Tong Er Lang stumbled over his words.
Zhu Hongyun and Tong Sanlang put the basket in the kitchen, grumbling in a low voice, “See, they deliberately left the basket behind when they came to deliver the goods. San Lang will definitely have to return it later. All this back and forth.”
It sounded just like what Zhu Cuiying said at that time.
This is how Qiao Xiaomai hooked up with people!
Tong Tiehu glared at her, “You shut up.”
“Grandpa, I really don’t understand, with the audacity of Xiaomai who dared to sever ties with her own grandmother, aren’t you afraid she’ll treat you the same in the future?” Zhu Hongyun said.
“She’s more obedient in front of me than you two, you both stop worrying about it.” Tong Tiehu snorted.
Zhu Hongyun was speechless at his words.
She couldn’t help cursing inwardly, what a brown-noser!
She truly did not want Qiao Xiaomai to marry into the Tong Family.
Before, she disliked Qiao Xiaomai because Zhu Cuiying talked about her too much. But now, she disliked her even more because Tong Tiehu sided with Qiao Xiaomai, and on top of that, Xiaomai owned silver and fields, and her temperament was so unruly that not even the Emperor could handle her.
Who would like such a sister-in-law?
“Grandfather, her politeness towards you is only temporary, just to get into our family, think about it. Now, she is still a village girl with a little bit of silver, but once she really gets together with San Lang, she would be married into an official family.”
“She was so ruthless towards the Sun Family, when you are no longer useful to her, she will undoubtedly treat you the same way she treated the Sun Family.”
Zhu Hongyun began to explain this reasoning to Tong Tiehu respectfully and gently.
With her limited intelligence, she had no idea that Qiao Xiaomai had a good relationship with Yang Ye and was made known to Emperor Yongan.
“Moreover, look at her family, her father is lame and her mother ran away, she must have brought disaster upon them, this kind…”
“Shut up!” Tong Tiehu was truly furious this time.
Iler words were becoming more and more outrageous!
“Zhang, confine your daughter-in-law in her room, she’s not allowed to go out or deliver food tomorrow!” he ordered sternly.
Zhang, who had kept silent, said hesitantly, “Father, isn’t that a bit too much…” “How is it too much? She’s preparing to spread rumors! Who did she learn this bad habit from?!” Tong Tiehu slammed his chopsticks down on the table.
Everyone present gave a start, completely ceasing their eating.
Tong Xingda frowned at Zhang, scolding her, “Go now!”
Then, he shot a glare at Zhu Hongyun, “What business does a daughter-in-law have meddling in Sanlang’s marriage matters?!”
Zhang didn’t dare delay any longer, quickly standing up, escorting the stunned Zhu Hongyun towards their room.
Tong Er Lang was also a little shocked, with Tong Tiehu even slamming his chopsticks, it was too frightening!
He shrank back, grabbed two steamed buns, picked up a plate of vegetables in front of him, and ran to his room, thinking, “I’ve got to fill up tonight!”
Tong Tiehu frowned even deeper at the sight.
Tong Xingda gave Tong Sanlang a look, he picked up the chopsticks Tong Tiehu had thrown down and went to the kitchen to get him a new pair.
Tong Xingda said with a laugh, “Father, don’t be angry, eat! Xiaomai is a good girl, why don’t we propose a marriage in a few days?”
Previously, he disliked her because she had an impolite attitude towards him.
But now, the situation was different.
Qiao Xiaomai had special status in Emperor Yongan’s presence and had a good relationship with Yang Ye.
Having such a daughter-in-law to cover for them, capable of earning money, would definitely be beneficial to their family’s ambitious plans!
Tong Tiehu looked at Tong Sanlang upon hearing this, “The matter of Sanlang’s marriage will be decided by Sanlang himself.”
“He’s just a child, we can’t let him make a mess of such an important matter in life. Look at Er Lang’s wife, we absolutely can’t repeat such a mistake. We should send for the matchmaker in the next few days to propose marriage to the Qiao Family.”
“San Lang is not getting any younger, we can’t delay it any longer..”
