“You wretch, I’ll kill you today!” Sun Family’s member rushed towards Qiao Xiaomai like a cannonball, her expression fierce.
Qiao Xiaomai promptly said, “I’m off to find Uncle’s tutor in town now. If you aren’t afraid of Uncle complaining about you, then just make a fuss!”
Sun Family’s member was best at making a scene unreasonably, but she was not without a soft spot.
Iler vulnerability was Sun Junyan; she has always been hoping for Sun Junyan to pass the Imperial Examination. That way, she would be superior to others and not have to scratch a living from the land anymore.
Scholars valued their reputation highly, and now Qiao Xiaomai was going to ruin Sun Junyan’s reputation. From her point of view, this act was no different from hacking at Sun Junyan with a knife.
Sun Junyan had been nurtured by the entire Qiao Family for ten years. Qiao Xiaomai was going to end all of their hopes!
A shrill scream came from Sun Family’s throat as she charged even faster at Qiao Xiaomai.
With her overwhelming momentum, Qiao Xiaomai turned and ran.
Seeing Qiao Ying trying to get up from the corner of her eye, she stepped on Qiao Ying’s back, forcing her back to the ground.
Qiao Ying let out a scream, “You wretch…”
Qiao Xiaomai didn’t bother to engage her, only keeping an eye on Sun Family’s member.
Seeing her chasing, she continued to run.
At this time, Qiao Changshun who was grinding soy milk in the kitchen came out. Seeing the situation between Qiao Xiaomai and Sun Family, he rubbed his hands together and kept silent.
Seeing this, Qiao Changfu scowled and reprimanded. “Changshun, did you hear Xiaomai’s words? Daring to target Junyan, look at your good daughter! Call her over now!”
Qiao Changshun bowed his head and did not utter a word, as if he hadn’t heard Qiao Changfu’s words.
As Zhu Cuiying lay on the wooden board, she was moaning softly in pain and cursing, “This damn girl is rebellious. You, the head of the family, go and catch her. If she doesn’t get beaten to within an inch of her life today, who knows what she might do in the future!”
“Alright, I’m going now!” Qiao Changfu also cursed and strode towards Qiao Xiaomai.
On seeing this, Qiao Changshun hurriedly lifted his head. “Big brother, Xiaomai is just talking nonsense, you…”
“Shut up!” Qiao Changfu turned back and glared at him, “You can’t even control your own daughter. No wonder your sister would run away with a stranger. What use are you as a father!”
At these words, Qiao Changshun’s chapped lips opened and closed.
He bowed his head again, staying silent.
By this time, Sun Family’s member had chased Qiao Xiaomai around the bend and onto the main road leading out of Anping Village. Qiao Xiaomai was running with her head down, while Sun Family’s member was chasing and cursing behind her, “Stand still, you brat! I’ll kill you today!”
Qiao Xiaomai kept quiet but was always keeping an eye on Sun Family’s member.
If she got tired and stopped chasing, and instead went to find trouble with Qiao Changshun, Xiaomai would have to go back to save him.
But right now, Sun Family’s member was so blinded by anger that all she could think of was catching Qiao Xiaomai and beating her to death. Tired?
She felt an endless burst of energy in her body!
“Stop, you little brat!”
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes and kept running. Seeing that Qiao Changfu had also caught up, she slightly increased her pace, putting some distance between her and Sun Family’s member.
“Changfu, run faster and catch her!” Upon seeing this, Sun Family’s member was so angry that she sputtered.
With a long face, Qiao Changfu sprang into action to chase Qiao Xiaomai, kicking up clouds of dust.
So a somewhat comical scene unfolded on the main road leading out of Anping Village: Qiao Xiaomai was running, Qiao Changfu was chasing, and Sun Family’s member trailed behind, cursing and swearing..
