My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 18 - I Can Support You_1

Qiao Duo’er blinked her eyes, trying to find a hint of pretense or insincerity on Tan Zhenghong’s face.

These kinds of words sounded like a brush-off!

But there was none!

Not a trace of deceit!

Could it be that this man truly didn’t care about her looks?

At that moment, Tan Zhenghong was sincere; he was purely considering Qiao Duo’er’s well-being.

Qiao Duo’er was a bit surprised.

So there really were such men in this world!

“Delay my ass, where could I go without any money?

You need to heal up first.

Let’s at least wait until your leg is better before discussing this, and besides, you still owe me my medical fee.”

Qiao Duo’er had killed quite a few people in her previous life, but those had been deserving of death; actually, her heart was still kind.

Now that the family had divided their property, what would Tan Zhenghong do if she just left?

After all, she couldn’t rely on her cold-hearted parents; the only good person in the family, someone from Hu’s Clan, was a pushover, as malleable as dough.

Tan Zhenghong pursed his lips, suddenly realizing something in his heart.

If Qiao Duo’er said she was not from here, she really had nowhere to go.

If she went back to her parents’ house, they would surely sell her off again.

And they would sell her to whomever offered more Silver, without considering the man’s character or his family’s background at all.

Looking at it this way, it still seemed better to stay with him.

Tan Zhenghong earnestly said, “If you’re willing to stay with me, I’ll work hard to make sure you have a good life.”

Even if his leg was useless, he still had his hands and could still create a world for his wife!

Qiao Duo’er waved her hand nonchalantly and said, “With me here, I’ll definitely be able to support you.

Don’t worry about that for now.”

Her response left Tan Zhenghong feeling a bit awkward and somewhat disappointed.

The awkwardness was because a woman had claimed she could support him, while the disappointment stemmed from Qiao Duo’er’s refusal to stay with him.

Qiao Duo’er stretched lazily, getting a whiff of the sweat smell on her body, and couldn’t help but frown.

Nowadays, one bathed using wooden tubs.

There was a tub in Tan Zhenghong’s room, but with nothing to provide privacy, was she meant to bathe in a strange man’s room?

No, she couldn’t stand it; she had to take a bath!

Hmm…

Tan Zhenghong was lame, he probably wouldn’t do anything to her.

Qiao Duo’er took another look at Tan Zhenghong and thought the man seemed decent; a sense of restraint radiated from his stern expression, which made her feel even more reassured.

“I’ll go boil some water,” said Qiao Duo’er, informing him before she left.

Now that the Tan Family had split their household, only the Main Room had a kitchen, so she still had to go there to boil water.

As soon as she reached the entrance to the Main Room, she saw Wang Clan’s sharp-faced matriarch.

“You little slut, didn’t you want to sever ties?

What are you doing in the Main Room?” Wang Clan complained bitterly; she was someone who couldn’t stand to be slighted.

How could she let Qiao Duo’er off easily after being publicly humiliated by her just now?

Qiao Duo’er glanced at Wang Clan and said slowly, “Then I’ll go borrow a pot from someone else to boil some water.”

With that, Qiao Duo’er turned around and walked away.
