Chapter 605: 605: If not for Birth, Aging, Sickness, and Death

Tong Sanlang quickly returned to his own room and saw Qiao Xiaomai sitting under the lamp, flipping through his books. He took a deep breath, “Xiaomai, get me one thousand and six hundred taels of silver.”

As Qiao Xiaomai saw him enter, she was about to close the book, but when she heard his words, she looked up in surprise, “What’s going on?”

Seeing Tong Sanlang’s ashen face, she quickly stood up, grabbed his arm, and asked concerningly, “What happened?”

“Mother’s talking nonsense, I can’t tolerate it anymore, I want to give silver to mother, and we’ll separate our households tomorrow.” Tong Sanlang softened his voice, not wanting his terrible mood to affect Qiao Xiaomai.

Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes widened. She was curious about what nonsensical thing the Zhang Family had said, but seeing Tong Sanlang’s face, she held back her curiosity. She hurriedly retrieved a stack of silver notes from the void, counted out sixteen, and handed them to Tong Sanlang.

“Wait here.” Tong Sanlang left these two words and walked out of the room with the banknotes.

The Zhang Family had also returned to the courtyard and was standing at the kitchen door with a gloomy face.

Tong Sanlang strode over and handed the silver notes to her, “Mother, here are the one thousand and six hundred taels of silver you asked for. From now on, unless it is a matter of life or death, do not come to find me.”

Unless it’s a matter of life or death, don’t come to find me.

The Zhang Family froze at these words.

In her memory, although this younger son seemed difficult to approach, he was actually gentle and obedient. When she had threatened him to marry Qiao Xiaomai, he was angry, but he didn’t say anything harsh and obediently went.

But she never expected that he would say such ruthless words now.

Not to find him unless it’s life or death is equivalent to severing the mother-son relationship.

Looking at Tong Sanlang’s ashen face, the Zhang Family felt a chill in her heart. Those with good tempers could be terrifying when they became angry, especially after her words thoroughly angered Tong Sanlang.

But she soon became angry again, her words were harsh, but who was she doing it for?

She was doing it for this younger son in front of her!

She didn’t want her son to be cuckolded and not know it!

She wasn’t trying to sow discord, she was concerned about Tong Sanlang!

Doing a good deed and being treated like a villain, and now he’s angry enough to sever the relationship.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This move of severing relationships must have been learned from Qiao Xiaomai. Who in the whole area has severed a family relationship?

She’d only had a good son for a few days, and now he dared to talk to her like this!

Thinking about this, the Zhang Family raised her hand and slapped Tong Sanlang fiercely, “You fool! Who was I saying those words for? Isn’t it for your own good?”

“Have you grown a fat guts? Daring to sever ties with me, who taught you these rotten tactics? I raised you all these years, is this how you repay me by breaking off relations?”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, complaining that the slap didn’t hurt enough, she caught a glimpse of the dry firewood stacked under the eaves of the kitchen, immediately pulled out a stick as thick as a baby’s arm, and viciously hit Tong Sanlang, “You ungrateful son, I raised you from diapers to adulthood, and you haven’t shown an ounce of respect. After only a few days of being married, you want to sever ties with me? Dare to say such things, I’ll beat you to death!”

Tong Sanlang stood still, allowing the Zhang Family’s slaps and sticks to fall on him. His back was straight, his handsome face gloomy, and his heart felt as though it had sunk into an ice cellar, completely cold.
