72: Chapter 73 Stealing Clothes_1
72 -73 Stealing Clothes_1
Her stomach wasn’t hurting that day, but the flow was a bit heavy, so Qiao Duo’er washed her clothes three times, and as a result, the clothesline outside was loaded with garments.
By evening, Er Ya snuck into Qiao Duo’er’s room, crouching low.
Er Ya sneakily glanced at Tan Zhenghong; she was still very afraid of this uncle who often kept a stern face.
With a chuckle, Qiao Duo’er said, “Don’t mind him, just tell me, okay?”
Er Ya nodded, then leaned in close to Qiao Duo’er’s ear and whispered, “Today, Second Auntie came to steal your clothes.”
Qiao Duo’er blinked, steal her clothes?
She hadn’t even finished making her new clothes and was still wearing worn clothes full of patches—who would desire her garments from the Little Wang Clan?
After all, Little Wang Clan wore fine cloth garments, and at most they were only half-worn.
Doesn’t that just show the Tan Family’s decent standard of living?
“Did you see which clothes were stolen?” Qiao Duo’er asked with curiosity.
Er Ya muttered hesitantly, “It was…
the bellyband; my mother told me to hurry and tell you!”
Qiao Duo’er nodded, “This must be kept absolutely secret.”
Er Ya instantly agreed and sneaked back to her own home; as soon as she left, Qiao Duo’er’s face instantly darkened.
Little Wang Clan stealing her bellyband had a simple motive: to set her up.
If the accusation of her being involved with another man turned out to be true, whether she’d end up drowned in a pig cage or sold off would come down to their word alone, even Tan Zhenghong would have no say in the matter.
Hmph, Little Wang Clan’s intentions are truly vicious!
“Did my mother and the rest do something again?” Tan Zhenghong asked with a serious face.
After thinking it over, Qiao Duo’er decided to tell the truth, utterly speechless with Tan Zhenghong and his extended family.
“I’ll chop her!” Tan Zhenghong bit his teeth fiercely, having forgotten about his broken leg in his anger; he started to get out of bed as he spoke.
If he didn’t kill his second sister-in-law this time, he would be unworthy of being a man!
Qiao Duo’er, quick to react, immediately grabbed Tan Zhenghong.
She hadn’t anticipated such an extreme reaction from him.
This looked like a fight to the death!
“Don’t be rash, murder will cost you your life!” Qiao Duo’er urged in a hushed tone.
She had her own plan for the situation, and now they couldn’t let anyone else know about it.
“You are my wife, and I can’t let anyone insult you, even if I have to risk my life!” Tan Zhenghong said with eyes bloodshot.
Qiao Duo’er soothed him gently, “Is it worth exchanging your life for hers?
Calm down.
We should use their own strategy against them and teach her a lesson.”
Death was not difficult.
With the swing of a blade, a life could be taken—although that would be too easy on Little Wang Clan.
Tan Zhenghong looked at Qiao Duo’er, “Use their own strategy against them?”
“Mhm, don’t you trust me?” Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow.
Tan Zhenghong nodded earnestly, “Of course I trust you, but I’m the man and I have to protect my wife!”

Qiao Duo’er cleared her throat, her face unconsciously heating up.
It was enough that Tan Zhenghong had the intention to protect her, but for the time being, she could handle the situation herself.
She was brimming with confidence, but Tan Zhenghong was still brooding with anger, hating his own leg!
Qiao Duo’er said with a smile, “There’s nothing fun around here anyway, so let’s amuse ourselves with her as a distraction.
Also, you need to save up more money—once we move out, they won’t be able to bother me anymore.”
Besides, just having this one room to live in was far too suffocating.
Tan Zhenghong nodded seriously; that he could definitely do.
But as a man, failing to this point was too much for him—he couldn’t even stand himself!
