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

Hong sat quietly.

Not afraid at all.

The old man wants to divorce her for the sake of the clan. It's a very nice idea.

He Chao’s household registration is in Qinghewan, which has been certified by the government.

He Chao's name now appeared in the newspaper, which meant that he had made contributions to the country. As He Chao's wife, if the clan dared to divorce her without He Chao's consent, not only County Magistrate Liu would intervene, but also Prefect Yao would intervene.

Not to mention that the clan wanted to divorce her, even if He Chao himself wanted to divorce her, it would not be that easy.

Just because she stayed at home while He Chao was at the border for more than two years, she was also a meritorious person, and He Chao could not divorce her.

Hong said coldly: "Family, what kind of family are those pretending to be family? At most, they are just fraudsters."

Tong Huaqiong echoed, "That's right. He is still an old fraudster who has one leg in the coffin. He is wicked from head to toe. He must have done a lot of evil things such as bullying orphans and widows and defrauding people of their money. Otherwise, how could he be so adept at it?"

"You want to divorce someone for your clan? They are a married couple with a marriage certificate. Even the imperial court cannot divorce them. How can you divorce someone for your clan? Are you more powerful than the emperor? What clan are you from? Clan rules are more important than national laws. Are you a royal family?"

Uncle He looked at Tong Huaqiong with gloomy eyes. Why was he scolding so dirty? He had never seen any boss interfere with his servants' wedding.

They all found out that He Chao was Tong Huaqiong's manager, not a servant.

"Sister-in-law, uncle was just talking to me, not about whether to stop or not. Don't take it to heart. Sister-in-law, you can't write two He characters with one stroke. You and your fourth brother have been out there for so many years, without the help of your natal family or the support of your in-laws. I think you must have suffered a lot to get such a big fortune. He Chao didn't bring you back to Hejiazhuang to recognize your relatives for so many years, and it's also our fault that we didn't come to recognize you in time. It's normal for you to be angry now. Doesn't every decent daughter-in-law have to open the ancestral hall to pay homage to their ancestors?" A long-faced woman stood up and said to Hong, "If you are angry, just let it out and let us apologize to you in front of the clan members. When your fourth brother comes back tomorrow, the clan will ask him to take you back to Hejiazhuang to open the ancestral hall to recognize your ancestors and enter the family tree."

This woman is Qian, the daughter-in-law of the silver-haired woman's second aunt. According to the ranking, He Chao has to call her second cousin.

She called her younger brother and sister affectionately, but in fact, He Chao was only nine years old when she left home. She didn't even know whether He Chao was black or white.

She only knew that this cousin in the family had become rich, and everyone wanted to get a piece of his fortune, including her naturally.

Seeing her uncle and Mrs. Hong arguing with each other, she became extremely anxious.

Zhuzi is her third son. Her main purpose this time is to let Hong recognize Zhuzi as her adopted son. Since she wants Hong to agree, she must make her happy.

The uncle's remarks just now about whether to stop or not were not in her interest.

She knew at a glance that it was impossible for Hong to have children at her age. If she really divorced Hong, and He Chao married a young and fertile wife, what would happen to her son?

She has four sons anyway, and if she adopts one of them to inherit the huge family fortune, her family won't lose out at all.

My uncle has offended Mrs. Hong, which is not good for Zhuzi's adoption.

The old man had clearly agreed at home that everything would be based on Zhuzi's adoption, but things changed after they entered Qinghe Bay.

It’s OK for uncle to just put on airs at home, but why is he so arrogant when he comes to He Chao and doesn’t know the difference between the important and the unimportant? He deserves to be scolded.

The meat was in hand and could not be let go, so He's second cousin Qian hurried out to apologize to Hong.

Hong looked at them coldly and said, "How dare you, a bunch of liars, mention your ancestors? Is your family all dead? Do you want others to bring their wives to sue your ancestors?"

Qian's smile froze on her face.

She didn't understand why He Chao, this daughter-in-law, couldn't tell good from bad. She had spoken for her, but she didn't appreciate it at all.

He opened his mouth and started shooting.

She really thought that Mrs. Hong was angry with them. Firstly, they had not acknowledged this relationship for so many years, but chose to do so when He Chao was in his prime. She would have been angry too. Secondly, her uncle's words were too harsh. He always accused Mrs. Hong of being infertile and wanting to divorce her. It was normal for Mrs. Hong to be angry.

She spoke in order to dispel the Hong family's anger towards the He family and to give both parties a way out.

However, Hong did not follow her plot.

"No, sister-in-law, why do you say such harsh words? I am just thinking about you..."

"Two people can't sleep in the same bed together. It's impossible for a group of people to not be evil. I don't know if you are deaf or you don't have ears. It's like you don't understand what people say. I told you that He Chao has no family, but you jumped out and called him your sister-in-law."

"It's like they're from a troupe, and the roles are pretty complete. After the second aunt's wife finishes singing, the eldest uncle starts singing. After the eldest uncle finishes singing, the second sister-in-law starts singing. Guess what the next play is?"

Tong Huaqiong interrupted Qian and turned her head to ask Hong with interest.

"That must be because he's worried about Sister Hong not having children, so he proposed to adopt a child to Sister Hong to take care of Sister Hong and Manager He in their old age." Zhao said sarcastically.

Aunt Qin continued, "Retirement? You think he is too kind. In my opinion, he really wants to seize the property of Sister Hong and Shopkeeper He. Let's not talk about Shopkeeper He making money easily by doing business with Shopkeeper Tong. Just say that Shopkeeper He has made meritorious service on the border and was named by the emperor to be rewarded. How many villains will have wrong thoughts? If Shopkeeper He is penniless, who would give up the child they carried for ten months?"

When Zhao and Aunt Qin kowtowed to Hong at the pillar, they saw the evil ambitions of this group of people.

Even one’s own nephews may not be reliable, let alone nephews from other families who are outside the five degrees of mourning.

Zhu is already fifteen or sixteen years old. If he is not here to seize property, what is he here for?

Anyway, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin didn't believe that this kid would come to do charity.

These words made the silver-haired woman, Uncle He, and Zhuzi's mother and father all look livid.

There was a kind of anger and shame in his eyes as if his plan had been exposed.

They have predicted every plot, what should we do next?

I can only go on with a stiff upper lip.

The silver-haired woman was about to speak when Zhuzi lost his patience and spoke first.

"Fourth Aunt."

He Chao is the fourth child in the entire He family, so Zhuzi calls Hong the fourth aunt.

"My fourth uncle didn't have a son. When my great grandfather and grandmother found out, they were afraid that my fourth uncle would be looked down upon, so they decided to adopt me to my fourth uncle and fourth aunt."

The family had originally planned to adopt the fourth son to He Chao and Hong because the fourth son was less than ten years old.

Firstly, since they are still young, He Chao and Hong are more receptive to it; secondly, it is not too late for a ten-year-old child to start elementary school.

But the pillar jumped out.

Zhuzi is already at the age to get married.

The family is poor and the second elder brother is still unmarried. The family's money has to be saved to build a house for the second elder brother, so his marriage has not been put on the agenda yet.

He said that if he were adopted by Ho Chao and Hong, his marriage would go smoothly. At his age, it would be just right for him to follow Ho Chao in business or become an official. Once he had control of Ho Chao's property, would his fourth brother still have to worry about his studies?

His grandmother was convinced by his words, and he was given the opportunity to be adopted.
