Guide to raise my cutie husbands

"Don't tell your father that you have signed the contract of twenty taels," Ye Zexian said to Zi Mu as the two of them drove out of the Big River Village in the carriage that Yu Dong arranged for them.

Zi Mu pursed his lips and said, "But we told them that we are going out to meet your brother for business." He also did not want to go against Ye Zexian but his daddy was like a dog who could sniff money as if his nose were built to detect money and nothing else.

Ye Zexian curled his lips and then glanced at his husband with an annoyed look on his face, "Zi Mu, I am telling you this one last time. You and I need to separate from your parents. They are like leeches, it's fine if you want to raise your elder brothers, but why should my daughter work hard and raise that good for nothing, Zi Zhong?

Do you think that your eldest brother and his offspring are a family mantle that one needs to inherit and carry on to the next generation? This is enough!"

"I stayed quiet because I had no backing, but now I do have one… If you do not separate from your family, then I will divorce you and come to live with my younger brother. Even if I have to work as a servant for his family, I am willing to do so."

Ye Zexian indeed did not want to divorce his husband, but he was done with that family. The older beam was crooked, and thus the younger beam was even more crooked, as Zi Mu was the youngest and the last son of the family, no one in the Zi family cared about him, and he was forced to take care of the two brothers.

What was even worse was that Zi Mu was not as sweet-tongued as his two brothers, who caused him to be hated by Old Master Zi. He was forced to work the hardest while the other two lived with the Zi family like young masters, Ye Zexian was tired of serving that big family as if they were his masters. He was married over, not bought as a servant!

"Zexian, ah! What are you talking about? How can you divorce me? I have been married to you for so long, and we also have two children…if you divorce me, what will happen to our kids?" Zi Mu was stunned when he heard that his husband wanted to divorce him. He never brought up divorce before.

"They will follow me of course, what are you worried about? Do you think that I will leave them to serve that family of yours?" Ye Zexian sneered, causing Zi Mu to turn silent. He knew that his family was in the wrong as they treated his family like servants, at the same time he was regretful as well. If he hadn't stayed quiet, then his husband and two children would not have suffered so much.

Ye Zexian scoffed. "We are going to ask Zan Zan to take the job that Yu Dong had handed us, and then we will get separated from that family."

Zi Mu did not say anything either. He would rather not support his parents, brothers, their husbands, and children either.

The two husbands stayed quiet until they arrived at the Sand Village. However, as soon as they arrived in the village and the carriage drove to their small courtyard, Ye Zexian saw that there was a large crowd in front of his house while the Zi main family's house was closed shut.

He couldn't even see the young ones playing, which caused his heart to skip a beat. What was going on?

Worried that something happened, Ye Zexian jumped off the carriage and then walked over to his house.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What…what happened?" He asked as he pushed the crowd.

"Brother Zexian it is a good thing that you are here," his neighbour who was on good terms with him, rushed forward and pulled Ye Zexian with him and brought him in front of the crowd.

In front of the crowd was a makeshift bed and on top of the bed was a woman lying. Her face was so badly burned that no one could recognize her, however Ye Zexian was different. He was the daddy of this young woman, even if Zi Zan burned to ashes, he would still recognize her.

"Zan Zan!" Ye Zexian screamed wretchedly as he rushed ahead and fell on his knees as he looked at Zi Zan all over. Her arms, front, and face were burned until her skin turned mottled and ugly. She looked like a monster but in the eyes of Ye Zexian, his daughter looked like a pitiful woman.

Tears filled Ye Zexian's eyes as he turned to look at his neighbour Master Ma and asked, "What happened? She was fine when she left for work this morning, but now she is like this?"

Master Ma sighed and told everything that happened at the restaurant. Turned out that the master chef of the restaurant wanted to take Zi Zan as her disciple because Zi Zan was skilled despite being young. At the same restaurant worked the sister-in-law of the boss of the restaurant.

When the sister-in-law of the boss found out that Zi Zan was the one who was chosen to become the disciple of the master chef while she was kicked to the side, she was furious. Thus, the sister-in-law of the boss fought with Zi Zan and then poured hot oil on Zi Zan as she did not want her to take over the post that she wanted.

The sister-in-law of the boss knew that Zi Zan was a peasant, and she did not have any backing. Thus she did not fear anything. She wasn't even concerned about whether Zi Zan and her family found out about this incident, which was why the workers who brought the unconscious Zi Zan back had no qualms about telling the truth.

"I have been knocking on your in-law's house for more than two hours …" sighed Madam Ma before adding, "But they are pretending as if they cannot hear me. If they had given me money I wouldn't have waited for you, instead I would have taken your daughter to the town, but I have no money. You know I am poor as well, ah!"
