Chapter 751: Chapter 756 Picking Flaws_1
Tan Zhenghong couldn’t understand why Qiao Duo’er’s point of focus was so bizarre, but he knew that if he delayed any longer, his wife might explode.
So he immediately put up three fingers, "No, absolutely not!"
In reality, he said he had just arrived because he saw Chen Yiling staring at him.
No, putting it that way, his wife would definitely say that he pays attention to other women’s expressions.
Then how could he explain himself?
The wisest course of action was to say nothing at all.
Anyway, his wife was eloquent; no matter how he responded, she could find fault.
As long as she felt he was wrong, he would accept his punishment.
Qiao Duo’er looked steadily at Tan Zhenghong, and Tan Zhenghong looked back at her honestly, without a hint of guilt.
As a result, the two of them stared at each other in the small carriage.
Tan Zhenghong blinked, unable to help himself, which meant he had lost according to the rules of the game.
"Wife, don’t just keep looking at me, will you say something?" Tan Zhenghong asked weakly.
His wife was really frightening like this, especially since he was innocent. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
"There’s nothing special, just some pastries here."
Qiao Duo’er pulled out a paper-wrapped package from behind her as if by magic.
It was the peach crisps that ChunTao had sneakily given her, the ones they hadn’t finished at noon.
Tan Zhenghong exaggerated on purpose, "Wife, I just knew you are the kindest person to me in this world!"
After saying that, he immediately started munching on the peach crisps; he was starving since he hadn’t eaten at noon.
Qiao Duo’er chided, "You’re not an idiot, so why do you always do silly things? You knew I wasn’t inside, couldn’t you have found somewhere to eat first?"
Even buying a baked bun wouldn’t have you looking like a starving ghost like you do now.
"If Ling’er came back and didn’t see me waiting at the door, she would be even angrier, and when I join you in talking later, it will be even more miserable for me."
Tan Zhenghong spoke haltingly.
Having been locked out of the door, where would he have had the mood to eat?
He thought it was better to stand quietly at the door, let Chen Yiling vent her anger, so he could peacefully live his life with his wife.
After standing at the door for the whole afternoon, Tan Zhenghong had realized something.
It was that he couldn’t let Ruo Lan speak nonsense any longer; he had to find a way to expose her true colors.
Although he and Qiao Duo’er didn’t care about what others thought, being wrongly accused was, after all, disgusting.
Tan Zhenghong, famished, quickly finished a piece of peach crisp and didn’t forget to shove another piece into Qiao Duo’er’s hand.
"Wife, you eat too," Tan Zhenghong said with his mouth full.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "You eat it yourself, I ate too much at noon."
Hearing her say that, Tan Zhenghong couldn’t help but sigh; he almost felt sorry for himself.
At noon, he had been standing outside the door, watching two hefty women gorge themselves.
After Tan Zhenghong had his fill, he cuddled up with Qiao Duo’er to rest; they still had to feed the animals in the backyard later.
Once they got home, the two worked together: Qiao Duo’er cooked, while Tan Zhenghong worked in the backyard, and they managed to have their dinner just as it was getting dark.
For dinner, they had sautéed Chinese toon buds with eggs, fried dry bean curd with meat, and a pot of bone soup, eating exceptionally satisfied.
"It’s a blessing to have a full stomach," Tan Zhenghong remarked.
To him, rice was much tastier than pastries.
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at him, "Ambition!"
But in this era of extremely low grain production, being well-fed and warm indeed counted as happiness.
At least, that was the original person’s wish.
