Ms. Hetian suddenly raised her voice, cursing the brother she once cherished as a beloved treasure!
Mr. Tian and Old Lady Han were both stunned.
Ms. Hetian’s tone of cursing, along with the cold expression she showed when she saw her brother peeking at the cave entrance, left the elderly couple feeling unsettled.
How could such a cold and harsh woman still resemble the once loving elder sister?!
At this moment, Mr. Tian finally realized that Tian Daniu truly had no attachment to the Tian Family anymore!
If he and his wife dared to provoke her, she would dare to strike out against Tian Yaozong, or even Tian Fugui!
"...It might as well be hitting me directly!"
After all, Tian Yaozong and his son were Mr. Tian’s lifeline. The thought of his precious son and cherished grandson being bullied by Tian Daniu was like a needle piercing his heart!
But, Mr. Tian also understood that Tian Daniu wouldn’t hit the old couple.
That girl, who knows what’s happened, has become both cunning and ruthless.
A daughter hitting her parents would surely be despised.
But an elder sister hitting a younger brother, especially one who had once given everything for her younger brother, would only make others think she had a good reason.
Not only would they not stop her, but those people would also stand by and applaud the elder sister.
Mr. Tian closed his eyes tightly, though there was still a trace of doubt in his heart: he didn’t believe that Tian Daniu would really hit her brother, but he didn’t dare to gamble.
Although Tian Yaozong came from a farming family, he had never been beaten or suffered.
Mr. Tian, even if he wanted to test, wouldn’t use someone as precious as Tian Yaozong as a test piece.
...Forget it, let’s leave it like this for today!
Tian Daniu might be in a fit of anger now, after a few days when her anger subsides, he and his wife would talk to her properly!
After all, they are family, and the former Tian Daniu was truly "reasonable."
Perhaps she was just pushed too hard today—
Mr. Tian’s mind spun quickly; he truly understood the art of retreating and advancing, and immediately made a decision.
"Daniu, today’s incident was indeed wrong of me and your mother, but Yaozong knows nothing of it. You siblings shouldn’t become estranged because of this!"
"Fine! You want to uphold the He Family’s household, your father and mother feel the pain, but won’t stop you. After all, this is the rule and it can’t be broken!"
"However, even if you are married off and become part of the He Family, you are still the biological daughter of your mother and me."
"Times are hard now, we’ve come out to escape the famine, and there is no word from Erniu. You and the others left behind—"
Mr. Tian apologized first and then played the emotion card.
Within his words, there was a faint "reminder."
Every word revealed his scheming, yet seemed reasonable.
Those easily swayed individuals could not help but nod secretly after hearing Mr. Tian’s words—
"What Tian Laosan did today was indeed wrong, but his heart is not bad, perhaps it was just a moment of confusion!"
"Now that he’s come back to his senses and knows he was wrong, he immediately corrects it, which isn’t bad!"
"Exactly, show mercy when possible, let alone Tian Laosan is still Tian Daniu’s biological father."
"Daniu, enough is enough, do you really expect your parents to kneel and beg for your forgiveness?"
These people started chattering among themselves.
The public opinion quickly shifted in Mr. Tian’s favor.
Seeing Mr. Tian playing the victim and smoothing things over, changing from a poisonous father harming his daughter to a good father with difficulties, Ms. Hetian was not angry.
"Dad, look what you’re saying, I said before, I want to separate from the Tian Family for the He Family’s sake, but I am still your and mom’s biological daughter."
"You wanted to sell Xiao Bao, you wanted to poison me, I don’t hate you. I am now leaving with the He Family’s belongings."
"I took a part of the He Family’s money and grain to give to you, just because of our blood relationship!"
"In the future, I will still honor you and mom! There are no wrong parents under the heavens, my life is given by you two, even if taken, it’s as it should be."
"I just beg you to let me raise Xiao Bao, to give an account to the ancestors of the He Family, and then return the life to you, alright?"
Ms. Hetian spoke piteously on purpose.
Her words instantly awakened the onlookers’ memories.
Right, Mr. Tian did try to kill Tian Daniu!
Even if there isn’t overnight resentment between father and daughter, they can’t just pretend nothing happened.
If they were in Tian Daniu’s shoes, they would probably just not care about their parents and become strangers from then on.
Repaying evil with good, even a Saint couldn’t do it, let alone these ordinary people?
