The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

Chapter 417 - She ran a high fever that night. (1)

When Tong Xuelu saw the letter, she felt that a heavy burden had finally been lifted off of her shoulder.

In the original novel, the Tong siblings’ misfortune stemmed from the old Tong family. Xie Jinhua, in particular. She was like an old witch.As Tong Mianmian was violated when she was a child, she lived the rest of her life traumatized. And finally decided to take her own life. Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin did not fare much better.Now that this old witch was done for. The Tong siblings would not end up that way.Tong Xuelu only shared selected parts of the letter. She skipped over the part where their grandfather had set Xie Jinhua up. She only said that Xie Jinhua had broken the law and would be executed.Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were shocked when they heard that.“Big Sister, what happened to Grandma… I mean Grandaunty would not affect us?” Tong Jiaming frowned.Tong Xuelu shook her head. “You don’t need to worry about that. Grandpa had it all taken care of. We are the Xiao’s from now on. We are no longer the Tong’s.”Tong Jiaxin, “I thought you and I are keeping our old surname?”Tong Xuelu, “You can have more than one surname under the same household registrar. From now on, we belong to the Xiao household. It had nothing to do with what we use as our surname.”Their household register would be moved over to the Xiao’s side. Tong Xuelu and Tong Jiaxin, however, would retain their grandmother’s surname.Tong Xuelu wasn’t sure if that was doable in this day and age. But given their grandfather’s status and network, that should not be a problem at all.So they would not need to worry about that.Learning that they would not be affected by Xie Jinhua’s incident, the Tong brothers let out a sigh of relief.Tong Mianmian looked from one to the other with her big eyes and she looked dazed.Mooncake cocked its head and there was the same puzzlement in its eyes.It looked really cute.***This morning, Tong Xuelu noticed that it was snowing outside when she woke up.The snow was still falling and there was a layer of while on the eaves, the roof, and the trees. The branches had turned into clear icicles and the whole world looked different.Tong Xuelu could see her own breath and she really did not want to go to work.One should just stay and bed and do nothing on a day like this.Unfortunately, as cold as the weather was, she still needed to go into work. She quickly go up and started breakfast.The immediate cold breeze when she opened the door made her sneeze. Xiao Lu, who was looking for food on the snow-covered ground, was started. The snow-covered ground was immediately covered by a string of chicken feet marks.Tong Xuelu tossed the dumplings she made the night before into the pot. Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were up before the dumplings were ready.During breakfast, she asked them, “I seemed to remember that your final examinations are today?”Tong Jiaxin retracted his neck when he heard that and he lowered his head even more.Tong Jiaming nodded. “Yes, today is final examination day.”Tong Xuelu gave Tong Jiaxin a look. “Put in your best effort. We are no longer family with the Tong’s but our wager still stands. I can’t send you back to the Tong’s, but I can send you to keep your grandpa company!”Tong Jiaxin, who was hoping that he had lucked out, “……”He had been studying very hard in the past. Up until a week ago when he learned that they were no longer family with the Tong’s, he couldn't help but let his guard down.He thought their wager no longer applied. Low and behold, Tong Xuelu had it all thought out.Wuwu, Big Sister was so scary!After breakfast, those who needed to go to work went to work and those who needed to go to school went to school. Tong Mianmian, as usual, was taken over to the Wei’s.The Wei’s had been more than happy to help out the Tong siblings when they were orphans. Now that they had learned that they were Commander Xiao’s grandchildren, they were even happier. They treated the Tong’s kids as if they were their own.
