After Tong Huaqiong, Gu Xiaoxue, Aunt Qin, Liu Qiaoyun and others returned to Qinghe Bay, they ran into Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian who were called by Old Man Gu to the Gu family's old house.

"Why did we ask you to go to the old house?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

"They said our aunt is back and asked us to go there," said Gu Dahan.

"Aunt, what's the big deal? If my aunt comes, she can come. Why let our two nephews go? I don't want to talk to my uncle at all." Gu Fengnian complained, "It really delays the work. Grandpa asked Brother Dahu to come and urge us three times. If I don't go, he will keep pestering me and I won't be able to do my work."

Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian really didn't want to go. If their aunt came back, she would come back. Why should they go to accompany her? They really didn't want to drink with their uncle-in-law. The words of a scholar were more sour than pickled cabbage that had been pickled for more than ten years.

No wonder he failed the imperial examination three times.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Go ahead, I'll take a look too."

Tong Huaqiong is not as simple as Gu Honglian returning to her parents' home as Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian thought.

Judging from the extent to which the three great warriors of the Fan family are misbehaving, I'm afraid that Gu Honglian has suffered a great loss this time and has come back to her parents' home to ask for help. Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu are looking for Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian to ask for reinforcements.

But if it is really as she thought, Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian may not be able to serve as rescuers.

Tong Huaqiong followed to see what was going on.

Because of the matter of forming a border caravan, Gu Baishuang happened to be in Qinghe Bay during this period. When she saw Tong Huaqiong going to the old house, she also pulled Wei to go with her.

Tong Huaqiong originally came with the intention of watching the show, but when she arrived at Old Lady Gu's room, she was shocked by Gu Honglian's condition.

Gu Honglian had been married for only a month, but she had already lost a lot of weight.

The thin and dark Gu Honglian sat next to Old Lady Gu. Tong Huaqiong did not recognize her at first. When she recognized her, she thought that Gu Honglian had just returned from working in the coal mine.

Old Mrs. Gu hugged Gu Honglian and cried.

When Jia saw Tong Huaqiong coming, she put away the gloating expression on her face, while Wu Na was cracking melon seeds and looked like she was eating watermelon.

Gu Honglian's eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw someone coming in, she turned around and looked at Tong Huaqiong and the others, looking dull and lifeless.

Tong Huaqiong took a closer look and found that Gu Honglian's cheek had an inch-high swelling and many scratches on her neck.

Tong Huaqiong gasped.

Was it the three great warriors of the Fan family who beat him, or was it Fan Tong who beat him?

If it was the latter, even if Tong Huaqiong didn't like Gu Honglian, she would still call Fan Tong a good-for-nothing.

Any man who commits domestic violence deserves to die, regardless of time or place.

In his previous life, Fan Tong did not reveal his violent nature. Firstly, he could not beat Gu Taohua, and secondly, he was afraid of Gu Jingzhe and Tong Huaqiong.

It is not certain that he will become Gu Honglian's husband in this life.

"What happened to my aunt? Who hit her?" Gu Baishuang asked.

Gu Baishuang also doesn't like Gu Honglian.

But as the daughter of the Gu family, she was not happy to see her aunt being beaten.

Old Mrs. Gu cried and said, "Who hit me? My neck was scratched by my sister-in-law, and my face was hit by Fan Tong."

Tong Huaqiong thought to herself, Fan Tong is really a piece of shit.

"Why did they beat my aunt?"

Gu Baishuang got angry. Fan Tong had been a little scheming, so how could he hit him?

"Why else? My aunt has such a bad temper. She can be tolerated in her parents' home, but not in her husband's family. Beating a submissive daughter-in-law makes soft dough. This is what my grandma said when she asked Ruinian to beat me when I first got married. Now it has come true to my aunt."

Wu Na made sarcastic remarks on the side.

Old Lady Gu was so angry that she yelled at Wu Na: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Wu Na curled her lips.

When they just got married, Gu Ruinian was instigated to attack her. If she hadn't slashed him with a knife and scared Gu Ruinian to death, Gu Honglian's present would be her yesterday.

"What's going on?" Tong Huaqiong looked at Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian felt even more aggrieved when she saw Tong Huaqiong.

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Tong Huaqiong, unsure whether Tong Huaqiong came to laugh at her or to express her genuine concern.

"Sister-in-law, the Fan family bullied me..."

Gu Honglian began to tell the story crying.

Fan Tong's mother never liked Gu Honglian.

He agreed to marry Tong Huaqiong only for the sake of Gu Jingzhe and Tong Huaqiong's backing.

I thought Gu Honglian would bring a large dowry, but I didn't expect that the dowry was only bedding, washbasin, toilet and mirror.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family didn't believe that Gu Honglian only had these, and forced Gu Honglian to pay the money and the land deed.

Gu Honglian held the silver given by Gu Jingzhe and Gu Baishuang tightly in her hands and refused to reveal that she had silver, let alone a land deed. When asked about a dowry, she denied having one.

Old Mrs. Fan and the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family couldn't get the money, so they started to be rude to Gu Honglian. Their words were like poison every day, and later they found all kinds of ways to torment Gu Honglian.

Old Mrs. Fan caught a cold when she got up at night, so she asked Gu Honglian to sleep on the floor in front of her bed and take care of her. Gu Honglian took care of her for three days. In addition, she had to work in the fields during the day, so she finally couldn't bear it and fell ill.

This caused an uproar. Old Mrs. Fan cried and said that she had a miserable life. Not only did she refuse to seek medical treatment for Gu Honglian, she also said that the wife her son, a scholar, married was unfilial.

Gu Honglian retorted a few words and Mrs. Fan fainted.

When the elder sister-in-law heard the news, she ran to Fan's house and scolded Gu Honglian. Gu Honglian was speechless.

Gu Honglian cried to Fan Tong every day. Because Fan Tong was studying in a private school in the town, Gu Honglian wanted to separate from the family and move to the town with Fan Tong to live a simple life.

Fan Tong disagreed and said that Gu Honglian was unfilial, did not want to serve her mother-in-law, and wanted to go to the town to enjoy a peaceful life.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family and Fan Tong shared the same hatred, saying that which daughter-in-law does not serve her mother-in-law and instead wants to go out and live with a educated man? Gu Honglian's behavior is simply going against the will of heaven.

Gu Honglian was so angry that she argued with the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family, saying that her nephew was going to Shengjing to take the imperial examination, and the eldest sister-in-law asked her daughter-in-law to go with him, so why couldn't she go to live in the town with Fan Tong.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family asked how much dowry Gu Honglian brought. If she brought a large dowry like Lu Zhaozhao, the Fan family would also treat her like a great lady.

Old Lady Fan scolded Gu Honglian, a little whore who couldn't live without men, and her behavior was eighteen levels more obscene than that of Old Lady Gu.

Even Fan Tong was dissatisfied with Gu Honglian's proposal. He married her for her family property. Since Gu Honglian had no property, her role was to serve her mother-in-law at home, take over the heavy work at home, and raise children.

How could Gu Honglian be worthy of living in the town with him?

He also wanted to find an official position after passing the imperial examination, and take a beautiful concubine to accompany him to the post. For the sake of Gu Jingzhe and Tong Huaqiong, he would let Gu Honglian remain as his principal wife, and then his principal wife would stabilize his rear.

He felt that Gu Honglian was not virtuous at all, was unfilial to her mother-in-law, and disrespectful to her sisters-in-law.

She even didn't care enough about her husband, and whenever she saw him, she would pour out all her troubles in the Fan family. He was a scholar, not the one to solve cases for the family.

Fan Tong was very disappointed with Gu Honglian and expressed his disappointment to her directly, and he treated her coldly in the following days.

Her mother-in-law disliked her, her sisters-in-law and elder sister-in-law made trouble from time to time, and her husband ignored her. Gu Honglian's life was as miserable as boiling oil.

It was a day ago that things escalated into domestic violence.
