Chapter 896: Chapter 899: Losing Until Bleeding
Qiao Duo’er gave a thumbs up; she was very satisfied with Tan Zhenghong’s performance.
When dealing with Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family, all it took was one phrase: no silver.
This tactic never failed.
"I just hate how they treat their daughters like grass. Aren’t daughters also born to them? Why is their attitude different from how they treat their sons?"
If he could have a daughter in this life, he would surely give her the best of everything, because she would deserve it.
But the Qiao family was something else, even brazenly claiming it made sense for a daughter to support a son.
"They probably think not killing their daughter at birth was a great kindness, that raising her caused them many hardships," Qiao Duo’er said with a curl of her lip.
Once their daughter was of age, she could marry off, and that would be their time to reap the rewards.
But the Qiao family’s daughters grew up by themselves, worked as soon as they were able, and never had a moment of leisure, so there was no question of them having suffered. How shameless did they have to be to expect a return?
"Ah Hong, our baby will be happy, right?"
Qiao Duo’er gently touched her stomach, and from her perspective, she would give love to her child, not demand it.
She believed that children raised with love knew how to give, and how to love in return.
Tan Zhenghong nodded vigorously: "I will protect the two of you and make you the happiest people."
To him, having a wife and baby was the happiest life.
Qiao Duo’er laughed foolishly, hoping the little one would arrive on time, and from then on, a happy family of three would live in this world.
Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family failed to find a breakthrough with Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong, so they turned to make a scene in the Embroidery Room. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
But the Embroidery Room was closely watched, and they were blocked from causing trouble before they could even start.
Now Liu’s wishful thinking had come to nothing.
Qiao Laixi angrily said, "It must be that Foolish girl’s doing. She just can’t stand to see us well off."
Liu agreed, otherwise, they wouldn’t have failed to even meet Qiao Mei’er’s face.
The more Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family thought about it, the more outraged they became, and they simply sat under the tree shade, cursing up a storm.
If Qiao Duo’er made things difficult for them, there was no need for them to make things comfortable for her.
"Daughters are all money-losing goods; none of them are good!"
"Either they’re thinking about themselves or their husband’s family, no one cares about the wellbeing of their own parents anymore."
"Let’s see how good your days are without the backing of your parents’ home in the future. If you get divorced, you won’t even have a place to land!"
Their loud complaints attracted many onlookers, and despite the scorching weather, people fanned themselves with large palm-leaf fans to watch the commotion.
"If parents valued their daughters, would daughters ever forget the kindness of being brought into this world?"
"At home, they’re like beasts of burden, and when married off, they can even bring in silver. It’s absolutely a business where you can’t lose. What talk of kindness is there?"
"I think you two just deserve it, anyway. Who in our village has Qiao Duo been unkind to? It’s you two who make people feel sick to their stomachs!"
"Don’t you ask for a bride price when marrying off your daughters? My Qiao family asked for only One Tael of silver for Da Ya. How is that selling off a daughter?" Liu disputed, unconvinced.
It was her impatience. If she had known about Qiao Duo’s transformation earlier, she would have kept her for a few more years.
With Qiao Duo’s current looks and skills, earning a hundred or ten tales of bride price wouldn’t be hard at all.
Alas, such a huge loss!
"We’ve all seen what Qiao Duo’er was like when she first came over," a matron retorted discontentedly.
When Qiao Duo’er first came over, she was silly and filthy, and normal people would avoid her. Could they really expect to sell her for a sky-high price?
