Mrs. Tong arrived at Feng's house, hugging her little grandson who was only five or six months old. She couldn't get rid of her anger: "I want to stay in your house for a few more days. If anyone asks, you just say that my parents' family really can't live in it anymore. I He was forced to take refuge in his daughter.”
"I just happened to come over to take care of your child."
There are not many servants in the Tong family, only ten in total, and even less in the Feng family, only three. One is Tong Shuixian's personal maid before she left the palace, one is a cook and wash woman, and the other is The man who helped guard the gate was a middle-aged man who was missing an eye after retreating from the battlefield.
In this way, the child will be taken care of by Tong Shuixian himself and his maid.
Tong Shuixian paused after hearing this: "If this word spreads, Tong Ling'er may be in bad luck."
Regardless of the grievances between the two parties, if Mrs. Tong moved directly to the Feng family and said such words, everyone would think that Tong Ling'er was causing trouble, and would exclude the head of the Tong family and her uncle. .
Moreover, the Tong family adopted her and were kind to her.
In this way, Tong Ling'er is afraid that she will have a reputation of being ungrateful, disrespectful to her elders, causing restlessness at home, and discord between her husband and wife.
Mrs. Tong didn't want to have sex with a little girl like Tong Ling'er before. Although her children had suffered some grievances, they didn't know how to judge the situation and beat them when they were itchy. They only thought that Tong Ling'er belonged to these people. Whetstone.
If she is really serious, she occupies the position of elder, and none of the three Tong Ling'er can be her opponent.
For example, as long as she stays in Feng's house and lets Tong Shuixian complain to the neighbors, when word gets out, everyone will accuse Tong Ling'er of having such a bad reputation. Don't even think about having a good marriage, this life is over.
Tong Fu said: "It's bad luck. She knows what she has done in these years. We will always get it back."
Tong Shuixian asked her: "What did dad say?"
"He, since he is willing to be with Tong Ling'er, you can let them fall in love with each other. We don't care about him. Just pretend that you don't have this father."
Mrs. Tong told about General Tong's request to Mrs. Wang for Tong Ling'er, and the expressions of Tong Shuixian and Tong Shuilian also changed.
Tong Shuilian was so angry that she almost jumped up: "Why is he like this? Is it possible that Cheng Cheng doesn't care about our life and death? This is us..."
This is their family's only escape route and reliance!
Tong Shuilian's eyes turned red. A little girl like her knew how important this favor was and should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. However, her father used this favor for Tong Ling'er.
The Tongfu said: "Speaking of which, this favor belongs to your grandfather, and she also has a share, but it is our family that has maintained the relationship for so many years. Why should she? Since she has made our life unhappy, she will not be happy either."
But Tong Shuixian had a worry: "Mom, what if her reputation is bad and she can't get married and stays in Tong's family?"
"Can't you get married?" Mrs. Tong sneered, "Next year, even if you can't get married, you have to get married. This girl is destined to get married and can't tolerate her not getting married. It's not easy for the Tong family to raise her for so many years. Is it possible that we still have to marry her? Will she serve her like an ancestor for the rest of her life?"
"Let her choose by herself when the time comes. If she can't choose, don't blame me for choosing one for her."
“A good reputation has its own way of matching a good reputation, and a bad reputation has its own way of matching a bad reputation.”
Tong Shuixian understood what he said. If you have a good reputation, it will be easier to marry her. If your reputation is bad, then you can just pick a crooked girl and marry her off. Always lower your requirements and you won't be unable to get married.
Mrs. Tong said: "She is a smart person who is always misled by her cleverness. Since she is dependent on others, she can just be a transparent person and make a living. However, she wants to be the best and has to compete with you for your favor. I don’t even care about my identity.”
"If she had the heart to get along well with you, she would be able to become a family after so many years. Even if she doesn't have much affection, you are still related by blood, and you can help with anything in the future."
"But over the years, she has used her cleverness to frame you for countless things, big and small. Let alone the relationship between sisters and brothers, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are enemies."
Tong Ling'er's self-righteous cleverness in these years has actually been a big mistake. She has offended the brothers and sisters who can support her in the future. She is an orphan, and when she gets married in the future, no one will do anything to bully her. Support her.
As for General Tong, although he does prefer Tong Ling'er to care for him, Tong Ling'er has turned against the rest of the Tong family. When the time comes, will he want a wife, children, or a grandniece like this?
Is this still a choice?
Besides, General Tong will also grow old and will not be able to protect her forever.
Tong Shuixian stretched out her hand to tease the child and smiled: "She has bad thoughts to begin with. Leave her alone. From now on, she will be treated as if she does not exist. You and Shuilian will stay with me for now. I will send someone to come over later and ask the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to Brother, please come over too, the three brothers can fit in the same kang."
The winter here in the Imperial City is very cold, and the powerful clans burn earth dragons. Ordinary families cannot afford it, so they can only burn kangs, which can also save a lot of firewood.
"As for dad, mom, don't be soft-hearted and agree to his return. If our family is in trouble like this, he has a great responsibility. If he comes to pick you up, tell him to marry Tong Ling'er. If Otherwise you won’t go back.”
Mrs. Tong patted her thigh and thought it was good: "It's really time to marry her off. After she gets married, our family will be at peace. We just take this opportunity."
Tong Shuixian was a little worried: "Now is the time when the results of the imperial examination are about to come out. I am really worried that she will cause some shameful things to find a good marriage for myself."
Mrs. Tong calmed down and felt that this was also a problem. Tong Ling'er even jumped into a lake in order to marry Shi Huixin. If something happened again, it wouldn't be a shame.
Tong Shuixian said: "The current plan is to find someone to keep an eye on her. It is better to ask my father to send someone to keep an eye on her, so that my father can take a good look at what his grandniece is."
"OK."
The mother and daughter of the Tong family discussed it. Not long after, Tong Shuixian went out to buy groceries with red eyes. Someone who lived in the same alley asked her what was wrong, and she said that her mother and sister were here, and that her mother and sister were here. There is no place for them anymore. I don’t know what Feng Mao thinks if they want to live here forever.
Others asked why there was no place for them in the family, so Tong Shuixian told the story about Tong Ling'er, the grievances they had suffered over the years, and how Tong Ling'er pretended to be weak and pitiful to be pitied by others. It’s not the Tong family’s fault.
Now, because she wanted to marry a student and she didn't agree, she jumped into the lake to force her family to help. Her father and mother quarreled endlessly, making the family restless.
