Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Delivering Sour Plum Soup

After having her meal, Qiao Xiaomai declined Hua Xiaofeng’s request to stay and fight the Sun and Zhang families. She packed her donkey cart full of stuff and then sent Hua Xiaofeng on her way.

Today, Hua Xiaofeng’s furious rant had provided Qiao Xiaomai with a clearer way of thinking.

Under the current circumstance, she couldn’t be too eager, otherwise, it would make the Zhang family more complacent.

She could only wait for the Zhang family to come and propose for marriage.

How to attract the Zhang family to propose marriage?

Money.

Because of money, the previously harmonious Tong family had instantly shown their ugly faces with bared fangs.

She had money, she was the richest person in Anping Village.

She needed to flaunt her wealth appropriately.

Well…how to do that?

Without coming to any conclusion, she poured the freshly made sour plum soup into a pottery jar, and then drove the ox cart towards the Tong family’s sweet potato field.

Since she had promised to send sour plum soup, she naturally had to deliver it.

Of course, she also intended to see the end result for the Zhang family and Zhu Hongyun.

This mother-daughter duo marching into her home to ask for food, Tong Tiehu wouldn’t let them off easily.

By the time she arrived at the Tong family’s sweet potato field, umbrella in hand, it was already mid-inning.

After enduring half a day of sun exposure, everything from the wild grasses by the road, the crops in the field, and the people working in the field had wilted, especially the Tong family.

Having lived comfortably for so many years, planting sweet potatoes today was undoubtedly a hellish torture for them.

Therefore, the sour plum soup delivered by Qiao Xiaomai was like a ray of light in this hell.

Sour and sweet and cool, gulping down a large bowl in one go was refreshing!

Tong Tiehu didn’t expect Qiao Xiaomai to actually deliver the sour plum soup. He sighed, also went over to fill a bowl, and then motioned for Qiao Xiaomai to stand by his side.

The rest crowded around the ox cart, each holding a bowl, drinking heartily one bowl after another.

Tong Tiehu held the sour plum soup in one hand while using his other hand to wave his straw hat as a fan, saying, “After Sanlang returns home, let him settle today’s meal for you. It was wrong of your aunt to come to your house without notice to buy food.”

“Oh, Grandpa Tong, no need to. You’ve helped me so much in the past. This small food offering is nothing,” Qiao Xiaomai quickly waved her hand.

“Helping you is my duty as a village chief, and your offering to thank me shows good etiquette. But your aunt taking the initiative to come over, that’s a different story.” Tong Tiehu spoke seriously, “You’re a pure girl, you shouldn’t have to tolerate such nonsense.”

As Tong Tiehu mentioned this, he cast a glance at Mrs. Zhang.

After being beaten, she slowly sat up on her own once the pain subsided.

With Tong Tiehu’s words still resonating, no one helped her.

Tong Xingda had beaten her with his own hands. Tong Erlang, feeling sorry for Zhu Hongyun, only asked about her condition perfunctorily. Tong Dalang asked a few superficial questions and took no action, while Tong Sanlang left outright.

Men are unreliable, and so were her three sons. As the ground was scorched by the sun and was too hot to lie down on, she had no choice but to sit up.

Tong Tiehu said she wasn’t allowed to eat, but there were still two steamed buns and half a plate of vegetables left in the food box.

She ate slowly, then continued with her work.

Zhu Hongyun did the same.

Although beaten, they still had to work.

There was no choice; today in the Tong family felt like hell, but if they returned to their maternal home, it would become an everyday hell.

They have no way out and as such, they must endure everything that happened today.

While dragging their feet, they saw Qiao Xiaomai arrive and Zhu Hongyun promptly came over.

Although her cheek was swollen and ugly, and her body ached, she would never miss out on this sour plum soup.

Sensing Tong Tiehu’s gaze, she quietly turned her body, showing her back to him.

Seeing this, Tong Tiehu snorted coldly, why had he been blind in the past to let this nest of stupid women into the family!
