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

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: Thoroughly Resolving Future Troubles_1 Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: Thoroughly Resolving Future Troubles_1 The condition of the Zhang Family matriarch was dire, her hair nearly all shaved off, her entire head wrapped in white cloth stained with splotches of blood, presenting a rather harrowing sight.

The physician had to administer medicine and change the bandages every half hour, whether she would pull through depended entirely on her own strength.

“I’ve fed her the medicine, and I’ve also hired a caretaker to look after her. If you’re not too busy, stay here and watch over her for now. You don’t need to do anything else, just keep an eye on her,” said Tong Sanlang.

He had his own duties to attend to, as he needed to be at the city gates.

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “What about grandfather? Go to Ji Wei Ju and check on grandfather.”

“I’ll head there now.” Tong Tiehu was fuming as well, and he intended to go to Ji Wei Ju for a look.

By the time he arrived at Ji Wei Ju and found Shopkeeper Hong, he learned that Tong Tiehu had already gone to the small courtyard they had previously rented, so he hurried over there as well.

When the grandfather and grandson met, Tong Sanlang quietly briefed him on the Zhang Family matriarch’s condition. After hearing the update, Tong Tiehu snorted deeply, “Give her more Spiritual Spring water, and make sure she doesn’t die.”

If the Zhang Family matriarch died, he would be punished.

Moreover, both Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai would have to observe mourning, which meant three years without serving as an official or having children, and although he could forgo the official post, he was eagerly waiting to hold a great-grandson!

“I’ve told Xiaomai,” Tong Sanlang responded.

“She has a clever plan to force you into submission,” Tong Tiehu said through gritted teeth, recalling the scene where the Zhang Family matriarch knelt before Tong Sanlang. “Once we’re certain she’s stable, I’ll tie her up and take her away immediately.”

“She thinks she can stay in the Capital City? She wishes!”

Tong Sanlang heard this but said nothing, keeping silent for a while before speaking, “Grandfather, I must go to the city gates now.”

“Go on, come see me again tomorrow,” Tong Tiehu patted his shoulder reassuringly, “Don’t be angry, just consider it as having no parents.”

At these words, Tong Sanlang forced a bitter smile, sighed deeply, and walked away.

After Tong Sanlang left, Tong Tiehu pondered for a moment and then went out to find Fan Linong.

He was grateful to Fan Linong for personally escorting him to the Capital City, but now that the Zhang Family matriarch couldn’t leave for the time being, he couldn’t leave either.

There was no need for Fan Linong to stay in the Capital City with him, so he went to speak with him.

Understanding the situation, Fan Linong explained that his duty was to guard the manor and its thousand acres, and he couldn’t stay long. After discussing with Tong Tiehu, he decided to leave with his men the next morning.

After Fan Linong departed, Tong Tiehu saw him off to the city gates, and once the carriage was out of sight, he made his way to Ji Wei Ju.

Ji Wei Ju had just opened for the day, but there were already many people inside, both men and women, all there to listen to “Skyfall Love Chronicles.”

Tong Tiehu sat in the Main Hall and listened for a while, then followed Shopkeeper Hong to the backyard.

In the backyard, Yu Ang was there.

The brothers met, speechless at first, before simultaneously letting out sighs.

So much had happened in the past year, too much for them to know where to begin.

In the end, it was Tong Tiehu who broke the silence, “Do you have any medicine that, when taken, can make a person go mad or become mentally unstable?”

“Hmm?” Yu Ang was puzzled.

“Give it to the Zhang Family matriarch. Yesterday she could kneel to Sanlang, who knows if tomorrow she might try to strike Xiaomai directly. Rather than leaving her to go mad on her own, better to actually make her insane,” Tong Tiehu said.

The Zhang Family matriarch was still young and had decades of life ahead of her; keeping her locked up in a room as before wouldn’t be appropriate.

And she would certainly not tolerate being confined by him for decades.

The only option was to truly drive the Zhang Family matriarch insane.

If she became a real lunatic, he would have a reason to lock her away.

Even if he passed away later, Qiao Xiaomai would have a reason to continue keeping her confined.

A permanent solution, eliminating future troubles once and for all.
