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

Because it was too dark, the brother and sister did not see Tong Huaqiong enter the house. They were startled when they suddenly heard Tong Huaqiong's voice rushing out.

"Mother, I'm talking about you and Boss Qian."

Gu Taohua, completely unguarded, threw the topic she and Gu Jingzhe had been discussing to Tong Huaqiong, and immediately regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

Gu Taohua didn't regret discussing this topic with her third brother in private; she was worried that the topic would embarrass her mother.

Even the fiercest woman wouldn't want to discuss men in front of her children.

Tong Huaqiong asked, "What are you talking about, me and Boss Qian?"

These two wicked bamboos probably don't really want her to find them a strange father.

To be honest, when she first transmigrated, she would rather marry Boss Qian than run a business with this bunch of scoundrels.

But things are different now. Tong Huaqiong now owns shops, has businesses, and has ambitions. She may become the mother of a top scholar and receive an imperial decree. Moreover, she is an undisobedient ancestor in the Gu family, and everyone has to listen to her.

She has no desire to marry and live a life where she has to put up with her partner's attitude.

Let alone Mr. Qian, even if the emperor asked her to enter the palace and become empress, she might not agree.

Of course, becoming Empress Dowager is something I could consider.

Gu Taohua thought that since she had already brought it up, she might as well not hide it anymore.

Anyway, there were no secrets between her and Tong Huaqiong and her daughter, so they could talk about anything. So she gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, Third Brother said he can tell that Boss Qian is starting to like you."

Gu Taohua means that I didn't spread any rumors about you, Mother; it was all my third brother who dragged me into spreading them.

Gu Jingzhe's face darkened; he wanted to escape.

But Tong Huaqiong was blocking the door, and he was afraid that if Tong Huaqiong caught him, she would beat him up.

"Mother, I was just talking nonsense," Gu Jingzhe retorted.

Tong Huaqiong shrugged and said, "I'm so amazing, isn't it normal for a man or two to like me?"

These words greatly surprised Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua.

You should know that right after Old Man Gu died, Tong Dajiao was worried about being involved in any scandals, so she would close the door before dark every day and run away whenever she saw a man.

She would be furious if anyone said she had glanced at a certain man in the village.

This is why she always lost when fighting with Granny Yan and Granny Huang last year.

Because those two old women always bring up fabricated rumors about her, she gets weak and breathless whenever she glances at a male animal.

Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua exchanged a glance. They felt that their mother was now acting like she had nothing to lose. Not only could the rumors not get through to her, she was also actively taking the rumors upon herself.

Could it be
Gu Jingzhe inwardly groaned, "Is my mother really going to remarry Boss Qian?"
It's not that it's impossible, but the main issue is that he's not mentally prepared for the idea of ​​sending his mother off to get married.

Gu Taohua was excited, already imagining Tong Huaqiong in her wedding dress.

"Mother, you also have feelings for Boss Qian, right?" Gu Taohua looked into the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

That must be it, otherwise why would Mother have let Boss Qian come to our door?

Tong Huaqiong rolled her eyes at Gu Taohua, thinking, "How can my chubby daughter be so clueless?"

"You want to do the splits? I have absolutely no feelings for him," Tong Huaqiong said frankly. "Just because I let him come to our house doesn't mean I like him. So many men from our village come to our house, do you think I could make them all your 'fathers' one by one?"

Gu Jingzhe breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That's wonderful, since Mom doesn't have any feelings for Boss Qian.

Gu Taohua said, "Can the men in our village compare to Boss Qian? Boss Qian is rich, not ugly or bald, and has a good sense of humor. If you want to remarry, Boss Qian is the best choice. You won't find another like him in your village."

Tong Huaqiong thought to herself that Gu Taohua hadn't seen many men; she considered any man who wasn't bald or ugly to be quite good. She never considered that if Tong Huaqiong really remarried, her life would certainly not be as peaceful as it was now.

Tong Huaqiong said, "You two were hiding in the house plotting to get me married?"

Gu Jingzhe was unsure of Tong Huaqiong's true thoughts, so he said cautiously, "Mother, if you really want to remarry, your son will definitely support you. It's just that I feel that Boss Qian is not good enough for you. You can think about it again."

Tong Huaqiong smiled; she understood Gu Jingzhe's thoughts very well.

Don't be fooled by Gu Jingzhe's claim of supporting her remarriage; it's because Gu Jingzhe is afraid of her.

If we're talking about who's the most old-fashioned in this family right now, it has to be Gu Jingzhe. He doesn't want his mother to remarry.

However, Tong Huaqiong didn't intend to expose her, since she wasn't going to remarry anyway.

Gu Taohua said to Tong Huaqiong, "Mother, if you really want to remarry, no one can stop you. So what if you remarry? So many widows remarry. Last time I heard Lu Zhaozhao say that our current Empress Dowager was a widow who remarried."

Tong Huaqiong laughed and said, "Even the Empress Dowager, who was also a widow, could marry into the royal family, so why can't I? That's why I would never marry Mr. Qian, even if I were to remarry. Your mother has no interest in Mr. Qian. If he were the emperor, I might consider it."

Tong Huaqiong's meaning was clear: she had no romantic feelings for Boss Qian.

She had no intention of remarrying.

The idea of ​​marrying the emperor is complete nonsense. For a widow like her, with a whole family to support, to marry the emperor is simply a pipe dream.

Gu Jingzhe was happiest about Tong Huaqiong's statement.

After all, he preferred his mother to stay in the Gu family rather than remarry.

Gu Taohua silently mourned for Boss Qian in her heart.

"Mother, if only you really married the emperor, then I would be a princess," Gu Taohua teased.

"You two stop talking about Boss Qian to me, and don't try anything funny with me. Whether I remarry or not, who I remarry, or who I'm interested in is none of your business. Stop worrying about my affairs," Tong Huaqiong said to the two scoundrels.

Gu Jingzhe agreed and quickly slipped out under the pretext of reading.

Gu Taohua didn't slip away; Tong Huaqiong grabbed her and made her report on the store's revenue.

Gu Dashu quietly slipped away from the base of the roof wall, grinning from ear to ear.

Liu Yue'e didn't know what could make her husband so happy, and asked, "Gu Dashu, what's wrong with you? You're laughing like your feet are being tickled."

Gu Dashu pointed at Boss Qian and lowered his voice to Liu Yue'e, saying, "You told me last time that my mother might become the owner of Fenglelou. Let me tell you, that's impossible. I just overheard my mother chatting with Taohua, and she said she has no interest in Boss Qian. So don't talk nonsense. It wouldn't look good if this got out and caused a misunderstanding."

Liu Yue'e glanced towards the doorway and saw Boss Qian standing at the gate with his hands behind his back. She whispered, "Boss Qian is probably heartbroken."

Gu Dashu thought, "So be it, my heart is broken."

Liu Yue'e turned her gaze back to Gu Dashu and said, "Gu Dashu, what are you so happy about? Are you happy that your mother will continue to be a widow in the Gu family? Your mother just doesn't like Boss Qian. What if your mother finds someone she likes and really wants to marry him? Are you going to stop her?"

Gu Dashu had never really thought about this problem.

When Liu Yue'e asked this question, he blurted out, "My mother is already this old, what kind of person would she marry? She'd be a laughingstock."

Liu Yue'e sneered, "You're just worried people will laugh at you for having a stepfather, aren't you? I thought you were the most filial person in the family, but you're nothing special. Gu Dashu, let me tell you, if your mother wants to remarry, you can't stop her, and you shouldn't try to stop her."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Gu Dashu couldn't understand why Liu Yue'e was so angry.

If Tong Huaqiong gets married, what good will it do for Liu Yue'e?

Why is his wife angry?

However, he didn't press the matter further. Remembering that his elder brother was leading people to help the Hong family dig up their parents' remains in the wasteland in the backyard, he pulled Gu Jingzhe along to help. (End of Chapter)
