Qiao Meipan was irritated by the mention of ‘reputation’ for a reason. During
New Year, the Sun Family had proposed a marriage alliance to the Tong Family on her behalf, only to be rejected by Tong Sanlang. This had become a thorn in her heart.
And now, Qiao Xiaomai was involved with Tong Sanlang, even flaunting it in front of her.
Yes, to Qiao Meipan, Qiao Xiaomai’s words were mere showing off.
Qiao Xiaomai, despite her terrible reputation, managed to get involved with Tong Sanlang, while she herself, having a good reputation, was rejected by him.
This was blatant boasting.
Unbearable!
Qiao Meipan, fiery eyes fixed on Qiao Xiaomai, wanted to destroy her face. This face, this damn face!
In her rage, she instinctively raised her hand, her long nails aiming for Qiao Xiaomai’s face, “You slut! We’ll see you seducing men now!”
Qiao Xiaomai swiftly retreated and avoided Qiao Meipan’s strike. She abandoned the plan of closing the gate, and ran out past Qiao Meipan, “Help! Help! My auntie’s trying to ruin my face! Can someone come and sort this out?”
If Qiao Meipan was discarding her reputation, Qiao Xiaomai would spread the news about this. She remembered that during the previous rumours about Zhuang Luhe’s impiety, Qiao Meipan had a hand in it.
It was mealtime and Qiao Xiaomai’s shouts were loud. Consequently, folks from four or five houses came out with their bowls in their hands.
Some of them cared for Qiao Xiaomai. The Yang Guilan family, for instance.
Some were there for the drama. Li Chunhua, for instance. She had missed the last debacle when Zhu Cuiying tried to stir up trouble at the Sun Family residence and Tong Tiehu ordered a ban on onlookers, which she regretted missing.
“What’s going on?!” Yang Guilan came out, saw Qiao Meipan’s fierce chase of Qiao Xiaomai, and shouted towards the Qiao Family house, “Dami, quickly go and get the Village Chief!”
Qiao Dami had already run out, and he gasped out an acknowledgement, hurrying towards the Tong Family’s side.
Tong Tiehu, after suppressing the Sun Family and Zhu Cuiying, was one of the most prominent figures in his mind!
For any issues, they had to find Grandpa Tong!
Seeing this, Qiao Meipan was further enraged, “Shameless! You sly fox!”
Running to Tong Sanlang for every trivial thing, no wonder this slut managed to hook up with Tong Sanlang! It infuriated her!
“What on earth have I done to warrant such malicious cursing and your attempt to ruin my face?” If Qiao Meipan stopped chasing, Qiao Xiaomai would stop running, standing her ground to confront Qiao Meipan.
“You seduced Tong Sanlang!”
“When did I seduce him? Don’t accuse me of such scandalous rumors!” Qiao Xiaomai was exasperated.
She knew Qiao Meipan was doing all this because of Tong Sanlang, but she truly didn’t want to have anything to do with him!
“If you didn’t seduce him, why would he keep helping you?” Remembering what the Sun Family said about the two returning from town together, and Tong Sanlang rushing after Qiao Xiaomai with his oxcart, she wished she could tear Qiao Xiaomai to shreds right then and there.
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes, “You all came to sell me to the brothel, seize my house, and even framed me for stealing silver. If he wasn’t going to help me, was he supposed to help you?”
Qiao Meipan choked briefly, then her face turned an even deeper shade of red in anger, “It’s because you seduced him! You slut!”
Unable to stand it any longer, Yang Guilan intervened, “Meipan, perhaps it’s best if you forget about Tong Sanlang. You’re not young anymore. Instead of wasting your time on him, you should be looking for other young men. Otherwise, you’ll end up an old maid.”
Qiao Meipan was sixteen that year. If she continued entangling herself with Tong Sanlang, she would indeed become an old maid..
