FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 870: Chapter 870: It’s Tongsanlang’s Disobedience! _1

Qiao Xiaomai quickened her steps and caught up with Zhang Family’s matriarch, grabbing her by the shoulders, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Caught again by her, the matriarch of the Zhang Family was annoyed and struggled fiercely, “I’m disciplining my son, what’s it to you!”

“He is not just your son; he is also my husband, Qiao Xiaomai. Of course, I have a say.”

“Today, you tricked me and Scholar Tong into coming here, expecting Scholar Tong to pay for today’s feast. All of Zhang Family’s people are here; why should he, a mere cousin, pay for his cousin’s feast expenses?”

“If you had no money, you shouldn’t have pretended to be rich at the Extreme Flavor House!”

“Always finding ways to trap your own son! Is Scholar Tong really your flesh and blood?”

“I’ve seen plenty of outrageous shrews, but someone like you is a first. The Sun Family, although shrewish and bandit-like, does it for her son. You? Plotting with the Zhang Family to trap Scholar Tong, did you really not pick him up somewhere?”

“Always saying Scholar Tong and I are unfilial, yet never considering whether you’re worthy of being a mother!”

Stupid, whether it’s Zhang Family’s matriarch or people like Tong Xingda and Zhu Hongyun, each and every one is stupid to death.

She was actually a very soft-hearted person, willing to provide recipes and silver as long as these people behaved reasonably, spoke kindly to her, and treated her with respect.

She liked Tong Sanlang; she didn’t want him to be caught in the middle and distressed.

As long as these people muddled through just for appearances, she would be happy to be the big-hearted fool.

But these people didn’t even bother to deceive her properly, not even putting on a pretense, and treated her like dough to knead right in front of her.

Hmph.

After Qiao Xiaomai finished speaking, Zhang Family’s matriarch’s face had turned the color of a pig’s liver. Every sentence from Qiao Xiaomai was like a needle, puncturing her body, causing her entire body to ache.

Clenching her teeth, she cursed, “I birthed him and raised him for seventeen years; now that I’m old, it’s his duty to be filial to me! How does asking him for a bit of silver equate to me colluding with others to trap him?”

“As a scholar, he only gets an annual salary of five hundred catties of grain, and when you divided the household, he gave you one thousand six hundred taels of silver, which he got from my Qiao Family. How much more do you want?”

“You faked illness to trick me into coming to the Qiao Family, and during the separation, you were given recipes and silver, yet you’re still not satisfied. What exactly do you want?”

“All of that one thousand six hundred taels of silver were taken by his father, and I didn’t get a single copper coin!” Zhang Family’s matriarch retorted immediately, “He himself married into the Qiao Family, living a life of luxury, yet he completely ignores me, his birth mother. He’s in the right, is he?!”

Qiao Xiaomai sneered, “The silver has been given; if you didn’t get it, that’s your problem. He’s now helping the Qiao Family with work, should the Qiao Family provide him with slop to eat? If you want to enjoy fine food and drink, come and work for the Qiao Family, and you’ll be guaranteed the same meals!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Family’s matriarch couldn’t help but stomp her feet in anger. She struggled violently, trying to break free from Qiao Xiaomai’s grip, but Qiao Xiaomai’s hands were like mountains, unmovable no matter how hard she tried.

She stared at Qiao Xiaomai’s face, struggling to resist the urge to scratch it to pieces, and hollered, “I am a scholar’s birth mother; who would work for your family!”

“He’s my son; he should provide me with daily meals. I raised him for seventeen years, not to let him abandon his birth mother and indulge himself!”

“You’re always demanding filial piety from him; have you considered his actual capabilities?”

“Are you trying to force him into robbery? Do you want a grown man, a scholar, to covet his father-in-law’s estate?!”

Qiao Xiaomai felt the urge to smack Zhang Family’s matriarch dead. With such a birth mother, what karma did Tong Sanlang bring from a previous life!
