Chapter 18 Guilty
They were all afraid that Lao Tong's house was a bottomless pit, and the things thrown into it would not hear the sound.

"This..." Tong Liangji was a little embarrassed.

"Let's do this. After a while, I'll ask the fourth daughter-in-law to tell you how to eat these." Mr. Tong said lightly, took Tong Annian's hand and went back.

Tong Zhengye and Tong Zhengjie also followed back. The sweet potatoes had already been dug up. How Tong Liangji divided them was his business. Whoever was more and who was less, who was unwilling, had nothing to do with them.

When they got home, Mr. Tong asked Tong Zhengyang and the others to bring out two sacks of sweet potatoes and put them in the kitchen. He also kept everyone silent and could not tell the location of the cellar at home.

The others, Tong Annian, were not worried. She put her eyes on Zhao Cuifen, and felt Tong Anian's gaze, and her heart trembled suddenly.

For some reason, every time Tong Annian looked at her, she felt like she had been seen through.

This time, she also wanted to secretly take out some sweet potatoes and send them back to her mother's house when there was no one at home.

They had something to eat, but her natal family was still hungry, but Tong Annian's eyes made her a little guilty.

After distributing all the sweet potatoes, Tong Liangji and Tong Chunsheng came with some sweet potatoes.

"Uncle Yongzhi, these are your sweet potatoes." Tong Liangji put the sweet potatoes on the ground and looked at Mr. Tong's family with a smile.

The sweet potatoes have been divided, and the whole family has divided a lot. Each family has some coarse grains. With these sweet potatoes, we can survive this winter.

Moreover, it has just entered autumn, and during this period of time, it is enough for every household to go up the mountain to collect some things.

Although, it is not as good as those rich places, but it is much luckier than those villages that lack food.

"Take these back, we really have them at home." Mr. Tong took Tong Liangji and the others to the kitchen, and opened the two sacks in the kitchen to show them.

Only then did Tong Liangji heave a sigh of relief. It turned out that their family really dug up two sacks, which was fine, lest the people in the village survived and their family did not have enough food.

"Uncle, we didn't bring much. According to what you said, we distributed some of your share to the widowed and lonely old people in the village. The rest should belong to your family."

Even though he knew that Mr. Tong's family had food in stock, Tong Liangji still didn't think about taking these sweet potatoes away. Mr. Tong and the others deserved these, and they couldn't do too much.

"Then stay, thanks for your hard work, village chief." Mr. Tong thought for a while, and then accepted.

"It's not hard, uncle, if there is something at home in the future, you can send someone to call me, and we will go back first."

Tong Liangji and Tong Chunsheng said a few words to Mr. Tong, and then left. Looking at the remaining sweet potatoes, Mrs. Tong had other plans.

"Each of you took more than a dozen catties and sent them back to your natal family. Although this is not a rare item, it can still be eaten by them for a while."

Old Madam Tong looked at her daughters-in-law. They didn't expect that Madam Tong would let them take them back to their natal family, and they were all overjoyed.

Mrs. Tong was not partial, and everyone shared the same amount, even the sweet potato seedlings were packed for each of them.

Song Yu and the others were happy, and Tong Anian was naturally happy too. Only a trace of loneliness flashed across Ning Qingqiu's eyes, which was clearly seen by Tong Anian.

The people who returned to her natal family did not include her own mother. Tong Anian didn't know why. According to the memory of the original owner, Ning Qingqiu never mentioned her natal family.

Only on some rare days, she could vaguely see Ning Qingqiu wiping tears in Tong Zhengyang's arms.

"Zero, do you know what's going on?" Tong Anian didn't dare to ask Ning Qingqiu directly, so he could only ask Ling. Zero is the system, maybe it can know something.
