Chapter 599: Chapter 603 Fate Violates Punishment_1
Qiao Duo’er hooked her lips into a grin, "You better start figuring out what to say tomorrow while you are still alive; don’t just become a limp shrimp from fright when you get to the Government Office."
"What’s wrong with selling my daughter? When there was a famine, everyone was selling sons and daughters; can you even manage that?"
Tan Zhengyuan still talked tough, convinced that nothing would happen to him.
Qiao Duo’er just wanted to give a thumbs up; for all Tan Zhengyuan’s faults, his attitude was better than anyone’s.
Already confined to the firewood shed in the village, the punishment at the Government Office tomorrow would definitely not be any lighter. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Felt all wrong under the scrutiny, Tan Zhengyuan couldn’t help but hide behind the Wang Clan matriarch.
The Wang Clan matriarch cursed, "Idiot, you did those death-defying deeds, dragging me down with you to this god-forsaken place, and now you hide behind me! Are you even a man?"
The more she looked at her eldest son, the more agitated she became!
Although she didn’t think much of Tan Zhenghong, she had to admit that her other three sons combined were not worth one of his fingers.
"You like treating your useless son as a treasure; who’s to blame?"
Qiao Duo watched the Wang Clan matriarch, whose later years could have been happy, but she had thrown it all away with her actions.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t talk much, but his heart was kinder than anyone’s.
The Wang Clan matriarch glared at Tan Zhenghong, "Do you think he’s anything good? I nearly lost my life giving birth to him, the fortune-teller said he’s destined to bring disaster and lead a lonely life. I did well not to strangle him!"
These were the reasons why the Wang Clan matriarch disliked Tan Zhenghong.
So, Tan Zhenghong was sent away to distant relatives as a child, and after he grew up, they just got him a cheap wife.
Otherwise, what if he brought disaster one day? Wouldn’t her Silver have been wasted?
However, to Qiao Duo, this all seemed ridiculous; she never believed in fortune-telling.
A person’s fate is not in their own hands, but a large part of it can be changed through effort.
"You’re not fit to be a mother. When other mothers face life and death, they would hate not to use their own lives to protect their sons, yet you abandon him and strike him down over an unfounded charge. Do you really not feel any heartache?"
"It’s his fate; it’s already been determined. What use is my heartache? Don’t think you’re lively and bouncing now, sooner or later you’ll be done in by him!"
The Wang Clan matriarch said venomously, already fantasizing about Qiao Duo’s demise.
She could fall into a pond, suffer in childbirth, or get knocked over by someone...
There were so many ways; surely one would be suitable for Qiao Duo.
Qiao Duo’er remained unperturbed, simply replying, "Then there’s no need for your concern. I will definitely live well, and I’ll live longer than you will."
Even if Tan Zhenghong were a Star of Death to her, that was before her arrival.
Since she has come, everything has changed.
And who could be more tenacious than her? Those years as a spy, how many times she brushed close to the Reaper, yet came out unscathed. She finally died, but not completely, instead bringing calamity upon some other world’s man.
The Wang Clan matriarch neither agreed nor disagreed; in any case, they had severed ties, it couldn’t affect her.
Qiao Duo’er looked at Tan Zhenghong with sympathy, feeling a wave of pity overwhelming her; there was more hiding within him than she had imagined.
The innocent child had borne such an ill name.
"I’m used to it, and it’s all in the past now," Tan Zhenghong said composedly.
He had once resented the heavens for their injustice, but now he felt that all the bullying was simply the heavens finding a reason to compensate him with Qiao Duo.
