My Tough Husband

CHAPTER 70

70. Brother is the Best!
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Government?! Of course we did turn to them!” When Old Man Zhou said this, he started to cry even more sadly.

Although the City of Capital was where the imperial palace was, it was exactly because of this, if the commoners got in trouble, life would be exceptionally difficult as they had no power, or no one to rely on.

Did they report to the government at the beginning? Of course they did. At that time when his parents-in-law and his husband had just been angered to death, he and his husband already reported to the government. But what about the result?

His husband was slapped 20 times in the court for being filing a false lawsuit. The government did not receive the file at all.

Moreover, they did not have any evidence to prove that his parents-in-law died because of those evil people. Those people insisted that his parents-in-law died because of illness they had been suffering from a long time ago.

His husband was punished. Since he was a she-man, he was not physically punished though, he was scolded.

Then, everything went wrong. His husband was beaten up a few days later. They knew who did it. So what? They had no evidence. There was no use even if they had evidence. They had no money or connection to the government. Even if they filed a lawsuit, they would not win.

They also thought about going to other officials because there was not only one official in City of Capital!

However, without any evidence, they got nothing from the second official. This time, they were not beaten up, but they had spent a lot of money and got nothing in return.

They had to spend a lot of money on his husband’s medical treatment. Just like that, his husband’s situation got worse and worse.

Later his husband passed away. His son was so angry that he went to confront those people, but in the end, he lost one leg forever. The problem was that his son was ambushed.

If those people broke his son’s leg in public, they could still report to the government or the Emperor even if they had to pay a lot.

However, on the day when his son went to confront those people, those people ignored him. Everyone thought that his son was making trouble out of nothing!

Even after his son broke his leg, many people said that his son was looking for it.

Ordinary people like them really had no choice. His husband had passed away. His son was in such a bad situation. And there was only a grandson.

He was really afraid, afraid that he would his only grandson…

After his son’s leg was broken, the family had no incomes. They had no hope for the government because it would be useless.

They started to focus on making a living. Because male wife Zhou had to take care of the child and his husband, he could only do some handcraftsmanship as sewing or laundry.

And Old Man Zhou started to make money from street vending.

Just like that, they started to make a living.

However, recently, when male wife Zhou went out, one of those bastards got interested in him. That bastard actually asked male wife Zhou to abandon his son and choose that bastard!

Male wife Zhou refused that bastard, of course. Then, the man brought his hand here to make a trouble! That was why his son, who was already physically ill, became more and more serious.
