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

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Tong Tiehu Has Arrived_1 Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Tong Tiehu Has Arrived_1 Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family were ecstatic.

To be precise, it was the Zhang Family who was ecstatic to the point of insanity, for Tong Xingda, being knowledgeable, would not go crazy over a few hundred taels of silver.

But the Zhang Family was different; having come from a small household, her private stash of silver used to be no more than a hundred taels. Now, after a month in the Capital City, she had earned more than two thousand taels–a truly treasured land indeed!

Out of these two thousand taels of silver, more than half was earned through her passionate performances.

Causing a scene with Tong Sanniang once earned her two hundred taels.

She got beaten when she attempted to use medicine against Tong Sanniang, considering it hard labor, Bai Zhi gave her five hundred taels.

The last time Ren Zhong intended to send her away, she hit a wall out of determination not to leave, suffering a head injury with blood flowing. Such an earnest and heartfelt performance moved Bai Zhi, who then gave her eight hundred taels.

Although she still had bandages wrapped around her head, that didn’t affect her counting the banknotes at all.

These banknotes were given to her by Bai Zhi, who specifically instructed that Tong Xingda was not to touch them, so these banknotes were entirely hers.

She sewed a pocket on the inside of her clothes, where she kept the banknotes close, counting them several times a day while occasionally fondling them. Every time she felt the stiff texture of the banknotes, she would smile with utter contentment.

Whenever Tong Xingda saw her like this, he would feel an itching desire to slap her.

However, Bai Zhi was currently treating the Zhang Family like a precious babe, so he could only entertain the thought in his mind.

Endure.

Once they returned to the village and Bai Zhi no longer had her back, all the silver would be his.

But whenever he thought of returning to the village, his face would immediately darken.

Pah!

The idea of going back was ridiculous; his brain must be damaged.

Now, living a life enjoying good food and drink every day, who would want to go back!

He spat in his mind a few more times, then stood up from his chair, ready to go out for a stroll.

Having been in the Capital City for so long, he had never gone out for a walk.

“Where are you going, head of the house?” The Zhang Family called out to him as he headed toward the Courtyard entrance.

“Just out for a stroll.”

“Ah, better to hold off for now–are you not afraid the guards will capture you?”

Staying in the Courtyard, with Bai Zhi’s guards on watch, even if the guards from the Imperial Palace came, their safety was assured.

If Tong Xingda were to roam the streets alone and got forcibly taken away in a carriage, it would be a loss not worth the risk.

After hearing the Zhang Family’s words, Tong Xingda, who was already in a bad mood, grew even more displeased. He almost forgot about this with Ren Zhong not showing up for a few days!

Agitated, he sat back down at the table, cursing, “Am I destined to stay here forever?”

“It’ll be fine once this blows over,” consoled the Zhang Family.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanniang couldn’t possibly stay in the Capital City forever. Once these two left, they would be free to go out boldly and confidently.

Just then, a reprimanding voice came from the entrance, “Stop, this is Miss Bai’s Courtyard; you cannot barge in!”

As the voice faded, the Courtyard door was kicked open with a loud “bang,” and Tong Sanniang’s tall figure appeared in the doorway.

Tong Sanniang, seeing that it was him who had arrived and had also kicked the door open, felt his anger surge, “You little rascal, what are you here for!”

“Grandpa’s here, to invite you and mom to return,” Tong Sanniang said, lifting his legs and kicking away the guards from the Wang Residence who had rushed up to stop him, then turned towards Tong Tiehu standing aside, “Grandpa, dad and mom are inside.”

Grandpa’s here.

The moment these four words reached his ears, Tong Xingda immediately pictured Tong Tiehu’s stern face.
