Chapter 248: Chapter 250 Rotten Peach Blossoms_1
Sun Erhu chuckled twice, dumbly. He had just casually made that comment, not actually claiming Chao Lian knew the size of his "ding ding."
Cough cough, he really was innocent!
Qiao Duo’er and Hu’s Clan pursed their lips, chuckling secretly. They couldn’t figure out whether Sun Erhu was genuinely simple-minded or not.
Just because of what he said just now, they had reason to suspect that Sun Erhu was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Sun Erhu hurriedly explained, "I mean the clothes fit very well, I really like them."
"We all understand, it’s only natural, don’t be embarrassed," Qiao Duo’er giggled as she teased because she liked him.
Once upon a time, Tan Zhenghong even went too far, saying the third leg is yours too.
Chao Lian stamped her foot, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Sun Erhu touched his nose; he was not good with words and didn’t know what to say.
Thankfully, Qiao Duo’er made a few jokes and decided to let them off the hook, "I’ll go prepare some food, you guys eat up before heading to town."
"I’ll go," Chao Lian quickly said.
Having Sun Erhu around made her feel utterly uncomfortable; she just wanted to get away and take a breather.
"No need, you two rest a while," Qiao Duo’er refused.
The afternoon tea was very simple, just adding an egg to the big bone broth cooked at noon, then putting in some greens and noodles, and that was that.
The noodles had been rolled out earlier, cut and dried to make homemade dried noodles, which could last ten days to half a month without any issue, ready to eat whenever, very convenient.
So the noodles were ready in no time.
Qiao Duo’er made five bowls in total, one for each of the adults including Sun Erhu, one for Da Ya and Er Ya, and one more she packed in a basket to bring to Tan Zhenghong.
That man worked as if his life depended on it, completely forgetting to take breaks.
In just a few days, he got darker and thinner, and though he became more manly, Qiao Duo’er was not pleased at all.
She had managed to fatten Tan Zhenghong up with great effort, and now he’d gone and lost it all in just a blink of an eye.
However, this noodle delivery was not harmonious.
From a distance, Qiao Duo’er saw Tan Zhenghong standing with a woman, whom she recognized as Xiao Biyu right away.
A chill flashed across her eyes, and her steps quickened.
Dammit, last time Xiao Biyu almost cost Tan Zhenghong an arm, and now she had the audacity to pester him again! 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
As Qiao Duo’er approached, she realized what was happening. Xiao Biyu must have purposely waited for Sun Erhu to leave before coming.
She even brought food to curry favor, and her bright red food box looked much nicer than Qiao Duo’er’s bamboo basket.
But what does it matter how nice it looks? Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t even spare it a glance.
"Brother Hong, I heard you encountered mountain bandits, are you alright?" Xiao Biyu said with concern.
"He ran into mountain bandits all thanks to you!" Qiao Duo’er huffed.
Tan Zhenghong’s previously gloomy expression lightened as he smiled and wrapped an arm around Qiao Duo’er, "Wife, didn’t I tell you to rest at home? Why have you come out?"
"I did some calculations and foresaw you’ve got a rotten peach blossom, so I rushed over to rescue you," Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Biyu immediately retorted, "You’re the rotten peach blossom. You don’t care about Brother Hong at all. What right do you have to be his wife?"
Why should Tan Zhenghong have to work out here by himself in this scorching heat?
"Husband, have I not treated you well?"
Qiao Duo’er gave Tan Zhenghong a coquettish look, along with that word "husband," making all his bones go soft.
"Wife treats me the best," Tan Zhenghong responded without hesitation.
With pride, Qiao Duo’er said, "Did you hear that?"
