Chapter 130: Chapter 131 You Two are a Perfect Match_1
After packing up, Qiao Duo’er even made a point to gloat for a bit.
She always believed in returning the favor, an eye for an eye.
"What are you all sitting around for? Are you not selling anymore? I didn’t have enough to sell—should have known to borrow some from you. Maybe I could have made an extra thirty or fifty Wen."
Qiao Duo’er looked at the meat in the basin with pity for them.
In ancient times, when productivity was low and resources were scarce, it was unforgivable the way these people wasted food.
"You, shameless woman!" Li Clan glared furiously at Qiao Duo’er.
"Shameless refers to someone of low status and poor conduct. Our status is quite similar, but my conduct is much better than yours, so who is the shameless one?"
Qiao Duo’er was not annoyed and kept a smile on her face.
Li Clan gritted her teeth and said, "Who said you’re the only one with a braised meat recipe?"
"I never said I’m the only one with a secret braised meat recipe. What are you getting worked up about?" Qiao Duo’er responded innocently.
At the right time, Sun Erhu chimed in, "Because she stole the marinade, feeling guilty, that’s why."
Qiao Duo’er nodded in understanding, "So that’s how it is!"
"My smart wife, we’ve sold everything, but look at them—they still have so much left. Let’s head home and not get in the way of their business."
Tan Zhenghong pretended to be the good guy, but his words were stabbing knives into Tan Zhongzhong and Li Clan’s hearts.
Dare to steal his wife’s stuff, were they asking to be scolded?
"Alright, counting money every night is such a nuisance, it’s driving me crazy!"
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but complain, though it was a sweet burden.
Tan Zhenghong said with a hint of distress, "My dear wife, you’ve worked hard. Take a rest tonight, and I’ll count the money."
"Okay, then let’s have you count it."
They played off each other so well that it made those two onlookers ache with anger, yet they couldn’t get a word in.
Only when Qiao Duo’er and her group had walked a distance away did Li Clan come back to her senses, and she couldn’t help but curse at their retreating figures: "You make up lies with your eyes open, you won’t die a good death!"
Even from so far away, Qiao Duo’er heard her.
She turned around and shouted back, "The ones who steal should be more careful—don’t bump into ghosts when walking at night!"
Having said that, Qiao Duo’er continued on her way back stylishly.
She just wanted to say that some people are doomed by their stupidity. She hadn’t said anything yet, and they’d already confessed everything.
"Thinking about their angry faces makes me want to laugh. Serves them right for always scheming!" Sun Erhu said excitedly.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "What goes around comes around, that’s their retribution."
A few people chuckled softly, and after a while, Qiao Duo’er reminded, "Erhu, make sure you keep a close watch on your well from now on!"
"I know, now before I leave the house, I always set rabbit traps in the yard. Anyone who dares to sneak in will never return!"
Sun Erhu was confident in the traps he had set up. If someone was foolish enough to try stealing again, they’d surely be caught red-handed.
Qiao Duo’er gave Sun Erhu a thumbs-up; it was a good idea.
Tan Zhenghong quickly suggested, "The effect would be even better if you used wire instead of a string."
"And you could apply some chili water or saltwater on top," Qiao Duo’er eagerly added.
When the wire cuts through skin, the chili water and saltwater will really come into play, making the person float in agony!
Sun Erhu looked at Qiao Duo’er, then at Tan Zhenghong, and after holding back for a moment, finally blurted out, "You two are a perfect match!"
When it came to pranking others, their smiles were identical.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived home.
