The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Gu Dashu opened his palm and waved it in front of Gu Jingzhe.

"What's the matter? Are you so happy when you heard that mother earned fifty taels of silver?" Gu Dashu asked with a happy face.

Gu Jingzhe didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mother can actually earn fifty taels of silver?

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but his mother has never shown any ability to make money except for being unreasonable and throwing tantrums.

If she had the ability to make money, why didn't she use it before?

"Second brother, don't lie to me." Gu Jingzhe said with red eyes.

It would be better for him to ask clearly. If he believed it easily and it turned out to be false, the blow would be even greater.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Gu Dashu is a little dissatisfied with Gu Jingzhe.

What does this mean, third brother? You are looking down on mother!

The third brother may not believe what he said, but he cannot look down on mother.

"Gu Jingzhe, you think you are the only one in your family who is good at studying and you are very capable, right? You think that except you, no one else can earn fifty taels of silver, right?" Gu Dashu's face was unhappy and his tone was full of condemnation.

"You are so knowledgeable that even your mother looks down on you. Think about it, can our mother be an ordinary person? Just because she is the only one in the village who allows her son to study, she has such courage and insight, you can't look down on her."

Although Gu Dashu is a bit unruly, his understanding of his mother is far superior to that of Gu Jingzhe.

Gu Jingzhe opened his mouth and said in a muffled voice after a long while, "How could I look down on mother? I don't believe that mother can earn fifty taels of silver from selling cakes in just a few days. I saw mother selling cakes in the town yesterday, and I also know that mother sells mung bean cakes for one yuan and six cents, mung bean cakes for one yuan and eight cents, and dry cakes for one yuan and three cents. I estimate that two baskets of cakes can be sold for a maximum of five taels of silver, and this has not yet deducted the cost. Mother has only been selling cakes for a few days? It's good enough to earn seven or eight taels in these few days."

Otherwise, why do people say Gu Jingzhe is a genius boy? He figured out how much Tong Huaqiong's two baskets of cakes sold for after a little calculation.

These valleys are not understood.

"You're right! Mom does make more than just selling cakes and pastries on the stall." Gu Dashu nodded.

Gu Jingzhe's heart beat like a drum when he heard this.

He thought of how his widowed mother went to the Zheng family to break off the engagement by giving up her reputation. Could it be that this silver was also earned by his widowed mother in exchange for her reputation?

If that's the case, he deserves to die.

"I'll tell you the truth." Gu Dashu said, "Mr. Huang bought our mung bean cakes, saying they were better than those from Sushiyuan. His mother had a birthday a few days ago, and she said she was tired of the cakes from Sushiyuan, so she wanted to try something new, so she ordered a batch of cakes from her mother for the birthday party. My mother asked Mr. Huang for fifty taels of silver as a deposit, and he gave it to her."

"I saw the silver clearly yesterday. If you don't believe me, go home and see it for yourself."

"You know what? Rich people are really willing to spend money for mom's birthday. Think about it, we two brothers are too unfilial. We should have earned money to support mom, but now she is the one making money to clean up our messes."

Gu Dashu's voice was muffled, and his eyes were full of regret.

When Gu Jingzhe heard this, he thought of the back of his widowed mother selling cakes yesterday, and he felt mixed emotions and his eyes turned red again.

"I came to the private school specifically to ask you to go home. The wheat is growing rapidly now and needs you and me to take care of it. Mom is making money by making cakes now. We can't let her take care of the fields anymore. Don't even think about studying from now on. Our family doesn't have the conditions for it. It's not often that we meet a great enemy like Mr. Huang."

"Come back with me and apologize to your mother. Don't think about it anymore and just stay at home and farm."

Gu Dashu gave Gu Jingzhe a lesson.

Gu Jingzhe naturally didn't want to farm. If he had a choice, he would still like to study.

But after thinking about it, what his second brother said made sense. His widowed mother earned money to support the family, so naturally he and his second brother would have to do the work in the fields.

He planned to go home first to harvest this season's wheat, and then wait until the slack season to find a job as an accountant for a wealthy family in the county or the provincial capital, and try hard to gain the favor of the master, so that maybe he could continue his studies.

"Okay, second brother, I'll go home with you."

Gu Jingzhe gritted his teeth and stood up.

Gu Dashu accompanied Gu Jingzhe to their residence to pack bedding and clothes and rolled up a big bag.

After packing up, Gu Jingzhe said goodbye to the teacher. The teacher initially thought that Gu Jingzhe was going to study at Wanliu Academy in the city and encouraged him a lot. But when he learned that Gu Jingzhe would no longer study, he expressed regret.

"...There is something I have wanted to tell you a long time ago. You are gifted and a good candidate for study. But you must remember that being a good person is more important than studying."

The teacher vaguely learned that the young man was going to sell his niece for his future, and he was extremely disappointed in him and wished he would leave as soon as possible.

Now that I know he will no longer be studying, I feel a little sad.

The teacher lamented that this talented young man was ruined by his perverted widowed mother.

Gu Jingzhe looked back every few steps and left the private school with Gu Dashu.

On the way, Gu Dashu told Gu Jingzhe what had happened at home in the past two days, focusing on the fact that Gu Baishuang came to give silver to the family and that Tong Huaqiong decided not to be buried in the family tomb after his death.

Gu Jingzhe remained silent after hearing this.

The hatred he felt towards Nie Xiaofeng for mocking him was reduced by half.

At the same time, he began to hate himself. He felt that it was his fault that Tong Huaqiong was not buried in the family tomb after her death.

All the developments were caused by my desire to study at Wanliu Academy.

If Tong Huaqiong knew that the conceited Gu Jingzhe, this evil bamboo, had also begun to reflect on himself, she would definitely feel a little relieved.

At this time, Tong Huaqiong was busy in the kitchen.

The first batch of date cakes is out of the oven!

The moment she opened the lid, Tong Huaqiong knew she had succeeded.

She had made this date cake many times in her previous life and adjusted the recipe many times. She could bake it with her eyes closed.

The aroma of the date cake made the dogs in the village bark non-stop.

Chen Sufen looked at her mother-in-law with admiration. She felt more and more that her mother-in-law was like a god. There was no pastry that she couldn't make.

"Emma, ​​mother, are your hands blessed by gods? How can you make date cakes so fragrant?"

Liu Yue'e was full of flattery.

She also smelled the fragrance of her mother-in-law's pastries a few days ago. She hadn't thought about anything because of Yaozu's affairs, but now that her worries were gone, she returned to her flattering state.

"No wonder mother can earn fifty taels of silver. This pastry is not inferior to the master chef of Sushiyuan."

Tong Huaqiong had a smile on her face. Next she was going to make date paste cakes, walnut cakes, chestnut cakes, sachima and other pastries.

The date cake is just a trial.

"It would taste better if there was an oven."

Tong Huaqiong is preparing to build a baking oven.

"Mom, can I have a piece first?" Gu Taohua's tone was full of pleading.

It smelled so good that it made all the gluttons in her stomach come out.

"Eat, eat, just eat! This is a sample for Mr. Huang's family." Tong Huaqiong frowned.

"I'll just eat one piece."

Gu Taohua faced Tong Huaqiong's disdainful gaze without flinching, and was willing to be beaten just for food.

"Grandma, I want to eat too." Maner said.

"And me." Yaozu shouted.

"Since Man'er wants to eat it, I'll cut a piece for you."

Just because Maner was able to take out things from the space, Tong Huaqiong couldn't refuse Maner's request.

Tong Huaqiong cut a piece with a knife, and then divided it into three pieces, one large and two small. She gave the big piece to Maner, and the two small pieces to Gu Taohua and Yaozu.

Gu Yaozu's nature of bullying Maner emerged. When he saw that the date cake in Maner's hand was bigger than his, he reached out to grab it.

It was snatched away by Tong Huaqiong.

"Liu Yue'e, if you don't discipline your son, I will let Butler He take him away tomorrow."

"It's only been one day, and you've been instigated into being a black-hearted person. Now you're bullying Man'er, will you bully me when you grow up?"

"Mom and Dad only give birth to children, not educate them. If you still don't teach me, I will find someone else to teach me."

Tong Huaqiong did not scold Yaozu, but only scolded Yaozu's mother Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e was embarrassed to be scolded in front of Chen Sufen, and was worried that she would really anger her mother-in-law, so she grabbed Yaozu and slapped him hard on the butt several times.

Tong Huaqiong just felt refreshed. Liu Yue'e's actions were always better than those of her grandmother.
