Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai took Qiao Changshun to the doctor. After getting the injury checked and picking up the medicine, it was already noon when they were returning.
By this time, quite a few people had gathered at the entrance of the Qiao family house. Qiao Qinghe, Sun Junyan, Qiao Changfu, Zhu Cuiying, and Qiao Meipan were all present.
For a family dispute, Qiao Qinghe had to be present.
Today’s situation was caused by Sun Junyan, so naturally, he also had to be there.
When Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and Qiao Changshun returned, Qiao Qinghe was making a friendly face towards Tong Tiehu, while Sun Junyan was standing by the side without uttering a word.
Despite being very annoyed by the actions of the Sun family and Sun Junyan, Qiao Qinghe still did not want this kind of scandal to reach the County Town.
“Xiaomai is back,” Tong Tiehu pointed to the donkey cart at the street corner.
This matter was about Qiao Xiaomai as the victim, so he looked to her for her opinion.
Seeing this, Qiao Qinghe quickly went to greet them, looking anxious, “Xiaomai! Is your father alright?”
“He’s fine,” Qiao Xiaomai, sitting on the donkey cart and looking at the people at the door, had her small face tightly strained.
Qiao Changshun naturally saw Qiao Qinghe too. He had just applied herbal medicine to his leg and the pain had somewhat subsided, but the pain in his heart would not lessen.
He only glanced at Qiao Qinghe before lowering his head, his attitude very clear: if he really had to choose between the Sun family and Qiao Xiaomai, he would choose Qiao Xiaomai.
The Sun family had even resorted to kneeling down for the sake of Sun Junyan.
Being Xiaomai’s biological father, he naturally had to take a stand too.
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai’s stern face, Qiao Qinghe immediately felt disheartened.
Seeing Qiao Changshun lower his head, he was even more dispirited.
Is it possible that they will really take the Sun family to the County Town today?
Sun Junyan, who had been standing by and silent, clenched his teeth and said, “Father, you don’t need to persuade any more. To the County Town we go. At that time, we’ll see whose side the County Magistrate truly stands on!”
“Daqi Law” which he had read many times only stipulates the punishment for disobedience, there is no provision for unkindness.
As long as they insist that Qiao Changshun and Qiao Xiaomai are disobedient, then, in the end, only Qiao Changshun and Qiao Xiaomai would be punished.
“Shut up!” Qiao Qinghe sternly rebuked, “It was you who caused all this trouble. You should apologize to your second brother at once!”
“Father, I don’t understand. 1 have legitimate needs, how did they become trouble in your eyes?” Sun Junyan’s expression was gloomy as water.
The tri-annual exchange meeting, what a great opportunity!
This was his stepping stone to rise higher, why couldn’t even his own father understand him?
What’s wrong with using the family’s full resources to cultivate someone with status and position?
Yes, he had previously exploited Qiao Changshun’s family, and to an excessive degree. But he never thought about reneging on his duties.
Once he gained power and status, he would compensate!
Whether it was Qiao Changshun or his other three older brothers, he would compensate all of them.
Invest a little bit now and later get even more money and benefits, why couldn’t these people understand!
Sun Junyan’s righteous indignation made Qiao Qinghe hurt in his chest. He took a few deep breaths, ready to retort angrily when Tong Sanlang, who had walked over leading the donkey, spoke first.
“Sun Junyan, do you realize that your so-called legitimate needs forced your own mother to kneel in front of your second brother and niece?”
“A filial person would feel remorse upon seeing this. And what about you?”
“Initially, you made a mockery of your second brother’s family, now you’re making a mockery of your own mother.”
“For the sake of your legitimate needs you have pushed your mother to such a state, now she kneels for the sake of money, do you mean to kill for money next time?”
“Sun Junyan, you are the real unfilial one..”
