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

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Treasure, Didn’t You Keep Some for Yourself?

At first, he was furious about Liuli, his stepmother’s manipulation.

Exceedingly furious.

All his life, hardship, mental stress, and trepidation had kept him company.

Towards the end, Yang Wenxiao informed him that all this was part of Liuli’s plan to help the Yang Family eradicate the Aristocratic Families.

He had spent his entire life being manipulated by Liuli.

This woman caused his mother to die in depression, his father to die in battle, and deceived him his entire life.

But, when he calmed down and pondered the situation, his hatred started to waver.

His father, Gu Yu, had encouraged him to rebel.

But Liuli secretly made plans to aid Yang Wenxiao.

Comparative to the rebellion his father, Gu Yu, left him in his will, he preferred Liuli’s plan of openly rebelling while clandestinely aiding the Yang family. Could rebellion easily succeed?

The Yang Family had gunpowder and armored cavalry, but what did the Tong Family have?

All they had was a treasure, and a small amount of influence gained through alliances with the Tong Liu and the Right Premier.

Could these taken alone, usurp Mount Jiang?

Without Liuli’s plan, when Yang Wenxiao found out, would he have merely issued a decree to seize the Tong Family’s assets?

No, Yang Wenxiao would have undoubtedly wielded a cleaver.

He did not understand the last wish that his father wanted him to fulfill, nor did he know what had transpired during the fight for Mount Jiang.

Because of his ignorance, he did not harbor a deep-seated hatred towards the Yang Family.

So, he was content with how things had turned out.

Everyone was alive for now. Once the treasure was found, Yang Wenxiao would return his fortune. Moreover, if they were successful in eradicating the Aristocratic Families, then considering his link to Liuli, Yang Wenxiao would likely reward his family.

This light outcome was significantly better than the bloody rebelion.

The huge burden that had weighed on him for fifty years was finally lifted.

He could now live out his days peacefully as an ordinary old man without fear, no longer racking his brain about how to seize Mount Jiang.

So, what could this tiny dilemma amount to?

It didn’t amount to anything.

There was food at home, and capabilities of making vinegar. Definitely survivable!

The consecutive thoughts running through Tong Tiehu’s mind were unknown to people like the Qian and the Zhang families; they couldn’t possibly let it slide merely based on his statement in the face of the current situation.

Deception, this was a tremendous deception.

Had they known that the Tong Family hid such secrets, they would’ve definitely not married into the family!

“Father, isn’t this kind of thing considered deception?” the woman from the Zhang Family spoke again.

Tong Tiehu looked at her, “Yes, not telling you the whole truth when you got married to Xingda was deception.”

“Only just deception, that’s it?” the woman from the Zhang Family asked.

“What else do you want to say?” Tong Tiehu inquired.

Hearing this, the silent Tong Xingda frowned and opened his mouth, “What are you trying to do?”

Tong Xingda was also annoyed.

From now on, the Tong Family would be nothing more than an ordinary household; they had lost the treasure and could no longer rebel. He was nothing more than a country bumpkin, yet he had once dreamed of becoming Emperor!

On hearing this, the woman from the Zhang Family glared at him immediately, “After all these years, you did not let even a single word slip!”

“You’re a woman. Your job was to take care of the children. What good would it have done to tell you? Maybe you would have blurted it out one day. Was this something to blurt out?”

“Yes, this is definitely not something to blurt out. But given the current situation, tell me, what are we going to do!” After being shouted at by Tong Xingda, the woman from the Zhang family lost some steam, but she was still far from her usual gentle demeanor.

Coming face-to-face with this situation, the fact that she hadn’t lost her sanity was a testament to her mental fortitude.

According to Tong Xingda, she wasn’t even allowed to complain anymore; was she still supposed to live?

“What do you propose we do?” Tong Xingda asked impatiently.

“Of course, we should ask father, you, and Sanlang. After hoarding whatever treasures for all these years, did you not secretly save something?”
