Chapter 0068: Aggravation (2 / 2)

A Qiao mother’s face, her heart ached, and she hurriedly washed her hands and joined in, whispering, “Mother, I’ve already saved enough for twenty taels of bounty, so when this plague passes, you’ll make peace with Father.”

Zuniang shook her head, “As long as we don’t leave Jiangzhou City, he will always be able to find us, we won’t be able to escape.”

“But if it continues like this, I’m afraid that Dad will one day–“

Joe’s words failed him as he saw the man he was supposed to call Dad rushing toward him.

“The brat knows to be filial to your mother, but where is this stove for us men to do the work!” Hai Dafu yelled, “How much reward silver did you get today? Don’t present it to your father yet! I still have to go to the casino tonight to flip the pot!”

A Qiao lowered his head, slowly and leisurely pulled out a dime of silver from his pocket, and said in a jarring voice, “Today’s patients are all rather stingy, and only got a total of five coins of silver–“

“Useless thing!” Hai Dafu snatched it and cursed, “Cheap bastard, we’re all here now, don’t you obediently hand over the silver out, do you want to take the money to Hades!”

Hai Dafu weighed the silver horn in his hand, still suspected of insufficiency, angrily grunted and shouted to Zuniang: “What about you, don’t say half a dime again?”

“Lady Talker has strict rules against healers taking silver from patients-“

“I bah! They’re all bitchy women! Don’t pretend to be noble!”

Zo Niang was still busy chopping vegetables, but she was caught off guard by Hai Da Fu kicking her from behind, almost cutting her own hand.

Hiding the layers of hatred in her eyes, Zuniang got up without saying a word and continued to cook the vegetables.

She was nimble and soon had a table of food cooking.

“Dog meat, eggs with leeks, and burnt knives-“

Hai Dafu looked at the table full of good dishes, swallowed his saliva, and then suddenly slapped Zuniang as if he had come back to his senses, “Bitch woman! Did you save money behind my back!”

Despite saying this, Hai Da Fu couldn’t wait to move his chopsticks to eat and drink.

Zuniang covered her face, secretly sneering in her heart, but not all are good wine and good food to strengthen the liver?

She added a lot of ingredients to that wine, it must have made Hai Da Fu’s blood boil and burn his body with fire.

She replied in a condescending manner, “The pawn has misunderstood. This dog meat was gifted to me by a beautiful woman, imploring us to take more care of her husband.”

“Her husband can’t walk on his legs and has contracted the plague, so naturally she needs the healer to take care of her more.” Zo Niang sighed with seeming sympathy: “It’s a pity that she’s as beautiful as she is, but she’s with such a man who’s going to die soon, and I’m afraid that she’ll have a hard time in the future.”

Hai Dafu drank a sea bowl of wine, smelled it vaguely some intention, dizzy and asked: “The appearance of the city?”

A Qiao heard something familiar, remembered that generous gentleman yesterday, busy asked: “Mother said that the beautiful woman is called Xiang Capsicum, that the husband with the leg disease is living in the east district west corner of the Buddha Hall, the number is yellow three nine six?”

Rou Niang was stunned, not knowing how A Qiao learned of it, the expression on her face was almost impossible to maintain, but she heard her son continue to be curious: “That day, that man said that he only told me to look for the most beautiful one in the crowd, and I thought that it was because his lover’s eyes had a Western-style beauty in them. I didn’t realize that his lover was really that beautiful?”

Only then did Rou Niang put her heart down a little, as she softly explained to Hai Dafu, “Concubine doesn’t dare to speak out of turn, if Husband doesn’t believe me, why don’t you go and ask her?”
