Chapter 402: Chapter 405: Who Pressures Whom_1
After buying the bran, Qiao Duo’er asked to go to the West Market, and Tan Zhenghong immediately became anxious.
The West Market sold poultry and livestock; what could his wife possibly want there?
She would surely want to buy some to raise, which meant unavoidable worry and effort.
Tan Zhenghong earnestly said, "Wife, let’s not buy those animals. I’ll hunt more in the mountains. I can definitely earn a lot of money that way, surely enough for us to eat and drink."
Qiao Duo’er leaned in close to Tan Zhenghong’s ear and said, "Buying these will actually make things easier for me."
Seeing that Tan Zhenghong was unconvinced, she explained, "Winter is almost here, and we need to stock up on a lot of hay. How long will it take if we rely on cutting it ourselves?"
Tan Zhenghong understood, realizing if they hired someone to cut the hay, it would certainly raise suspicions.
If they bought some poultry and livestock, that would make sense then.
"Then we can only buy sheep," Tan Zhenghong said assertively.
Qiao Duo’er whispered in his ear, "If you don’t let me buy what makes me happy, then you can’t touch me for the rest of the month."
Tan Zhenghong did the math. It was only the sixth of September. Not being allowed to touch her for the rest of the month—that was practically a death sentence!
Well... he would wake up earlier from now on, make sure they’re well-fed and prevent his wife from worrying. That would be the best of both worlds.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but say, "Ah, you’re so captivated by lust, it’s in your bones, incurable."
"I’m only captivated by you, so much that it’s imprinted in my soul. That’s how I’ll find you in our next life," Tan Zhenghong said, nibbling on Qiao Duo’er’s ear.
Qiao Duo’er trembled slightly, then pinched a soft spot on Tan Zhenghong’s waist.
"Wife, even if you pinch me, I’ll still stick with you. This life and the next, always," Tan Zhenghong said shamelessly.
Qiao Duo’er laughed, amused. It seems it wasn’t enough to love someone; one had to possess them across countless lifetimes.
"What if we both become men in our next lives?"
Tan Zhenghong’s face went blank. "That... make sure you reincarnate accurately."
"Where I come from, there’s something called homosexuality, which means men can love men, and women can love women, and they can even get married."
Tan Zhenghong was petrified. It took him a while before he managed to squeeze out, "Wife, you’re teasing me, right?"
For him, it was as bizarre as seeing a ghost.
Marrying someone of the same sex would be chaos, wouldn’t it?
Qiao Duo’er poked Tan Zhenghong’s cheek, "Is it that you’d dislike me if I turned into a man?"
Tan Zhenghong was silent for a moment before saying with a grim face, "If it really were you, I could reluctantly accept it. But who would be on top?"
Qiao Duo’er was speechless; it turned out Tan Zhenghong wasn’t averse to the idea of same-sex relationships, but was instead worried about the physical aspects!
That was a very valid concern indeed.
"Wife, I suddenly feel so pitiful," Tan Zhenghong said with a woeful expression.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, we can take turns being on top."
"You... Me... With our mouths?" Tan Zhenghong stuttered.
Qiao Duo’er turned to block the hand that was about to misbehave, then patted someone’s bottom.
Tan Zhenghong’s back tingled, "Wife, stop joking with me. I almost fell over just now!"
"I’m not lying to you. It’s true."
Qiao Duo’er even nodded, indicating she was telling the truth, and she had always believed that true love was found in same-sex relationships.
Tan Zhenghong was on the verge of tears, thinking about how his wife might become a man in the next life made him so sad. Well, if that was the case, he... he would just have to sacrifice a bit.
