peasant girl wedding

Chapter 4 Black and White
Even though Tong Zhixin was worried about Fang Cuiwei in his heart, but the old man Tong said something, he couldn't leave. He immediately gave a low order to his second daughter and youngest son, and told them to go back.

The two returned home quickly, found the money jar under the bed as Tong Zhixin said, took two copper coins, and went to the old doctor's house to buy a bottle of ointment for reducing swelling.

At this time, Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er, who went outside to hunt pigweed, also came back. When Tong Zhaofu saw the two sisters, he told them about the main house.

Both sisters were in tears.

Seeing that they were anxious, Tong Zhi'er followed Tong Zhaofu's words and told what happened later. Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er stopped crying, went to the vegetable field to chop a cabbage, pulled a radish and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner .

It was getting dark, but Fang Cuiwei still didn't come back.

The four siblings discussed it and decided to go to the main house together to have a look.

Entering the courtyard of the main house, the door of the main house is closed, but candles are lit in the house, and light shines through the rhombic panes, illuminating certain parts of the courtyard.

Listening to the sound of wringing out the clothes, Tongduo, Tongerzhi, Tongzhuer and Tong Zhaofu touched Fang Cuiwei.

In the faint light, she hunched her back, and the sound of rubbing clothes was clear and loud in the night.Tong Zhi'er could vaguely see that the mountain of clothes that had been piled up during the day had disappeared.

After hanging the last piece of clothes, Fang Cuiwei turned around and saw four small figures of uneven height looking at her motionlessly.

"How long have you been here?" She took a step forward, but her body was staggering.

Tong Duo'er and her siblings hurried over to support her. Their small bodies supported her back, waist, and legs. Fang Cuiwei stood still so that she would not press them down. tears.

"Mother, does your face still hurt?" Tong Duoer asked.

In the darkness, Tongzhi's children Zhu's children Zhaofu also looked at Fang Cuiwei's face.

Fang Cui shook her head with a smile, "It doesn't hurt anymore, let's go, let's go home."

"Well, mother, my second sister and I bought ointment, and the old doctor said that after rubbing it on for two days, the swelling will go away."

Fang Cui slightly patted his youngest son's head, then Tong Zhi'er, but said nothing.

A few people walked towards the east house in the dark, and when Tong Zhi'er came, he deliberately told them that they must walk slowly later, so when they came out, they didn't light up the lanterns.

At this time, there was a dog barking from the gate.

Tong Zhi'er's siblings were overjoyed that their father had returned.

Sure enough, after a while, there was only a burst of hurried footsteps, and Tong Zhixin was already approaching.

"You..." Under the faint moonlight, Tong Zhixin looked at Fang Cui's slightly swollen face in horror, and his heart ached terribly.

How could my mother be so ruthless?

Tong Zhixin was already disappointed in her mother after Tong Zhi'er got sick and had a fever, and Mrs. Tong didn't invite a doctor to come and see her. Now seeing how her daughter-in-law suffered when she went to the main house to wash clothes, she was even more disappointed with Mrs. Tong.

He grabbed Fang Cuiwei's hand and quickly walked towards the main house amidst her exclamation.Tong Duo, Tong Tong, Tong Tong Zhu'er, and Tong Zhaofu followed quickly on their calves.

In the main house, Old Man Tong is reprimanding Mrs. Tong.

He slapped the table and shouted, "Tell me, what are you doing?"

Old lady Tong's eyes twitched, and she thought to herself why old man Tong seemed to know something.Immediately, she lay down on the table and burst into tears, "Old man, you don't know, the fourth daughter-in-law is too dark-hearted. A few days ago I was talking about her taking care of Zhi'er, but I didn't let her come to wash clothes. The clothes piled up in the yard After a few days, I really couldn’t do without washing, so I asked her to come to wash it this morning. Who would have thought that she would hate that I didn’t hire a doctor for Zhi’er girl a few days ago, and tore my clothes while doing the laundry. I said After saying a few words to her, she talked back. Ah Fu somehow came over at this time, and he also talked back to me when I said something about the fourth daughter-in-law. Her grandson has been brought up like this, and she will definitely deny me in the future, master, why do you think her heart is so dark."

Mrs. Tong's ability to reverse black and white is very good, and she immediately became angry as usual, and said angrily: "Why is the fourth daughter-in-law teaching the child like this? You are the elder of the child. She didn't teach her grandson to respect the teacher. Instead, she behaved like this." Acting, it is really..."

Seeing that old man Tong was angry, Mrs. Tong wiped away her tears, got up, and said coldly: "I never want to see her, and she should bear grudges against me, but I feel sorry for my grandson who was taught to be like that by her. Now that you know, don't make fun of our Tong family."

This fire completely burned away the slightest bit of guilt in Fang Cuiwei's heart for being bullied by his wife in old man Tong's heart.

So, when Tong Zhixin entered the room, what he saw was Old Man Tong's eyes that seemed to be eating people.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: Fortunately, I heard Zhi'er's words just now and told their mothers to wait outside first.

"You, kneel down."

Seeing the fourth child coming, Old Man Tong said angrily.

"Father, what did the fourth brother do?" Tong Zhiming, the eldest son, entered the house at this time. At the same time, his wife, Lin, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Hu, followed behind him.The second child is Tong Zhide, the second wife is Luo Shi, and the second child is Tong Zhaoyin.The old five children know righteousness.

Old Wu Tong Zhiyi is only seven years old now, he is the old son of Old Man Tong and Mrs. Tong, and he is very doted on on weekdays.

As soon as Mrs. Tong saw her youngest son entering the room, she immediately beckoned him to come and sit beside her. The other sons found stools and sat down on their own, while the women stood aside silently.

"Boss and second, you came at the right time, and I will call you again if you don't need it. Fourth, do you know how your wife raises children?"

Old man Tong stared at Tong Zhixin angrily.

Tong Zhixin looked at Mrs. Tong next to Old Man Tong, not knowing what she was talking about to make Old Man Tong like this, but he knew it must be something bad.

Immediately, he chose to remain silent.

Old man Tong snorted coldly, and told him what Mrs. Tong said just now.

"...Lao Si, you are an honest person, and you know the word filial piety. Now your wife has taught Ah Fu to be like that, and you know how to contradict your elders at a young age. How can you do it when you grow up?"

"Father's lesson is that I will definitely talk to her when I turn around." Tong Zhixin opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't want to make Old Man Tong even more angry, so he changed his words to this.

Old man Tong's face remained unchanged, he just said: "When you go back to the house, tell your daughter-in-law that if she doesn't know how to teach children, our Tong family will find a woman who can teach children."

Outside the door, Fang Cuiwei's head roared when he heard all this. What does Old Man Tong mean to divorce his wife?
No, she didn't do anything, why should she be so wronged?

Immediately, Fang Cuiwei opened the door and went in crying, kneeling on the ground with a plop.Tong Zhi'er and others followed her in, and knelt down along with her.

"Father, mother, I didn't teach the children badly, I didn't teach the children badly..."

When Mrs. Tong saw Fang Cuiwei coming in, half of her face was still swollen. She was afraid that Mrs. Tong would see these suspicious words and immediately said: "You still have the face to argue? How did Ah Fu question me in the yard during the day? Be clear. If old man Tong doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest daughter-in-law?"

"Boss, daughter-in-law, did you see it?" Old Man Tong asked Lin.

Lin took a step forward, and said: "Returning to Dad, during the day, the child Ah Fu did say a few words against his mother, but he doesn't understand anything as a child, so don't blame him, Dad."

From time to time, it was clear that Fang Cuiwei was appointed not to raise children.

Tong Zhi'er thought, the eldest aunt really has such a sharp mouth.
