Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 594: Moving you out!

It’s not too much at all!

She happens to be Tong Sanlang’s own mother!

Without her, where would Tong Sanlang come from?

The kindness of raising him to such a size, and now just relying on this bit of silver to send her away, she really is at a loss!

It’s true that once a son gets a wife, he forgets his mother!

The angrier she gets, the more she can’t help but feel annoyed. As she looks at Tong Tiehu, she looks very disgruntled.

Tong Tiehu “…”

In light of the few words he exchanged with Qiao Xiaomai yesterday, last night he deeply reflected on his simplicities and brutalities over the years. He wants to change, not to oppress with simple and brutal strengths, he wants to reason.

That’s why, no matter what Zhang Family said just now, he didn’t show any anger on his face. He was trying to suppress his anger.

Although Zhang Family’s words made some sense, on careful consideration, they’re all nonsense.

Qiao Xiaomai still owes nearly ten thousand taels of silver to Yang Ye, and the house on the estate is only just beginning to take shape; materials for what not like a pond, brook, and a mountain full of fruit trees haven’t been purchased at all.

And an inn that can make a tael of silver a day just casually dishes out a few dishes?

Do they really think that the recipes in Qiao Xiaomai’s mind are endless and that she can have as many as she wants?

Qiao Xiaomai also has her own plans for establishing a family.

And what’s most important, it hasn’t been long since the retired emperor confiscated his family’s property. His family has to go through this year in peace and simplicity at the least.

If they bought a courtyard in the town to do business and lived more prosperously than before, wouldn’t that be slapping the retired emperor in his face?

That is also why he is suppressing Tong Sanlang’s hunting and only buying about ten acres of land, to avoid returning to the past too quickly.

He emphasizes this reason frequently, why can’t these fools remember it at all?!

Taking a deep breath, Tong Tiehu tried to control his anger, and spoke in as calm a tone as he could, “Have you forgotten what I said about not being able to quickly restore our previous lifestyle? Have you forgotten about the imperial edict of the retired emperor?”

Imperial edict?

At these words, the expression on Zhang Family’s face stiffened.

This thing… she really had forgotten.

Recently, she’s been taking medicine all the time and has been stuck in the room. All she’s been thinking about is how to scrape more benefits from Qiao Xiaomai. She really had cast this aside.

“Anyway, since you’re living in the village, everything is self-sufficient, it won’t cost many silvers. From now on, both Sanlang and Xiaomai will pay you a tael of silver for your filial respect every month, which should be enough for you.”

“One piece of silver?!” Zhang Family was brought back to her senses by this number and cried out in shock.

Tong Tiehu couldn’t help but lose his temper at her reaction, scolding, “In all these years, you have only saved up to a hundred pieces of silver privately! Don’t be too greedy!”

“Don’t forget what you pressed on Xiaomai to marry into the Tong Family with, His Highness, Prince Wei, is still in Bailu Town. If this matter comes out, don’t even think about having a single copper coin!”

Zhang Family was surprised by his raised voice. After a pause, the discrepancy between reality and her imaginings prompted her to argue, “But one piece of silver is too little, dad. You were the one who asked me to make the conditions!”

“What kind of rubble are you producing! Thing that doesn’t know the good from the bad, I think this monthly piece of silver showing your filial respects, you shouldn’t take either. Since you’re so keen on being sick, then continue being sick. When Daliang and Erlang come back at midday, I will announce that your illness has worsened. To prevent you from passing it on to others, I’ll move you to the new house.”

“From now on, you’ll live in the new house first, and we’ll talk about other things when you get better!”
