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

Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050 Incident_1 Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050 Incident_1 Previously, angry at Tong Tiehu’s punitive measures, all she thought about while being locked up was how to kill Qiao Xiaomai.

Now that she truly embarked on the journey, she was instead filled with fear.

“Once we arrive, where will we stay?”

“There are plenty of inns in Capital City, just find one to stay in for the moment, and then go look for Princess Bai Zhi,” said Tong Xingda.

Zhang Family got a bit of substantial comfort, but her worries didn’t decrease by a bit, “How much silver will that cost per day?”

If she couldn’t kill Qiao Xiaomai, she would still have to go back to Anping Village to live, so she couldn’t squander the silver carelessly.

Hearing this, Tong Xingda replied with some impatience, “It’s my money that’s being spent, what are you worried about?”

Zhang Family was scolded and shrank her head, inadvertently bumping into Qiao Meipan. She paused, then turned to look at Qiao Meipan, “Meipan, did you bring all your savings with you?”

Qiao Meipan murmured a low yes.

Zhang Family immediately followed up, “How much is it? This trip to Capital City, who knows how long we’ll have to stay. If it takes too long and your father’s silver isn’t enough, you’re going to have to pay your own share.”

Qiao Meipan was timid, and when Li Rou first approached her, she was unwilling to go to Capital City.

It was only after Li Rou said that the Tong Family would cover all her expenses in Capital City that she agreed.

Zhang Family had previously been supported by anger, not caring about anything. Now that she had calmed down, she was tense and scared, reverting to her old self: penny-pinching, selfish, and self-interested.

As soon as Qiao Meipan heard this, she knew that Zhang Family was having second thoughts, and immediately said, “Let’s stop the carriage, I want to get off.”

The silver Sun Junyan gave her was less than fifty taels. With so little silver, it wouldn’t even be enough to scratch the surface in Capital City.

Zhang Family at least had her husband Tong Xingda, but she was alone and had nothing.

Now that Zhang Family was having second thoughts, she didn’t want to go anymore!

When Tong Xingda heard this, he said impatiently, “Stop making a fuss, sit properly, just follow me to Capital City.”

Zhang Family heard this, pursed her lips, and muttered under her breath, “Yeah, as if you’re so generous.”

However, she merely grumbled this single complaint and said no more.

Qiao Meipan really wasn’t going, and with only her and Tong Xingda left, her heart was even less certain.

For a while, the carriage quieted down, with only the clatter of horse hooves.

Anping Village.

The villagers with unceasing diarrhea were constantly running to the latrine, having no time to look after the few troublemakers who were locked up. They were all honest villagers who never suspected that Li Rou had poisoned them, merely thinking the egg soup was unclean.

But as the diarrhea became more severe, they couldn’t take it anymore and went to Doctor Wu one by one.

Doctor Wu knew what was happening as soon as he looked and asked. He prescribed them medicine at once and told them to go home to boil it.

He also reminded them to check on the few troublemakers locked up by the Tong Family on their way back.

The sudden use of laxatives surely meant someone was up to no good.

Those ten people started to panic at the thought and hurriedly rushed back to the old courtyard of the Tong Family.

When they arrived at the old courtyard, Tong Xingda and Zhang Family were gone, but Zhu Hongyun and Tong Erlang were still there.

With two people missing, the ten villagers became even more panicked. They wanted to go looking for them, but their stomachs were still in constant distress. After hesitating, they decided to wait for daylight to search, convincing themselves that Tong Xingda and Zhang Family could not have gone far; better to go home, boil the medicine, and take it first!

The commotion lasted until daylight when the shift change arrived. They immediately went to the new residence of the Tong Family to find Tong Tiehu.

Tong Tiehu was not there; they questioned Li Rou, and Li Rou played dumb.

Having no choice, they rode their bicycles to the manor to search for Tong Tiehu.
