General Tong was so scolded by his wife that he wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.
He and his eldest brother were far apart in age. When he was young, he was almost raised by his eldest brother as his son. Later, his eldest brother was gone, and so was his nephew. Tong Ling'er was left with only a single seedling. He thought about his eldest brother's friendship in his heart. I think it's appropriate to take care of this grandnephew.
Moreover, Tong Ling'er prefers to pretend to be weak and show off his pity. Most of his own children are as bad-tempered, hard-tempered and very stubborn like him. They are not convinced when they see that he treats Tong Ling'er well and like to cause trouble for Tong Ling'er. .
Therefore, he felt guilty and treated Tong Ling'er better. However, he treated Tong Ling'er better, which caused them to hate Tong Ling'er even more, and they wanted to cause trouble for Tong Ling'er. Such a vicious cycle has reached this point today. situation.
As for beatings and scoldings, he didn't think it was anything. There is a saying that a filial son will be born under a stick. If a child is too naughty and disobedient, he will become obedient after being beaten, and then he will learn to behave. But he probably did not expect that one of his children He was so stubborn that for so many years, he had been resenting him because Tong Ling'er had beaten them.
Now, they have actually discussed together to abandon him as their biological father.
General Tong was so angry that he was fuming and felt extremely flustered. This group of wretched children could really do such a thing. After all, he had only seen his eldest daughter a few times in a year after she got married. She was obviously not far away. , but didn’t even bother to go back to her parents’ home.
Several brothers and sisters actually like to go to her house and stay for a few days if they have nothing to do.
Previously, he was too arrogant and didn't think anything was wrong. Now that he thought about it, he felt very bad.
Especially at this time, even his own wife said such things.
"Madam, you also know that my eldest brother treated me very well back then. Ling'er is his only bloodline. I can't ignore it." General Tong's head was getting bigger. "My child doesn't understand me. How can you still not understand me?"
Mrs. Tong said: "Yes, your eldest brother was kind to you in the past, and she is a bloodline of the Tong family. There are no relatives in her lineage anymore. We should raise her as we should, but at least she knows how to be grateful and how to behave. , not to cause our family to be in a state of chaos."
"You don't want to go out and ask what the outside world says about our family. We raised her for a while, and we didn't lack food and clothing for her. But no one outside said that our family bullied her. She was pitiful. We hid her. With bad intentions.”
Mrs. Tong really hated Tong Ling'er to death. One was her reputation, and the other was using favors from Duke Jinning's house. These two things she couldn't bear.
"And you, you actually begged the old lady for her! Do you know what this means? It means that we have used up a favor!" Madam Tong almost gritted her teeth,
"Do you really not know how important this favor is? It's not like we haven't encountered difficulties in these years. You and I have gritted our teeth and persevered. We feel that this favor should be used where it should be used."
"Your future, your children's future, and marriage, or if something bad happens one day, why don't you ask for help!"
"You actually used favors for her!"
Mrs. Tong's expression was slightly distorted, and her anger could not go away.
It was the first time that General Tong saw her getting so angry, so he quickly explained: "Madam, calm down, isn't this thing a failure? Me too, me too..."
"You think there is no need for favors if you have no achievements. This has already been recorded there." Mrs. Tong snorted coldly, "Tong Feng, I have made it clear to you. Since you regard her as more important than our mother and son, Both of them are heavy, so let’s live with her.”
Mrs. Tong angrily threw away her sleeves and returned to the courtyard where she lived. She ordered her maid to pack a few clothes and then go to her eldest daughter's house. Her eldest son-in-law, Feng Mao, had no one at home and was often in the military camp, so she was very welcome as her mother-in-law. past.
Feng Mao was the son of a general when the Ninghe Army was first established. When Duke Ning of Jin led the Ninghe Army to pacify the world, they also suffered countless deaths. After the world was pacified, Duke Ning of Jincheng wrote a letter saying that he would give death to those who died on the battlefield. The heroes make some compensation to take good care of their parents, wives and children.
If the child was raised by someone at home, some monetary compensation would be given. If no one was willing to raise the child, he would be brought back to be raised. The emperor agreed. After Duke Ning of Jincheng sent someone to search for the child, he brought back dozens of children. Raised by the country.
Later, Duke Ning of Jincheng came up with the idea of arranging their future and dividing them into two groups. If they wanted to study, they would be arranged to go to school. If they wanted to join the army like their fathers, they would be arranged to start training.
This can be regarded as cultivating talents for the country.
Feng Mao is one of the best. He joined the Ninghe Army when he was a teenager. Now he is a young general. The Ninghe Army is the strongest army in Dong Zhao. He can reach this position and he is naturally very promising. of.
Feng Mao's grandparents were gone long ago. After his father died in the war, his mother ran away with the family's money. It was only because the villagers took pity on him that they gave him food from one family to another, so he didn't starve to death until Jinning. The public man came to find him.
Mrs. Tong had taken a fancy to him in the past, mainly because she thought he had a good heart and was a good son. She didn't know he could be so promising at the time, and her three sons and daughter all liked this brother-in-law.
General Tong chased after her and saw her packing her things to leave. He was also anxious: "Madam, madam, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Run away so that it doesn't disturb your eyes."
"Madam, if you are dissatisfied with anything, just say it, why bother..."
"Go away!" Mrs. Tong's face turned ugly. "I was going to Shuixian's house. Shuixian ran over and she didn't know what happened. If you stop me, do you really think you don't want your daughter anymore?"
General Tong choked, thought for a while and finally gave in: "The lady will stay for a few days and then she will be brought back and tell her not to be a child. She is a grown up girl."
Mrs. Tong snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him. She took her maid out and took a carriage to go to Feng's house. Feng's house was not far from here, but in another area. Most of the courtyards here were three-in-one, and she also took a small child with her. garden.
The yard on the Feng family's side is much smaller. It is a two-entry yard with only an outer yard and an inner yard. There are only so many rooms in the house, let alone a garden.
This yard was bought with Feng Mao's years of savings, Tong Shuixian's dowry, and some subsidies from Mrs. Tong.
In the past, Mrs. Tong cared that Tong Ling'er was a bloodline of the Tong family, and because of General Tong, her children would suffer a little loss. As long as the matter was not too big, she would not think of dealing with Tong Ling'er.
But it's different now. Tong Ling'er begged General Tong to use the Jinning Palace's favor to make her angry. Moreover, she had bad intentions. She even dared to jump into a lake in order to marry a man. This was not forced. Will he marry her?
If such a person stays in the Tong family, he might cause trouble.
Mrs. Tong plans to fall out with Tong Ling'er, and even wants to take back everything that happened over the years to let her know why the flower is so red.
