Chapter 736: Chapter 741: The Dismissed Wife?_1
Although they had been feasting well these past days, their absence made life suddenly feel incomplete.
"Have you been good guards at the door? Did you watch over the other animals properly? Did you sneak out for secret rendezvous with the little bitches?"
Qiao Duo’er patted each of their heads and asked a series of questions.
Fat Fat and Fatty both looked proud, they had been very diligent, and nothing had been lost at home.
Even if they sneaked out at night to find little bitches, they took turns doing so.
After placating the two big dogs, they finally made way.
It had been several days since she returned, but the house was tidy, clearly just cleaned.
Thus, goodness was mutual; they were kind to others, and others were kind to them, which was the ideal state.
After a simple lunch, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong split up, one to deliver thank-you gifts, the other to the Embroidery Room.
Embroidery Room.
"Sister Duo’er, are you alright?"
Chao Lian timidly glanced at Qiao Duo’er.
With an innocent face, Qiao Duo’er asked, "I’ve only been back for two hours, what could’ve happened?"
"I... I... it’s just that," Chao Lian stammered for a long time without getting to the point.
Qiao Duo’er comforted her, "Say whatever you want to say, don’t hesitate. Whatever I need to know, I’ll find out sooner or later."
Escapism was never her way.
"It’s Ruo Lan, she said she’s carrying Brother Zheng Hong’s child, and she’s spouting nonsense... saying you can’t conceive," Chao Lian blurted out the truth with gritted teeth.
It was better for her to hear it directly rather than let her hear exaggerated gossip from others. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
At least this might comfort her a bit.
Qiao Duo’er curved her lips slightly, "How far along is the child?"
"The doctor said a little over two months. It was during the time right before the New Year when Brother Hong was always out fixing houses. They say Brother Ah Hong took advantage of her while drunk, and those who worked with Brother Hong confirmed that Ah Hong did indeed drink too much one day, but I think they’re all spouting nonsense. Brother Zheng Hong isn’t that kind of person," Chao Lian said indignantly.
Taking advantage of Duo’er couple’s absence, the rumor spread in great detail, and nearly everyone in the village knew about it.
The most infuriating part was that a portion of people actually believed Ruo Lan’s lies.
With a bit of common sense, anyone could figure out that Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t change his heart over someone like Ruo Lan, who couldn’t even compare to one of Sister Duo’er’s fingers!
Qiao Duo’er said nonchalantly, "Let her say what she wants, I trust Ah Hong anyway."
Seeing her non-extreme reaction, Chao Lian was relieved.
If the couple were to break up over such a vile person, it would be that vile person who would be happiest.
Qiao Duo’er then shifted the conversation back to the affairs of the Embroidery Room, as there was only a five-day supply of goods left in the warehouse.
"Arrange for the recruitment expansion, and, during this period, please ask everyone to bear with the extra work, raising their wages by fifty percent," she directed.
"No problem, I’ll arrange it right away," Chao Lian said.
Chao Lian went off to make the arrangements immediately. In front of Duo Meifang, Ruo Lan wasn’t even worth a clove of garlic!
On her way back, Qiao Duo’er overheard many people talking, but she just smiled and passed by.
However, she hadn’t expected to encounter rumors that Tan Zhenghong was going to divorce her for being barren and overly jealous, with Ruo Lan poised as her replacement.
She had ground Lingzhi into powder, mixed it with other medicinal herbs to make pills, and after taking them for nearly a month, her health had greatly improved.
If it hadn’t been for Li Mu’er’s interference that one time, she might already be carrying a bun.
She had initially intended to discuss the Hua Tian matter with the Huang Family, but she was fed up with their pitying gazes.
It made her feel as if she had already become a cast-off wife.
Forget it, better to just head home.
