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

The whole family ran around in Tong Huaqiong's melon field.

Gu Taohua was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued reading the letter, "The mighty general is a very kind person. He warmly called me his nephew, asked me about my mother's condition, and asked me to say hello to her."

Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Taohua raised her head and looked at Tong Huaqiong, and couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

It seems that I almost became the general's daughter.

It was all her grandfather and uncle’s fault, as they had brought her start down to a low point.

Hong became excited and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Sister Tong, did you hear that Brother Hanniu is actually a mighty general."

Tong Huaqiong thought that Min Hanniu’s childhood sweetheart was not her, but Tong Dajiao.

However, Gu Dashu is lucky enough. When he arrived at the border, he met Tong Dajiao's childhood sweetheart. He will definitely achieve great things.

After all, the lethality of the white moonlight is terrifying. As Min Hanniu's white moonlight, everything around Tong Dajiao will be lit up in Min Hanniu's eyes.

Tong Huaqiong roughly understood that Su Chengmin was Min Hanniu's nephew.

No wonder he was so familiar with the border, and no wonder he could join the army on the spot when he arrived at the border.

After listening to the letter, everyone was relieved to hear that Gu Dashu and others were safe at the border, but what interested everyone the most was the identity of the mighty general.

After all, in Dasheng, no one, from the highest to the lowest, didn’t know about the mighty general.

In the teahouse, storytellers would tell anecdotes about the mighty general's rise from a cowherd to a great general. During the New Year's Festival, opera troupes would perform the legend of the mighty general who single-handedly took down the head of an enemy general when he was still a lieutenant...

But what everyone doesn’t know is that the cowherd boy who escaped from Heilongtan that year was actually the mighty general.

This news is simply too explosive.

What made the Gu family even more shocked was that this mighty general and Tong Dajiao were childhood sweethearts.

It's a real life where we don't meet.

"Did your second brother say in the letter when he would be back?" Liu Yue'e asked.

Gu Taohua turned her attention back to the letter she had not finished reading.

Without mentioning the mighty general, Gu Dashu mentioned in the letter that the border war was extremely tense between the two sides and it was unclear when the war would end, so he and He Chao could not return to Ningcheng for a while.

Liu Yue'e was worried and disappointed.

Gu Dashu finally mentioned that Nie Xiaofeng met Tian Chunwang in the military camp.

Tian Chunwang was also quite capable. Originally, he was not old enough to join the army, but he used money to replace someone else's identity in Ningcheng and successfully joined the army.

It was only when he arrived at the border that he realized the cruelty of war.

During a battle, when his superior was exhausted after repelling the enemy, he wanted to chop his superior from behind to take all the credit. However, his comrades saw through his plan and cut off one of his arms. He was later punished by military law.

"Why is this kid so bad? He hurts people again and again at such a young age. What grudge does his superior have against him that he wants to kill someone from behind?" Chen Sufen cursed with gritting her teeth.

"It's a good treatment. If Chunwang is not dealt with, he might commit treason. This kid is really capable." Liu Yue'e said.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but sigh when she heard the news about Chunwang. This kid is really brave and dares to go to the battlefield at such a young age.

But he was brought up in a wrong way, and he actually did something like killing his superiors to gain military merit.

Liu Yue'e is right. People like Chunwang might commit treason.

Such a person was punished by military law and it was his own fault. Tong Huaqiong had no sympathy for him at all.

I just wonder what Mrs. Luo would think when she finds out that her eldest grandson was sentenced to military law.

Although there is no sign of Gu Dashu and He Chao's return, the news that they are safe still brings some comfort to the whole family.

Master Su, who had been silent the whole time, said, "We will definitely win this battle with Mobei, and we will be back in the hot summer within two years."

Although Master Su was just a teacher in a rural private school, everyone believed what he said.

But aren’t these two years a bit too long?

Tong Huaqiong hopes that the war will end soon, not only so that Dashu and He Chao can come back earlier, but also so that her border business can proceed smoothly.

Ever since the war between the two countries went to war, the people in the Ningcheng area have been living in fear. If the border city is breached, the people from Mobei will march straight in and kill their way to Ningcheng without any obstacles. At that time, the only ones who will suffer will be the unarmed civilians.

Such tragic situations have occurred in history.

Mr. Su’s conclusion made everyone enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner more.

Plate after plate of dumplings were brought to the table, and Tong Huaqiong asked the maids and old women to sit down and eat and drink together.

The room was warm, but outside it was freezing cold.

This winter was indeed the coldest winter Tong Huaqiong had ever experienced in her entire life.

But it will be over soon.

Snowflakes started falling outside again, instantly turning from salt particles into heavy snow.

Gu Dahan stared at the snow outside and murmured, "I wonder how long this cold weather will last? I heard it will last until May."

The family’s biggest concern about the weather is the severe cold of the valley.

Gu Dahan is in charge of the family's land, and farmers hate abnormal weather the most.

These days, Gu Dahan is worried every day that if the weather continues to be cold and spring plowing is delayed, all the crops for the year will be wasted.

Tong Huaqiong said: "It is false news spread by the Zheng family that the cold weather will last until May in order to sell charcoal at a high price."

County Magistrate Liu caught the person who spread the news and punished him.

However, the news that the extreme cold weather will continue until summer is still deeply rooted in people's minds.

It can be said that it takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them.

In Tong Dajiao's memory, this wave of extreme cold weather came and went quickly.

After the spring, heavy snow will fall again, and the weather shows no sign of warming up.

While everyone was in a panic, the weather was gradually getting warmer.

It was also because the weather suddenly turned warm that the bodies that had frozen to death in the extreme cold weather and were buried in the snow were exposed. They began to rot after being blown by the spring breeze, and soon the entire Ningcheng was plunged into plague.

The disaster brought by the plague is even more terrible.

More people died from this plague than from the extreme cold.

Every village carried dead bodies out every day, and many people fled despite being stopped. Some villages were soon empty due to the death and escape.

The entire Ningcheng was shrouded in panic. The plague affected spring ploughing, causing food prices to rise and hunger to begin.

This extreme cold weather was resolved by Tong Huaqiong, the Lu family and the Huang family.

There will be no more plagues after the spring, nor will there be the tragic scene of no one left for spring ploughing.

Tong Pandi, the reborn person, finished swallowing the dumplings in his mouth and said to Gu Dahan: "Brother Dahan, don't worry, the weather will warm up soon after the spring."

Tong Pandi witnessed Tong Huaqiong's response to the extreme cold weather and could not help but admire her.

My aunt is not a reborn person. The charcoal she stored in the summer saved so many people by accident.

As a reborn person, the most she can do is to influence the people around her to stock up more coal and wear more cotton clothes. For more things, she has no other way to do it.

It can neither change the rapid rise in coal prices nor the plague that occurred after the spring.

All of these were resolved by the charcoal that my aunt had stored.
