Chapter 890: Chapter 900 He Hopes Tong Xingda Makes a Fuss_1
Not only was Tong Xingda roaring, but Zhu Hongyun was also complaining.
She was pregnant, and on such cold days, the fact that Tong Sanlang thought of outsiders instead of his own sister-in-law, her, showed he really ought to change his surna!
Amidst the outcry and muttering of these two people, Tong Tiehu remained calm, taking out ten taels of silver and instructing Tong Dalang to go to town to buy bricks.
“I already knew about this heating thod; Sanlang told about it long ago,” he said.
“What? Dad, you already knew?” exclaid Tong Xingda, “If you knew it all along, why didn’t you set it up? You know how cold it was a few days ago when it was lightly snowing!”
Tong Tiehu gave him a displeased look upon hearing this, “You wear a fox fur coat, sheepskin pants, and have sheepskin boots on your feet, and you’re still cold?”
Choked by these words, Tong Xingda fell silent.
Indeed, as soon as the weather got a bit cold, he ard himself from head to toe with these garnts, all of which Sanlang had gotten for him during his hunting trips. To be precise, the pelts everyone in the family was wearing were all from Sanlang’s hunting spoils.
Compared with other villagers, their family could definitely be considered as the warst dressed.
He snorted, “Anyway, Sanlang is unfilial! Such a good money-making sche, and he’d rather give it to the villagers than to ; it’s like he doesn’t even consider as his father anymore.”
“Unfilial? Didn’t he just bring over a goat a few days ago?” Tong Tiehu also snorted. “The more than a thousand taels of silver he gave are all in your hands. If that’s too little for you, hand it over, and I’ll give it to your wife, since she seems to be going mad for money.”
Upon hearing this, Tong Xingda stood with his neck stiff and shouted back, “One thousand six hundred taels, which is nothing compared to his massive wealth; it doesn’t even count as a hair!”
And besides, there were no longer one thousand and six hundred taels.
When winter began, he found his ho als lacking and frequently visited the Exquisite Restaurant, wastefully spending over three hundred taels, leaving just over twelve hundred taels now.
Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu scolded, “If you want silver, earn it yourself. Always scheming for the Qiao Family’s wealth, what kind of skill is that!”
“Dad, you might as well fool a three-year-old with that talk. For all the things Sanlang does to help Qiao Xiaomai, even ten thousand taels from Xiaomai wouldn’t be too much,” he retorted.
“I’m Sanlang’s father, he ought to give silver to spend.”
His tone was identical to that of Zhang Family’s.
Both husband and wife felt that, having raised Tong Sanlang, he should give them silver now that they were old.
Tong Tiehu having heard this, knew that continuing this topic would just go around in circles, making this argunt pointless.
His face grew stern as he said coldly, “I’m your father, and now that I’m old, I’m also waiting for you to earn silver so I can spend it.”
“If you can’t provide with silver, then don’t bla Sanlang for giving you so little.”
“If you and your wife make such a fuss, I’ll just find soone to send you to the old folks’ ho as well, so the two of you can keep each other company.”
“Not to ntion anything else, but I’m still the Village Chief. If I offer silver to hire soone to watch over you, there’ll be a bunch of people scrambling for the job.”
Ever since Zhang Family was taken to the nursing ho, Tong Tiehu felt that the house had truly beco much more peaceful.
In his daily life, at least there was one fewer person to offend his eyes.
Having enjoyed the benefits, now facing Tong Xingda, he was prepared to apply this thod as well.
In his lifeti, Tong Xingda hadn’t amounted to much; what Tong Tiehu could do now was to rein him in and prevent him from causing trouble for Tong Sanlang.
Really, he was eager for Tong Xingda to make a fuss.
