Chapter 12 Ask Tong Xiayue to borrow money
"What is the old Tong family quarreling about? Are they fighting?"
"Hey, isn't it because old man Tong is partial to the third grandson? He wants to build a new house for him to marry a wife! Wang Aiqin from the second grandson's family is not happy!" "
That's right! I wouldn't want to do it either! Old man Tong is too partial!"
"That's right! The third grandson is such a bad boy, but he is usually well fed and well-drinked! If it were my child, he would have starved to death long ago!"
"No one in the Tong family is worry-free. That girl Xiayue from the Tong family caused so many troubles before, but she is lucky to marry into the secretary's family!"
"Of course! The secretary's family is all good. If she can live a good life with Jiashu, she won't have to worry about her future."
"Look, everyone in the family is fighting like this, and look at what the third brother Hongwen is shouting over there? He doesn't even know how to stop the fight!"
………………
It was just time to get off work, and the villagers heard that there was a fight in the Tong family, so they all ran to watch the excitement.
Tong Baotian saw Tong Zhaodi and Wang Aiqin fighting, and he was so angry that he kept humming: "How could the Tong family produce two useless things like you! Fighting at the door, you don't feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed!"
The two fought for a long time, and probably because they were exhausted, they slowly let go of each other and sat on the ground panting.
Tong Hongwen saw that the fight was over, and also walked into the house.
Wang Aiqin came to her senses after resting for a while. Seeing that the yard was surrounded by people in three layers, she shouted outside in annoyance: "Have you ever seen a quarrel? Just do what you need to do!"
Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, the villagers dispersed.
Wang Aiqun got up and walked into the house. She looked at Old Man Tong who was sitting on a bench and gasping for breath in anger and said, "Grandpa! You can't be so partial. I have no objection to you building a house, but you must give our second son two rooms! Wenqing is ten years old this year. He is a big boy and can't sleep with us all the time!"
Tong Baotian stood up with the help of crutches: "I also want each of you to have a room! What should I do if the money is
not enough?!" Wang Aiqun complained, "The Xingye couple have saved a lot for you over the years, and Xia Yue got a betrothal gift of 600 yuan for her wedding. Isn't it enough?"
In fact, this money was enough to build a two-story small house, but Tong Baotian wanted to save some privately for his old age. He saw that they couldn't rely on these little ones, none of them were useful.
Tong Baotian seemed to have his pain points pointed out, and he shouted: "Does this family have to eat and use things for free? Can money make money if it is just sitting there? You guys don't make money, so the money will naturally be less and less!"
Tong Hongwen realized that Old Man Tong was planning to build a wedding house for him, which made his second sister-in-law unhappy...
He thought that since Old Man Tong was on his side, he would not get involved in this matter, and just let them quarrel, he would not suffer any loss.
Tong Zhaodi also walked in. She reacted after the quarrel just now. If this pace continued, he might have no place to live.
Tong Zhaodi: "Grandpa, if we really have no money, we can go and borrow some from Xia Yue! Didn't she marry into the secretary's family? The secretary's family is well off, so they will definitely be able to get money!"
Wang Aiqin clapped her hands and cheered: "Yes! Grandpa, let's go and borrow from Xia Yue! She is not a member of the Tong family. She has eaten the Tong family's food for so many years, why shouldn't she repay the favor now!"
Tong Baotian also thought it made sense, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by his grandmother Xu Guixiang. interrupted: "Xia Yue just got married, and you went to borrow money from her. How can she hold her head up in the secretary's family!"
Tong Baotian looked at Xu Guixiang with his eyes wide open: "You old woman, why do you care about her! Married people are like water spilled on the ground! It is true that you only care about getting the money, how she lives is her fate!"
However, thinking that the other party is the secretary's family, he did not dare to be too rash, and thought about solving this matter quickly before the secretary's family came back.
Tong Zhaodi's face changed when she heard what Old Man Tong said. It was really hurtful to hear these words...
Xu Guixiang had always felt sorry for this granddaughter. She had never enjoyed a single day of happiness since she was a child. Now she was finally married. With her background, she would probably not be treated well by her husband's family. Now she had to borrow money from the Tong family. How could she live like this...
The old lady had never had a say at home. Tong Baotian had the final say at home. Whatever he said was the final word. Therefore, he agreed to borrow money from Tong Xiayue now. No one could object...
After that, the family walked in unison towards Secretary Ji's house...
