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

Due to Gu Ruinian's involvement, Wu Ji's shop's business plummeted.

It's like falling to the bottom of a valley, and I'm afraid I won't be able to climb up.

No one stepped through the door for several days.

No matter whether they lowered the price or gave away a set of grates when buying a pot, they didn't receive a single order.

Wu Ren's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it.

Gu Youtian was so angry that he wanted to kick Gu Ruinian's left leg to pieces.

Wu Ji's business is so bad, and Mr. Gu and others have nothing to do in the shop. It is impossible for Wu Ji to support so many idle people.

Wu Ren's words and deeds implied that he was trying to drive people away, so Mr. Gu planned to wait until the splint on Ruinian's leg was removed and then he and Mrs. Gu would take Ruinian home. Jia and Gu Fengnian would follow them. Gu Youtian would not go back because he wanted to save Wu Ji.

After all, Wu Ji is his only chance at the moment, and he is unwilling to see Wu Ji close down.

Jufulai, opposite Wu Ji, is still doing brisk business.

Gu Honglian still ran to Tong Huaqiong every morning and revealed information about the Gu family's old house and the second branch to Tong Huaqiong.

That day after Gu Honglian left, Wei came to the door.

It was Grandpa Gu who arranged for Wei to come to visit. He said that he wanted to thank Gu Dashu and Gu Baishuang on behalf of the old house for their help in finding out the news about Gu Ruinian.

Gu Baishuang and Gu Dashu didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Tong Huaqiong sneered. Mr. Gu wanted Wei to ease the relationship between the two sides. He knew that Tong Huaqiong had no grudge against Wei and always gave Wei some face.

Wei saw Tong Huaqiong looking embarrassed.

Ever since her attempt to get Tong Huaqiong to ask her to work at Taohua Dessert was ruthlessly exposed by Tong Huaqiong last time, she has never visited Tong Huaqiong again.

Wei was more ashamed than the people in the second house, and she was too embarrassed to see Tong Huaqiong.

Of course, she didn't come here today entirely because Mr. Gu sent her, but because she wanted to come on her own.

"Auntie, Fengnian and I will go home in the next few days. Fengnian has no business acumen, and he won't be able to find a good job if he stays in Pingchuan County. It's better for us to return to Qinghewan and live a down-to-earth life. After the autumn harvest this year, I will propose to divide the family. After the division, I will lease a few acres of land. I am skillful and I can sell embroidery, so I can live a good life." Wei told Tong Huaqiong about her plan to return to Qinghewan.

Tong Huaqiong had nothing to say about this.

It's a good thing that Wei and Gu Fengnian can live a good life without making trouble.

Wei is not that confused.

Since she is good at embroidery, when Tong Huaqiong's embroidery workshop opens in the fall, she might be allowed to come and do some work.

However, Tong Huaqiong did not intend to tell her at this time. After all, the Wei family and the second branch had not yet separated.

If there is no separation, they are all considered "enemies".

A few days later, the village chief Liu Tielian and Mr. Gu’s younger brother, Uncle Gu, came to Pingchuan County.

It is said that when the Xu family learned that Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian had an affair and were locked up in the family temple by the Zheng family, what was waiting for her was the ancient Buddha and the green lamp. The Xu family did not dare to deal with the Zheng family, and they rushed into the Gu family's old house and smashed things in anger.

Not only that, Xu Zaohua's father Xu Jin brought all the Xu family members to the home of the head of the Gu family, demanding an explanation from the head of the Gu family, and threatened to hand Gu Ruinian over to the Xu family for punishment.

As the village chief, Liu Tielian managed to temporarily suppress the matter. Then he and Uncle Gu went to Pingchuan to inform Old Man Gu and others and discuss how to deal with the matter.

Liu Tielian was worried that if the Xu family rioted and beat someone to death after Gu Ruinian returned to the village, it would be his responsibility as the village chief.

County Magistrate Liu said that the death penalty is not allowed in the village.

Liu Tielian and Uncle Gu first came to Jufulai to find Tong Huaqiong, firstly to confirm whether the affair between Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian was true, and secondly to ask Tong Huaqiong for advice on how to calm the Xu family's anger.

When they arrived at Jufulai, before they met Tong Huaqiong to confirm the matter with her, they heard customers talking about it.

Jufulai is the most popular shopping spot in Pingchuan, and it concentrates all the gossip in Pingchuan County. The affairs of Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua have been on the hot search list in recent days. When Uncle Gu heard people discussing the affair between Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Unfilial nephew, bastard, disgrace to the Gu family.

When Tong Huaqiong was seeing off County Magistrate Liu's mother, she saw Liu Tielian and Uncle Gu hanging around at the door.

"Village Chief, Second Uncle, why are you here?"

Tong Huaqiong invited the person into the house with a look of surprise.

Liu Tielian told Tong Huaqiong the purpose of his visit. Uncle Gu was so angry that his face turned blue and he didn't say a word.

"You said that Ruinian is really confused about this matter. Dashu Niang, what do you think we should do? The Xu family is now trying to kill Gu Ruinian." Liu Tielian wiped the sweat from his face, drank a pot of sour plum soup, and told Tong Huaqiong about how the Xu family smashed the old house and wanted to kill Gu Ruinian.

As a villager of Qinghewan, Gu Ruinian, as the village chief, felt ashamed that such a thing had happened.

"It's hard for me to say about this matter. You should go and ask the old man for his advice." Tong Huaqiong said.

Gu Ruinian is not her son, so it’s none of her business.

The village chief was also confused and asked her for advice.

Xu Jin was not an easy person to get along with. He always wanted to take advantage of others. Now that he had lost a daughter and his capable in-laws, the Zheng family, how could they let Gu Ruinian go?

Tong Huaqiong took Liu Tielian and Uncle Gu to Wu Ji.

Wu Ren snorted when he saw Tong Huaqiong coming to his house, and Tong Huaqiong rolled her eyes in return, saying that if she couldn't snatch the business from him, she would be so angry that she would die.

When I entered the house, Gu Youtian was not there, only Old Man Gu and others.

When Uncle Gu saw Gu Ruinian with his legs tied on the bed, he was so angry that he wanted to punch him a few times.

When Gu Ruinian saw Tong Huaqiong coming in, his eyes instantly flashed with hatred.

His plan failed, thanks to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Ruinian is lucky to be able to come out safe and sound."

Anyway, Gu Ruinian is just a grasshopper in autumn and poses no threat to her, so she can ridicule him however she wants.

Gu Ruinian finally gave in under Tong Huaqiong's gaze and turned his head away.

After Liu Tielian and Uncle Gu sat down and told them what happened in the village, Old Man Gu became furious.

While they were away, Xu Jin raided his house.

Old Madam Gu was so angry that her eyes were swollen. She cried and cursed, "Village Chief, his second uncle, this is not Ruinian's fault. It was that bitch Xu Zaohua who seduced him. How old is Ruinian? He has never held a woman's hand in his life. How could he resist a widow like Xu Zaohua who wants men?"

Liu Tielian looked embarrassed, while Uncle Gu's face turned dark.

Jia followed her mother-in-law and shouted, "The good daughter raised by the Xu family ruined my son. I haven't settled the score with Xu Jin yet, how dare they come to my house?"

Jia wanted to go back to Qinghewan, pick up a knife and fight with Xu Jin's family.

Ruinian's legs were crippled and she lost her qualifications to be an official. She had no hope and no longer wanted to live.

Second Uncle Gu couldn't help but say, "Yes, yes, it was Xu Zaohua who seduced Ruinian. If Ruinian had the willpower, how could he be seduced by Xu Zaohua? Did Xu Zaohua take off Ruinian's pants or press him on the bed? Don't blame Xu Zaohua. I think this is all caused by you spoiling Ruinian too much. Ruinian has been looking down on people all day long since he returned to Qinghe Bay. I know Ruinian's thoughts very well. He thinks the village is poor and the Gu family has no help, and he wants to climb up the social ladder. If he didn't want to get benefits from Zaohua, how could he fall for Zaohua?"

"In the final analysis, it was Ruinian's own misconduct that led to this disaster."

Uncle Gu's words made Old Man Gu look extremely embarrassed.

Liu Tielian was calm and composed. He had wanted to say this for a long time, but was embarrassed to speak because Mr. Gu was his elder. It was fortunate that Second Uncle Gu spoke first so he didn't have to think about the words.
