"Does Sister Qin and the others know my husband better, or do I know my husband better? They all act as if they know my husband very well. If my husband wanted to take a concubine because of the child, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

Hong was still very angry when she spoke of this.

"If one day he really takes a concubine and has a child, I will not tolerate it and will definitely not let him off easily."

Hong is not a soft-hearted person at all.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and nodded, this was the correct idea.

"But have you ever thought about why Sister Qin suggested to you that your husband take a concubine?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Hong said, "You are influenced by a group of gossipers. A few days ago, they said Yue'e was bullied by you, and now I am the protagonist of the discussion."

Isn’t this the gossip center of the village? Everyone who is not present may be the protagonist.

The news about Gu Dashu and He Chao's achievements continued to dominate the list, so it was normal for Liu Yue'e and her to become the center of attention.

Tong Huaqiong frowned and said, "I always feel something is wrong. Aunt Qin is not the kind of person who would hide an adultery. She must have heard something before telling you about taking a concubine."

It’s just that Aunt Qin was genuinely thinking about Mrs. Hong, and her intentions were good but her intentions led to a bad outcome.

Who spread the news?

Who knows what bad things he's up to.

Hong thought for a moment and said, "Who could have suggested that my husband take a concubine?"

Tong Huaqiong asked, "Is there anyone else in Lao He's family?"

Hong said: "When he was a child, his parents went to the south to do business and were infected with an epidemic. Their bodies were burned in the local area and nothing was left. The people in the clan treated him badly and took away his land and house. He moved from Pingyang County to Pingchuan County to make a living and had long since severed ties with the clan. When we got married, we did not return to Pingyang to worship our ancestors."

Tong Huaqiong said, "You and the He family of Pingyang County have severed ties before, and the He family also regards you as a relative. But what would they do if they knew that Old He was going to Beijing to be rewarded for his meritorious service?"

After all, the report had been sent to various counties, and I'm afraid that the news of He Chao's meritorious service had already reached the ears of the He family.

With such a promising person emerging in the family, and the fact that He Chao has no children, it is inevitable that everyone in the He family will be restless.

For example, if they adopt a child to He Chao and Hong, the family property will belong to their child in the future.

For example, he could choose a girl who was related to his family by blood to be He Chao's concubine. Since Hong couldn't give birth anyway, the family property would still belong to the concubine if she gave birth to a child.

Hong's eyebrows jumped.

What Tong Huaqiong could think of, Hong could also think of if she thought about it carefully.

"I guess the demons and monsters will show up in the next few days." Tong Huaqiong said.

Hong suddenly smiled and said, "It's better to go out than to use shady tactics behind the scenes."

It was getting dark, and Tong Huaqiong and Hong were returning home from the weaving workshop.

Seeing Aunt Qin approaching from afar at the door of Tong Huaqiong's house, Hong turned around and went to Tong Pandi.

She didn't want to talk to Aunt Qin. What she said today was too much of an overstep and too hurtful. She needed to calm down.

Aunt Qin came up to Tong Huaqiong and said, "Sister Hong still blames me."

Tong Huaqiong said: "Sometimes good intentions may not necessarily lead to good results."

Aunt Qin stamped her feet and said, "It's all my fault for talking too much."

Tong Huaqiong looked at Aunt Qin and asked with a half-smile, "Sister Qin, you are not a reckless person. Although you like to talk about people's shortcomings behind their backs, you won't talk about their bed. How did you think of persuading Sister Hong to give Manager He a concubine? Did you think of it yourself or did someone tell you something?"

"I can't hide anything from you."

Aunt Qin's face turned red. She came here for this matter in the first place, and there was nothing she couldn't reveal.

"My cousin is the aunt of Li Mingxiu, the cotton fluffer in your weaving workshop. She came to visit me yesterday and told me that Mingxiu lost her parents when she was born. Others say that she has a tough life and still hasn't been engaged. The Li family wanted to marry her off to someone else, but she didn't want to, saying that she wanted to fluff cotton in the embroidery workshop for the rest of her life."

Tong Huaqiong is very familiar with Li Mingxiu.

He is very strong and can eat a lot of cotton and can fluff it quickly and well, making him a rare talent in the weaving workshop.

When she was first hired, her grandmother cried with excitement.

Not only was she good at making cotton, she also made great contributions to the weaving workshop. When Tian Fugui and Xu Xinghua were planning to burn down the weaving workshop, she stepped forward and suppressed Tian Fugui.

Tong Huaqiong frowned. From what Aunt Qin said, the Li family wanted to plot against Li Mingxiu and give Li Mingxiu to He Chao as a concubine?

Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong felt a chill and couldn't help but frown.

Aunt Qin saw that Tong Huaqiong looked unhappy and said, "You guessed it. The Li family is indeed thinking of giving Li Mingxiu to Manager He as a concubine..."

Tong Huaqiong sneered, "Your good cousin came to persuade you, to ask you to persuade Hong, or to persuade me to persuade Hong. Let me guess how your cousin persuaded you, saying that Li Mingxiu is a capable person in my weaving workshop, but Li Mingxiu is stubborn and difficult to manage. If she becomes the concubine of Manager He, she will be in the hands of Hong and me, and she will work hard for me in the weaving workshop all her life."

Aunt Qin nodded. Her cousin had indeed advised her in this way.

But she scolded her cousin.

She said that whether or not to be a concubine depends on Li Mingxiu herself, not on their behind-the-scenes plotting. Isn't this a sinister act?

What's more, she knew Tong Huaqiong's personality and would definitely not go against Li Mingxiu's wishes.

Aunt Qin was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would smear her and her cousin, so she said hurriedly: "I pointed at my cousin and scolded her. Li Mingxiu has no father or mother. She can make money and stand firm by her skills. Unless she is mentally ill, she will never be a concubine."

Aunt Qin regretted very much that she opened the door and welcomed her cousin in.

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help sneering. The news of He Chao's meritorious service hadn't been spread for long, and all the demons and monsters that had nothing to do with him appeared.

It is estimated that there are people who want to attack Gu Dashu behind the scenes, but they dare not take action because they are afraid of her.

What about the Hong family?

He has no children, no parents, and no brothers, and is an easy target for bullying in the eyes of demons and monsters.

Tong Huaqiong asked Aunt Qin: "How did your cousins ​​come up with the idea of ​​letting Li Mingxiu be He Chao's concubine?"

Aunt Qin said, "The Li family has been plotting against Mingxiu for a long time. Last year, they wanted to marry Mingxiu to an old widower from another county, but Mingxiu resisted desperately and failed. I guess they became interested when they saw that Manager He had no children."

Aunt Qin thought that she would never have any contact with her cousin again.

This made Tong Huaqiong dissatisfied with her.

Tong Huaqiong frowned. It was still unclear at this time whether the He family was involved in the Li family's plan to marry Li Mingxiu to Manager He as a concubine.

Aunt Qin seized the opportunity and said, "Mother Dashu, we are old sisters. I will tell you the truth. I scolded my cousin because she schemed against my niece. I couldn't stand her shameless behavior of selling my niece. But it was my idea to persuade Sister Hong to give Shopkeeper He a concubine. Look at the news that Shopkeeper He has become rich. How many people are looking forward to his property? It is a pity that Shopkeeper He has no children. Instead of letting others take advantage of it, it is better to let Sister Hong take the initiative to give Shopkeeper He a concubine. The life and death of the concubine is in her hands, and the children born can be raised by her side. She and Shopkeeper He can still live in harmony."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Sister-in-law Qin, I still say that good intentions may not lead to good results. Forget about the concubine. Shopkeeper He will not take a concubine, and Sister Hong will not allow him to take a concubine."

Aunt Qin opened her mouth.

I feel a little aggrieved.

Tong Huaqiong and Hong still blamed her.
