Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm - Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Chapter 487 We Will Be More Diligent

Tong Sanlang “…”

He fell silent under the fiery gaze of the Zhang Family.

He would have absolutely been willing to support his parents.

But his mother harbored a deep prejudice against his beloved woman.

For the sake of his beloved, he chose to divide the family.

This action could be considered unfilial.

Now, faced with the questioning gaze of Zhang Family, he was about to falter.

“What are you staring at Sanlang for? Did he say he wouldn’t support you? He just wants to read undistracted.” Tong Tiehu grunted and interrupted Zhang Family’s gaze and silent blame on Tong Sanlang.

“Sanlang wants to read quietly. As long as we don’t make noise, it’s fine.” Zhu Hongyun spoke up, “As for household chores, we’ll do more.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu looked over, clearly skeptical.

Zhu Hongyun, seeing his reaction, pushed Tong Erlang, “Let Erlang do the chores like sweeping, feeding the livestock and picking up firewood.”

If they were late coming back, those chores would be done by Tong Sanlang.

Upon hearing Zhu Hongyun, Tong Erlang had a bitter expression as if he had swallowed a bitter pill. He was already exhausted from working in the fields every day, and now he had these chores too.

Zhu Hongyun noticed his expression and pinched him, “You don’t pick up firewood every day, only when you’re not working in the field.”

Tong Erlang reluctantly acknowledged it.

Zhu Hongyun grinned at Tong Tiehu, “Grandpa, don’t worry, we won’t let Sanlang do housework anymore.”

Upon hearing her, Tong Tiehu looked at Tong Dalang.

Tong Dalang laughed, “Grandpa, I will also work harder so as not to hinder my little brother’s studies.”

“Exactly, Grandpa don’t worry. Sanlang is our family’s hope, we will not delay him.” Zhu Hongyun added, nodding vigorously.

Tong Tiehu’s gaze scanned each of their faces in turn.

He sighed inwardly.

He didn’t actually want to divide the family either.

Although he understood the true nature of his own family, emotionally he wasn’t ready to give up.

It was possible that these people could be changed for the better.

So he’d been trying to reform them with hard work these days, accompanied by scolding that was harsh but truthful.

He hoped this strategy would change the lazy habits of his family.

He wanted them to realize that compared to most in the village, their current situation was actually good.

However, judging by the past few days, his high-pressure reform policy was not working.

Moreover, watching the reactions of everyone now, his worries increased even more.

These people were sticking to Tong Sanlang instead of dividing the household- not because of their familial attachment, not because they hated to split up their family, but because of their interests.

They knew they would have better days if they stuck with Tong Sanlang.

How could this happen?

Even though they had been stubborn and disobedient towards Qiao Xiaomai in the past, how could they crumble like this when it was time for their own family to unite?

He sighed again in his heart, looking at Tong Sanlang, “Sanlang, keep a few hares or wild chickens next time you go hunting. You’re always working and studying, take good care of your health.”

Tong Sanlang answered, “Yes.”

“Let’s eat.” Tong Tiehu picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks.

The others also started eating.

Tong Xingda smiled, “Sanlang, hunt a few more. Everyone needs to replenish their energy. We are running low.”

Tong Sanlang only responded with a grunt, showing no change in expression.

But a wave of despair surfaced in his heart.

The plan to divide the family had fallen through.

And it had been blamed on his unfilialness…
