Chapter 116: The General’s Mansion Returns This Money
Tong Zhaoer was almost hysterical, laughing "haha".
"This all belongs to me, Tong Zhaoer. I can smash it if I want to. I'm happy to smash it! It's better than giving it to that vicious little bitch Liang Jiang! Come on, let's smash it together!"
Fang Chengxu saw that she was almost crazy and seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
This slap directly stunned Tong Zhaoer. She looked at Fang Chengxu in disbelief: "Do you feel bad when I scold Liang Jiang? You hit me because of her? Fang Chengxu, do you still have a conscience?"
Fang Chengxu immediately regretted the slap he gave her: "I, I'm not..."
Old Mrs. Fang was gloating at the side: "What's wrong with beating her? This woman deserves to be beaten if she disobeys! She's just not as filial as a ginger, not as filial as a finger..."
Before he finished speaking, Tong Zhaoer, who had lost his mind, couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up a ruler on the table and hit Old Mrs. Fang on the forehead with a "snap".
There was sudden silence in the courtyard.
Immediately, Mrs. Fang screamed like a pig: "Killing!"
The Fang family is in chaos.
Tong Zhaoer had just lost her beloved daughter and was paranoid. She was on the verge of collapse every day. She had restless nights, couldn't eat, was irritable and depressed.
Being frightened by Old Mrs. Fang again, he obviously became manic and moody.
The whole house was filled with an indescribable anger and depression every day. The servant was careful and did not dare to breathe loudly.
Mrs. Fang and Fang Yuan did not dare to do anything again, or even appear in front of Tong Zhaoer, for fear that when she saw them, she would suddenly get angry, throw things and curse people.
Fang Chengxu was not much better.
Tong Zhaoer's inexplicable changes did not attract his attention. He thought that Tong Zhaoer was originally unruly and willful, but now that he lost his daughter and was overly sad, it would be much better to vent it out.
He chose to escape and stay in the escort as much as possible, even staying up at night.
But Liangjiang's donation of silver undoubtedly transferred this debt to the soldiers of the three armies and the people of the city, making everyone the Fang family's creditor.
Faced with the endless methods of those who wanted to collect debts, Fang Chengxu was at his wits' end, at his wits' end, and under tremendous pressure.
Everyone in the Guards looked at him differently.
Even General Tong was criticized and criticized behind his back in the military camp.
In the past few days, he had received a secret message from Hu Yanchao, Xiliang. He was anxious for a while, cautiously testing the wind direction around him, and fearfully alert to the movements in the Duke's mansion. He was not in the mood to deal with such a trivial matter.
But unexpectedly, things got worse and worse, and the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an ant nest. He could not let some trivial things ruin Fang Chengxu's future and his dignity in the military camp.
Things that can be solved with money are not problems.
He came to Tong Zhaoer's house.
Debt collectors would not dare to mess with him.
When the servant opened the door of the house and saw him, it was like seeing a savior: "Sir, you are here!"
In the inner house, there was a lively noise, and the sharp sound penetrated the roof and wall, making eardrums noisy.
It was Tong Zhaoer's voice.
General Tong took three steps and then two steps in.
Tong Zhaoer was pulling old Mrs. Fang's hair and was having a hysterical fit: "I asked you to get medicine for my family Wuyou! You are reluctant to part with it, aren't you? You want to keep the money from selling it and give the money to Liangjiang, right? Dreaming !”
Old Mrs. Fang's scalp was so painful that she pulled her, and her crying and fussing tricks were of no use in front of Tong Zhaoer. She said angrily: "Wouyou is gone! No amount of medicine can save her! "You're talking nonsense! You vicious old woman, how dare you curse my daughter!"
Old Mrs. Fang was no match for her at all. She screamed like a pig but Fang Yuan stood helpless.
General Tong was shocked.
However, after just a few days of not seeing each other, how could the daughter who was so doting on her and so full of love on horseback become like this?
General Tong hurriedly scolded his subordinates to come forward and separate the two.
The rescued old lady Fang complained with tears and runny noses.
"We really can't live this life anymore. For someone as old as me, I am beaten and scolded every day. Sooner or later, I will die at the hands of your daughter."
General Tong glanced at her coldly: "There is a cause and a result. I also want to ask you, I am a good daughter who married into your Fang family less than two months ago. How did you treat her? How come it’s like this?”
Old Mrs. Fang choked up: "My Fang family is worshiping her like a Bodhisattva. The child's death has nothing to do with me. It's Zhao's mother who suffered a thousand cuts..."
When she saw General Tong's sharp eyes as sharp as a knife, her unspoken words suddenly stopped.
He shrunk his neck and stepped away.
When Tong Zhaoer saw General Tong, his slightly distracted eyes gradually condensed, and he regained his clarity. He straightened his messy hair, called "Dad", and his eyes became wet with grievance.
General Tong felt sorry for his daughter and said, "Don't stay at home all the time. Go out for a walk when you have time. Be open-minded about everything."
Tong Zhaoer didn't understand what she was wronged about, but she just wanted to cry and cried straight away.
"As soon as I went out, those people were pointing and talking behind my back, and some wanted to harm me. I didn't dare to go out."
Tong Shouliang clenched his teeth: "Don't worry, dad is here, everything will be fine. Give them a hundred courages, and they won't dare to bully my Tong Shouliang's daughter."
"Liangjiang dares! Dad, Liangjiang has always been riding on my daughter's head, letting me live in her shadow. Even this Tong Zhai has her shadow everywhere!"
General Tong looked at his pale and frightened daughter in front of him, his heart felt like a knife piercing it, and he was filled with guilt.
He ordered his servants in a deep voice: "Go and call Fang Chengxu back to me."
When Fang Chengxu received the news, he immediately returned home without delay.
General Tong asked fiercely: "Why did my Zhao'er become like this? What on earth did you do to her?"
Fang Chengxu had been exhausted these past few days. Faced with General Tong's questioning, Fang Chengxu scratched his hair with a sad look on his face.
"After the child was gone, Azhao was just depressed at first and couldn't sleep well at night. But since Zhao's mother left, she seemed to be a different person. She was always talking to herself and sitting in a daze. Say some weird things.
I thought something was wrong with her, so I invited a doctor to see her. The doctor said that she had a deficiency of Qi and blood after giving birth, her heart was not nourishing, her liver Qi was stagnant, and her emotions were not smooth, so he prescribed some decoction.
After eating it, I still have good and bad symptoms. I am like a normal person on weekdays, with only occasional attacks. In the past few days, people had probably been besieging the house, unable to go out, and had been stuck at home, which made her feel a little abnormal. "
Fang Chengxu's words made General Tong regretful.
Although the child is born with insufficient resources and cannot be raised well, if Tong Zhaoer is given a little buffering time and is mentally prepared, she shouldn't have to bear such a big blow, right?
Not only did he fail to restrain Liang Jiang and his daughter, he also lost his wife and soldiers, harmed his granddaughter, and even harmed his daughter.
This is all the bitter fruit caused by one's own mistakes.
He looked at Tong Zhaoer guiltily: "Isn't it just eight thousand taels of silver? The General's Mansion will pay it back!"
