Chapter 187: Chapter 189: Are You Blind?!_1
"Wife, I caught a mountain muntjac today!"
Tan Zhenghong said happily. A mountain muntjac is a type of deer. Although it is small, it is very valuable.
Many wealthy families are willing to pay good money for one, a thirty-pound mountain muntjac could sell for at least twenty taels. The one he caught was also a male, which meant it could fetch an even higher price.
Qiao Duo’er said excitedly, "Not bad, a big harvest today!"
He carried two pigeons in his left hand, and on the right, he held a thirty-odd pound mountain muntjac that was still alive, just injured in the hind legs by an arrow.
"Wife, from now on, leave the task of making money to me. You just need to be happy!"
At this rate, he would soon be able to save enough money to build a new house.
Tan Zhenghong secured the game and then sent Qiao Duo’er away.
"A hideous creature has a better life than me!" Li Clan grumbled sourly.
She, a pregnant woman with a bulging belly, didn’t get as good treatment as Qiao Duo’er!
Qiao Duo’er smiled slightly, "Can’t help it, when you marry a good man, it’s hard to be unhappy!" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
As for those who called her ugly, she could only return with, "Are you blind?"
Now, although she hadn’t fully recovered her original appearance, she had done so by roughly seventy to eighty percent. Not to be narcissistic, but she was at least prettier than eighty percent of the women in Big Willow Village.
And she found that her appearance in this life was nearly identical to her last one.
Li Clan gritted her teeth, "Humph, What are you showing off for? You’ve been married for three months and haven’t gotten pregnant!"
She believed that Qiao Duo’er just couldn’t have children!
Tan Zhenghong, who was making a fire, cleared his throat uncomfortably. It wasn’t that his wife couldn’t conceive, but that they... hadn’t really done that ’shameful’ thing yet.
Alas, if others knew about this, would they think there was something wrong with his body?
"You can have children, Tan Zhongzhong married you to bear children, didn’t he?"
Qiao Duo’er hit back without hesitation. It wasn’t that she wanted to argue with a pregnant woman, but Li Clan was too much.
She didn’t want to hold accountable the things Li Clan had done before, but now that Li Clan kept nagging, she couldn’t bear it anymore!
Li Clan clenched her teeth and went into the house, holding her lower back.
Soon, Li Clan’s nagging could be heard from inside the house. It boiled down to complaining that Tan Zhongzhong was useless and didn’t know how to care for his wife.
Qiao Duo’er, meanwhile, circled the mountain muntjac, and looking into its round eyes, she suddenly couldn’t bear to kill it.
No, that’s not right. Was she still the resolute and decisive Qiao Duo’er?
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips but couldn’t help asking, "Tan Zhenghong, I want to keep it. Can I?"
She attributed her reluctance to feeling an affinity for the eyes of the mountain muntjac.
Tan Zhenghong paused, then responded, "Hmm, but it has to be raised at Erhu’s house."
Qiao Duo’er nodded, understanding, of course.
The only thing she and Tan Zhenghong had control over was a single house, and she certainly didn’t want to sleep in the same room as the muntjac.
Tan Zhenghong wanted to tell Qiao Duo’er several times about the price of the muntjac, but he held back because he saw that his wife really liked the animal.
Maybe it was its silly charm.
As for Li Clan, she was cursing Qiao Duo’er in the house.
Tan Zhenghong could catch at most two mountain muntjacs a year, and Qiao Duo’er wanted to keep one.
Was this some kind of feud with money?
Tan Zhenghong, however, was fully supportive. As soon as the pot boiled, he went to Sun Erhu’s house to clean out a pigpen.
Qiao Duo’er also bandaged the muntjac’s hind leg, then went to Old Lady Huang’s house to buy carrots, sweet potato vines, and other vegetables. These weren’t expensive, a whole basket only cost her twenty wen money.
