Chapter 575: Chapter 579: Find a Less Fierce Mother_1
"Um... Miss, do you need something?" Huang Zhong asked with a red face.
Did he have something dirty on his face?
He quickly wiped his face, but didn’t find anything unusual. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Qiao Duo’er was amused by his reaction, "I came to see how Aunt Huang is doing. There are gorgon fruit seeds in here. If you soak them in water and make porridge for Aunt Huang, it’s good for her health."
Huang Zhong shook his head, "It’s enough that you came to see my mother; I can’t accept your things."
"This is for Aunt Huang, if I tell you to take it, just take it."
Qiao Duo’er was speechless. Huang Zhong was already a father of two; how could he still blush when he spoke?
Huang Zhong lowered his head and took the basket, never daring to lift his eyes to look at Qiao Duo’er in the process.
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips, thinking... this kind of shyness wouldn’t do; she needed to create opportunities for Huang Zhong and Hu’s Clan.
"I’ll take this medicine in for Aunt Huang to drink. Could you call Sister Lan over for me? I have something very, very important to discuss with her."
Qiao Duo’er said slyly, hoping the two could get to know each other a bit, even if they didn’t talk much, at least it’d leave an impression.
Huang Zhong agreed to do so, but he thought about the propriety of men and women not touching hands, and decided to send Big Dog and Second Dog instead.
His emotions were always transparent, his eyes already scanning for his sons.
"Big Dog, Second Dog, come with me to see your grandmother," Qiao Duo’er called out.
While Huang Zhong was still hesitating, Qiao Duo’er had already taken the medicine bowl and gone with Big Dog and Second Dog to the main room.
She didn’t believe Huang Zhong would actually send someone else’s child to call for someone.
Left alone in the courtyard, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and had no choice but to go ahead with it.
Qiao Duo’er had been taking care of his family’s business and was concerned about his parents. If he couldn’t even handle this small task, what kind of man would he be?
But Hu’s family didn’t even have a single male to send, and if people saw this, they would surely gossip.
What should he do?
Forget it, he would just stand at the door and call out; he wouldn’t have to go in.
When Qiao Duo saw Aunt Huang trying to sit up, she said, "Where’s Zhong Zi? Why would you let me bring you the medicine?"
"I wanted to do it myself. Brother Zhong is calling Sister Lan for me," Qiao Duo said with a squint.
Aunt Huang knew what Qiao Duo was thinking, but she felt even more stifled inside and could only sigh deeply.
"Now there’s nothing valuable at home, it’s a pity."
She couldn’t bring herself to ask someone to come to the Huang family to endure hardship.
Sigh, it was just that her son Huang Zhong had no luck.
Before, he got tangled up with a troublemaker, and now that such a good woman was right there, he just couldn’t marry her.
Qiao Duo’er consoled, "Sister Lan is not the type to care only about money. Besides, the Huang family’s difficulties are only temporary. Every one of your family is hardworking and reliable; how could you not get over this hurdle?"
"It’s always comforting to hear you talk. Just hearing a few words from you makes me feel much better," Aunt Huang said with a smile.
"Grandma, can we get a mom who isn’t mean this time?" Second Dog asked timidly.
Seeing his timid look, Aunt Huang couldn’t help but wipe away tears, thinking that in the end, the children were the most pitiful.
Bao’s either ignored the children entirely or resorted to beating and scolding them, which had left deep scars in their hearts.
If Bao’s had been half as good as Hu’s Clan, the family wouldn’t have been pushed to such a state.
Qiao Duo’er rubbed Second Dog’s head, "This time, your grandma will definitely find you a gentle and caring mother. She’ll buy you candy and make new clothes for you. You might even get two more sisters. But you’ll have to behave and listen, and not bully the new mom."
"Will she be as good as you?" Second Dog’s eyes suddenly lit up.
