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

Chapter 586: Chapter 586: She’s Weak but She’s Right

At these words, Zhu Hongyun jumped up as if she had stepped on a nail, her face turned crimson as she retorted, “A family matter, and you call it theft? What did I steal? I just didn’t have a chance to notify you!”

Qiao Xiaomai was speechless.

This situation strangely reminded her of Kong Yiji from Lun Xun’s novels.

Is stealing books considered theft? In a scholar’s case, stealing books doesn’t count as theft.

Similarly, for Zhu Hongyun, by her logic, secretly selling prescriptions behind Qiao’s back wouldn’t constitute theft.

No, it was just that she hadn’t had time to inform her.

Zhu Hongyun continued ranting, “This is for our mother’s sickness, it’s a gesture of filial piety. You’ve got so much silver, the dowry you got on your wedding day was comparable to a princess’s. Now, you are accusing me of being a thief for fifty taels?”

She hadn’t seen a princess’s wedding, but to her, the gifts Yang Ye had brought over were more than enough.

She was truly angry. The guilt she initially felt had been turned into anger by Tong Sanlang’s aggressive confrontation. This couple was wealthy enough to look down on all of Bailu Town, and yet they were treating her like an accused thief over fifty taels, in front of so many people.

Was it necessary?

They themselves were richer than a mountain, and now were causing her trouble.

The couple bullying her alone, it’s too much!

“I’m being framed as a thief by you two, fine, fine, you don’t consider me as your sister-in-law, you don’t consider me as family, you two are ganging up against me. In that case, I’ll leave!”

The angrier she thought about it, Zhu Hongyun said this and stormed towards the door.

Tong Sanlang wanted to stop her, but considering the difference in gender and her claim of them ganging up against her, he hesitated and didn’t intervene.

What if he just grabbed her and she decided to lie on the ground claiming he had hurt her? That would be troublesome.

Qiao Xiaomai frowned but didn’t stop her either.

Zhu Hongyun was acting out just as according to her pessimistic estimation, making a mess even when she was in the wrong.

Good, she did not disappoint her expectations one bit.

Act out, make a scene, the more outrageous, the better.

As Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang didn’t stop her, Shopkeeper Zhou certainly wouldn’t. So, Zhu Hongyun successfully stormed out of the kitchen, running off in a fury.

Qiao Xiaomai widened her eyes at Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang hesitated for a moment and said, “She must be going back to her mother’s house.”

The public security in Bailu Town was pretty good, and it was broad daylight. She shouldn’t run into any danger.

Besides, if he so much as suggested following her, Qiao Xiaomai would certainly be disappointed.

Oh…This was a dilemma.

“You go and secretly keep an eye on her, to prevent her getting into trouble,” Qiao Xiaomai saw his hesitance and spoke up.

Currently, she and Tong Sanlang were in the right in this matter.

But if something happened to Zhu Hongyun, they might end up looking bad.

Moreover, out of respect for Tong Er’lang, Tong Sanlang still considered Zhu Hongyun as family.

So, it’s better for Tong Sanlang to discretely follow her.

Tong Sanlang was a bit surprised at these words.

Qiao Xiaomai urged him, “Go ahead, I’ll be here making milk candy.”

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang took a deep breath, “Alright.”

As soon as the word left his mouth, he turned around and left, even using light-footed martial arts.

Seeing his swiftly disappearing figure, Qiao Xiaomai turned back to Shopkeeper Zhou, “Shopkeeper Zhou, I’m sorry for the scene.”
