Chapter 461: 461: Should be Gradual and Orderly

I dare not.

But this grudge has definitely grown deep.

Tong Tiehu indicated to Tong Xingda to stop. By then, both Madam Zhang and Zhu Hongyun were reduced to a bloody mess.

Tong Tiehu sneered and glanced at the food in the lunch box, declaring, “Let’s eat. Xiaomai brought this food, and naturally, it is meant to be eaten, not thrown away.”

“Zhang and the second daughter-in-law aren’t allowed to eat.”

Upon hearing these words, Tong Xingda sneered, saying, “Eat, eat, eat, and go back to work when you’re done. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go home.”

The others, stunned by the events, hurriedly began to wash their hands and eat.

As for Madam Zhang and Zhu Hongyun who lay on the ground.

Zhu Hongyun was cared for by Tong Erlang, while Madam Zhang was left on the ground, being ignoring by all.

Tong Sanlang, holding a steamed bun sandwiched with a piece of pork and stir-fried bean sprouts, stood next to Tong Tiehu and hesitated before saying, “Grandfather, shall I take on some more work?”

“Huh?” Tong Tiehu, holding a bowl of cold mixed cucumber, sat on the ground eating.

Barely audible, he said, “I think that even if we want everyone to train, we should proceed step by step. They’re definitely not used to such intense work all at once.”

Tong Tiehu laughed and snapped, “Tell me, is cutting grass hard work? Even children from other families can do it!”

“But our family members haven’t worked in so many years,” Tong Sanlang replied, “Grandfather, it’s impossible to accomplish anything all at once. If you make everyone work all day like this, they will definitely resist.”

“They’re asking for it! They don’t know how to appreciate kindness! They’re taking advantage!” Tong Tiehu said indignantly.

If these people hadn’t shown their true colors so blatantly, he wouldn’t have been so angry.

Forcing people to change means not holding back.

Being too soft-hearted will only make these people more demanding.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang sighed helplessly.

He quickly finished eating the steamed bun in his hand, picked up another, and started eating again, “Really not going to let my mom eat?”

“Or, shall I take her and my younger sister-in-law home? Especially my mother, who was kicked by my father several times. Shouldn’t we have Doctor Wu take a look at her?”

“How filial you are! When she was causing trouble at Xiaomai’s house, I didn’t see her thinking about you!” Tong Tiehu retorted coldly.

“She has a deep misunderstanding about Xiaomai.”

“Enough, in this situation, you two better not get married yet. Just endure it for now.”

Tong Sanlang “…”

Though it has been decided that they will marry after the provincial examination, will the situation improve by then?

After today, his mother will hold even more grudges against Qiao Xiaomai.

He felt so stifled.

When did these grudges start?

Such a nuisance!

With a heavy heart, he sighed quietly, finished his steamed bun in a couple more bites, and said, “Grandfather, let me take my mother home.”

“This beating was meant to teach her a lesson. If you’re going to keep coddling her, then all your father’s efforts would be in vain! Hmph, if you have the energy, stroll in the vicinity. Xiaomai is planning to build a manor, isn’t she? Go and survey the terrain again.”

Tong Sanlang “…”

He looked at Madam Zhang with concern, and then sighed heavily, “Why? You’re also getting yourself tired, Grandfather. I can go hunting and solve the problem quickly.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re getting old and confused.”

“No, I’m not confused yet. I’ll let you know when I am.”

These people, he had to straighten them out!

Seeing Tong Tiehu’s determination, Tong Sanlang sighed helplessly again. He picked up another steamed bun, used his light skills, and left.

With the situation as it was, it was better not to see it!
