Chapter 664: Chapter 664: At Worst We Can Split Up
Staring down Tong Xingda’s burning gaze, Tong Sanlang spoke expressionlessly, “Since you all have your reason, and feel wronged and taken advantage of, then go to the County Town and file a complaint. The county magistrate will give you justice.”
The moment Tong Sanlang’s words fell, Tong Xingda’s foot shot out, kicking towards his face, clearly indicating that he had already exposed the fraudulence of the marriage to Qiao Xiaomai!
Marriage deception!
Qiao Xiaomai had the support of Prince Wei, no wonder she could be so fearless and audacious!
His father’s palm swung at him, but Tong Sanlang stepped back just in time to avoid it, his expression unchanged as he looked at Tong Xingda, “Dad, since both you and mom feel aggrieved, then go ahead and file the complaint. I support your decision.”
“I’m going to kick your ass, you little bastard, watch me beat you to death!”
Tong Sanlang’s words were like pouring oil on the fire for Tong Xingda. He had already unveiled the truth of the marriage deception to Qiao Xiaomai, why the hell would he still file a complaint.
When Qiao Xiaomai revealed the truth, he would be the one unable to find a way out!
Taking advantage of him and deliberately infuriating him, he deserved to die!
“Enough, stop it!” Hearing Tong Xingda’s curse, Tong Tiehu couldn’t help but darken his face. Tong Sanlang’s grandfather was him, and Tong Xingda had included him in his insults.
“Sanlang, put your father in his room!” He commanded with a stern look.
Such irrational behavior!
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang immediately moved. He turned into a gust of wind, grabbed Tong Xingda’s shoulder, and disappeared from the courtyard in an instant.
He locked Tong Xingda in his room.
Of course, Tong Xingda didn’t give in, his vituperative shouting was so piercing that it threatened to penetrate people’s eardrums. Tong Tiehu’s face tightened, and he said, “Sanlang, you and Xiaomai should go home first.”
“I think we should take Dad to town anyway, and have a thorough discussion with the county magistrate,” Qiao Xiaomai was still standing at the door, not moving.
“Today is the rural examination, the county magistrate doesn’t have time to deal with such trivial matters.”
“Then, tomorrow. Since both Dad and Mom feel wronged, let the county magistrate give them justice,” Qiao Xiaomai insisted with a plain face. “I’ve paid off the debt of gratitude. We’re even. All I want is a peaceful married life. If it’s not peaceful, don’t blame me for seeking a divorce.”
Divorce!
As soon as this word was thrown out, everyone present in the courtyard turned pale.
Especially Zhang Family and Zhu Hongyun. A woman, after being married and becoming second-hand goods, dared to initiate a divorce. It was truly shocking!
Tong Tiehu deeply inhaled. It seemed Qiao Xiaomai’s tolerance for his family had really reached its limit.
No wonder. She wasn’t from here, it was impossible to confine her with local thinking.
Tong Sanlang pursed his lips but stayed silent. He walked over to Qiao Xiaomai, grabbed her arm, and left the courtyard.
Qiao Xiaomai shook off his hand indifferently, “What’s with your long face?”
She lowered her eyes and climbed on the ox cart.
Upon seeing this, Tong Sanlang’s lips receded into a thin line. He walked over, grabbed the cart reins, and silently guided the cart towards the old courtyard.
The two were silent on the way. When they arrived at the old courtyard and Tong Sanlang closed the gate, his first words were, “I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you won’t mention the word ‘divorce’.”
His expression and tone were filled with uncontrollable distress.
“I thought long and hard about marrying you so we could be happy together for a long time.”
Qiao Xiaomai was scooping water from the bucket to wash her hands. On hearing his words, she paused for a moment, then continued to scoop water into the wooden basin, replying, “Hmm.”
