FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM
Chapter 871 - 871: Let Her Sue Me_1Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Let Her Sue Me_1
“He knows martial arts and can hunt any creature in the mountains at will; if he really was filial, he should go hunting every day to earn silver! He’s simply unfilial!” Mrs. Zhang ranted, her voice louder than Qiao Xiaomai’s, as spittle flew from her mouth onto Qiao Xiaomai’s face.
Qiao Xiaomai frowned, about to let go of her when Yu Tong suddenly spoke up, “Xiaomai, let her go, let her sue me at the County Government Office.”
His handsome face was as cold as ice.
Colder than it had ever been before.
Just as Qiao Xiaomai had said, the Sun Family was certainly detestable, but they had nothing bad to say about Sun Junyan; the mother’s love that she lavished on Sun Junyan was undeniable to anyone.
But what about his own mother?
His own mother had conspired with the Zhang Family to trap him, pointing at his nose and calling him a dog.
Did they really think he had a heart of steel and wouldn’t feel hurt?
Wanting to eat and drink well was natural human desire and not worthy of blame, but why, while longing for a good life, did they still continually set traps for Qiao Xiaomai?
This could have been resolved amicably, but Mrs. Zhang had turned it into this mess.
And now she turns around and accuses him of being unfilial.
Such a mother, how could he possibly be filial to her?
Hunting every day?
The retired Emperor confiscated their property; could they not endure hardship for half a year?
Besides, life at home was not so hard; everyone had their own stash of silver, living better than most in the village!
Tired.
Mentally exhausted in a way he had never been before.
Qiao Xiaomai saw Yu Tong’s expression, pursed her lips, and let go of Mrs. Zhang, “Go ahead and sue then, sue Yu Tong for being unfilial. He will be right here waiting today, waiting for the yamen servants to come and summon him.”
Mrs. Zhang, now free, quickly stood up straight.
She glared at Yu Tong.
Although Yu Tong’s cold demeanor gave her a chill in her heart, the thought of the life Yu Tong was living now immediately reignited the fury within her.
She was Yu Tong’s birth mother; why should Yu Tong live well in the manor, enjoying good food and fine days with that wretched Qiao Xiaomai, while she stayed at home tending to pregnant women, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables?
There’s no such reason in this world!
She had given birth to Yu Tong and nurtured him well for seventeen years; Yu Tong should share his food with her!
With this thought, she straightened her clothes slightly and snorted heavily, “Let her sue! I’ll have the county magistrate side with me!”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhang Xiaoman, who was staring blankly to the side, and loudly said, “Brother, get the oxcart out, we’re going to the County Government Office!”
Zhang Xiaoman was snapped out of his daze by her words; he opened his eyes wide, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and hurried over to help her towards the door.
When Mrs. Zhang had come to find him earlier, she only mentioned that Qiao Xiaomai and Yu Tong were unfilial, so she planned to trap them both at the banquet.
Upon hearing her story then, he too felt righteous indignation and agreed without a second thought.
But having listened just now to Qiao Xiaomai, who knew there could be so much hidden beneath the surface!
Deceptive marriages, framing Qiao Xiaomai for improper relations with other men, and even slandering Qiao Xiaomai’s cousin — any one of these accusations was enough for Qiao Xiaomai to be furious!
Qiao Xiaomai had every right to be unfilial.
As for Yu Tong, yes, he sounded unfilial, but Yu Tong was a noted scholar now; would suing him at the government office affect his future prospects?
True, Zhang Family hadn’t benefited from Yu Tong passing the examinations, but having a noted scholar as a relative meant most people didn’t dare to provoke the Zhang Family; there might not have been direct benefits, but the indirect advantages were real.
Yu Tong’s future couldn’t be ruined!
