Chapter 133. One Day Husband and One Hundred Days of Grace
"As the so-called one day husband and wife, always husband and wife. We have been husband and wife for so many years, since you have lived such a happy life, you can't ignore past affection and let your husband bow down to others, right?” Though Yue Chang Shou smiled gently, what he said was shameless: “Wife, it takes a hundred years of good karma to earn the chance to share a boat journey with someone, and a thousand years of good karma, to share a pillow!”
Mrs. Han slammed the cup in her hand on the table. Face full of fury, she glared at Yue Chang Shou who seemed to have lost his memory and forgot what he had done. Suppressing the anger within, she gritted his teeth and asked: " Who was it that ignored affection and wanted to sell my daughter to a rich man as a second wife? Who made my mother die from anger? And who abandoned me and went to seek refuge? Yue Chang Shou, you are too shameless!"
After listening to her daggered questioning, he had the cheek to smile: "At the beginning, Husband’s eyes were blinded by lard and thoughts took the wrong path. Husband is now a repentant libertine that is worth more than gold. . Let's live a good life in the future. Please forgive Husband this time!"
As expected of Yue Chang Shou, a person who had worked in a grocery store for more than ten years. He practiced his glib tongue to the degree it was above ordinary people. If such words were said to strangers. they may be moved until shedding a few drops of tears.
Mrs. Han wasn’t a brainless person. She naturally knew that Yue Chang Shou occasionally sought her because he saw that her life was better than his. He had had enough of the hard times and wanted to take this opportunity to stick onto her so that he can continue to cross his legs and be his Third Master! Besides, Mrs. Han's heart was already dead when Yue Chang Shou took that wh*re and left her behind in Cuifeng Village. How could she possibly soften her heart just because of his flowery words?
"You don't have to be eloquent with me here. You might as well be direct with me. What exactly do you want?" Though Mrs. Han didn't want to stay with him for a moment, she was afraid that if she angered Yue Chang Shou and nobody would know what he’ll do when being forced to a dead end. Even though he found her now, he didn't know the existence of You He and Wen Sheng Wen Yu brothers. But if he finds out that his children were in Luohe Prefecture, don’t know how messy it’ll get.
Yue Chang Shou chuckled with a ‘hehe’ and replied, "Of course I want to reunite with you, Wan Qing."
Wan Qing was Mrs. Han's boudoir name. In the past, when their relationship hadn’t broken down, calling her like this always made her happy. As he said this, he wanted to stretch out his hand across the wooden table between the two of them to grab Mrs. Han's hand.
With quick response, Mrs. Han avoided Yue Chang Shou's movements and sneered. Why didn't she see that the person she had slept with for more than ten years was not worthy of being a human being!
Coming up empty, Yue Chang Shou nonchalantly took back his hand and pointed his hand toward the sky and swore: "Wan Qing, I have really reflected. Since the first day I met you again, I have been looking for our children. Believe me, I will definitely find them. In the future, our family of four will live peacefully and happily in Dingyuan like before. You only need to enjoy yourself at home. Just let me worry about the shop matter."
"Saying so much, isn't it all for this shop?" Mrs. Han sneered. Her eyes mockingly looked at Yue Chang Shou, "Yue Chang Shou, you are really like a dog when seeing a meaty bone. At the sight of money, you pounce. I can only tell you that your daydream is going to be shattered. Use your mind. You sold my family’s shop in Dingyuan and ran away with all the money. Where did I get the money to open such a big shop?"
Yue Chang Shou was stunned for a long time by her gunpowder-filled words. It only came to him afterward. That’s right! He personally sold of Han Family’s shop and all the money was in his own hands. How did Mrs. Han come to Luohe Prefecture? How did she invest in this cosmetic shop that looked costly to manage at first glance? The more Yue Chang Shou thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Could it be that Mrs. Han latched on some rich businessman?
Thinking that the top of his head might be green, Yue Chang Shou's complexion became very ugly: "Could it be possible that you met some noble person? What did you do to get the other party to bring you to Luohe Prefecture and let you manage this shop?"
From the corner of the eye, he scanned Mrs. Han up and down for a few times. From the start, Mrs. Han wasn’t ugly. In addition, she had been nourished well in Su’s house over the year or so and appeared a little more free and comfortable than when she was in Dingyuan. The more Yue Chang Shou thought about it, the more he felt that she had put on a green hat on him. However, the anger in his heart must be suppressed. In order to live a good life, what could a green hat amount to?
"Yue Chang Shou, you are disgusting and shameless. While I do want face! Leave!" Mrs. Han was so infuriated that her face turned pale. She pointed at the gate and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't leave, I will call someone!"
For the safety of her family members, You Jin had arranged two guards to guard each of Su Family’s shops, in case someone caused trouble.
Yue Chang Shou pursed his lips and wanted to say something. But seeing Mrs. Han's hatred, Yue Chang Shou had to halt this thought for a while. Suppressing the fury burning within, he said softly: "Wan Qing, I was wrong just now. Don’t be angry, I’ll leave today and come back to see you in two days.”
During the short journey from the small tea room where the cosmetics shop served customers to the gate, Yue Chang Shou carefully examined the layout of the cosmetics shop again. While he was emotional about Mrs. Han latched onto a rich person, he also secretly hated her for being ruthless and ungrateful. She wanted to abandon him and climb to a higher branch when she was living a good life. Envy and hatred brewed in his heart. He left the cosmetic shop and almost bumped into You Bao who came to the shop today to have a look.
"What are you doing?!" Dong Zhi, the maid next to You Bao, quickly stopped the middle-aged man who was about to run into her Fourth Miss head-on. Her almond eyes widened as she scolded.
Yue Chang Shou was in a bad mood. Now he was suddenly reprimanded by such a little girl, he immediately raised his head to berate. But the clothes that the girl was wearing were not affordable by ordinary people. Also, she was accompanied by a tall guard. Right now, the guard was standing in front of him and coldly staring at him. Yue Chang Shou immediately faltered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This lowly one didn't pay attention."
You Bao glanced at the middle-aged man whose expression flickered too fast. She felt that he looked familiar but couldn't tell where she saw him. It must be someone unimportant. So She motioned for the guard to let him go: "The shop Is still doing business. Don't make trouble here."
"Yes." The guard took a step aside. Yue Chang Shou heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried away gratefully. He didn’t even realize the rich-looking girl whom he almost bumped into just now turned out to be second branch’s sixth lass who couldn't even eat enough five-six years ago.
When the people in the shop saw the owner coming, they all smiled and greeted: "Fourth Miss is here." The cosmetics shop opened by Mrs. Han and You Bao was called ‘Rouge Drunk’. Rouge Drunk mainly focused on all female’s cosmetics, soap, and dew and the likes. Due to this, the people in the shop were all women transferred from Su Family’s other businesses. They respected Fourth Miss and Mrs. Han very much.
You Bao smiled and nodded: "It's fine. You guys busy away. I just dropped by to have a look since I have nothing to do. Where is Third Aunt?"
Third Aunt cared the most about the cosmetics shop and wouldn’t leave even a single step on normal days. Why was she nowhere to be seen today?
Hearing Fourth Miss's question, the shop supervisor replied: "The man who almost bumped into Miss just now, came to find the manager for some reason. Manager still hasn't come out of the tea room! This isn't the first time he came. Every time he comes, Manager isn’t very happy. However, since Manager doesn't say anything, we dare not ask."
Before the tears from the corners of Han's eyes were wiped away, You Bao came into the tea room.
"What's wrong, Third Aunt?" In You Bao's impression, Third Aunt had always been the most cheerful and upbeat person. How could she secretly shed tears behind everyone's back? Sitting next to Mrs. Han, she asked anxiously: "What happened? Is it because the people in the shop are disobedient or the customers were rude? Could it be that person just now...?"
"You Bao, did you see him? He didn't recognize you, did he?!" Mrs. Han, who was still hastily wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, immediately guessed that You Bao happened to encounter Yue Chang Shou when she heard her mention that person just! Panic emerged in her eyes. She held You Bao's hand tightly with both hands, desperately needing to know the answer.
You Bao was a little confused by Third Aunt's nervous reaction: "Wha recognize? The man mindlessly walked and almost bumped into me. I saw him sizing our shop with an absent-minded expression. Who is he?"
Third Aunt, who was always the most calm, was now so frightened and panicked. He must be a terrible person, right? You Bao carefully freed her hand from Mrs. Han's ‘claws’ and waved it lightly a few times. Third Aunt's strength was really great!
Hearing You Bao's question, Mrs. Han suddenly didn't know what to say. The four of them had already caused so much trouble for You Jin and second branch. Now Yue Chang Shou found her, she couldn't let him know second branch was living so well now. Otherwise it would create restlessness in second branch.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Han decided to stick to her original decision - settle the matter alone. Although she couldn't help the second branch much, she couldn't keep causing trouble for them. She patted You Bao's hand, forced a smile, and replied, "It's nothing. Just an unimportant old acquaintance who came to catch up with me when he knew I was also in Luohe Prefecture."
"Really?" Don’t believe it was written all over You Bao's face. If it was an unimportant person, why did Third Aunt panic to such an extent?
Mrs. Han nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."
Although You Bao was suspicious, Third Aunt must have reasons since was unwilling to speak of it. She couldn't really force it. She just responded: "Okay, if Third Aunt encounters any troubles, you must tell us. Don't carry it yourself. After all, we are one family."
Touched by You Bao’s ‘family, Mrs. Han's nose was a little sore. She spoke: "Deal. Third Aunt knows."
She was even more determined not to tell second branch about this. The whole family treated them sincerely. They can't not repay their kindness and cause trouble to others from time to time.
"As the so-called one day husband and wife, always husband and wife. We have been husband and wife for so many years, since you have lived such a happy life, you can't ignore past affection and let your husband bow down to others, right?” Though Yue Chang Shou smiled gently, what he said was shameless: “Wife, it takes a hundred years of good karma to earn the chance to share a boat journey with someone, and a thousand years of good karma, to share a pillow!”

ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought they'd ended YCS' issue behind the scenes. 😑😑😑 😞
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, SYJ has promised her to help her taking care of it... 😑 Now, I just worry that Mrs. Han's insistence on solving this matter on her own would bring more problem to the Su that if she directly asked for help.
Ms Han was too competent for long, the author had to put some uselessness there *sigh*
ReplyDeletewhat handle herself? she just let's him ooze at her. also scared of him? which one has the guards and could ask easily for more? also not saying anything because of "restlessness"??
yeeeaah, hope You Jin remembers that she better does everything herself in this family before stuff becomes issues
Of course she's scared of him. He’s still the legal father of her 3 kids and since reputation is extremely important, she's scared he’ll ruin things for her daughter. Unless she’s ready to kill him, there's a lot of havoc that man can cause in their lives.
