Chapter 209: Chapter 211 Dog Eat Dog_1
Tan Zhongzhong and his brothers were almost all raised by the hand of the Wang Clan, and to this day, they still harbored a shadow in their hearts.
But what use was it to be afraid?
The silver that was his due, he must still claim, otherwise wouldn’t he be making it too easy for others?
In the past, he had no son and no say, but now it was different, he even had one more daughter than Tan Zhengyong!
"You unfilial thing, how much property do you think this family has? You still want twenty taels, we don’t even have two taels of silver!" the Wang Clan scolded angrily.
Ever since the family division, the clan’s silver had only been diminishing, how could they take out another twenty taels?
If they, the two elders, didn’t clutch silver in their hands, who would take care of them in their old age and at their funeral?
Tan Zhongzhong didn’t dwell on the matter of the silver anymore.
Truth be told, he didn’t even set much store by that pittance.
"You take out the land you gave extra to Xiao Fu’s family and divide it evenly. They’re all grandsons, don’t be biased," Tan Zhongzhong said smugly.
When they divided the estate, Xiao Fu had eight mu of paddy fields and four mu of dry land. If he could get half, converted into silver, that was more than forty taels!
"No way!" the Wang Clan immediately said.
"Aren’t you still biased towards Xiao Fu then? I need to have a proper talk about this matter!"
Tan Zhongzhong spoke with dissatisfaction, as long as the old couple could afford to lose face.
Little Wang Clan also entered the main room; ever since Li Clan had given birth to a son, she had been watching Tan Zhongzhong closely.
Sure enough, here it came.
If Tan Zhongzhong took away twenty taels, she would lose twenty taels, and she was not willing!
"At the outset, dad said those lands were for Xiao Fu’s schooling. Don’t even think about it!"
"Is your child inlaid with gold? Just your child goes to school and others’ children can only watch? I’ve said nothing about mum and dad raising Xiao Fu all this time, but when it comes to studying, you can’t continue to play favorites."
Tan Zhongzhong gave Little Wang Clan a sidelong glance; he had made up his mind today to divide Xiao Fu’s land!
Otherwise, he would be failing his son!
"Your son is frail. Who guarantees he will grow up?" Little Wang Clan said spitefully.
Tan Zhongzhong instantly became furious; his son was his precious treasure. How could he tolerate such slander from Little Wang Clan?
He immediately raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
Half of Little Wang Clan’s face instantly reddened.
Tan Zhongzhong also warned fiercely, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you!"
Little Wang Clan was no docile lamb that wouldn’t fight back; she reached out to scratch Tan Zhongzhong, and soon the two were scuffling together.
Tan Zhongzhong was tall and strong, whereas Little Wang Clan had nails — she excelled in scratching and pinching. Both had their own strengths, making it hard to tell who might prevail.
Tan Yuancheng knocked on his smoking pipe, "Stop it, both of you, or I’ll kick you out!"
Tan Zhongzhong withdrew his hand resentfully, but Little Wang Clan was not the least bit afraid and stretched out her hand to scratch Tan Zhongzhong once more.
"Dad, if you’ve forgotten, I’ll fetch a few witnesses," Tan Zhongzhong said slowly.
Little Wang Clan yelled toward the bedroom, "Tan Zhengyong, someone is robbing us blind under our own roof, and you’re still sleeping? Are you a dead pig or what?"
Tan Zhengyong quickly appeared, seeing the marks on his wife’s face, he immediately asked, "Wife, what happened?"
"Her mouth was asking for it," the Wang Clan said irately.
Little Wang Clan gritted her teeth, but she still dared not offend the Wang Clan and could only suppress her rage.
Each harbored their own schemes within the main room, and the row had roused Xiao Fu, who started to cry, yet no resolution was reached.
Tan Zhongzhong returned home first to hold his son, but this by no means represented he would just give up.
