Chapter 31
Jealous
Liu Xiaowan was holding a baby in her arms as she spoke. She looked at Zhao Zhan with eyes full of resentment, “Zhao Zhan, to think that you’re the best hunter in Willow Village. I thought you had dignity, but it turns out that you can let your wife walk over you like this.”
“Doting on your wife has nothing to do with whether you have dignity or not,” Zhao Zhan’s eyes were cold as he looked at Liu Xiaowan and sneered, “Jiaojiao is with me. Whatever she says is right.”
“You insolent-”
She was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall. Her family was poor, and she had two younger brothers who dragged her down and were waiting for her betrothal gifts.
Back then, a matchmaker had asked her to meet Zhao Zhan. Unlike the bumpkins in the village who scrummaged for food all day long, Zhao Zhan was handsome and had an intimidating aura. He had even been taught by his scholar father to be able to read a few words. What was even better was that marrying Zhao Zhan would not require her to be nagged by his mother-in-law.
Liu Xiaowan only took a glance from a distance and immediately took a fancy to Zhao Zhan.
After she went home and told them about Zhao Zhan’s situation, her family immediately tried to set them up.
She could get extra betrothal gifts, a plot of land, and a house. She was the only daughter in the family, and she could help her younger brothers in the future.
She was already prepared to fight for her family!
However, the matchmaker said that Zhao Zhan had no intention of getting married. Even the meeting with Liu Xiaowan was desperately set up by the matchmaker so that they would meet. If the matchmaker hadn’t mentioned it afterward, Zhao Zhan wouldn’t have any impression of her at all.
Zhao Zhan did not agree, so her family naturally happily accepted other betrothal gifts and married her off to some other person.
However, her current husband’s greatness only reached Zhao Zhan’s shoulders. Not only did he not have the slightest bit of masculinity, but he also listened to his mother for everything. She was married and said to be a daughter-in-law, but in fact, she was just a servant who served her mother-in-law.
Yue Jiaojiao graciously held onto Zhao Zhan’s arm and raised her head to smile sweetly at him. “Zhao Zhan, from today onwards, your reputation as a wife pleaser will be shared around. Are you okay with that?”
Facing his lover, Zhao Zhan no longer had a trace of fierceness. “It’s alright. Of course, I would listen to my wife.”
“You two have such a good relationship. My heart is going to break from jealousy.” Li Miao pulled Liu Xiaowan back and smiled to smooth things over. “As a husband, you should know how to feel sorry for others. Otherwise, what are we working so hard for all day for?”
“She’s right. Zhao Zhan isn’t afraid of me. He’s just more willing to pamper me. What is there to be afraid of? He can kill a wild boar with one punch.”
“Zhao Zhan’s hunting skills are really enviable. If it weren’t for him, we would have to spend a lot more money on meat all year round…”
“You guys take your time. Zhao Zhan and I will go to the fields to take a look at it. We also need to build a house there. When the time comes, just look for Zhao Zhan. He can make the decisions for this kind of thing.”
Yue Jiaojiao had already thought of what kind of house she wanted to build. She would tell Zhao Zhan about her idea later, and then she would just wait to move in.
Hearing that they were going to the field, Zhao Kuazi, who had been hiding behind others, rolled her eyes.
When Zhao Zhan saw the field, his face was as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. Although, he had long been suspicious of Zhao Kuazi’s decision to hand over the land. After seeing how the land had been tormented, Zhao Zhan clenched his hands into fists, his heart filled with anger.
“Zhao Zhan, are these two pieces of land ours?”
