Chapter 948: Chapter 948 Encounter_1 Chapter 948: Chapter 948 Encounter_1 “Here.” Tong Sanlang handed the basket to Tong Erlang.
Taking it, Tong Erlang’s shoulders sagged, and he nearly threw the basket away, “It’s so heavy.”
“Also, Sanlang, can’t you bring sothing I can eat right now? I’ve walked so far, and I’m hungry.”
While speaking, Tong Erlang placed the basket on the ground and rubbed his stomach with his hand.
Tong Sanlang, “… Wait here.”
Tong Sanlang quickly brought over a few at pies, “Eat.”
Tong Erlang was delighted this ti, taking the at pies and wolfing them down.
This trip turned out not to be a waste, as he could enjoy a good al.
But thinking of Zhu Hongyun’s instructions when he left, he started to worry again.
Oh dear, why was he given such a heavy task!
He was really very cowardly!
As he was wallowing in his worries, just then a guard carrying a skateboard entered the manor, and his attention was imdiately drawn to it, “What is that?”
“A skateboard, you can slide on it across the ice.”
“That’s amazing, do you have one? Give a pair, I want to try sliding.”
“I’ll ride a horse and take you back to the village,” Tong Sanlang said.
It was almost noon by now, and Qiao Xiaomai was already cooking lunch in the kitchen; he wanted to go help.
Upon hearing this, Tong Erlang’s enthusiasm faded, “I want to play with that skateboard.”
“Fine, I’ll give you a pair, just wait,” Tong Sanlang said as he turned and re-entered the manor.
The manor now had many of the simplest kind of skateboards, but Tong Erlang’s level of skill suggested that he probably couldn’t manage the standing kind.
Thinking it over, he picked up the very crudely made first snow sled he had made.
He could give the snow sled to Tong Erlang to play with in the village; it would be perfect for using a horse to pull him back to the village on the sled.
With that thought, he went to the entryway carrying the snow sled.
At the entrance, Yang Wenxiao was talking to Tong Erlang.
Yang Wenxiao had played Mahjong all morning and felt a bit tired from sitting as it approached noon, so he decided to go out for a walk.
Coming to the entrance with a few people, he happened to see Tong Erlang huddled in the corner gnawing on his at pie.
He recognized Tong Erlang, and naturally, he felt he should ask about his appearance.
With that question, trouble erged.
Yang Wenxiao recognized Tong Erlang, and Tong Erlang certainly knew Yang Wenxiao. He had not expected to run into Yang Wenxiao at the entrance, and his legs went weak, leading him to kneel down on the spot.
When Yang Wenxiao asked him questions, his mind went blank, and without thinking, he shakily spilled the reason for his visit.
He wasn’t there to ask for at pies.
He was there to lodge a complaint.
He accused Qiao Xiaomai of disrespecting his in-laws, especially his father-in-law and implored Yang Wenxiao to make a ruling.
When Tong Sanlang ca out with the snow sled, he saw Tong Erlang kneeling on the ground, shivering and stumbling over his words as he accused Qiao Xiaomai.
“…”
He looked down at the snow sled in his hand, pursed his lips, and gripped the skateboard tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
Tong Erlang, facing Tong Sanlang, yelled out, “Sanlang, I didn’t want to co, but your sister-in-law cried and forced , I had no choice….”
As he spoke, his voice beca nasally, and tears welled up in his eyes, “Your sister-in-law talked about dying, and I couldn’t do anything but co.”
“Dad keeps blaming Xiaomai; he’s the father, what can I do?”
He felt so wronged too.
Yang Wenxiao watched Tong Erlang’s expression with a subtle look in his eyes.
He was aware of the issues between Qiao Xiaomai and the Tong Family, but he didn’t expect to encounter this kind of situation.
