Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 294 - 289: Daughter, Remember to Make the Room Complete

Chapter 294: Chapter 289: Daughter, Remember to Make the Room Complete

After a while, it got noisy outside, and Li Guifen’s loud voice was clearly heard, "Jiang Niu, you silly woman, your whole family isn’t good for anything. You dare speak nonsense but don’t have the guts to bring your man back from where he’s shacking up in someone else’s bed every day."

"Bah, and you have the nerve to talk about my daughter? Are you made of tree bark? Really, you have some nerve!"

"Just wait, wait until my son-in-law catches you and takes you to jail!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Lin Qiao quickly ran out of the yard. Seeing the situation clearly, "..."

Li Guifen was holding two butcher knives in her hand.

No wonder no one from that family dared to speak up.

Fierce, really fierce timing.

Lin Qiao’s mouth twitched a little, coughed, turned around, and went back into the house.

Zhou Family

Mrs. Zhou withdrew her gaze from the courtyard gate, glanced at Zhou Ping who was sitting firmly in a chair, and whispered, "Aren’t you going to intervene?"

"Intervene in what? These women are just annoyances with their mouths. In the past, when I tried to talk, nobody listened." Zhou Ping glanced at her sideways and continued, "You’ve seen how the big guy’s wife behaves. If she doesn’t scold them back, the village will be even more restless in the future."

"That’s true."

Mrs. Zhou thought of something else and asked, "Is Tingfan really going to report to the authorities?"

"Most likely, yes. That kid grew up protecting Lin Qiao." Zhou Ping yawned.

"And you just sit here?"

"What else can I do? My old arms and legs can’t block Tingfan."

"I guess you just don’t want to intervene. It’s a pity, really. If Baojiao and Tingfan could be together, that would be wonderful."

"Don’t even think about it. With our granddaughter’s temperament, it’s impossible. Not to mention supporting a family, she can’t even wash clothes properly. If it weren’t for Lin Qiao holding up Song’s second family all these years, who knows what kind of state they’d be in? Forget Tingfan joining the army, even eating would be a problem."

Zhou Ping paused and added, "Don’t be fooled by Qiao’er’s gentle demeanor. Look at how Tingfan’s aunt hasn’t taken advantage in the past few years?"

Mrs. Song has envied Song’s second family these years, but has never gained anything, and has even been scolded a few times by Song An.

"True, Lin Qiao seemed ordinary when she was a child, but who knew she’d become so capable after getting married." Mrs. Zhou didn’t mean Lin Qiao was bad before, but comparatively, she’s now much more sensible and capable.

"When there’s no food, everything gets forced out." Zhou Ping was feeling sleepy, stood up, and went inside to sleep.

"You old man sleep all day long. Not sure where all this sleepiness comes from. Go ahead and sleep, Tie Dan and his wife will be back soon."

Just after Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Ping hurried out, "I’ll go buy some meat when they return."

"Go ahead, buy plenty." Mrs. Zhou smiled and chided him.

...

Just before dusk, the sound of hooves approached and finally stopped at the gate of a certain courtyard. A man quickly got off the carriage and strode into the yard.

In the yard, Song Qin, Song Rong, and Song Qin were sorting vegetables.

Upon hearing the sound, they looked toward the gate, and Song Qin joyfully exclaimed, "Niu Niu, you’re back! Are you tired? Come and rest for a bit."

Song Tingfan shook his head, "Not tired, Granny, Grandpa, Granny Fan."

After scanning the area and not seeing Lin Qiao, he continued, "Where’s Qiao’er?"

"She went to pick scallions, said she’s making dumplings tonight."

Song Qin noticed his urgency, smiled, and then said, "Go help her carry them. I’m afraid Qiao’er can’t manage."

"Okay." Song Tingfan turned and went out of the yard, heading toward the farmland in the back. From a distance, he saw Lin Qiao bending over picking scallions, skillfully shaking off the dirt.

Once she had enough scallions, she straightened up, revealing her slender waist, but she wasn’t thin, she had all the right curves, especially the arc in front.

Lin Qiao turned her head and met the man’s deep, burning gaze, which was like the eyes of a wolf ready to devour.

Startled at the sight, she stumbled backward and ended up sitting down with a thud.

Thankfully the ground was soft and didn’t hurt.

Song Tingfan quickly came over and helped her up, asking urgently, "Are you okay?" As he spoke, he instinctively brushed the dirt from her behind.

Despite the fabric, Lin Qiao felt awkward, being an adult and still having her backside patted, "..."

She said awkwardly, "I’ll do it myself."

Realizing the awkwardness, Song Tingfan froze and quickly withdrew his hand.

Then he picked up the basket from the ground.

Without saying much, the two walked back home, one after the other.

After the dumpling meal, the family began tidying up, setting aside food for the Lin Family.

Then everyone returned to their rooms to pack; Song Tingfan had few belongings, so he helped Lin Qiao pack.

Lin Qiao was organizing the account books when she caught a glimpse of Song Tingfan holding a red undergarment. Her mouth twitched, but acted as if she hadn’t seen it.

But her earlobes were burning red.

After a while, Song Tingfan’s deep voice sounded, "Qiao’er, this undergarment is worn out, it’s unraveling at the seam. I’ll buy you a new one when we get there."

Lin Qiao instinctively looked up, seeing him holding another colored undergarment showing her the loose seam, she immediately choked on her saliva, "Cough cough cough."

Unable to remain composed, she went over and grabbed the undergarment, trying to keep calm, "I’ll fold the clothes, you handle the account books."

Seeing her quietly move the undergarment behind her, Song Tingfan’s eyes flashed a hint of amusement but he didn’t expose her, "Okay."

It was late by the time everything was neatly arranged, Lin Qiao couldn’t stop yawning, didn’t have the energy to ponder the earlier embarrassment, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

Song Tingfan gently shifted inward, cautiously pulling her into his embrace.

After waiting a while without any response from her, he leaned down for a kiss, and a kiss made him crave more.

Lightly nibbling on her softness.

Lin Qiao wasn’t a dead log, naturally, she woke up, but wished she hadn’t. She endured for a while, and just when the warmth on her lips moved away, a hand appeared on her waist.

She instinctively stiffened, just as she was about to speak, he said, "Qiao’er, if you don’t speak, I’ll take it as you agree."

His husky voice was rich with desire.

It was clear he knew she was awake.

Lin Qiao: "..."

She hadn’t taught him to mislead people...

She quickly said, "I need to use the bathroom." With that, she pushed him away, turned over, and got out of bed to head to the bathroom.

...

By the next afternoon, Lin Qiao and the others were ready to depart, with their own carriage plus another rented one, making two carriages in total.

Despite Li Guifen urging Lin Qiao to leave, her tears couldn’t be held back now, rolling down. Lin Qiao comfortingly patted her back, "It’s not far, once things are stable, I’ll have you and Dad come stay for a while."

"Alright, girl, you take care of yourself and don’t lose weight."

Li Guifen wiped her tears, then took a money bag from her sleeve and handed it to her, "Forget not wanting it before, today you must take it."

Hearing this, Lin Qiao didn’t refuse, reached out and accepted it, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Why are you thanking us, girl."

Li Guifen sniffled, lowered her voice and added, "Girl, remember to make sure things work with Tingfan."
