Chapter 598: You’re Just Being Polite, Right?
The conversation quickly ended, and Qiao Xiaomai returned to her room. Tong Sanlang had prepared the hot bath water, and after the two bathed, they lay in bed.
Qiao Xiaomai told Tong Sanlang about the conversation she had with Tong Tiehu.
She lay on her side, propping up her head in one hand, and patting Tong Sanlang’s back with the other, said, “It’s so worth it to completely buy you out with such a small sum of silver. It’s a pity that Grandpa refused.”
Offer a large sum of money to Zhang Family right now and shut everyone up.
If the Zhang Family tried to make a fuss in the future, she could always refute them from a moral high ground.
Pity that, Tong Tiehu had sent Zhang Family away.
With a ager tael of silver for monthly filial piety money, and a modest business making a few cents a day, Zhang Family couldn’t withstand hardship and would have to trouble her and Tong Sanlang again.
At that ti, she and Tong Sanlang would certainly have to continue to appease her.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
In her tone was a hint of regret. Tong Sanlang lay facing her mirror-like, his eyes were ink-black and he stared straight at her, “Do you really want to take this silver?”
“Yes,” Qiao Xiaomai nodded slightly, pointing at his chest with her index finger, “In honor of the motherly love she extended to you these past seventeen years.”
“But I couldn’t earn that much silver for you.” Tong Sanlang, hearing this, gripped her hand fumbling on his chest, his tone was a bit low, resonating with loss.
This was a difficult question his mother posed to Qiao Xiaomai, he felt ashad.
“Didn’t you give five thousand taels of private savings?”
“But I willingly wanted to give that to you, you can’t mix matters.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She pulled her hand out of Tong Sanlang’s grasp and slapped it on his arm, “Do you always have to belittle , to the point of exhaustion? Do you not consider as your own family?”
Her words were not made impishly, she ant them sincerely.
“Of course, you’re my family!” Tong Sanlang quickly replied, “I just feel that… I haven’t done much for you…”
He couldn’t help Qiao Xiaomai with anything, yet his family always troubled her instead.
“Who says you haven’t done much? Was it not Grandpa and you who helped against the Sun Family, and who helped end that toxic family relationship? Although these words were Tong Xingda’s repaynt for his debt of gratitude, she always rembered them.”
“And wasn’t it you who helped build the shelter for my family? And who is it that heats the bath water for every day, and who is it that helps to the bathroom?”
“Don’t say these things are trivial, it’s the details that show the sincerity. If you think you’re stupid, then you really are. Were you considering my words, ‘What’s mine is yours’, as re pleasantries?”
“If you don’t think this is enough, then from now on, be good to and love properly. You’re just rambling anyway, there’s not even a hint of a man’s decisiveness!”
Thinking about this, Qiao Xiaomai again slapped him a few tis out of frustration.
Really, she swore by heaven and earth, she didn’t want Tong Sanlang to use male dignity as an excuse to keep things separate between them.
There’s really no need for it, absolutely not.
She was even willing to give her life, all silver was an exterior possession, okay?
Qiao Xiaomai suddenly erupted, leaving Tong Sanlang stunned.
He stared at Qiao Xiaomai with his dark sparkling eyes, sowhat bewildered, “Are you… angry?”
“You think I shouldn’t be angry?” Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes once again, and without holding back, slapped him again.
She wasn’t playing around with these blows, which is why she was hitting him harder.
Feeling the sudden increase in force, Tong Sanlang involuntarily frowned.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai snorted, hit him again, turned over, with her back against the wall, she closed her eyes. Sleep!
