Qiao Duo’er said cheerfully, “Of course you can!”
Er Ya thanked her quickly, then with one hand holding a dumpling, she trotted happily toward her own home.
Inside the house, Sun Erhu said with a laugh, “Brother Hong, your sister-in-law seems to really like kids.
You should hurry up and have one with her, so she won’t always be envious of other people’s children.”
Tan Zhenghong glared at Sun Erhu without amusement; he couldn’t very well say they hadn’t even kissed.
And besides…
he still wasn’t sure about Qiao Duo’er’s feelings.
She was staying now, just because he had broken his leg and needed someone to take care of him, but maybe once he was healed, she would leave.
Just the thought of Qiao Duo’er possibly leaving one day made his heart sour.
It had only been a few days since they met, yet she had already taken up such an important place in his heart, perhaps because she stood by him so steadfastly when he was most helpless.
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, feeling ever since he had broken his leg, he had become increasingly sentimental.
Soon enough, a large pot came to a boil, and Qiao Duo’er carried a basin of water into the room.
“Everyone rest now, we’ll continue weaving tomorrow.
Erhu, you help Fourth Boss wash his hair and bathe, and remember not to move his leg.
I’ll change his dressing tonight.”
Qiao Duo’er chuckled to herself; how could she not make use of Sun Erhu, this free laborer?
After giving her instructions, Qiao Duo’er went out; she still had to prepare the face-cleansing medicine.
She certainly did not want to put up with a face full of scars every day in the future.
Today she picked two kinds of herbs, Bai Ji and Bai Zhi, both of which are renowned for their whitening properties.
The usage of these herbs was similar, taking their stout rhizomes, washing them clean, steaming them thoroughly over water, then cutting them into thin slices with a bamboo knife, and after they dried, grinding them into powder.
Meaning from tomorrow on, she could mix the herbal powder with water into a paste to apply on her face, which would not only treat her sores but also whiten her skin.
With an egg white face mask on top of that, the effect would certainly be even better.
Qiao Duo’er could hardly contain her excitement as she imagined herself shedding the scars and becoming fair and tender.
She would definitely be gorgeous!
Suddenly, a burst of enthusiastic conversation came from inside the house.
“Be gentle, it hurts!”
“Don’t move, I’ll be gentler.”
“Hurry up, why keep staring?”
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but laugh.
As a fujoshi, her mind couldn’t help but wander, hehe, the love between men is so adorable.
Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu were both robust men, each around one meter eighty in height; they were better suited as equals in a relationship…
At this time, Tan Zhengyuan was walking around the village.
The villagers, having finished their dinner, were in groups under the trees enjoying the cooler air and gathering to chat, which was nice to avoid boredom at home.
Seeing Tan Zhengyuan, they naturally thought of the Tan Family’s division of property.
One person asked with a smile, “Big Brother Tan, I heard your family has divided up the property, eh?
Tell us, what happened?”
“What is there to say?
Fourth Boss got married, so of course it was time to divide the household,” Tan Zhenghong laughed it off, clearly indicating he didn’t want to discuss the matter.
The division was so close to his heart that it nearly broke him, and these people just had to bring it up, weren’t they just adding insult to injury?
But those people didn’t care because the village only had so many happenings to talk about.
“How much did your family divide?
I’m really curious,” one person said, showing interest.
Tan Zhengyuan managed his temper and said, “How much could be divided?
It was pretty much the same for Third Boss and Fourth Boss.”
“You’re the eldest in your family, your parents must be living with you, right?”
“I saw them moving their stuff to the east wing today, they definitely aren’t living with him.”
