With this period came abdominal pain.
However, it wasn’t too severe, it was within tolerable bounds.
Reluctantly, she put on a sanitary pad, feeling horribly depressed.
She had heard that menstrual cycles might be irregular at first, and she wasn’t sure if this qualified as a disorder. But since she was heading to town to see Qiao Changshun for his leg today, she might as well get some medicine.
After breakfast, she put some dried tofu that she made yesterday into a basket, along with some bean sprouts. The three of them then set off in a donkey cart.
Before going to town, Qiao Xiaomai planned to visit the Tong Family first.
No matter what Tong Sanlang did, she had to thank Tong Tiehu.
The day before yesterday, she bound the Sun Family and went to County Town to break off relations. She also treated everyone to lunch and then beat up Sun Junyan. Such victories wouldn’t have been possible without Tong Tiehu’s intervention.
Therefore, she had to express her gratitude.
After expressing gratitude, she would then sell her house to Tong Sanlang, and then…
There wouldn’t be any further interaction, right?
Her home was somewhat secluded, from her house it was quite a slow ride by donkey cart to the street where the Tong Family lived. The faint sound of a commotion could be heard from some distance away, mixed with a young woman’s crying and the scolding of a shrew.
She was unfamiliar with the crying, but the shrew’s scolding was familiar.
It was none other than Sun’s wife.
She couldn’t help but raise her gaze toward the source of the noise, and saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the Tong Family’s house. There were so many people there, blocking the inside view. She couldn’t see.
Instinctively, she stood up and tiptoed to get a better view inside.
Now, she could see clearly.
Sun’s wife was sitting at the entrance of the Tong Family’s house. She was pounding her thigh while her other hand pointed at the Tong Family’s door, yelling curses, her face flushed and expression fierce.
Qiao Meipan was sitting beside her, sobbing and pressing a handkerchief against her face, gasping for breath as if she might faint at any moment.
Tong Sanlang was standing at the entrance with his arms crossed over his chest, his handsome face cold.
Tong Tiehu was sitting at the entrance with a grim expression, shaking with fury.
Half of Mrs. Qian peeked out from the iron door, looking distressed.
As the donkey cart approached, the scolding of Sun’s wife became clearer. “Tong Sanlang, let me tell you! You peeked at my daughter, agreed to get married, and now refuse to marry her! You unfaithful man, if you do not agree to marry her today, 1 swear I will commit suicide in front of your house!”
“Even as a ghost, 1 won’t let you off!”
Tong Tiehu said coldly, “My son would never fancy your daughter! When you proposed, I clearly refused!”
At these words, Sun’s wife slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Your son openly refused, but secretly seduced her! Not marrying but taking her body, what on earth!.”
“If Tong Sanlang doesn’t give an explanation today, both Meipan and 1 will commit suicide at your doorstep! 1 have never seen a man as scoundrel as him!”
Qiao Xiaomai”…”
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming.
However, it was obviously all fabricated.
Would Tong Sanlang ever be interested in Qiao Meipan?
The sun would have to start rising from the west.
“Where’s the evidence? If you claim 1 toyed with your daughter, where is your proof? If you can’t produce evidence, it is slander, which is punishable by a beating.” Tong Sanlang said, his handsome face impassive.
“Here is the evidence!”
Sun’s wife pulled something resembling a silk cloth from her bosom. She shook it out and waved it in front of the villagers, and then declared, “Hmph, this is the undergarment fallen when Tong Sanlang privately met with Meipan.. This is the proof!”
