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

"How are Manager He and Lai Fu?"

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Hong, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and knew that she wanted to ask about He Chao's situation.

Coincidentally, she also wanted to ask about the news about Nie Xiaofeng and Su Chengmin.

So he asked Aunt Tang on behalf of Mrs. Hong.

Aunt Tang looked at Hong and said with a smile, "Your husband has also made a contribution."

Hong: “…”

You can also form a team if you have made meritorious service.

Aunt Tang said: "The supplies that Dashu used to confuse Mobei were all received by Manager He on our side. Every time Dashu received supplies, he passed the news on through Manager He."

"So Dashu's hiding in Mobei cannot be separated from the cooperation of Shopkeeper He."

Hong had tears in her eyes. She didn't care whether she had made any contribution or not, as long as the person came back alive and safe.

Tong Huaqiong held Hong's hand.

He Chao traveled to Mobei for Tong Huaqiong's business. When he arrived in Mobei, he had to work as a spy for Gu Dashu with his head hung on his belt. You can imagine how dangerous it was.

Over the past year, Mrs. Hong always looked optimistic whenever she mentioned He Chao, but Tong Huaqiong knew that she was no less worried than Liu Yue'e. She had no children, so after He Chao left, Tong Huaqiong asked her to move in with her and help Tong Pandyi take care of the children to divert her attention.

With the news about He Chao, Tong Huaqiong felt much less guilty towards the Hong family.

"We in Pingchuan are going to have another young civilian general, but he's not a cowherd boy, he's the son of a merchant."

Aunt Tang looked at Tong Huaqiong with envy.

How could this sister be so lucky? Her son made contributions, her boss made contributions, and her grandson also made contributions.

However, when she thought that her son-in-law was the prefect, she felt relieved.

The son of a merchant?

Tong Huaqiong wondered who else it could be except Nie Xiaofeng.

"The young general must be Nie Xiaofeng, right?"

Thinking of Nie Xiaofeng, Gu Taohua's mouth twitched.

She still remembered the brutal scene when Nie Xiaofeng was beaten with a feather duster by her when he was a child.

I can't imagine him becoming a general.

Aunt Tang nodded and said, "I heard that Nie Xiaofeng was the one who was promoted the fastest. He became a deputy general in just one year. The newspaper praised Nie Xiaofeng a lot, saying that he was the first to attack the Mobei capital and killed the Mobei commander with one sword."

This is good news. Tong Huaqiong called Gu Dahan and asked him to go to the town to tell Gu Baishuang the news.

Gu Baishuang has been worried about Nie Xiaofeng a lot this year.

The sooner she knew the news, the sooner she could feel at ease.

Gu Dahan is happier than anyone else that his eldest nephew is successful.

Gu Dahan rubbed his hands and went there happily. He had not expected that his nephew would have achieved such great success.

Deputy general, that's only one step away from being a general.

This is beyond expectations considering his age, and he has fought his way through the battlefield.

Gu Taohua was not in a hurry to be happy for Nie Xiaofeng, and continued to ask Aunt Tang: "What about Lai Fu?"

Aunt Tang shook her head and said, "It's not written in the newspaper."

Disappointment appeared in Gu Taohua's eyes.

Tong Huaqiong patted her on the shoulder and said, "He will be fine."

Lai Fu's name was given to Su Chengmin casually by Tong Huaqiong, so it would definitely not be written in the newspaper.

When he reached the border, his uncle was there to protect him, so he could escape.

Besides, it was he who taught Nie Xiaofeng kung fu, and he was able to fight in the battlefield, kill the enemies, and retreat safely, let alone him.

I just don’t know if the old emperor will know Su Chengmin’s true identity and spare him.

"Did they say when they can come back?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Aunt Tang said, "Mobei has surrendered, and we have to accept the surrender. So we have to go to Shengjing? The people who have made contributions in the Dashu report are all named and reported. I guess we have to go to Shengjing to receive the reward. Now the border roads are blocked by heavy snow. We have fought for a year and finally won the war. We have to rest here. We can't evacuate from the border until after the New Year. Go to Shengjing first, and then come home. I guess I can't go home until next summer."

Tong Huaqiong pondered for a moment.

Shengjing.

She hasn't been there yet, but she wants to go.

Her cotton cloth has been sold far and wide in Shengjing. After the new year, she plans to open a pawn shop, Jufulai and Taohua Dessert in Shengjing.

Maybe he will become a great merchant like Mr. Lu.

Tong Huaqiong looked at Xiaolong behind him, and estimated that it would not be long before the male protagonist of Tong Dajiao's world would be taken away by the old emperor, and then fight against his uncle. The old emperor would eventually pass the throne to his grandson instead of his son.

When Liu Yue'e heard that Gu Dashu would not be able to return home until summer, she looked disappointed and muttered, "That's too long."

Zhao said, "It's better than being worried every day without knowing the news. Besides, he went to Shengjing to collect the reward."

After hearing this, Liu Yue'e said happily, "That's true. If anyone outside says that Dashu is missing at the border again, I will slap him in the face."

......

Nie family in Yanguan Town.

Gu Baishuang was extremely angry about the rumors outside.

There are rumors that Nie Xiaofeng will not be coming back.

She usually takes care of business in Pingchuan County. Ever since her son went to the border, she seldom returned to town this year. Less than two days after she came back, she heard rumors outside.

But it was her two daughters-in-law who spread the rumor to her.

Gu Baishuang asked the two daughters-in-law in a cold voice: "Who said Xiaofeng won't come back?"

The eldest daughter-in-law Zhang said: "It is said outside that the people in Mobei are very cruel. They will kill anyone we catch. Xiaofeng has not written to our family for a year. The swords on the battlefield are ruthless. Xiaofeng..."

Gu Baishuang interrupted her eldest daughter-in-law angrily, "Bullshit, what are people outside saying? I think it's you who spread it. Don't you hope for Xiaofeng to be well? Your husband has been away with your father-in-law for business for a year or two and hasn't written home. When has your husband not come back well?"

The gloating tone in the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang's words made Gu Baishuang want to slap her.

Zhang opened her mouth.

She wanted to say, how can that be the same? Her man was out doing business, but Nie Xiaofeng was on the battlefield. It was easy to tell who was more likely to die.

The younger daughter-in-law, Sun, raised her eyelids and said, "Mother, you are wronging my sister-in-law. It's not that she doesn't hope for Xiaofeng's well-being, but there has been no news about him for a year, which makes people wonder. My third brother hasn't started a family yet, and he doesn't have a son. What can we do about this?"

Sun's thoughts are very straightforward.

If Nie Xiaofeng died now, the third branch's incense would be cut off, so we would have to choose a nephew to continue the incense for him.

Now Gu Baishuang has made a lot of money by doing business with Tong Huaqiong. All that money must belong to Nie Xiaofeng. Whoever is adopted by Nie Xiaofeng will benefit.

Gu Baishuang was so angry that she threw the teacup at Sun. Not satisfied yet, she stood up and slapped each of her two daughters-in-law, cursing, "You bastards, even if you died, Xiaofeng would still be alive. Put away your thoughts, your stupid son must have lost his father or mother, but you still want to adopt Xiaofeng."

Zhang and Sun were beaten dazed.

In the past, Gu Baishuang was afraid that people would say bad things about her stepmother, so she was very sincere to her two daughters-in-law, but it still couldn't warm them up, so she started to change her strategy.

Ever since she followed Tong Huaqiong to do business and took control of the family business, she began to treat her two step-sons and step-daughters-in-law with coldness.

It was because of her good temper in the past that her two daughters-in-law misunderstood her as a soft-tempered person, and that’s why they spoke so harshly in front of her.

Gu Baishuang was shocked when she slapped her daughter-in-law twice, but she quickly adjusted her thoughts. She thought, if she was going to hit her, she would do it. It was not normal for her, as a mother-in-law, to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.

Zhang and Sun were not used to Gu Baishuang's changes, and they covered their faces and stiffened their necks, ready to commit suicide.
