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

Mr. Gu quickly came out to smooth things over.

"You have always felt bad about the eldest brother's death. You always blame us for favoring the second brother, but we can't do anything about it. It's all because of poverty. Youtian has been weak since he was a child and couldn't do farm work. We had no choice but to give him all the money in the family to start a business. We originally thought that he would subsidize you when he became rich... Even after the eldest brother passed away, I planned to do so. It's just that Youtian was unlucky and his business failed. After all, we are all family. There is no knot that cannot be untied. Just talk it out."

"We are here to ask about Dashu's situation because we are worried about him. Your mother-in-law is harsh in her words, but she has no bad intentions. She really cares about Dashu's safety."

Old Man Gu originally wanted to stand on the moral high ground and say that Tong Huaqiong had put Gu Dashu in danger by going to the border, and then magnanimously comfort him.

But Tong Huaqiong refused to let him go up, and also chased Old Lady Gu down.

Tong Huaqiong is most impatient with people saying things like there is no knot that cannot be untied among family members. That is moral kidnapping and they are trying to turn the tables on others after they have already done substantial harm and have not sincerely repented.

Even now, Mr. and Mrs. Gu don’t feel that they are biased.

Who are family to them.

Tong Huaqiong said: "I have nothing to say to you."

After saying this, she asked the maid Xiaoxi to see the guest off.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were asked to leave the courtyard and almost fell in the snow.

The eldest daughter-in-law is going too far. It’s wrong for them to care about Gu Dashu.

They really wanted to repair their relationship with the eldest wife by caring about Gu Dashu. After all, they still depend on the eldest wife for their retirement. But the eldest daughter-in-law was sour and refused to accept it.

Not even a bowl of water to drink.

"I was right, wasn't I? I told you to get into trouble but you just wouldn't listen." Gu Youtian said, "Don't you just think that I have no money and no business now, so you despise me and want to win back the eldest wife's heart? Don't you even consider whether Tong Da Jiao will accept it or not?"

Gu Youtian was used to being favored, so he said something sour when he saw Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu caring about the eldest son of the eldest wife.

"You evil creature, how come you have learned to be jealous?" Old Man Gu scolded Gu Youtian, "You do nothing all day long, you don't know how to work in the fields, you can't find a way to make money, and now you are an adult and still have to rely on us, you will tire us to death sooner or later."

Gu Youtian sneered and said, "You can't hold back what's on your mind. I can't do farm work because you and mother told me since I was a kid that I wasn't born to farm. If you could teach me to take care of the crops like you taught my elder brother, I wouldn't stay at home and eat for free."

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu widened their eyes.

Their youngest son, whom they doted on like a pearl, whom they were reluctant to let go to the fields to send to a private school, and whose business they gave up all their family wealth to support... actually complained that they were partial to the eldest son?

Is there any justice left?

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was speechless and just cried.

After crying, she still smeared two eggs and made a bowl of noodles for Gu Youtian. Wu Na curled her lips and told Gu Ruinian privately that Old Lady Gu was a bitch.

Even though he was bullied by his son like that, he still thought about it.

However, Wu Na forgot that Jia Shi treated Gu Ruinian in the same way. No matter how bad Gu Ruinian was, Jia Shi treated him as a treasure.

......

There were two consecutive snowfalls at the end of December.

Aunt Tang brought news to Tong Huaqiong in the evening after the snow, saying that the war between Dasheng and Mobei, which had lasted for a year, ended with Dasheng's victory and Mobei's surrender.

As soon as Prefect Yao received the report, Lian Hengruo sent someone to tell Aunt Tang, who hurried to Qinghe Bay to report the news.

Of course, what Aunt Tang wanted to tell you was not only the news of victory in the war, but also the news that Gu Dashu had made great contributions to Dasheng in clearing the territory of Mobei.

Tong Huaqiong: "......"

Gu Dashu is a businessman. How could he make a contribution in the war between two countries?

This is comparable to male-oriented online literature.

"......What's with that expression on your face? Shouldn't you be happy that your son has made a great contribution?" Aunt Tang said while holding the hand warmer, "I heard that Dashu made a great contribution this time, and he and the prince of Mobei have become sworn brothers......"

He even takes credit for it. Why does Tong Huaqiong not believe it?

No matter how incredible it is, Gu Dashu did make a contribution in the war.

Originally, Gu Dashu went to the border simply to make some money from the war and to help Tong Huaqiong open up border commercial routes.

When we arrived, we found that many merchants had evacuated from the border due to the war.

The people in Dasheng can still live, at least they have no shortage of daily necessities.

The people in Mobei are in a miserable situation.

They didn't know how to farm, and usually relied on exchanging cattle and sheep skins and furs with merchants from Dasheng for food and daily necessities. The war cut off border trade, and all these were cut off.

Gu Dashu is quite capable and he saw the business opportunities in Mobei.

He Chao advised him to stay at the border first and wait until the war stopped before doing business with Mobei. But Gu Dashu thought differently. He felt that most businessmen thought this way, and there would be no place for him at that time.

He must seize his chance amidst the fire of war.

So he gritted his teeth and did business with the people of Mobei despite the war.

Although the two countries were at war and the people on the border did not get along with each other for a time, Gu Dashu, who came to Mobei with daily necessities, was still welcomed by the people of Mobei.

Gu Dashu traveled in Mobei for three months and made a lot of money. Just when he was feeling proud of himself, he was caught as a spy by Mobei and other fearless merchants.

Gu Dashu was indeed able to hold on and survived the torture.

Then, for the sake of profit, he betrayed the image of his motherland and infiltrated the high-level officials of Mobei. He helped the Mobei high-level officials to obtain food and daily necessities from Dasheng, and gained the trust of the Mobei prince.

It was not until Mobei was defeated that Mobei realized that this profiteer roaming around Mobei was actually working as a double agent. The information he leaked allowed the Dasheng soldiers to counterattack all the way to the Mobei capital.

In this battle, Dasheng almost broke the backbone of Mobei.

Mobei surrendered.

Aunt Tang was a good speaker and she recounted Gu Dashu's meritorious service like a storyteller.

Tong Huaqiong was thrilled to hear this. Gu Dashu was truly a talented person. He had been a double agent for so long without being discovered by Mobei.

But if you think about it, you will know that in order to gain Mobei's trust, he must have suffered a lot.

"Amitabha, you are always worried that Dashu will be caught as a spy by the Mobei people at the border. I told you that Dashu has been smart since he was young, and he can fool the Mobei people even if he is caught. You still don't believe it, but he has fooled the princes of Mobei."

Liu Yue'e had just returned home, and her mother, Zhao, had rushed to see her daughter, when she heard Aunt Tang talking about Gu Dashu's legendary experience of making great contributions.

The more she listened, the more proud she became of her son-in-law, and she smiled happily while holding her daughter's hand.

Liu Yue'e choked up and said with tears in her eyes, "He was just showing off. What does it matter whether he made any contributions or not? He was treated as a spy by the Mobei people before. I don't know how much he suffered to clear his name... wuwuwu..."

Liu Yue'e is the number one love-brained person in Qinghe Bay. Even though she complains about Gu Dashu all day long, when it comes to the critical moment, she is the only one who cares about Gu Dashu's injuries which far outweighs his joy of making a contribution.

This time, Tong Huaqiong did not scold her for crying. Instead, she asked Xiaoxi to wipe her face with a handkerchief.
