Chapter 373: Chapter 376 Longing Torments the Soul_1
The rain finally stopped after a while, and Tan Zhenghong woke Qiao Duo’er up; the four of them descended the mountain together.
Tan Zhenghong even harnessed the ox-cart to rush them to town, his reasoning was simple: human life was of vital importance, and since Bai Yifan had helped them, they ought to repay the kindness like a spring that flows back.
But no matter how great the favor was, they shouldn’t even think about laying a hand on his future wife.
Because she had gotten wet in the rain, Qiao Duo’er developed a slight fever again.
Uneasy, Tan Zhenghong asked Aunt Huang to come over to take care of her.
Aunt Huang believed Qiao Duo’er’s illness was due to the couple meeting before their wedding, so she was very strict about this matter.
After taking medicine for three days, Qiao Duo’er was feeling much better.
She wanted to go up the mountain to look for Star-of-Bethlehem, but Tan Zhenghong disagreed, and Aunt Huang also wouldn’t let her go out.
Aside from sleeping and sewing rabbit fur, Qiao Duo’er felt mushrooms were about to grow on her head.
She had no idea what Tan Zhenghong was up to; she was still sick, and he didn’t even come by, which was really terrible!
Sigh, she must be going crazy; all she did was boredly think of Tan Zhenghong every day.
Perhaps... maybe lovesickness is also a kind of tormenting illness, not painful or itchy, yet it keeps one restless day and night.
There were only four days left until her wedding. Big Sister and Yang Ruoruo came early in the morning because today Qiao Duo’er would finish working on the sofa.
One was strong and the other had fine needlework skills; they would definitely be a great help.
Qiao Duo’er covered the sofa with rabbit fur and fixed the edges with iron nails.
Then she filled it with cotton and sewed up the opening where the cotton was inserted, thus completing the great task.
The rabbit fur was smooth and soft, and the cotton inside was fluffy; sitting on it would definitely be comfortable.
But Big Sister and Yang Ruoruo were very circumspect since this was part of the dowry; before it was delivered to the new home, no one could sit on it and could only touch it with their hands.
Now that the sofa had been completed, Qiao Duo’er felt even less motivated.
After lunch, Qiao Duo’er lay listlessly on the table, unable to muster any energy for anything.
Big Sister couldn’t help but tease, "Sister Duo’er, in just a few days you’ll be marrying Brother Zheng Hong, and then you’ll be all lovey-dovey every day, maybe not even needing to leave the house for days!"
"I think you want to get married too!" Qiao Duo’er forcefully perked up and tapped Big Sister on the forehead.
No wonder members of the Feng Clan looked worried all the time; this girl really shouldn’t have been born in ancient times.
Yang Ruoruo said with a smile, "Let’s talk about business matters."
"Ruo Ruo is reliable."
Just as Qiao Duo’er was praising Yang Ruoruo, she changed the subject before the words were finished.
"If you’re married and we don’t see you for a few days, Big Sister and I, both half-baked, will be at a loss."
"Ruo Ruo, do you think we should bring meals over when the time comes?" Big Sister asked with a mischievous smile.
"I’m not talking to you guys anymore," Qiao Duo’er said with feigned anger.
Big Sister said seriously, "Don’t be mad, let’s talk about something serious. I think the clients we have now basically have no purchasing power, so how about we open a shop specifically to sell skincare products?"
Although the mask powder is a consumable, a box can be used sparingly for several months.
Now that everyone who wanted to buy it had made their purchase and hadn’t run out yet, sales of the mask powder had nearly stalled these past few days.
At the same time, many people who heard from others that the mask powder worked wonders were eager to buy but didn’t know how to go about it.
Because she and Yang Ruoruo had limited energy and weren’t in town all the time, it was difficult to meet everyone’s needs.
But if they had a shop and made the brand well-known, then more people would be able to buy the mask powder.
