Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 22 ruined his plans.
But when he entered the house, he was stunned. How did the house become like this?
Zhao ran towards him with great joy. Zhang Tingyu looked around and, seeing that there were no outsiders, quickly locked the courtyard gate before embracing her in his arms.
He hadn't been home for two months, and being young, he had planned to take care of himself with Zhao as soon as he got home.
He never expected things to turn out like this at home. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to do that kind of thing in the open.
After sitting down, he held the two children in his arms and then asked what had happened at home.
Qian immediately burst into tears, sobbing and wiping away snot and tears, and said:
"This is the second time our house has caught fire. The first time it burned down completely, leaving nothing behind. We had to ask the villagers to repair the house. But just two days later, it caught fire again, and the village chief's house also caught fire."
"Was it man-made, or..."
"I didn't see anyone."
Zhang Tingyu was a little thirsty, so he said, "Tell that girl to boil some water and make me some tea. I'm dying of thirst."
Mentioning this matter made Qian feel even more aggrieved, so she recounted what had happened in the past few days, leaving Zhang Tingyu somewhat dumbfounded.
He asked, puzzled, "Has she finally figured it out?"
"I don't know. Anyway, she used your affair with Zhao to manipulate us. We had no choice but to settle her wages for the past three years. Now everyone in the village knows that she is not your wife, but a maid who works for our family."
Zhang Tingyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, since it has already happened, let's leave it at that. Don't go looking for trouble with her again, and don't push her too far so she doesn't go around telling everyone about me. That would be bad for my imperial examinations next year, and besides..."
At this point, he glanced at Zhao and said, "Go boil some water and make me some tea."
"it is good"
Zhao glanced at Zhang Tingyu reluctantly, then left without looking back.
Only then did he say to his parents, "I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What?"
"There's a family in town, surnamed Fang. They're a wealthy family with no sons but a beautiful eighteen-year-old daughter. Their son is interested in her, but the family wants to find a son-in-law, and their son wants..."
Mrs. Qian stared wide-eyed incredulously: "You want to be a live-in son-in-law?"
“Yes, you can’t get a career in government without money. In the past few years, my elder brother’s pension has been almost spent. We can’t rely on the ten acres of land at home.”
At this point, both Zhang Dashan and Qian fell silent.
They knew better than anyone how much wealth the Zhang family had, but since the Zhang family only had this one son, they didn't want him to go to another family. That way, the Zhang family would have no descendants to continue the family line, which would make them a laughingstock.
At this moment, Zhang Tingyu said in a low voice, "If our son has money and passes the imperial examination smoothly, he will be in charge after he becomes an official. Although they are rich in the town, they are still small families in front of officials. As for our sons and grandsons, Yuan'er and Rong'er can continue our family line. What's there to be afraid of?"
Zhang Dashan and his wife felt much relieved after hearing this, and then asked, "If you marry into the Fang family, will the Fang family not give us a bride price?"
"Here you go, one hundred taels."
"Only one hundred taels? You're about to become a scholar, and they're using one hundred taels to marry one? Aren't they making a killing?"
“One hundred taels is a lot for our family. If you save it, it will be enough for you to live on for many years. Besides, after our son becomes a live-in son-in-law, he will often help the family. Moreover, that wretched girl left our family and might leak the news one day. If our son becomes a live-in son-in-law, even if she talks nonsense, no one will believe her.”
"So, will they come to pick you up from your house then?"
"No, I'll only bring my own things to the Fang family. They'll be hosting a banquet, so you and Dad don't need to come. I'll just tell them you're not feeling well and it's inconvenient for you."
Zhang Dashan got anxious upon hearing this: "How can we not go to your wedding?"
Zhang Tingyu glanced at Zhao Shi, who was boiling water in the distance, and said, "If Zhao Shi finds out about this, won't she make a scene?"
When the Zhao family was mentioned, the two elders fell silent, only expressing their dissatisfaction.
"Then you have to give us that hundred taels of silver. Our family is in dire straits right now."
"Don't worry, you'll get your share. Since the house burned down, you can build a few brick houses, just enough for you to live in. The rest you can use to support your retirement."
As he spoke, he took out one hundred and ten taels of silver from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward the two elders.
Madam Qian quickly took the cloth bag, carefully opened it a crack, and saw that it contained gleaming silver. She quickly wrapped the cloth bag tightly and stuffed it into her bosom, as if afraid that Madam Zhao would see it.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dashan smiled.
"Okay, then I'll cover it up."
"Well, this way our family will become the first in the whole village to build a brick house. They'll be so envious."
Qian asked him cautiously, "Besides being rich, does the Fang family have any connections?"
"Yes, otherwise how could his son have become a live-in son-in-law? I heard that his family is related to the Qiao family in the county town, and the Qiao family knows the prefect and has connections in the capital."
"From now on, when your father and I go to town, we can stay at our son's house?"
"Not for now. You can go when I say it's possible."
Qian said with a hint of annoyance, "Alright, when will that be?"
"It won't be long."
At this moment, Zhao brought over some tea, and they quickly changed the subject to something else.
The topic returned to Xiao Nan: "Son, what do you think we should do with that bitch? Why don't you find someone to get rid of her?"
"Not now, we have to wait. I don't want any mistakes at this critical juncture. You all behave yourselves. When it's time to make a move, I will."
"Don't let her get away with this. It would be best to sell her to a brothel so that she can be ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men. Only then can I vent my anger."
Just as they were discussing how to deal with Xiao Nan, Longlong was standing next to Zhang Tingyu, listening to their conversation, and was so angry he wanted to blow his beard.
Then, with a whoosh, it returned to Xiao Nan's side: "Master,"
"Speak, what is it now?"
"Zhang's second son is back. They're going to sell you to a brothel. A brothel, do you understand?"
"A brothel is nothing, do you think they can just sell me off like that?"
“Master, he’s so wicked. I heard he’s going to become a live-in son-in-law of the Fang family in town.”
Xiao Nan returned to the house from the yard, his eyes immediately becoming sharp.
The original owner's instinctive reaction upon hearing this name was hatred. She knew that although this guy hadn't consummated his marriage with her, he had done even more despicable things to her.
Therefore, she had to avenge this grudge; otherwise, she would always feel that something was missing.
Her icy voice rang out: "Longlong, can you fly to town?"
Longlong sighed softly, "It's only within a ten-mile radius of you. So, you need to upgrade your space and actively farm. That way, more people will be able to help you in the future."
Xiao Nan took out a sheet of Xuan paper from his spatial storage, as only this type of paper resembled the paper found here.
She dipped her finger in ink, wrote some words on the paper, folded it up after the ink dried, went outside to take a look, and then glanced at the old woman who was working.
I went out from the backyard and ran along the path towards the town. I reached the town sign in one go and rested there for a while.
"Longlong, is it okay now?"
"No problem."
"Find the Fang family and put this piece of paper in a conspicuous place, making sure that the head of the Fang family sees it."
Are you trying to ruin his plans?
"Yes, I will make him lose what he wants. Only in this way will he suffer, and only then will this body feel better. Go."
"Yes, Master,"
Just as Longlong was about to fly away, he remembered something: "Master, there's sulfuric acid in the space. How about I take it with me and splash it in his face to disfigure him?"
"It's not the right time yet. I need to add insult to injury when he's down on his luck. Just throwing that on him alone won't be enough to appease the original owner's hatred."
"understood."
Longlong disappeared in a flash, and Xiao Nan, having nothing else to do, just wandered around by the roadside.
