My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!
Chapter 1024 - 1029: Ignoring

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1029: Ignoring

Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "A no-cost business? You’re a merchant’s wife after all, do you really believe such good fortune exists?"

"Did I speak incorrectly?"

Wang Yun’s voice was hoarse with exertion as she spoke, but the next second she suddenly knelt on the ground, "I truly have no other option, please save the Niu Family!"

Qiao Duo’er curled her lips; was this a split personality?

Duo’er quickly realized what was happening as she saw Tan Zhenghong entering the room at a trot.

She was pretending to be pitiful to sow discord between her and Tan Zhenghong.

Unfortunately for Wang Yun, her cunning plan did not work, because the person Tan Zhenghong lashed out at wasn’t her, but Wang Yun.

"What are you doing? I told you my wife is not in good health, how can you still come and disturb her?"

Tan Zhenghong picked Wang Yun up from the ground.

Crying, Wang Yun said, "Why did my father raise an ingrate like you? I can barely survive, and you can actually stand by and do nothing?"

"Cousin, are you really forcing me to tell the truth?" Tan Zhenghong said impatiently.

The Niu Family had previously lived in White Stone County, and although they moved away last year, many of their businesses were still left in White Stone Town, including a grain and oil shop.

This was the Niu Family’s cornerstone business, but it was also the one suffering the heaviest losses.

But these were all consequences of their own doing; previously selling smuggled salt to Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, they were caught and fined a large amount of silver. Without the smuggled salt, their profits drastically decreased, and they began selling substandard goods and short-weight products.

If he helped them with all his might, his conscience would not allow it!

Wang Yun felt a twinge of guilt, but she quickly covered it up.

"You promised my father you would take good care of me. If the Niu Family falls, how am I supposed to live?"

"My life is so hard," she lamented, "Your parents made me a concubine, and now you are heartless and ungrateful. I might as well take Zi Jun and die!"

Tan Zhenghong enunciated every word, "The Niu Family is not yet in such a desperate situation."

"Out of respect for your father and Ah Hong, I have already agreed to give you five hundred taels. You and your son can live modestly on that for the rest of your lives; stop bringing up your father."

Qiao Duo’er took out a silver note worth five hundred taels and stuffed it into Wang Yun’s hand.

Clenching the silver note, Wang Yun felt dissatisfied, but since the couple were united in their stance, making more of a scene wouldn’t get her any further benefits.

She would have to think of another plan.

After Bai Yan sent Wang Yun away, Tan Zhenghong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Wife, I hope I didn’t frighten you?"

"No, but you should still think about how to send her away," Qiao Duo’er said helplessly.

Given Wang Yun’s temperament, Qiao Duo was certain she wouldn’t leave easily if she didn’t achieve her goal.

After a moment of contemplation, Tan Zhenghong said, "If she continues like this, I will have no choice but to drive her out. She is my cousin, and I will definitely sort it out."

He hoped his uncle would understand his actions.

If Wang Yun had reasonable requests, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.

But to empty his coffers all at once and collude with tyranny—there was no way he could agree to that.

He was a man; he had principles and limits.

Aside from taking care of his wife, he would not compromise.

With Wang Yun in the house, the atmosphere had become much heavier, but everyone had gradually learned to adjust on their own: to ignore the existence of the Niu Family trio.

As long as they were not mistreated in terms of food and shelter, they had fulfilled the duty of a landlord.

Qiao Duo’er had no time to deal with that family; she would rather spend more time with her own two little ones.

After the confinement period, the two little ones began to stay awake longer and often made murmuring noises; if ignored, their small tempers would flare up quickly.
