Divide the family?
These two words caused everyone present to freeze in surprise.
Zhu Hongyun immediately protested, "I disagree!"
This was a joke.
She and her husband, Tong Erlang, could neither make vinegar nor read nor farm; they were basically incompetent. Moreover, they were neither the eldest nor the youngest, so Tong Xingda and Zhang Family would definitely not live with them.
If they were to split the family, she and Tong Erlang would certainly end up destitute!
And then there was the matter of Tong Sanlang about to take the local exams.
Though she had little faith in Tong Sanlang, what if by some stroke of luck he passed? Then he would be a scholar.
Scholars were exempt from taxes and were considered superior to the common people!
Why would she split the family with Tong Sanlang at this point? Absolutely Not!
Additionally, Tong Sanlang might marry Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai was one of two opportunities for the Tong family to rise again!
