The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Tong Fusheng finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his hand on the dining table.

He roared at Tong Huaqiong, "Look at your bunch of brats! Pulling out hairpins and taking off clothes, and you just stand by and watch? Do you think I'm dead?"

Wang was trembling with anger, pointing at Tong Fusheng and saying, "Look at your good sister, look at the litter of children your good sister raised!"

This means they're going to eat her two children.

Tong Huaqiong chuckled and said, "Taohua and Dashu have the same temper as me. But Zhaodi and Zhijie are really something. Why did you take Taohua's hairpin and wear Dashu's clothes? Is this how you behave when you come to our house as guests? Taking things without asking is theft. This is what you taught me before, brother. You are a scholar, how could you forget such a principle?"

Tong Fusheng was speechless at Tong Huaqiong's words.

He looked up and stared blankly at Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Dajiao would never have spoken to Tong Fusheng like this before. She always obeyed her elder brother. In today's situation, she would have tied up Gu Dashu and Gu Taohua and left them to Tong Fusheng's disposal.

Instead of apologizing, Tong Huaqiong is now blaming Tong Fusheng for all the mistakes.

This was completely unexpected for Tong Fusheng, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Wang was surprised; her sister-in-law's behavior seemed somewhat familiar.

By the way, she looks a lot like the eldest daughter, Tong Panmei.

“Sister-in-law, Zhaodi and Taohua are both girls. It’s inappropriate for Zhijie to be sitting here in just his underwear. Go and help her change.” Tong Huaqiong said to Wang Shi with a smile.

Before Tong Huaqiong could give any instructions, Gu Dahan took out a worn-out work outfit and handed it over.

Wang suppressed her anger and took Tong Zhijie to change his clothes.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we're all family. If your nephew and niece have offended you in any way, please forgive them, just like I forgive Zhijie." After Wang returned to the table, she heard Tong Huaqiong speak very eloquently.

Wang was about to get angry, but Tong Fusheng held her back.

After calming down, he realized that he couldn't afford to cause a scene with the girl right now.

Now that the girl has money, I have to coax her into handing over her cash.

"Oh my, I never thought I'd get to eat meat and vegetables bought with my uncle's money. I have to try it and see what it tastes like." Liu Yue'e washed her hands, went into the house, plopped down, and smiled brightly at Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi.

"Uncle and Aunt, you're too kind."

This table is laden with dishes; it's quite a feast.

The fragrance hit my nose.

When Gu Dashu was taking off Tong Zhijie's clothes, she was filled with trepidation.

I'm afraid her mother-in-law will side with Tong Zhijie.

Everyone knows Tong Zhijie's status in his mother-in-law's heart; it's about the same as Gu Jingzhe's.

Now, the mother-in-law treats Gu Jingzhe like her adopted son, let alone a nephew.

"I must say, this chicken leg is pretty good. Delicious!" After yelling at Tong Zhaodi at the dinner table, Gu Taohua continued to gnaw on the chicken leg as if nothing had happened.

"Well, everyone, sit down and eat." Tong Fusheng felt sorry for the food on the table; he hadn't even taken a bite himself, but Gu Taohua had already started eating.

So he invited everyone to eat.

Tong Huaqiong glanced coldly at Tong Fusheng. Good heavens, he's acting like he's the host. But considering the table full of meat and vegetables he's prepared, she'll tolerate him this once. She waved her hand and said to Chen Sufeng and the others, "Sit down, everyone. We can't let down the meat and vegetables your uncle bought."

In an instant, Gu Dashu and the others surrounded the table.

They even squeezed Tong Zhijie and Tong Zhaodi so much that they couldn't sit down and could only sit on the chairs with their buttocks halfway down.

Led by Tong Huaqiong, Gu Taohua, Gu Dashu, and others kept eating chopsticks like rain.

Gu Taohua monopolized the chicken by herself, finding out the best pieces of meat and serving them to Tong Huaqiong.

Gu Dashu then monopolized the fish, giving Tong Huaqiong the tenderest part of its belly.

Tong Huaqiong calmly enjoys being served by her children.

Liu Yue'e wouldn't give in either, monopolizing a stewed goose and eating it nonstop.

Man'er and Yaozu kept reaching for the meat with their chopsticks. Gu Dahan and Chen Sufeng ate more politely, but they were equally oblivious. Wherever Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie picked up a piece of meat, the two of them would reach for it with their chopsticks and take it away without any courtesy.

Tong Huaqiong took an egg pancake from the basket and her mouth twitched. Wang had put in so many eggs and oil, so she didn't spend any of the Tong family's money.

Gu Dahan explained from the side, "We're out of oil and eggs. My uncle paid for them."

Tong Huaqiong enjoyed her meal even more.

Besides the meat, vegetable, and egg pancakes, there were also two jars of wine.

“Uncle, you’re getting old. My mother said that older people are at risk of fainting from drinking. Let me drink the wine for you.” Gu Dashu took the wine glass and the wine jar in front of Tong Fusheng and placed them in front of himself.

He poured himself a bowl, and poured a bowl for every member of the Gu family except for Yaozu and Man'er.

The remaining jar was sent to Tong Huaqiong's house, saying that drinking alcohol was bad for her health and that it should be used to pickle salted duck eggs.

This really angered Tong Fu.

Gu Dashu didn't pour him a single drop of that whole jar of wine.

Tong Huaqiong, along with her horde of scoundrels, devoured all the food on the table in a whirlwind.

The basket of egg pancakes that Wang made was all eaten.

They drank the whole jar of wine.

The family patted their round bellies and laughed contentedly.

"Brother and sister-in-law, why aren't you eating?" Tong Huaqiong asked with a surprised look, burping as she spoke.

I have to say, it's really nice to eat for free.

Tong Fu was so angry that he wanted to throw his chopsticks down.

They tried to eat, but they couldn't even stick their chopsticks in.

Tong Dajiao's bunch of bamboo shoots are really good at eating!

Wang said with dissatisfaction, "You've eaten all the good meat and vegetables, how are we supposed to eat?"

Tong Huaqiong said earnestly, "It was my oversight. I thought my brother and sister-in-law didn't like to eat these things."

Wang never expected Tong Huaqiong to be so shameless.

Taking advantage of Tong Dajiao's affection for him, Tong Zhijie tugged at Tong Huaqiong's sleeve and said unhappily, "Auntie, I haven't eaten enough."

Tong Huaqiong said to Tong Zhijie, "I remember when we were at home, Zhijie loved to eat steamed buns dipped in vegetable soup. Back then, the vegetable soup was just clear broth, but now it's meat broth, so hurry up and get some steamed buns to dip in."

Gu Dahan said honestly, "Mom, we're out of steamed buns."

Tong Huaqiong spread her hands and said, "Zhijie, there are no steamed buns at home. If you don't want to drink this vegetable soup, it's the same. Don't underestimate this vegetable soup; it's full of oil."

Tong Zhijie stripped Gu Dashu of his clothes, and Tong Huaqiong made him drink vegetable soup, which further aggravated his injury.

Tong Zhijie said, feeling wronged, "Auntie, I want to eat chicken."

Tong Huaqiong said with a surprised look, "If you want to eat chicken, then eat it. Do you think I'll stop you? Ask your parents if they'll let you go to the village to buy chicken. If they agree to give you money, I'll have Dahan go with you to buy it."

Tong Zhijie was stunned. Shouldn't his aunt have asked him to go to the chicken coop to catch and slaughter chickens at this time?
Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi were equally astonished by Tong Huaqiong's attitude toward Tong Zhijie.

This is her most beloved nephew, the nephew she has raised for several years.

Tong Zhijie slammed down his chopsticks and said angrily, "No need for all that trouble. I saw you have a lot of chickens in your coop. Just slaughter one and stew it for me."

Tong Huaqiong shook her head and said, "No way, don't even think about my chickens."

Tong Zhijie felt extremely wronged; his aunt's attitude made him feel out of control.

He yelled at Tong Huaqiong, "It was fine before, why not now? Aunt, you love me the most, but now you won't even kill a chicken for me to eat."

Tong Huaqiong's face darkened, and she said indifferently, "No means no. If you dare to kill a chicken, you try it! You're not my son; I have no obligation to give you chicken to eat." (End of Chapter)
