Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Beat Me to Death
“Grandma, do you have any good suggestions?” asked Qiao Xiaomai.
“Of course! Give her a good slap in the face! The next time she dares to come begging for food, throw a piece of shit at her!”
Qiao Xiaomai was speechless…
Imagining that scene, she suddenly lost her appetite.
“As long as that Tong Sanlang or whoever really wants to marry you, he’ll definitely come again! The more times he comes, the more demands you can make.”
Hua Xiaofeng tapped her chopsticks on the table and admonished Qiao Xiaomai, “In any case, you can’t agree to marry too easily. You must hold the initiative in your own hands.”
“Once they realize that you’re not easy to marry or bully, they’ll naturally tuck their tails between their legs and try to please you.”
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai nodded.
Considering how greedy the Zhang Family was, they would certainly covet her money.
When that time came, if she held her head high and did not easily agree, she would surely force the Zhang Family to humble themselves and curry favor with her.
Sigh…
If only Tong Sanlang could be like Qiao Qinghe and become her son-in-law instead.
Living with the Tong Family, she really wasn’t used to it!
Speaking of the Zhang Family and Zhu Hongyun…
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, driving an oxcart, finally arrived in the fields after fifteen minutes.
Zhu Hongyun jumped off the cart before it even stopped, waving at the people still working in the fields, “Grandpa, grandma, dad, mealtime!”
In the hot midday sun, thirsty and tired, the work efficiency of the Tong Family had decreased. In half an hour, only a few sweet potato shoots had been planted.
Hearing the call for mealtime revitalized them, as they quickly got up and ran towards the oxcart.
There was not a single tree near these two acres of land, so the group could only stand in the scorching sun to eat.
Tong Tiehu glanced at the two prominent large food boxes, his face immediately darkening, “Where did this come from?”
While pouring water out of a pot for everyone to wash their hands, Zhang Family’s matriarch chuckled, “This is made by Qiao Xiaomai.”
“You actually went to her house to beg for food?” Tong Tiehu’s face immediately turned pale.
Qiao Xiaomai hadn’t said she would make lunch for them today, so there was only one possibility: the Zhang Family’s matriarch had taken the initiative to seek out Qiao Xiaomai.
Zhang Family’s matriarch was confident in her actions, “There’s no more white flour at home. If we were to grind wheat, who knows how long that would take. So I went to the Qiao Family. They happened to have guests over, and had made too much food. I offered to buy it, but they declined, so I brought it over.”
“Anyways, she’s to be married to Sanlang. What’s the harm in eating a meal she made?!”
Hearing this, Tong Tiehu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pronounced, word by word, “Xingda, hit her, hit her hard!”
Tong Xingda, originally washing his hands, promptly snatched the pottery jug from matriarch Zhang, and kicked her in the stomach, knocking her over.
Caught off guard by this sudden kick, the matriarch Zhang was stupefied. The force of this kick was much stronger than the slaps she received earlier in the day!
Groaning in pain, she clutched her stomach and retorted, “What did I say wrong? If she can’t stand it, let her not marry!”
In her heart, she wanted to retort, ‘if you can’t stand it, don’t eat.’ She had travelled such a long distance to bring the food, only to be kicked away.
But Tong Tiehu’s terror held over from the past made her swallow her words.
“When did she ever say she would marry Sanlang? You think your Sanlang is some hot commodity?” Tong Tiehu scoffed, “Xingda, hit her! Hit her in the face! I want to see if she still dares to spout nonsense!”
