Chapter 892: Chapter 895 Fool
Qiao Laixi then said, "They said if you’re angry, just go and find them; they’re sure to cool you down."
No man could endure such contempt. Xu Yuanwai immediately asked indignantly, "Who is so brazen?"
He was eager to see who was bold enough to utter such arrogant words!
"I know where that family lives, I’ll take you there right now."
Liu’s family said cleverly.
At this point, she didn’t want a mere message to ruin all their plans.
Qiao Laixi nodded, "Right, if you want to go, you can do so now, but I’m afraid it’ll be a bit inconvenient for you, as that family lives in another village."
Xu Yuanwai said solemnly, "No more nonsense, lead the way quickly!"
How could he tolerate being humiliated by a mere bumpkin?
Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family exchanged a glance, joy evident in their eyes.
With Xu Yuanwai on their side, the Tan Family would definitely cough up the silver.
And... before this, they had already discussed how to spend the silver.
Their thatched cottage had been around for too long, they needed to rebuild it, and to build one as imposing as the Tan Family’s house.
Jin Gui’s clothes were worn out, and he needed two new sets made.
They also needed to buy more land, whether to rent it out or farm it themselves, it would bring in income.
Qiao Hua’er glanced at Qiao Jingu, "Aren’t you going to take a look?"
She thought that her dumb parents surely couldn’t outsmart Qiao Duo.
Qiao Jingu, still shaken by the memory of the Tan Family’s two big dogs, but he definitely wouldn’t show it, "You nosy girl, what are you worrying about? I’m telling you, if you dare touch this silver again, I’ll beat you to death!"
Qiao Hua’er rolled her eyes in disgust. What bad luck to have such a foolish brother!
Forget it, let him dig his own grave.
Once she married into the Du Family, she would cut ties with these idiots immediately.
Guided by Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family, an enraged Xu Yuanwai headed for the Tan Family.
"Master, why don’t you have the Qiao Family compensate with silver and find you another better one?"
The housekeeper advised.
The Xu family had always relied on their daughters to build their fortune, which was already something people looked down on.
Now to be making such a fuss over a country girl would invite even more ridicule.
Xu Yuanwai insisted, "I am set on Qiao Mei’er; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face anyone ever again!"
A promised concubine snatched away, and he, unable to say anything about it, that would truly be a disgrace!
The housekeeper could only keep silent, as he was but a servant.
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Yuanwai had thought of numerous ways to teach that family a lesson. But at the sight of Qiao Duo, he suddenly changed his mind.
The woman of the house had a lovely face and a graceful figure, and though she was pregnant, she was still an exceptional beauty.
How could he miss out on such a catch?
Exchanging Qiao Mei’er for this woman, he honestly wouldn’t be at a loss.
Thus, from the moment he entered the house, Xu Yuanwai’s lecherous eyes never left Qiao Duo.
And the maid beside her, though her face was less attractive, was young and untouched, which held its own appeal.
If he could take both the mistress and her maid back with him, his life would be perfect.
Tan Zhenghong stood protectively in front of his wife, his expression stern.
"Master Xu, let’s talk business."
If he came just to oggle his wife, he wouldn’t be courteous any longer.
Master Xu withdrew his gaze and huffed, "I had already given the Qiao Family a betrothal gift to take the third daughter as a concubine. Her parents had agreed, but now you’ve snatched her first; shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"
