Chapter 9 The Unlucky Wife 9



Wu Yuer originally thought that moving was not easy.

Choose an auspicious day and pack up the things you are going to move. It won't be a problem to move them in two or three days.

Her idea was logical, and the young man at home had no right to interfere with his wife's thoughts.

Li Lansheng acted so swiftly and decisively that no one was prepared.

The move was finalized the day before, and Wu Yuer was already standing in front of the carriage with all her belongings on the morning of the second day.

Behind him was a tall horse pulling a carriage with shiny black mane. The carriage was imposing and had arrived early in the morning.

Everyone in the village passed it on to me.

Everyone knows that the girl from the Wu family married a rich man, and his family actually has horses.

The horses that rich families own are much more majestic than the cows, donkeys, and mules that pull carts in the village.

If you don't hurry over to the Wu family to take a look and broaden your horizons, you will miss this opportunity and never see such a handsome horse again.

Thanks to the villagers shouting and yelling, there was a rare bustle in front of the Wu family's house this early in the morning.

"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, brother, I...I'm leaving."

The villagers nearby came and circled around the horse, forming teams and turning left and right.

With his hands behind his back, he stared back and forth at the horse outside the carriage that was sneezing and stamping its hooves.

When the mood struck, just watching was obviously not enough to satisfy the villagers' excitement.

However, they didn't dare to touch it, for fear that if they touched the horse's butt, the horse would drop its load and kick them away. Even if they couldn't touch it, it didn't stop them from praising it.

"Good boy, Jun!"

The two groups were whispering to each other.

Wu Yuer was reluctant to leave her new husband at the door, while the villagers gathered around the horse and praised him, without disturbing anyone.

Until Wu Yuer reluctantly said goodbye to her parents, the man next to her put his arm around the girl's waist and led them to the car.

The villagers, aware that they could not show it too obviously, smiled and watched the majestic horse pulling the young couple further and further away. Looking closely, the envy and reluctance in their eyes were almost overflowing.

As I said, the girl from the Wu family is lucky. She married a rich husband and will live a good life in the future.

Look, now she has been taken home by her husband to live in a big house, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks.

Those who were close to the Wu family sincerely held Wu Haohan's hand, happy that the Wu family had such a generous son-in-law, and that they would have a long and good life in the future.

Old Man Wu didn't say anything. Grandma Wu happened to see Grandma Lu outside the crowd, with a look of envy or jealousy in her eyes.

In my heart, the old lady who used to spit and curse at me is no longer angry, and she looks so proud on the surface.

The proud old lady made a light eye contact with her old enemy, who had failed to marry her and instead became her enemy, across the crowd. The brave one who looked into each other's eyes won.

Grandma Lu, who looked embarrassed, had just turned her eyes away when she heard Grandma Wu raise her voice and say something deliberately for her to hear.

"Our Lansheng, it's not that I, old lady, think I'm good, but my Lansheng, you're a rare son-in-law.

You've seen her looks, there's nothing to fault about them, so I won't dwell on that. The most important thing is that she has good character and is open and honest in her actions."

The old lady praised her grandson-in-law as if she were singing an opera. Her lively tone and ups and downs of speech scared the neighbors so much that they were stunned and opened their mouths.

"Most importantly, he loves his wife dearly. He stays at home every day to take care of my granddaughter, make the bed, and her cooking skills, well, forget it."

How could others not have imagined that the young man from a wealthy family, who looked so high and mighty outside, was so virtuous at home, bending down to wash clothes and cook.

According to Old Lady Wu, her grandson-in-law’s cooking is delicious.

Not to mention others, the whole Wu family, young and old, were stunned when listening to Old Lady Wu's chatter.

How come they don’t know how capable their brother-in-law, son-in-law, and grandson-in-law are?

The grandson-in-law who was praised by Old Mrs. Wu as the best in the world was now bossing her precious granddaughter around in ordering her to make the bed.

Her obedient granddaughter did her work as usual, without any sense of shame as a wife who was ordered around by her husband.

"master,"

Pingping came in with his head lowered to ask for instructions, and his voice interrupted the husband from supervising his wife making the bed, which was an act against etiquette and against the will of heaven.

Hearing the noise, the handsome man didn't even turn his head, but just stared at the back of his cowardly wife.

The young wife is like a dough, allowing her bad-tempered husband to flatten or round her.

If Wu Yuer had known that this young man had a strange temper and a changeable personality, she would never have married such a troublesome man even if she remained single.

I think so. He's already married, and as a grown-up woman, it's only right for her to give way to him.

Comforting himself in this way, he made the bed neatly.

It turned out that Pingping came to ask the two masters of the family for instructions on the lunch dishes.

When Li Lansheng saw his young wife looking up obediently after making the bed, and looking pitiful as if she wanted to turn around but didn't, the little flame of anger in his heart because she was avoiding and distancing herself from him was extinguished in an instant.

Li Lansheng is a petty and vindictive person, and he is never lenient towards people or things.

But he was very patient and tolerant towards the young wife who endured humiliation and married for the sake of the overall situation. Faced with this special situation, he seemed to be unable to see clearly.

After bullying someone, he felt good and immediately asked his wife what she liked to eat. She said there was food in the farm, but he didn't ask anyone to go out and buy it for her.

A sweet date and a stick, given smoothly and quickly.

Wu Yuer opened her mouth and ordered a dish of cured meat and wild vegetables. The man smiled, as if amused by the girl's shyness.

He approached the little girl leaning against the bed and grabbed her hand, which was twisting her skirt tightly in discomfort.

The little hands clenched in the palms, the calluses of labor.

The young man who was taking her out to find the way didn't say anything, but he felt so distressed in his heart that he rubbed the calluses on the little girl's palms.

After lunch, the two of them had eight dishes, which was much more luxurious than at the Wu family.

The rice was of the best quality, and the dishes included both meat and vegetables. After the meal, the waiter in the room brought in a few plates of fruit and snacks.

The snacks on the plate were so novel that Wu Yuer had never seen them before.

She is like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything she eats and uses is the best, something she has never seen before. But she is not happy.

After the meal and tea, Pingping came in with a small box, followed by a servant carrying a basin.

The little girl looked over curiously, but the hunched servant didn't dare to look at his master any longer.

Li Lansheng ordered Pingping to open it, and the small porcelain bottle inside was taken by the young man.

The servant burned his hand while serving Wu Yuer, and the little girl then realized that her husband with a bad temper was concerned about the calluses on her hands from working hard.

The others in the room had already been signaled to retreat, leaving the young newlyweds in the room.

The young man held the girl's hand, and his delicate fingertips, stained with the fragrance of herbs, brushed across Wu Yuer's palm.

The numbing touch went straight into her heart from the palm of her hand. Wu Yuer's eyelashes trembled, and her absent-minded eyes fell on the young man sitting opposite her.

The small couch for rest is next to the window, and the spring breeze blows in through the open window lattice, bringing in the gentle breeze and rising sun.

The sun shines on half of the man's face, half of which is bathed in sunlight and the other half is hidden in the shadows. What remains unchanged is his outstanding eyebrows and clean jawline.

As Li Lansheng applied the medicine, his usually arrogant features revealed a rare tenderness for the first time, and Wu Yuer was almost stunned.
