My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 246: Chapter 248: To Erhu Yo_1

Snow fungus is difficult to preserve; if not dealt with in time, it will discolor and rot, so after picking the snow fungus, they walked back home.

Tan Zhenghong also conveniently cut some leaves that the mountain muntjac loves to eat.

They arrived home just in time to meet Uncle Huang delivering cotton blankets.

Tan Zhenghong quickly washed his hands, and together with Uncle Huang, they carried the cotton into the house.

"The landlady really fancies the cured meat you sent, so she specially sent over a small roll of cotton, and she bought cloth as well, it’s wrapped in that blue-and-white fabric," Uncle Huang explained.

After seeing Uncle Huang out, Tan Zhenghong thanked him again and handed over a thank-you gift.

Actually, it was giving away what they had received as a gift, passing on the leftover cotton the landlady had given directly to Uncle Huang.

Uncle Huang reluctantly accepted the cotton after being unable to refuse it.

Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help thinking how good it would be if her family had such an elder.

The ideal is rich, but the reality is lean; at this moment, Wang Clan was frying medicine and cursing at the same time, and her words made everyone feel uncomfortable all over.

Wang Clan’s Heart was bitter; Tan Zhongzhong’s family and the main room all depended on her for food, and on top of that, she had to fry medicine, wash diapers, and more—she never had a moment’s rest from morning till night.

However busy she was, no one lent a helping hand, no one at all.

"Eldest, come help me with the medicine," Wang Clan stood up and rubbed her sore back.

She hadn’t done any chores for so many years, and now suddenly having to manage so many, she couldn’t take it any longer.

"Are you calling for Widow Xu?" Qiao Duo innocently responded.

Wang Clan gritted her teeth; mentioning this shameful family matter, she could only shut up. Alright then, she would brew the medicine herself!

But the more she thought about it, the more disgruntled she became; she had given birth to so many sons, each and every one of them got a wife, so why did she have to do the chores herself?

Qiao Duo silently said to herself that it was deserved, then she and Tan Zhenghong went to Sun Erhu’s yard to wash the snow fungus.

"We really need to get our own yard soon, otherwise I’m always worried about people stealing," Qiao Duo couldn’t help but remark.

Tan Zhenghong nodded, "I’ll finish our new house as soon as I can; living there will be more comfortable."

This was true; so many people living together was bound to create problems, especially with his family members...

In short, every additional day they lived there was another day of discomfort for his wife.

Before long, the snow fungus was all washed clean; then, spreading it out on a sieve to dry would do the trick.

By the time they had finished sorting this out, it was already lunchtime. After lunch, Qiao Duo called Chao Lian to a halt.

"Chao Lian, can you take some time this afternoon to help me with some needlework?"

Chao Lian nodded without hesitation, but when she saw it was a man’s fabric, she quickly shook her head.

"Sister-in-law, you’re good at needlework too, much better than me. You should make clothes for Brother Hong yourself," Chao Lian was very tactful.

Tan Zhenghong would definitely like wearing clothes made by his wife. What would it mean for her to make clothes for him?

Qiao Duo laughed softly, "This isn’t for Zheng Hong, it’s for Erhu."

Erhu only had two pieces of clothing to alternate, and yesterday, after tearing his clothes to cover his face, he definitely didn’t have enough clothes to wear now.

So Qiao Duo had Uncle Huang buy some fabric, planning to make a new set of clothes for Sun Erhu.

"I... I..." Chao Lian hemmed and hawed for quite a while, and she didn’t say whether she agreed or disagreed.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling, she was just shy.

Qiao Duo stuffed the fabric into Chao Lian’s arms, "Erhu may be a bit childish, but he’s a good man. You should hold on to him, so you don’t regret it later." _{𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om}

Chao Lian nodded, her mind already busy planning what kind of clothes to make for Sun Erhu.

And... Erhu would definitely be very happy wearing clothes she made.
