Chapter 10 Take Good Care of Your Mother_1

Upon looking at Tan Zhenghong, he was still in too much pain to recover his strength, but when Qiao Duo'er had packed away everything, a gleam finally appeared in Tan Zhenghong's eyes.

Seeing his miserable state, Qiao Duo'er blinked her eyes and said, "Doesn't it feel wonderfully painful?"

"An unforgettable experience."

Tan Zhenghong said, pausing with every word.

However, if it could help him recover, the pain was worth it.

Qiao Duo'er's lips couldn't help but curve upward; to move a bone and not expect pain would be a fool's hope.

After being busy the entire afternoon, Qiao Duo'er was exhausted and lay on the bed, unwilling to move again.

Alas, her body would probably take years to recover to the state it was in her previous life.

Tan Zhenghong laboriously shifted to the side to give Qiao Duo'er more space.

If she was willing to lie next to him, she probably didn't dislike him.

This realization filled Tan Zhenghong's heart with a trace of joy, and his previously dim and hopeless life instantly found hope.

But someone had to oppose Qiao Duo'er; as soon as she lay down, someone came calling, and upon hearing that person's voice, Qiao Duo'er's body involuntarily trembled.

She knew this was a remnant emotion from the original body's owner.

"The Fourth Boss's House, too lazy to attract maggots, not cooking at this hour, shouldn't you drown yourself! Cursed thing!"

Wang Clan yelled at the doorstep; she was none other than Tan Zhenghong's biological mother and the current matriarch of the Tan Family, Wang Clan.

This Wang Clan was a formidable figure known to the entire village.

Qiao Duo'er glanced lazily at Tan Zhenghong, "Get your mother out of here; she's annoying!"

Though her gaze was indolent, it carried a sharp murderous intent.

The original owner of the body had committed suicide, and it wasn't unrelated to those who bullied her. Since she now inhabited this body, of course, she would seek revenge for her.

Tan Zhenghong responded, "Mother, Silly Sister has a fever from falling into the water, let her rest well."

"I've been plagued with misfortune for eight lifetimes, such a useless creature, and even spent One or Two Silver to bring her home, better to raise a dog..."

Wang Clan cursed loudly until her voice faded away in the distance.

"Keep an eye on your mother next time, don't let her go around biting people. If there's a next time, I'll kill her!" Qiao Duo'er said with furrowed brows.

Tan Zhenghong nodded hurriedly; he knew Qiao Duo'er was not just talking. He didn't know about Qiao Duo'er's background now, but her presence was commanding; she was undoubtedly not a child from a simple peasant family.

And his mother... was definitely no match for her.

Qiao Duo'er closed her eyes, her facial expression becoming somewhat stiff.

Suddenly, Tan Zhenghong felt as though Qiao Duo'er was distant from him; they had been able to talk a little just a moment ago, but now, she couldn't be bothered with him.

Sigh... his mother...

As night gradually fell, Tan Zhenghong's sister-in-law from the Hu Clan brought over two buns.

Hu's Clan was the only person in this household who knew how to be grateful and repay kindness.

Nevertheless, her life was not easy either. Having entered the family twelve years ago, she had only birthed daughters so far, and nobody in the Tan Family looked kindly upon her.

"Eat up quickly, I've secretly saved an extra bun for you," Hu's Clan whispered.

Qiao Duo'er immediately realized that without Hu's Clan, her and Tan Zhenghong's dinner would have consisted of only one bun.

"Sister-in-law, here, take these."

Qiao Duo'er grabbed a few wild berries and stuffed them into Hu's Clan's hand; she remembered kindness in her heart, and for those who were not kind, she was not one to be trifled with!

Hu's Clan hurriedly tried to refuse, but Qiao Duo'er, smiling, said, "I picked them from the mountain; they're not treasures. Take them back for the children to enjoy."

Only when it came to Hu's Clan's daughters did she accept the berries.

After sending away Hu's Clan, Qiao Duo'er couldn't help but grumble, "Your mother's heart must be black."
