Chapter 256: Chapter 258 Biting Only Beasts_1
Hu’s Clan was thoroughly irritated and made a show of walking toward the door, "Then I’ll just open the door and talk about this properly!"
She and her two daughters had moved into the storeroom, yet Tan Zhengyuan still wouldn’t leave her be, seeking her out early in the morning to curse at her. What more did he want from her?
Since she had no way out, she might as well fight desperately for a way to live!
"You... you..." Tan Zhengyuan was so angry that his face turned red.
If this matter got out, he wouldn’t be able to leave the house because wherever he went, a scolding awaited him.
Yet the previously obedient Hu’s Clan daring to talk back to him like this was intolerable; it was utterly humiliating!
Hu’s Clan was sweeping at the entrance of the west wing while Third Boss and Fourth Boss were watching!
At that moment, Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips at Fat Fat and Fatty, and the two dogs started barking at Tan Zhengyuan.
The two little fellows had grown up on bones. Though young, they were sturdy, and their barks were loud.
Tan Zhengyuan had been bitten by a dog in his childhood and felt a chill in his heart.
"Fourth Boss, why do your dogs bite people?" Tan Zhengyuan took two steps back, and all his courage to speak with Hu’s Clan vanished.
Qiao Duo’er replied indifferently, "My dogs don’t bite people, only beasts."
Calling Tan Zhengyuan a beast was probably an insult to beasts.
Tan Zhengyuan wanted to explode but, helpless against the fierce dogs, could only leave a curse before sneaking back to his room.
Not only were the two dogs not to be messed with, but Qiao Duo’er herself was also a force to be reckoned with. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to discipline his mother so thoroughly. Since he had always been afraid of his mother from a young age, this was like comparing trash to treasure.
The aggravating man finally left, and Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
Hu’s Clan was becoming stronger by the day, at least not letting Tan Zhengyuan take advantage of her anymore.
The vigor drained from Hu’s Clan, and she said helplessly, "I am just afraid he’ll bully Da Ya and Er Ya, I have no other choice."
They say once there’s a stepmother, a stepfather follows. Tan Zhengyuan had never favored Da Ya and Er Ya, who knew what he might do?
Da Ya came into the yard with a willow branch, and immediately noticed something off about Hu’s Clan.
"Mother, what’s wrong?"
Hu’s Clan quickly said, "Nothing’s wrong with me; I was just talking with your Fourth Aunt."
"Did Father come to bully you again? I’m going to find him!" Da Ya said angrily. She was determined to kill that bastard!
Hu’s Clan quickly grabbed hold of Da Ya, "Let’s not bother with him. Once we’ve saved enough money, we won’t live here anymore."
Besides the work at Qiao Duo’er’s place, she had rented a few acres of land to cultivate.
For the sake of Da Ya and Er Ya, she didn’t mind the hardship, and soon they would be able to move out.
Da Ya nodded, "Mother, I will work harder from now on."
"Big Sister, I’ll work with you. If we do more, we’ll have our own house sooner," Er Ya also spoke softly, looking forward to the time when no one would bully their mother.
Hu’s Clan, unable to hold back her tears any longer, hugged a daughter with each arm, and her breath eased.
When Hu’s Clan let go, Da Ya said, "Mother, let me help you sweep."
"No need, only a little bit left, you and Er Ya go wash up," Hu’s Clan shook her head.
Da Ya didn’t insist anymore, and she and Er Ya went back to prepare breakfast.
Hu’s Clan sighed, but her mood quickly improved.
Now that no one was scolding Da Ya and Er Ya, the two girls had become much braver, laughed more, and their coin purses had become fuller. That was enough!
Who Tan Zhengyuan favored or how many sons he had was none of her business. Why should she trouble herself for nothing?
