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

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is probably something that the people of Qinghewan will never forget in the coming years.

The gunpowder exploded and flames shot into the sky.

In the biting cold wind, the whole village tried their best to put out the fire.

While putting out the fire, he cursed Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian was completely numb. It would be more accurate to say that he was numbed by fate rather than the explosion of gunpowder.

He looked at the villagers who were running back and forth to put out the fire, and at Tong Huaqiong and Gu Jingzhe, and his heart was colder than the icicles under the eaves.

The desire to make great achievements and stir up trouble in this era was shattered by gunpowder.

He couldn't understand why he, as a time traveler, was having such a miserable time.

She is not even as good as Gu Taohua, a girl.

Almost, he almost turned over.

He discovered the extreme cold weather, but not only did he fail to help the Zheng family take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, he also caused the Zheng family to lose money inexplicably.

He invented heavy firearms, but they exploded on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Fate is never on his side.

There has never been so many times in the past that I want to go back to the afterlife more than I do now.

In that family in the future, he was still the pampered and beloved Yaozu, loved by his parents, taken care of by his sisters, and praised by the whole village.

Tong Huaqiong felt someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw Gu Ruinian standing in the corridor. The culprit did not even go to put out the fire.

Tong Huaqiong stared at Gu Ruinian in the firelight.

Gu Ruinian felt creepy when Tong Huaqiong looked at him.

"Shopkeeper Tong." Fan Tong came out of the house and greeted Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong asked Fan Tong: "Why did you come to Qinghe Bay?"

Fan Tong and Gu Honglian agreed to go to the town to watch the lanterns. After waiting for a long time, Gu Honglian did not show up in the town, so Fan Tong bravely came to Qinghe Bay.

As soon as they arrived at the Gu family's old house, they happened to hear Gu Ruinian's gunpowder explode.

Fan Tong naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, so he avoided the question and said, "I came to see Master Su."

"Oh." Tong Huaqiong had no expression on her face.

Tong Huaqiong didn't care at all why Fan Tong came to Qinghe Bay. Anyway, he was not here to seduce Gu Taohua.

Fan Tong felt embarrassed when he saw Tong Huaqiong ignored him.

I felt very upset when I saw Gu Taohua leading the people from the weaving workshop to help put out the fire.

Compared to being Gu Taohua's uncle-in-law, he would rather be Gu Taohua's husband.

The whole village worked until dawn to put out the fire in the cellar.

Four or five in the morning is the coldest time of the day. Everyone was numb from the cold. With the help of other wives in the village, Wei made ginger tea and served bowls of it to everyone.

Wei hated Gu Ruinian for making gunpowder privately, and hated Jia for crying in the house as if it had nothing to do with her.

The whole village was busy and there was not even a bowl of hot soup. Tomorrow, both she and Fengnian would be ostracized.

Wei suppressed her emotions and served tea and fruits to thank everyone for their help.

Everyone was inevitably angry that Grandpa Gu didn't even give them a bowl of hot tea, but when they saw the way Wei and Gu Fengnian acted, their anger dissipated.

After everyone finished drinking the ginger tea, they went back to rest.

Before leaving, the village chief sternly warned everyone that the matter of gunpowder should be kept secret and no one should reveal a word to anyone else, otherwise the higher-ups would investigate and the whole village would be punished together.

Fortunately, everyone knew the dangers of privately making gunpowder and promised not to tell anyone about it.

Even Xu Dabao and Xu Erbao, who wanted to tip off the village chief, did not dare to act rashly after hearing what the village chief said, for fear that the Xu family would be implicated.

"Chief, Ruinian is too bold. If I hadn't stopped him, the villagers would have expelled Ruinian. Now that I have pacified the villagers, let's see how we deal with Ruinian. I have to give an explanation to the villagers." The village chief said to the second uncle of the Gu family and the head of the Gu family.

The village chief’s attitude is that Gu Ruinian’s behavior of privately making gunpowder is unforgivable and must be severely punished.

This kind of punishment can only be carried out by the Gu family.

Uncle Gu understood what the village chief meant.

So all the villagers who were involved in the firefighting were sent out, and Uncle Gu asked all the Gu family members to stay behind.

In the past, the clan turned a blind eye to Gu Ruinian’s actions.

Now the gunpowder exploded right before their eyes, making the tribe members both frightened and angry.

The crime of privately manufacturing gunpowder is so serious that it is being kept secret in the village. The Gu family cannot ignore it.

Gu Ruinian wants to drag the entire clan into this.

Uncle Gu's chest heaved with anger, and Gu Jingzhe stepped forward to support Uncle Gu.

Uncle Gu's rage increased when he was supported by Gu Jingzhe.

The Gu family finally had a good time and a top candidate, Gu Jingzhe, was born. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a juren this year and go to Beijing for the palace examination next year.

This thigh-thick Qingyan was almost blown to pieces by Gu Ruinian. How could Second Uncle Gu not be angry?

Now that his elder brother, Grandpa Gu, is lying in bed, he will take over the responsibility of dealing with this evil person, Gu Ruinian, on his behalf.

The clan leader is now in the process of unfollowing Gu Ruinian and turning against him.

He was the one who pushed Gu Ruinian out to fight against Gu Jingzhe and Tong Huaqiong. Now he wishes he could poke his own eyes out. Because of this scandal, his prestige in the clan is getting lower and lower.

Without waiting for Uncle Gu to speak, the clan leader stepped forward and questioned Gu Ruinian.

"Ruinian, do you admit your guilt?"

Gu Ruinian gritted his teeth.

He had decided not to fight against fate.

"I know I'm guilty." Gu Ruinian slid to his knees with a plop.

When the gunpowder explodes, he will become a discarded pawn of the second son of Zheng.

Now that Mr. Gu no longer protects him, he knows that if he doesn’t kneel down, he will be finished.

Once he is expelled from the tribe, he will have no one to rely on.

"Clan leader, second grandfather, I didn't know that making gunpowder was illegal. If I had known, I would never have dared to do it even if I were beaten to death. I was also deceived by others. Just think about it, how could I have the money to buy the materials for the gunpowder." Gu Ruinian knelt in the snow and shivered, but he did not forget to defend himself.

There's no use saying this.

The clan leader felt that if he didn't punish Gu Ruinian severely, he would have no chance of continuing to be the clan leader after today.

Facing the angry eyes of the tribesmen, the tribe leader waved his hand, and his grandson Gu Dahu brought two young men from the tribe, carrying a wooden stool and came to Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian stared at the wooden stool blankly without reacting.

The patriarch waved his hand again, Gu Dahu picked up Gu Ruinian and pressed him on a stool, and someone handed the whip in his hand to the patriarch.

Before Gu Ruinian could figure out what was happening, he was held down by his hands and feet and his thick clothes were stripped off, and soon the clan leader whipped him.

Gu Ruinian let out a howl, realizing that this was the legendary family rule of the clan.

The clan leader became ruthless and whipped Gu Ruinian on his back, buttocks and thighs again and again. When he was tired, he called a strong member of the Gu family from the crowd and ordered him to whip him for him.

The clan leader originally wanted Gu Dahan to smoke for him, but Gu Dahan didn't even look at him.

The young men of the Gu family hated Gu Ruinian for almost getting them into trouble, and they beat him without mercy.

Soon, Gu Ruinian's back to thighs were beaten until blood was dripping.

It was freezing cold, and Gu Ruinian was wearing only a thin layer of clothing. After being whipped, he felt like he had rolled around in hell.

At first, the screams were like those of a pig being slaughtered, but then they died down.

Jia cried and tried to stop them, but was held down by Gu Youtian.

Everyone in the Gu family stood in the corridor and watched Gu Ruinian being punished. Old Man Gu lay on the bed, listening to the noise outside with an expressionless face.

Old Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth, thinking to herself not to destroy the family roots. She also wanted to give Gu Ruinian to the Xu family in exchange for some money to buy a dowry for Gu Honglian.
