Chapter 810: Chapter 810: How to Choose Between Two Paths_1
Tong Erlang was already on his guard this time, and when Tong Tiehu’s whip descended, he quickly leaped to the side, “I didn’t do anything!”
“Fine, you won’t talk, huh? Then don’t expect a single cent from me ever again. When your wife has morning sickness, don’t even think about me swallowing my pride to ask for things!” Tong Tiehu huffed coldly and walked back to his own house with his hands behind his back.
At these words, Tong Erlang was deflated.
That’s the treatment for a freeloader who’s good for nothing. When someone threatens to cut off their source of silver, they’ll definitely wilt.
“It’s just that Xiaoyun’s brother is short of money… Last time, Tong Sanlang and his wife took Xiaoyun’s house apart. Patching it up, they would certainly need quite a bit of silver.”
Zhu Hongfu had already talked to him about this, but since he had no silver in his hands, he couldn’t help.
Later, he thought about asking Tong Sanlang for a loan, but Tong Sanlang simply wouldn’t see him. When he finally did get to see him, he wasn’t even given the chance to ask.
Seeing Zhu Hongfu getting more and more pressing, he had no choice but to think crooked thoughts.
Taking advantage of Zhu Hongyun’s morning sickness, the couple consulted and decided to ask Tong Tiehu for silver.
The twenty taels of silver he asked for were all given to Zhu Hongfu.
Zhu Hongyun did not dine at Ji Wei Ju; she still ate the family’s women’s food that resembled pig swill, which is why she kept vomiting.
Tong Tiehu was not surprised after hearing the explanation.
Tong Erlang’s only bad habit besides being lazy and gluttonous was spending money on the Zhu Family.
But he didn’t expect that now, to cover for the Zhu Family, the kid even lied to him.
Thinking about how Tong Sanlang always obeyed obediently and comparing that to how Tong Erlang kept sinking deeper into his mess, unable to pull himself together, Tong Tiehu trembled with anger.
“You!”
“Grandpa, grandpa, I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry. I’ll change, I’ll never lie to you again!” Seeing that Tong Tiehu’s whip was about to come down again, Tong Erlang quickly knelt down and pleaded for mercy, “I had no choice, Xiaoyun can’t sleep at night worrying. She has your grandchild in her belly!”
Tong Tiehu “…”
He put down the whip he had raised.
This Tong Erlang really was…
Now, should he force Zhu Hongyun to have an abortion and then divorce her, focusing on strictly training Tong Erlang, or not intervene and wait for Zhu Hongyun to give birth then take the child to raise himself?
One choice sacrificed the unborn child.
The other sacrificed Tong Erlang.
Which path was better?
Seeing Tong Tiehu’s face change, Tong Erlang crawled a few steps and came to Tong Tiehu, whispering, “Grandpa, I won’t dare anymore, please spare me this time!”
Tong Tiehu kicked him away, “Scram!”
After tossing out that word, he turned and went back inside the house.
No matter which path, it hurt him deeply. Sigh!
Having been kicked by Tong Tiehu, Tong Erlang thought Tong Tiehu would let it go and immediately stood up, patted the dirt off himself, and walked quickly to the carriage, “Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, come out and eat something!”
Zhu Hongyun, who had been quietly hiding inside, came out leisurely at his call.
Just then, the door of Li Rou’s and Tong Dalang’s house also opened, and Li Rou stood in the doorway, “Oh, what’s all the good stuff?”
She hadn’t been able to sleep, and when she saw Tong Tiehu enter the house, she had stepped out.
If Tong Tiehu brought back good things, they couldn’t let Tong Erlang and Zhu Hongyun monopolize them.
“What good things? It’s just Dried Sweet Potatoes and Mooncake, and a few chunks of meat.” Tong Erlang muttered, “Sanlang and his wife are really becoming more miserly. Even grandpa personally went, and all they gave were these few things!”
What do you think?
