Chapter 738: Chapter 743 Shyness All Over_1
"We all saw what happened that night; don’t even think about making excuses, otherwise Ruo Lan and I will accuse you, and then you’ll face the capital crime of beheading!"
"You better take your family to see a doctor to check your eyes and brains, come back to argue with me after you’ve seen to that."
Tan Zhenghong finally squeezed out a sentence.
It was something Duo’er often said, which he was now using effectively.
The only possibilities for blatantly lying are either you’re blind or your heart is, either way, you’re sick.
But I guess it’s the brain that’s sicker, or else how wouldn’t you know that familial testimonies aren’t used in trials?
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade Tan Zhenghong, Granny Liu simply started yelling at Qiao Duo’er.
What man in the world doesn’t want multiple wives and a brood of children?
Those who say they don’t are just too afraid of their formidable wives to admit it.
She probably has no idea that apart from just sharing a life, some couples are together because of love.
If it’s pure love, then there’s no room for a third person.
"It must be you, you wicked woman, forcing Tan Zhenghong to disown his son; doing this will bring divine retribution sooner or later! Do you know why you can’t have children? This is divine punishment!"
"Why are you still sitting on the nest if you can’t even lay eggs? Didn’t your parents teach you that a woman should be virtuous?"
"You evil woman, giving birth to a son is not..."
Granny Liu’s insults got worse and worse, eventually becoming unbearable to listen to.
Qiao Duo’er impatiently said, "Ah Hong, get her out of here."
Tan Zhenghong didn’t hesitate anymore, picked up a broomstick from the ground and started beating her with it.
They were cursing at his wife; what was there to be polite about?
If he didn’t lose his temper now, everyone would think he was a pushover, and they would only become more brazen towards his wife!
Granny Liu got hit a couple of times, quickly scrambled up from the ground and ran out like smoke, with Tan Zhenghong slamming the door shut behind her with a bang.
He had been so bothered these past few days he felt like vomiting!
He admitted that Ruo Lan was quite attractive and had a demeanor unlike the average village girl.
But what did that have to do with him? As long as she wasn’t his Qiao Duo’er, he wouldn’t give her a second glance.
As for taking advantage of her while drunk, that was utter nonsense!
"I’m not a meat bone; why do all the mad dogs bite me?" Tan Zhenghong complained.
Qiao Duo’er curled her lips into a smile, "They are madmen, they only see Silver in their eyes, and right now you have the most Silver in the village, who else would they bite?"
"Bite you, I don’t have Silver."
Tan Zhenghong said seriously; after buying the ring before the year’s end, he only had a few Hundred Wen left.
He still had to pay wages to Erhu and Uncle Huang, as they helped with the livestock at home.
This way, his pockets were completely empty.
However, to be able to stick with his wife, he was willing to pay the wages.
Spring had already started, and he would soon go hunting again; the money would quickly accumulate back.
Qiao Duo’er pouted, did this mean all the Silver in the Embroidery Room shop at home was hers now?
Um... having such awareness was good; it meant she hadn’t picked the wrong person.
Tan Zhenghong seriously said, "The life I live now is all because of you; this all belongs to you."
"You’ve actually learned to be smooth-talking!"
Qiao Duo chided.
This guy... must be doing it on purpose because every time he did this, she was left speechless.
Tan Zhenghong said dissatisfied, "Every time I speak from the heart, you spoil the mood."
As a result, he was the one who felt bashful.
Qiao Duo went with the flow and nodded, "I was wrong, I will definitely cooperate when you pour out your heart next time."
