Chapter 484: Chapter 487 Hu’s Clan Good Man_1
It’s just that the Tie Family was being cautious and still observing the situation.
Da Ni’er was the apple of their eye, having raised her with great care. With her simple heart and straightforward personality, she would definitely be bullied if not matched with a good family.
As far as the Tie Family was concerned, their girl would rather remain unmarried than let anyone bully her.
"Come at me if you’re not afraid of dying. I’ve learned all the moves you taught me and am just waiting for an opportunity to show off my skills," Da Ni’er said proudly.
Especially that knee-to-groin move, she was really curious to see its effects.
"What are you two whispering about?" Ms. Hu asked curiously.
Da Ni’er said with a smile, "I was just thinking about which man in our village is worthy of our Sister Lan."
She certainly didn’t want Sister Lan to miss out on happiness because of scum like Tan Zhengyuan!
Ms. Hu’s face instantly turned red, and she scolded, "You little girl, all you know is nonsense!"
Seeing the two girls sneak over with mischief, Qiao Duo’er spoke up, "Today, Da Ni’er and I will help out here; you two go out and play."
They should not discuss matters of affection in front of the children.
Plus, their presence put pressure on Ms. Hu.
"Don’t be shy. In the future, when Da Ya and Er Ya get married, you’ll still need a man to support each other and share warmth—it would be so good!"
Da Ni’er began to speak of grand principles, determined to find a good match for Ms. Hu.
Qiao Duo’er fully agreed, "Da Ni’er is right. Sister Lan, if you have someone you’re fond of, do tell us."
"I’m quite content now and don’t want to be bothered," Ms. Hu said with resignation. If she found someone worse than Tan Zhengyuan, wouldn’t she cry herself to death?
Rather than being heartbroken again, it might be better to live life this way. Da Ya and Er Ya are considerate children—they wouldn’t abandon her when she gets old.
All of a sudden, Da Ni’er said, "Isn’t living all about creating a stir? I have a candidate in mind; take a look."
"Who is it?" Qiao Duo’er asked immediately.
At this point, they had completely disregarded Ms. Hu, the person concerned.
Da Ni’er, feeling playful, raised her eyebrows and teased, "He’s from Big Willow Village. Take a guess?"
In Big Willow Village, there were only so many families, and even fewer were a match for Ms. Hu’s status—it shouldn’t be hard to guess.
But Qiao Duo’er wasn’t interested in others’ gossip, and Ms. Hu, always busy with the spiced meat business, had no time to pay attention, so it was quite a challenge indeed.
After much thought, Qiao Duo’er could only think of Lao Guang.
But that man was unreliable, flirting with other men’s wives all day long; he couldn’t be taken even if he offered himself.
Da Ni’er, out of options, declared the answer, "You two dimwits. I was talking about Brother Huang Zhong from Old Lady Huang’s house."
"Did they get a divorce?"
Qiao Duo’er asked, surprised.
Uncle Huang looked a bit haggard these days, and he said he wasn’t feeling well, so Qiao Duo’er had not thought in that direction.
Da Ni’er shook her head, "I think it’s coming soon. Uncle Huang and his wife scrimped and saved to buy her a gold bracelet, but she complained it wasn’t as pretty as Sister Ling’er’s. After a series of back and forths, Brother Huang Zhong argued with her."
"Don’t talk recklessly once you’re out of this yard. Otherwise, even if Sister Lan jumps into a river, she won’t be able to clear her name," Qiao Duo’er quickly reminded.
Their argument doesn’t mean they’ll divorce. If Da Ni’er’s words got out, the gossipers would say Sister Lan was a homewrecker.
Da Ni’er was startled, "Is it that serious?"
Qiao Duo’er nodded seriously; it could be even more severe than she had described.
