Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Severing Ties, No Forgiveness_1
Tong Erlang stared at the stead bun in Tong Sanlang’s hand and felt even more wronged.
After spending the whole day here, he had only eaten a bowl of rice and now he is supposed to go ho with just this stead bun?
Zhu Hongyun would certainly not let him off the hook.
“Sanlang, could you give so dried sweet potatoes, please? I’ve finished the ones you gave last ti.” His tone shifted to pleading.
“Bring cooper coins to buy them,” Tong Sanlang stretched out his hand toward him, “Last ti she insulted Xiaomai, so from now on no more dried sweet potatoes for free.”
So he had decided not to let Tong Tiehu return for the next few days.
...
From now on, if he had any good things, he would have Tong Tiehu stay over for a few days instead of carrying them ho himself.
“This stead bun is for you, and if you take it back and give it to her, then you won’t see even a single stead bun here in the future,” Tong Sanlang continued.
“Brother, I’ve always treated you like a real brother, but I’ve cut off my feelings for her from now on.”
Tong Erlang “…”
He was stunned, blankly staring at Tong Sanlang, “It’s just… it’s just…”
“It won’t do. Insulting is one thing, but one word against Xiaomai and I hold a grudge,” Tong Sanlang said sternly. “It won’t be resolved; even if she cos to apologize on her knees, it won’t make a difference.”
The insult, Xiaomai herself probably wouldn’t even care about.
But the problem between him and Xiaomai persisted; if things didn’t change, Xiaomai wouldn’t be able to get pregnant.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal now, but when they find out later that she can’t get pregnant, that insult will cut deep.
Cut deep.
That touched a nerve, which was different from the previous incidents of selling the braised pork recipe and framing Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi—it was like stabbing a knife into his heart.
Unforgivable.
Tong Erlang “…”
He looked at Tong Sanlang in a daze, struggling to understand, “But you slapped your sister-in-law, and I didn’t make a fuss about it.”
“It’s different,” Tong Sanlang’s face remained stern, “There’s no discussion this ti. I’ll put away the stead bun if you don’t eat it.”
As he spoke, Tong Sanlang turned to leave.
“Hey, wait a minute, I’ll eat!” Tong Erlang hastily held him back.
Kidding, he had only a bowl of rice for lunch and was so hungry now that his stomach was growling again.
He didn’t care; he had to eat first!
Tong Erlang snatched the stead bun and devoured it voraciously, eating so quickly that he imdiately choked.
Tong Sanlang shook his head helplessly and fetched a bowl of water from the Construction Team’s kitchen.
“Go back and tell her to give up hope.”
“Of course, if you co to work, I’ll welco that.”
Leaving these words behind, Tong Sanlang turned and walked away.
Tong Erlang looked at his resolute disappearing figure, feeling an urge to cry from the sadness in his heart.
What should I do now…
The desperate Tong Erlang drove his ox cart ho.
After relaying Tong Sanlang’s ssage to Zhu Hongyun, sure enough, he imdiately took several hits from her. Hunching his body, he pleaded, “Xiaoyun, maybe you should really go and apologize by kneeling down?”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Hongyun’s rage heightened several notches.
“You want to kneel to that wretched woman with my belly this big?!” Zhu Hongyun snapped, her face contorted with extre anger.
Tong Erlang involuntarily shrank his head further, “It’s for the child in your belly, isn’t it? It’s just a matter of kneeling and saying a few nice things.”
By now, he realized that opposing Xiaomai was of no benefit.
If that was the case, then lowering his head and apologizing sincerely couldn’t hurt.
After all, they were family. If he truly knelt down and wept sincerely, Tong Sanlang likely wouldn’t be hard on him.
Let bygones be bygones for all the past disputes and sufferings.
