Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm - Chapter 486
Chapter 486: Chapter 486 I only live with Sanlang
Divide the family?
These two words caused everyone present to freeze in surprise.
Zhu Hongyun immediately protested, “I disagree!”
This was a joke.
She and her husband, Tong Erlang, could neither make vinegar nor read nor farm; they were basically incompetent. Moreover, they were neither the eldest nor the youngest, so Tong Xingda and Zhang Family would definitely not live with them.
If they were to split the family, she and Tong Erlang would certainly end up destitute!
And then there was the matter of Tong Sanlang about to take the local exams.
Though she had little faith in Tong Sanlang, what if by some stroke of luck he passed? Then he would be a scholar.
Scholars were exempt from taxes and were considered superior to the common people!
Why would she split the family with Tong Sanlang at this point? Absolutely Not!
Additionally, Tong Sanlang might marry Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai was one of two opportunities for the Tong family to rise again!
The other opportunity was to restore their former glory by relying on Tong Sanlang’s hunting skills after this period.
Therefore, no matter which of these reasons, each was closely tied to Tong Sanlang. She would definitely not split from him!
“Why don’t you agree?” Tong Tiehu looked at her.
“Because neither I nor Erlang currently have any survival skills. If you send us away, that’s tantamount to cutting off our means of living,” Zhu Hongyun declared defiantly, “Even if we split, it should be after Erlang and I learn how to farm.”
Tong Tiehu nodded and said, “You don’t need to worry about that. When I mentioned splitting, I only meant living separately. We only have ten acres of land in the family; it’s not feasible to divide it. We’ll still farm together in the future.”
“You don’t need to worry about not learning farming; I’ll teach you personally.”
Zhu Hongyun, “…What about meals?”
“We’ll handle them separately. Sanlang has to study, he always finishes work the fastest. Spending his time on household chores and cooking is a waste,” Tong Tiehu said, pointing to himself and Qian Family, “We two old folks will live with Sanlang. The rest of you move to the new residence.”
“No way!” As soon as Tong Tiehu finished speaking, Zhang Family who had remained silent till now, immediately spoke out in disagreement.
Her thoughts were the same as Zhu Hongyun’s. In the past few days, she had fully realized the value of her third son.
Whether they could return to the way they were depended entirely on Tong Sanlang.
As Tong Sanlang’s mother, how could she not live with him!
“I’m Sanlang’s mother, why should I move to the new residence?”
“When a family splits, they typically follow the eldest son,” Tong Tiehu said.
“The Qiao Family didn’t do that. Qiao Qinghe and Sun Family live with Sun Junyan!”
Tong Tiehu was speechless.
The situation was eerily similar to the Qiao Family’s division.
“We can split, but I must live with Sanlang!” Zhang Family said firmly with a resolute expression.
Tong Xingda fell silent for a moment and then glared at Tong Sanlang, “You little rascal, are you treating your mother and me like burdens?!”
Naturally, this question couldn’t be answered honestly.
Tong Sanlang shook his head, “No.”
“Then why do only your grandparents live with you?” Tong Xingda challenged.
“He’s giving Dalang an opportunity to show filial piety to you. Didn’t it used to be like this with you two living in the town with Dalang and his wife?” Tong Tiehu intervened.
“That was to take care of the vinegar shop’s business and the two children!”
“Now it’s the same, in any case, the vinegar shop will be opened at the new residence. By that time, Dalang’s family of four would have to move. Why don’t you and Xingda move together?” Tong Tiehu suggested.
“That was in the past. Now I’m growing old, I planned to live out my days with our youngest son, Sanlang,” Zhang Family stared at Tong Sanlang with a gaze and tone more resolute than before.
The smooth sailing of her later life depended wholly on Tong Sanlang!
Furthermore, out of her three sons, Tong Sanlang was the most obedient and filial one!
Of course, she was going to live with Tong Sanlang!
