Chapter 816: Chapter 819 Didn’t You See Me?
Over the following days, Almond became extremely sensitive to any sound of movement outside and would always go out to check, but she never found anything suspicious.
There was no news from Lao Guang either.
Almond finally relaxed a bit, thinking it was probably just some madman spouting nonsense.
During these days, the Tan Family’s wheat had already been spread out on the ground to dry.
It was a day earlier than usual, thanks to the threshing machine.
They didn’t cultivate much land on their own, so they didn’t feel much impact.
But those families with more than ten acres of land were very grateful to the Tan Family, because the threshing machine saved them a lot of effort.
When it came to drying the grain, things were much easier.
All Tan Zhenghong had to do was spread the wheat in the yard early in the morning, flip it two or three times during the day, pile it up in the evening, and cover it with a tarpaulin.
The weather was particularly cooperative this harvest time, always sunny with a gentle breeze, and it was estimated it would only take three to five days to bring the wheat home.
Seizing the chance, Bai Yifan specifically chose this time to visit the Tan Family.
Tan Zhenghong certainly didn’t have much energy to look after Qiao Duo’er, as there were too many tasks to handle.
And if he saw anything wrong with Qiao Duo, he could take her away.
By the way, he could also lure Tan Zhenghong’s son back to become his successor.
If it were a girl, even better, he would definitely cherish her more.
When Bai Yifan arrived at the Tan Family, Tan Zhenghong was in the courtyard turning the wheat, while Qiao Duo was sitting on a swing nearby, the two of them chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere.
Bai Yifan was disappointed. Seeing Duo’er’s expression, he knew she was fine.
He was also envious. He, too, wanted such a girl to accompany him through the rest of his life.
With her, the rest of his life would be filled with beautiful scenery.
Qiao Duo was the first to spot Bai Yifan and quickly got down from the swing, "Brother Bai San, how come you have time to visit?"
The Bai Family’s main business was a pharmacy, but they also owned quite a few fields.
"You’re here again?" Tan Zhenghong looked at Bai Yifan with suspicion.
"I just came to see if I should take Duo’er away," Bai Yifan said indifferently.
"Don’t worry, my wife is very well." Tan Zhenghong was angry. Damn it, this guy actually wanted to take his wife away—he must have been too polite to him!
"What you say doesn’t matter, I am the doctor, and my word is what counts."
"You say you’re taking her pulse, but who knows what you’re up to?" Tan Zhenghong snorted lightly, still remembering the last time!
The two men started bickering like three-year-old boys, prompting Qiao Duo to roll her eyes.
"Brother San, don’t argue with him. Come and sit!"
Near the swing, there was a stone table and benches, and in this weather, it was perfect to sit and chat while drinking tea.
"Does Fourth Sister only have eyes for Brother Bai San and didn’t even notice someone else standing there?" Luo Qingfeng said discontentedly.
He was clearly handsomer than Bai Yifan!
When walking down the street, girls would first look at him and then at Bai Yifan.
But this Fourth Sister didn’t even seem to see him, which made him very angry!
Only then did Qiao Duo notice another person standing behind Bai Yifan—Luo Qingfeng, the esteemed master of poisons—also known as her legendary Second Brother Luo.
Luo Qingfeng had a penchant for flamboyant long shirts, which made him appear slightly dandyish, yet it accentuated his dashing charm, forming a stark contrast to the warm-hearted Bai Yifan.
Qiao Duo silently criticized, clearly two men who could rely on their looks, yet one loved poisons, and the other loved medicine.
"That’s because Second Brother is always elusive, like a dragon showing his head but never his tail. It’s only my second time seeing you, so it’s understandable that I didn’t notice you," Qiao Duo said with a giggling laugh.
