Chapter 781: Chapter 787 Miss me?_1
Qiao Hua’er lightly sneered, "Which respectable official doesn’t go to the Government Office to work? Only Tan Zhenghong stays at home all day, I heard he even leads people up the mountain to hunt."
So she never believed it when others said how powerful the Tan Family was.
If they were really that powerful, would Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er need to do work by themselves?
Anyway, if it were her, she would have bought maids and servants to attend to her long ago.
Liu’s family couldn’t help but ask, "Where did you hear all this? Don’t go spreading it around in the future."
"Young Master Du Er said it; he’s seen a lot and knows a lot, he definitely wouldn’t talk nonsense."
Qiao Hua’er said shyly, Du Haofeng, the youngest son of the landlord’s family, was also the man of her dreams.
If she could marry into the Du Family, her days would be set.
Knowing that it was Young Master Du who had said it, Liu’s family believed more than half of it, for Young Master Du was literate, unlike those toiling in the fields.
Qiao Jingu chimed in at the right moment, "I think so too, what kind of official wears such shabby clothes? Xu Yuanwai always wears silk, which must be a lot better than what Tan Zhenghong wears!"
Qiao Laixi felt a headache coming on; if what his son and daughter said were true, then his previous calculations would be for naught.
But he was also afraid of pushing Third Girl to desperate actions, and then he wouldn’t be able to explain to Xu Yuanwai.
"Let’s think of a solution, see how we can get Third Boss back." 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Qiao Hua’er’s eyes darted about as a sly idea popped into her head.
"Why not let Xu Yuanwai give the Tan Family a warning shot? After that, they’d surely cling to us; then, when we go to the Tan Family, we can at least have a good meal."
Even though Qiao Mei’er would marry into the family as a concubine, that still constituted a marital connection.
Leaning on that relationship, the Qiao Family’s spine could also stiffen.
Qiao Jingu gave a thumbs up, "My brother-in-law might be a bit wealthier than we thought, maybe we can wrangle something out of it."
Liu’s wife, indecisive as ever, could only look to Qiao Laixi, "Husband, could this work?"
Qiao Laixi tapped on his smoking pipe, "You all go out and inquire these next few days, see what kind of official our son-in-law really is."
If he’s of no use at all, then there’s no need to save face for them.
Qiao Hua’er readily agreed, the villagers with their muddy legs surely couldn’t tell, she would have to ask her Brother Du Er!
She couldn’t wait to go to the Du Family and, as she wished, she got to see Du Haofeng.
With a flirtatious tone, Du Haofeng hooked Qiao Hua’er’s chin, "Missed me again?"
"Brother Er, don’t do this, I just want to know what use a Sixth Rank Inspector has."
Qiao Hua’er feigned dodging a couple of times, then conveniently collapsed into Du Haofeng’s arms.
She really liked the feeling of almost taking flight that Du Haofeng brought her.
As Du Haofeng’s hand slid up from under her clothes, he perfunctorily said, "No use at all, why do you keep asking about this? Do you want to be a concubine for your brother-in-law?"
He wasn’t about to tell his woman about another man’s power, that would be like slapping his own face, wouldn’t it?
"I... No, it’s my dad... He wants to add to my sister’s dowry, to acknowledge the marital connection back," said Qiao Hua’er, her voice faltering and her cheeks flushing.
Du Haofeng was well aware of her body’s reactions, a little tease and her legs would go weak.
She knew girls should be reserved, but at times like this she simply couldn’t control herself.
She really wished Du Haofeng would go on...
Du Haofeng had no intention of stopping either, his fingers twitched and soon Qiao Hua’er was stripped bare, his wicked hands igniting fires all over her.
He never turned down a woman who came knocking at his door, especially when Qiao Hua’er was quite a good-looking woman indeed.
