Chapter 778: Chapter 783: Dog Chasing People_1
After Qiao Mei’er came out, he took the Silver for himself and then sent Qiao Mei’er to Xu Yuanwai, so he could take another share of Silver.
It must be about ten or so taels, truly unexpected wealth!
"She doesn’t want to see you now, and you’d better hurry back home and let your dad and mom have a few more daughters; later on, you can just live off selling them," Qiao Duo’er said coldly.
Raising a girl in the Qiao Family is very profitable; having a few more would definitely make one wealthy and successful.
They can work from the age of three, toil for about a decade, and then be sold off - just one could provide for the whole family for years, it’s a no-loss deal.
The Qiao Family had already sold two girls and was left with only the more shrewd Qiao Hua’er.
Not selling her now doesn’t mean she is safe, it just means they haven’t found a suitable buyer or haven’t agreed on the right price.
After saying this, Qiao Duo’er slammed the door shut with a smack, fearing she would be angered to death if she continued!
"Idiot, open the door! If you don’t let Qiao Mei’er out, I will beat you all to death!"
"Do you know who Xu Yuanwai is? If you offend him, he could kill you all with just a flick of his fingers!"
"Hurry out and kneel to apologize to me, then I’ll forgive you!"
...
"Drive him away!" Qiao Duo’er said with disgust.
She really couldn’t believe how noisy a boy could be.
Following the order, Fat Fat and Fatty squeezed out of the dog hole and incredibly chased Qiao Jingu all the way to the village entrance before giving up.
Finally, there was some peace. Qiao Duo’er patted her chest, looking somewhat pale.
Tan Zhenghong noticed her discomfort immediately: "Wife, don’t be angry with him. It’s not worth getting sick over."
"It’s nothing. Just felt sickened, a bit tight in the chest," Qiao Duo’er said weakly, feeling lackluster.
Tan Zhenghong anxiously helped his wife into the house and brewed her a cup of dried tangerine peel water.
After drinking it, Qiao Duo’er finally felt relieved, but it still scared Tan Zhenghong considerably.
He had never seen his wife get so outraged before.
"Next time he comes, leave him to me. That scoundrel is spoiled rotten; a good thrashing will straighten him out."
Tan Zhenghong gently patted Qiao Duo’er’s back to help ease her breathing.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head: "With Fat Fat and the others here, why would you need to lift a finger?"
It’s a pity about Qiao Jingu’s intelligence - he was a smart child, just not smart enough to take the right path.
Actually, he was innocent; after all, being born into the Qiao Family wasn’t something he could choose.
"Let’s forget about him. I’ll go to the cellar and get some tangerines from last year. Eating a couple of those will surely make you feel better," Tan Zhenghong said, mussing his wife’s hair with eyes full of indulgence.
Qiao Duo’er obediently nodded: "Hurry up."
At the mention of it, she really began to crave them, wishing she could eat the sour and sweet tangerines right away.
It wasn’t long before Tan Zhenghong delivered peeled tangerines to Qiao Duo’er’s mouth.
The cool sensation spread all the way to her heart, completely dispersing the discomfort.
No wonder there are so many food lovers; eating inherently has healing properties, the more you eat, the happier you feel. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Qiao Duo’er devoured three tangerines in one breath and still felt unsatisfied.
Tan Zhenghong hurriedly said, "Rest a bit before you eat more, too many cold things are not good for the body."
"But I’m not full," Qiao Duo’er pouted.
She felt she could eat an entire basket.
Under her act of cuteness, Tan Zhenghong could only peel one more tangerine: "This is the last one, if you’re still hungry after that I’ll make you some food."
