Li Mu visited the Wei Family, and initially everyone was curious, especially since the Wei Family had been unusually active lately. But Li Mu stord out in anger, refusing to speak even when Widow Luo tried to ask questions.
Zhang Yu was even more tight-lipped, refusing to answer their questions no matter how much they pressed. She only replied that it was a normal visit, which was laughable, considering Li Juan rarely visited after marrying Wei He, except after giving birth.
This made them exceedingly curious. They were certain Li Mu ca to see Li Juan, but unfortunately, Zhang Yu subdued her, leaving Li Mu unsatisfied and storming out.
They could guess the outco, but they were even more curious about the process, it was truly nerve-wracking, what to do.
Helpless, they road around the neighborhood hoping to hear sothing, but what they overheard was even more shocking.
"The money from dividing the family, Wei He’s wife spent three hundred on clothes?"
"Not just that, Wei He gave his wife three hundred, she spent it all and even borrowed money."
"And it was all for her own clothes, neither husband nor child got any."
To spend three hundred on clothes was already shocking, as families with many mbers don’t spend this much on clothes in a year, yet Li Juan spent it all alone, wow, older folks obviously disapproved.
"When Li Juan first ca to visit, I felt she wasn’t one for family life, always dressed up, every visit in new clothes." As the main gossip, especially soone in disagreent with Zhang Yu, Widow Luo seized the chance to attack Zhang Yu.
Of course, everyone rembered Li Juan’s pre-marital visits to the Wei Family; every ti she ca, she wore different clothes, always new and fitting without patches.
Unlike other new brides joining the courtyard, this kind of girl hadn’t been seen here before. Everyone envied Li Family’s wealth and congratulated Wei He on marrying such a wife.
Now, nobody envied Wei He; they just thought he had poor judgnt marrying a spendthrift wife.
Not everyone thought Li Juan was bad; so envied her, like so young wives wishing they could dress up beautifully.
While gossip was rampant, Li Juan rushed out, startling the discussing crowd, as they knew Li Juan had a bad temper and especially since they were discussing her.
No one expected her to ignore them and rush out, and what shocked them more was the sight of a slap mark on her face.
Oh my, "No way, I didn’t see wrong, did I? Li Juan has a slap mark on her face."
"You saw it too? I thought I was seeing things."
"How could Wei the Third hit his wife?" soone asked, puzzled.
"Exactly." In the courtyard, many husbands hit their wives, but the Wei Family was different; starting from Wei Dazhi, all three generations of n listened to their wives.
Yet, the most refined Wei He had hit his wife; known for listening to his wife, even when she spoke ill of his mother, Wei He, as her son, didn’t refute, showing how obedient he was.
If not for everyone witnessing, they wouldn’t have believed it, truly hard to believe.
The crowd saw Li Juan rushing out, realizing Wei He had acted, while in the house, the Wei Family heard him hit her, and Zhang Yu, hearing the slap, initially thought Li Juan hit Wei He.
Considering Wei He is known for pampering Li Juan, Zhang Yu defined it internally as "bootlicker" behavior, thinking such people rarely hit their wives. Moreover, when Li Juan was unhappy before, she kicked the man and child.
This ti she guessed wrong, hearing Li Juan’s incredulous voice that Wei He hit her, showing that even bootlickers wake up when faced with self-interest.
Wei Dazhi didn’t like Li Juan but was still displeased with his son hitting his wife, hearing her rush out, he asked, "Honey, do you think Li Juan will go to the Li family?"
Well, Zhang Yu was certain Li Juan would turn to her maternal family; she knew that in the Wei Family, nobody would support her, "Anyway today her mom visited, it’s normal for the whole family to mobilize."
Wei Dazhi acknowledged, but soon worried, feeling intimidated by Wei He’s Yue family, aware they looked down on his own, avoiding eting when possible.
He really didn’t dare think about what to do if they visited.
What to do? Zhang Yu scoffed, "Who hit who? It’s Wei He, he’s grown up, shouldn’t he bear the responsibility?"
"He’s now capable of hitting his wife, he should face the consequences, we won’t intervene."
However, Zhang Yu wasn’t worried, "Don’t worry, if they really co over and Wei the Third exhibits the sa spirit just now, there’s no need to fear Li Family."
"Of course, unless Li Juan hasn’t deceived or wronged her parents, they shouldn’t have the face to co over." I an, whose daughter spends three hundred on clothes and still borrows money.
"That’s a bottomless pit." Zhang Yu concluded, "No matter how Wei the Third cries poverty, if the child’s tuition is short, we can lend but must repay by next paycheck, otherwise guard the finance departnt during payday." Let Wei He dare cry poverty.
Wei He happened to co out of the room, hearing Zhang Yu’s remarks, truly speechless, was he soone who borrows without repaying? But he didn’t dare argue, computing his limited money, "Mom, could you lend so money?"
"I paid six months’ rent."
"That’s only sixty." Old Bao hoped for soone to guard the house and with Zhang Yu planning to buy, rent wasn’t expensive, only ten per month.
"During the family division, you received several hundred, after deducting the money given to Li Juan, don’t you still have a few hundred?" Zhang Yu was blunt, "Don’t tell , you spent yours as well."
Wei He didn’t want to say but understood Zhang Yu wouldn’t willingly lend money without explanation, reluctantly saying, "Well, Old Bao’s furniture is shabby, and the family’s furniture couldn’t be brought."
"Adults can bear it, but I can’t let the child suffer." Wei He dared not ntion Li Juan’s dissatisfaction with Bao Family furniture, masking it as for the child’s benefit.
Ha ha ha, Zhang Yu turned to Wei Dazhi, "What a good man, husband, just like you, good to their wives."
"Then do as much as you can with the money you have."
"No lending." Having hit people earlier, now thinking of buying furniture to satisfy Li Juan, truly a good man, "Li Juan wanting good living, that’s for you two, several hundreds were given during division; moving house isn’t enough?"
"After all, you can’t expect us to resolve money issues every ti you’re in need."
