Tong Family reared two goats, so they could milk them anytime they wanted.

The goat milk today was specially hand-milked by Tong Sanlang. He had added almonds to it to neutralize the smell. After cooking a small pot, the remaining milk was left unattended since it was not finished at noon.

Now Zhu Hongyun was giving Tong Sanlang a stern look because of this trivial matter. Tong Tiehu naturally got angry. What petty family squabbles!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyun immediately felt wronged, “I’m doing this for Sanlang’s sake. He’s young, and 1 fear he might be seduced by unscrupulous women.”

“Who he takes a liking to is none of your concern. He’s grown up, and he can’t even handle a bit of goat’s milk?” Tong Tiehu snorted heavily, very dissatisfied with Zhu Hongyun’s previous questioning.

Tong Erlang noticing his wife being reprimanded again, couldn’t help but defend her, “She’s just being frugal. Even though our family is better off than others, it doesn’t mean we can just give stuff away”

“Shut up! So now you know the value of things. What about earlier when you would just throw away food that you didn’t want to eat?!” Tong Tiehu glared at him, “And you will join in the wheat harvest, if I catch you slacking off, I’ll break your legs.”

Tong Erlang was starting to feel heated from these words, “Grandfather, why do you prioritize a girl of bad repute over Xiaoyun and 1?”

Is this even necessary?

For a lowly girl who had nothing to do with them, wasn’t the punishment they had to endure over the past few days enough?

Who exactly has the Tong family name?

As for Tong Sanlang, he usually shows little interest in girls, but he now makes an exception for Qiao Xiaomai. If this isn’t because of some interest in Qiao Xiaomai, then what is it?

What his wife said wasn’t wrong. What was grandfather yelling about?

“What nonsense!” Tong Tiehu was truly enraged, about to curse loudly, but Tong Sanlang hurriedly stopped him, “Grandpa, don’t get mad, let’s talk slowly.”

“I don’t need you to play the peacekeeper,” snapped Tong Erlang. He swiftly approached the kitchen door, grabbed Zhu Hongyun’s arm and turned toward the courtyard gate, “Since this family doesn’t appreciate us, we’ll go to the town to find our parents.”

Tong Family’s parents lived at the vinegar shop in the town with Tong Dalang. Tong Erlang had been feeling suffocated these few days. Seeing Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang talking in unison, he couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to go to the town to seek justice from his parents overnight.

Zhu Hongyun had this thought for a while but dared not voice it. When Tong Erlang finally came around to this idea, she silently rejoiced and followed quietly behind him.

“Brother and sister-in-law, wait a moment.” Tong Sanlang was taken aback by his actions. He hurriedly tried to stop them.

“Don’t go!” Tong Tiehu stopped him with cold sternness, “If they want to leave, let them. Humph, ingrates!”

It was simply goat milk, didn’t his grandson have the right to deal with it?

He had clearly warned them earlier not to make up nonsense about Qiao Xiaomai or even mention her and Tong Sanlang together. Yet, Zhu Hongyun was spreading rumors out of nowhere.

Having done wrong, they dared play the runaway game. Tong Tiehu’s face darkened, “What has a good child turned into? I knew this would happen, he should have never married Erlang’s wife!”

Although Tong Erlang had been lazy earlier, he still had a decent nature.

But ever since he started being with Zhu Hongyun, whenever he made a mistake, instead of reflecting on it, he started clashing with him, “While he hasn’t completely deviated, 1 must set him straight this time!”

Tong Sanlang frowned, “Grandpa, you’re being too harsh.”

Tong Erlang was stubborn, so explaining gently was the way forward, not harsh scolding..
