Chapter 659: Chapter 664 You Are Jealous_1
"That’s good to hear. I overheard the day before yesterday that your wife is a jealous woman, and she won’t let Brother Hong take a concubine. You might as well send your daughter to serve as a Maid first. Once the rice is cooked, you’ll have no choice but to accept it."
Sun Erhu explained the reasoning, hoping to get the attention of his Brother Hong and sister-in-law.
Having two women in a household wouldn’t that cause a huge commotion?
And most importantly, the sister-in-law can fight, it’s very likely that it could lead to fatality.
"Is being a concubine really that good?" Qiao Duo’er scoffed. Do those people have no integrity at all?
"Then you’re just naive. There are families that trade their daughters for money. You should be careful, sister-in-law."
Sun Erhu didn’t find it strange at all—some families treated their daughters as mere tools, devoid of any affection.
Before they come of age, they’re tools for labor, and after they grow up, they can be sold for money.
Qiao Duo’er narrowed her eyes: "Whoever dares to mess with me, I’ll give Silver to their man to buy him a little wife. If she really thinks it’s good, then she can come and talk."
As for being called jealous, it’d be best not to let her find out who said it.
Now, it was Sun Erhu who was giving thumbs up—this method was simply brilliant!
The women could talk all they want about others, citing all sorts of virtues and moralities.
But when it’s their turn, it would be nothing but crying, making scenes, and threatening suicide.
After all, it all comes down to personal interests.
They can gain a lot by sending their daughters to be concubines in other families, but having an extra woman in their own house would harm their interests.
Just thinking about that kind of hypocrisy is disgusting!
Seeing that his wife was still angry, Tan Zhenghong hurriedly said, "Wife, I absolutely won’t take another look at any other woman."
Moreover, he had never thought of letting a strange woman live in his house, even if she were as beautiful as a goddess.
"Well... let’s not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you about the Yin Family and the Mountain Bandits, both cases are nearly closed."
Sun Erhu changed the subject just in time. He had only brought it up out of good intentions, and definitely not to stir up family conflict.
After Lord Yu arrived at White Stone Town, he immediately began to review the Yin Family’s case, and progress was going smoothly.
Qin Longyun had also exposed the family’s involvement in the illegal salt and iron trade. A death sentence was inevitable, and the authorities had started to inventory the Yin Family’s assets.
The Yin Family’s case was complicated, involving not just Yin Gang but several higher-ups, so concluding the case would take some more time.
But one thing was certain—the investigation would be thorough.
As for the bandits, those who surrendered were sent back to their villages, those who refused to admit to their wrongdoings and those who were already criminals were exiled to the frontier, with all their properties confiscated.
Such a result is truly satisfying!
"Speaking of which, those three brothers from the Yin Family were quite honorable. In the end, they actually chose to die together by fire," Sun Erhu remarked with a sigh, admiring that trait.
Qiao Duo’er said disdainfully, "If it were true, that would indeed be touching."
But she knew that Xuan San wouldn’t do such a thing because Yin Yinyue was still waiting in prison for him to rescue her.
In Xuan San’s heart, Yin Yinyue’s life was more important than his own. Even if he wished to die, he would choose to do so after rescuing Yin Yinyue.
Qiao Duo’er kept this in mind, planning to make a trip to the town after the snow stopped.
"Sister-in-law, you aren’t seriously considering it, are you?" Sun Erhu lowered his voice.
Qiao Duo’er replied, resignedly, "I wish I were just joking with you."
Xuan Qing had mastered Eagle Training Technology. He was the spiritual leader of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village; with him around, the fighting capability of the hawks could be improved. Xuan Eagle Mountain Village would soon rise again in East Mountain.
That would become another scourge.
After dinner, Sun Erhu changed into his own clothes to pick up his wife and return home, reluctantly accepting only half of the game Qiao Duo’er insisted on giving him for the journey.
