Chapter 361: Chapter 364 Scare_1
Qiao Duo’er thought about how her body was given life by those two, and she wanted to send her body over to be destroyed.
But that was just a thought, because she still wanted to grow old with Tan Zhenghong!
Liu’s eyes shifted, "Your father and I heard that your family was having a beam-raising celebration, so we thought of coming to help. Why don’t you appreciate it?"
"What about the beam-raising gifts?"
Qiao Duo’er gave a meaningful look at their hands, which were all empty. Did they really have the nerve to say they came for the beam-raising drinks?
They were clearly here for a free meal and drinks!
Seeing they all were at a loss for words, Qiao Duo’er clapped her hands, "I have nothing to do with you guys; go back where you came from."
Qiao Laixi said discontentedly, "Is there any daughter like you? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? You heartless thing!"
"Even if you’re not foolish now, you’re still my daughter. Now that you’re living a good life, you want to cast us aside. There’s no way!" Liu no longer pretended.
This whole family truly consisted of petty people, with their disgraceful thoughts written all over their faces.
Qiao Jingu was the only son of the Qiao family, but when they grew old, he would have to rely on his three sisters. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Qiao Duo’er curled her lips. Now that things had come to this point, there was no point in arguing anymore.
Catching sight of Aunt Huang going to pour water, she went over and took the basin from her.
Water splashed at the doorway, with mud splattering all over them.
Jin Gui was short and ended up being the most embarrassed, with even his hair covered in it.
The expression on Qiao Laixi’s face was unbearable, "You heartless thing! Even a dog knows to wag its tail; is this how you treat your own parents?"
"Sister, I know you have grievances against our parents, but wasn’t there no choice back then? Besides, no matter what, they are still your parents," Qiao Hua’er said in a sarcastic tone, almost pointing at Qiao Duo’er’s nose and accusing her of being unfilial.
Tan Zhenghong stood in front of Qiao Duo’er, "Why should my wife treat you well when you’re bullying her?"
Aunt Huang also came to help, "What kind of ruffians are these? You don’t know what selling a daughter means, do you? I heard the County Magistrate is well-read, a Saint’s appointed Advanced Scholar. Perhaps I should take you to him and ask!"
"What’s it to you what I say to my child?" Liu said angrily.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t back down, "She’s my wife; what’s she got to do with you?"
"Hey, stop your work everyone; come over and help. Let’s take them to the Government Office!" Aunt Huang yelled.
Seeing several strong men heading their way, Qiao Laixi felt a pang of fear in his heart.
Once a daughter was sold, her birth, aging, sickness, and death were no longer her parents’ concern according to the legal code.
If this were taken to the Government Office, they’d surely be in the wrong.
The Qiao family’s intentions were clear; they came to take advantage, but Aunt Huang scared them off just like that, and they left in a hurry.
Aunt Huang said with a sense of guilt, "Duo’er, don’t overthink it; I really didn’t mean that."
"I know; it’s I who should thank you," Qiao Duo’er said with a slight smile, yet there was a hint of bitterness in her heart for the original host’s sake.
Seeing his sister-in-law’s attitude, Sun Erhu spoke up brazenly, "Sister-in-law, it’s good that you didn’t introduce your sister to me; otherwise, I’d be in trouble!"
He remembered mentioning this before. He thought his sister-in-law was capable both in the living room and the kitchen, so her sister would definitely be a catch.
But after just hearing a few words from her sister, he knew that would have been a huge mistake!
Qiao Duo’er gave Sun Erhu a sidelong glance, "Be careful or Chao Lian will find out."
