Chapter 274: Chapter 276 Enough Roaming!_1
So besides Lao Guang, he also had a nickname: Fire Rescue Team.
Whenever any wife in the village was urgently in heat, just a bit of dirty talk would have him rush over to "put out the fire".
After Lao Guang was satisfied, he would hum a tune on his way back home.
As for that woman in the cornfield... in a few days, he would have to come back again.
This time he met his match; his back almost broke, yet that woman still clung to his clothes asking him to continue.
But, well, he liked such saucy women - they had flavor!
After Tan Zhenghong dropped Qiao Duo’er home, he went back to the fields, leaving Qiao Duo’er speechless; she thought Tan Zhenghong had come back to rest.
She had only just returned from the village chief’s place; surely she couldn’t have been ’snatched away’ that quickly?
Qiao Duo’er patted her face, telling herself not to laugh.
Normally, she could wash the yuba in two to three minutes, but today Qiao Duo’er took three times as long.
Fortunately, she had sent Sister Lan to rest, or else it would have been embarrassing.
"Duo’er, you are truly diligent, busy in the fields and still you have chores at home. A woman must cherish herself; don’t always act so tough."
Suddenly, an overly sweet voice carried over.
Qiao Duo’er curled her lip - it was Widow Xu, whom Tan Zhengyuan had brought back.
"You’re the one with good fortune, aren’t you? After one man dies, you find another to do chores for you," Qiao Duo’er replied.
After speaking, she continued with her own work, focusing on marinating the yuba. She didn’t have time to pay attention to her.
Hu’s Clan had just made a fire, and the bottom of the pot still had embers. Adding some leaves and fanning it with a fan quickly revived the fire - very convenient.
Widow Xu adjusted her hair, pretending not to understand the sarcasm in Qiao Duo’er’s words and continued, "You and Fourth Boss are so capable, drying so many mushrooms, enough to last for years."
Qiao Duo’er silently cursed, stupid idiot; the mushrooms were for selling. Otherwise, with so many mushrooms, wouldn’t they eat themselves to death?
In the winter, when boats could sail for two months, vegetables were scarce; that’s when mushrooms could fill the gap.
"But sister-in-law, could you gather the mushrooms? I’ve just become pregnant, and the smell makes me feel terribly nauseous."
Widow Xu fanned her nose as if she found the smell repulsive.
Qiao Duo’er innocently asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you?"
Widow Xu clenched her teeth - damn Qiao Duo’er, she was obviously mocking her, wasn’t she?
Currently, she had no official status, but once she birthed a son, she would be Tan Zhengyuan’s wife and Qiao Duo’er’s sister-in-law!
"Duo’er, I said I don’t like the smell of mushrooms, asking you to put them away, otherwise, I’ll vomit," Widow Xu repeated.
Qiao Duo’er thought for a moment before responding, "You said you don’t like this smell, but my mushrooms aren’t dry yet."
In fact, the mushrooms were already dry, and she was planning to put them away in the next couple of days.
But just because Widow Xu disliked it, she decided to dry them a couple more days.
Humph, what could Widow Xu do to her?
"Can you move them somewhere else?" Widow Xu asked, trying to keep her patience.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "That’s too much trouble; I won’t bother, but I have a better idea."
"Hmm?" Widow Xu played along and asked.
"Go back to your own house."
If you can’t change others, can’t you change yourself?
Widow Xu clenched her fists. She had finally made her way into the Tan Family’s house, and to think she would leave that easily? Not a chance!
Since Qiao Duo’er couldn’t make her see reason, she had to change her target. So she headed towards the third household, where Li Clan should be easier to deal with.
Being a newcomer, she needed a companion to quickly secure her standing in the Tan Family.
