peasant girl wedding

Chapter 124
The Tong family's old house has now become the talk of the whole village after dinner.

It took only an hour for everyone to know about the old lady chasing her eldest daughter-in-law Lin in the peanut field and beating and cursing.

Notification Letter's family and Tong Zhide's family, Lan Huaniang, who had been visiting, also heard about such things.

"Ugh……"

The notification letter sighed, and Tong Zhide, who was opposite, was speechless.

The two gradually became silent.

Luo Shi and Fang Cuiwei, who were washing clothes in the yard, chatted.

"You said how can this old lady be so troublesome? I think she used to be quite a face-loving person, but now..."

Fang Cui fell silent.

She thought of Tong Duo'er and the others who earned money by selling candied fruit in the past, and her sister-in-law Lin was jealous and tried every means to get the money, and slandered her and the children in front of everyone.When the old lady found out about this, she even said that Mrs. Lin was talking nonsense, and defended her and the children in every way for the sake of the Tong family's face, and then almost divorced Mrs. Lin.

Who wants to now...

The change in this person is really too great!
"I can't figure out this reason..."

Roche said quietly.

In fact, the truth of the old lady is not so complicated.

The reputation of the Tong family is not very good, but when nothing goes wrong, the old lady naturally wants to maintain the reputation of the Tong family.But later, when the fourth child, Tong Zhixin, broke up with each other, Tong Zhi'er revealed that they had treated Fang Cuiwei's children harshly.Then Tong Zhixin's family made a lot of money selling mushrooms. They asked Tong Zhiming to take a share of the pie, but they were frightened.

Later, the Lin family picked up the elder Tong Zhiming and stole the glazed window from Tong Zhixin's house, and reported it to the magistrate's yamen.Immediately afterwards, Tong Cui'er ran away with the stolen money, and the Lin family swept up the entire Tong family like a thief. Tong Cui'er was sent to the Gao family as a concubine, and Tong Zhide insisted on using his life to force them to agree to split the family...

By now, the reputation of Tong's old house has long been rotten.

When anyone in the village mentions the old house of the Tong family, they disdain, ridicule, and sneer...

That being the case, the old lady is no longer concerned about the reputation and face of the Tong family's old house. Compared with so many excellent things before, it's just a sentence, "Look, I'm pretending again!"

So left and right, the old lady simply broke the jar, regardless of whether outsiders were joking or mocking, anyway, she did whatever she felt comfortable with.

Here Fang Cuiwei and Luo Shi were feeling emotional, and within a few days, they heard the news about Tong's old house again.

"What's the matter?" Fang Cui asked with a slight frown.

Tong Zhixin sighed, and said: "Zhao Jin ran away, my father was so angry that he was half dead, and because he was too tired to work, he fell ill, and there was no one to do the work in the old house..."

Fang Cuiwei burst into laughter, but considering Tong Zhixin's mood, she still managed to hold back.

"I don't know how father and mother are doing now?"

Tong Zhixin said quietly, but he didn't have the intention of going back to help them.

Not only because of the attitude of the old lady and old man Tong towards them before, but also because of the old lady's nitpicking, always thinking of people in the bad way.If they really went to the old house to help, they would definitely be regarded as having ulterior motives and coveting their family's peanuts.

One word summary: thankless work!

That being the case, of course Tong Zhixin wouldn't put a warm face on someone's cold ass.

However, Tong Zhide, who lives in a thatched cottage, has the opposite idea from Tong Zhixin.

Compared with Tong Zhixin, who was not liked by the old lady since he was a child, the relationship with the old lady is naturally a little weaker. Coupled with some random things later, it is even less emotional up.But Tong Zhide is different. He is the second son of the old lady and old man Tong. There was a famine in the village when he was a child. Already starved to death.

Later, he grew bigger and bigger, and the old lady's temper became worse every year. Later, those things happened in the family, considering that Tong Zhaoyin was going to marry a wife in the future, and considering his own wife, it was indeed the old lady Without blinking, he indicated that he would sell Tong Cui'er, which made him feel even more chilled, and separated the family.

However, this doesn't mean that if something happens between the old lady and old man Tong, he can ignore it.

Immediately, Tong Zhide yelled towards the door and called Luo Shi into the room.

"You also know what happened to your parents?" He asked.

Roche nodded.

Tong Zhide went on to say: "When the recruiter comes back in the evening, our family will discuss it and ask him to take a few days off. Let's help father and mother clean up the housework..."

Luo Shi was taken aback, but he couldn't hear what Tong Zhide said later.

Seeing that she was silent, Tong Zhide also stopped.

He tentatively said, "Daughter-in-law, did I make things difficult for you?"

What can Roche do?

She shook her head and said with a forced smile: "No, it's just that I was a little surprised. I'm afraid that we will be said by mother when we go to help parents."

Tong Zhide hesitated for a while, and then said: "Mother... probably can't."

When Tong Zhaoyin returned home in the evening, Luo Shi told him about it, thinking about the old lady's indifference and insisting that their family pay them three taels of silver every year, he immediately exploded.

"I'm not going!"

Why would you want to work for these heartless people?Is he stupid, or did he do such a thing because his forehead was pinched by the door panel!
Seeing that Tong Zhide's complexion was a bit ugly, Luo Shi quietly pushed Tong Zhaoyin's arm, and said in a low voice, "How did you talk to your father?"

Tong Zhaoyin was startled, and only then did he see Tong Zhide's expression.

After self-reflection, I took a slightly aggressive tone, bowed my head and apologized to Tong Zhide, "Father, my tone was wrong just now, I shouldn't have spoken to daddy like that."

Tong Zhide looked better now. , persuaded: "Zhaoyin, you also know that your grandfather and grandma have more than [-] acres of peanut land, and now your elder brother Zhaojin has also run away, your grandfather fell ill again, and the peanuts in the field have only been collected [-] acres. Yes, there are still fourteen acres left untouched. Seeing everyone working, we will go there for two days, help them pull peanuts, and carry them back to the old house, do you think this will work?"

Tong Zhaoyin bit her lip.

As a son, Tong Zhide is so considerate of the two old people, but if the old lady and old man Tong have the intention of treating them as a family, they will not have to force his father to lie on the bed with a broken head until now. Reluctantly go to the ground, and will not force myself to say "If you don't agree to split the family, I will die here too", let alone set the harsh conditions of paying three taels of silver every year.

Tong Zhide never forgets the kindness of his parents in raising children, and he understands that he needs to be the leader when something happens in the old house.

But he won't agree, won't agree to ask for leave to help these indifferent people who only think about themselves and don't care about them at all.

Not only will he not go back, he will not let his parents go.

"If you... or me and your mother, let's go alone."

Seeing Tong Zhaoyin not speaking for a long time, Tong Zhide spoke.

"No, dad, I won't go, and neither will you and mother."

Tong Zhide frowned.

Tong Zhaoyin continued: "Let's pay someone to help grandpa and grandma collect peanuts, but this money will also be included in next year's three taels of silver."

Seeing that Tong Zhide didn't immediately object, he continued, "According to Grandma's temperament, if we go to help because we have no land and no peanuts, she will definitely think in her heart that we are going to grab peanuts and money from her." When we go, Grandpa and Grandma will not let us help, maybe they will drive us out..."

"You milk her..."

Tong Zhaoyin said: "Father still doesn't understand Grandma's temperament? We spend money to invite people to go, and in front of outsiders, Grandpa and Grandma will show some kindness. Even if you don't believe them, you will not be able to see them when the time comes." They will go down to supervise the land together. In this way, the peanut land of the old house has been settled, and we can be regarded as helping indirectly, and this is counted in the wages of three taels of silver next year, and we should also pay for it."

"Zhaoyin...just do as you say."

After a long silence, finally got Tong Zhide's words, and Tong Zhaoyin happily responded, "Oh."

Luo Shi's eyebrows were also relaxed.

To be honest, after the family was separated, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the old lady and old man Tong anymore.

Tong Zhaoyin's method is really good, it is equivalent to dividing up the three taels of silver from the old couple, and others will say that they are good when they know about it.

If the old lady and old man Tong are unwilling...

Thinking of this, Luo Shi suddenly felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous.

Fourteen acres of peanuts are placed there, how could the old lady and old man Tong not want it?This is much more than the wages of hiring people!

The family reached a consensus. It was still early in the day, so Tong Zhaoyin left the house and went to someone else's house.

.........

The old Guo's family was cooling off in the courtyard at the moment, shaking their fans, and they brought Tong Zhaoyin, the second son of the Tong family, into the door.

"A rare guest, daughter-in-law, pour water!"

Lao Guo stood up from his chair, turned his head and said something to his wife, and then walked a few steps in the direction Tong Zhaoyin came from.

"Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, don't bother."

Tong Zhaoyin said in embarrassment.

Aunt Guo just smiled, and quickly poured him a bowl of water from the house.

Tong Zhaoyin was naturally the result of gratitude, and he drank all the water when he raised his head and grumbled.

This is the last family he invited to help Tong's old house harvest peanuts. Before that, he had gone to five families, all of which had relatively little peanut land, and the family worked together to clean up the peanuts from the peanut plants. A neat family.

"Uncle Guo, I'm here to ask you for a favor..."

　There will be another update at ten o'clock in the evening, thank you for your support.
