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

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Beat_1 Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Beat_1 The next moment, Tong Tiehu appeared at the entrance of the Courtyard, and the face in his mind instantly merged with the face before his eyes.

He sprang to his feet in a panic, “Dad, dad, why, why have you come!”

Recalling the fear of being confined by Tong Tiehu, he struggled to articulate his words properly.

“Hmph, quite the accomplishment, daring to sneak off to the Capital City and colluding with outsiders to scheme against your own family. How did I raise such a beast!” Tong Tiehu had his hands clasped behind his back, his face, already stern, growing angrier as he spoke; by the end of his sentence, his complexion was livid.

Seeing this, Tong Xingda slowly edged behind a table, retorting, “Who colluded with outsiders to scheme against their own family? Who did? I’m now doing business with Lady Bai, and she even had someone deliver over four hundred taels of silver this morning. I am earning silver for our home in collaboration with outsiders!”

At these words, Tong Tiehu became furiously enraged. His hands, previously hidden behind his back, stretched out as he marched into the Courtyard, “You still dare to argue?! Drugging your own son, you’re worse than a beast!”

Tong Xingda, seeing what Tong Tiehu was carrying in his hand, instantly fled on wobbly legs toward the house, all the while shouting, “Dad, I did it for Sanlang’s benefit. Having a wife of noble status will be advantageous for his future career!”

“Besides, he’s been married to Xiaomai for so long without any sign of pregnancy; clearly, that girl Xiaomai is infertile. I must find him another wife for the sake of his offspring!”

Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu didn’t just walk; he ran, “Good for nothing beast, so this is your plan, a formal wife? How dare you dream of such a thing! Stop right there!”

“I won’t stop, I’m doing this all for Sanlang’s good!” Tong Xingda agilely ran into the house, slamming the door shut with a “snap”, fastening the bolt, then quickly climbed onto the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt.

In Tong Tiehu’s hand was an iron ruler over a foot long–an iron ruler!

If that thing really came down, it could kill a person!

Hiding under the quilt, Tong Xingda trembled uncontrollably.

Tong Tiehu kicked the door, but it wouldn’t budge. He turned his head and yelled for Tong Sanlang, “Sanlang, drag him out! Today I must beat this beast to death!”

Tong Sanlang’s face was also very dark. There was a reason Xiaomai hadn’t gotten pregnant!

He pursed his lips and strode to the door, raised his foot, and kicked it.

The solid wooden door was like paper mache before him, easily kicked open. He entered the house and scanned the room, spotting Tong Xingda huddled on the bed under a quilt. His stern face paused briefly before he turned to look at Tong Tiehu.

He had thought Tong Xingda would hurl things around the room at him, but who would have expected him to be trembling beneath the bedcovers?

Seeing this, Tong Tiehu cursed, “Spineless! You’ve become such a coward!”

He strode to the foot of the bed and lifted the iron ruler in his hand, lashing down fiercely.

Under the quilt, Tong Xingda was cushioned with duck down, which mitigated some of the pain, but the strikes from the iron ruler still hurt tremendously. He wailed continuously as he clutched the quilt tighter, wrapping his body more securely.

Though Tong Tiehu claimed he wanted to beat him to death, he didn’t really strike with full force. However, he was genuinely furious, so his blows were merciless.

Tong Xingda cried out in pain, pleading for the beating to stop, throwing out words like “I’m bleeding,” “I’m going to die,” incessantly.
