Qiao Xiaomai’s questioning made several people in the room instantly uncomfortable.
Unaware, Qiao Xiaomai continued, “I really am curious about this. You all seem like you could chew my dad down to bones, so why do you keep proclaiming your deep love for him?”
“What exactly have you done to show your love for my father?”
Her earnest questioning made a number of people in the room even more uncomfortable.
Tong Tiehu, however, chuckled and kindly answered her question, “It’s a long story.”
“Then cut it short, Grandpa Tong.” Qiao Xiaomai immediately turned to him, her peach blossom eyes glinting with anticipation.
“Back then, your third uncle had a crush on your mother, but she had eyes only for your father. Your third uncle planned to elope with her, but she refused, causing quite a scene. Eventually, your grandmother stepped in and betrothed your mother to your father.”
“That’s one of the specific instances of your grandmother’s supposed love for your father.”
“The second one is that she promised that when your fifth uncle becomes an official in the future, he’ll provide a major promotion for your father.”
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
The first issue… her eyes instinctively moved to Qiao Changshun.
Qiao Changshun leaned against the doorframe, his head hung low, not saying a word.
She couldn’t help but glance at Qiao Chang’an and Zhao Shufen as well.
Qiao Chang’an looked embarrassed, while Zhao Shufen was expressionless.contemporary romance
‘So these people had such melodramatic pasts,’ she thought to herself.
As for the second matter, it’s just laughable. Dreaming of getting promoted even before passing the Imperial Examination—anyone who believes Sun Family’s usual behavior would fall for it must be a fool.
“Uncle Tong, it’s all in the past, why bring it up again?” Qiao Chang’an couldn’t help but complain.
“Ashamed now, are you?” retorted Tong Tiehu coldly, “You all had no shame when you came here stirring up trouble.”
Qiao Chang’an blushed and took a step back, falling silent amidst the crowd from the Qiao family.
Tong Tiehu not even sparing Sun Junyan, he could only swallow his insult.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai turned to Sun Junyan, “Fifth uncle, if grandma really loved my dad, she should have treated him like she treats you, providing for his meals, clothing, and education like she was ready to give her heart and soul. Talking about how much grandma loved my dad, you really take us all for fools, huh?”
Sun Junyan took a deep breath, “Xiaomai, I think there must be some misunderstandings.”
“Still resisting even now?” Tong Tiehu scoffed, pointing behind him.
By then, Tong Sanlang had already harnessed the donkey cart, and several women had tied up Sun Family and Qiao Meipan, even gagging their mouths.
“I thought you had some sense,” Tong Tiehu shook his head as he talked, clearly disappointed, “You’re taking advantage of your educated status to oppress your second older brother, treating your own family like they’re beneath you. If someone like you were to become an official, who knows what you might do.”
At these words, Sun Junyan shuddered.
For him, who’s ambitious to become an official, these words were too heavy!
It was like a curse!
“Uncle Tong, I…”
“No need for anymore explanation, I don’t want to hear it.” Tong Tiehu ordered the women to throw Sun Family and Qiao Meipan onto the donkey cart, “Sanlang, let’s go to the County Town.”
With that, he went to the donkey cart, preparing to get in.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but applaud for Tong Tiehu, his efficiency at handling matters was impressive!
