Chapter 612: Chapter 616 Trust_1
Qiao Duo’er nodded. "Then be careful on your way."
Wind Liyang and Qiao Duo’er left instructions for each other and then both entered Wind Liyang’s workshop. They became so busy that they lost track of time.
Zou Clan’s member awkwardly said, "You wait here, I’ll go knock on the door."
With this man and woman alone together for several hours, what if Tan Zhenghong misunderstood something and it affected their marital relationship? What then?
Oh, this is enough to worry one to death!
Usually, Wind Liyang and Qiao Duo’er are people who understand propriety; what’s happened to them today?
"This sleeve arrow is a matter of life and death; let’s not disturb them."
Tan Zhenghong said confidently, without any hint of displeasure.
Zou Clan’s member nodded and sat down again, "I think you and Duo’er are blessed; you will surely be able to save the people."
"Lord Qin is also here; nothing will go wrong," Tan Zhenghong added in agreement.
"Lord Qin is a good official who loves his people like children. Xuan Eagle Mountain Village is so dangerous, yet he is willing to go."
"Yes, he is indeed good."
Tan Zhenghong, not being talkative with people he is not familiar with, relied on Zou Clan’s member to make conversation.
But Zou Clan’s member didn’t know Tan Zhenghong very well either, and after a few attempts at conversation, there was nothing left to say, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Seeing Zou Clan’s member feel uneasy, Tan Zhenghong could only say, "Aunt, trust is the most important thing in a marriage. I won’t misunderstand Brother Feng and Duo’er. You can relax."
"Then I’m relieved," Zou Clan’s member patted her chest in relief, as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.
"Aunt, I’ve noticed that your business is doing quite well. Why don’t you share some tips with me, so I can later help my wife with it?" Tan Zhenghong asked humbly.
This year, Xiang Bao Zhai suddenly went back on their word and no longer allowed his family to make the fragrance powder boxes, turning the ones already in stock into waste.
Angered, Wind Liyang burned all the boxes clean away, resulting in a huge loss that nearly dragged down the shop.
Had it not been for the business he took over from Qiao Duo’er, and the fact that they had started selling sofas and such, the carpentry shop would have closed its doors long ago.
Therefore, Zou Clan’s member considered Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong saviors, and was willing to share everything she knew with them.
Doing business might look simple, but there are many tricks to it.
Tan Zhenghong listened attentively, and before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Finally, Wind Liyang and Qiao Duo’er came out.
"I have some good news for you. We’re almost successful, and when the time comes, no matter how ferocious the eagles of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village are, I’ll scare them off just like sparrows!" Qiao Duo’er said excitedly, her face beaming with a smile that seemed ready to overflow.
"That’s great. If you’re short-handed, just say the word, and I’ll find a few more people to come and help. Saving lives is what matters most," Zou Clan’s member replied, her heart finally settling back in her chest.
Wind Liyang shook his head, "They wouldn’t be able to do this work; I alone am enough."
Zou Clan’s member signaled to her son, feeling that with others around, misunderstandings were less likely to happen.
But even though her eyes were nearly cramping from hinting, Wind Liyang didn’t grasp her meaning.
What a blockhead!
Wind Liyang, concerned, asked, "Mother, are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Zou Clan’s member’s face turned red, "Perhaps I’m just a bit sleepy; it’s nothing serious. You must be hungry by now, having worked until this hour. Sit and rest for a bit; I’ll go warm up the food."
Since it would still be a while before they could eat, Wind Liyang took out the sleeve arrow.
"Brother Tan, you know your stuff. Give it a try," he said.
Tan Zhenghong nodded, and following Qiao Duo’er’s instructions, he donned the sleeve arrow and then aimed at the old poplar tree in the yard.
