Chapter 162: Chapter 163 Life is So Long_1
Qiao Duo’er raised her hand, "Don’t think I won’t slap you to death!"
Tan Zhenghong’s arm shot out, and Qiao Duo’er found herself in his arms, and only then did he feel safe.
The vulnerable posture made Qiao Duo’er extremely uncomfortable, and she quickly pushed Tan Zhenghong away.
Recalling the haste of her return, she couldn’t help but scold flirtatiously, "You’re so shameless, not even closing the door!"
Tan Zhenghong glanced at the open door, "Then would you close the door?"
Qiao Duo’er sat down in a nearby chair and quickly poured herself a glass of water in the hope of cooling her face; otherwise, it’d be hot enough to fry an egg.
"How is everything with elder sister-in-law?"
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t resist complaining, "She got a divorce, being all foolish, she only took a shabby sundries space. How could anyone live in that godforsaken place?"
"If elder sister-in-law had taken more, our parents and elder brother would’ve taken revenge on her in the future."
Tan Zhenghong sighed; Hu’s Clan wasn’t foolish, but had her own considerations.
Qiao Duo’er, however, disagreed, "No matter what she does, she’s bound to have trouble in the future unless she saves up more money and moves out quickly."
"My leg is better now; I will earn a lot of money in the future, and we too will move out," Tan Zhenghong suddenly said.
"Stop thinking about getting out of bed all the time. If there is a next time, I will knock you out again!" Qiao Duo’er threatened Tan Zhenghong.
She could understand Tan Zhenghong’s desire to earn money, but what good was silver without a healthy body?
Tan Zhenghong said gloomily, "You’re working too hard."
"Life is so long, and you can slowly repay what you owe me. What’s the rush?"
Having heard what Qiao Duo’er said, Tan Zhenghong’s heart brightened instantly. He wanted to be with Qiao Duo’er for a lifetime!
Today, after being bothered by the Xiao Family and Tan Zhengyuan twice, it was already late. Qiao Duo’er complained a few more words before going out to prepare the pickled vegetables.
Unexpectedly, she was only busy for a while when Hu’s Clan came over to help. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Elder sister-in-law, you should go back and take care of Da Ya. I can manage by myself."
With a forced smile, Hu’s Clan said, "Both the children are asleep, and I’m feeling stifled alone in the room. I might as well do some work."
Qiao Duo’er nodded, there were no hard chores that afternoon, so she let Hu’s Clan be.
Hu’s Clan suddenly asked, "Duo’er, do you think I’m particularly useless?"
"Not at all, you are already doing amazingly."
Qiao Duo’er spoke sincerely. Hu’s Clan was Hu’s Clan; she couldn’t apply her own standards to her.
In this era where marriages were often arranged blindly without knowledge of one another, many lived unhappily without even the courage to voice the desire for a divorce.
They would just grow old in the day-to-day torment and finally be buried in the earth.
These women are truly tragic, spending their whole lives without ever understanding what happiness is.
Hu’s Clan gave a bitter smile, "What’s so great about me? I couldn’t even protect Da Ya and don’t have a son to show for it."
"Pride isn’t given by others; it’s earned by oneself. You become strong, and naturally, no one will dare to bully you or look down upon you."
Qiao Duo’er slowly said, a statement that applied to anyone.
Upon hearing these words, Hu’s Clan felt a rush of fiery determination.
She was determined to live hard, to make those who wronged her regret their actions!
Seeing that Hu’s Clan’s spirits had lifted, Qiao Duo’er finally felt relieved. Her biggest worry was that Hu’s Clan wouldn’t hold on, leaving behind the two children to a dire fate.
The Tan Family favored boys over girls, and anyone could guess the miserable outcome for Da Ya and Er Ya if they were left in their charge.
