Chapter 169 Rumors
Facing the children's kindness, Tong Zhi'er smiled gratefully.

"Give."

The pot was the first child to take the candied fruit. After he took the candied fruit, the friends behind him did it.

"Ah, this candied fruit is salty." Someone said in surprise.

"Salty? Candied fruit and salty?"

The boys were a little restless.

One by one, they stuffed the candied fruit in their hands into their mouths.

"No, mine is sweet."

"Oh, this is too boring."

The little friends ate a flavor they didn't like, and their cute buns wrinkled into bitter gourds.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all had ideas in their hearts.

"Let's exchange."

Now, everyone is satisfied.

Everyone was very happy to eat, their cheeks were bulging, they looked like a round groundhog, Tong Zhi'er looked happy physically and mentally, with a happy smile, Tong Zhu'er, Fang Ruyan and Lanhua looked at it My heart is also happy.

The bear kids don't only think about their own foodies, their parents are also grateful for their kindness and keep it in their hearts.Everyone left a lot of candied fruit and planned to go home to honor their parents.

So on the second day, Tong Zhi'er's family welcomed people from the village every now and then.

"Zhi'er, your candied fruit is really delicious, do you have any more? Give me two catties."

"Oh, it's lucky that my brat still has my mother in his heart, so he brought candied fruit back. However, I'm not a sweet tooth, so it goes without saying candied fruit. Who would have thought, the brat said, this candied fruit is Salty. I tasted it, and it really was, and the more I ate it, the more it tasted better, but in the end, it was gone in my hand. This is what I was thinking... Zhier, you should leave me more salty ones Candied fruit."

Not to mention the reason the county magistrate made up to accept her shop, it was their kindness, and Tong Zhi'er's family was grateful for it.

A friend in adversity sees the truth, and adversity sees people's hearts.

This statement is true!

Tong Zhi'er had a bright smile on his face, "Aunts, if you want to eat, of course I have some. We are all from the same village. I will give you half the price."

Tong Zhu'er took everyone's candied fruit in the bag, Tong Zhi'er brought tea and water to the waiting people, Fang Cuiwei took the scale and weighed it.

Although everyone didn't buy much, the least one catty and the most three catties, on average, it was only five taels per catty.However, there are many people and strength is great, and at night, all the prepared candied fruit are sold out.

The money they earned from selling candied fruit this year was not much, and they lost less than a dime because they offended the lady of the Duke's Mansion. However, this was the happiest moment for Tong Zhi'er's family.

The speed and efficiency of Fang Dalin's work has always been very high.What's more, this time, Xinjia suffered a major setback, and he worked harder and harder.

In just ten days, he used the money given to him by Tong Zhixin to purchase about a hundred acres of land in the name of Tong Zhide.

These one hundred acres of land are all first-class good fields, close to home, and the land is fertile.

Twenty or so mu were bought in the village, and the remaining [-] or so mu were bought in a neighboring village separated from them by a line.

"Fourth brother, here."

Immediately, Tong Zhide handed over the title deed to Tong Zhixin.

Tong Zhi refused to accept the letter, "Second brother, it's the same with you."

"But fourth brother..."

"Second brother, I believe in you."

Seeing Tong Zhixin's unreserved trust in his eyes, Tong Zhide stopped insisting and kept the land deed.

Anyway, he remembered that this was the land of the fourth brother's family.

In the days that followed, Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhide, and Tong Chaoyin led the oxen and carried the plow, and reorganized the one hundred mu of land, together with Tong Zhide's own ten mu of land.

Tong Zhi'er and others were not idle as they prepared for the opening of the grocery store in Qingzhou.

After Tong Zhixin and the three plowed half of the land, the young farmers in the village also started to prepare the land.

After all, there is only one ox and one plow in the village that are shared by the village chief's family, and whoever owns it depends on the size of the family's land.

Thinking that Tong Zhixin's family also bought a cow and a plow, someone came to Tong Zhixin's house to borrow them.

Tong Zhixin did not refuse, and generously lent the ox and plow.

Anyway, they have already plowed half of the land, and when the peanuts are planted and the ox and plow are returned, they can start plowing the rest of the land.

During lunch, Tong Zhixin told Fang Cuiwei and others about it.

Several people have no objection to this. Tong Zhixin is the head of the family, and this matter is easy, and his family's farm work has not been delayed.

The days of planting peanuts began in the past few days, so Tong Zhixin led Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhier, and Tong Zhuer, Tong Zhide led Luo Shi, Tong Zhaoyin, and took the peanut picking and harvesting last year. With a shovel, water pot, and bowl in hand, he went to the field.

Tong Duo'er and Zhou Yuniang cook at home, and then send them to the field at noon.

The village where Tong Zhi'er lives has been a simple and honest village from generation to generation. Although there are quarrels and fights, no one really does evil things.

However, on that day, when Tong Zhixin and others had been planting peanuts for nearly ten days, a particularly bad event happened.

I don't know where a hooligan came from, and secretly followed Zhou Yunniang and Tong Duo'er. If Dong Ping hadn't appeared in time, both of them would have been caught by the hooligan!

Tong Zhaoyin was furious.

Dong Ping, who has always been good-tempered, was also furious.

It was Tong Zhide, Tong Zhixin, Luo Shi and Fang Cuiwei who were furious.

Tong Zhi'er's third sibling was filled with righteous indignation.

It's about Zhou Yunniang and Tong Duo'er's reputation, this matter is not publicized, but just let that hooligan go, from Tong Zhixin to Tong Zhaofu, they will not agree!
Especially Dong Ping and Tong Zhaoyin.

From this weather, Zhou Yunniang and Tong Duo'er did not deliver to Tong Zhixin and the others after they cooked the meal, but asked them to go home and eat by themselves, and then the two of them locked the door tightly.

Tong Zhaoyin planted peanuts with everyone during the day, while Dong Ping secretly inquired and observed the hiding place of the stinky hooligan.

After three days like this, there is a clue.

On a dark and windy night for a month, Tong Zhaoyin and Dong Ping carried the sack, followed by three little tails. After Tong Zhaoyin put the black sack on the gangster's head, Dong Ping swung his elbow and slapped him hard. He punches.Tong Zhaoyin raised his leg and kicked back hard, and the hooligan whose head was covered by the sack was kicked to the ground.

Tong Zhi'er waited for the three little tails, and immediately greeted the hooligan with fists and feet that had been brushed up a long time ago.

After a while, several people were exhausted to relieve their anger.

On the second day, when Tong Zhixin and others were planting peanuts, they heard someone whispering bad things about Tong Duo'er and Zhou Yunniang.

"The Tong family is really pitiful. It doesn't matter if the shop is confiscated, the property is confiscated, but the daughter and daughter-in-law have been ruined!"

"Ah, what waste are you talking about?"

"Isn't there a ruffian in the village next door? He spends his days idle, doing nothing, and just knows how to play tricks. With the dowry of her daughter-in-law, Tong Zhide's family bought more than a hundred acres of land, most of which They are all in the neighboring village, when Tong Duoer and Zhou Yunniang were delivering food to them, they fell in love with that scoundrel, hey..."

"It's so pitiful..."

"..."

Hearing these words, the Tong family members were all furious.

He stopped planting peanuts, and ran over and said loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you believe what that local ruffian says?"

Unexpectedly, the eight hexagrams could be heard by the master, both of them felt a little helpless, they kept their mouths shut and said nothing.

Seeing them like that, Tong Zhixin and the others were even more furious.

"Father, mother, fourth uncle, fourth aunt, you continue to farm, I will go to Dong Ping."

Tong Zhaoyin put down the shovel and wanted to leave angrily.

"Hmph, we won't spare him if he dares to speak ill of Duo'er and Yunniang."

Tong Zhixin also put down the shovel.

Then Tong Zhide, Luo Shi, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhier...

"Father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, before we deal with this rascal, we must first let him speak in front of the big guy, and we can't let the people in the village make arrangements for the elder sister and the cousin." Tong Zhi'er stepped forward, Said to several people.

"That branch, what do you say?"

Tong Zhi'er narrowed his eyes.

……

"Let me tell you, you are truly blessed. Tong Duo'er and Zhou Yunniang are among the best in terms of beauty."

"That's it. Only I don't like it, and I can't do it if I don't."

A few men dressed like dogs squatted together, muttering, and laughing obscenely from time to time.

Suddenly, several people caught a man in a gray coat, and the others immediately became alert when they saw this.Seeing that it was Tong Zhixin and others, knowing that they were looking for trouble from the hooligans, they ran away without a trace.

Tong Zhaoyin pressed the gangster's chin vigorously and pried his mouth open.

Dong Ping immediately threw a pill into it.

The man grunted and swallowed it carelessly.

Tong Zhaoyin pushed him hard, expressionless.

"What did you eat for me?" This group of people came aggressively, and it must have been something good for him.

Dong Ping opened his mouth, eyes full of anger, "Poison."

"Ah... please forgive me, I don't dare to do it again." The hooligan knelt on the ground with a thud, and kept kowtowing to several people.

Tong Zhaoyin kicked him hard, "I told you to talk nonsense!"

"Grandpa, please spare me, the little one won't die, the little one swears to God...the little one doesn't want to die yet..."

"Go, you say in front of the whole village that you have never met Tong Duo'er and Zhou Yunniang, and you have nothing like that."

"Yes, yes, little one understands."

……

An hour passed.

The hooligan ran away from the contempt, hatred, and disdainful eyes of the whole village and came to Dong Ping's house.

"Master, I have already followed your order, this antidote..."

Dong Ping threw a bottle over.
