Chapter 285: Chapters 286-287_1
After resting a bit longer, she suddenly remembered there was something she needed to figure out.
"Were you faking being drunk?"
"Wife, I wasn’t drunk at all," Tan Zhenghong quickly responded.
Qiao Duo’er narrowed her eyes; people who were drunk always claimed they weren’t, and those who weren’t drunk wouldn’t say they were, so she couldn’t tell.
Just when it was almost over, he had stopped and then grabbed her hand.
Could someone who was drunk have such self-control? 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
But if he wasn’t drunk, he often got confused, and now he was still sleepy and groggy.
Tan Zhenghong pulled Qiao Duo’er into his arms and murmured, "Wife, go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow morning to harvest rice."
Now Qiao Duo’er was sure, Tan Zhenghong really had drunk too much.
Otherwise, how could he still think about harvesting rice when their own was already stored in the granary?
The next day, Qiao Duo’er was awakened by a series of knocks on the door, her eyebrows creasing in annoyance. Couldn’t they let someone sleep properly?
"Fourth Boss, haven’t you gotten up yet?" Wang Clan shouted in discontent.
Now she was even more certain that it was Qiao Duo’er’s face that had bewitched Fourth Boss, leaving him completely infatuated.
If they hadn’t gotten up yet, it must have been because they were up too late last night; no wonder Third Boss had come over to eavesdrop at the wall.
Third Boss’s wife was pregnant and couldn’t move much, yet she had to hear all the noises from this room day after day, wouldn’t that make her angry? Wouldn’t she need to find a way to vent?
In other words, Qiao Duo’er had managed to wreak havoc on both her sons, truly shameless!
Tan Zhenghong called out, "I’ll be right up, whatever it is, we can talk when I come out."
He got dressed in no time and tied his hair before heading out, with Wang Clan urging him twice in the meantime.
As soon as the door opened, Wang Clan said irritably, "It took you ages to get up, don’t get out of line with her just because you’re young, or you’ll regret it later!"
"Mother, it was my fault for drinking too much yesterday. What is it you wanted?"
Before Wang Clan could finish, Tan Zhenghong cut her off.
He just couldn’t bear to hear a single word disparaging his wife.
Only then did Wang Clan remember the pressing matter: "Your second brother still has six acres of land to be harvested, and the weather doesn’t look good today. Looks like it’s going to rain in the afternoon, so I came to ask for your help."
