Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: But This is the Best Outcome

“Of course it’s unfair!” Tong Er’lang burst out, “That treasure, you hid it from us, alright, you hid it, but you lost the treasure! It affected the whole family!”

Tong Tiehu looked at him, calmly opening his mouth to ask, “I ask you, the good times you’ve had in the past nineteen years, who provided them for you? Was it because you were born, that our family immediately had fields and shops?”

Tong Er’lang’s face turned red for a moment, he was no god, how could he have been born with such a miracle.

Seeing that he couldn’t speak, Tong Tiehu looked at the Qian matron, “Wife, I ask you, the several decades of good times you’ve had since you married into this family, who provided them for you?”

Mrs. Qian stammered, unable to answer.

When Tong Tiehu married her, Daqi had just been established not long ago, and most families in this area were poor.

When the Tong Family fled to here, they had a small savings and the craftsmanship to make vinegar. Such a family was hard to find, so when the matchmaker came to propose, she happily married into the family.

Life after marriage was as she had imagined, at first she even worked in the fields, but later life got better and better, she only needed to cook and do housework, and never worked in the fields again.

For farmers who struggled for food in the land, this was a rare blessing.

Moreover, she only gave birth to one son, Tong Xingda.

One son was too few, every family in the village had several, but Tong Tiehu never blamed her for anything, he still treated her as usual.

So she had always been quite fortunate, her belly was not competitive, she was not particularly capable nor was she especially beautiful, but her life has always been comfortable and satisfactory.

Now, faced with Tong Tiehu’s question, she opened her mouth, unable to speak a word.

The good times she had enjoyed over the past few decades were all provided by Tong Tiehu…

Seeing that Qian matron was also silent, Tong Tiehu looked at Tong Da’lang, “Nowyou say, the good times you’ve had in the past twenty-one years, who provided them for you.”

Tong Da’lang, with a simple and honest face, he smiled, “It was Grandpa.”

He was the eldest grandson of the Tong family, and had been in charge of the vinegar shop since getting married, living comfortably in the town for several years.

“So it was me who provided it for you. Now, due to my negligence, the treasure is lost. As a result, the Emperor Emeritus has decreed to confiscate everything. So you all feel aggrieved, right?”

“Of course it’s unfair. Father, we were living such good lives, then, all of a sudden, disaster struck. Anyone would feel resentment,” the Zhang Family started to speak.

Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu looked at her, “That’s what it means to be a family. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family has to suffer. Just like Qiao Chang’an, he got into trouble and as a result his two daughters were sold into slavery.”

“Our home now has no shops, fields, or savings, but we still have thousands of jin of foodgrains. We still have the skill to make vinegar, and you all still have some money hidden away. Life will be harder than before, but it is absolutely not the end.”

“The good times before were given by me, now the good times require us to earn them together.”

“It’s normal to feel resentment, but remember, I’m still the Chief of Anping Village, still the head of this family. Our family, will not collapse.”

“As long as we unite as one, it’s only a matter of time before our family returns to how we used to be.”

Faced with this situation, Tong Tiehu was prepared.

Anyone who encountered such a situation would feel uncomfortable, he understood the resentment of these people.

But, this is already a good outcome, isn’t it?
