But, there’s no choice, this is his only son, no matter how ugly, he can only endure it.
"Where’s Mom? What about my sister-in-law and Fu Gui?"
Ms. Hetian seed not to notice the ridiculous look of Tian Yaozong, nor the awkward expression on Mr. Tian’s face.
She glanced at the father and son, suddenly throwing out such a question.
Of course, as long-lost relatives, inquiring about other family mbers is also reasonable.
However, as soone who had long seen through Mr. Tian’s nature, Ms. Hetian deliberately asked this question, deliberately pressing where it hurts.
"..." Mr. Tian’s expression froze, he looked at the surrounding onlookers, then at Ms. Hetian, pulled the corner of his mouth, and intentionally made a sorrowful expression, "Your mother and the others are all gone!"
In front of his own daughter, in front of so many people, Mr. Tian truly couldn’t bring himself to say that, in order to save himself and his son, he had sold the wife who had been with him for over twenty years, the daughter-in-law who had given Tian Family a grandson, and even his legitimate grandson.
It’s disgraceful!
Although human nature is such, many people in his situation would do the sa.
But such things are easier to do than to say out loud.
In his heart, he felt extrely ashad and angry, Mr. Tian didn’t want to reveal the truth that would disgrace him, so he forced himself to lie.
Saying they died is better than saying they were sold.
"Gone? My mother’s health was so good, my sister-in-law was so young, and even Fu Gui, such a healthy child, how could they be gone?"
Ms. Hetian didn’t believe a word of it, hmph, even his own daughter he could speak of killing with no hesitation, Mr. Tian’s cold heart is definitely beyond ordinary.
If Mr. Tian were pushed to the brink, he could even kill Old Lady Han and the others to eat their at!
A person like that would let Old Lady Han and the others die instead of using them to exchange for resources to survive?!
Sneering inside, the words Ms. Hetian spoke were laced with thorns.
Mr. Tian:...
Knew this stubborn girl wouldn’t be easy to deceive.
Mr. Tian cursed secretly, but kept up his sorrowful facade, "Alas, there was nothing we could do. Our family fled from famine, and we encountered so many disasters along the way."
"Drought, military disasters, banditry, shortly after we finally found a place to settle, before we could spend a couple of peaceful days, there was an epidemic."
"The people who fled with our family, so died, so scattered, so families even perished completely. It was tragic——"
Mr. Tian’s acting was indeed superb, as he spoke, tears rolled out of his murky old eyes.
Even Tian Yaozong, for once, smartened up, and quickly chid in, "Yeah, yeah, sister, our Tian Family has only and dad left, it’s already a misfortune within a fortunate situation."
"Luckily, we have great luck, we followed the army to the Capital City, barely surviving!"
Followed by going to negotiate with the He Family, managed to secure the farm tenant for survival in the Capital City.
Wait!
He Family?!
Right, big sister must already know the news that He Erniu took a spoiled wife, right?
Dad and I made the decision for He Erniu to write a divorce paper, big sister shouldn’t be angry, right?!
Tian Yaozong rarely had monts when his mind worked so fast, suddenly thinking of these things, his excited heart turned instantly anxious and uneasy.
Not knowing how to respond, he could only desperately signal his father with his eyes.
Mr. Tian was initially stunned, not understanding why his son was winking at him.
It wasn’t until Tian Yaozong got anxious, using exaggerated mouth shapes, silently mouthed "He," did Mr. Tian react.
Uh——
This matter is making Mr. Tian feel uneasy in his heart.
But, Mr. Tian had a tough ntal quality, with quick reactions, he finally thought of a "Tool Man," wanting to use him to bring up the He Family topic.
Intentionally looking around, pretending to search, Mr. Tian eagerly said, "Where’s Xiao Bao? Is Xiao Bao well? Didn’t he co back with you?"
"Xiao Bao is fine, he’s still on the road, should be ho in a couple of days."
After all, in wars, there will definitely be so spoils.
And as soone aspiring to live an indulgent lifestyle, He Jue deliberately showed a greedy side.
Not touching military power, only wanting spoils.
His over a dozen excellent sworn brothers and sisters were fighting at the front, earning battle achievents, seizing rewards, while He Jue just followed behind, reaping benefits.
The group, in consideration of Ms. Hetian and the child soldiers, were very tolerant of He Jue, such a young kid, not only not stopping him, but instead very indulgent.
So, in less than a year, He Jue went from a promising young martial general to a lazy, gold-digging slacker.
