Chapter 860: Chapter 860: The Most Incompetent Candidate_1
“All the silver is clenched in your father’s hands, I can’t get a single copper coin!” Zhang Family couldn’t help but raise her voice, “Tell me, what have you brought to me after I raised you all these years?”
“Besides superficial glory, can you give me any actual benefit?”
Tong Sanlang looked at Zhang Family’s outstretched finger and lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the sorrow in his eyes.
In the end, he is still seen as a tool for making money.
Yes, as a child, it is his duty to provide for his parents, and he has always acknowledged that.
But the relationship has become so strained because of Zhang Family.
Why should she take it for granted to demand things from Qiao Xiaomai?
Even if that’s what she thinks, couldn’t she pretend to be gentle and nicer on the surface?
Even if she treats him like a money-making tool, does she have to be so blatant about it?
Really, with just a bit of pretense and nicer words, Qiao Xiaomai and his personality would willingly offer up their food, clothing, personal items, and silver.
Why does she have to be so blatantly greedy…
This attitude, it’s too heart-wrenching.
“I’m asking you a question! Speak up!”
Seeing that Tong Sanlang was not answering, Zhang Family couldn’t help but raise her finger and poke him again.
At this moment, she and Tong Sanlang were standing at the manor’s gate, and it wasn’t appropriate to speak of such things in front of Qiao Xiaomai, so she had to call Tong Sanlang over to the gate.
Her aim today was partly to get her hands on some silver, but also to avoid raising the suspicions of Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai as she frequently caused trouble.
In the past, she and Zhu Hongyun were always upset with Qiao Xiaomai and would stir up trouble from time to time. Now, it would be suspicious if they suddenly stopped causing disturbances for a long time.

So today, she came to make a token fuss.
If she could get some silver, great; if not, it didn’t matter, as long as she didn’t arouse the suspicions of Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang was unaware of his mother’s thoughts; he stepped back a few paces when poked by Zhang Family.
He looked up at Zhang Family and repeated the same line, “I don’t have any silver. We’ll talk about next year’s matters next year.”
Zhang Family glared at the Tong Sanlang in front of her, the pretense of anger almost turning into genuine fury.
No silver!
Look at how confidently he speaks.
A successful scholar, saying he has no money, all the silver tightly grasped in the hands of that wretched Qiao Xiaomai.
Tong Sanlang is useless, completely subdued by Qiao Xiaomai.
This daughter-in-law must be divorced, absolutely cannot be kept!
What a loss of face for Tong Sanlang! Which successful scholar lives such a pathetic life?
You won’t find another so pathetic in the whole of Daqi!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Family coldly asked, “Sanlang, I just want to ask you, if one day I get sick, old, and bedridden, unable to move, will you take care of me or not?”
“I will,” Tong Sanlang answered without any hesitation.
It was his duty to care for his parents until their final days.
“With what will you take care of me? With not a single copper coin in your hands, what will you use to take care of me?” Zhang Family asked coldly.
“By that time, I will have my own ways of earning money,” Tong Sanlang said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Family felt her anger ready to burst forth and set her ablaze. She raised her hand and fiercely poked Tong Sanlang several times, saying viciously, “You really are a disappointment, a good-for-nothing!”
With that, she turned and walked a few steps, leading the ox cart away.
But today, she had come for serious matters after all, so she shouted a few more words, “Don’t forget to go to Jiwei Residence for the wedding feast the day after tomorrow!”
“If you dare not to go, don’t call me mother for the rest of your life!”
