Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Chickened Out_1
Zhang Xiaoman, regardless of Zhang Family’s struggle, forcefully dragged her out of Jiwei House. Taking a few quick steps to the side, he whispered urgently, “Don’t even think about going to the County Governnt Office to accuse Sanlang!”
“That beast doesn’t care whether his own mother lives or dies, why shouldn’t I accuse him!” Zhang Family was unconvinced.
“What if your accusation ruins his future? The Zhang Family has finally produced a successful candidate in the imperial examinations; you must not destroy this chance for him!”
“Am I just supposed to let him continue being unfilial?!”
“Speak to him kindly and reasonably,” Zhang Xiaoman offered advice.
“He now listens only to that wretched Qiao Xiaomai; he won’t listen to a word I say.” ntioning this filled Zhang Family with grievances.
She really was the most unfortunate mother of a successful candidate throughout the whole Daqi.
Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice, she had completely gambled away her son!
“Then why don’t you soften your words to win back his heart? Make him so clothes, cook him sothing delicious, say so kind words to him, and surely he’ll side with you again,” Zhang Xiaoman persuaded.
“I’m his mother, and now I should lower myself to beg him?!” Zhang Family glared at Zhang Xiaoman, full of resentnt.
“But what can you do to him now? You said even Xingda can’t manage him,” Zhang Xiaoman patiently explained the logic to Zhang Family, “His wings are hardened now, so you should change your temper!”
“In short, you are not allowed to go to the County Governnt Office to accuse him!”
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Family fell silent.
But her face still showed a look of dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman felt a headache coming on.
His sister had enjoyed many years of good life in the Tong Family and had beco foolish!
“I won’t argue with you. I’ll let Xingda talk to you. Co on, follow back to the village,” Zhang Xiaoman said, pulling Zhang Family along.
Zhang Family quickly shook off his arm. “Our relatives are all sitting inside!”
“Let’s not eat anymore. Anyway, we don’t have the silver, and the deposit should cover the cost of the dishes we had,” Zhang Xiaoman said irritably. “If I had known you were hiding so much from , I would never have let you act so recklessly today!”
See, this must have thoroughly offended Tong Sanlang, right?
His Zhang Family was Tong Sanlang’s maternal family, the closest relatives!
All for naught!
Zhang Family stood still, unmoving.
Return to the village?
She had kept today’s actions secret from Tong Xingda, so she hadn’t asked Tong Xingda to co over. If Tong Xingda found out about this…
Tong Xingda shouldn’t be angry, right?
She was scheming against Qiao Xiaomai, and she and Tong Xingda were allies.
“You stay there and don’t move!” Zhang Xiaoman, seeing that Zhang Family had fallen silent, turned and squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and re-entered Jiwei House.
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang both looking as gloomy as water, he imdiately squeezed a smile onto his face, “Sanlang, your mother has been feeling upset recently, and may have spoken harshly. You mustn’t take it to heart.”
Tong Sanlang looked at him with a cold expression, “Isn’t she going to accuse ?”
“Those were words spoken in anger, one thing led to another. After all, she’s your birth mother, and it wasn’t easy for her to raise you. Just ignore a few careless words she said,” Zhang Xiaoman quickly urged.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang glanced at him, “If she’s not accusing , then Xiaomai and I will head back first.”
With that, he took Qiao Xiaomai by the hand and headed towards the back courtyard of Jiwei House.
This matter must be told to Tong Tiehu.
His own mother was becoming more and more troubleso!
“Hey, Sanlang, wait a mont!” Zhang Xiaoman quickly followed, “Since the banquet is off, but what about the dishes already served? How much silver does that add up to?”
What if the deposit he made was not enough?
What if Jiwei House insisted they pay three hundred taels of silver?
