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

Chapter 1383: Chapter 1182: Do I Deserve This for Being Lowly?_1 Chapter 1383: Chapter 1182: Do I Deserve This for Being Lowly?_1 Tong Sanlang had just visited the Zhang Family, but since they all lived within the same Courtyard, and he had excellent hearing, he had heard every single word Qiao Xiaomai had said without missing a single one.

He could no longer pay attention to the nonsense spouting from the Zhang Family; he lifted his leg and headed to the living room.

Thinking back on the words the Zhang Family had just said, he pursed his lips and spoke up, “You don’t need to mind my mother’s nonsense. You know what she’s like. The more you engage with her, the more energized she gets. Just ignore her.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai turned around to face the doorway, gazing at Tong Sanlang. A sardonic smile suddenly curved her lips, and a rich expression of mockery appeared on her face, “Ignore her?”

“Why should I ignore her? She cursed me with the most malicious language all morning, and everyone in the Courtyard heard it. Tong Sanlang, do you think that I don’t care about my own dignity? Do you think I have such thick skin that even if she came up and slapped me, I wouldn’t feel the pain?”

“Even before we were wed, she stormed into my home with fury and snatched away the meal I had just prepared. After we married, she smeared my reputation and contrived every method to deal with me. Touch your own conscience and ask–has she done one single thing that was fair to me?”

“Just because she’s an elder, just because I’m capable, does that mean I have to accommodate her? Do I have to let her attack me with all sorts of malicious language?”

“Ha!”

Qiao Xiaomai scoffed coldly, “If it weren’t for your sake, given my temper in the past, I would have already made her situation even more miserable than that of the Sun Family.”

“I’ve tolerated her time and time again. What have I gained from it? Tell me, Tong Sanlang, what has all my tolerance brought me?”

At this point, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but clench her teeth, a thick hatred in her tone nearly bursting from her chest, “Tong Sanlang, search your conscience and ask how much grievance Qiao Xiaomai, your wife, has suffered. Why should I endure her?”

“I’ve told you before–I don’t acknowledge her as a mother-in-law. She is nothing but an utterly loathsome and malicious person to me. Why on earth should I tolerate such a person? Why should I let her point at my nose and curse me?”

“I, Qiao Xiaomai, am not a roadside weed; I too have a mother. I am the daughter my mother cherishes and dotes on in the palm of her hand. Why should I be insulted by your mother with all sorts of low and vicious language? Am I despicable and deserving of it?”

“No!” As Tong Sanlang listened to her speech, his lips had already formed a straight line, but when he heard the words “despicable” and “deserving,” he immediately shook his head, regret, guilt, and pain showing on his face, a mixture of emotions intertwining, causing his eyes to redden.

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault,” he said.

“Indeed, it is your fault,” Qiao Xiaomai said, looking at his reddened eyes as a thin mist welled up in her own.

She bit her lip, forcing back her tears.

“Tong Sanlang, I don’t want to hear your meaningless apologies. The grievances I’ve suffered can’t be offset by your light three words. Tong Sanlang, your expectations of me are too high; I can’t just ignore and not mind things. I’m not as saintly as you think, not as compassionate and understanding as you imagine.”

“Today, I’ve taken issue with her–today, I’ve stood up to her. I’m telling you, today either she leaves or I leave.”

“After leaving, life and death are left to fate. You choose.”

Letting go, she indeed couldn’t bear to.

But she couldn’t continue to suffer in silence.

So, she forced Tong Sanlang to make a choice. If idle questions won’t elicit an answer from him, then she would force one with her actions.

As long as he chose her, she would accept the grievances of the past.

She wouldn’t hold grudges anymore.
