Chapter 61 It's really... taking advantage.
Wei Zhao woke up at night.
Before he opened his eyes, he heard the deliberately low voice in the room.
It was Yu Tingwan's voice, and her voice was always cold but soft like a girl.
"Mom, go back to your room and rest. If your husband wakes up, I'll tell you."
"I'm not at ease, how can I sleep?"
Hui Niang looked at Yu Tingwan, with pity in her eyes: "You are busy running around, you must be exhausted, Alang, I will take care of you here, you go to my room and sleep first."
Yu Tingwan shook her head.
She was also very confused. There are quite a few baskets piled up at home, but Hui Niang wants to sell them for money. Now, she is still working with her head down in the dim light. There will be a lot of places where money will be needed in the future. If you can make one, you can make one.
Every penny saved is a penny. In addition to weaving baskets with bamboo strips, she also makes baskets, backpacks, and some exquisite gadgets. "I was thinking that Alang would go to the county town for treatment in the future. With you taking care of him, I would sell these at the stall outside the clinic." "The bamboo is cut from the mountain for free. We didn't spend much money except for some effort. If no one is interested, we can sell it at a lower price. Someone will always buy it." Her eyes were dim: "I just don't know if there will be another chance." Yu Tingwan wanted to say yes, but she couldn't guarantee it... She really felt like she was going to be a widow. The girl's eyebrows were melancholy, but when she saw the man on the couch with drooping eyelids, she burst into light. "Husband." Upon hearing this, Hui Niang hurriedly looked over, tears flashing in her eyes. She put down the basket in her hand, strode forward, and put her hands together on her forehead: "Finally you woke up, it's really the blessing of the ancestors." Yu Tingwan leaned over to twist the quilt for Wei Zhao and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wei Zhao's eyes fell on the girl's slightly red and swollen eyes, with complex emotions that were difficult to discern. It seemed that he was looking at her, but it seemed that he was not. It was unknown how long it took before he slowly moved his eyes away. "Yes..." His body had been cleaned up long ago, but his mouth was still filled with the smell of money and blood. He had vomited too much blood, and his throat was burning. Wei Zhao was a little speechless. Yu Tingwan's heart tightened. "Where?" "Is it the wound?" "Or is it hurting somewhere else?" Yu Tingwan said anxiously. "Tell me." "By the way, you must be hungry since you haven't had dinner yet. I'll go make you some wontons." Hui Niang hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go." The wontons were still the same as before, and they were filled with fish meat that had been picked out of bones and chopped into paste. As soon as she walked out, Yu Tingwan lay down in front of the bed. The girl touched Wei Zhao's head for a while, and then reached into the quilt to cover the cold hand. It was really... taking advantage of him. Wei Zhao was used to it, so he let her do it. He said intermittently: "Have you... seen... my... amulet?" Yu Tingwan: ... Maybe seeing him wake up, the tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was relieved a lot. Wei Zhao fell into a deep sleep again after eating half a bowl of wontons. Hui Niang was finally persuaded by Yu Tingwan to go back, but the lights in the house were still on. Yu Tingwan looked at Wei Zhao's sleeping eyes, thinking that she would have to go up the mountain to check tomorrow. She didn't know how Wei Shouzhong was doing. When would the mountain be unsealed ? If it were unsealed earlier, there would be no need to worry about not being able to buy ginseng in the county town. Yu Tingwan stood up to pour tea on the table. Perhaps she stood too quickly, and she felt dizzy. She supported herself on the bed with her hands to steady herself. Some images appeared quickly and clearly in front of her. This situation is not uncommon, and Yu Tingwan was not panicked as she had never seen it before. She saw herself wearing a thin summer shirt. Yu Tingwan in the picture stepped back vigilantly, trying to distance herself from Hu Yaozu who was entangled with her.
"Wanmei, I'm a juren now."
Hu Yaozu couldn't hide the smugness on his face.
"What does it have to do with me?"
She said coldly, "Don't come to me again."
"Half a year ago, my mother wanted to sell you, but it didn't work out. Why are you still brooding about it?"
Hu Yaozu was disappointed: "You have fallen to this point. You would rather stay in the new county magistrate's house than go back with us. What is he thinking of taking you in!"
"Wanmei, you follow him without any status, not even a concubine!"
Disgust flashed in Yu Tingwan's eyes.
If she didn't go back to Linxi Village, she would have no relatives around, and it would be difficult to move forward in this world.
"You are dirty, don't think that everyone in the world is dirty."
The new county magistrate was transferred from Beijing to work.
Seeing that she had nowhere to go, he left her in the mansion to take care of a seriously injured young man.
Yu Tingwan never asked about the identity of the young man, and he had been in a coma for half a year after entering the mansion.
She diligently boiled medicine for him every day, fed him to drink, and wiped his body.
The county magistrate's surname was Xiao, and he would come every day with a sullen face and grab the doctor's collar.
"Can you do it?"
"His injuries have been healed, and you can remove the scars left before. Why hasn't he woken up yet!"
"If he doesn't wake up, how can I show my ability! When I return to Shangjing, how can I blind the eyes of those playboys!"
"Can he die?"
"He hasn't paid me back the money he owes me!"
The girl was tight-lipped, and seeing her dedication, County Magistrate Xiao didn't let her sign a death contract.
Yu Tingwan is still a free man, and can still receive half a tael of silver every month. I don't know how easy her life is!
Seeing that she insisted on her own way, Hu Yaozu's face was completely gloomy.
He is now a juren, and his status is not ordinary.
There are only a few juren in Ze County.
He has seen a lot of flattery these days, and it is difficult for people to remain calm when they are in a high position.
"He's the county magistrate, what about you? Are you still dreaming of climbing up the ladder?"
"He will leave after his three-year term, how could he take you with him?"
"But you always ignore my feelings for you!"
She looked at Hu Yaozu coldly.
"You got married."
Yu Tingwan: "If it weren't for your Yue family's promotion, how could you be who you are now?"
"Why, are you going to divorce Chu?"
Hu Yaozu's expression froze, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Yu Tingwan.
"How can a scholar be ungrateful?"
"Chu is a virtuous wife, I respect her. But my sister, I think of you in my heart."
"She also agreed to let you marry into the family as a concubine."
Yu Tingwan was so angry that she almost laughed.
She always knew that Hu Yaozu was hypocritical, but he didn't have any bad intentions.
She really didn't understand how he became such a disgusting person now. "But don't worry, you are far more important to me than her. Although you are a concubine, my heart is with you."
"Do you have to let me open my heart before you believe it?"
Yu Tingwan slapped him in the face.
"Get lost!"
After shaking him off, the girl still felt sick after returning to the mansion.
But she had to go boil medicine for the young master.
She pushed the door open and saw that the person who should have been lying on the couch was leaning against the window.
He... woke up.
The wind from outside blew in, blowing his empty clothes, as if it could blow down the young master's fragile body.
He slowly raised his head, and his face was sickly pale after not seeing the sun for a long time.
It was... Wei Shen, her pillowmate.
