Chapter 549: Can You Rebel Against Your Mother?
With Zhang Family finally deciding to separate, Tong Sang felt relieved and immediately went to the Qiao Family to propose marriage.
Of course, he was still carrying the golden step shake and the piece of cloth as gift.
Qiao Changshun was at home at the time. Tong Sang set down his belongings, his voice and expressions extremely grave as he proceeded to discuss the necessity of marrying into Zhang Family to bring them good fortune.
Before Qiao Xiaomai could even respond, Qiao Changshun tly rejected him, “No, no, no.”
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sang immediately turned their attention to him.
Qiao Changshun nervously rubbed hisrge hands together, exining, “Sang, although I quite like you, Xiaomai absolutely cannot marry you under the pretext of bringing good luck. What if she marries into your family and your mother’s health still doesn’t improve? That will harm her reputation.”@@novelbin@@
To be honest, Qiao Changshun hade to a realization during this period. Of all the people he knew, Tong Sang was the most outstanding. Therefore, he had wished for Qiao Xiaomai to marry him.
But ever since the students from Bailu Academy had been invited for dinner, his opinion had changed.
Although those students couldn’tpare to Tong Sang in terms of looks or vitality, their families were well-off and none of them had a domineering mother like Zhang Family.
After all, even without those students, there was still Yang Ye.<div>
Observing Yang Ye’s usual amiable attitude towards Xiaomai, if he exerted a little effort, couldn’t Xiaomai possibly be a concubine, or even the main wife?
So, given Xiaomai’s limitless prospects, there was no need for her to fixate on Tong Sang.
Although Tong Sang was a good choice, he was surrounded by rotten trees. Qiao Changshun did not want Xiaomai to suffer after marriage.
Hearing Qiao Changshun’s words, Tong Sang contemted for a while before responding, “Uncle Changshun, indeed this situation is unfair to Xiaomai. I can ask my grandfather to announce in front of the whole vige, that regardless of whether my mother lives or dies, it has nothing to do with Xiaomai.”
Huh?
Live or die?
As these words hung in the air, Qiao Changshun was taken aback, his mind starting to whirl quickly.
Well, considering that Ms. Zhang was now so seriously ill that she needed good luck, if she ended up dying, Xiaomai would no longer have a mother-inw.
No mother-inw…
That would be a joyous thing, a great joy indeed!
Xiaomai wouldn’t have to worry about conflicts with her mother-inw then!
Tong Sang unaware of Qiao Changshun’s thoughts, continued his pleas, seeing as Qiao Changshun remained silent, “Uncle Changshun, I’m sure my mother misunderstood Xiaomai before. Rest assured, once my mother recovers, the Tong Family will separate.”
“I will do everything in my power to protect Xiaomai, and I will not let her suffer.”
Separate?
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun finally turned his gaze onto Tong Sang.
That’s a good thing to say. If Ms. Zhang dies, well, she’s dead. But if she doesn’t, then they’ll separate.
This proposition indeed seems to be in Xiaomai’s favor.
However, recalling his own experiences dealing with Sun Family after separating, he immediately furrowed his previously rxed eyebrows, “Sang, you see, separation doesn’t necessarily solve all problems. Look at what happened to my family.”
At these words, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sang exchanged nces.<div>
They thought Qiao Changshun was quietly epting the situation, who would have known he had so many thoughts?
“Uncle Changshun, rest assured, I will not allow what happened in your house to ur in mine,” Tong Sang promised earnestly.
“Oh? Can you disobey your mother?” Qiao Changshun asked.
“I can!” Tong Sang answered resolutely.<div>
He was obedient to his parents, but he wasn’t foolishly so.
“Then return home for now, let Xiaomai and me think it over,” Qiao Changshun waved his hand to dismiss him.
