Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 315 How we reached to this point?

Yu Dong wasn't surprised that Lang Ru was saying such a thing to her, as far as she knew after what happened to her family, this was the normal reaction for anyone who was bullied to the point of no return. She patted Lang Ru's head and smiled, " If that's what you want then go ahead, I will increase the tasks your mother has to do and pay her accordingly, I promise you that with this alone your mother can send you to the academy as well as take care of your family."

This was the least Yu Dong could do, and since the harvest season was on their heads… increasing Lang's workload wouldn't be difficult if anything she could also ask her to chop firewood for the family, after all, they need to prepare for the winters. And as someone from the modern world, she understood the importance of studying more than anyone. If not for the policy that only women were allowed to study, she would have sent Yu Mai to the academy too—— that's right, in this world that was ruled by the women, the mers weren't allowed to enter the academy much less be given the right to study.

Even men who were the rarity of this world didn't have the right to study but since they were such rare creatures that could get a woman pregnant some loopholes were created for them. At least a young boy if talented was allowed to study in the academy as long as he passed a certain examination that was set by the scholars of the academy, which was completely different from the mers. They weren't even allowed to wander near the academy since it was a ' holy' place where scholars from all over the country came to learn and the existence of mers was nothing short of being a ' Taboo' which Yu Dong has to say was funny as hell gave the majority of the population depended on mers to give birth.

If anything mers had just as much right to study as did the women.

Lang Ru didn't know that such things were running inside Yu Dong's head, she simply bowed in front of Yu Dong to express her gratitude and then went back inside the house to tell her mother about the decision that she has reached. Once Lang Ru was gone, Shen Li who was pretending to water the plants came to stand beside Yu Dong and leaned against Yu Dong with a reminiscent sigh. " The children are growing up."

Yu Dong smiled as she hugged Shen Li who was leaning against her. " Everyone has to grow up someday, even if we don't want the day to come … time would surely pass at its pace."

Time did pass at its pace, Lang Hui who was bedridden slowly got better and better, though he still couldn't feel his legs …he didn't make a fuss. When he was lying in the shack, he thought he was going to die, so what if he lost his legs? At least he was alive and next to his parents.

Lang Hui didn't complain but that didn't mean that Lang forgot in what condition did she find her son, once Lang Hui was fine and could eat on his own... She knew that both her son and husband would be fine. So, on a murky day when the entire village was hidden inside its house, Lang got up early and sneaked out of the house as she was tying her shoes, she heard the sound of footsteps and raised her head only to find Zhu Qian standing in front of her and what was more, he wasn't even wearing a cotton jacket.

" What are you doing?" she spoke in a whispering voice clearly afraid to wake the house up, " Aren't you afraid that you are going to catch a cold——"

" Are you going to teach a lesson to my sister?" asked Zhu Qian with his arms crossed in front. His voice was mellow just like always with a tinge of hoarseness to it, since he just woke up.

Hearing his question, Lang turned silent and didn't speak anything else. She was afraid that if she told the lie then her husband was going to get angry, no matter what the Zhu family was still his paternal family and the Zhu sisters were his biological sisters… if she told him the truth, she was worried that Zhu Qian would ask her to stop and show mercy to his family. And as for lying, she has never been able to lie to Zhu Qian..not when she knew just how much he trusted her.

Zhu Qian saw that his wife was silent and sighed, he placed his hands on her upper arms sensing the anger wrapped in her muscles, and he smoothed his hands over her arms. " I am not going to stop you."

Shocked, Lang's head snapped up and she was surprised to see that her husband was crying but still looked determined. " Qian, I——"

" Don't" he shook his head with determination as he took in a cold breath. "Don't lie to me and say that you will leave my family alone after teaching them just a small lesson, I know you—— I have been married to you for more than seventeen years, and I know that you can suffer every injustice done to you but not to your family."

Wasn't it because of this that Lang went against the madam from the brothel house? She has been suffering for months but she only fought back when the madam tried to touch him.

Lang cupped his cheek as she leaned forward and rested her forehead against his. " If so, why are you crying? Does it hurt?"

He shook his head again and hugged his wife once again. " No, I am just shocked…who would have known that things would reach to this point? I am just as angry as you are but in the end, they are my family and they have disappointed me so much. That I can't help it."
