TFWYH – Chapter 109 Just Be a Little

“Who knows how she got here? Lady Wan’s family never invited her. I’d say she must’ve arranged it with Old Man Ling!”

“…” Old Man Ling shot the speaker a sullen glare. “I did not! How the hell should I know how she ended up in the second branch’s house, straddling me and bouncing up and down? I was in Yu’er’s room! What’s a so-called maiden doing sneaking into a married man’s chamber? Clearly, she has no shame!”

Embarrassing as it was, he was still a man—so in the end, he hadn’t really lost anything.

What’s more, deep down, Old Man Ling actually thought he’d struck it lucky. Young girls really were something else—skin so soft and tender it felt like you could squeeze water from it. Compared to that, Lady Liu wasn’t even in the same league.

So while he fumed, he also secretly felt like he’d gotten a bargain.

That didn’t stop him from smearing Zhang Tao’s name.

When the villagers heard this, they were floored.

So Zhang Tao’s crush wasn’t Lord Yu, but Lord Yu’s grandfather?!

That taste was… a bit heavy.

“Alright, enough! Show a little decency, all of you!” The village head was getting a massive headache. He turned back to Doctor Zhang. “Well? What do you say? By village rules, a woman like this should be drowned in the pond!”

“Drowned… drowned it is then!” Doctor Zhang finally hardened his heart, gritting his teeth. “That disgrace—I’ll just pretend I never had such a daughter!”

If you must pick someone to bed, at least find a good-looking one!

If not good-looking, then at least someone rich!

But to throw yourself at a broke old man—what the hell were you thinking?!

Not only had she disgraced him, but she’d also ruined the marriage proposal with the wealthy landlord from the neighboring village!

A rich man would never want a used shoe.

To put it bluntly, this daughter was worthless to him now.

The villagers exchanged looks, suddenly feeling a flicker of pity for Zhang Tao.

Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs!

And yet this bastard of a father was ready to send his daughter to her death.

Zhang Tao really must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to end up with such a father.

The village head himself was left speechless—he’d never imagined Zhang Skinflint could be so heartless!

Just then, Tang Wan spoke up: “No need for death. She can marry Grandpa—as a concubine.”

Didn’t she want to be a concubine?

Fine—let her be one properly!

The villagers were stunned into silence, unable to react for a long while.

A concubine? Wasn’t that like taking a secondary wife?

That was something only rich, powerful families could afford!

No one in their village had ever had a concubine before.

It was Lady Liu who came to her senses first, jabbing her finger at Tang Wan and cursing furiously: “You shameless bitch! That’s your own grandfather, and you’d find him a concubine? Don’t you have any shame?”

“Who’s shameless here? This is my daughter—a pure, innocent maiden. Your old man took her body—shouldn’t he take responsibility?” Doctor Zhang finally reacted.

Sure, his daughter wasn’t untouched anymore, but she could still fetch a price!

Better than nothing—mosquitoes may be small, but they’re still meat.

He was already calculating his profits. Lady Liu, on the other hand, was livid. She jumped up and tried to beat him.

But Doctor Zhang was no gentleman, and she was hardly a delicate flower.

Not only did she fail to land a blow, but he shoved her to the ground.

Doctor Zhang, shameless as ever, jabbed a finger at her and snarled: “Listen here! This isn’t over. Your old man took her body, which makes her part of the Ling family now. If you know what’s good for you, hand over my daughter’s bride price. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I go to the magistrate!”

“Pah!” Lady Liu spat at him with all her might. “Dream on! You think that slut can marry into my Ling family? She ought to be drowned in the pond instead!”
