The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Tong Dahai simply sighed, then said in a low voice, "Can't we still get some money from Fu Xiaotong?"

"Look at your daughter, she's already joined the Zhang family, she's become the young mistress, she must have a lot of money now."

You already wanted it before, so don't worry. With Fu Xiaotong there, our Tiger will definitely be able to afford to go to school. Why are you in such a hurry now?

"What's wrong with how we live? We're doing just fine. Look at you, all you do is worry all day long. I don't know what you're worried about!"

If this were in the past, she would definitely think that what the man said was right. After all, with a daughter like her, she wouldn't have to worry about not having money to spend, nor would she have to worry about her son going to school and not being able to pay the tuition. But the situation is different now.

Ever since Fu Xiaotong was not favored by Young Master Zhang and failed to give birth to a son, her life in the Zhang family has become difficult.

This girl is barely able to take care of herself now, how can I possibly have the time to help her?

If it weren't for this, Lu Chunhua wouldn't have asked Tong Qian for money. She simply couldn't think of where she would get money in the future and didn't know how she would make a living...

"Fu Xiaotong?"

I said, Tong Dahai, no matter what, you're still a stepfather. How dare you ask my Fu Xiaotong for money now?

Do you look like a stepfather?

You're not my biological father, so why are you expecting anything from my daughter, Tong Dahai? In my opinion, you're heartless. You only care about your own daughter and don't care about me at all.

Tong Qian is living such a comfortable life now, and instead of trying to squeeze some money out of your daughter, you're thinking about Fu Xiaotong's money. Where is your shame?

At this moment, Lu Chun started to make a scene at Tong Dahai, cursing and swearing. Because he was particularly angry, he cursed very fiercely, and spittle flew everywhere, all of which landed on Tong Dahai's face.

Tong Dahai got a little angry at this point, "I'm telling you, woman, how can you not be reasonable at all?"

"What do you mean I'm a stepfather and can't rely on Fu Xiaotong?"

You raised your daughter in our family for several years, so I owe you a debt of gratitude for raising her. What's wrong with asking for some money?

When your daughter married into the Zhang family, I had to sell several acres of land to get her dowry.

"It's all so that when Fu Xiaotong remarries, she won't lose face, won't be bullied, and won't be looked down upon by the Zhang family. I don't even treat my own daughter and son this way. I'm just asking Fu Xiaotong to be filial to me. What's wrong with that?"

Lu Chunhua stared at Tong Dahai in disbelief, never expecting that this man would have such an ability to speak.

I originally thought Tong Dahai was an honest man, but he wasn't at all.

Lu Chunhua wanted to retort, but everything he had said was true, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"And you, as a stepmother, have never done anything for Tong Qian. How dare you ask my daughter for money today?"

Why doesn't it work for me?

Although Tong Qian's life is good, it can't compare to your daughter's. Your daughter is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. Even if the Ji family is successful now, it's not as powerful as the Zhang family.

And don't forget that this marriage was between Tong Qian and Zhang Mengjun.

If it weren't for me giving this man to Fu Xiaotong and canceling the marriage, allowing your daughter to marry into the Zhang family in style, my daughter would have been stuck at home doing chores.

I've done so much for Fu Xiaotong in these matters, so now if anything happens at home, your daughter should help out and not go looking for Tong Qian anymore.

"After all, we sold Tong Qian for five taels of silver, and we have no recourse regarding that."

“I know you’re a stepmother, and you should be biased towards your own daughter, but you can’t be this biased.”

We should still have some conscience, otherwise if others find out, they will definitely laugh at us. How can we face people in the village then?

Why can't you think these things through properly?

This was the first time Lu Chunhua had heard the old man speak like this. She hadn't expected that the old man was so clear-headed; he was just pretending to be stupid all the time.

After the man said that, Lu Chunhua was at a loss for words.

All the person could do was cry and scream even louder, but they didn't dare to criticize Tong Dahai at all.

Then Lu Chunhua could only continue walking in a gloomy mood, and her feelings of frustration grew stronger and stronger.

Tong Qian has been living a very peaceful life these past few days.

Ever since Lu Chunhua and Tong Dahai made that fuss, they haven't come back.

However, with the Lunar New Year approaching, people are starting to prepare for the holiday from house to house.

The people in this village are busy with farm work all year round, and they can only take a short break during the Spring Festival. Therefore, for the people in the countryside, the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are the most important days, and they have to prepare day by day in advance.

Before the Lunar New Year, every household prepares some things. Some poor families prepare pickled vegetables, while some wealthy families prepare cured meat or Laba garlic to eat dumplings during the New Year.

Although meat is more expensive than other vegetables, every household still buys some, just for the sake of good fortune. And most importantly, people also pickle fish.

This type of cured meat is made less often; people in the countryside prefer to cook meat, since cooked meat has more oil and moisture.

Tong Qian was also thinking that she must make some cured meat when she had time, so that she could eat it during the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, the winter weather is just right; after drying for ten or eight days, it's basically ready to eat.

The piglets at home have been raised for so long, they must have gained a lot of weight by now.

Tong Qian felt that compared to other family members, because they were raised later, their children were still relatively small.

If we were to kill and eat it, or sell it directly to a shop, it would be a bit of a waste of money.

The two women next to them thought so too.
