“Xiaomai, why bother arguing? Just drag her away.” Tong Tiehu frowned, “The sun is getting harsher. Everyone is waiting.”
“Understood!” Qiao Xiaomai nodded and ground her teeth in secret.
This shrewish woman keeps mentioning the heartbreaking affairs of Qiao Changshun, not knowing how much effort Xiaomai put into calming Qiao Dami, doesn’t she?
Damn it!
Xiaomai rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hand to grab the shoulder of the Sun Family matriarch, and dragged her toward the end of the line.
The matriarch of the Sun Family suddenly screamed in alarm.
This isn’t right, this isn’t right at all!
She came here today to flaunt and experience the fantastic feeling of superiority.
But other than shocking everyone with her status at the very beginning, everything that followed felt off!
Tong Tiehu and these lowly peasants didn’t fawn over her.
He ordered people to drag her away as simply and neatly as before.
Tiehu didn’t rush to marry Qiao Meipan either.
No, this plot is all wrong!
Her family’s Xiaowu has made something of himself and become capable. How dare these people still treat her like this?
At that thought, she struggled fiercely, shouting, “Qiao Xiaomai, you dare to touch me now, aren’t you afraid of General Cen Hong’s punishment?!”
“I am removing the trash that obstructs the normal tax collection, why would he punish me for this?”
“Let go of me!” Seeing that Xiaomai was completely fearless, the Sun Family matriarch panicked. She reached out to grab Xiaomai’s hair.
Seeing this, Tiehu’s figure flashed, instantly appearing next to Xiaomai, he grabbed the matriarch’s shoulder and pushed her away.
His pushing force wasn’t strong, but the matriarch staggered backward several steps and fell onto her bottom.
Her brand new clothes were stained with dust, and her neatly combed hair was somewhat messy, but she didn’t care about these. She slapped her thigh and wailed, “Aiya, there’s no justice! This shameless couple has dared to gang up on me, an old woman. There’s no justice anymore!”
She came here today to show off.
She also hoped to enjoy some unexperienced privileges.
But Tong Tiehu did not play along.
The scolding tone, the serious expression, the swift and decisive handling was as familiar and sharp as ever.
So familiar that she subconsciously gave the same reaction as before: She threw a tantrum.
Although it was a subconscious reaction, on second thought, there was no better way to handle this.
All she could do was bring up Cen Hong, but Xiaomai countered with Yang Ye.
She knew that a prince outranked a general.
Overbearing didn’t work, she was unwilling to quietly join the line in disgrace. She had no other choice.
“Sun Family matriarch, what are you howling about? You’re being unreasonable and you’re still acting like you’re in the right?” Xiaomai snorted, immediately looking towards Tiehu, “Don’t mind her. Continue what you were doing. Let her howl and see how long she lasts.”
When dealing with someone like her, the more you argue, the more loudly she howls.
If you genuinely ignore her, she’ll quiet down.
Tiehu also believed this, hearing her words, he glanced at her, nodded lightly, turned around and continued what he was doing.
The Sun Family matriarch was indeed left on her own.
On the threshing floor where they were drying wheat, there was no shade from trees. It was nearing midday, and the sun was blazing. Everyone was feeling drowsy from the heat. Seeing that Xiaomai and Tiehu had settled the matriarch and there was no more fun to watch, they began drooping again, one by one feeling dreary and listless.
The Sun Family matriarch was truly left alone.
The Sun Family matriarch closed her gaping mouth.
Stunned.
She couldn’t throw a tantrum after all.
Did she really need to join the line at the back in such a dismal manner?
