Chapter 766: Chapter 767: Can’t You Keep Calm For A Bit?
Zhu Cuiying stood in the crowd, her face looking uneasy.
She had heard about the conflict between Qiao Xiaomai and the Tong Family. Since the news reached her ears, she hadn’t felt at ease.
After all, it was she who had sowed the seeds of annoyance in Zhu Hongyun’s heart about Qiao Xiaomai by gossiping about him.
Now that Qiao Xiaomai and the Tong Family were in such a stalemate, would she be blamed for it?
Moreover, who would lose and who would win in this fight between Qiao Xiaomai and the Sun Family?
Sun Junyan had also passed the examination now!
After a long hesitation, and noticing that the crowd was about to disperse, Zhu Cuiying slowly stepped forward.
Anyway, everyone in the village had pressed down, so even if Sun Junyan wanted to settle the score later he wouldn’t count her in. She would just cry and complain then.
Those who stayed till the end weren’t just Zhu Cuiying, Qiao Qinghe was also there, looking ashen.
He stepped forward, bit his finger and pressed a fingerprint, looked up at Qiao Xiaomai’s pale face and asked, “Xiaomai, where does the Sun Family live now?”
He didn’t bother with the trio Sun Junyan, Qiao Meipan and Sun Family, and hadn’t asked where they lived.
“Recovering in County Town.” Tong Sanlang was the first to speak.
“Exactly where?” Qiao Qinghe asked.
Qiao Xiaomai looked at the determination in Qiao Qinghe’s eyes and gave a bitter laugh, “Grandpa, you don’t need to get involved in this.”
“In this situation, what can I do?” Qiao Qinghe sighed deeply, “I want to visit her.”
“Why bother? It’s bound to end badly.” Qiao Xiaomai said, “We have been planting wheat these few days, Grandpa, you better focus on working in the fields.”
“Since things have become so heated, I have to go and see. Sanlang, where is the Sun Family living?” Qiao Qinghe turned to Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang thought for a while, then gave the exact address of the Sun Family. Although he knew it would result in an unpleasant situation, if Qiao Qinghe still wanted to go, then let him. “Grandpa, I’ll leave the cattle cart for you, so you can go and visit there in the next few days.”
Qiao Qinghe gave a grunt in reply and couldn’t help but sigh again.
Soon, all the people had pressed their fingerprints. The head of the valley collected the white silk which included Qiao Xiaomai’s blood letter and thousands of fingerprints, and it was more than three meters long in total.
After putting away the white silk, the head of the valley left first.
He needed to pack up and hurry to Capital City.
He was of an old age and weak, so he had to start his journey earlier due to the slow travel.
As soon as the head of the valley left, Tong Erlang instantly jumped onto the high platform and tried to pull Tong Sanlang away.
Tong Sanlang remained unmoved.
He had been standing next to Qiao Xiaomai, who was now frail, and he couldn’t leave her behind. “Second Brother, what’s the matter?”
Tong Erlang couldn’t pull him away and became rather anxious, “Come down first, will you?”
At this moment Tong Xingda also stepped forward. He glowered at Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai, but his gaze was mostly on Qiao Xiaomai. He rebuked, “Can’t you stay out of trouble, you disaster? Look, Sanlang is even willing to risk his bright future for you!”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
She turned around without showing any emotions and stepped down from the high platform.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang hurriedly followed her. “Let’s go home.”
As he spoke, he bent down to pick up Qiao Xiaomai and directly used his light skills to run. Before leaving, he also shouted, “Grandpa Qiao, I’m leaving the cattle cart for you!”
As for Tong Tiehu, he still needed to come into the picture.
He ran off again!
Tong Xingda was so furious that he was rolling his eyes, “This wretched boy!”
No sooner were these words out of his mouth than Tong Tiehu’s hand was raised to strike him, “Scram! You’re embarrassing us! What a scholar like him should do is none of your business!”
