Chapter 820: Chapter 820 Fattening Up for Autumn_1
Actually, if it were just him, he wouldn’t mind if Tong Erlang continued to be a freeloader.
He was capable enough to support Tong Erlang.
But he was no longer alone; he was Qiao Xiaomai’s husband, and moreover, Tong Erlang had a wife who acted high and mighty.
Under such circumstances…
After some thought, he spoke up, “Erlang, about the problem of supporting the family, Xiaomai gave Mother a few recipes before, and with those recipes, you guys can definitely live quite well.”
“As for Er Sao needing to eat meals cooked by Xiaomai because of her pregnancy nausea, that’ll only happen if she personally comes over to kneel and apologize, otherwise, there’s no room for discussion.”

Tong Erlang “…”
Tears fell even more fiercely from his eyes as he stared at Tong Sanlang, crying without saying a word.
Tong Sanlang got a bit irritable from being stared at, “Erlang, can you be reasonable? All this property belongs to Xiaomai, not me! Although I’m a successful candidate in the imperial examination, I only get five hundred catties of grain a year, and I don’t have other ways to earn money.”
“Right now, I’m just working for Xiaomai to earn my keep, so don’t look to me for help; I can’t assist you.”
Having said this, Tong Sanlang decisively knocked Tong Erlang out again.
He looked apologetically at Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes in speechlessness, “Alright, alright, take him back and tell Grandfather not to let him come over again! If he does, I’ll just…”
Without a dog at home, she snorted, “I’ll personally kick him out!”
“Okay, okay, as you wish,” Tong Sanlang smiled at her, then carried Tong Erlang away.
By the time he reached Anping Village, the entire family was there, and the Zhang Family and Tong Xingda had just returned from the town.
The Zhang Family and Tong Xingda had gone to town to shop, buying some things and even indulging in a big meal at the Jiwei House. Tong Xingda had eaten so much meat at noon that he was still picking his teeth with a toothpick when he returned home.
Seeing Tong Sanlang come over, Tong Xingda didn’t even wait for him to speak before he beckoned, “I asked Shopkeeper He, and he said that now is the time when animals are at their fattest. If you go hunting and sell the game now, you’ll definitely get a good price.”
“You’re good at kung fu, so take some extra trips in the mountains these days and earn a few hundred taels for winter expenses.
“Animals fatten up for the winter, and so should our entire family.”
After saying this, he noticed Tong Erlang lying on the ox cart, “Eh, that’s Erlang lying on the ox cart. What happened to your second brother?”
Tong Sanlang “…”
Zhu Hongyun, who was originally sitting in the courtyard, felt a sadness welling up inside her as she heard Tong Xingda’s words and saw Tong Erlang lying unconscious on the ox cart. “Dad, you’re fattening up for winter while I can only nibble on dried sweet potatoes every day.”
What sins did she commit!
Qiao Xiaomai destroyed her family’s home and even took away her dowry jewelry, and now she was being forced to kneel and apologize. Why was her life so full of suffering!
Choked with sobs, she poured out all of the day’s events to Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family.
She felt wronged!
Tong Xingda, who was originally impatient with listening to Zhu Hongyun’s complaints—pregnancy nausea was too common, after all—however, when the conversation turned to Qiao Xiaomai, he became furious and glared at Tong Sanlang.
“You little brat, it’s about your nephew’s life. What’s wrong with asking your wife to cook a meal!”
“Since you know it’s about her son’s life, then she should go and kneel to apologize,” Tong Sanlang dropped these words, and to avoid being accosted by Tong Xingda, he promptly used his martial arts skills to leap over the courtyard wall. Landing on the back of a horse, he rode away.
Tong Xingda watched him make his escape and immediately felt his anger boiling over again.
Li Rou sat to the side, looking at the greasy corners of the Zhang Family and Tong Xingda’s mouths, and guessed aloud, “Sanlang’s point probably is that smashing your younger sister-in-law’s home was just retaliation, but since she has never apologized, this matter is not settled.”
