Chapter 92: Rumors in the Village
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Yanhui had a guess about Xu Qing’s identity. Others didn’t know what this Regent wanted to do, but he knew that he was looking for a woman! If that was the case… Qiao Yanhui looked at Xu Qing deeply. No matter what, he wouldn’t let anyone snatch Xu Qing away!
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui, who had a strange expression, and asked in confusion, “You don’t understand?”
“As long as it’s something my wife says, I will understand.” Qiao Yanhui smiled foolishly.
Of course, Qiao Yanhui understood. He believed that it wouldn’t be long before he could understand the entire book with Xu Qing’s help. Moreover, the more he listened, the more impressive he felt this book was! If it was used on the battlefield…
The cells in Qiao Yanhui’s body kept clamoring, and his bloodthirsty genes were already boiling.
Xu Qing didn’t know what Qiao Yanhui was thinking. She only stopped when the three babies woke up. She put down the book and ran to see the babies.
Qiao Yanhui looked at the three cute and beautiful children in the cradle and felt a strange emotion. To be honest, he cared about the fact that these three children weren’t his, but compared to them, he cared more about Xu Qing. Love me, love my dog.
“Little Hui, look at Yuan’er. He doesn’t like to smile at all. Why does he look a little like you?” Xu Qing said casually. However, after saying that, she felt helpless. Could it be that just because she was going to marry Qiao Yanhui, she already had a sense of substitution? However, this was very unfair to Qiao Yanhui.
Qiao Yanhui responded and threw Yuan’er into the air. “Brat, I’m your father from now on. Hurry up and smile for me!”
Xu Yuanguang scowled.
Xu Qing was frightened and hurriedly stopped him. “Little Hui, don’t throw him. It’s dangerous! The baby’s body can’t take it.”
Qiao Yanhui hugged Yuan’er steadily. “Honey, it’s fine. Look, he’s smiling.”
Xu Qing looked at Yuan’er in surprise. He really smiled. However, this smile… was a little ugly! Xu Qing coughed awkwardly. Indeed, some people were better off with a poker face!
Qiao Yanhui was very satisfied with this and hugged Yuan’er tightly. He still liked these three children very much!
“Dad…” A soft voice came from Xu Tingdeng, who was in Xu Qing’s arms.
Xu Qing was a little jealous. This was her second son. Although he was just shouting out randomly, he didn’t know how to call her mother.
“Honey, Ting’er called me Daddy.” Qiao Yanhui was very happy. He hugged Ting’er and kissed him.
Xu Qing’s eyes were filled with mirth as she watched them play together. The children were already more than five months old and were getting stronger every day. However, because Xu Hanxue was born with a congenital deficiency, she developed slower than her two sons. Even if Xu Qing helped her recuperate, there would still be repercussions.
Fortunately, she had been relatively free these few days. Of course, it was also because Qu Feng didn’t let Xu Qing go out. Because she was getting married now but often went to the town, coupled with her secret identity as Bei Shu, there were many rumors in the village. Qu Feng was a conservative woman and was angry for a few days.
Xu Qing brought the children to bask in the sun. When she saw Qu Feng, she was still depressed. “Mother, someone spread rumors again? I’ll deal with it. Don’t be angry. It won’t be worth it if you’re angry.”
“It’s not that. It’s your brother Xu Nai’s marriage!” Qu Feng put down the embroidered cloth and frowned.
Xu Qing’s eyes flickered. “Marriage?”
“I don’t know what Old Master Xu is thinking, but he wants Xu Nai to marry a girl from downtown. Now, that girl doesn’t want a house anymore. She wants 300,000 yuan in dowry before she will be willing to marry him! Yesterday, when you weren’t around, your grandparents came to ask us for money. We said that we didn’t have money. In the end, when I went out today, there were all sorts of rumors in the village.” Qu Feng had a pained expression. They were both their sons and daughter-in-laws. Could it be that they should be bullied just because they had a good temper?
After Xu Qing heard this, she knew what the villagers probably said. They probably said that their family led a good life now and no longer acknowledged their poor relatives.
“Mother, how much do they want us to pay?” Xu Qing asked.
At the mention of this, Qu Feng became even angrier. “Two hundred thousand!”
Xu Qing sneered. “They’re really delusional and greedy! Mother, if they come to ask for money again, keep saying that we don’t have money. As for the gossip in the village, I’ll deal with it.”
“Don’t worry, I understand.” Her daughter had worked hard to earn money for this family. How could she give it to the Xu family? How had their family lived all these years? Qu Feng wouldn’t be stupid again.
