Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Let’s Go, Revenge
Hua Xiaofeng had a belly full of anger for Qiao Changshun.
She had seen cowards before, but never anyone as cowardly as him. Sun Family had driven Zhuang Lühe to suicide, yet Qiao Changshun maintained a maddening calm. What use was there in keeping such a husband?!
“We just got her back, look at how much she suffered! Then Sun Family came, and you didn’t even attempt to stop them, just watched as she threw herself at the wall! Marrying you was the biggest mistake!”
“I did try to stop them, but I couldn’t….” Qiao Changshun explained in a weak voice.
He tried to push away Sun Family but ended up being knocked down because of his weak legs.
“It’s all because you’re incompetent! She was originally a beautiful and pure girl, she married you to live a peaceful life. But look at what’s happened! She even preferred the life at the Zhuang Family’s village!”
Hua Xiaofeng was flustered and angry, and spat on Qiao Changshun’s face.
She was genuinely angry. After Zhuang Lühe returned, Qiao Changshun invited Hua Xiaofeng. When she arrived and saw Zhuang Lühe, even as a stepmother, she couldn’t help but shed genuine tears.
She instructed Qiao Changshun to take good care of Zhuang Lühe, and what was the result?
He ended up letting Zhuang Lühe kill herself by hurling against a wall!
Qiao Changshun sat on the chair, wishing he could bury his head under it, not uttering a word.
Qiao Xiaomai sat next to him, cradling Qiao Dami, and also remained silent.
Qiao Zhaodi sat on the side, half asleep.
Upon seeing Tong Sanlang enter, Hua Xiaofeng immediately put on a welcoming face, playing the affectionate by calling him Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang nodded in acknowledgement, greeted his grandma, and then turned to Qiao Xiaomai. “Xiaomai, let’s go.”
Embracing Qiao Dami, Qiao Xiaomai stood up. “Grandma, sorry for the inconvenience tonight. Sanlang and I will head back first and come over tomorrow morning.”
“Oh no, it’s no inconvenience at all. I’ll take good care of Lühe. You two should go back, you’ve had a tough time these past few days,” Hua Xiaofeng quickly waved her hand.
Qiao Xiaomai nodded, then boarded the ox cart with Tong Sanlang while holding Qiao Dami.
It was inconvenient to ride a horse with Dami in her arms.
By the time they arrived back at the manor, Qiao Dami had fallen asleep, and so had Qiao Yindi.
But Qiao Yindi had heated up some water for them. Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang hadn’t bathed for several days of travel. By the time they finished washing and laid down, it was already late at night.
Qiao Xiaomai immediately fell asleep once she hit the bed. Tong Sanlang sighed quietly when he saw her slightly knitted brows.
He reached out his arms to hold her tight, then quickly fell asleep himself.
The next morning, they both woke up early. Tong Sanlang made a simple breakfast, had Qiao Yindi look after Qiao Dami, and went to the town with Qiao Xiaomai.
Hua Xiaofeng, lively and vigorous, greeted them with a bright smile, looking like a chrysanthemum flower in full bloom.
“Let’s go, it’s time to take revenge on the Sun Family,” said Qiao Xiaomai.
“Let’s go, let’s go! I swear to tear her dirty mouth today!” Hua Xiaofeng was extraordinarily enthusiastic.
“Remember, we are taking revenge for my mother,” reminded Qiao Xiaomai.
The “Daqi Law” has clear regulations about beating others. Being too violent can lead to imprisonment. Hence, an “official” excuse is needed. This way, even if it were brought to court, it could be treated as accidental and unintended.
For instance, if someone’s arm or leg was broken in a fight and it was deliberate, imprisonment would be unavoidable.
However, if it was accidental, compensation of silver would suffice. Read full story at novelFɪre.net
It must be said that dealing with the Sun Family was really troublesome. Words were useless against them, so one can only resort to fighting.
But even then, one had to tread carefully and not cross the line.
