Chapter 805: Chapter 808 Unusual Incidents
"Fourth Uncle, Grandpa and Grandma went to work in the fields this morning without having breakfast, and now that you have something to eat, how can you eat alone? Grandma almost lost her life giving birth to you, and even if she did something wrong, you can’t treat her like this!"
Xiao Fu, with hands on hips, accused Tan Zhenghong.
He tried his best, but still couldn’t control his eyes, which kept glancing over towards the chicken soup.
Since the division of the Old Tan Family, one thing after another had happened, life had become increasingly straitened, and eating meat was a luxury.
There wasn’t a drop of oil in his stomach; the smell of meat made him lose control.
That chicken soup was particularly fragrant; he could smell it from a distance.
He barely managed to think up this excuse, and fortunately, his Fourth Uncle hadn’t finished all of it yet.
Tan Zhenghong furrowed his brows, was this insinuating that he was unfilial?
He knew he could never repay the half-life debt he owed to his mother, without her suffering, he wouldn’t exist.
After cutting off relations, he sent things over to them three times a year through Uncle Tie.
Given the way his parents treated him and Duo’er, wasn’t what he had done already enough?
Actually, even if he ignored them completely, no one could fault him.
Xiao Fu spoke again, "Hurry up and give me the food so I can take it to Grandpa and Grandma."
"Ah Hong should indeed be filial to his parents, but it’s not your place to send it over," Qiao Duo’er said indifferently.
Tan Zhenghong was puzzled, but before he could voice his confusion, Qiao Duo’er had already picked up the bowl and was walking towards the fields where Tan Yuancheng and the Wang Clan were.
Xiao Fu said disdainfully, "Hmph, just knows how to listen to his wife!"
After saying this, he ran after Qiao Duo’er; he was the person Grandpa and Grandma doted on the most, would they not think of him when there was good food?
So whether Qiao Duo’er allowed him to send it or not, the chicken soup was his!
"You drink the chicken soup and nourish your bodies," Qiao Duo’er said in a tone that brooked no refusal.
The Wang Clan sneaked a glance at Qiao Duo’er, her eyes filled with fear.
"That... you two eat it yourselves."
Xiao Fu swallowed hard, "Grandma, Fourth Uncle is your son; what’s wrong with you drinking a bowl of his chicken soup?"
The soup won’t taste good once it’s cold, so you’d better take it quickly!
The Wang Clan glanced at Tan Yuancheng; she wanted to take it, but how could she dare?
Back when she wanted a piece of meat from the Fourth Boss’s House, Qiao Duo raised a cleaver. How could Qiao Duo’er possibly be kindly bringing her food now?
If there was poison in it, wouldn’t she die crying?
Tan Yuancheng weakly said, "This is a token of Fourth Boss’s goodwill, you should take it."
In his entire life, he never had such delicious chicken soup, even just one taste would leave him without regrets in death.
But he was too proud to take it himself.
"Ah Hong heard you two didn’t eat this morning and went to the fields, so he specifically asked us to bring this to you; if you don’t eat, aren’t you letting down his good intentions?"
Qiao Duo’s eyes curved with her smile, her attitude very gentle.
The Wang Clan still felt uneasy, she thought the fierce Qiao Duo’er was more normal.
This gentle demeanor made her suspect a hidden agenda, and she couldn’t let her guard down.
"Grandma, hurry up!" Xiao Fu was so anxious he was scratching his cheeks.
"Yeah, this bowl is quite heavy."
Qiao Duo’er tried to appear as harmless as possible; was she really that scary?
Was it just because she sent Xiao Biyu and Tan Zhengyuan to jail and brought Da Ya and Er Ya back from a gang of bandits?
The Wang Clan looked at Qiao Duo’er again and then timidly took the bowl of soup from her hands.
All of this was farmland; so many people were working, Qiao Duo’er probably didn’t have the nerve to hurt her, right?
Though she was a Sixth Rank Official Lady, she would still have to pay with her life if she killed someone.
