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

Because Gu Ruinian and Wu Na were sold to Boss Qian as slaves.

Old Man Gu, Gu Youtian and everyone else in the old house lost interest and no longer had time to bother with Gu Xiaoxue.

Jia approached Gu Fengnian and Wei, hoping they would pay for Gu Ruinian's redemption, but they refused. Gu Fengnian, who was always taciturn, even listed his parents' partiality towards Gu Ruinian and rebuked them for the harm they had done to him and Xiaoxue. Jia was stunned and burst into tears, calling Gu Fengnian an ungrateful person.

Gu Fengnian remained unmoved.

In desperation, Jia lowered her status and went to work in Yanguan Town in order to redeem Gu Ruinian.

With several laborers leaving the house at once, the work at the Gu family's old house had to be assigned to Grandpa Gu, Gu Youtian, and Mrs. Gu.

Gu Youtian was forced to work in the fields with Old Man Gu, while Old Lady Gu took on all the housework.

Wu Na's daughter had no one to take care of her and was crying with hunger.

Originally, Mr. Gu and others were not happy that Wu Na gave birth to a daughter. Mrs. Gu did not have the energy to take care of her great-granddaughter, so Jia and Gu Youtian planned to sell their granddaughter as a child bride.

A girl will get married sooner or later, and keeping her here is a waste of food.

Gu Youtian was a good-for-nothing. He actually found a family and wanted to sell his granddaughter to their teenage son as a child bride for fifty taels of silver.

After Wu Na found out, she rushed to the Gu family's old house like crazy from Boss Qian's field, slashed at Gu Youtian with a knife, and rescued her daughter from the carriage.

Even those in the village who hated Wu Na were infected by her reckless behavior for her daughter.

"Wu Na is able to do this for her daughter." Tong Huaqiong said.

Actually it is not surprising.

Putting aside the character of the Wu family, Wu Ren and his wife treated Wu Na very well.

As a daughter, Wu Na has been treated well by her parents, so she loves her own daughter.

"She really loves her daughter. After my niece was born, my second brother and my parents were all upset. As soon as my second sister-in-law recovered her breath, she hugged my niece and told her that no one should think that my niece was a girl. If anyone did, she would kill them with a big knife. My niece's full moon ceremony was held very grandly at my second sister-in-law's request. She even sold all the food and chickens and ducks in the house for it. My grandmother was so angry that she scolded me for several days."

To be honest, Gu Xiaoxue envied the babies in swaddling clothes.

Having such a strong mother to protect me.

If Jia had given her a little protection, she would not have broken up with Jia.

Gu Xiaoxue felt sorry for her niece and put a longevity lock on her.

After Wu Na rescued her daughter, she smashed the Gu family's house.

Wu Na, who has always looked down on everyone for the sake of her daughter, kneels down at the door of Boss Qian, hoping that Boss Qian will show mercy and allow her to take her daughter to his side to take care of her.

Boss Qian agreed to Wu Na's request out of consideration for her motherly love.

And Wu Na was given some easy work that would not interfere with taking care of the children.

"Maybe Wu Na will earn enough money to redeem herself and give it to my second brother to get a divorce. My second brother is really a good-for-nothing. He watched my father sell his daughter with an indifferent look on his face. Maybe he also planned to sell his daughter, but my father got there first." Gu Xiaoxue said.

Now the old house is in chaos all day long.

Old Mrs. Gu would have an attack from time to time when she was tired from work.

She used to favor Gu Youtian, but now she attacks Gu Youtian indiscriminately as well.

Before Gu Xiaoxue came to Shengjing, after hearing the news, Mr. Gu asked her to return to the old house for dinner. Gu Xiaoxue knew that they were worried that she would go to Shengjing to seek refuge with Tong Huaqiong and never return to Qinghewan, and the only golden egg that the Gu family old house could still count on would be completely lost.

But Gu Xiaoxue refused.

Jia went to Gu Xiaoxue and cried, but Gu Xiaoxue refused to compromise and stepped into the old house.

She was afraid that she would not be able to leave the old house once she went there.

In fact, Gu Xiaoxue guessed correctly.

The Gu family’s old house has not given up hunting Gu Xiaoxue.

If Gu Xiaoxue really went to the old house before leaving, Gu Youtian would knock her unconscious, tie her up and send her to the old widower as his second wife.

How could she still gossip with Tong Huaqiong in the warm house of Shengjing?

"How are Gu Honglian and Fan Tong?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

When it comes to Gu Honglian and Fan Tong, Gu Xiaoxue is speechless.

Gu Xiaoxue said: "My aunt hadn't gotten pregnant for half a year after getting married, so her mother-in-law wanted to take a concubine for my uncle. Although my uncle didn't agree explicitly, he said it was not good to disobey his mother, which made my aunt so angry that she went back to her parents' home and cried. However, given the financial situation of the Fan family, no one was willing to be Fan Tong's concubine. Since everyone wanted to be a concubine, what they pursued was a life of luxury. Who would bother to be a concubine for the poor Fan Tong?"

Taking a concubine in just half a year is indeed something an old woman can do.

Ever since the old woman was taught a lesson by the Gu family, she dared not openly torture Gu Honglian and used the method of taking a concubine for her son to disgust Gu Honglian.

There are many reasons to take a concubine. For the sake of offspring, even outsiders cannot say that there is anything wrong with her.

Fortunately, Fan Tong was poor enough, and Old Lady Fan only had the idea of taking a concubine for her son, but she did not have the capital to do so.

In the previous life, after Fan Tong and Gu Taohua got married and became rich, he had concubines on both sides. Not only did he have concubines at home, he also kept mistresses outside.

"My aunt went back to her parents' home and learned that Dahan and I were coming to Shengjing. She went home and told my uncle-in-law, and the couple ran to Dahan and asked him to take them to Shengjing. My uncle-in-law said that he could earn money by copying and teaching in Shengjing, but Dahan ignored him. My aunt ran to my grandfather and cried, and my grandfather personally intervened to pressure Dahan to agree. Fortunately, Dahan withstood the pressure and did not agree."

Tong Huaqiong wondered what a scholar like Fan Tong could do in Shengjing.

Thinking that Gu Jingzhe would pass the imperial examination next year, he came to Shengjing in advance to scout out the options.

Fortunately, Gu Dahan did not bring them with him. With Fan Tong and Gu Honglian's strength, without a guide, they could not even raise enough money to go to Shengjing.

But Tong Huaqiong guessed wrong.

While she and Gu Xiaoxue were discussing Gu Honglian and Fan Tong, Fan Tong borrowed money from relatives and friends, cheated his classmates' money, and went to Beijing with Gu Honglian, following Gu Dahan.

Old Mrs. Fan wanted to detain Gu Honglian at home.

Fan Tong tried his best to persuade Old Lady Fan. Although Fan Tong also wanted Gu Honglian to stay at home so as not to delay him from making female friends outside, Tong Huaqiong would not recognize him if he did not bring Gu Honglian to Beijing. For the sake of his future, he had no choice but to bring Gu Honglian with him to Beijing.

In order to avoid being discovered and chased back by Gu Dahan and others, the two of them followed them secretly all the way.

Fan Tong planned to go directly to Gu Jingzhe when he arrived in Shengjing.

He felt that Gu Dahan was a rough and short-sighted man who looked down on him as a scholar just because he made some money. It was Gu Jingzhe who understood his value.

Fan Tong took Gu Jingzhe's words that he should treat his aunt well and that the Gu family would not treat him unfairly as a hint to remind him when Gu Jingzhe becomes successful.

At this time, outside Shengjing City.

Fan Tong and Gu Honglian stood in the snow and wind in the dark night, looking at the closed gates of Shengjing City, stamping their frozen feet and wanting to curse.

They didn't expect that Shengjing would be closed so early in the winter.

The two men, cold and hungry, returned to the carriage and ordered the driver to pull them back.

The carriage moved very slowly in the wind and snow. When Fan Tong and Gu Honglian were about to freeze to unconsciousness, they finally came across a village.

The two men knocked on the door of a house, intending to stay there for one night and then go into the city to look for Gu Jingzhe early the next morning.
