The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 67 I am a normal man
Yu Tingwan reflected on it for a moment.

This is inside the house, not outside. Wei Shen is her man, and he's not an outsider.

no problem.

He's making a big fuss over nothing!

It's all wet; it would be so cold if I didn't take it off.

Wei Shen is still not considerate!

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips.

Even if they haven't consummated their marriage, she's been living and eating with Wei Shen for some time now, so they should have developed some feelings for each other by now.

She had at least escaped from the jaws of death, yet Wei Shen didn't even offer a word of concern.
He not only didn't care, but he even minded her being naked.

Is it not good-looking?
Yu Tingwan looked down at herself in confusion.

Her skin was as delicate and fair as a fresh lychee.

She was only wearing thin underpants on her lower body, the legs of which were too short, revealing her ankles that were red from the cold, and on her upper body, she was only wearing a drab gray undergarment.

But if you look closely, you can see that it has been washed and turned somewhat white.

The bellyband was made last year. My daughter changes every day. Now it doesn't fit her anymore and is very tight, outlining her beautiful curves.

His chest was bulging, as if it was about to burst out.

Normally, the girl wears many layers and looks clumsy. But now, her slender waist is exposed to the air.

If it were any other girl, she would have been too ashamed to face anyone if her husband avoided her like this.

It is possible that Yu heard nothing that evening.

What does it have to do with her if Wei Zhao doesn't get to see the sight?

The fire in the basin inside the house was burning charcoal, which was fueled by burning firewood in the kitchen. It was much more convenient than the firewood that Yu Tingwan used before.

She picked up the long-nosed fire tongs next to her and poked at it to make it burn brighter.

Having done all that, Yu Tingwan expressionlessly took off her undergarment.

After drying herself with a cotton cloth, she looked around and walked towards the bed.

If her hair hadn't been so dirty, Yu Tingwan would have climbed onto the bed and snuggled under the covers to keep warm. But for now, she had to settle for second best and go get the cotton-padded clothes from the wooden shelf beside the bed.

That's what Wei Zhao usually wears.

Yu Tingwan's teeth chattered, but she didn't hesitate to put on the bandage tightly.

Wei Zhao was tall and large, and the cotton-padded coat made it look like a child wearing an adult's clothes. Seeing that it made it difficult for her to move around, Yu Tingwan folded down the cuffs and trouser legs.

Hearing the rustling sound of someone getting dressed, Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

You can see what Yu Tingwan is wearing.

His slender figure, concealed beneath the cotton-padded coat, was someone he had glimpsed not long ago. His eyes darkened slightly, and his throat tightened.

"Mom."

Hui Niang knocked on the door from outside.

"I've made some ginger soup for you to warm you up. Is it convenient for you to come in now?"

Sure enough! Men are unreliable; when it really matters, it's the mother-in-law who's the best.

Yu Tingwan ran over to open the door.

The ginger soup had a pungent smell, but it contained brown sugar. After a few sips, I felt warm all over.

She smiled at Hui Niang and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Hui Niang didn't think there was anything wrong with her outfit.

However, she frowned. The cotton-padded coat she had promised to make for Yu Tingwan had been delayed again and again because she couldn't go to the county to buy the fabric.

When the girl married into the family, her bundle contained very few clothes, and she never had a change of cotton-padded clothes.

Hui Niang: "The hot water is ready. Where would you like to wash?"

It's no wonder she asked that question.

The house is small and there is no separate washroom. People in the countryside usually put up a curtain inside the house to separate themselves from the bathroom.

After Yu Tingwan married into the family, Huiniang was worried that the young lady was too clean and shy, so she put a newly made wooden tub in Xiaoniang's room next door for her to use.

There were also soap pods and hand ointment that the girl used to apply every day; it was quite complete.

But now Yue Shan lives in that house.

Yu Tingwan had been washing at the old house for the past few days.

Hui Niang could tell from the weariness and exhaustion in her eyes that she was exhausted.

Even though the old house was right next door, Hui Niang couldn't bear to see her daughter brave the wind and snow again.

"Look, how about we go to Mother's room to wash?"

She simply carried in the girl's usual bath tub; it didn't take much effort.

Yu Tingwan really didn't want to move anymore; she was too exhausted and her head was still aching.

She just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep.

He opened his mouth to agree, but then remembered something.

"No need. Mother, I'll wash here."

She didn't even want to go to her in-laws' house anymore. Wei Zhao: ?
He sat up, his gaze heavy.

Hui Niang looked at Wei Zhao, then at Yu Tingwan, feeling both heartache and immense relief.

Who says her daughter-in-law isn't a down-to-earth person!

"I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable."

Yu Tingwan said, "I won't."

Hui Niang: "Okay, Mother will bring the water and buckets in right away."

She was about to leave.

Wei Zhao said quietly, "I will."

Hui Niang paused in her steps.

Seriously, Ah Lang must have been incredibly lucky to marry such a wonderful wife.

She pretended not to hear that and strode out.

As soon as she left, Yu Tingwan glanced at Wei Zhao.

The girl was puzzled.

"How could you..."

She organized her words.

"She's quite a chaste and virtuous woman."

She said helplessly, "It's like I can't do anything to you."

Hui Niang moved quickly, carrying in the wooden tub and adding hot water inside.

She bent down to pick up the clothes from the ground.

Yu Tingwan quickly said, "Mother, I'll wash it when we get back."

Hui Niang said gently, "Go and rest after you're done washing. I'll take care of these things. After you wash them, take them inside and let them dry overnight."

I'll call you when the food is ready later.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Tingwan gently called out to her, "Mother, why don't you stew the ginseng for my husband?"

Hui Niang always responded to her words: "Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Hui Niang froze, afraid she had misheard.

What are you stewing?

Yu Tingwan's eyes and brows shone with a bright smile.

"Wild ginseng".

She pulled Hui Niang to look at the basket placed in the corner.

"Mother, look, these are all highly nourishing medicinal herbs."

"On my way back, I was afraid that the villagers would see me, so I covered myself with wild vegetables from the roadside. I even took a longer route."

She understands the principle of making a fortune quietly.

Most of the villagers in Xilin Village are good, but there are also some with ulterior motives.
With Wei Shouzhong not around, what would happen to her and Huiniang, two women, if someone sneaked in at night?

It's no wonder Yu Tingwan was cautious.

Hui Niang's legs went weak at the sight of all this, and she quickly and cautiously turned around and closed the door.

She breathed shallowly, afraid of misreading, and tried to pick it up to take a closer look, but she pulled her hand back halfway and wiped it vigorously on the hem of her skirt.

Only then did he take the ginseng that Yu Tingwan brought over with both hands.

That’s right.

She felt lightheaded, as if walking on clouds, yet she was also worried that she might accidentally fall from the clouds.
She was dazed: "These...these were all picked from the mountain...?"

Fearing that Hui Niang would worry, Yu Tingwan did not mention the tiger.

"Yes."

Hui Niang fell silent.

Yu Tingwan is truly a lucky star for the family!

It would be difficult to find so many even deep in the mountains!

It's clear that Ah Lang's life wasn't meant to end!

Hui Niang, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, carried the clothes and ginseng out.

The room was filled with steam and mist.

Yu Tingwan dragged her heavy steps over.

Wei Zhao's voice sounded from behind, his tone calm but carrying a warning.

"No matter what, I'm still a normal man."

Yu Tingwan was baffled.

But she's still not happy right now.

She replied dismissively, "If you say so, then so be it."
