Chapter 897: Chapter 900: Just Let It Dry
The person beside her tugged at her clothes, and the old lady hurriedly shut up.
If Tan Zhenghong heard this, she estimated that he would be in a hurry.
But she meant no harm, she was just stating the truth, an ugly and stupid girl could at most get a Hundred Wen as a dowry.
The Qiao family received ten times that amount, how could it not be considered selling the girl?
Qiao Laixi spoke discontentedly, "Don’t smear my daughter’s reputation; what’s wrong with my Da Ya?"
"That’s Duo’er’s fortune after marrying into the family, a blessing from the deities. What does that have to do with you? Always trying to put gold on your face, aren’t you ashamed!"
The old lady added another resentful comment.
The villagers’ Master Yun Xu said that after Qiao Duo’er fell into the water and her three souls returned, she became a normal person.
Many said it was the predestined relationship Ah Hong and Duo’er cultivated in their past lives.
Qiao Jingu and Liu’s family rolled their eyes at the speaking madam; this woman really liked to meddle!
"You all shouldn’t make a fuss either, the way you’ve treated them in the past, now whatever you say is too late."
"Even if we are in the wrong, we are still her parents; her disregard for us is unfilial!"
Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family took shamelessness to the extreme, no matter what others said, they always justified themselves.
They were Qiao Duo’s parents, and she should be filial to them.
"I think Zheng Hong and his daughter-in-law are not wrong. They are just treating others the way they were treated; is there a problem with that?"
"Uncle, Aunty, if you think Duo’er is not good, you can go speak to the Tan family. There’s no use talking about it here; we can’t help you. Folks, let’s disperse!"
A young daughter-in-law suggested.
Without an audience for their performance, naturally, they quieted down.
The more serious they were taken, the more those two would make a fuss.
"This damn weather can kill someone from the heat; better to go home and stay cool if you have the spare time!"
Sitting by the back door, there was a bit of breeze, which was much more comfortable than being toasted outside.
The crowd nodded in agreement and soon dispersed, heading to their respective homes.
Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family were so frustrated they stomped their feet. They had planned to use these people to argue their case, but now that everyone had left, what could they say?
"Old man, you better think of something fast!" Liu’s family urged anxiously.
After all, if they let this opportunity pass, there might not be many chances left.
To come over and make a scene, they needed a reason.
Qiao Laixi scratched his head irritably, "What can I do? Let’s go back; I’m about to get heatstroke."
Seeing the man was out of steam, Liu’s family also didn’t feel like making a fuss anymore.
All these events quickly reached Qiao Duo’s ears, and everyone was curious about her reaction.
Remembering how Duo’er used to handle the Tan family members, they guessed the Qiao family would not get off easily this time.
But the Tan family showed no reaction; Duo’er continued her days unbothered, eating when she should eat, sleeping when she should sleep, very comfortably.
She had no interest in letting two completely irrelevant people disturb her peace.
Qiao Jingu was afraid of her household’s two brutes and didn’t dare to visit, Qiao Laixi and Liu’s family were bullies who feared the tough and knew she was not to be trifled with so wouldn’t come knocking, leaving only Qiao Hua’er, who minded her own reputation too much to act rashly.
This meant that the family had no influence on her at all; if she were to take action, it would just be superfluous.
However, to reassure Qiao Mei’er, Qiao Duo still made a special trip to the Embroidery Room.
"Now the immediate danger is completely removed, but when you go out, you still have to be careful not to fall into the Qiao’s Family Members’ traps," Qiao Duo advised.
Given the Qiao Family’s nature, they were sure not to let off Mei’er, the soft persimmon. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
