Chapter 28 Wrong idea
No matter how Chen Shufen and Man'er describe it, Tong Huaqiong has become different from before.
Gu Baishuang didn’t even believe it.
She didn’t believe that a person who had been evil for thirty or forty years could change in such a short time.
On the way, she saw Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua sitting in Uncle Xu's carriage, packed with bags. Thinking of the black-hearted stepmother Chen Sufen said, she goes to the town every day to sell food and think of ways to make money. She just felt What happened in the Gu family was getting more and more confusing.
It was already dark when Uncle Xu's ox cart arrived at Qinghe Bay.
Chen Sufen was worried about her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she held Man'er in one hand and an angry lantern in the other to greet them at the entrance of the village.
"Grandma, grandma is back. Mom, look, grandma and sister-in-law are in Grandpa Xu's car." Man'er's sharp eyes saw Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua sitting on Uncle Xu's carriage, and she ran over excitedly .
"Man'er is so filial, you are here to welcome me." Tong Huaqiong jumped out of the carriage, rubbed Man'er's head, and said with a smile, "I'll pull the flower cloth for you, turn around and ask your mother I’ll make you some colorful clothes.”
“Okay, okay, I’m so happy to have colorful clothes to wear.” Man’er clapped her hands excitedly.
This scene fell in the eyes of Uncle Xu and others in Qinghewan, as if they had seen a ghost.
What is going on?
When did Widow Tong and the Gu family become so harmonious.
Who in the whole village doesn’t know that Widow Tong is poisonous to the Gu family’s main house.
Although the Gu family deliberately concealed it, no one in the village could keep the secret. These days, it was spread throughout the village that Widow Tong wanted to send Man'er to a wealthy family for her youngest son's education.
The villagers were afraid that Widow Tong would act up and dare not speak to her face to face. In fact, Xiang had already been scolded behind her back.
Now there is a rumor in the village that for some unknown reason, Man'er did not go, but instead compensated Gu Yaozu. In the next two days, Gu Yaozu will be sent out to pledge his money.
Everyone in the village who sympathized with the Gu family's big house clapped behind their backs.
"Sister-in-law, come on, mom has bought a lot of things."
Gu Taohua picked up the things from the car one by one, and Chen Sufen came over to help organize them.
"Not only does Man'er have new clothes, but Mom also made new clothes for my sister-in-law." Gu Taohua patted the satin in her arms and said.
The people who returned home from the town with Tong Huaqiong looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Tong Huaqiong, who is always on the list of vicious mother-in-laws in Qinghe Bay, is so kind to her daughter-in-law and even rips off her clothes.
What’s even more rare is that Gu Taohua, who bullied Chen Sufen whenever they disagreed, also changed her gender.
There are people who are weird.
"Oh, the sun really comes out from the west, and Chen Sufen can also have new clothes to wear."
"Don't have any bigger intentions. After all, she is a stepmother and a mother-in-law. Can she treat Sufen sincerely? Okay?”
“How much is a piece of cloth worth? I’m afraid not. She deliberately made a gesture of selling her granddaughter for the sake of her son's future."
...
These words came into Chen Sufen's ears. Chen Sufen was extremely embarrassed, rubbed her hands and said softly: "I. My mother-in-law is not that kind of person.”
Some of the little wives curled their lips, but Chen Sufen was also bullied into a fool's errand and became confused even if she was given a little sweetness.
“I’m pulling your father’s balls. I’ve made a mess of myself. Don’t even think about ruining the relationship between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”
Tong Huaqiong put her hands on her hips with a righteous look on her face.
For those who didn’t know, I thought she had a very good relationship with Chen Sufen in the past.
Since Tong Huaqiong is used to being domineering in the village, when she speaks, others tremble and no longer dare to say unpleasant words. They are really afraid that Tong Huaqiong will go to someone else's house and throw a pot of blame if they disagree.
"Ouch." Chen Sufen handed the angry lantern to Man'er, then bent down to carry the baking ingredients bought by Tong Huaqiong. She felt someone bumped her butt and couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Gu Taohua asked.
Chen Sufen pretended to be unintentional and said: "It's okay, I just flashed my waist."
Tong Huaqiong's eyes were dim and unclear.
When Chen Sufen shouted just now, she glanced at Xu Si, a gangster in the village, passing behind Chen Sufen.
This scoundrel often took advantage of the eldest girl and the younger daughter-in-law from time to time. Tong Huaqiong didn't know whether Xu Si bumped into Chen Sufen's butt intentionally or unintentionally. In any case, if he thought Chen Sufen was easy to bully, he was wrong.
Tong Huaqiong stared at Xu Si's back and sneered in her heart, sooner or later she would let Xu Si fall into her hands, Tong Huaqiong. "Old Xu, thank you for your car. Taohua and I will ride in your car from now on." Tong Huaqiong said to Uncle Xu.
Uncle Xu nodded and said: "Okay, you can tell me in advance when the time comes, and I will reserve a place for you."
After all, today Widow Tong, mother and daughter He gave the fare to four people and it did not affect other people in the village taking his car, so he was naturally willing to do this business.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Chen Sufen asked, carrying a pile of things.
She was happy that her mother-in-law had arranged something for her and Man'er, but she also felt that it was too expensive.
Looking at my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, who leave early in the morning and come home late, I know that making money is not easy.
"My mother is very happy about the good business today. The mung bean cakes are all sold out. Sister-in-law, how much money do you think we sold today?" Gu Taohua gave Chen Sufen a clue.
"How much? I can't guess." Chen Sufen said honestly.
"Sold for five taels of silver." Gu Taohua looked happy.
Chen Sufen couldn't believe it and turned to look at her mother-in-law.
"Your sister-in-law didn't lie to you." Tong Huaqiong also looked happy.
“That’s great.” Chen Sufen was excited and incoherent.
"Sister-in-law, you don’t even know how clever my idea is. She set up her stall at the gate of the Sweet Food Garden today. I was scared, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to sell it. Don’t tell me, it’s really true. Some people came to buy it. Those who tried it said that our mung bean cake is more delicious than Su Shiyuan.”
"Also, sister-in-law, you would never have imagined that we met a noble person. The rich man in town, Huang Yuanwai, couldn't stop praising us for eating our mung bean cake, and ordered us a batch of pastries for his mother's birthday party."< br>
When Chen Sufen heard that her mother-in-law was just baking in the food garden, she felt incredible. At this time, when she heard that Huang Yuanwai was organizing a birthday banquet for her mother and ordered her own pastries, her mind went blank.
“That’s why I bought so much sugar, oil, red dates and other ingredients. Let’s make a batch of pastries and send them to Huang’s wife’s house. If he is satisfied, we’ll get started.” Tong Huaqiong said.
Chen Sufen was so excited that she almost fainted.
“I believe in my mother’s craftsmanship, Huang Yuanwai will definitely be satisfied with it.”
After these few days, both she and Gu Taohua believed that there was no snack that Tong Huaqiong couldn't make.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and aunt are thinking about a good life of making money while walking.
The late spring wind blows gently, and the aroma of green wheat comes from the fields.
"My mother-in-law is back?"
Tong Huaqiong came to the door of the house, and Liu Yuee's biological father Liu Tiechui was coming out of the Gu family yard.
Tong Huaqiong nodded.
If the memory of the original owner is correct, Liu Yue'e's biological father married Liu Yue'e into the Gu family, and this was the first time he came to visit her.
Tong Huaqiong guessed that his visit must be related to Yaozu.
"My mother-in-law is not saying weird things, but your third child is too shameless. How can you cheat your nieces and nephews just to study? It's a good thing that the third child is good at studying, but if he has a crooked mind, he will even pass the exam. The number one scholar is useless."
Liu Tiechui came to give Liu Yue'e ten taels of silver. When he went out and met Tong Huaqiong, he couldn't help but talk to Tong Huaqiong.
After he finished speaking, he regretted it again, because he was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would jump in and poke fun at his eighteenth generation ancestors.
"What my father-in-law said is true. My father-in-law and I think the same, so I won't let the third child go to school." Tong Huaqiong said calmly.
Liu Tiechui was surprised.
Did my mother-in-law change her personality?
"I gave Yue'e ten taels of silver, and my mother-in-law will think of a way to prevent Yaozu from getting involved. He is also my grandson." Liu Tiechui said.
Tong Huaqiong's face was full of surprise.
Liu Yuee has a good father!
Liu Yue'e is so confused that she would rather marry Gu Dashu than her parents. The Liu family has not recognized the Gu family for so many years, but at the critical moment the Liu family still takes care of their daughter.
Twelve taels of silver, for a farmer, is a drain on his family's wealth.
There are not many people in this era who can do this for their daughters, not to mention Liu Yue'e is not a filial person.
