Chapter 261: Go Help Your Grandma Up
Upon hearing this woman’s voice, Tong Sanlang rose to his feet immediately. “Your Highness, I’m going out to take a look.”
“What’s happening?” Yang Yefeng shook fearfully.
“It’s a long story.”
“Your Highness, allow me to go and see as well.” Tong Tiehu also stood up.
In the whole of Anping Village, only he could control the Sun Family.
“Go ahead, go ahead.” Seeing the grandfather and grandson pair looking grave, Yang Ye gestured dismissively. Though he too stood and took a few steps towards the window, intending to watch the scene.
Outside, the cries of the Sun Family member continued. She knelt outside the shed, facing Xiaomai and tearfully beseeched, her wrinkled face streaked with tears.
“Xiaomai, 1 realize my mistake now. Please give me another chance. 1 won’t dare again. I’ll treat you well from now on, please give me one more chance!” Accompanying her plea, she began to kowtow in Xiaomai’s direction.
The courtyard of the Tong Family was paved with green bricks. As she kowtowed, her forehead clashing against the bricks filled the air with dull thuds.
In a few moments, blood appeared on her forehead.
Tears and mucus were everywhere, fresh blood on her forehead. This pitiful sight was more than enough to soften anyone’s heart.
Indeed, soften hearts.
In the past, Sun Family had committed many horrific deeds, which had pushed Changsun’s family to the brink of survival.
Rummaging through their house and stealing their belongings like a bandit – Only the Sun Family could commit such acts in the vicinity of the neighbouring eight villages.
Moreover, in order to curry favor with the Tong Family, Sun Family had even slandered Tong Sanlang. The very sight of Tong Sanlang being publicly humiliated to strip his trousers had pushed Anping village’s most outstanding young man to shame. He wished he could simply vanish into the earth.
Was the Sun Family despicable?
Despicable.
Any sane person would find Sun Family’s behavior reprehensible and loathsome.
Therefore, when Sun Family was nearly beaten to death and driven out of the village, no one came to her defense.
Housing such people was indeed a stain on Anping Village’s reputation. It was an instance of one bad apple spoiling the bunch.
However, now seems like the Sun Family has met its harsh fate.
Driven to live in a grass shed in the fields, Sun Junyan’s farmlands were also occupied by Qiao Changfu, Qiao Chang’an, and Qiao Changkang.
The mother and son were living a pitiful life in a hut amidst the vast wilderness, a sight nothing short of despair.
Although people despised Sun Family’s downfall, they did not hold much emotion other than that.
But now it’s different.
Qiao Changshun owned hundreds of acres of fertile land, making him the richest man in Anping Village.
The man who was previously living in extreme poverty had shot up to become the richest in Anping Village.
For others to not feel envious or jealous would be a lie.
Therefore, the current situation presented a pitiful Sun Family against Anping Village’s wealthiest.
As the Sun Family wept a river of tears, the richest man maintained his calm composure.
A tinge of sympathy, coupled with an undefined sense of jealousy toward the wealthy, led many present to side with the Sun Family.
Sun Family, being Xiaomai’s biological grandmother and Changshun’s mother, had committed numerous mistakes in the past. Yet now, she had received her due punishment.
Now she realised the error of her ways.
Family, blood relations – Even if the County Magistrate were to break the ties, could he sever the bond of blood?
He can’t!
That’s why Xiaomai’s behavior was too harsh. As the owner of vast fertile land, how could he just watch his grandmother live in a grass hut in the middle of a field?
Even if there are grudges, can’t a small concession be made like others?
A small concession would be enough for Sun Family to live comfortably.
“Xiaomai, go help your grandma up quickly.” Immediately, someone by the shed started speaking..
