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

Chapter 698: Chapter 698 No One to Call for Help

Soon, Tong Sanlang arrived, driving a bullock cart.

By now, the Qian Family matriarch, who had been out visiting, had also returned. It was getting late, and time to make dinner. Otherwise, she would be scolded when Tong Tiehu returned to find the meal wasn’t ready.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing the state of the courtyard, the matriarch from the Qian family was taken aback.

Zhang family’s matriarch was lying on the ground. Zhu Hongyun stood paralyzed. Qiao Xiaomai had one foot on a box and was holding an axe in one hand. There was a large hole in the top of the box.

Li Rou was sitting on the side, munching on dried sweet potatoes and watching the commotion with the two children.

What was going on?!

Before the matriarch from the Qian family could ask for any explanation, the stout laborers who had been out digging sweet potatoes returned.

Upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, Tong Tiehu and others were equally shocked. “What happened?”

“An exceptionally vile incident just took place,” maintained Qiao Xiaomai, still holding the axe and standing on the box. She explained the whole situation, including the two options she offered. She added as a conclusion, “Grandfather, your daughter-in-law Sanlang has chosen the second option. I’ve got the ten taels of silver. What remains is to go to Zhu Family Village to smash their kitchen and apologize.”

Her words were met with silence in the courtyard.

Zhu Hongyun and matriarch Zhang’s plan to harm Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi had been utterly shocking.

Qiao Xiaomai’s forcing matriarch Zhang to eat the Truth Elixir equally shocked everyone.

Qiao Xiaomai’s decisiveness was even more shocking.

Tong Erlang soon recovered from his surprise, and instantly started yelling at Qiao Xiaomai, “Xiaoyun is your sister-in-law! Have you really given up on any consideration for her?!”

“I have indeed given up on giving any consideration. What will you do about it?” Qiao Xiaomai was too lazy to argue about the double standards and absurdity in Tong Erlang’s words. She swung the axe in her hand and hooked her index finger towards him with her left hand, “If you’re not convinced, come on, fight me.”

“Do you really think…” Tong Erlang stomped his feet and strode towards Qiao Xiaomai.

His words were soon interrupted by Tong Sanlang, “Second Brother! When you said you wanted Xiaomai to teach your wife how to cook braised pork, did Xiaomai teach her?!”

“She did teach her, but today’s incident…”

Tong Sanlang interrupted him again, “That’s enough! She has done everything she could. If you continue to pressure her, she will only choose the first option. Do you want your first child to be born in jail!”

At these words, Tong Erlang looked utterly incredulous, “How could you be on Qiao Xiaomai’s side too!”

“You and your wife are on one side, so of course, I and my wife are on the other. We will do as Xiaomai suggested regarding today’s matter.” Tong Sanlang then pointed to the ox cart beside him, “Sister-in-law, get in the cart.”

“No!” Tong Erlang pounced on Tong Sanlang, shouting.

With a blank expression, Tong Sanlang raised his hand and side-stepped. He avoided him and then accurately hit the back of his neck.

Tong Erlang let out a muffled groan, everything went black before his eyes, and his body started to sag.

Tong Sanlang caught him and carried him back to his room.

Then he came out of the room, stood in the courtyard, and again pointed to the ox cart, saying to Zhu Hongyun, “Sister-in-law, get in the cart.”

Zhu Hongyun’s complexion was shifting between white and red. She looked at Tong Tiehu for help.

In the dusk, Tong Tiehu stood silently with his hands behind his back.

Tong Xingda, too, stood still with both eyebrows knitted together.

Tong Dalang and Li Rou stood together holding Tong Xiaoxing, and didn’t even glance at her.

From this family of five men, the only one who could help her and was willing to support her was Tong Erlang, and he had been knocked out.

She had no one left to turn to…
