My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1145 - 1151: Courtesy Calls for Reciprocity

Although it wasn’t a definitive answer, it was enough to excite Huo Minglan.

"I think we’re quite similar, and should be able to get along well, by the way, will you join me in dealing with that despicable couple?" freёweɓnovel.com

Her elder sister had already passed away, and that dowry should rightfully be inherited by the children her sister had given birth to.

However, Niu Fuquan favored Wang Yun and wanted to give all the dowry to Niu Zijun, such a shameless person deserved to be condemned by everyone, didn’t he?

"I only want to protect what’s mine," Qiao Duo’er said slowly.

"If that’s your attitude, then I’m relieved. Also, the Niu Family established their business with my elder sister’s dowry, and I want to take it back too. These days I’ve been tampering with the Niu Family’s business, forcing them to sell their shops. I’ll take the opportunity to buy them. Now another shop is in urgent need, If Niu Fuquan comes to you for help, will you lend a hand?"

Huo Minglan looked intently at Qiao Duo’er, as this was what she was most worried about.

If the Tan Family was willing to help, it would put her in a difficult position.

After all, the resources she could mobilize were limited, and it was hard to compete with the Tan Family.

"The person who was kind to Ah Hong was Wang Yun’s father; repaying the debt has nothing to do with Niu Fuquan."

Qiao Duo’er solemnly made a promise.

This Huo Minglan, still marrying a scoundrel for the sake of her family, she didn’t approve, yet she couldn’t help but admire.

Moreover, it was the Niu Family’s private matter, what right did she and Ah Hong have to interfere?

"I appreciate it then," Huo Minglan said.

Huo Minglan stood up and gave Duo’er a deep bow.

Her sister had bestowed enormous kindness upon her, and she couldn’t allow her sister’s children to be bullied.

Qiao Duo’er sidestepped to avoid the bow, feeling she wasn’t helping Huo Minglan; she was just making sure her own things didn’t fall into the wrong hands.

Huo Minglan said with a giggly voice, "This tea is very good; I wonder if I could take a pot back home. My nieces and nephews would definitely love it."

"Wait a moment. I’ll have someone fetch it for you," Qiao Duo’er responded without hesitation.

Before long, Huo Minglan left, satisfied, carrying the milk tea home.

She planned to bring some of her homemade preserves later; now that they were somewhat friends, it was only proper to exchange gifts.

If there’s only taking from one side, no matter the relationship, it won’t last.

"Mom, who was that beautiful auntie just now?"

Tangyuan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of green.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Duo’er said, "She’s a friend of mine. I can introduce her to you the next time she comes."

As for matters like the first wife and the second wife, she didn’t discuss them with Tangyuan, because she would definitely find a man who was wholeheartedly devoted, and there was simply no need to know these things.

Tangyuan had only one thought: Another chance to see a beautiful woman!

By evening, Tan Zhenghong had returned.

"Wife, the shop will be topped off in three days. If you have any requirements for the decoration, feel free to tell me," Tan Zhenghong said cheerfully.

Once the shop was up and running, the promise he had made to Duo’er would finally be truly fulfilled.

"I’ve already sketched out a draft. We can discuss it tonight to see if anything needs to be changed."

"Wife, you’re amazing!"

Tan Zhenghong stole a kiss on Duo’er’s cheek.

After exchanging a few more intimate words, Tan Zhenghong went off to play with the three children.

Qiao Duo’er stood in place, and although Tan Zhenghong acted as usual, she still felt that he was somewhat downcast; however, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

In any case, something was off.

"Mom, come and help us identify this herb!" Tangyuan called out.

It was strange for Tangyuan to see her mother not joining them voluntarily today, as usual, it was both parents together.
