Chapter 210: Chapter 212_1
The main room was in a total uproar, and with Er Ya as their inside informant, Qiao Duo’er and the others quickly learned what was going on.
Qiao Duo’er suddenly remembered a saying, which was "a dog bites a dog, a mouthful of fur."
Tan Zhongzhong was a relentless character, and, whenever he had a chance, he went to the main room to make a fuss. Under his incessant nagging and pressure, Tan Yuancheng could only take out the silver.
Don’t ask how Qiao Duo’er knew that Tan Zhongzhong succeeded; the moment he got the silver, his tail was practically wagging to the sky.
Wang Clan was bedridden with illness, and Little Wang Clan had gone back to her parents’ home.
In short, it was a mess.
However, all these had nothing to do with Qiao Duo’er. What she needed to do was to live her own good life.
These past few days, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong had been looking at home sites. The one they liked most had a pond in the front and a hill in the back.
With a hill and water, the scenery was beautiful, and living there must be comfortable.
Having made up his mind, Tan Zhenghong went to the village chief Tie Niu’s home to inquire. That piece of land was thirty-five taels of silver, and that included the small pond at the gate.
Thirty-five taels of silver was not an insignificant amount.
At night, Qiao Duo’er took out all her family’s savings.
There were three ingots of silver, each ten taels, plus six taels of broken silver, and a bamboo basket of copper coins, amounting to a total of forty-five taels and some change.
Qiao Duo’er bit her lip and decided to buy the land.
One ought to live life with a bit of flair. When you come across something you like, and you have the means, you should buy it. The same goes for someone you like; there’s no need for shyness.
Tan Zhenghong took a few deep breaths before he finally said, "Wife, I’m going to give you an acupuncture treatment, don’t talk."
Qiao Duo’er achieved her goal and stopped teasing him, but Tan Zhenghong’s reaction left her unhappy.
After the treatment, they both lay in bed together. Qiao Duo’er turned her back to Tan Zhenghong and didn’t say a word, and even swatted away Tan Zhenghong’s hand several times.
"Wife, are you in a bad mood?" Tan Zhenghong asked weakly.
Wasn’t his wife just fine just a moment ago?
Qiao Duo’er huffed softly, unwilling to engage with Tan Zhenghong.
Tan Zhenghong now confirmed that his wife’s sudden silence was because she was angry.
