Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

Li Guixiang always felt that there was something fishy going on between the third son and his mother-in-law, and that the third son had ulterior motives in wanting to take his mother-in-law over.

She also felt that her mother-in-law must have hidden something good to take to the third son's house, and in the end, she absolutely refused to let the third son take her away.

She wasn't very capable at the time, so she didn't get involved in the matter. Gu Yinniu, that bastard, was also afraid of trouble. As long as the issue of his mother's fate didn't fall on him, he wouldn't have any questions.

In the end, the mother-in-law stayed behind. No one knows what Li Guixiang did, but the mother-in-law didn't go with her.

Back then, Li Guixiang confidently promised that she would take good care of the person and wouldn't let them do anything wrong, but what about now?

Thinking about those things, Zhao Laidi felt like she was about to explode. She glared fiercely at Li Guixiang, looking as if she was about to pounce on her and kill her at any moment.

"Zhao Laidi!! Stop pretending. We're all the same. There's hardly anyone here. Who are you trying to fool with this act?"

"You think everyone's like you? You just say one thing and do another?"

"Although I'm not very educated, I know what filial piety and respecting the elderly and caring for the young mean. Look at what you've done! For so many years, this is how my mother-in-law has lived. Tell me, if my brother-in-law finds out, do you think you'll have a good life?"

Hearing this, Li Guixiang was a little frightened. She wasn't fearless, but she was afraid that her husband would find out about these things.

The reason she was able to turn herself into this state is because her husband and his second wife's family don't pay much attention to the old woman at all.

The main thing is that the old woman is still alive, and if she makes a little noise every day, they won't notice anything.

For this reason, none of them knew whether the old woman had gone mad or become mentally unstable.

Seeing that Li Guixiang was silent, Zhao Laidi continued, "Sister-in-law, your Xuewen just passed the imperial examination, right?"

"What do you think he'll do when rumors spread in Gujia Village that his mother was abusing her mother-in-law before his next exam?"

Zhao Laidi was illiterate, but she understood the power of gossip. For both women and men, reputation was of paramount importance.

As expected, upon hearing this, Li Guixiang glared fiercely at Zhao Laidi like a lion with its mane bristling.

"Zhao Laidi, I'm warning you, you better shut up. If I hear anything outside about Xuewen from our family, you'll regret it."

"Oh dear, I'm so scared! Who do you think you are, trying to make me suffer? Fine, let's go to the government office right now and have a good talk with the officials. Let them judge how you're going to make me suffer."

Zhao Laidi had a "come on if you dare" look on her face, which made Li Guixiang want to hit her. Zhao Laidi usually liked to cheat and be cunning. Although they had been sisters-in-law for more than ten years, they did not know each other very well.

The eldest and second wives were probably closer when the old man was still alive. But since he passed away and the third son was driven away, the only time the eldest and second wives see each other is during meals.

But this doesn't happen often. They only sit down to eat together occasionally. Most of the time, the two families cook separately.

A fight broke out in the courtyard, but no one inside the house came out. Gu Yinniu lay on the bed listening to the commotion, not worried at all about his wife getting hurt.

After all, apart from the Lin family, there probably isn't anyone in Gujia Village who could make his wife suffer.

“Zhao Laidi, things have already turned out this way, it’s no use making a scene with me. I have things to do now, and if you’re going to stop me, then don’t blame me.”

"Don't make it sound so serious and try to scare me. I've been scared before. Besides, if you're going to do those wicked things, why bring your mother-in-law along?"

She overheard it yesterday and thought the old woman wanted to do it herself, but she never expected that the old woman would actually set her sights on her own mother-in-law.

"You don't need to worry about this. It's not really your business now. You'd better pretend you didn't see or hear anything today."

Zhao Laidi narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. She stood up from the ground and glanced at the side room where Gu Xuewen lived.

"You want me to play deaf and dumb? Fine, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. I wonder how much my sister-in-law can offer me?"

He spoke very loudly, making sure everyone in the Gu family could hear him. Gu Xuewen, who was inside the room, opened the window after hearing it.

"Didn't Second Aunt want to send my younger brothers to Longxing Academy? I think that's a good idea. It would be even better if we sent them in the spring."

Hearing this, Zhao Laidi's face lit up with a smile, and then she looked at Gu Xuewen by the window: "Oh my, Xuewen really knows how to talk. As expected of someone who has studied, he speaks so well."

"That's true, but sending two kids there will always be some pressure. You know your second uncle, he's incompetent. If I send your two younger brothers, he'll be furious with me!"

"Second Aunt, you don't need to worry about that. Xuewen will take care of everything for your two younger brothers. I just hope that you can do me a favor today."

Throughout the entire conversation, Gu Xuewen did not glance at the person behind the pillar. From his angle, he could have seen the entire person, yet he did not look at them even once.

Zhao Laidi was somewhat unwilling when she heard what he said, but it concerned her two sons, and she had wanted to send them there a long time ago.

But the child's father was useless, and the family didn't have any extra money, so she, as the mother, had no choice.

Now that an opportunity was presented to her, Zhao Laidi glanced at the person behind the pillar, gritted her teeth, turned around, went back to her room, and closed the door.

When Gu Yinniu saw his wife return, her hair and clothes all disheveled, he grinned and asked, "What happened? Did you win? What did you do to your sister-in-law?"

He had barely finished speaking when Zhao Laidi rushed over and her fists came crashing down. Gu Yinniu, who had been punched several times, howled in pain.

"Zhao Laidi!! What are you doing? Are you crazy, you woman? Why are you hitting me for no reason?"

"Ouch...it hurts! I'm still injured. If you break me, you'll be crying."

"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death! You're so useless, what's the point of you being alive? Why am I so unlucky? Why did I have to marry a dog like you?"

"Do you think I was blind back then? How could I have fallen for you?"
