"...I am too forceful in controlling you, and my tone and attitude are not soft enough."
Tao Zhu whispered.
"This is not control. We are getting married soon. As a member of this family, you have the right to express your true thoughts."
Li Qiao heard this low voice and knew that the problem was serious.
He straightened his expression and explained seriously: "Brother Zhu, do you know what I like about you very much?"
"I like that even though you have suffered injustice and grievance for many years, you have not become submissive, numb, timid, and resigned. Your unyielding soul has always been there, and you have always had your own ideas."
"This is very valuable, you must keep it. If I want my husband to obey me in everything, then I might as well go find Ren Yazi and buy a husband."
Tao Zhu: "..."
What he did tonight was treasonous, but in this man's eyes, it turned out to be an advantage, and he described it so solemnly.
An unyielding soul?
This man didn't feel ashamed when he said it, but he felt like he was smoking when he heard it.
Li Qiao's words continued: "The reason why I must have you is that you are good-looking. On the other hand, you have a temperament that suits me. I like the way you say whatever you want."
Tao Zhu: "..."
His cheeks grew warm.
And complimented him on how good-looking he was!
Bubbles called joy bubbled up in his heart and grew larger to wrap around him.
Everything tonight was worth it.

My dears, please give me some flowers and collect them~
Chapter 20 When business comes, you can stop having children first
When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu arrived at the county seat, the city gate had not yet opened.
The two people squinted for a while on the bullock cart.
After the city gate opened, the two people immediately entered the city.
Although they haven't slept all night, the marriage has been decided and the two of them are at their most excited. Even if their eyes are red and bloodshot, they are in good spirits.
When they arrived at the hospital, the old doctor first woke up Old Man Tao, examined and treated him carefully, and then came to a conclusion:
Old Man Tao didn't just have a simple fracture. He had a broken bone in his thigh. It would be difficult for Old Man Tao to recover at his age.
Therefore, Old Man Tao will probably be unable to do without crutches in the future.
As soon as this conclusion came out, Old Man Tao couldn't accept it.
At this age, he is going to become a lame?
He immediately pointed at Tao Zhu and cursed. If he hadn't been in a hurry to hit this bitch with his elbow turned outward, he wouldn't have fallen down!
Tao Zhu was emotionally stable and turned a deaf ear to Old Man Tao's dirty words.
But Li Qiao couldn't listen any more. While trying to persuade Old Man Tao to calm down, he moved the water drops, causing Old Man Tao to faint from pain again.
Old Man Tao fainted, and the old doctor quickly prescribed medicine. Soon, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left the hospital with Old Man Tao.
"This small package of ten medicines actually costs more than 1,300 yuan."
Tao Zhu looked at the medicine in his hand and frowned.
If he had known that his father's leg injury was a bottomless pit, he would never have treated his leg as a gift. He was cheating Li Qiao...
“Money is earned, and you can earn it if you can spend it.”
Li Qiao didn't care.
He just wanted to spend money to keep Old Man Tao quiet. Old Man Tao's leg was broken, and he would no longer be able to run around Tao Zhu.
"Here, this is the rest of my money. You can keep it. You are in charge of this family."
Li Qiao handed over his money bag.
Since crossing over, he has sold fish for nine days in total. Not counting the time he sold fish in the village on the first day, he has gone to the county town to sell fish eight times in total.
Selling fish in the county seat can earn more than 1,900 copper coins every day for the first seven days.
On the eighth day, he only sold a hundred catties of fish, and also sold Shaqima, and the income was more than 1,900 copper coins.
After deducting seven handfuls of wheat sickles, his daily food and drink, daily necessities, raw materials for Shaqima, etc., as well as the money for old man Tao's medicine just now, he still has four taels of silver left in his hand.
"Give it to me?" Tao Zhu was surprised, staring at the money bag with wide eyes.
"I spend money lavishly without any control. In order to pay off my gambling debt as soon as possible, you will be in charge from now on and our money will be in your hands."
Li Qiao explained with a smile.
Tao Zhu: "..."
You are in charge, we, these words are so pleasant to our ears.
But he did not take the money bag: "I have to live at home these days. I never put valuables in my room to avoid being dug out by my eldest brother and the others."
"Then I'll leave it to you when we get married. Now let's go buy maltose and flour." Li Qiao put the money bag away.
"There is no need to buy flour. When we return to the village, we can grind wheat into flour. This will save some money."
Wheat costs five cents per catty, while ground flour costs nine cents per catty.
It would be a huge loss to buy flour directly.
However, considering the time it takes to grind flour, Tao Zhu added: "We can also buy flour from the villagers, who sell it cheaper than in the county."
"Okay." Li Qiao couldn't help but smile: "You should indeed be in charge of this family, Xian Hui."
When Tao Zhu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Although he wanted to say that this was the thinking of everyone in the village and was not worthy of praise, in the end he still held back his words.
Growing up, the only praises he heard were for his diligence and filial piety. Now he liked to hear this man praise him for other merits.
So, the two of them went to buy some maltose and steamed buns for breakfast, and then prepared to return to the village.
When he reached the city gate, someone suddenly stopped Li Qiao: "Brother Li!"
Li Qiao followed the voice and looked over. It turned out to be the waiter who usually followed shopkeeper Wang. Shopkeeper Wang called him Xiao Wu.
Li Qiao jumped off the bullock cart, and when Xiao Wu ran up to him, he smiled and said hello: "Xiao Wu, what a coincidence, we met here."
"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you at the city gate."
Before Li Qiao could ask, Xiao Wu explained with a smile: "My shopkeeper wanted to buy more of the Feng Gao you sold yesterday, but who knew you didn't set up a stall today. I asked the people around to find out more , then I knew you had entered the county town, so the shopkeeper sent me to guard here."
"Can you continue selling Feng Gao tomorrow?"
"That's it...if there are no accidents, I will continue to set up a stall tomorrow." Li Qiao nodded with a smile.
"That's great! My shopkeeper wants to buy fifty catties of cakes. How can you do that tomorrow morning?"
"If you try your best, it should be possible, but I can't guarantee it. Because I'm engaged and will get married in five days. This is my husband."
Li Qiao smiled and pointed at Tao Zhu: "We have to work on getting married."
"Oh, congratulations, what a great event!"
When Xiao Wu heard this, he immediately congratulated her sincerely, with a big smile, as if he didn't notice Tao Zhu's face and height, which were similar to those of a man.
Tao Zhu, who was a little uncomfortable at first, immediately calmed down, but his face felt a little hot.
He didn't speak, just smiled at Xiao Wu, and then looked at Li Qiao, with a shy look that focused on Li Qiao.
"Brother Zhu is a little shy."
Li Qiao was amused by Tao Zhu's rare shyness and was in a good mood. He said to Xiao Wu, "I'll try my best to make Feng Gao. Let's meet at the same place tomorrow."
"Okay, I wish you both a long life and a son soon!"
Xiao Wu smiled and sent his blessings.
Li Qiao felt better after hearing this, but Tao Zhu's heart skipped a beat.
After Xiao Wu left, the two of them left the county town. Tao Zhu pursed his lips and glanced at Li Qiao several times before he said slowly: "Li Qiao, the mole on my forehead is very light."
The brighter the red mole on your forehead, the better your fertility.
But the mole on his forehead has always been very light. In addition, since he works in the sun all year round, his skin is not as fair as other boys, so the mole on his forehead appears to be even lighter.
"Hey, really?"
When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the forehead of the person next to him.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He was stiff all over.
Li Qiao had really never paid attention to Tao Zhu's mole between his eyebrows before. He had just traveled through time for a few days, and even though he accepted the setting of a young man in this world, from a mental point of view, he still regarded him as a man.
In addition, he is too busy making money to pay attention to details.
Therefore, he has not studied the magical thing called naevus between eyebrows.
When Tao Zhu mentioned it, he naturally opened his eyes to observe.
There was indeed a faint red mole between Tao Zhu's eyebrows, which was not very conspicuous. In addition, his moist and sparkling eyes were so eye-catching, so Li Qiao had completely ignored the mole before.
Is it because of this little mole that I can get pregnant and have a baby?
"Life is really a great miracle." Li Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
Tao Zhu, who was thinking about all kinds of things and was filled with anxiety, said: "?"
