in the corner, and pushed Wei Zhao out.
When passing by next door, the door of the Zhao family was open, and Mrs. Zhao was sweeping the yard with a broom.
Hearing the noise, she looked up. It wasn't surprising to see Wei Zhao wrapped tightly in the wheelchair.
"Going out to buy groceries again?"
Madam Zhao said teasingly, "After all, newlyweds have a good relationship, and they stick together even when they go out to buy groceries."
Yu Tingwan was not embarrassed and nodded seriously.
"Auntie is right, I agree."
She looked around: "Where is Nannan?"
Madam Zhao said, "There are fewer people coming to Ze County to file complaints these days, and those who need to register have almost all registered. The post station is not so busy. Your uncle Zhao is bound to be free. Nannan is clamoring to go out again, so I took her to go around."
Knowing that the Wei family had also registered, she revealed, "The nobles who went to Beijing will arrive today, and now the prison is blocked three circles inside and three circles outside. They are all anxious for justice."
Yu Tingwan knew what was going on, thanked him and exchanged a few words, then pushed Wei Zhao to continue walking forward.
The alley was very deep, with four families living in it. The Zhao family and the Wei family were close to each other at the back, and Yu Tingwan had never been to the two families in front near the street.
Usually when she passed by, the doors of the two houses were closed.
She had specially inquired about it.
Wang Yazi, who sold her the house, did not dare to hide anything.
He only said that the first family's surname was Liu, and they opened a few tea shops and did small business. They usually lived in the shops and only came back for a few days a month.
The people of the second family moved out not long after they moved in.
But now it is not empty either, and was bought by a pair of brothers who go out early and come back late. Wang Yazi was not very clear about the details.
Madam Zhao thought of something and chased after her.
"Wan Niang, wait a minute."
Yu Tingwan stopped.
Madam Zhao stepped forward quickly and looked around: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. The Liu family in our alley will move back tomorrow."
Yu Tingwan asked: "Aunt, do you think we will see each other sooner or later, so you want me to go back and say hello?"
"No!"
Madam Zhao said hurriedly: "You'd better be careful."
"Although the Liu family's business is doing well, it is the daughter of the Liu family who is really in charge. She is very strong, and everyone in the Liu family listens to her. But she has high standards, and she dislikes this and that. She looks down on the person introduced by the matchmaker, so she has never married and has become an old maid."
"What if she falls in love with your man? It's better to have less trouble than more. When you go out in the future, you'd better cover his face."
Wei Zhao did not respond.
Yu Tingwan waved her hands after hearing this: "I thought it was nothing."
"Auntie, put your heart at ease."
Let's not talk about their identities. Wei Zhao has these things. Since the Liu family girl is so picky, how can she be interested in him?
Even if she really likes him, it is not Wei Zhao who will suffer.
Madam Zhao walked back in a daze.
Yu Tingwan did not take the Liu family girl seriously at all. She said to Wei Zhao: "The people in the alley in front have been in chaos and noisy since they lost their rice jars and money. Fortunately, it is quiet here. The Zhao family next door is easy to get along with. Although the family in front does not have any contact, there is no trouble either."
"I just don't know where the brothers came from."
Wei Zhao: "Want to know?"
Yu Tingwan: "Ah? " Wei
Zhao: "My people."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Wei Zhao: "You have seen them too. They made hidden weapons for you before."
Yu Tingwan was about to cover his mouth.
Wei Zhao said calmly: "I sent them all out to do things. Among them, there are those who hid in the dark and escorted the parents of the Wei family out of Ze County."
Yu Tingwan's hand fell in the air.
She was still muttering not long ago.
["The two elders should be here. I don't know what the situation is. I told them before they set off. No matter how difficult it is, they should send a message. Why haven't they made any movement yet?"]
["If I had known, I would have gone too and let mother look after you at home."]
["Dad is sometimes bound by too many rules and filial piety. Otherwise, what happened to Xiao Niang, Wei Shen..."]
She quickly changed her words.
【"How can your case be just a simple division of the family? We should have no contact with each other forever."】
【"If I were the father, no one would be happy if I didn't live well. Since we have had conflicts, Old Lady Wei can't use the issue of having children to control me. I have also completely fallen out with the eldest wife a long time ago. No one can say anything."】
【"As a person, you still have to be cruel and ruthless when necessary. I can do it, but I'm afraid my uncle, aunt, and parents can't."】
Now that she heard Wei Zhao say that he had sent someone, the girl was completely relieved.
The streets were as noisy as ever.
Yu Tingwan went straight to the butcher shop.
The people in the county are better off than in the countryside, and they always get some meat every month to satisfy their hunger.
When it was Yu Tingwan's turn, there was not much pork left.
The best pork belly was sold out.
But there were two shanks left.
This thing has no meat, and no one will buy it.
But last time Hui Niang stewed the shanks for a long time, the soup was milky white, not to mention how delicious it was, and the bone marrow inside was the essence.
Yu Tingwan took a fancy to it.
"I want all the pork ribs, help me chop them."
The butcher had a sloppy appearance and bulging muscles. He held a sharp kitchen knife in his hand and chopped the pork ribs on the chopping board.
Yu Tingwan paid the money, put the pork ribs in the backpack, and walked away.
"Husband, do you have any dishes to eat?"
Wei Zhao said in a very indifferent tone.
"You just looked at the butcher four times."
Yu Tingwan: "Ah?"
Yu Tingwan: "Husband, don't you think he is handsome?"
