Chapter Thirty Understand?

  "What's going on here?", Wu Fan laughed and sized up the relationship between Tong Jian and Tong Rui, this pair of siblings who didn't get along, and even seemed like strangers. He chuckled and said: "There's an old saying that goes well, four words, 'blood is thicker than water'! Are you guys... having a falling out? Or did your sister-in-law say something? Your sister-in-law has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, it was just an offhand remark, why get angry?"

  Tong Jian shook his head, forcing a smile and said stiffly: "It's not... it's not that, it's..."

  "What's going on? Hmm?" Wu Fan looked at Tong Jian, seeing him wanting to speak but hesitating and glancing at Tong Rui, his face suddenly sank, he put down the things in his hand, stretched out his hand towards Tong Rui and said: "Come over! Come over! You tell me!"

  Tong Rui lowered her head and raised it again, with a look of three parts sauciness, three parts grievance, and three parts unwillingness...

  Wu Fan's face looked even more unsightly. Previously, he didn't say anything because he wasn't familiar with the surroundings and was afraid that Tong Rui would discover his true identity and find some clues. Moreover, he felt sorry for Tong Rui who had suffered so much with him before, so he was very indulgent. However, some things couldn't be indulged, just like the matter of Hu Che Er. At that time, he was also called to the thousand households to ask questions because he killed Guo Yan, but he forgot and wanted to say it again later, but didn't find a suitable opportunity. Dragging on until now, he had made up his mind to say everything at once, determined to rectify this kind of evil trend and restore justice!

  "Did you hear what I just asked you?" Wu Fan's voice was low and slightly angry. Seeing Tong Dui hesitating, he turned his head and said to Tong Jian: "Big brother! I'll take her home first, and come back to visit when I have a chance!"

  Wu Fan stretched out his hand and made a polite gesture to Tong Rui, surprisingly with a smile: "Miss? Please!"

  Staring at Wu Fan's sudden smile, Tong Jian was frightened and didn't dare make a sound.

  Tong Rui lowered her head even more, because she thought it was... terrifying.

  "Alas!"

  Wu Fan let out a sigh, stood up straight and said: "Say it, you don't say it, leave, you don't leave, what do you want to do?" With the fourteen knife sheaths on his back, Wu Fan suddenly roared: "What exactly do you want to do? Ah? Either tell me! Or get out of here! Or... I'll give you gold, silver, and treasures, even that mansion, consider it a gift for taking care of me all these years! Then, scram!"

  "Waaaahhh..."

  Tong Rui was wronged and cried directly.

  Looking at this scene, Tong Jian stuttered: "Brother... brother... it's like this, your sister-in-law... isn't, I, I want to ask you for a favor, Xiaorui thinks..."

  "What's up?"

  Wu Fan calmed down and looked at Tong Jian.

  Tong Jianguo swallowed his saliva, hesitated and stammered out the truth: "Our eldest brother is getting old, I heard that you...you became the head of the City West Office, I was thinking of letting Tong Wei follow you to work, it's better than farming at home..."

  "Oh!"

  Wu Fan nodded and sat back down, as if thinking about something.

  Suddenly——

  "When will it be your turn to take charge for me!", Wu Fan stood up, loudly scolding Tong Rui: "Who are you? Who do you think you are? Ah? I've tolerated you for a long time! Do you know what's most important for a woman? It's virtue! Just now, because of you, my brother Hu Che was driven away and still doesn't know where he went. I didn't say anything to you, just wanted you to understand yourself! You! Tong Rui! You're not yet the daughter-in-law of the Wu family! You can't take charge for me! Do you understand? Do you understand?"

  After talking for a long time, Wu Fan let out a sigh and took off his knife sheath. He went to the outer room to fetch a square table and placed it on the bed, then started chopping the five-spice chicken into small pieces and putting them onto a plate. As he worked, he said: "If you understand, go call your sister-in-law and those three little ones over. If not, just stand there for me, big brother! Come, let's have a drink first!"

  Wu Fan is undoubtedly more familiar with Tong Rui, this strong-willed woman. If she were really forced to speak incorrectly, it would be impossible. So he finally made a way out... As expected, Tong Rui wiped away her tears, glanced at Wu Fan with grievance, and quickly turned around to leave the house and do as Wu Fan said, making a very decisive choice.

  When Wu Fan saw this scene, he smiled and believed that from now on, Tong Rui would definitely become a obedient little woman... In fact, this also explains that when Wu Fan used to take less silver home in the past, it was because he had no status! Now that he has been promoted to the Eagle Guard General Flag, he has gained ability and silver, and his status has risen accordingly. To sum it up, in the past, Wu Fan had to be careful not to offend Tong Rui, but now it's the other way around. You don't listen? Okay! There are beautiful girls waiting for Wu Fan behind her!

  He poured a bowl of wine for Tong Jian, who looked anxious, and Wu Fan smiled: "To be honest, it's been a long time since I've had this...haven't you?"

  Tong Jian took a sip of wine and nodded: "It's been more than three years since I came, the last time we met was over a year ago..."

  More than a year ago, when Wu's father passed away, Tong Jian made great efforts to handle the funeral. Why did Wu Fan get along so well with Tong Jian, while Tong Rui didn't even want to see her own brother? Because some kindness should be remembered in one's heart.

  After drinking two bowls of wine, Tong Jian rubbed his dark forehead and smiled bitterly. He finally dared to communicate normally with Wu Fan, who had gained some dignity, and sighed: "Your sister-in-law actually took the eldest of the family to see a doctor, and brought the two younger ones along... When I was young, it wasn't like this! How did it become like this after growing up..."

  Tong Jian shook his head, somewhat incomprehensible. Or rather, he couldn't find the words to describe what had happened to his own son.

  Wu Fan had seen Tong Jian's eldest son, Tong Wei, and asked: "What happened to him? Wasn't he quite sturdy? Three years ago... three years ago he was only twelve years old, but already six feet tall, with a robust build! How could he have fallen ill?"

  Tong Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say, brother, look at this bed board!"

  Wu Fan leaned over to take a look at the bed board that Tong Jian had lifted up, and exclaimed in surprise: "What's wrong? Isn't it good enough? Oh! It's still new!"

  Tong Jian sighed and said, "It was just replaced the other day! In recent years, it has been replaced countless times. He can crack a three-inch thick wooden board with a single flip in his sleep. When he sleeps, I don't dare let Er Ge and San Ge sleep next to him. If they get hit once, they'll definitely break their bones. For over a year now, I've been tying him up with ropes every day to make him sleep... but recently, the ropes can't even hold him down."

  "Bang!"

  Wu Fan slammed his hand on the table, startling Tong Jian quite a bit.

  He swallowed the chicken in his mouth fiercely and said, "Nonsense! What kind of crappy disease is this? This is a good thing!"

  Tong Jian was stunned: "Good thing?"

  Wu Fan said with a serious expression: "It must be a good thing! This child will have great prospects in the future! Qilin! Do you know or not?"

  "Honk honk……!"

  The sound of footsteps came, and soon Wu Fan saw two 8 or 9-year-old little guys peeking out from the inner room door, staring at the meat on the table with a greedy look...
