Chapter 1014: Chapter 1019: What Does It Mean?
"Brother Hong, you just hunt whatever sister-in-law wants to eat. If she craves something specific, just tell me, and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out when I’m hunting,"
Sun Erhu advised.
When he hunted now, his subconscious always clung to game suitable for making soup, all to nourish his sister-in-law’s health.
However, Qiao Duo’er was very picky and her tastes changed rapidly; he could never pin down what she liked.
Tan Zhenghong was extremely grateful, "Thank you."
"No need for politeness between brothers. You have guests at home, so I’ll head back first,"
After Sun Erhu left, Wang Yun reminded him, "Ah Hong, your status is different now. You should make connections with Noble Persons who can be useful to you in the future."
It’s better to cut ties with those country bumpkins early; otherwise, they’ll drag down your status.
"My life is set as it is, regardless of Noble Persons or not,"
Sun Erhu had been with him through many hardships. Saying they had depended on each other for survival was not an exaggeration, and he was much more important than those other people.
Wang Yun couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Tan Zhenghong was still as block-headed as when he was a child. He was wasting good opportunities that came his way.
Why do all the good things end up in the hands of someone who doesn’t appreciate them?
What infuriated her the most was that Tan Zhenghong dared to contradict her!
This anger made Wang Yun forget all about honoring her father.
It wasn’t until dinner that she remembered.
"Ah Hong, I want to go back and visit my father. Could you accompany me?" Wang Yun looked at Tan Zhenghong with hope.
Tan Zhenghong was taken aback, then said, "I won’t go this time. The house can’t be left unattended, and I just visited a while ago. This time, you have your brother-in-law and Zi Jun to accompany you. Uncle will surely be happier."
Wang Yun’s left hand clenched into a fist under the table. Tan Zhenghong had changed!
Once upon a time, Tan Zhenghong would sneak over to the Niu Family to check if she was doing well. Now, she supposed that even if she died, Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt.
And the source of all these changes was Qiao Duo’er!
Hmph, her father had said she would have an additional support in the future, but in the end, she ended up raising another woman’s husband.
"I still hope you can go. When dad was alive, he cared the most about us siblings."
Wang Yun spoke softly, trying to persuade him, but her determination was growing stronger.
She wanted to compete with Qiao Duo’er and see who weighed heavier in Tan Zhenghong’s heart.
Tan Zhenghong was resolute. He would not sacrifice Duo’er and the children to fulfill his own filial obligations.
Moreover, he visited his uncle’s grave every year and had a clear conscience.
In order to express her anger, Wang Yun and her family left Big Willow Village early the next morning.
The only way she could gain more benefits from the Tan Family was to pull Tan Zhenghong to her side.
The obligations he owed her father for raising him were her biggest bargaining chip.
It has to be said, her methods were effective, because Tan Zhenghong was a bit panicked.
Qiao Duo’er had just woken up when Tan Zhenghong talked to her about what had happened.
"My cousin is angry; did I do something wrong?"
Before his uncle passed away, he had entrusted Tan Zhenghong to take care of his cousin, but he seemed to have failed.
"Look at you playing the fool. She’s trying to trap you with this, and you’re seriously considering jumping into it?" Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at him.
Tan Zhenghong scratched the back of his head, "What do you mean?"
"You still think your cousin is the same naive girl from before? She’s been in the back house for years, where the matriarchs are fierce. She’s the only one who can give birth to sons, and she has Niu Fuquan’s heart in her grasp. You think she doesn’t have any tricks up her sleeve?" Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow.
