Chapter 771: Chapter 776 The Trouble Caused by Inferiority_1
The most important thing for Qiao Duo’er was that she had never thought of leaving Duo Meifang.
At first, she and Yang Ruoruo sold face masks in the town without a store or a brand name. Later, they decided to name it Duo Meifang. Now, Duo Meifang had a store in the county center, and she too had grown along the way.
In the future, Duo Meifang would have even better development, and she hoped to always be there.
Qiao Duo’er had put away her purse before she came out with Sister Duo’er.
Feng Clan couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Duo’er, are you alright?"
Did her own daughter cause trouble for Duo’er?
That wasn’t right. Even if her daughter was criticized, she would just giggle and laugh, not hang her head.
"It’s probably just the sun, Mother. Don’t worry about it. I’ll take Sister Duo’er back," Sister Duo’er joked.
Since nothing was settled yet, she didn’t want to trouble her mother with concerns.
Qiao Duo’er cooperated, "Grandma, Aunt, Mother-in-law, I have things to attend to at home; I can’t stay with you all."
After sending off Duo’er, Feng Clan complained, "Why is this child in such a hurry to send Duo’er away? I wanted to play cards with Duo’er!"
"Sister Duo’er is smart and has her own mind. Let’s not meddle too much. Just keep an eye on the final decision," the old lady said with a smile, believing that her granddaughter’s judgment would not be flawed.
She was now just looking forward to the day when Sister Duo’er would bring her grandson-in-law home.
Feng Clan came to a realization and hastily nodded, "Duo’er has a keen eye for people; with her help, I’m at ease!"
"Time flies so quickly. I still remember sending you off for your wedding," Zou Clan reminisced, realizing that now the children were ready to start families and enterprises, it was no wonder their generation was getting old.
Feng Clan deeply agreed, "I also remember when Sister Duo’er was just a little girl, always following behind me asking for candy. Thinking about it now, I feel reluctant to see her marry."
Having a daughter is heart-wrenching because, inevitably, she’ll one day belong to another family.
Yet, not marrying her off also brings unease.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings; hurry up and draw a card!" the old lady urged, as people of age preferred not to dwell on such sentimental topics.
Both Feng Clan and Zou Clan understood the old lady’s feelings and focused on playing cards.
The playing cards were made by Qiao Duo’er, who also taught them to play. It had become a major entertainment activity in the Feng Family.
After leaving the Tie Family, Qiao Duo’er asked, "All right, anything else you want to tell me?"
"It’s just... please don’t seek out Zhang Ziwen on your own; I’m afraid it will distract him from his studies. Wait for him to deliver tofu to your house, then talk to him. And don’t tell Uncle Zhang yet. If Zhang Ziwen really doesn’t want to, then let it be," Sister Duo’er said hesitantly, courageous in love yet fearful of seeming too forward to Zhang Ziwen.
Qiao Duo nodded, "Don’t worry, Zi Wen is studying in the academy and probably won’t return until Dragon Boat Festival. I’ll let you know the moment I hear anything."
"Thank you, Sister," Sister Duo’er answered.
However, Sister Duo’er still had many concerns in her heart, mainly fearing that Zhang Ziwen would look down on her.
Zhang Ziwen was the youngest Scholar in the village’s history. She always felt that he would top the imperial exams and then marry a wealthy lady.
To her, a coarse village girl, the chasm between them was enough to shatter all of Sister Duo’er’s stubbornness.
In the end, it was all due to her own insecurities.
Qiao Duo’er saw right through Sister Duo’er’s thoughts. "Isn’t Duo Meifang enough to make you proud?"
Sister Duo’er had her own enterprise; such a woman was more than suitable for any man!
