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

"Since you have decided to establish a female household, act quickly. Otherwise you will still be subject to their control."

Seeing that Li Mingxiu had been persuaded, Tong Huaqiong continued to add fuel to the fire.

Li Mingxiu said: "I can say anything, but I am worried that grandma will not want to go with me. She always says that we are a family after all, and if she goes with me, others will criticize her sons for being unfilial."

Li Mingxiu's grandmother did love Li Mingxiu the most, but that did not prevent her from worrying about the reputation of her other sons.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Your grandmother is even more frightened with you in your current situation. You should stand up first, and we can decide whether your grandmother lives with you later. Even if we take a step back, if your grandmother stays in the Li family, you can't be filial to her? You can't give her money or buy her clothes? If your grandmother stays in the Li family, your uncles and aunts will not treat her harshly for the sake of filial piety."

Li Mingxiu wants to provide her grandmother with a life of plenty, and her current salary is enough.

Although my grandmother was not treated harshly when she stayed in the Li family, she lived the life of most rural women. At such an old age, she had to work in the fields and take care of housework.

Just as the host said, if she continued to think about whether her grandmother would live with her or not, it was possible that neither of them would live well.

Instead of that, it is better to establish a female household first.

At worst, she could invite her grandmother to stay with her from time to time for a while, and she would provide her grandmother with food and clothing. But she would not consider giving her grandmother money, as she did not want the money to go into the hands of those bastards in the Li family.

Li Mingxiu said: "I will listen to the boss."

Tong Huaqiong said, "After you set up your household, you and your uncles will be strangers. Have you ever seen a stranger who can be the head of another family? From now on, whether it is your marriage or the money you earn, it will be your own business. If they dare to manipulate your marriage, you will not report it to the authorities and they will not treat it as a family matter."

This is similar to the later generations where she once lived.

Domestic violence by a husband is a family matter, but tearing off the label of violence from family members is an illegal act.

Now that Li Mingxiu's daughter has established herself as a household, it will be difficult for the Li family to interfere in her marriage.

She didn't have to risk her life to argue with the other party. She could just report to the authorities and let them uphold justice.

Li Mingxiu didn't understand the law. When she heard Tong Huaqiong talking about establishing a female household, she and her uncles would be strangers, her eyes burned with flames, and she couldn't wait to establish a female household.

"I'll let Taohua and Su Qing accompany you to the county government office these days, and you should register your female household registration first." Tong Huaqiong said, fearing that Li Mingxiu would continue to drag it out.

Li Mingxiu nodded vigorously.

She knew that her employer had some influence with Magistrate Liu, and that with the support of the government, the Li family would not dare to embarrass her.

Li Mingxiu got excited when thinking about the good days of establishing a female household.

"Boss, as long as the weaving workshop is open, I will work there. I will definitely make more cotton for the weaving workshop in the future." Li Mingxiu expressed his loyalty to Tong Huaqiong, and then said with a turn of his eyes, "My uncles and aunts are plotting against me, and I will not let them have it easy."

She wants to take back the land left by her parents at her uncle's house.

As for my second uncle’s family?

Tong Huaqiong said, "I heard from Aunt Qin that your uncle is looking for a marriage for your cousin and has collected fifty taels of silver. Do you want to get that silver?"

Li Mingxiu nodded and thought about it, too much.

She has no shortage of money now, but she would be happy to disgust them.

Uncle and Aunt Li are the worst. All the bad ideas come from them.

Her cousin was ugly and had a bad temper, and he had never been able to find a wife. Now that he finally found a wife, the man asked for a dowry of fifty taels of silver.

Generally speaking, in the countryside, twenty taels of silver is enough for the betrothal gift and the wedding banquet, which shows how unpopular her cousin is in the marriage market.

These fifty taels of silver were probably the money that my uncle and aunt emptied out of their family savings plus borrowed money. They were more precious than life.

"Boss, how can I take their money?" Li Mingxiu was eager to try.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Didn't you say before that your aunt was jealous of your salary and wanted to work in our embroidery workshop? I'll let Su Qing go back to the Li family with you. You can secretly tell your aunt that our embroidery workshop needs someone now and ask her to bribe Su Qing with fifty taels of silver."

"Then you can trick your uncle and aunt into paying part of your cousin's betrothal gift. Their daughter is old enough to get married and needs more betrothal gift. Then your cousin's fifty taels of betrothal gift will be paid, right?"

Su Qing is Tong Huaqiong's right-hand man. Every time the weaving workshop recruits people, Su Qing is the one who registers and posts the list. Therefore, everyone who wants to work in Tong Huaqiong's weaving workshop from miles around has met Su Qing.

Many people would always ask Su Qing about it in private, and some even secretly gave Su Qing gifts.

Li Mingxiu smiled happily. The boss had so many ideas that her aunt had no choice but to take them.

When she thought about how her aunt had given the money with great expectations, but ended up with nothing, she wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

Would her uncle and aunt hold her responsible for the missing money? She had already established herself as a woman and ran away by then, so why would she be afraid of them?

She was a little impatient to go home.

At this time, Su Qing had come to Tong Huaqiong and said, "I can definitely act this scene so well that your aunt will take the initiative to pay for it."

Everyone knows that Tong Huaqiong's weaving workshop has high monthly wages and good treatment. Once you are able to enter the weaving workshop and pass the probation period, you will have a stable job. Afterwards, you will be transformed into a skilled worker without making mistakes. If you do a good job, you can earn fifteen or sixteen taels of silver a year.

If you invest fifty taels in the initial stage, you may get fifteen taels every year thereafter.

In addition, being able to enter the weaving workshop proves that you have entered Tong Huaqiong's circle of protection, and you will be respected wherever you go.

Only a fool would not be willing to spend fifty taels of silver to buy a spot.

Li Mingxiu said: "Okay, then we'll split the money equally."

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "30% to 70% is fine."

Half and half is too much.

We can't let Su Qing work for nothing.

Thirty-seven is just right.

"Tell your aunt that she can earn money working in our weaving workshop, so why would she have to worry about not having a daughter-in-law? By then, maybe she can find a way to get your cousin married. Your cousin had difficulty finding a wife before because he didn't have the ability to make money. Now that he has the ability to make money, he won't have to worry about not having a wife." Hong also came to join in the fun.

No matter who Li Mingxiu's uncle and aunt believed, they were trying to destroy her life and she didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

What is the most painful thing for people?

To dash hope.

Strike while the iron is hot, Li Mingxiu and Su Qing went to Li's house that day.

The two of them were not only trying to get their uncle and aunt's money, but also trying to find out for Tong Huaqiong and Hong who had tipped off the Li family to target Manager He.

Li Mingxiu's return home did not cause much stir.

Su Qing's arrival caused a stir in the Li family.

Li Mingxiu's aunt said to her sisters-in-law: "It seems that Mingxiu is very valued by Widow Tong, and she was able to let Su Qing come with her."

Li Mingxiu's aunt said, "Could it be that Manager Tong knew that we were going to give Mingxiu to Manager He as a concubine, and he sent Su Qing to intimidate us?"

Aunt Li shook her head. She didn’t think so.

When she brought up the idea of ​​trying to sound out Widow Tong, her cousin Aunt Qin scolded her and told her she had no face to bring it up.

Since my cousin is too embarrassed to mention this matter, Widow Tong must not know that they are going to give Li Mingxiu to Manager He as a concubine.

"What are you afraid of? Let's ask Su Qing in person, and then we'll know why she came home."

As they were talking, Li Mingxiu and Su Qing walked in.
