Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 949: Chapter 949: No Reason_1 Chapter 949: Chapter 949: No Reason_1 “Tong Erlang, get up.” Yang Wenxiao spoke; the ground was covered with snow, and continuous kneeling could lead to problems.

However, his tone shifted as he continued, “Although I am the retired emperor, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. I don’t know the details of this matter, so it’s not appropriate for me to intervene.”

Tong Erlang stood up, and upon hearing this, he raised his hand to wipe away tears, “Then may I explain the situation in detail to you?”

“Explain what?” Yang Wenxiao asked with interest.

“About Xiaomai and what happened with my family.”

Yang Wenxiao clasped his hands behind his back and nodded, “Alright, go ahead, but focus on the main points.”

Focus on the main points.

Tong Erlang mulled over these words before he began.

He started with how his mother and his wife had always disliked Qiao Xiaomai and went on to detail a few incidents that happened after Qiao Xiaomai married Tong Sanlang.

Afterwards, he added, “I didn’t want to come, but I…”

He glanced at Tong Sanlang and, seeing his solemn expression, closed his mouth.

Yang Wenxiao listened with great interest; domestic squabbles over a couple of taels silver and some trifling matters that escalated to this point were different when read about and when narrated in person.

So full of life, indeed.

And so representative, too.

Before any issues arose, the family seemed harmonious, but once troubles started, their true natures became apparent.

Human nature—that’s what this was.

However, he already knew about the mutual attraction between Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang. The so-called range of ‘Tong Sanlang will not marry anyone but Qiao Xiaomai, and Qiao Xiaomai will not marry anyone but him’ was also a strategy the two had employed.

Given the shamelessness of the Tong family members, such a strategy was entirely acceptable.

After inwardly commenting, he asked, “Tong Erlang, tell me, is Qiao Xiaomai filial or not?”

Tong Erlang “…”

Tong Erlang was dumbfounded.

He had come to complain on behalf of Tong Xingda, but now Yang Wenxiao was throwing the question back at him.

In his view, Qiao Xiaomai was naturally unfilial.

But from Yang Wenxiao’s demeanor, it was clear he sided with Qiao Xiaomai, right…?

If Yang Wenxiao truly sided with his father, he would be angry by now.

Realizing this, Tong Erlang swallowed hard and said, “Sanlang, Sanlang used to be the most filial, but now, now that he and Xiaomai stand together, they don’t listen to my father anymore. Sanlang is smart; what he’s doing, doing it like this… perhaps is right…”

As he said this, he stealthily glanced at Tong Sanlang.

Hmm… He was planning on relying on Tong Sanlang as a meal ticket for life. If he now agreed with Tong Sanlang’s stance, maybe Tong Sanlang wouldn’t hold past grievances against him…

Tong Erlang spoke hesitantly, and moreover, he was using Tong Sanlang as a benchmark. Yang Wenxiao found this new, “I am asking you, why are you bringing up your brother?”

Upon hearing this, Tong Erlang’s face crumpled, “I, I don’t know…”

“You don’t know if she’s filial or not?” Yang Wenxiao raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t know. I just run errands for my father. My mother indeed wronged Xiaomai, but my father, he…” Tong Erlang glanced at Tong Sanlang again and fell silent.

Yang Wenxiao couldn’t help but click his tongue in commiseration, “Clueless.”

With the capabilities of the Tong family members, they could succeed in a revolt only if the sun rose from the west.

They can’t even discern between filial piety and disrespect.

Yang Wenxiao turned to face Tong Sanlang, “Tong Sanlang, tell me, is there any merit to your father’s accusations?”

“None whatsoever,” Tong Sanlang replied without a second thought.
