Gossipy woman.
The term made Zhu Hongyun’s face turn red, “Grandfather, I am your granddaughter – in – law!”
“What of being a granddaughter-in-law? Can you treat my words as if they are nonsense?!” Tong Tiehu spoke unabashedly, his face tightly drawn, “Cut your connections with the Changfu household! Look at what you’ve learned from them!”
“Grandfather…” Tong Erlang saw tears welling up in Zhu Hongyun’s eyes and couldn’t help pleading for her, “Hongyun was speaking the truth, whether it’s about filial piety or elopement, the Qiao Family was originally…”
“Shut up!” Tong Tiehu immediately directed his anger at him, “A grown man, gossiping like a woman, it’s disgraceful! Additionally, blindly following the crowd without knowing the full story, did a pig eat your brain?!”
Tong Erlang”…”
Angry, he threw down the chopsticks and the steamed bun in his hand onto the table and abruptly stood up, “I’m not eating anymore.”
To stand up for the Qiao Family, who had become the village’s joke, and bully him, his own grandson, he’s so mad he could die!
Tong Tiehu stared at the half-eaten steamed bun, his rage flaring up even more, “Sanlang, take your second brother back to his room! Tomorrow, supervise him and his wife as they weed the wheat field. From tomorrow until the wheat harvest ends, they’re not allowed to slack off!”
Upon hearing these words, Tong Erlang, whose face was still clouded by anger, was suddenly stunned. He cried out in disbelief, “Grandfather!”
Mrs. Qian looked at Tong Tiehu and tried to persuade him, “My husband, we have day laborers to work our land, there’s no need for Erlang to do it.”
Not only did the Tong Family own a vinegar shop in the town, but they also had over a hundred acres of farmland. It made them small landlords.
With so much farmland, the Tong Family couldn’t manage it all on their own, hence they hired people to work the fields.
However, over the recent years, the Tong Family had become well off. So now, the Tong Family members only managed the hired workers, not entering the fields themselves.
But Tong Erlang had been lazy since childhood, and had almost never worked in the fields.
Without having worked hard in the fields and broken the sweat, he naturally did not value the food. Moreover, since he had sided with Zhu Hongyun, Tong Tiehu had established this disciplinary measure.
“Such a big man, loafing around all day, even participating in womanly gossip. If he isn’t corrected, who knows what he’ll turn into! No need to convince me, I’ve made up my mind. Sanlang, take your brother back to his room.”
Tong Sanlang stood up, extended his long arm, grabbed Tong Erlang’s shoulder, and advised him, “Second Brother, go back to your room first, Grandfather is in a rage.”
Hearing this, Tong Erlang, who initially wanted to resist, grunted harshly and with a sullen face, went back to his room.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongyun’s teary eyes finally overflowed, she grabbed a steamed bun, and quickly followed him.
Tong Tiehu watched the couple’s retreating figures, and instructed Tong Sanlang, “First thing tomorrow morning, watch them as they work in the field. Show no mercy.”
Tong Sanlang nodded in agreement.
“Alright, sit down and continue eating.” Tong Tiehu beckoned him, “The tofu that Xiaomai made tastes pretty good, suitable for someone my age.”
Soft and flavorful.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qian voiced her displeasure, “She gave so many things, obviously trying to curry favor with our family, hoping to latch onto us. That whole family of hers is full of degenerates. Sanlang, stay away from them in the future.”
She didn’t dare to say these words directly to Tong Tiehu, so she only warned Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang agreed, picked up his chopsticks, and reached for the tofu again.
Tong Tiehu glanced at Mrs. Qian and looked at Tong Sanlang, “Tomorrow afternoon, go up the mountain to check if there’s any game in the traps. If there is, take it to the town to sell.”
“Alright.” Tong Sanlang nodded..
