Chapter 686: A Slap in Return

Tong Sanlang carried a basket of dried sweet potatoes to their new residence.

Naturally, these unimpressive dried sweet potatoes didn’t catch the eyes of the Tong family members, especially since these dried sweet potatoes were sold at a price of three hundred wen per catty. Upon seeing the dried sweet potatoes, Tong Xingda exclaimed loudly, “Can this thing be eaten?”

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang immediately put the basket in his hands in front of Tong Tiehu, “Grandpa, you should try it.”

Tong Tiehu pinched one and put it in his mouth, chewed a couple of times and nodded, “Hmm, it’s Xiaomai’s craftsmanship.”

“The recipe is just like this. It was also made the same way for the retired emperor. Grandpa, you keep these for your meals. I have to take care of Master Fan’s order.”

“Go on.” Tong Tiehu waved his hand, indicating him to leave.

Once Tong Tiehu finished speaking, he directly used light work to leave, not giving Tong Xingda and Zhang family a chance to scold him.

Tong Xingda trembled with anger, “Father, look, look! He truly bears the Qiao surname now! He’s neglecting his own work, he didn’t even celebrate such a big event like passing the scholarly examinations, he’s wholeheartedly devoted to the Qiao family!”

Tong Tiehu, who was sitting on the stool and chewing on the dried sweet potatoes, glanced at him and said without expression, “It was you who begged for this daughter-in-law from the Qiao family.”

“Oh yes, there was also your daughter-in-law’s fake sickness.”

“Marriage deception, these lowly tactics were used, she fulfilled your wishes in terms of the recipes and silver, are you still not satisfied?”

“If you’re not satisfied, sue them. I support you suing them.”

After saying this, Tong Tiehu lowered his head and continued to chew on the dried sweet potatoes.

After tasting this dried sweet potato, he felt that he had been eating sweet potatoes in vain before. This was the real sweet potato!

Tong Xingda was speechless, “…”

His already red face was now even redder due to suffocation.

Sue, always telling him to sue, does he really think he won’t dare to?!

“Family head, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” Seeing Tong Xingda venting his anger to the point of steaming, Zhang’s wife hurried over to advice him.

Marriage deception, she was the main perpetrator. If this really gets out, the one who will be punished the most is certainly her.

“Today is Sanlang’s day of great joy. No matter what, he is our son. He passed the scholarly examinations, we are the ones with glory.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Xingda backhanded her with a big slap, “Get lost! It was your bad suggestion at the start!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If it wasn’t for this leverage falling into Qiao Xiaomai’s hands, would he be so aggrieved now?

Moreover, initially Qiao Xiaomai had also received him with all smiles, then suddenly turned cold. She must have known about the marriage deception.

It’s all because of Zhang’s bad suggestion!

Actually, Tong Xingda didn’t take money very seriously. After all, they were a family that had owned a treasure. His vision was quite open, unlike Zhang’s wife who watched every penny since she was from a lower class family.

Right now, he was more obsessed with Qiao Xiaomai’s craftsmanship.

What’s the use of having more than ten silver bills? Even going to the Zuixian Building, he couldn’t buy Qiao Xiaomai’s skills.

All because of this stupid woman!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Tong Xingda again raised his arm and hit Zhang’s wife, “It was your bad suggestion!”

Zhang was beaten and ran around the courtyard, protesting loudly, “It was eldest daughter-in-law’s idea, how could I think of such a plan!”

Upon hearing these words, Tong Xingda immediately directed his anger towards Li Rou who was standing on the side and stormed over.

In the Tong family, there is no rule that the father-in-law can’t reprimand the daughter-in-law. Last time Zhu Hongyun acted strangely, he had given her a slap as well.
