Chapter 1017: Situation_1

```

Holding this thought, Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi, the sisters, took the forty taels of silver they had saved and together boarded a carriage back to the village. When they reached the entrance to the village, the sisters got off and went to their own home while Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang continued on the carriage to the new residence.

After giving Tong Tiehu a sack of copper coins, they went to the old Tong family compound.

The two didn't go inside. Instead, they knocked on the door, and when a villager answered, they stood at the entrance and explained that they had come to provide for the elders. Then they counted out two hundred and forty taels of silver and asked the villager to deliver it to Tong Xingda.

Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family were locked up together, while Zhu Hongyun and Tong Erlang were confined together. All four stood inside the room, listening to Qiao Xiaomai's words, each of them seething with impotent rage.
