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

Gu Honglian began to sob again.

She also wanted to count on her sister-in-law to give her a dowry, but her sister-in-law totally ignored her.

Jia gave Gu Honglian some advice, saying, "Sister, this is the situation in our family. It's useless for you to complain. Everyone's money is for men to spend. Ruinian is a descendant of the Gu family, so he has the right to spend the family's money."

"You can't cry for your dowry in front of us, but there is one person who can."

Gu Honglian stopped crying and asked, "Who?"

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Jia with hope in her eyes.

Wei sneered, her mother-in-law was not a good person again.

Jia said, "Your sister-in-law just married a good daughter-in-law."

Gu Honglian frowned and said, "She just gave me a golden hairpin. How can I expect her to give me a dowry? She is the daughter-in-law of my eldest sister-in-law, so she is naturally on the same page with my eldest sister-in-law. If my eldest sister-in-law doesn't agree, she will definitely not give it to me."

Jia smiled and said, "How can a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law really be of the same mind? If a daughter-in-law has a problem with her mother-in-law, if I were you, I would try to please Jingzhe daughter-in-law and cry to her about your sister-in-law not giving you a dowry. Maybe I would get her sympathy and she would give you a dowry."

Gu Honglian wiped her tears and looked at Old Lady Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu's heart moved.

She looked at Lu Zhaozhao as if she was a naive person.

Yes, as the granddaughter of a great imperial merchant, she has never lacked money since she was a child and is generous when spending.

She heard that when Lu Zhaozhao met Tong Pandyi for the first time, she gave Hua Erduoer a big gold locket inlaid with jade because she felt sorry for Tong Pandyi's divorce.

Even when Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao, had her birthday, she happened to be there and gave her a pair of large gold bracelets and two pieces of glittering brocade. Zhao was so happy that she praised Lu Zhaozhao for her beauty and kindness to everyone she met.

No matter what, Gu Honglian is Gu Jingzhe's aunt, and crying in front of her will definitely arouse her sympathy.

Besides, Lu Zhaozhao is rich.

That huge dowry is so enviable.

Any dowry she gave would be enough for Honglian's dowry.

Old Lady Gu said, "Honglian, your second sister-in-law is right. I think Jingzhe's wife is soft-hearted. You should beg her and just give her a little of her dowry."

"It's no big deal for her to give you a few loads of dowry."

The more Mrs. Gu thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was reliable. She would find a time to ask Lu Zhaozhao to come over and she would tell Lu Zhaozhao about this matter in person.

The newly married bride was shy and she didn't believe that Lu Zhaozhao would have the nerve to refuse.

Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her grandmother-in-law had complained about Lu Zhaozhao being a foxy woman not long ago, and now she was plotting against her dowry.

Gu Honglian's tear-red eyes suddenly lit up. Who wouldn't envy Lu Zhaozhao's dowry? She wished she could go to Lu Zhaozhao and curry favor with her right now.

Wei and Gu Xiaoxue looked at each other and thought with disdain, did Old Lady Gu and Jia think Lu Zhaozhao was a fool?

If Lu Zhaozhao really cried in front of her like they did, she would be generous. How could Mr. Lu dare to give the Lu family business to Lu Zhaozhao?

Wei and Gu Xiaoxue really didn't want to listen to them anymore, so they said goodbye.

Last year, Wei and Gu Fengnian built a house in the village and they have moved out of the old house. If Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao had not come to offer tea and recognize their relatives today, they would not have come to the old house to chat with the people there.

The two of them came out of the old house and went straight to Tong Huaqiong.

"Grandma is really something. She wants to make a fortune from her right after her third brother's wife got married. If this gets out, she won't feel ashamed."

"They helped Ruinian plot against Wu Na to get pregnant before marriage, and they didn't feel ashamed, not to mention plotting against the dowry of my third brother's wife."

After learning from the two that Old Lady Gu wanted Lu Zhaozhao to give up Gu Honglian's dowry, Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e couldn't help but start scolding.

Gu Taohua stood up and said, "I'm going to the old house."

Tong Huaqiong grabbed Gu Taohua and said, "Where are you going? Are you going to give it to them just because they plotted against your third sister-in-law? You think your third sister-in-law is too weak."

Tong Huaqiong felt that this matter was not worth mentioning at all.

Who wouldn't want to scheme for the Gu family's old house, and even want to scheme for her property? That can be done.

But this also depends on what Lu Zhaozhao thinks.

If Lu Zhaozhao felt that giving Gu Honglian a little dowry was nothing, she would respect Lu Zhaozhao's opinion.

After all, Lu Zhaozhao is a person, and she is Lu Zhaozhao's mother-in-law, so there is no need for her to control everything for Lu Zhaozhao.

Besides, there is Gu Jingzhe, who will always stand up for us and protect us.

......

After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao walked out of the ancestral hall.

Old Man Gu sat aside with a grim look on his face.

It turned out that when Grandpa Gu instructed Lu Zhaozhao to expand the Gu family, he learned from Gu Jingzhe that one of Lu Zhaozhao's children in the future must take the Lu family surname.

This was also the condition that Mr. Lu and Tong Huaqiong agreed upon when discussing the marriage.

The Lu family's business will be managed by Lu Zhaozhao in the future. Old Master Lu has made it clear that he is unwilling to see all the Lu family's property given to the Gu family, so one of Lu Zhaozhao's children must be a member of the Lu family.

When Mr. Gu heard the news, he was furious.

His darling grandson, a juren who had only been in the imperial examination for 18 generations and a potential candidate to transform the Gu family from a farming family to an official one in the near future, actually lowered his posture to please a merchant, and not only protected his wife like her own eyes, he even wanted to give a child from the Gu family to the Lu family.

Old Man Gu cursed Gu Jingzhe for being unfilial in the ancestral hall.

Gu Jingzhe had to endure Old Man Gu's anger.

This matter could have been kept secret, but Gu Jingzhe felt there was no need to hide it.

Firstly, it is impossible for him to sever ties with the clan. This matter will be revealed sooner or later, so it is better to notify them early than late.

Secondly, since Lu Zhaozhao would be in charge of the Lu family's business in the future, he was afraid that the people in the clan would have improper thoughts and regard the Lu family's property as that of the Gu family.

"Grandpa, Zhaozhao and I will go back first. You should be more open-minded about everything. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You don't have to worry about my affairs." Gu Jingzhe seemed very considerate to Grandpa Gu.

Mr. Gu glared angrily.

He should be more open-minded. His entire blood and bones carry the Lu family surname. How can he be open-minded?

What if the child given away has the qualifications to marry and become a prime minister? Wouldn't that be a waste of money for the Lu family?

Old Man Gu was immersed in the grief of the Gu family losing a child who could make the family tree shine.

In an instant, the Lu family’s wealth no longer seemed attractive to Mr. Gu.

"Jingzhe wife, you just got married, come to our house for dinner tonight."

Old Man Gu thought of Gu Honglian's dowry, suppressed his anger, and gently invited Lu Zhaozhao to the Gu family's old house for dinner.

Lu Zhaozhao neither refused nor agreed, but just looked at Gu Jingzhe with a smile.

Old Man Gu was upset and felt that he had underestimated his grandson's wife.

It seemed that she was following Gu Jingzhe quietly, but in fact, she was the leader. Even her grandson was being led by her and couldn't find his way south or east.

He got so angry in the ancestral hall just now, but she didn't make any statement about whether she would have a child with the surname Lu in the future.

If you don't express your opinion, then you will definitely win.

Gu Jingzhe smiled at Old Man Gu and said, "Grandpa, Zhaozhao and I are going to visit our parents tomorrow. We need to hurry back to prepare and then go to the old house for dinner when we have time."

How could he not know what his grandfather was thinking?

This man must have invited Lu Zhaozhao to dinner in order to get something from Lu Zhaozhao.

Seeing that Gu Jingzhe showed no mercy at all, Grandpa Gu was so angry that he wanted to beat Gu Jingzhe up.
