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

"Who? Who did you say made a contribution?"

Tong Fusheng's eyebrows twitched and he stopped the waiter.

Looking at the waiter running towards Jufulai, Jufulai is his sister, so doesn’t the young master mean his nephew?

Neither Gu Dashu nor Gu Jingzhe looks like someone who can accomplish great deeds on the border.

The waiter was so happy that his eyebrows danced with joy, and said, "It is our young master who has done the meritorious service."

Tong Fusheng asked, "Who is your young master?"

The waiter raised his voice and said, "Our young master Gu Dashu from Jufulai."

Tong Zhijie exclaimed: "How could Gu Dashu have made any contribution? Didn't he die in Mobei?"

The guy slapped him in anger.

Those who have no grudges against them curse their young master.

Although it is true that Fu Julai has many competitors in Pingchuan, no one dares to curse the young master to his face.

So the slap he received was not unjust.

One of Tong Zhijie's teeth was loosened and he covered his face and cried out in pain.

Wang came forward, feeling extremely distressed, and supported Tong Zhijie and questioned the waiter: "Why did you start fighting when we were just talking peacefully? Be careful or I will sue you."

The waiter said angrily, "Auntie, are you embarrassed? Didn't you hear your son cursing our young master just now? This slap from me is light. You should report to the authorities. The government office is just ahead. Go quickly. I'm afraid that Magistrate Liu will sentence you as a person who has slandered the court."

A few officials happened to pass by on the road. They were the ones who were supposed to post the report. When they heard someone slandering a person who had made contributions to the court, they could not help but glare at Wang.

Wang was so frightened that she dared not say a word.

Tong Fusheng was well-informed and asked further: "Brother, I am Dashu's uncle. What merits did my nephew perform? Where did you get the news?"

The guy looked Tong Fusheng up and down. He had never seen such an uncle. When his son cursed his nephew, he stood like a statue.

He doubted whether this man was Gu Dashu's biological uncle.

I’m afraid that this uncle is not a good person and hopes that the employer will be in trouble, but that is not what they want.

The waiter smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "The report was sent from Shengjing, and it's posted on the wall over there. It clearly states that our young master Gu Dashu has been lurking in Mobei under the guise of doing business since he went to the border, and has made great contributions to our Dasheng border army's victory. The black paper and white words are still hot, if you don't believe it, why don't you go and take a look for yourself."

After the guy finished speaking, he ran to Jufulai. He wanted to tell the good news to everyone in Jufulai.

Not only did he have to report the good news to Liu Yue'e, but he also had to report the good news to Gu Baishuang. After all, Nie Xiaofeng's contribution was also written in the newspaper.

After hearing what the waiter said, Tong Fusheng trotted all the way to the place where the newspaper was posted.

Surrounded by a huge crowd of people, Tong Fusheng squeezed through the crowd, stood under the newspaper and looked up.

Wang and Tong Zhijie followed closely.

Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie were literate and saw that Gu Dashu’s contributions were indeed listed in the newspaper.

Wang asked, "Is it true? Did Gu Dashu really make a contribution?"

Tong Fusheng nodded, his face looking very unhappy.

Tong Zhijie said unconvincedly: "Gu Dashu is really lucky. He can still make meritorious deeds, which shows that God is blind."

Wang sneered, "It only says that he has made contributions, but it doesn't say whether he is alive or dead. He went to Mobei to be a spy, and I'm afraid he would have been hacked to death by the Mobei people. The higher-ups gave him credit in order to appease the Gu family."

As soon as Wang finished speaking, the people around her glared at her with sharp eyes, wishing they could eat her alive.

"Is this lady's mouth filled with feces? Why does she speak so foul?"

"It says here that he will go to Beijing to receive an award in March. If that's not to say he's still alive, what else can he be?"

"Who are you? You don't wish others well, but you wish for their death. You have a son yourself, how dare you curse someone else's son? Be careful that it will backfire on you."

Everyone blamed Wang, and one woman even pushed her.

Someone recognized them and said, "This is Fu Julai's brother and sister-in-law."

The crowd grew angrier.

Under the condemnation of everyone, Tong Fusheng and Wang left the crowd in shame.

When I looked up, I saw Liu Yue'e and Gu Baishuang coming hand in hand.

Tong Fusheng gritted his teeth and hated Tong Huaqiong to death.

How could this girl be so heartless? He felt that he had treated her well since childhood, but she cut off all ties with the Tong family as if she was possessed.

As a result, as an uncle, he cannot even benefit from his nephew's achievements.

When Jufulai heard the news, they were as happy and excited as if it were New Year's Day.

Liu Yue'e had long known that her husband had made a contribution, but the news had been kept secret and she did not want to show off.

Otherwise, Tong Huaqiong would be the first one to not forgive her.

Now that the news had been made public, and the imperial court had sent it to all parts of the country in the form of a report for public commendation, Liu Yue'e was extremely excited.

He pulled Gu Baishuang and ran towards the place where the newspaper was posted.

Gu Baishuang was equally excited. The credit went to her brother and son. She had only heard the news during the Spring Festival, but seeing it in black and white with her own eyes was a completely different feeling.

The news of Gu Dashu's meritorious service spread everywhere in an instant.

The news reached Qinghewan half a day later than Pingchuan County.

In this era, reports of counter-intelligence usually only reached the county government office, and the news was passed on to the village head through yamen runners, who then passed it on to the village chiefs.

If you encounter an irresponsible county magistrate, the news will be suppressed and not be spread.

This is also why many remote villages are unaware of the change of emperor or surname.

County Magistrate Liu was a responsible official. As soon as the news came in, he sent people to spread it to various towns and villages, especially Yanguan Town and Qinghe Bay.

After all, Gu Dashu and Nie Xiaofeng have both made contributions, and their families need to be informed of the news in a timely manner.

"We in Dasheng won the border war."

Upon receiving the news, the village chief struck gongs and drums and excitedly informed the whole village of the news.

The villagers didn't pay much attention to major events in the imperial court. After all, Shengjing was too far away from ordinary people.

The villagers were very happy about the victory in the border war, mainly because the end of the war meant no more military service and corvee labor, and no additional grain taxes.

"Gu Dashu and Manager He from our village made great contributions in the war against Mobei."

The news brought by the village chief's second sentence exploded in the hearts of the villagers of Qinghewan.

"What? My grandson has made a contribution? What contribution did he make?" Grandpa Gu asked excitedly with his hands behind his back.

The village chief looked at Grandpa Gu and thought to himself that you are really affectionate when you call him grandson. Normally, I don't see that you have much affection for Gu Dashu.

The villagers all looked at the village chief. They also wanted to know what contributions Gu Dashu and Manager He had made.

After all, Gu Dashu and Manager He went to the border to do business, and in the past two years, rumors have been circulating in the village that the two were captured and chopped up by people from Mobei at the border.

Ever since the rumors were dealt with jointly by Liu Yue'e and Zhao's mother and daughter, no one dared to speak openly, but they could not help but grumble about it in private.

They really couldn't understand how Gu Dashu and He Zhanggui could have made contributions in the war, so someone asked if they had joined the army. They didn't look like they could fight.

At this time, Boss Qian came over, rubbing his fly hands and giving everyone a mysterious smile. The villagers wanted to know more about how he had accomplished the meritorious service.
