Chapter 298 The Young Lady from a Wealthy Family
Tang Erhe could only smile awkwardly.
Then Mrs. Hu enthusiastically pulled him home, and the crowd surrounded them and went over.
So, this is why Tang Qingshan chose to build a workshop in such a place.
Country people, especially those from the same clan, are much simpler and more direct than outsiders. They don't think too much about etiquette and rules, nor do they care much about avoiding suspicion. They don't think twice before speaking, and they don't care about face or dignity.
They are very simple: if you bring me benefits and feed me, I will protect you and fight for you.
Therefore, when he hired a teacher for the tribe and was about to open a workshop, he would always be right in front of his fellow tribesmen, and everyone would look at his face when speaking. If the same thing happened in the past, everyone would say, "He is your brother after all!" and would definitely try to reconcile the two.
But now, he doesn't care, he doesn't pay attention, no one says he is wrong, everyone just pulls the person away, and he doesn't feel bothered at all.
Tang Erhe and his companion were pushed and shoved to the Hu family.
The only one who is happy here is Tang Zhaodi.
The beautiful dream she had had for so long finally came true. Even though she had an extra mother, it didn’t affect her happiness at all! What she cared about was that her father’s carriage was so luxurious! The tall horse! Her father was wearing such luxurious clothes that it dazzled her eyes. She didn’t even know how much silver it was worth! Why did Second Mother have so many hairpins on her head? Why did she have so many hairpins? How much silver did each one cost? ! In the future, would she be able to buy so many hairpins and wear such beautiful skirts?
Is she finally going to live the good life that everyone envies?
She was shaking with joy, and imitating the spoiled children in the village, she grabbed Tang Erhe's hand and skipped back home.
Then she said to him happily: "Dad, wait for me, I'll pack my things!!"
Chen said kindly, "Dear brother, there's no need to pack. We can buy it later!"
Tang Zhaodi was delighted and said obediently, "Thank you, Second Mother."
Seeing that Mrs. Hu was smiling from ear to ear, she was actually a little unhappy. She wanted to take out her clothes and not let them get away with it even if they were torn up or burned. But she was afraid of offending Second Lady, so she endured it, followed her, and then bravely held Second Lady's hand.
When Chen took the muddy hand, her face froze, but she didn't pull her hand away. She smiled and said, "Go ahead, Zhaodi. Go wait in the carriage."
While winking at Tang Erhe.
Brother Tang said immediately, "Aunt Hu, please take care of our little brother. We came in a hurry and didn't buy anything. Use this little money to buy candy for the child."
As he spoke, he took out two ten-liang silver notes from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu was very sharp-eyed. She saw at once that it was a banknote and was immediately overjoyed: "It's okay, it's okay. We are just fellow villagers. What's the big deal?"
As he spoke, he grabbed it.
Tang Zhaodi turned around and saw this. She immediately became anxious. She turned around quickly, ran over, snatched the banknote back, and screamed, "Dad! You don't have to give her money! They are not nice to me at all!"
Mrs. Hu was stunned.
She didn't snatch it back, and was worried about the money. She was also angry about what she said, and said angrily: "Zhao Di, what do you mean by that? I dare to say with all my heart that I really didn't treat you unfairly at all!!"
She said this without feeling guilty at all! Although she didn't necessarily like Tang Zhaodi that much, she didn't abuse her at all for the sake of Tang Qingshan and the silver, and because her daughter-in-law scolded her every day! She really treated her like a guest! ! Others were also talking about it.
Mrs. Hu is foul-mouthed and troublesome, and is indeed not a good person, but she loves children, and everyone in the village knows it.
Tang Zhaodi snorted, stuffed the banknote back to Tang Erhe, and rolled her eyes: "You ask me to wash clothes and light the fire every day, and wash the dishes for the whole family in the cold weather, and you still say you don't torture me!!"
Tang Erhe hesitated a bit, but he actually pinched it.
Mrs. Hu was so angry that she was shaking. "You are such a heartless girl! The clothes you washed are your own clothes. You have never washed anyone else's clothes! What's the matter? I am old, and you still want me to wash your clothes?"
"Also, what's wrong with me asking you to light the fire? Don't you see me and my wife, Dabao and Xiaobao, chopping wood and carrying water in the winter without stopping? Who is idle? You don't do anything every day, and you lie down in the room after eating. What's wrong? Are you a daughter of a wealthy family? Can't you eat every day?"
Someone laughed and said, "Do you think you are Tang Sanshui? Do you also want a small mirror tomb?"
"Hahaha, yes, but Tang Sanshui has his own mother to serve him!"
"You don't have the fate of Tang Sanshui, but you still want to learn Tang Sanshui's illness!!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen was almost going crazy in the back.
For just twenty taels of silver, they made such a fuss!! How shallow are they!!
She stabbed Tang Erhe hard.
Tang Erhe subconsciously turned around and wanted to follow.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Chen's eyes widened with anger. She grabbed the banknote, took two steps forward, and handed it back to Mrs. Hu, forcing a smile as she said, "Don't be offended. This child has no parents and no one to teach him. He can't speak. We all know how much you care about the child, and we are all very grateful!"
Mrs. Hu didn't care what she said, she only cared about the silver. When she saw her hand it back, she quickly took it and stuffed it into her waistband. When she felt it was safe, she said, "It's okay. I have silver, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Chen couldn't hold back her smile anymore, and turned around and said, "Zhaodi, why don't you apologize to Granny Hu?"
Zhaodi was stunned and looked at Tang Erhe.
Seeing Tang Erhe's stiff face, he immediately knew what was going on.
It seems that Dad is not happy either. Well, Second Mother is a woman, and she has to show up in front of men and be the head of the family. She is not as good at pleasing as her mother.
So, like a daughter who is loyal to her father, she rushed over, hugged Tang Erhe, and cried, "Why! Why! Second Mother, although I am not your daughter, I am Dad's daughter! I was wronged, and no one stood up for me when Dad was not around, so I could only endure it. Now that Dad and you are here, why don't you support me and let me continue to suffer the grievances? If you don't feel sorry for me, you should at least feel sorry for my dad!!"
Chen's face turned pale with anger.
She was of course very familiar with this trick of putting on eye drops, but she never expected that such a simple girl would dare to use this trick on her! !
Seeing her angry, Tang Zhaodi's eyes were filled with pride. She forced out two bubbles of tears, twisted her waist, and held Tang Erhe's hand: "Dad, you don't know, these people are not good people. They only know how to side with Tang Qingshan every day. They forced my mother to death and bullied me, an orphan. I was bullied so badly by them..."
As soon as Tang Qingshan was mentioned, more than one person spoke up: "I think you are not just an orphan, but also an ungrateful person! Your uncle only gives you one tael of silver a month, which is enough to support a spoiled young lady, but he has made her full of resentment!"
"That family is full of ungrateful people! Do you think she is a good person?"
"Uncle Qingshan shouldn't have cared about her. It would have been better if she died with that family!"
Tang Zhaodi said, "Dad, listen to this! Listen to this! They dared to bully me in front of you, and Second Mother even asked me to apologize... Humph!"
Chen laughed angrily.
She was too lazy to pretend, and said coldly: "I don't want an ungrateful child. It's okay if you don't apologize, but don't follow me."
Tang Erhe panicked and said anxiously, "You, don't be angry!" He pushed Tang Zhaodi away and was about to follow.
