Chapter 743: Chapter 748: Clown Liang_1
But that didn’t mean she had to take on every responsibility, he would only assume those that were rightfully his.
Otherwise, if every day a woman popped up claiming to be carrying his child, how could he and Qiao Duo’er live their lives?
"Hmph, that sounds nice, but you’re just afraid of women!"
Granny Liu said with disdain. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
She also glanced at Qiao Duo’er, if not for Qiao Duo’er, could Tan Zhenghong have rejected the beautiful Ruo Lan?
Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "As long as the child is Tan Zhenghong’s, I will vacate my position for Ruo Lan and give her the power to manage the household."
This term was tempting, wasn’t it?
Too bad that these people could only dream about it.
"Empty talk is useless, I’ll ask the village head to draw up a contract," Granny Liu’s eyes flashed with cunning.
That way, she had something to fall back on if Qiao Duo’er went back on her word in the future.
By the time Tie Niu arrived, Tan Zhenghong had already drafted the contract.
He even added a clause: a dowry of five hundred taels, plus ten acres of land.
"Uncle Tie, Uncle Wu, please be my witnesses," he said.
Tan Zhenghong handed the contract to the two men, who had experienced many things and would certainly spot any inconsistencies.
Tie Niu and Wu Youcai looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Tan Zhenghong was undoubtedly a leader among the younger generation and was sure to become a prominent figure in Big Willow Village.
Tie Niu and Wu Youcai’s families were close to the Tan Family, and since Tan Zhenghong had asked, they naturally wouldn’t refuse.
But still, Tie Niu cautioned, "Once the contract is made, there can be no regrets. You all need to think it through."
"I will not regret it."
Tan Zhenghong said without hesitation, ready to accept the child’s birth right away.
Granny Liu snorted, what was the use of being stubborn when facing death?
"Village head, please read the contract to me again, I’m afraid he might deceive me."
Granny Liu had her doubts; Tan Zhenghong had written the contract, so who knew if there were any traps?
As village head, Tie Niu couldn’t show too much bias toward the Tan Family, or else Granny Liu would definitely kick up a fuss.
He had no choice but to read the contract aloud in front of everyone.
Seeing that there were no issues, Granny Liu pressed her thumbprint on the document.
Afterward, Tan Zhenghong, Tie Niu, and Wu Youcai all pressed their thumbprints in turn, validating the contract.
Only after securing the contract did Tan Zhenghong put it away, when the Wang Clan and Little Wang Clan hurried over.
"Ah Hong, have you acknowledged the child?"
The Wang Clan looked at Tan Zhenghong, deeply concerned about the issue of progeny.
That’s why she had rushed over as soon as she heard about the matter.
Granny Liu spoke first, "No wonder your family can’t produce grandsons, the two you did have, one is fat as death, the other a walking medicine jar, all because your family does too many dishonorable things!"
Not acknowledging even his own son, what good could he be?
"You bastard, how can you reject the seed of the Tan Family? Are you deliberately trying to make the Old Tan Family die out?"
"I see you are nothing but a shameless wretch, a Star of Misfortune. As soon as you entered the door, Zheng Hong broke his leg, and now you can’t bear children yourself, and you even jinx his children, do you have any conscience at all?"
The Wang Clan pointed at Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er’s noses and cursed foully.
Tan Zhenghong responded coolly, "This is my business."
They had severed ties, what right did she have to meddle?
After saying this, he pulled his wife and went home, leaving behind the Wang Clan, who, once she came to her senses, started wailing and howling again.
But in the eyes of others, the Wang Clan was just a Clown Liang.
It was common knowledge that the Tan Family had cut off relations, so how could this woman have the face to meddle in Tan Zhenghong’s affairs?
