75: Chapter 76 A Pair of Wild Mandarin Ducks_1 75: Chapter 76 A Pair of Wild Mandarin Ducks_1 Wang Clan only appeared fierce on the surface but was actually indecisive.
Seeing both daughters-in-law speak this way, she agreed too.
“Alright, let’s do that!”
Qiao Duo’er once again confirmed, “This is a serious matter.
Have you thought it through?”
“Don’t worry, if I have wronged you, I will certainly sever the mother-son relationship with Fourth Boss!”
Wang Clan’s voice trembled slightly, betraying her emotions at that moment.
She believed that what was fake was fake and that the truth would reveal itself.
With Wang Clan’s words, Qiao Duo’er felt relieved.
If Wang Clan had refused to speak, she would have had to go to more trouble.
“It’s not too interesting with only so few people here.
Erhu, go invite the village chief over.”
Little Wang Clan was a bit incredulous.
Did someone really seek death like this?
Inviting the village head over would certainly turn this matter into a big deal!
Showing rare kindness, Little Wang Clan said well-meaningly, “Have you thought this through?
Don’t throw yourself out and then seek death or life again.
Last time you didn’t die jumping into the river because you were lucky, but you won’t always have such luck!”
Sun Erhu’s steps halted upon hearing this, and he looked uncertainly at Qiao Duo’er.
The whole village knew about Qiao Duo’er’s suicide attempt, and because of it, the Tan Family had been criticized by the villagers.
The reason was that none of the Tan Family Members showed up when Qiao Duo’er jumped into the river.
In the end, it was the village chief who had his eldest girl send Qiao Duo’er back home.
Tan Zhenghong had a broken leg and lay alone in his room, completely unaware of Qiao Duo’er’s despair.
But were the others lame too?
Indeed they were lame, but it was their heart that was crippled.
“The decision is mine.
Whatever the consequences, I will bear them alone.”
Qiao Duo’er stated resolutely, her attitude giving Sun Erhu a great deal of courage.
Erhu nodded seriously, “Yes, we are clear and innocent.
We don’t need to fear false accusations; even if it costs me my life, I’ll protect you for Brother Hong!”
He had received so many kindnesses from Brother Hong, and all his martial skills were taught by him; now was the time to repay him.
Qiao Duo’er did not say much more.
What if Little Wang Clan noticed something and they changed their mind at the last moment?
There’s a good saying: Life is like a play; it all depends on the acting.
Seeing how Erhu was protecting Qiao Duo’er, Little Wang Clan felt even more displeased.
“True to the saying, a pair of adulterers, facing imminent death and still so reluctant to part.
Why not go and talk to Fourth Boss and make it happen for you two wild lovebirds!”
Little Wang Clan said with a sarcastic tone.
Li Clan laughed, “Second sister-in-law, what are you babbling about?
The younger sister-in-law was bought with silver.
Now we’ve tarnished the reputation of the Old Tan Family, do we also want to lose the silver as well?”
“What’s there to worry about?
Does Sun Erhu think he can marry a bride without spending silver?”
Wang Clan glanced at Li Clan; that was a reasonable point indeed!
Reputation she could do without, but the silver was non-negotiable.
Qiao Duo’er spoke discontentedly, “You’re all so noisy.”
The weather was already hot.
Combined with these people’s endless chatter, it made her even more irritable.
Little Wang Clan wiped some sweat away, “Younger sister-in-law, there’s still time for you to admit your fault and salvage your reputation.”
“Do you think you speak softly?
That few know of this?”
Unable to restrain herself, Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes dramatically.
Sun Erhu’s Home was already full of onlookers.
Wasn’t her reputation already being dragged through the mud?
Little Wang Clan said with insincere concern, “Don’t blame me for being nosy, sister-in-law.
It just pains my heart to see the Tan Family lose face.”
Qiao Duo scoffed and said no more.
They all thought she was being defensive; she didn’t bother to explain.
