Leaning close to Tao Zhu's already red ears, he asked: "Who offended our Brother Zhu today? Tell me and I will vent your anger."
Tao Zhu: "..."
He originally had his back to Li Qiao and his body was completely huddled in Li Qiao's arms. When he heard Li Qiao's words, he slowly turned over and lay face to face with Li Qiao.
There was a layer of water in his eyes, and his cheeks were red, which was caused by Li Qiao rubbing them.
There was still a smile in the corners of his eyes and brows that had not completely dissipated.
He likes Li Qiao to rub him.
Looking at the worry on Li Qiao's face, he pursed his lower lip, and then said: "Sure enough, you saw it. In fact, it's nothing serious, just some rumors."
Today he worked as usual in the duck workshop. The duck workshop was close to the river, and the people responsible for butchering the ducks all processed the ducks by the river.
He is responsible for seasoning duck products every day and rarely goes to the river.
But today he suddenly wanted to eat fish, and wanted to go to the river to have a look. He didn't want to delay Li Qiao's study, he wanted to try to catch it himself.
Then he heard the workers' words by the river.
"I heard Ju's sister-in-law saying from a distance, 'Brother Zhu can't have children.' I was stunned for a moment, and then I became very angry. I walked over and asked Ju's sister-in-law to explain clearly."
"Sister Ju and the others were shocked, but they didn't dare to hide it from me, so they told me the cause and effect."
"Sister Ju and her husband went to the county town yesterday. While eating noodles at a stall, they heard someone talking about me not being able to give birth to a son."
"Those two people are from out of town. They said that I couldn't give birth to a son. They said that I looked like a man. They also said that even if you are not tired of me now, you will definitely be tired of me in the future."
"Sister-in-law Ju and her men couldn't bear to listen and started quarreling with them."
"Those two foreigners only used the fact that I didn't have a child to criticize Sister-in-law Ju and her man. They also said that they were talking about this matter because all the locals in Pingcheng were talking about it. So Sister-in-law Ju Her man didn’t win the argument.”
"Sister-in-law Ju was very angry, but also worried. She couldn't help but want to discuss it with other workers today, but I overheard it."
Speaking of this, Tao Zhu pursed his lower lip again.
He wasn't actually worried about the child. He only sighed when he saw Baiyou being tormented by Li Dazhong and his two children.
Li Qiao gave him so much sense of security that he really wasn't worried at all.
But who knew, everyone was paying attention to his belly...
Everyone didn't dare to discuss it in front of him and Li Qiao, so he and Li Qiao never knew about it.
If he hadn't accidentally heard Sister Ju's words today, he would have been kept in the dark.
The words of the two outsiders did not have much impact on his mood.
However, Jusao and her man lost the argument in order to defend him, which made him very unhappy.
Also, it turns out that Pingcheng is paying attention to his belly now...
Suddenly a little suffocated.
"So that's it."
Li Qiao also frowned. He took Tao Zhu's hand and asked Tao Zhu to stand up: "Let's go find Sister Ju to see if we can find those two outsiders. You haven't eaten from their family. Why are you so angry?" If you don’t have children, do you care about their business?”
"If you dare to curse us, let's go find them out!"
"...Huh?" Tao Zhu was stunned, his eyes widened, looking at him stupidly.
"Aren't you unhappy because Sister Ju and her man didn't win the argument? Let's have another argument."
"..."
Tao Zhu was still a little dumbfounded.
Can it still be like this?
"Let's go to the county seat now."
As he spoke, Li Qiao bent down, hugged Tao Zhu's waist and picked him up: "If we arrive late, those two outsiders might leave."
"You don't study anymore?"
"It's only half a day or so, let's go quickly."
Tao Zhu: "..."
His heart was beating a little fast.
He felt that Li Qiao was making a fuss, but seeing that Li Qiao was already putting on his shoes, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
happy!
Just go crazy once, just this once.
The couple first went to the duck shop to find Sister-in-law Ju. Sister-in-law Ju was from Dahe Village. As soon as she heard that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu wanted to ask her man about yesterday's dispute, they quickly took Li Qiao and Tao Zhu home.
When they arrived at Dahe Village, they asked about the location of the dispute yesterday and the appearance of the two outsiders. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu drove an ox cart to the county seat.
When we arrived at the county town, we first found the noodle stall.
The stall owners were a middle-aged couple. When they saw Li Qiao and Tao Zhu coming, they were startled. Without waiting for Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to ask, they quickly explained that the couple had also helped Sister Ju to fight with her man yesterday. , but the two outsiders were furious at the fact that Tao Zhu had indeed not given birth to a child. They couldn't find the right words to refute, and in the end they didn't win the argument.
As for the two outsiders, they followed them yesterday, thinking that if this bad news came to Li Qiao's ears, they would have an explanation.
But who knew that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu came in person.
The two foreigners lived at the Shunfu Inn in the north of the city. When the couple followed them there last night, they didn't leave, but I don't know if they left at this time.
So, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu got on the ox cart and headed to Shunfu Inn.
Many people watching the excitement followed.
When they arrived at Shunfu Inn, when the innkeeper saw Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, he immediately explained that the two outsiders wanted to leave today, but he stopped them. At this time, the two outsiders were there. In the room on the second floor.
The quarrel between the two foreigners at the noodle stall yesterday attracted many people to watch. Not only the noodle stall owner followed, but also some onlookers.
So the innkeeper knew what the two strangers said in public.
If it was a general bad word, then he might rush to Li Qiao to take credit.
But Tao Zhu couldn't give birth to a child, so how could he dare to go to Li Qiao to tell him? Although Li Qiao didn't show concern on the surface, what if he cared about it in his heart?
Then he stabbed Li Qiao in the heart.
However, he was afraid that Li Qiao would be angry if the dispute reached his ears, so he did not let the two outsiders go.
No matter what he said, he would stop him first. If Li Qiao didn't respond after a few days, it wouldn't be too late for him to let him go.
"Those two people came here for the vermicelli. I told them that there was a way to get the vermicelli and asked them to wait. That's why they didn't leave."
The innkeeper explained as he led Li Qiao and Tao Zhu upstairs.
Li Qiao smiled when he heard this: "Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll keep this in mind."
The innkeeper also laughed and said quickly: "You have done so many things for Pingcheng. It is really hateful that those two outsiders came to our Pingcheng to make money from your vermicelli but pointed fingers at you and your husband. "
"That's the reason. He wants to rely on me for food, and he also curses me and Brother Zhu to break up sooner or later. This matter will not end today."
Li Qiao snorted and his face turned cold.
Tao Zhu followed him and saw his handsome face covered with frost, and his heart was beating hard.
The way this man vents his anger is so charming...
Arriving on the second floor, the innkeeper went to knock on the door of the two foreigners.
Li Qiao caught a glimpse of a solid wood flower stand at the corner for placing flower pots. He walked over and moved the flower pots to the ground, then picked up the one-meter-high flower stand in his hands.
Tao Zhu: "..."
He thought Li Qiao was here to quarrel, but turned out to be here to beat someone?
He tightened his lips to prevent the corners of his mouth from turning up.
He remembered the last time Li Qiao deposed Song Shitou.
How could he be afraid of Li Qiao? At that time, he only thought that Li Qiao was a very bloody man. Now that Li Qiao wanted to vent his anger on him, he loved her to death.
On the other side, the innkeeper has opened the door of the two foreigners. It is evening, and the two foreigners are sitting at the table eating peanuts and drinking wine.
The innkeeper lost his previous pleasant expression and said to them with a stern face: "Stop drinking, Li Qiao is here."
"..."
The two outsiders were stunned.
Didn't the shopkeeper say that he could get them vermicelli so that they could wait in peace? Why did Li Qiao come here? !
"You two were the ones who cursed Brother Zhu and me on the street yesterday to break up? And you kept saying that Brother Zhu couldn't give birth to a son?"
Li Qiao carried the flower stand into the room, took a casual glance to confirm his appearance, and then asked with a cold face.
The two foreigners looked to be in their forties, and they were both quite wealthy. Their faces were a little red because they were drinking.
At this time, seeing Li Qiao holding a guy in his hand, the one with the beard stammered: "You, you are Li Li Qiao? What do you want to do?!"
"Did you two say in public yesterday that I would divorce Brother Zhu? Did you say that Brother Zhu couldn't have a son?"
Li Qiao continued to ask, but he obviously lost his patience. There was obvious impatience on his face, and he also raised the flower stand in his hand.
Now, the two outsiders were even more scared.
This this……
The one without a beard explained with a sad face: "We brothers also heard what people in Pingcheng said, so we mentioned it."
"We don't mean any harm!"
Of course, this is false.
They came to Pingcheng only after the New Year. They arrived late and they didn't buy vermicelli, so their trip was in vain.
Their trip was in vain, and they felt a little angry and resentful of Li Qiao, so after overhearing locals in Pingcheng talking about Tao Zhu's inability to have a son, they started talking too.
They were telling the truth. I heard that Tao Zhu looked like a man. How could Li Qiao always like men? Everyone was a man. They understood men's thoughts very well.
Now Li Qiao is thinking about Tao Zhu's kindness to him, so he treats Tao Zhu wholeheartedly. But when Li Qiao really flies away in the future, he will definitely marry another beauty.
But they didn't dare to say anything at this time. They were about to explain again, but who knew that Li Qiao walked towards them with a flower stand and asked at the same time: "Brother Zhu, it's your turn to eat your rice." Do you want to force him to do anything?"
Without waiting for the two people to answer, Li Qiao picked up the flower stand and threw it at them.
