Tang Yu took the money and hurried out to do business.
Zheng cried out in pain, "There is only so little left, how can I live like this! Why is my life so miserable! That Ke is really heartless, vicious and insidious, he lives in a big house and eats the best food, but makes us live such a miserable life!"
Originally, they were still hoping for the best, thinking that Ke Yunyun was just having a bad temper with Tang Yu, and that they would reconcile after a while. By then, they would learn their lesson, take it slow, and they would definitely not be kicked out again.
As a result, Ke Yunyun didn't give them any chance at all.
Tang Yu gradually got used to this hard life. According to his words, he used to sleep on the streets when he was wandering around, but now he is very content with the conditions now.
Tang Yu was content, but they didn't want to live this kind of life at all.
"Mom, why don't we go back to the countryside!" Yang gritted her teeth and spoke her mind so bluntly for the first time. Seeing Zheng unwilling to give in, she said earnestly, "I know that mom doesn't want to leave this prosperous place, and I don't want to either, but my uncle's situation is so bad that I guess you will have to support him in the future. Can your little coffin instinct withstand my uncle's use of it?
If you are unwilling to help, and my uncle is really forced to stay in the imperial capital, won't we still have to go back to the countryside? At that time, I will have to support my uncle, and the child's father is just a farmer, how can he support so many mouths?"
The more Yang spoke, the sadder she became. Zheng finally came to her senses and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After crying, Zheng's face was filled with sorrow. "Do you think the second son can get back together with Ke?"
Tang Yu's life is really hard. After all, he is her son, and she wouldn't be so heartless as to not worry about him.
Yang was speechless. "Mother, we can no longer control the affairs between my uncle and Mrs. Ke. We'd better go back to the countryside and not cause trouble for my uncle. After we leave, my uncle can go to Mrs. Ke to ask for mercy. Maybe Mrs. Ke will calm down and live with my uncle."
She now had only one thought in mind, which was to not let Tang Yu return to the countryside to compete with them for the house and land, as those were to be left to her descendants.
Zheng was persuaded by Yang, and when Tang Yu came back in the evening, she took the initiative to ask for return home.
Tang Yu's face turned pale, and he knelt down and begged, "Mom, you have worked hard to raise me, and I really want to serve you and take care of you until the end of your life. Please give me a chance."
Zheng was sad and heartbroken to see Tang Yu like this, and she felt a little disappointed with him. "You can't even support yourself, so how can you take care of me in my old age? Mother has finally understood that this imperial capital is not a place for ordinary people to stay. If you hadn't married Ke, you would probably still be struggling to make ends meet. I won't mess up your life any more.
After we leave, go and beg Madam Ke to apologize to her. For the sake of the child, Madam Ke may be soft-hearted. As long as you are well, mother will be satisfied."
Zheng was really grateful that Tang Yu and Ke Yunyun had two children. If Ke Yunyun had not given birth, Tang Yu would have had no chance.
Tang Yu was unwilling to give up and kept trying to persuade Zheng to stay, even kneeling outside Zheng's door for a whole night, saying whatever he could to make Zheng stay.
His attitude actually frightened Zheng and Yang, who felt even more that Tang Yu really couldn't make it any longer and was still counting on them for help.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed their luggage faster.
The next day, Zheng opened the door and saw Tang Yu still kneeling outside, refusing to let her leave. Zheng was scared to death.
When the neighbors who came to watch the fun learned that Tang Yu had knelt for a whole night to keep his old mother, they all praised him for his filial piety and sincerity, and some even helped Tang Yu to stop the people.
Yang was so angry that she cursed at them, and finally fled with her daughter, not even daring to ask Tang Yu for money.
When Zheng saw that her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter had left, she quickly pushed her neighbors away and ran after them.
Tang Yu was worried that they might get into trouble as they were unfamiliar with the place, so he chased after them.
In Yang's eyes, Tang Yu was going to take them back. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she kept urging the driver to hurry up.
Tang Yu chased all the way to the city gate and stopped panting, holding on to the wall.
Yang looked back and saw that Tang Yu had been left far behind. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Zheng, "Mom, did you bring the silver with you?"
Zheng nodded with a troubled look on her face, "I took five taels, and didn't take the rest of A-Yu's salary."
She originally wanted to take it all away, but she was worried that her youngest son might not be able to make ends meet without money, so she had to keep the remaining three and a half ounces.
Yang was dissatisfied, but then she thought that if all the money was really taken away, Tang Yu would be in trouble and might even have to go back to the countryside, so she stopped talking.
At the city gate.
As soon as Tang Yu recovered and turned around, he saw Ke Yunyun's carriage parked on the side, looking at him with an angry look.
"Why don't you come up? Do you really want to live in that broken yard forever?"
Tang Yu burst out laughing. Even though he looked disheveled, he remained calm and composed.
After getting on the carriage, he told the driver, "Go to where I live first to pack my luggage and send it back to my house."
Ke Yunyun raised her eyebrows, "Do you have any luggage?"
Tang Yu was somewhat helpless. "I bought some dry food yesterday and originally wanted to let them take it away, but they were very cautious about me and left as quickly as if they were fleeing. I didn't even have a chance to speak."
Ke Yunyun couldn't help but feel distressed when she heard this, and pouted angrily, "I think it's best to leave them alone in the future! The money you sent to the countryside over the years is enough for them to live comfortably.
People are always greedy. If you keep giving them money and suddenly stop paying them, they will definitely complain and may even travel all the way to the imperial capital to ask you for money. It is better to take this opportunity to completely cut off the money transactions.
If they dare to continue to come and make trouble, I will continue to let you lead them through a hard life. I want to see if they are afraid!"
Seeing that Ke Yunyun was determined to punish those people in the Tang family, Tang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I understand what you said. This time I also took the opportunity to find out what they were thinking. If they could have any warmth towards me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to agree to you so readily.
But they really disappoint me! Just do as you said, and no longer send money to the countryside. I will send food and cloth back every three to five years. It's enough for my mother to eat and live. I can't take care of other things."
He had already paid off what he owed his parents and elder brother. Now his nephews were all in school, and the income from the land was enough to support their expenses, so he didn't need to do anything anymore.
After the couple finished discussing it, Ke Yunyun took the opportunity to talk about Ke Mingyue's marriage.
"I agree to Mingyue and Xiongfeng's marriage. After Yuezhang gets married, I will let her follow the caravan to Zhaohua County. Jiafu and Tang will also go with her. When Mingyue gets married, Jiafu and Tang will return to the Icefield together and stay away from those shameless people in the Tang family."
Tang Yu saw Ke Yunyun's face turn pale, and his eyes darkened, "Is the Tang family here to cause trouble?" (End of this chapter)
