Chapter 643: 643: Even the Mother-in-law Can't Discipline Her!

“The matter was completed without ever speaking about it.” Qiao Xiaomai’s expression remained cold.

“Don’t you know the principle that a child should not speak of their elders’ faults?!” Tong Xingda barked.

“No, I can’t read,” Xiaomai deflected.

“You’re doing this on purpose!” Seeing Xiaomai’s behavior, the sparks of anger in Tong Xingda’s heart instantly turned into a roaring fire.

“I’m speaking the truth, how is that intentional? Why don’t we ask grandpa to judge, or even invite the villagers to judge?” Qiao Xiaomai’s expression remained cold.

Tong Xingda, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, harsh no matter how soft-hearted, she always believed that the louder your voice, the more capable you were.

But to see Tong Xingda scolding her so loudly, simply because he was an elder, tsk.

“Grandpa and the villagers don’t weigh heavily enough; I’m sure you wouldn’t accept their judgment. Maybe we should let Lord Wei judge, he is from the royal family, known for his fairness and impartiality.”

“Moreover, he is currently revising the “Daqi Laws” under the emperor’s orders. I should consult him to see which law restricts a wife from living in her maternal home after marriage.”

Tong Xingda was taken aback…

Mentioning Yang Ye definitely made a statement.

If allegations of fraudulent marriage and Mrs. Zhang’s unfounded words were to reach Yang Ye, then the Tong Family would undoubtedly suffer severe consequences.

His face turned from pale to black.

He was infuriated! Intolerably infuriated!

As the elder, he couldn’t handle Qiao Xiaomai, a village wife!

“Father, let’s talk calmly, talk calmly.” Seeing how angry Tong Xingda was, Tong Sanlang quickly stood up to mediate.

However, as soon as he spoke, Tong Xingda turned his anger toward him, “How can you be called a man? You can’t even control your own wife! Our family went bankrupt for you to get married, and you allow your wife to talk to me like this!”

Tong Sanlang felt wronged hearing these words, and so Qiao Xiaomai answered directly. “Went bankrupt? Wasn’t our property confiscated a long time ago? Sanlang used his private savings for our marriage.”

Had she remained silent, it would have been better. Her retort simply added fuel to the fire.

Tong Xingda became even more enraged. He glared at Xiaomai ferociously. “You have no respect for your elders, you’re lawless!”

Qiao Xiaomai’s expression remained cold. “Oh.”

What words make you particularly furious during a conversation?

Hehe.

Oh.

Those two words are the divine weapons that end any conversation.

Especially given the situation wherein Tong Xingda was so frustrated his face was red and smoking, while Xiaomai simply replied coolly “Oh”.

Tong Xingda stomped his foot and glared at Tong Sanlang. He stood up abruptly and walked around the small table to grab Sanlang by the collar. “You come here!”

Tong Xingda’s actions were unusually rough. Tong Sanlang had no choice but to stand up. “Father, let’s talk calmly.”

“So this is how your wife talks calmly with you?! Worthless! You can’t even control your wife!” Tong Xingda reached to grab Sanlang’s collar. “Since you can’t control her, let’s return home and I’ll teach you exactly how!”

Tong Sanlang dodged his hand, then he put his arm around Tong Xingda’s shoulder, forcibly pulling him toward the exit. “Father, come outside.”

Tong Xingda immediately shouted, “You rebel, what are you trying to do!”

Seeing this, Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe panicked. They both almost simultaneously stood up to intervene. Qiao Xiaomai coldly said, “Sit down!”

“Xiaomai, you….” Qiao Changshun anxiously began to speak. “That’s your father-in-law, how can you speak to him like that?”

“What did I do wrong? Wasn’t our tone the same when we talked? If I talk to my father like this, then does he, as my father-in-law, have some special privilege or something?”

[Tong Sanlang is a local, if he suddenly changes into modern thinking, it will be too abrupt, the transformation should take place gradually]
