Chapter 807: Chapter 807: It’s Like Feeding Pigs_1
Tong Tiehu wouldn’t give it, so Tong Erlang went to find Tong Xingda.
Now that it was a slack period on the farm, Tong Xingda had nothing to do all day long, and after hearing Tong Erlang’s words, he didn’t offer any silver, but he proposed a solution: the reason Zhu Hongyun suffered from morning sickness was that the food at home was unappetizing.
Sometimes even he, a grown man, felt like vomiting after eating, let alone Zhu Hongyun, a pregnant woman.
To completely cure morning sickness, it was useless to patronize the ultimate flavors of the town.
The chef at Ultimate Flavors couldn’t compare to Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking skills.
If Zhu Hongyun ate the meals prepared by Qiao Xiaomai, she would definitely stop vomiting.
…
Once this suggestion was out, Tong Erlang immediately went back to consult with Zhu Hongyun. The couple muttered something to each other and, in the end, both strongly agreed with Tong Xingda’s proposal. They asked Tong Xingda to come to the manor to inform Qiao Xiaomai that they wanted her to cook for Zhu Hongyun every day and that he would come over with the ox cart to pick up the food.
With this request, Tong Xingda immediately wanted to hitch up the ox cart and rush over to the manor.
Tong Tiehu, who had been observing the entire scene, stepped in at this point to stop Tong Xingda.
Last time, Qiao Xiaomai made it clear that she no longer had anything to do with the Tong Family, yet Tong Xingda, Tong Erlang, and Zhu Hongyun actually fancied using Zhu Hongyun’s pregnancy with a Tong Family descendant as leverage to coerce Qiao Xiaomai, is that possible?
A bunch of fools!
Tong Xingda, rebuked, naturally didn’t take it lying down and began to holler, even coming up with statements like “If Qiao Xiaomai doesn’t do it, let Sanlang divorce her.”
In short, in Tong Xingda’s view, even though Qiao Xiaomai was averse to the Tong Family, such a slight aversion didn’t matter much in front of the Tong Family’s descendants.
Tong Tiehu heard this and couldn’t even bother to roll his eyes.
This kind of moral kidnapping was the most despicable.
He knew Qiao Xiaomai’s temperament well; if she had spoken those words that day, then there was no room for turning back.
Qiao Xiaomai definitely wouldn’t cook for Zhu Hongyun.
Nevertheless, Zhu Hongyun’s vomiting was indeed pitiful, so after some thought, he went to great lengths to stop Tong Xingda and came over with the ox cart himself.
“Those mooncakes from last time were quite tasty, are there any left? I’ve come to take a few pieces.”
He didn’t mention Zhu Hongyun’s morning sickness and made up this excuse instead.
The mooncakes were made by Qiao Xiaomai, and since they tasted good, he decided to take some back for Zhu Hongyun to try.
Plus, he truly liked the taste of the mooncakes; they suited his palate.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang looked at each other, surprise evident in their eyes, and Tong Sanlang said, “Grandfather, you actually traveled this far just for a bite to eat?”
This was not in keeping with Tong Tiehu’s character; he was not a man driven by gluttony.
Looking into their similarly clear eyes, Tong Tiehu sighed helplessly.
Alright, neither of them was easy to fool.
“Actually, it’s like this…”
He briefly explained what had happened these past few days and finally said, “I thought, since you guys take back Dried Sweet Potato Mooncakes every now and then, I’d try using these first to see if they could stop her morning sickness.”
Tong Sanlang would bring back some food every time he returned, so it shouldn’t be a problem if he asked for some voluntarily now.
Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow and nodded, “Okay, I’ll get them.”
Tong Tiehu had personally come to ask, and she had to give him that much respect.
No matter how much she disliked Zhu Hongyun, she had to acquiesce.
Tong Tiehu watched her figure, sighed, and said, “I’ve troubled you.”
Qiao Xiaomai smiled, “It’s nothing.”
She decided to treat whatever Zhu Hongyun ate as if it were fed to a pig.
