My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 294: Chapter 296 You’re Blind!_1

"Mom, I got caught in the rain, make me some medicine to drink."

"Medicine is so expensive now, and you’re such a good-for-nothing, even giving it to you would be a waste!" Wang Clan glared at Tan Zhengyuan.

A dose of medicine costs a fortune; normal people just grit their teeth through a fever, drinking more water and resting, and they’re fine in a few days.

It’s only Tan Zhengyuan, this family ruiner, who wants medicine for the slightest discomfort.

Tan Zhengyuan exploded. He was already in a foul mood because he hadn’t harvested even half of his three acres of land, then Widow Xu had nagged him for ages when he got home, and now Wang Clan too!

When would it ever end?

Did they think he was made of clay, without any temper at all?

"I admit I’m useless, not as lucky as my second brother who dines and drinks every day without a worry, while I have everything on my shoulders."

Tan Zhengyuan said sourly. They were both sons, so why was there such a big difference?

"It’s true, you’re unfortunate, can’t even have a son."

Wang Clan said disdainfully. She always spoke her mind, without a care for others’ feelings.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to offend everyone in Big Willow Village.

Tan Zhengyuan spoke deliberately, word by word, "Li Niang will bear me a son, you better prepare twenty taels."

"Oh really, such big talk, look at yourself, you’ve lost all face for the Tan Family! How dare you ask for twenty taels? Hanging around that damned vixen all day, don’t you know she hooked up with others the moment her husband died? You must be blind and brainless!"

Wang Clan spoke quickly, spewing out a string of insults.

After catching her breath, she blurted out a few more curses.

Tan Zhengyuan insisted, "Mom, lots of people heard it, twenty taels for a son, are you trying to deny it?"

"I don’t recognize that cheap woman’s brat. Get out, I get angry just seeing you!"

Wang Clan pushed Tan Zhengyuan towards the door. Bringing Widow Xu into the family had almost driven her mad, and now he was bringing up the matter of silver again? Was he asking for trouble?

She had only said that to shut people up, she hadn’t expected everyone to take it seriously.

In the past few years, Fourth Boss had saved quite a bit of money from hunting, but what was left after building a house and buying land?

After the family split, they had a total of thirty taels of silver, but Third Boss had gobbled up a good chunk of it, otherwise Little Wang Clan wouldn’t have been so angered she went back to her parents’ house.

After Tan Zhengyuan left, Wang Clan slammed the door shut.

"Hmph, we’ll see if you get to decide whether or not you get it then."

Tan Zhengyuan muttered under his breath, then headed to his own room. He had ways to pry out what was rightfully his!

Inside the Main Room bedroom, Tan Yuancheng was puffing on a hookah, having heard everything that his eldest had just said.

His brows were furrowed tightly – he’d really dug himself a hole to bury himself in.

Wang Clan spoke irritably, "Look at the sort you are!"

"Didn’t I come from your stomach? What’s the use of blaming me only?" retorted Tan Yuancheng, equally irritated.

"Fine, it’s my fault. When Eldest comes to dig out the silver, you’d better think of a solution yourself. He’s not going to empty my coffin savings!" Wang Clan said, hands on hips.

How could she get by without some silver in her hands?

When she got old, she’d need that silver for medical treatment, and then people would take care of her for the sake of the silver.

Tan Yuancheng sighed once more and pressed his lips together, saying no more.

The reason was simple: only Wang Clan could keep their sons in line in this house.

If Wang Clan went on strike, what would he do?
