After Tang Xiaoyu ran home angrily, she threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and cried so hard that her daughter was crying so sadly. Mrs. Liu immediately asked Tang Xiaoyu what happened.
"Those people outside are uniting to bully me and scold me!"
Tang Xiaoyu sniffed and told Mrs. Liu about the children in the town who were ostracizing her.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, her expression suddenly became unhappy.
Just when she was about to say something, Mrs. Tang came over in a hurry.
There were two maids behind him, one of whom was the one who went out with Tang Xiaoyu.
When Tang Xiaoyu went to find Mrs. Liu, the servant girl also hurriedly went to see Mrs. Tang and told her everything about the big locust tree.
When Mrs. Tang heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
She never expected that her granddaughter would want to spend ten taels to buy the toad from the mayor's house.
What she didn't expect even more was that her good granddaughter would offend all the children in the town all at once.
"grandmother!"
As soon as Tang Xiaoyu saw Mrs. Tang coming, she burst into tears without any money.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law can handle Xiaoyu's affairs, so there's no need to trouble Mom!"
Mrs. Liu thought Mrs. Tang had heard about Tang Xiaoyu being bullied, so she hurried over to take a look.
"You handle it, how do you handle it? Do you know how much trouble Xiaoyu has caused to the Tang family?" Mrs. Tang said angrily.
"Getting into trouble? Xiaoyu, what kind of trouble did you get into that made your grandmother so angry?"
Although Mrs. Liu is a bit silly, she also knows that Mrs. Tang usually doesn't get angry very much, but once she gets angry, it means that the matter is serious.
"No!"
Tang Xiaoyu immediately lowered his head.
A wise daughter is better than a mother.
When Ms. Liu saw her daughter's guilty look, how could she not know that there was something wrong inside.
"You come and tell Madam what happened?"
Mrs. Tang knew that Tang Xiaoyu had not told Mrs. Liu the truth, so she glanced at the maid beside her.
The servant girl immediately told briefly what Tang Xiaoyu had done at the big locust tree.
"Ten taels for a frog?" Mrs. Liu was even more confused.
"You think that's an ordinary frog? It's the mayor's frog. It's bigger than three large water tanks. Do you think you can buy it for ten taels?" Mrs. Tang asked angrily.
Frogs with three big tanks?
Mrs. Liu took a breath of cold air.
No matter how hard your brain tries, it can't figure out how big a frog the size of three water tanks is.
"Just buy the frog. Others won't sell it. Your daughter is so powerful that she uses her father's official position to pressure others." Mrs. Tang snorted coldly.
"Is something wrong?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Tang Xiaoyu and asked.
In fact, she was very confused in her heart. These things didn't sound serious, so why would the old lady be so angry?
"have!"
Tang Xiaoyu lowered his head and said Nuonuo.
"But those people are big liars. They say that their uncles and uncles are second- and third-grade officials!" Tang Xiaoyu said unconvinced.
"What's the meaning?"
Mrs. Liu looked confused.
Tang Xiaoyu told the story of a group of children applying for official positions among their relatives.
What about the third-rank minister of Taichang Temple, the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, minister, etc.
Mrs. Liu was speechless upon hearing this.
Xin said, these country kids who have never seen the world dare to say anything.
"You can use your father's official position to suppress others, why can't others?" Mrs. Tang on the side suddenly asked.
Mrs. Liu was stunned, then she realized what she was saying and looked at Mrs. Tang in shock, "Mom, are you saying what those children said is true?"
"Of course it's true!" Mrs. Tang said expressionlessly.
Liu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
I originally thought it was a kid's joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.
At this moment, she immediately understood why Mrs. Tang looked so serious just now, and said that Xiaoyu had caused a big trouble.
You must know that no one with any official position can be offended by her husband's fourth-grade prefect.
What's more, he offended so many people at once.
Tang Xiaoyu is not stupid either.
Before, she thought those people were telling lies, but now that she knew they were true, her face turned pale.
"I know that since you came to the town, you have criticized the town and feel that you are superior to others, but you don't know that this town is the place that is out of reach for us!"
Mrs. Tang sighed.
In fact, she didn't know this when she first came to the town, but after getting real contact with it, she realized that this town was not simple.
"Don't think I'm lying to you. Many people in this town look ordinary, but in reality, our Tang family is simply not qualified in front of others!
For example, the old Sun family next door to our house has two sons who are officials in the capital. There is also the Zhou family who visited our house last time. Not only do some of their children work as officials, but some of them are engaged in business. In other words, they are as rich as the country.
It’s not an exaggeration!”
Mrs. Tang suddenly felt regretful.
Regret why you didn’t tell Liu and his daughter about the town’s affairs?
Why do you regret that you want the Liu family and her daughter to make friends with the residents of the town without any interests involved?
But now it's too late to regret.
And at this moment.
Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard that the Sun family next door had two sons who were officials in the capital.
She does know about the Sun family next door.
One time, Mrs. Tang was not at home, and the old lady from the Sun family next door brought some vegetables.
At that time, Ms. Liu was still somewhat resistant.
After all, the old lady was wearing coarse linen clothes and her hands and feet were stained with mud. She must have just come from the fields.
But as an official's wife, Mrs. Liu naturally would not show her joy or anger, and accepted the dishes politely.
Because she thought the old lady was dirty, she didn't invite the old lady from the Sun family to come in and sit down.
But such a person actually has two sons of imperial officials, how could she not be shocked in her heart.
"Mom, what do you think we should do about this?"
Mrs. Liu suddenly felt panicked.
"Now I know I'm afraid!"
Mrs. Tang sighed inwardly and blamed her for not telling Mrs. Liu what happened, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten into this situation.
"Grandma, I think we should go to the mayor's house in person to apologize!"
Suddenly, a clear voice came.
Tang Qingshan walked into the house slowly.
In fact, he arrived very early, but he was just outside listening and had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Why should we apologize to the mayor!" Tang Xiaoyu was unhappy.
Tang Qingshan shook his head, "In the final analysis, this matter started because you wanted to buy the frog raised by the mayor's family, and those people couldn't stand your behavior, so they revealed the official positions of their relatives!"
"As long as I get the understanding of the mayor's family, I don't think anyone else will say anything!"
"What Qingshan said is also what I think!" Mrs. Tang nodded.
"Mom, should we prepare some expensive gifts?" Ms. Liu was most concerned about her husband's official position.
"Expensive gifts may not be appreciated by the mayor and his family, but the most important thing is the thought!"
Mrs. Tang sighed inwardly. She had been in the town for a while and had heard some things.
"Grandma, I came here this time and brought a calligraphy and painting by a great scholar collected by my grandfather!" Tang Qingshan thought for a while and said aloud.
"Qingshan, how can you just give away that calligraphy and painting!"
Ms. Liu was a little anxious.
There were only a handful of great scholars in the entire Wei Dynasty, and their calligraphy and paintings were even rarer to come by. It was only by chance that the Tang family obtained such a calligraphy and painting.
