Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Tear Down This House for Me!
Zhu Hongyun sat on the oxcart, hunched over, her head buried in her arm, silent.
Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, “Not going to break anything, huh? Tong Sanlang, kick open all the doors in her house and grab any silver you see.”
“I refuse to believe this family is still playing dead.”
Tong Sanlang held a lantern in his hand. Upon hearing this, he stepped into the courtyard, appearing ghostlike, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the door of the hall.
He raised his foot and kicked straight at the door of the hall.
Compared to the courtyard door, the hall door was sturdier.
However, this “sturdiness” made no difference in front of Tong Sanlang. With his strength, the door of the hall first made a cracking sound, then collapsed with a bang.
The loud noise caused Zhu Hongyun’s body to involuntarily shudder twice.
Qiao Xiaomai scoffed, “I’ll tell you, if you keep playing turtle, I’ll have Tong Sanlang tear down your house, leaving only the kitchen. After all, this house was built with Tong Family’s silver, so Tong Sanlang has every right to tear it down.”
At these words, Tong Sanlang instantly returned to the courtyard entrance. He suggested, “How about we strip off the roof tiles?”
“Take them off, reduce her house to rubble,” Qiao Xiaomai chuckled.
She was harboring an indescribable anger and found dismantling the house more satisfying than chopping down trees or smashing crates.
If she could fly, she would’ve done it herself.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang agreed immediately. He handed her the lantern and, under the moonlight, leaped onto the roof of the hall.
With one sweep of his foot, the tiles fell like rain, crashing to the ground with a clear shattering sound.
The noise echoed in Zhu Hongyun’s ears – incredibly grating.
But to Qiao Xiaomai, it was as delightful as music.
She shouted out in delight, “Keep tearing it down!”
As her words fell, Tong Sanlang drew the flexible sword from his waist. The flash of the blade sent another batch of tiles soaring into the air before falling to the ground like dumplings.
The commotion was loud, particularly piercing in the quiet night.
Zhu Hongyun trembled some more, and the onlooking villagers held their breaths.
They were seriously doing it…
No regard for familial ties at all.
When they heard Tong Sanlang’s declaration, they thought it was a joke, considering his lower status. Yet, who would’ve thought he’d actually carry it out.
Those two large doors, all those tiles, oh my, how much silver would it take to fix all that!
Not just the villagers thought so, Zhu Hongyun felt the same way.
As did Zhu Hongyun’s mother and Zhu Hongfu, who had been playing dead all this while.
They initially thought Tong Sanlang had no other choice but to yield to them, who would have guessed Tong Sanlang could unleash such destructive power!
Zhu Hongfu threw on a robe and dashed outside, “Tong Sanlang, don’t push us too far! You have no right to run wild on Zhu Family’s territory!”
His accusatory tone made Qiao Xiaomai’s anger flare. She called out at once, “Tong Sanlang!”
Tong Sanlang raised his sword again, sending a swirl of blades that caused more tiles to fall, a few nearly hitting Zhu Hongfu, who had to duck and evade.
Tong Sanlang looked at the scene, his face expressionless, “Hongfu brother, you stole my wife’s Braised Pork recipe to make money, and you think you still have the moral high ground?”
“Who stole it? Who stole it? Clearly Hongyun taught it fair and square. If you’re not satisfied, take it up with Hongyun, why bring it to Zhu Family Village!” Google seaʀᴄh n0velfire.net
