Chapter 268 Taking in
Someone asked: "Bought it?"
Zhou’s wife: “What to buy?”
she revealed.
"When Xiang Si brought the people back, it was during the famine, and every household didn't have enough to eat. How could there be money?"
Another year of famine.
Yu Tingwan frowned subconsciously.
Wei Zhao, who stood at the gate with a calm expression, narrowed his eyes.
Zhou's daughter-in-law glanced back and forth and whispered: "I picked it up."
"Picked it up from Ze County."
"When Xiangsi brought her back, you didn't see it. She was in a mess, but the clothes she wore were bright."
Yu Tingwan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
It can be seen from the words of the Zhou family's daughter-in-law just now that the woman is definitely not from an ordinary farmer's family.
Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "Hasn't her family come looking for her in these years?"
“What’s your natal family?”
Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family: "In the years of famine, there were many people who abandoned their daughters to save food rations, and there were also many who fled the famine. Later, life got better, and I didn't see this crazy woman visiting her mother's family, let alone any relatives."
"Either we don't want her anymore, or she will probably die without surviving the famine."
"Xiang can be her father at the age of four. But it is also her blessing to bring him back and give her a bite to eat."
People who have experienced famine nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, in order to survive at that time, people were so hungry that they had to eat people."
"Without Xiangsi, she would have died long ago."
"Besides, it's not that easy to find someone."
"Even if he really found him, Xiangsi wouldn't be willing to give him back, right? If he brought him back, wouldn't he just need a wife to keep him warm? If it were me, even if he came to the door, I would still hide him."

The more Yu Tingwan listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
But sometimes, human nature is like this.
"I remember that some of the nobles who came to Beijing lost their children, and they almost turned Zexian County upside down. Even here, there are people who came here."
Someone tried hard to think.
"Yes, yes, there were people who came to my house to ask questions."
"I know! That was a high-ranking official, and now he is the Tutor. It is his daughter who is missing. I heard she was only born a few days ago."
"It's just such a powerful person who found the child later. How can ordinary people have this ability?"
A real child, Yu Tingwan listened calmly beside him.
Seeing that the woman was thin, shivering and unable to speak, and indeed unconscious, Yu Tingwan's eyes flashed with unbearable pain, and she endured the discomfort between her legs and slowly moved forward, preparing to give the coat to her. Avoid the cold.
"Don't come forward."
Someone stopped it.
"It's not good to go crazy and hurt you later."
Yu Tingwan said calmly: "No."
Last time, the woman knocked over the stall and was held down by the stall owner who scolded her harshly. She was so frightened that she wanted to run away, but she had no intention of taking action.
Even if it does.
I really thought that Wei Zhao behind me was just a decoration.
She came closer.
The woman trembled even more violently.
Yu Tingwan bent down, took off his coat and covered her with it.
There was no malice in the girl's approach, and the woman didn't show any signs of reaction. She only moved her lips and murmured softly.
"Child."
"Child."
Someone said: "Listen, even though a person is crazy, he still knows that he has a child."
"That's not right."
The Zhou family's daughter-in-law pursed her lips: "When she saw her son and daughter, she ignored them. Those who didn't know thought she was calling someone else."
She was trying to think of something.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "When you said that, I remembered that Xiangsi was the noble man who brought the child back a few days ago."
The famine lasted for many years.
But this crazy woman stayed at Xiangsi’s house...
"It's been seventeen years."
“When I saw someone holding a child, I would chase him and grab him.”
"I thought she liked it so much. But after the crazy woman gave birth, her son and daughter didn't even look at each other, and they cried and made trouble. They said they didn't look like this."
No one paid attention.
Including the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law who casually told it as a joke to everyone.
He is a madman after all.
If you don't act normally, that's okay. But Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched fiercely.
Not to mention her, even Wei Zhao's gaze on the woman became more probing.
At this moment, Xiangsi finally came over.
He came running.
"Why are you running around again!"
Xiang's forehead was covered with sweat and he was complaining.
He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit the woman, but as soon as his hand fell into the air, he took it back again.
He gritted his teeth and pulled her up.
The woman was dumbfounded.
Xiangsi was helpless: "Da Lang, help your mother go back quickly. Your little sister can't see anyone at home, so I'm afraid she will cry again."

It was his son who was calling.
He came with Xiangsi. Looking at the woman's expression, there was no trace of distress, only disgust.
He doesn't care that there are outsiders here.
"I told her, leave her alone! Why didn't dad listen?"
"Others know that my mother is a lunatic, and I feel embarrassed even when she goes out. I am sixteen, and no one wants to kiss me."
"You shouldn't have come here!"
"She should be allowed to die outside."
The woman still didn't react at all.
When Zhou's daughter-in-law heard this, she felt chilled.
"You kid."
"If something happens to her, you will have no mother."
"No matter how bad your mother is, she is still the one who gave birth to you."
The elder man of the Xiang family had a cold face.
"She didn't want to give birth to me."
"Auntie doesn't know, she doesn't recognize me when she is awake."
"Dalang!"
Xiang Si's face sank.
The expression on Xiangjia Dalang's face showed his dissatisfaction.
"I'm not wrong."
Xiangsi looked at the woman's coat and was about to take it off.
"Which kind person gave this to me?"
Yu Tingwan didn't respond, and suddenly asked: "What's her name?"
Xiangsi was stunned.
Yu Tingwan: "How old are you?"
Xiangsi always looks kind and honest.
"This...?"
He quickly apologized to the people gathered here.
"I'm really sorry."
"This hour must have woken everyone up."
"I went to set up a stall today. I originally asked Da Lang to watch his sister at home. I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be upset, so I took her with me. But I was busy with business and didn't pay attention for a while, and she..."
"I thought she ran back, but when I went back to look, no one was there. Fortunately, she was found."
The Zhou family's daughter-in-law was all moved after hearing this.
Yu Tingwan's face was expressionless: "As her husband, don't you even know her name and age?"
Her tone was very calm: "Is that true?"
Yu Tingwan: "There is no need to say how difficult it is for you. Your difficulty is caused by yourself and has nothing to do with us. No one owes you anything."
She took a step forward and blocked the way of several people.
"Without household registration, and without a matchmaker or hirer, she is not your wife. Without identity, she must not have been able to settle down in the Yamen."
"You will be jailed for trafficking, don't you know?"
Xiangsi's face suddenly fell.
"I want you to be troublesome!"
"I entered your home seventeen years ago, but the child is sixteen and has been conceived for nine months."
Yu Tingwan: "I'm afraid you forced her that night."
"Don't say it's because she feels pity for her. She's lost and has nowhere to go. It's not buying and selling, it's not walking around, she's giving her food and drink."
Yu Tingwan sneered and spoke word by word.
"Kind intentions took her in for seventeen years."
