Chapter 273: Chapter 275 An Embarrassing Incident_1
Qiao Duo’er quickly said, "Big girl, don’t make a fuss, this money should go to your father."
"I’m not being silly, Dad, look at the powder I got from Sister Duo’er, it can remove the spots on my face."
Big girl pointed to the stuff she had applied to her face.
The stuff was green and looked quite scary, but anyone who used it knew, she felt very comfortable.
Tie Niu stuffed the red envelope back to Tan Zhenghong, "Then I really can’t accept this, I still need to pay you for the medicine."
Medicine was frighteningly expensive, he had quite a few copper coins in his hand, but it definitely wasn’t enough to cover the cost of the medicine.
"Uncle Tie, you really can’t do this, most of the powder my wife found from the mountain, it’s not any treasure," said Tan Zhenghong in a hurry.
Seeing the two of them politely refusing back and forth, Big girl spoke up, "This time, no one gives money to anyone, let’s call it even."
"Alright, let’s all listen to Big girl," Tie Niu said with a smile.
Tan Zhenghong also stopped fussing and stuffed the silver coins back into his wife’s hands.
He was a good man, who never hid any private money behind his wife’s back.
Big girl’s teasing gaze flitted between the two, making Tan Zhenghong’s face feel a bit hot.
Tie Niu hastily changed the subject, "Today, I won’t keep you guys any longer, once we’re done with the farm work, I’ll have your aunt prepare a table of food, and you all can come together."
Tan Zhenghong politely thanked Uncle Tie and walked out with Qiao Duo’er.
"Dad, can I go play with Sister Duo’er?"
Tie Niu’er blinked, she was fourteen this year, and the family hoped she could stay fair skinned, so they were reluctant to let her go out casually.
But if she had to embroider her dowry at home all day, she was going to go crazy with boredom.
Tie Niu thought for a moment, his daughter was carefree, while Fourth Boss’s wife was meticulous and always spoke just right, interacting more with her could do no harm, so he agreed.
He just hoped his daughter could learn to be a bit smarter, to avoid being bullied in her future husband’s home.
Big girl cheered and then heard Tie Niu say, "Don’t go empty-handed, the persimmons in the backyard are ripe, pick some of the ripe ones to bring over."
If the spots on Big girl’s face could disappear, even if he had to send over two more acres of land, he was willing to do it.
"Got it!" Big girl responded.
However, she still had to wait a bit, Duo’er said it would take half an hour before it took effect. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
She saw that Qiao Duo’er’s house was quite busy, and it was the perfect opportunity to help out.
If they helped her with the freckles and she didn’t show any gratitude, she would definitely feel uneasy.
Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo walked back together, having just bought four acres of land, both of them were in a good mood.
It was tough on Tan Zhenghong, though, with a sudden increase in farm work, but he was happy about it, their days were getting better after all!
As they passed a cornfield, Qiao Duo’s face turned so red it could drip blood.
Those uh-uh... ah-ah... sounds, were surely a man and woman doing something in the cornfield.
Sigh, in broad daylight... it was too damaging to public morals.
Qiao Duo unconsciously quickened her pace, at this moment she was a bit upset about her excellent hearing.
"Wife, what’s the matter?" Tan Zhenghong asked weakly.
Qiao Duo shook her head, "Nothing, just need to hurry home to use the toilet."
Tan Zhenghong didn’t suspect anything and quickly walked back with Qiao Duo.
They walked quickly, not seeing Lao Guang emerge from the cornfield a bit later, pants in hand and slightly out of breath, but very satisfied.
At his age, he had not managed to marry a wife, so he relied on unsatisfied women in the village to fulfill his needs.
