Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Bla it on _1
With that in mind, she found a clean sack, which she filled with nearly a half sack of Dried Sweet Potatoes and dozens of Mooncakes.
In the previous period, they had made too many Mooncakes, Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, Qiao Zhaodi, and Qiao Yindi had almost taken to eating them as their staple food, but they quickly grew tired of them.
These several dozen were leftovers. She and Tong Sanlang didn’t eat them much either, so it was perfect for Tong Tiehu to take back.
After so thought, she added fifty jin of soybeans to the sack.
As Tong Tiehu was getting on in years, drinking so soy milk daily wasn’t a bad idea.
Carrying over two sacks, one large and one small, she showed Tong Tiehu the contents and finally reminded him, “Grandpa, I think it’s better not to hold any expectations. This Spiritual Spring water, besides tasting good, has no other effects.”
...
She couldn’t even cure her own dysnorrhea, so how could she expect to treat morning sickness?
Wishful thinking.
Tong Tiehu nodded, “Let’s give it a try. It’s also to shut them up, so they don’t make a fuss.”
He was out of options. With the younger generation being so useless, he was too old to physically discipline them anymore.
Especially since Zhu Hongyun was pregnant.
Sigh, he must personally raise this child of Zhu Hongyun after he’s born.
Not to raise another Tong Sanlang, but at least to ensure the child wouldn’t end up as useless as Tong Erlang and Zhu Hongyun.
“By the way, Grandpa, today when I went to the town to see Shopkeeper He, he didn’t ntion anything about Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law dining at the Extre Flavor Residence,” Tong Sanlang said while busying himself with his work.
If Tong Erlang and Zhu Hongyun really did go to the Extre Flavor Residence for als, and with such frequency over the past few days, spending so much silver, Shopkeeper He would have certainly told him.
Shopkeeper He didn’t ntion it…
Then it was very likely these two didn’t dine at the Extre Flavor Residence.
Tong Tiehu quickly ca to this realization as well, and his face darkened, “Are these two trying to fool ?”
Tong Sanlang remained silent, having relayed all the information he knew.
But Qiao Xiaomai said, “When you get back, you should ask them properly. Lying is a bad habit that needs to be corrected. Especially since this involves money.”
Spending twenty taels in just a few days was extravagant.
Tong Tiehu’s face was grim as he humd in agreent, “I’ll ask when I get back.”
“Oh, Grandpa, there’s another thing…” Tong Sanlang raised his head again and talked about the Mooncakes, the poem, and the bicycle they were currently tinkering with.
After hearing this, Tong Tiehu dismissed it with an indifferent wave of his hand, “No problem. Just keep tinkering. If anything cos up, just say that I was the one who told you.”
“Hm?” Tong Sanlang tilted his head slightly, puzzled.
“The stepmother raised for a few years, so I’ll just say that she told about these things. I didn’t dare to bring them out in the previous years for fear of being discovered by the retired emperor, but now that I have no such concerns, it’s natural to bring those things out.”
Yang Wenxiao had often inquired about his ti spent with Liuli, to which he always gave vague responses.
With several years gone by, it was impossible for him to recount every word and every event to Yang Wenxiao. So, should Yang Wenxiao harbor any doubts, it was best to let him direct them all towards him.
Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai quickly understood Tong Tiehu’s words. They exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up with joy.
The two nodded firmly at the sa ti, “Yes!”
They had previously entered into a flawed way of thinking and overlooked this point.
But Tong Tiehu’s words brought sudden clarity!
Indeed, having an elder in the family is like possessing a treasure!
“However, don’t tinker with anything too outlandish, like bombs or such, as that involves the Yang Family’s foundation and we must not commit any taboos,” Tong Tiehu warned further.
