Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 329 For the last time.

Only when the old madam Zhu and old man Zhu took their last breath did, Lang heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that she was too cruel but there was nothing else she could do, her kids were still young and even though her nephews and nieces were young as well, she knew how treacherous those kids were, if she only took care of the elderly and left them alone because she was soft-hearted, then who knows when those children would have done in the future?

She wouldn't be able to live with her children all their lives what if her nephews and nieces came to trouble her children? And more importantly, her son was now a special mer. If she didn't take care of all those who can become a potential threat to her, then who knows what would have happened, it was a good thing that she settled this matter once and for all. Though she means we're a bit ruthless, she did all that for her kids, and for the sake of her kids, she was willing to be cruel in the eyes of everyone including the mighty one.

Lang glanced at the Zhu house that was occupied by a bunch of beggars and alcoholics and covered her face with the hood that she was wearing and walked away. Now that she has taken her revenge she will be able to return home, who knows how her son was coping with his disability and Zhu Qian —— when she thought about her husband, Lang's eyes dimmed. She really didn't know what should she say to him, even though the old Zhu couple were biased and they hardly ever treated Zhu Qian like a son, he was in the end their flesh and blood.

And they were still his parents no matter how cruel they were, even though he despised them. After finding out that they were dead, her husband will still be upset because that was how he was —— he could never hate anyone for long and by now his anger must have calmed down a lot, who knows how he will react once she returns home?

Though Lang was a bit nervous, she still returned home. This was something that she would have done even if her husband stopped her, so feeling guilty toward the Zhu family was impossible, the only person she was guilty towards was her husband and no one else.

The ox cart driving to the Big river village didn't leave today as the passengers were a lot fewer thus, Lang was able to hitch a ride without much fuss from the ox-driver who would often scold her for arriving too late.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one was coming, the woman who was the owner of the ox cart sighed and whipped the behind of her ox, the ox cart lurched and the cart started driving to the Big river village. Since the passengers were a lot fewer, the cart reached its destination soon and Lang paid the rent to the driver before she walked toward the Yu family's new household.

Surprisingly, when she arrived at the house, she didn't find anyone, which made her feel a bit queasy as she walked to the backyard and finally saw the one silhouette that she has been longing for the past month, Lang dropped the bag that she was carrying and untied the dirty robe before letting it slip on the floor as she rushed to Zhu Qian who was stacking the clothes neatly in the chest at the foot of their bed and hugged him.

Even though his scent was nothing special, Lang felt all her stress was leaving her body as she took a whiff of the homely scent that has been haunting her ever since she left. If not for the sake of her son, she would have definitely never left her husband for so long.

Zhu Qian was surprised by the sudden back hug that he received, if not for the familiar warmth, he would have shrieked in shock. " W..Wife?" He threw his head back trying to see Lang's face but couldn't do it since Lang's face was buried in the crook of his neck.

" En," said Lang as she kept hugging Zhu Qian, she wasn't just hugging him because she missed him but at the same time, she wanted to apologise in advance. She knew that even though Zhu Qian say that he was fine after listening to what she was going to tell him, she knew that he would be anything but fine.

Zhu Qian took a deep breath, as he put down the shirt that he was holding in his hands and clenched his fingers that were trembling as he asked, " Then the Zhu family?"

Though she knew that this question was going to pop up soon, Lang was still a bit thrown off the loop as she breathed against Zhu Qian's neck and slowly whispered, " There is no Zhu family left, Qian'er."

" I see," said Zhu Qian as he blinked away his tears, ah, he was really an unfilial child wasn't he?

His heavy breathing and sniffing were really soft but Lang still heard them and she tentatively turned him around to face her and sure enough, her husband had tears in his eyes. " I am sorry, Qian'er."

There wasn't much she could do anyway. What she has done was already done, and there was no changing the reality, so she could only soothe her husband while he was feeling upset and vulnerable.

" I am fine," said Zhu Qian as he looked at the ceiling and breathed through his mouth, yes, he was fine. And even if he wasn't he was going to be fine, it's not like his tears will miraculously change what happened to his son or his family, will it?

" No, you aren't and I wouldn't ask you to be fine either."Lang wiped his eyes as she lowered her head and looked at her husband who was trying his best to not cry. " Cry if you want, they were still your parents, no matter what kind of human they were."

And for the last time, Zhu Qian cried for his parents.
