Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 20 Filial Piety
Tang Jie's and Tang Mei'er's voices sounded almost simultaneously.

It turned out that they finally couldn't resist the temptation to secretly taste a sugar-fried chestnut from the wooden basin containing chestnuts.

When they finally tasted the taste of sugar-fried chestnuts, the sweet taste and soft texture immediately conquered all their palates.They couldn't even wait to swallow the chestnuts in their mouths, so they couldn't wait to start shouting.

Hearing their muffled voices, Tang Kun frowned, but immediately relaxed.

It is rare for children to have such delicious food, and he suddenly couldn't bear to be harsh.

"Father, Sister Xing'er, Brother Daqiao, let's try it too. See if the fried chestnuts are delicious? If we go to the town to fry chestnuts and sell them, can we make money?"

Tang Lier actually had many of them.

She worked so hard to make sugar-fried chestnuts, hoping to temporarily solve the real problem of the family's lack of food and clothing.As for making a fortune from this, it is unreliable...

After all, this chestnut is a specialty of their Lishui Town.

Not only Lishan Village has them, although there are not as many other villages as Lishan Village, they are not without them.Besides, the technical content of this sugar-fried chestnuts is not too complicated. If others want to fry them, they can do it after a few experiments.

Her goal is to sell these chestnuts in her family at a high price, pay back a tael of silver from Mr. Tang, and then find other ways to make a fortune.

As for why he had to pay back a tael of silver from Mr. Tang.

The purpose of her doing this is of course to draw a clear line with Mr. Tang and Mrs. Wu.She didn't forget that when Tang Yue mentioned that she would be sent to the town to be a child bride, Mr. Tang clearly agreed.

If Tang Kun hadn't revealed the results of his inquiries in the town, Mr. Tang would obviously not mind sacrificing one of her to make his other children live more comfortably.

She didn't even think about it, if she really made a fortune by relying on this tael of silver, Mr. Tang would definitely tell about the fact that he gave her a tael of silver for the sake of his other children.

She doesn't mind the whole family getting rich together.However, how to operate and how to help should be arranged by her.Instead of them using their status as elders to order her...

Therefore, this tael of silver must be returned to Mr. Tang before she can think of a way to make money.

"Chestnuts are not lying, these sugar-fried chestnuts are really delicious. Daqiao, go and get a big bowl, let's give some to grandparents to try..."

Tang Kun is a real person.

Although Mr. Tang has made it clear just now, don't honor them with all good things in the future.However, he felt that Tang Li'er had just collected a tael of silver from the old man, so they had to reciprocate, and gave Mr. Tang and Mrs. Wu something they thought was delicious.

"it is good."

Tang Qiao got up happily. Like Tang Kun, he was a real person.

"Father, my grandfather just said that we don't want us to pay extra things to the old house in the future..."

Tang Meier was a bit reluctant to part with such delicious sugar-fried chestnuts.Moreover, she could clearly see that the aunt and uncle brought a lot of things to the old house today. Although Mr. Tang gave each of them moon cakes, Mrs. Wu clearly showed a reluctant expression.

They have innumerable delicious things for themselves, and they can still eat their fill.However, my family's dinner is still sweet potato porridge...

"Meizi, they are your grandparents, it's only natural for us to honor them."

Hearing that the youngest daughter actually said such words, Tang Kun's face dropped "huo—" and he spoke in a slightly stern tone.

"woo woo woo woo…"

"It's true that they are our grandparents, but they can have enough to eat. My sister-in-law and uncle can have enough to eat. But we are hungry every day..."

Tang Meier cried in fright at Tang Kun's harsh tone, and threw herself into the arms of Tang Lier who was closest to her.But at such a young age, she was obviously very unwilling. Although she was still crying, her crying voice came out clearly.

Tang Li'er felt that in such a large family, none of them, the youngest Tang Meier, could see clearly.

Indeed, there are seven members of their family who can't even eat enough for their own stomachs, so why should they be filial to a pair of parents who are well fed and clothed every day.It is right for a father to be kind and filial to his son, but the parents are clearly aware of the fact that they do not have enough food and clothing, but they still have the heart to put the "filial piety" that their son has saved by doing everything possible into their arms...

What is even more hateful is Mrs. Wu. While holding the "filial piety" given to her by Tang Kun and his wife with peace of mind, she uneasy and kindly called their siblings "little beggars" and "debt collectors"...

If possible, Tang Li'er would like to draw a clear line with her and never have any contact with her.

"Father, you should be filial to your grandparents. However, we should do what we can to honor the elderly. If our family is hungry, we just want to save things to honor the elderly. This is the greatest disfilial piety. Think about it, we can't even support ourselves, and our family can't afford food and clothing. Doesn't this make everyone in the village despise our grandpa and milk? This reputation is bad, but no amount of filial piety will buy it. not coming back..."

Tang Lier gently patted Tang Meier's back with her hand, comforting her silently, and then calmly began to "brainwash" Tang Kun...

After the commotion in the morning, she understood that Mr. Tang and the Wu family really had a bad reputation in the village.

There are more or less the results of Tang Kun's filial piety over the years.

"However, it was not easy for your grandpa and grandma to support your dad all those years..."

Tang Kun still heard Tang Lier's words, and he also calmed down, and then spoke bitterly.

He didn't want to do this either, but Mrs. Wu couldn't help complaining in front of him, saying how difficult it was to raise him with shit and piss from a young age.

"Father, it's really not easy for me to nurse her to support you. But isn't it the duty of a parent to bring up a child? Besides, it's even more difficult for my grandpa and my nurse to send my uncle and uncle to study. Could it be that my uncle? Respect my grandpa and grandma without eating or drinking every time..."

Tang Lier guessed that Mrs. Wu should have said something to Tang Kun behind others' backs.Otherwise, Tang Kun didn't really get his head kicked by a donkey. He would rather his family starve and suffer cold than pay good things to honor Mr. Tang and Mrs. Wu first.

"But, let your grandma know that we didn't honor them by eating fried chestnuts tonight, and tomorrow the whole village will know that I am disobedient and disrespectful to my parents..."

Tang Kun spoke in pain.

"Father, it's not that we are disrespectful. However, we have to do what we can. We don't fry many chestnuts. Our family has seven, plus my grandpa and my grandma have nine. Then divide it into nine parts, and give them in two parts. My grandpa and my grandma can't do it..."
