Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Knowing Fear Now_1 Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Knowing Fear Now_1 “Dad, Mom, just go ahead and do it, no matter how Grandpa punishes us, Xiaorou and I can bear it.” Thinking of the peculiar looks he had endured recently, Tong Dala couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Don’t worry, once we’re in the Capital City, there will be nobles everywhere, and that little village girl won’t be able to act so presumptuously,” Tong Xingda said, suddenly tasting freedom, his tone light and buoyant, wishing he could even bounce as he walked.

The feeling of freedom is really wonderful. For freedom, I’ll give it my all!

As the three of them talked, the ox cart arrived at the old Courtyard of the Qiao Family.

Qiao Meipan had already packed a small bundle, and upon seeing these three people come to pick her up, she bit her lip and boarded the ox cart.

Once she was on the ox cart, there was no turning back for her.

But she had no thoughts of turning back anyway. Her current situation was as bad as it could get. Living alone in an empty Courtyard, with Qiao Xiaomai giving her a little grain each year to keep her from starving–what was the difference between this life and being dead?

If Qiao Xiaomai wouldn’t give her a way out, then she would try her luck in the Capital City.

As long as something happened to Qiao Xiaomai, Qiao Changshun surely wouldn’t be able to keep such a large family property, and by then she would be able to claim a share.

So she was going for it, heading to the Capital City with Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family!

Clutching the bundle tightly in her hand, she went to the town to find old man Han and boarded a carriage with Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family.

The three of them said goodbye to Tong Dala, and in the vast darkness of the night, the carriage galloped along the official road towards the Capital City.

The carriage was bumpy, and inside, one couldn’t stop swaying. The weather was still a bit chilly, and the cold wind incessantly pierced through the carriage curtains, creeping inside. Qiao Meipan huddled in a corner, clutching her clothes tightly with both hands, her head down, silent.

The Zhang Family sat next to her, also holding a bundle. This was her first time leaving Huai’an County in all her life. The initial tension of running away gradually dissipated, giving way to anxiety.

A country person, leaving the County Town for the first time, and heading to the Capital City.

If the plan ultimately failed, what then…

If they encountered robbers on the way, what then…

“Husband, us going to the Capital City like this…” With a long and uncertain road ahead, the Zhang Family gripped her bundle tightly, her voice hoarse, “Will it be okay?”

On hearing this, Tong Xingda scoffed, “What could possibly go wrong?”

“The Capital City is so big, and there are so many nobles… What if…”

After all, the Tong Family were just humble commoners; once in the Capital City territory, if they accidentally offended a noble, for them it would be as easy to kill her as it would be to kill an ant…

“What if? It will be fine.” Tong Xingda sat in the middle of the carriage, eyes closed, not the slightest bit worried about the journey ahead.

He had been to the Capital City before, what was there to fear? Wasn’t it just filled with many nobles? His sixth uncle was also a noble, and a left chancellor at that!

If worst came to worst, they could always turn to Jiweiju or the residence of the left chancellor; ordinary people wouldn’t dare provoke him.

With a purse full of banknotes in his arms, and with the left chancellor as a backer in the Capital City, he feared nothing.

Better to focus on thinking about how to kill Qiao Xiaomai.

After arriving in the Capital City, he would first look for Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi must hate Qiao Xiaomai to death, and now given the opportunity for revenge, she certainly wouldn’t miss it.

However, he couldn’t pin all his hopes on Bai Zhi alone; hadn’t a noble said that the items from Qiao Xiaomai’s family were dirty last time? Maybe he could ally with those people.

First, spoil Qiao Xiaomai’s reputation and then kill her.

Even if Tong Sanlang were grief-stricken, could he really kill him?

Later on, find a noble lady for Tong Sanlang. With a new love, how many men could remember a deceased old flame?

The Zhang Family, unaware of Tong Xingda’s connection with Jiweiju, found her worries increasing after hearing his simplistic and brutal assurance.
