The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s
Tong Xuelu sighed and said, âTong Zhenzhen was upset that I had taken her identity but she did not dare to come at me. She took it out on Mianmian. I got annoyed at her and reported her to the cops. She was then sent to the farm.â
The Tong family, ââ¦â¦âThe house went silent once again.In addition to those from the home town, even Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were stunned.Tong Xuelu never told the two of them about what had happened with Tong Zhenzhen.Tong Jiaxinâs lips parted and was about to say something when he was stopped by Tong Jiaming giving him a stare.Sun Guilan recollected herself and, with a dubious look, âYou are not just trying to make yourself look good, are you? Zhenzhen is the Tongâs real daughter. Why wouldnât they be on her side?âTong Xuelu, âTong Zhenzhen is, indeed, the Tongâs real daughter but I was the one who had been with them for 15 years whereas Tong Zhenzhen had only been with them for a few months. But thatâs not really the point. Who do you think is prettier, me or Tong Zhenzhen?âThose from the hometown were silenced once again.But what did that have to do with Tong Zhenzhen being sent to the farm?Tong Xuelu did not wait for their response but went on to say, âYou can figure out the answer to that one. I am 10 times, no, 100 times prettier than Tong Zhenzhen!âThe Tong family, ââ¦â¦â¦â¦âThey wouldnât even dare to boast to that point back home!Tong Xuelu, âPrecisely because I am pretty like a fairy. That was the reason that the Tongâs had chosen me over Tong Zhenzhen. Iâm sure you know the reason behind that, right? Itâs really very simple. With my look, I will always be able to marry into a rich and powerful family!âCould Tong Zhenzhen? No, she couldnât. Just look at that flat nose and her dark skin. What kind of high official family would pick her? The Tong family picked me because they are smart and know where we stand!âThe Tong family, ââ¦â¦â¦â¦âThey didnât even know who was more shameless, Tong Xuelu or the other Tong family.Jie Jinhuaâs face was long like a cucumber with the words âI am not happyâ written all over it.Her nose was flat and she was darker than Tong Zhenzhen. She felt that she had been offended.Tong Xuelu looked over the crowd with her almond-shaped eyes and said, âSo, Grandma, do you still want to visit Tong Zhenzhen?âJie Jinhua said with a long face, âForget about that!âNevermind that! Whoâd want to go to visit a farm?Tong Erzhu and the others looked at Tong Xuelu in a new light.They had only thought of her as something very articulating and didnât pay her much attention. But things had changed. The other Tong had picked her over their own daughter.It seemed they could not offend her in the future. Quite the contrary, they needed to fawn over her. That was the only way that she would help them get jobs.Feng Zhaodiâs mouth cracked open, bearing her yellow teeth. âIt really doesnât matter if we meet up with Zhenzhen or not. After all, you are our niece and part of the family. We will be relying on you for a job, Niece!âTong Xuelu turned when she heard that.Feng Zhaodi was the wife of Tong Sanzhuang. Unlike Tong Erzhu and his wife, Feng Zhaodi husband and wife were not only tools but also very wicked in their ways.They hid in the back when Tong Yanliang was having conflict with the others but walked ahead when it came time to lunch.They were the typical selfish people.Tong Xuelu smiled perfunctorily and couldnât be bother to respond.Sun Guilan, on the other hand, did not want to fawn over Tong Xuelu.She tugged her mother-in-lawâs sleeve and said in a low voice. âMom, the death benefit. We must get back the death benefit!âThat reminded Jie Jinhua of the death benefit. âWhen I called the factory the other day, the Plant Manager told me that you had already taken away the death benefit. Whereâs the money? Hand it over!âTong Xuelu, âGrandma, Iâd like to talk to you in private.â
