Hong had dinner at Tong Pandi's house, and then went to Tong Huaqiong's house with Huaer in her arms.

She told Tong Huaqiong that Tong Pandidi and Su Xiucai were newlyweds and she slept with the flowers.

Since Hua'er had been raised by Hong since she was a child, she had long regarded Hong as her grandmother. Tong Pandi was even more confident in handing Hua'er over to Hong.

At this time, Hua'er was leaning in Hong's arms, looking very well behaved. When she saw Tong Huaqiong, she called her "Auntie" sweetly and handed the chirping katydid in her hand to Tong Huaqiong.

"Good boy, play with it by yourself."

Tong Huaqiong hugged Huaer, pinched her chubby little hands, called Chen Sufen, and took Huaer to play with Yinger.

She has something to discuss with Hong.

After Hua'er was taken away, Tong Huaqiong told the Li family about how they were plotting against Li Mingxiu and were targeting her and Manager He.

Mrs. Hong was shocked. She never expected that her husband's achievement would allow someone who had nothing to do with him to share in the profits.

The Li family has nothing to do with them.

This can't be called shameless, but it is so shameless that one has no face at all.

"Why didn't Sister Qin mention it at the beginning?" said Mrs. Hong.

Tong Huaqiong said, "She wanted to mention it to you, but you left before you could finish listening to her. But you are right to be angry with her, otherwise anyone can come and point fingers at your life. No matter how good our relationship with Sister Qin is, if we feel that she makes us uncomfortable, we must stay away from her."

Hong nodded.

Just like Tong Huaqiong said, these people are not related at all. Perhaps the group of monsters from the He family in Pingyang County will also cause trouble soon.

After her outburst of anger, she no longer cared much about taking a concubine and having a child. As long as He Chao didn't have the intention, it would not be accomplished.

If He Chao had that idea, he wouldn't need anyone to persuade him.

Of course, if anyone is blind enough to try to steal her things, let them try.

Aunt Qin was panicked because she had angered Mrs. Hong and also made Tong Huaqiong unhappy. She returned home and sighed.

My daughter-in-law Liu Qiaoyun was breastfeeding at home. When she heard it, she asked what was going on.

Aunt Qin told her daughter-in-law what her cousin said when she came home, and how she persuaded Hong to take a concubine for her husband.

Liu Qiaoyun was speechless after hearing this and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really crossed the line. Do you always say whatever you want just because you have a good relationship with the boss and Aunt Hong? What do you mean you are doing this for the good of others? You don't even know what they need, and you're just offending them by saying it. How could Aunt Hong not know what kind of person Manager He is? Doesn't Aunt Hong know better than you whether to take a concubine or have a child?"

Aunt Qin felt even more guilty after hearing her daughter-in-law's lecture. She slapped herself and said, "This is my fault."

Then he said with a worried look on his face: "Isn't Dashu Niang prejudiced against you?"

Liu Qiaoyun is a worker at Taohua Dessert. Tong Huaqiong allowed her to take "maternity leave" after she gave birth to a child. She will return to Taohua Dessert when her child is older.

After all, once you’ve tasted the joy of making money, you won’t want to stay at home to look after your children.

After she goes to work, she will hand the child to her mother-in-law and hire a maid to do the cleaning and cooking. The child will take up her mother-in-law's attention and she will no longer get involved with the gossips in the village.

Liu Qiaoyun said: "The boss is not someone who can't tell right from wrong. How could she not want me when I'm so capable? I'm still an employee of Taohua Desserts. I'm on vacation, not quitting my job."

Aunt Qin felt a little relieved that her daughter-in-law could keep her job at Peach Blossom Dessert.

"Mom, next time don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. If she comes home again, kick her out with a stick." Liu Qiaoyun felt that her mother-in-law was usually a good person, but was led astray by her aunt.

Aunt Qin suddenly remembered something. Her cousin said that the family was discussing giving Li Mingxiu to Manager He as a concubine. Did her cousin's mother-in-law know about this?

I'm afraid that they are hiding this from their mother-in-law, and it's a secret plot among their brothers and sisters-in-law.

No, she must go to her cousin's place tomorrow and tell her cousin's mother-in-law about this.

In this way, she could at least improve the impression of Hong and Tong Huaqiong on her.

Early the next morning, Aunt Qin set out for the next village.

"Mingxiu, has your grandma come to see you these two days?"

Tong Huaqiong asked Li Mingxiu during her break when she was directing the work in the weaving workshop.

Li Mingxiu said: "No."

Li Mingxiu doesn't like going home. Since he started fluffing cotton here with Tong Huaqiong, he has been living in the weaving workshop most of the time.

Sometimes when Tong Huaqiong got up at night, she could still hear the sound of cotton beating in the weaving workshop.

Li Mingxiu didn't go home, but her grandmother came to visit her from time to time.

Li Mingxiu could earn money, and she suggested to Tong Huaqiong that they could buy a house in the town in the future, settle her grandmother there and hire a maid to take care of her, while she would continue to make money by spinning cotton in Tong Huaqiong's weaving workshop.

"Did something happen to my grandma?" Li Mingxiu asked in panic.

She was raised by her grandmother on rice soup and goat's milk. Her uncles and aunts tried to exchange her for silver several times, but were stopped by her grandmother.

Therefore, she has a deep relationship with her grandmother, who is the person she cares about most in the world.

Once it comes to matters concerning his grandmother, Li Mingxiu can't help but get nervous.

Why would the boss ask whether her grandmother had come to visit her?

Tong Huaqiong speaks her mind

"Your aunt went to Aunt Qin's house a few days ago and asked Aunt Qin about Manager He's family. She wanted to give you to Manager He as a concubine."

Li Mingxiu's face turned pale.

It was not the first time that her uncles, aunts and aunts had plotted against her. Finally, she got a job in an embroidery workshop and supported herself and her grandmother with her own hands.

The good times didn't last long, and they were getting restless again.

Ever since she started working in the embroidery workshop and was able to earn money, her uncles, aunts, and aunts treated her visibly better, and some even showed signs of fawning on her.

She just responded perfunctorily to their advances but never spent a penny.

They did want to come to the embroidery workshop to collect her monthly allowance, but Tong Huaqiong's embroidery workshop stipulated that the monthly allowance could only be collected in person.

The uncles must have thought that since her money was of no use to them, they might as well sell her to a rich man as a concubine.

Li Mingxiu said: "Don't even mention Manager He's concubine. I wouldn't even want to be sent to the palace to be an imperial concubine."

Li Mingxiu didn't know much about Manager He, but she had met him when the weaving workshop had just started, so she was very familiar with Hong.

Hong was in charge of the accounts of the weaving workshop.

The uncles and aunts heard that Manager He and Mrs. Hong had no children, so they sold her as a reproductive tool.

If the Dong family and the Hong family are really those villains, I am afraid their plan will succeed.

One glass of wine can knock her out.

Unfortunately, Tong Huaqiong and Hong are not that kind of people.

That's why Li Mingxiu was able to learn about his family's plan in advance.

Tong Huaqiong said: "I'm afraid they have kept this a secret from your grandmother. I told you this so that you can be on guard. If they plot once, they will plot again. Otherwise, you should not go back and just set up a female household yourself."

As Li Mingxiu's parents had both passed away, his marriage was decided by his uncles.

If they really arranged a marriage for Li Mingxiu, Li Mingxiu would be in a passive position.

Li Mingxiu pursed his lips and his eyes moved slightly.

In the past, I wanted to establish a female household because I was alone and weak, and considering that my grandmother was unwilling to leave the Li family, now that she can make money, she can establish herself first.
