Chapter 359 New Hexagram 8

"Thank you, Master Su."

On the way back, Tong Pandi expressed his gratitude to Master Su again and again.

If it weren't for Master Su's reputation as a virtuous man who was willing to help, her divorce would not have been so smooth.

Tong Huaqiong expressed her curiosity about what Master Su had said to the head of the Wu family that made the head of the Wu family agree so readily.

Master Su chuckled twice and said, "Do you think I'm a nerd who only knows how to talk about big principles? A few days ago, I went to Fengle Tower to have dinner and chat with Boss Qian. I learned from him that the Wu family is going to marry the cousin of his eldest daughter-in-law's aunt. Wu Ren has a daughter, and the clan leader also has a daughter. Originally, the matchmaker wanted to match the clan leader's daughter, but Wu Ren intercepted it. The clan leader is angry with Wu Ren. I hinted to the clan leader that the cousin of Boss Qian's eldest daughter-in-law once studied with me for two years, and he listens to me the most. A few days ago, he wrote to ask me what kind of girl I should mention for marriage."

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

Tong Huaqiong, Gu Jingzhe and Tong Pandi understood without Master Su saying anything more. The clan leader wanted Master Su to act as a matchmaker and marry his daughter to the cousin of Boss Qian's eldest daughter-in-law without going through Wu Ren.

I really didn't expect that this matter would end up involving Boss Qian after taking several turns.

This Master Su is quite sinister.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but ask, "So Master Su agreed?"

In her opinion, the head of the Wu family was not a good person. If that cousin was a good person, wouldn't it be a disaster to marry into the Wu family?

Master Su smiled and said, "I didn't say that the matchmaking would be successful."

Tong Pandi was very grateful to Master Su. Master Su was a lonely man with no one to serve him at home. She found that the threads on the sleeves of Master Su's clothes were worn out, so she returned to Qinghe Bay and pulled out a piece of blue satin and sewed a shirt for Master Su.

Master Su took the shirt and put it on without any hesitation.

......

Tong Pandi stayed at Tong Huaqiong's house for the time being.

After the divorce, Tong Pandidi was full of energy. She worked with Cao at Tong Huaqiong's pig farm. In the evening, she took the initiative to learn to read with Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e.

Tong Huaqiong's pig farm focuses on scientific breeding.

Tong Huaqiong taught Tong Pandi the scientific pig-raising knowledge she copied down from her space, such as "Postpartum Care of Sows" and "Selection of Pig Feed".

Tong Pandi has a good memory and basically she can remember something after listening to it twice.

Compared with Chen Sufen's talent in baking, Tong Pandi has a talent in breeding.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but sigh that the girls in the Tong family are all very smart.

In her previous life, Tong Da Jiao was literate and raised a genius like Gu Jingzhe. As Tong Da Jiao's niece, Tong Pandi is equally smart. She was trapped in the Wu family in her previous life and could not display her talents. In this life, she is free from men and can hold down the entire pig farm.

Tong Huaqiong planned to expand the scale of the pig farm after the spring, renovate the pig pens in the dilapidated temple, breed her own sows and boars, buy new piglets... each and every one of these would require a lot of effort.

In winter, no one has to go out to work, and no one has to work in the fields. Tong Huaqiong's former hired workers in the fields have nothing to do in the winter.

Tong Huaqiong hired several people to raise pigs, and Tong Pandidi was in charge of deploying these people.

With more pigs, a large amount of pig feed is naturally needed.

Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandi set up a base for purchasing corn in their home.

Originally, this matter could be taken care of by Gu Dahan, but he was busy with the village's water conservancy construction and had no time to take care of it. The growth of winter wheat in the spring is critical. Every winter the village would organize people to dig ditches, and Qinghewan was no exception. Every household would send at least one person to dig ditches in winter.

In addition, Tong Huaqiong felt that Tong Pandyi was more suitable for communicating with the outside world than Gu Dahan, so she let Tong Pandyi participate in purchasing pig feed.

Tong Pandi was breastfeeding her baby while working and didn't feel tired at all.

Duo'er and Man'er are raised together with Xiaolong Yaozu, while Hua'er is taken care of by the Hong family during the day and is raised to be plump and white.

Tong Fusheng was unwilling to give up, and asked someone he knew to come to Qinghewan to persuade Tong Pandidi, asking her to apologize to the Wu family and continue to be the village head's wife.

He was scolded by Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandi, his aunt and nephew.

Of course, the Wu family’s wish to marry the cousin of Boss Qian’s daughter-in-law was dashed.

After Boss Qian learned that the Wu family was not a decent family, he told his eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law exaggerated how the Wu family treated her and told her aunt about it, and so the marriage was called off.

The chaos outside had nothing to do with Tong Huaqiong. She was busy with the pig farm and the expansion of Taohua Dessert in Heilongtan, and she was busy until the twelfth lunar month.

After Laba Festival comes the New Year.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year atmosphere began to become stronger.

Visiting relatives and friends is inevitable during the New Year holidays. Liu Yue'e's elder sister Liu Yuechang came from Yueliang Bay to Qinghe Bay to visit her parents' home, and stopped by Tong Huaqiong's house to sit for a while.

When chatting about gossip, Liu Yuechang mentioned that a beautiful girl named Luo Qiuyu from Yueliang Bay worked as a maid in the Lian family in Pingchuan County. She became pregnant with the young master of the Lian family. The young master of the Lian family had already arranged a marriage, and the Lian family was afraid that it would be embarrassing if the news of his fiancée having a child before she got married got out, so they sent Luo Qiuyu back home.

Luo Qiuyu was a hot-tempered man. He drank the medicine in a rage, and now two people are dead.

The Lian family was afraid that the Luo family would make trouble, so they sent their housekeeper to Yueliang Bay to give the Luo family 100 taels of silver. Qiuyu's parents took the money, but Qiuyu's younger brother disagreed and wanted the Lian family to put Qiuyu's tablet in the Lian family ancestral hall.

Tong Huaqiong felt that the Lian family in this gossip seemed so familiar.

She remembered that Mr. Huang's daughter, Huang Jingshan, was engaged to the Lian family in Pingchuan County.

He asked Liu Yuechang: "Which young master of the Lian family is the child in Qiuyu's belly?"

Liu Yuechang was not surprised at all that Tong Huaqiong was interested in this gossip. In the village, even a strong woman like Aunt Tong loved to listen to gossip, so she said, "It's the Second Young Master."

The Lian family has three young masters. The eldest is already married, and the second and third have just gotten engaged.

Huang Jingshan’s fiancé is the second young master.

Liu Yuechang sighed, "He said he was a scholar, but I think he studied for nothing. If he didn't want to marry Qiuyu, why did he seduce her? Now he has ruined both of their lives. People in our village used to envy Qiuyu for having the favor of the Lian family, and her food and clothing were no different from those of the daughters of wealthy families. Now it seems that they were just trying to coax Qiuyu."

Tong Huaqiong was quite impressed by Liu Yuechang's understanding.

Liu Yuechang sat in Tong Huaqiong's house for a while, and as it was getting late, she said goodbye and went back.

Tong Huaqiong went to town the next day without saying a word.

First, he went to inspect his own Peach Blossom Dessert, and then went straight to the Huang family.

In name, it was to send pigs to the Huang family, but in reality it was to reveal the affairs of the Lian family.

Tong Huaqiong went into Old Lady Huang's room and told her what Liu Yuechang had said about the second son of the Lian family and Luo Qiuyu. As expected, the Huang family was still kept in the dark about the Lian family's dirty tricks.

Halfway through listening to this, Old Mrs. Huang started yelling that she wanted to cancel the engagement.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Old lady, I must have heard wrongly and wrongly accused a good person. You'd better send someone to inquire about it."

Old Madam Huang said excitedly, "It's absolutely correct. Of the three sons of the Lian family, only the second son who is engaged to Jingshan is studying. Even if the eldest son and the third son did something so detestable as to harm a maid, this marriage cannot be concluded. The family tradition is bad, and bad family traditions are passed down. My Jingshan must not step into the fire pit of the Lian family."

Tong Huaqiong nodded to indicate that what you said, old lady, is right.
