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

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Success, Splitting the Family!

“Don’t rush,” Tong Sanlang reassured her.

If they just directly exposed Zhang Family’s lies, even if he came to propose a marriage, why would Qiao Xiaomai agree?

Because he and Tong Tiehu had helped Qiao Xiaomai before?

This turn of events was obviously a bit abrupt.

“Our plan is to pretend to be helpless, and you should act clueless and unaware of the truth. But to reciprocate our previous help, you should reluctantly accept, even if you don’t want to.”

“We’ll publicize your selfless act of reciprocation, so that the whole village will know.”

“And I will explain the situation to my mother. As soon as you marry into our family, her illness should magically recover, and then we will separate households.”

Qiao Xiaomai blinked, understanding the plan.

Her previous refusal had led the situation to a standstill.

Zhang’s pretending to be sick is a way to break the stalemate. As a result, Tong Sanlang naturally comes to propose, and she naturally agrees.

However, because Tong Sanlang knows the truth, he will have a talk with Zhang. As soon as she marries into their family, they will separate households immediately.

After thinking a while, Qiao Xiaomai said, “What if they don’t separate? What if she changes her mind?”

“Then you return to your house and do not give them any silver. My mother is only after your silver. If you use silver to make her separate, she’ll agree.” Tong Sanlang said.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

It’s so complicated.

Why is it so difficult for her to get married?

Tong Sanlang patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry, reputation doesn’t mean much for you. As long as you don’t care about it, there’s no need to suffer even after the marriage.”

“What if she suppresses me with filial piety?”

“You just do as much as your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law do. If you truly disagree, she can’t control you.”

“Remember you said this, Tong Sanlang. That’s just the way I am. If I truly come into conflict with your mother, even though it may put you in a hard spot, I absolutely won’t suffer any unworthy grievances.” Qiao Xiaomai looked at him with slanting eyes.

“Do as your heart desires, you don’t have to worry about me.” Tong Sanlang took her hand.

At this moment, he sincerely prayed to all gods, hoping that his mother’s goal was only to go back to the life they used to have.

Early the next morning, Tong Sanlang went to Doctor Wu’s house under the pretense of getting medicine for Zhang. He returned looking furious not much later.

“Mother, have you been faking your illness?!” He clenched his fists, his black eyes full of anger, his lips tightly pressed together.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang was taken aback and initially denied it. When she could no longer avoid it, she had to admit, “Yes, I’ve been trying to make you propose. If you won’t, I’ll kill myself in front of you!”

Whether it was dying from illness or committing suicide, either way, she was using her death to threaten Tong Sanlang!

Tong Sanlang was genuinely heartbroken. After regaining his composure, he said, “I can propose, but there is one condition. As soon as Miss Qiao moves in, your illness must improve and we must separate households.”

“Why should I?!” Zhang became furious instantly upon hearing this.

“Because you’ve been lying to her! Once she realizes the truth after moving in, given her personality, she might pack her dowry and go home. What then? Don’t forget that His Highness, the Prince Wei, is her patron. If she complains to him that our family has deceived her, do you think His Highness will spare us?!”

“Once we’ve separated households and you don’t trouble her, even if she discovers the truth, as long as she’s treated well in our family, she might let it go.”

At the mention of Yang Ye, Zhang’s fury immediately died down.

She wanted to say that once Qiao Xiaomai married into the Tong Family, she would forever be a part of it. But considering Yang Ye’s influence, if he intervened to ask for a divorce, or even punished her, it would truly be a case of the hen failing to steal an egg and instead losing the rice she’d brought to feed it.

With this in mind, Zhang gritted her teeth and nodded, “Fine, as long as she marries into the family, my illness will magically recover, and we’ll immediately separate households!”

[Finally, the marriage is going to happen…]
