FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Not Giving an Inch

Upon hearing Qiao Xiaomai’s words, Tong Xingda’s face hardened, “Xiaomai, you’re in the wrong. Just because your mother-in-law treats you like a treasure, do you think you can act like a young lady who has never lifted a finger to do any work?”

“My mother dotes on me, so I rightfully accept her love.” Qiao Xiaomai continued to smile.

Tong Xingda looked at her deeply after hearing her words, “But you’re not just a young miss now, you’re a daughter-in-law. You have more than just your parents to honor.”

“Didn’t I show filial respect? Didn’t I just give my father a thousand and six hundred taels of silver a few days ago? Father, you might as well ask around in Fangyuan Village and see which daughter-in-law would give her in-laws a thousand and six hundred taels of silver.”

Using filial piety as a threat, Qiao Xiaomai was really no longer afraid at this moment.

She had previously tolerated the Tong Family’s demands, partly out of respect for Tong Sanlang, and partly due to the broader social milieu she was in.

Emperor Yongan and the former emperor both advocated ruling the country through filial piety. The reason Emperor Yongan supported her decision to cut ties was because the Sun Family was too outrageous.

Could the behavior of the Tong Family compare to the bandit-like Sun Family?

Not yet.

It might not be nice to say that a mother-in-law asks her daughter-in-law for a dowry, but it happens.

Therefore, if she responds harshly without giving anything at all, she fears it would anger the former Emperor and Emperor Yongan.

Given the current environment, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. She had to give in, putting herself in a position of being the victim, like she did with the Sun Family. This way, if there are any future conflicts, the former Emperor and Emperor Yongan will definitely stand by her side.

Now that she had given, she was in the position of a victimized daughter-in-law who was endlessly exploited by the Tong Family.
