Chapter 663: Chapter 663: I Also Want to Sue the Tong Family
“Get out of my way! It’s not like you are exceptional because you have a bit of stinking money! What does she even amount to!” Tong Xingda was so angry that he attempted to shove Tong Sanlang aside.
Tong Sanlang stood unflinching. He raised his long arm and firmly caught Tong Xingda’s thrusting arms. His handsome face held a hint of suppressed anger. “Father, calm yourself down!”
“You were the one who proposed the marriage along with grandfather. You knew our family situation, and you knew the Qiao Family’s circumstances too. It was because grandfather helped her a few times that she gave up better options and married into our humble family in the name of ‘redistributing good fortune.’
“Her reason for marrying me was to repay the kindness of grandfather. Now that mom is in good health, her gratitude is fully repaid.”
“But, what did second sister-in-law do to repay her after she taught her to prepare braised pork?”
“We initially agreed to divide the family after mom recovered. How did you and mom respond? You wanted her recipe, she gave it. You asked for her money, she gave it. So, what’s the result?”
“The result is, mom accused her of being indecent with other men, and you’ve been treating her like a kitchen maid.”
“She chose to face hardships in our house to repay her gratitude rather than leading a good life, still you don’t appreciate her and make her life difficult. Fine, you’re not satisfied with her? Let’s take it to court. Go ahead! Let’s go to the County Government Office now, I won’t stop you.”
Tong Sanlang released Tong Xingda, leaving the threat hanging in the air, a severe look on his handsome face.
By this time, Qiao Xiaomai had reached the courtyard entrance. Hearing this, she stopped, turned around, surveying everyone in the courtyard with a cold look. “I wanted to live a better life after getting married, but my life as a wife turned out to be worse than before. If that’s the case, I would rather stay single.”
“I married into this family to repay a favor, and I have done that. All this constant arguing, the Tong Family exploiting their elder status to confiscate my dowry and forcing me to teach their secrets—I plan to press charges too.”
“Since the day is still young, let’s all go to the County Town to file a lawsuit, and we’ll see who wins.”
Qiao Xiaomai’s belief was that life after marriage should be better than when single. She wasn’t a masochist. If her married life turned out to be worse than when she was single, there was no way she would agree to it.
But now, she had fallen for Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang had a bunch of extremely outrageous relatives.
For Tong Sanlang, she agreed to this marriage.
For the sake of saving face for Tong Sanlang, she had been patient at first, showing respect to everyone.
A sister-in-law wanted her recipe. She gave it.
Zhang Family wanted recipes. She provided several, even helped set up a stall at the entrance of Extremely Delicious Residence.
She even gave sixteen hundred taels of silver.
Within a few hundred miles, which wife would go to these lengths?
These ingratitude people were still not satisfied, then don’t blame her for being blunt.
They might as well get divorced then.
As for what Tong Sanlang would choose, let him decide.
After all, she had reached her tolerance limit, she wouldn’t back down anymore.
When Qiao Xiaomai finished, the whole courtyard was silent, including Tong Xingda, who was fuming and looked like he might explode.
Lawsuit?
How could Qiao Xiaomai, as a junior, impose her will and still have the audacity to threaten a lawsuit?
Tong Xingda wanted to jump with frustration, muttering “What, you think it’s okay to be disrespectful and then claim to be in the right?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But his brain reacted faster than his impulse. Lawsuit? Looking at Qiao Xiaomai, he realized she didn’t seem to be joking, so he couldn’t help but glare at Tong Sanlang.
Did Tong Sanlang tell Qiao Xiaomai about Zhang Family faking illness?
