23: Chapter 23 Both of You Need to Make up for Lesson 1 23: Chapter 23 Both of You Need to Make up for Lesson 1 “Sister-in-law’s cooking is truly superb, big brother, you must try it!”
Sun Erhu placed a chicken leg into an empty bowl and passed it to Tan Zhenghong, his eyes full of envy.
Although the sister-in-law wasn’t very pretty to look at, marrying a wife in a farming household wasn’t about having someone to look at; the key was that she could work hard.
And the big sister-in-law ate her food quite elegantly, like the daughter of a wealthy family from town.
So all in all, this sister-in-law wasn’t too bad.
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, “Let her eat it, she’s too skinny.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Erhu’s ears turned red.
Hm…
Was he implying that his sister-in-law’s figure wasn’t good enough?
But saying this in front of him wasn’t quite appropriate.
After all, he was still an unmarried child.
Tan Zhenghong pursed his lips; he really just meant that Qiao Duo’er was too skinny and needed to take care of her health.
He swore he really had no other intentions!
Most importantly, although they were married, nothing had happened between them at all!
Sun Erhu naively said, “Big brother, just eat it yourself.
There’s still another chicken leg there, you two are newlyweds; you should both nourish yourselves.”
Qiao Duo’er glared at Tan Zhenghong, then began to focus on her meal.
She had always thought people in ancient times were very conservative.
She never expected them to make suggestive jokes.
“Um…
Sister-in-law, eat up, or Brother Hong will be worried.”
Sun Erhu continued to fan the flames; he just thought it was fun to embarrass both of them.
Qiao Duo’er gritted her teeth; she didn’t understand anything, so what was there to be embarrassed about?
The wild chicken could fly, so the meat on its wings was more delicate and had more texture; she decisively picked up a chicken wing into her bowl.
With Sun Erhu looking after Tan Zhenghong, Qiao Duo’er just needed to take care of herself.
After eating most of her bowl of rice and drinking a small bowl of soup, she put down her chopsticks.
The original body had always been in a state of hunger, and eating too much at once could easily harm the stomach.
“Duo’er, eat some more.” Tan Zhenghong said with concern.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, “I’m full.
You guys keep eating, I’m going to buy some daily necessities from town.”
They didn’t have a single pot or pan; they couldn’t always borrow from Sun Erhu’s house whenever they needed something, otherwise, she’d have to run back and forth three to five times a day.
Tan Zhenghong nodded, “Be careful.
The eldest sister-in-law should also be going to town to buy things, you can go with her.”
Qiao Duo’er acknowledged and walked outside.
Inside the house, Sun Erhu suddenly asked, “Brother Hong, didn’t you say that the sister-in-law was simple-minded?
Why are you still letting her manage things?”
“Don’t talk nonsense; your sister-in-law is fine,” Tan Zhenghong glared at Sun Erhu.
As for letting Qiao Duo manage the household, he felt that it was appropriate.
Sun Erhu seemed to mumble to himself, “I also think sister-in-law is very smart, not stupid at all.”
A simple-minded person would have a dull look in their eyes, but sister-in-law’s eyes are bright and lively, not matching a simpleton at all.
Tan Zhenghong didn’t explain; he had no plans to let a third person know about Qiao Duo’er’s situation.
After all, it was too unbelievable, and if others knew, they might start treating Qiao Duo’er like a ghost or a demon.
When Qiao Duo’er walked out the door, she saw Hu’s Clan coming out of her house with a basket too.
“Fourth younger sister-in-law, are you going to town?” Hu’s Clan called out to Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er nodded truthfully, and Hu’s Clan said, “I’m also going to town.
Wait for me a while.”
The fourth younger sister-in-law wasn’t too sharp, so with her accompanying, at least Qiao Duo’er wouldn’t be cheated by anyone.
Qiao Duo’er considered that going to town would take half an hour and thought that having company might be good.
Moreover, she wasn’t familiar with the prices in ancient times.
