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

Tong Fusheng and his family of three cleaned the Gu family's house inside and out despite their tired bodies.

As soon as the work was done, he left Gu's house quickly.

We spent nearly a day in Qinghe Bay, feeling tired, hungry and cold.

This trip was not smooth. Not only did I get into trouble when I arrived at Qinghe Bay, but I also had to compensate the Gu family with five taels of silver and two hundred kilograms of grain.

Wang cursed and swore, saying that the compensation was enough for the whole family to live on for several months.

Of course, they had no silver and it was impossible for them to carry any food with them.

With the witness of the villagers, an IOU was signed. Two days later, Mr. Gu took people to Heilongtan to collect grain and silver.

"Aunt, big sister, are you just going to watch us get bullied?" Tong Zhijie said in dissatisfaction when he saw Tong Pandi and Tong Huaqiong after he went out, blowing his hands.

Just pulling off two of the hair ornaments on my aunt and elder sister's heads would be enough to compensate the Gu family.

Tong Huaqiong covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "How else can I see it? If I had known, I would have grabbed a handful of melon seeds."

Tong Pandi rolled his eyes and said, "Were you bullied? Your legs aren't broken, your waist isn't bent, your hands aren't falling off, and you're still breathing. How can you be considered bullied?"

Tong Zhijie stamped his feet in anger, he was frozen to death.

Tong Fusheng tried to play the victim: "Brother Pan, I am your father after all."

Tong Pandi said: "I don't have a father."

It wasn't that Tong Huaqiong was taking advantage of the situation, but the three of them were in such a mess that she waved her hand and said, "You guys should leave quickly and don't come to Qinghe Bay anymore."

The three members of the Tong family gritted their teeth and left.

Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandi looked at the three people's embarrassed figures without any sympathy in their eyes.

"I guess they are going to ask Tong Zhaodi for money." Tong Huaqiong could imagine what Tong Fusheng and Wang would plan next.

Tong Pandi sneered and said, "Auntie is right. Now they can only count on Tong Zhaodi. I used to want to help Tong Zhaodi and get her out of the Tong family's quagmire, but she was not only unwilling to do so, she also wanted to pull me in. Just wait and see, Tong Zhaodi will be dragged to death by the Tong family."

Tong Huaqiong shook her head. This was Tong Zhaodi’s own choice.

Both she and Tong Pandi wanted to pull Tong Zhaodi over, but the girl was simply not able to do it.

Then they can only sink together with the Tong and Wu families.

Tong Huaqiong's guess was correct. After Tong Fusheng and his family of three arrived at Heilongtan, they did not return to their own home but went to the Wu family.

Wu Ren was stripped of his position as village head, and the entire Wu family began to feel a sense of decline.

Even so, Tong Fusheng felt that his family was richer than his own.

Wu Ren was just dismissed as the village head, but his property was not searched, and his shop and rice were still there.

Tong Zhaodi burst into tears when she saw her parents and brother covered in dirt and injuries. When she learned about what happened to them in Qinghe Bay, she cursed Tong Pandi, Tong Huaqiong and the Gu family.

Regardless of her pregnancy, she boiled hot water for Tong Fusheng and his family of three to wash, got new clothes for them to change into, cooked a table of dishes and poured wine.

Qiao was so angry that she just stared blankly.

Wang cried and demanded five taels of silver and two hundred kilograms of grain as compensation to the Gu family. Tong Zhaodi gritted her teeth, took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to Wang.

This bracelet was given by Mrs. Qiao during the tea ceremony, and it is worth at least thirty taels when sold out.

Wang wiped her tears and touched Tong Zhaodi's belly with satisfaction, praising her youngest daughter for being filial and no wonder she was pregnant with a son. Thinking of what Tong Pandi had done, she cursed him for not being able to give birth to a son.

Tong Fusheng took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes comfortably, looked at Tong Zhaodi's still pretty face, and said earnestly: "If I had known that Wu Ren's position as the head of the village would not be stable, I would not have married you to the Wu family. What a pity, what a pity..."

Tong Zhaodi and Tong Fusheng thought the same thing.

She was born beautiful and could have become a concubine of a wealthy family in the capital. Although being a concubine did not sound good, she would have worn gold and silver and been served by servants. Now the Wu family's life was getting worse day by day, and they had to save on food and drink. The housewife who cooked and the maids who did the chores were all sent away by Qiao.

She had to wash her own clothes even when she was pregnant.

"What can I do? I'm pregnant." Tong Zhaodi muttered, "I won't remarry."

Tong Fusheng sighed for a while, then suddenly said, "It's not impossible."

Wang stared at Tong Fusheng with wide eyes. What did you mean? Let Tong Zhaodi remarry?

"Zhaodi is pregnant now, who should she marry?" Wang asked.

Tong Fusheng said slowly, "Both of Pandi and Li's daughters can marry Master Su, and Zhaodi can only marry someone better after leaving the Wu family."

Wang was puzzled.

Tong Pandi was able to get close to Master Su by relying on his sister-in-law.

Tong Zhaodi is now unable to curry favor with her sister-in-law.

Tong Fusheng smiled and continued, "You don't understand this. Zhaodi is more outstanding and younger than Pandi. If she gives birth to a son, if she divorces and remarries, she will be more popular than before the marriage."

Tong Zhaodi looked at Tong Fusheng with her mouth wide open. She didn't understand why she was so popular after giving birth to a son.

No matter how beautiful she is, who would marry her except a man like Master Su who doesn't care about worldly matters?

Wang understood, slapped her thigh and said to Tong Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, your father is right. If you have a son this time, it means you have the physique to give birth to a son. The rich man in the city who was willing to take you in as a concubine last time will definitely be willing to have you in the mansion again. At his age, he only has a daughter, and the most important thing for him to take in a concubine is to give birth to a son."

Tong Zhaodi finally understood.

She looked at Tong Fusheng eagerly and said, "Dad, you don't really want me to divorce and remarry, do you?"

Tong Fusheng said, "At that time, we asked you to marry Wu Musheng because Wu Ren was the head of the village and the Wu family was close to the Tong family so you could be filial to them. Now Wu Ren has been dismissed as the head of the village and Wu Musheng can't get up. He can only make ends meet with the two rented shops and more than ten acres of good farmland. Even if you want to support Zhijie, you can't find more money. It will be different if you divorce and remarry in the capital as a concubine. The rich man's family will be well-off and you will have a good life. After you give birth to a son, you will be on an equal footing with the eldest wife. In the future, the family property will not only belong to you and your son, but you can support Zhijie if you want to."

Tong Zhijie, who had been busy chewing the chicken drumstick, raised his head and said, "Then let the second sister remarry, and then the whole family will follow the second sister to enjoy the good life."

Tong Fusheng nodded slightly, then changed the subject and mentioned Tong Pandi: "When Tong Pandi divorced, I was concerned about my reputation and felt ashamed. Now that I see Pandi is living a better life than the Wu family, I feel that people should not be too rule-bound. If I had known that Pandi could remarry Master Su, I should have taken Pandi home to nurse her back to health and sent her to the capital. Maybe she could remarry someone better than Master Su."

Tong Fusheng felt upset when he thought about Tong Pandyi flying away, and he had to keep Tong Zhaodi in his hands.

Tong Zhaodi had been taught by Tong Fusheng and Wang to listen to her parents in everything and do things that would benefit Tong Zhijie. When she heard Tong Fusheng's analysis, she became interested.

Thinking of the cold eyes that Mrs. Qiao gave her when she prepared the table of food and wine, she didn't know how to treat her and the Tong family in the future.

Even if she gave birth to a son, the Wu family would not consider her a great hero.

Besides, the Wu family is now in ruins, what can she give to her parents' home?

It’s better to remarry!

Tong Zhaodi poured wine for Tong Fusheng and said with a smile, "I'll listen to Dad."
