61: Chapter 62 The Purchased Servant_1 61: Chapter 62 The Purchased Servant_1 Tan Zhengyong murmured, “You’ve already been taken advantage of more than once, haven’t you learned your lesson?”
But he didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.
Wang Clan squinted and said, “It’s fine, we still have the two of us old folks here, she won’t be able to turn the sky upside down no matter what.”
“Exactly, as long as we solidify this matter, let’s see how she can still jump around!”
Little Wang Clan was quite smug; she was already fantasizing about her schemes bearing fruit.
At that moment, Qiao Duo’er was carefully sewing her own clothes, feeling very delighted.
“You make that piece of fabric into your clothes too; I can wear anything at home,” Tan Zhenghong couldn’t help but say.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, “That color is too ugly; you wear it.
Once I finish this one, I’ll have money to buy new fabric.”
She was back to being sixteen; of course, she had to wear something beautiful, right?
Tan Zhenghong weakly said, “Duo’er, you are so kind.”
“That’s right, even I think I’m kind!” Qiao Duo’er said with a giggle.
She admitted that she had never felt bad about herself.
Tan Zhenghong smiled faintly, “Don’t always focus on the needlework; it’s bad for your eyes.
Take a break.”
“Alright, I’ll go boil some water.” Qiao Duo’er put down the needlework and went to boil water.
In the future, she needed to buy a stove to bring home.
It would be convenient for boiling water and stewing soups, rather than having to start a fire to heat the pot every time.
Having lit the fire, Qiao Duo’er also started to knead dough in a small pot, as the household had finished their supply of steamed buns, and it was a good opportunity to make more.
Suddenly feeling someone behind her, Qiao Duo’er turned around to look.
Xiao Fu was two meters away from Qiao Duo’er, and seeing that he was discovered, he pulled a face at Qiao Duo’er and cursed, “Ugly woman.”
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at him, but didn’t care to bother with him.
Why should an adult like her quibble with a mischievous brat?
However, Xiao Fu thought Qiao Duo’er was an easy target; kids have a short memory, and he had already forgotten the lesson Qiao Duo’er had taught him.
He threw the stone in his hand at Qiao Duo’er, but his strength was puny, and he didn’t manage to hit her.
Qiao Duo’er’s expression darkened a bit, but she still remained silent, giving Xiao Fu a look of disdain.
If your skills are this terrible, why bother making a fool of yourself, right?
“Staring at what?
Be careful, or I’ll have my grandma come and beat you to death!” Xiao Fu retorted, sticking out his neck.
This woman often secretly enjoyed good food, but she never gave any to him.
So he was angry; he decided he needed to teach this woman a lesson.
Qiao Duo’er said in a low voice, “Get lost, you make me nauseous just by looking at you.”
She didn’t want to pick on a child, but if the child was asking for trouble, she didn’t need to be courteous.
Xiao Fu snorted, “This is my home; if anyone’s going to leave, it’s you.
Who do you think you are?
My grandparents spent ‘One Tael of Silver’ to buy you to serve me!”
So he was saying she was just a Servant, what right did she have to talk to him like that?
“You?
Worthy of my service?
Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see what you’re like!” Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes again.
The fact that this unruly kid hadn’t been beaten to death yet was a miracle.
She really wanted to shout, “Whose brat is this?
Won’t someone please tie him up?”
“You were dirt cheap, sold for merely ‘One Tael of Silver’; you’re worthless!” Xiao Fu continued to taunt Qiao Duo’er.
“Even if someone like you was given away for free, no one would want you!” Qiao Duo’er said irritably.
Xiao Fu pursed his lips, feeling wronged.
And whenever he felt wronged, what should he do?
Of course, he’d bring out his amulet for protection.
