Not only was Tong Xingda roaring, but Zhu Hongyun was also complaining.
She was pregnant, and on such cold days, the fact that Tong Sanlang thought of outsiders instead of his own sister-in-law, her, showed he really ought to change his surname!
Amidst the outcry and muttering of these two people, Tong Tiehu remained calm, taking out ten taels of silver and instructing Tong Dalang to go to town to buy bricks.
"I already knew about this heating method; Sanlang told me about it long ago," he said.
"What? Dad, you already knew?" exclaimed Tong Xingda, "If you knew it all along, why didn't you set it up? You know how cold it was a few days ago when it was lightly snowing!"
Tong Tiehu gave him a displeased look upon hearing this, "You wear a fox fur coat, sheepskin pants, and have sheepskin boots on your feet, and you're still cold?"
Choked by these words, Tong Xingda fell silent.
