The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.
Chapter 215 Respecting the Mother-in-Law's Opinions
Liu Yue'e then went to Chen Sufen's room.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
When Chen Sufen saw Liu Yue'e looking angry, she thought she had quarreled with Gu Dashu, so she tried to persuade her.
Liu Yue'e sat opposite Chen Sufen and told Chen Sufen about her mother-in-law's unrequited love for Boss Qian.
Chen Sufen wasn't as gossipy as Liu Yue'e.
Once Liu Yue'e gets involved in gossip, she can pull it into a tangled mess. Liu Yue'e had long since discovered that Boss Qian had feelings for her mother-in-law, and she couldn't hold back any longer, so she revealed it to Chen Sufeng and Gu Dashu.
Chen Sufen felt that regardless of whether her mother-in-law remarried or not, or who she remarried to, it was not something she, as a daughter-in-law, could discuss or comment on. Therefore, whenever Liu Yue'e discussed this matter with her, she would change the subject.
This time not, because Boss Qian came to my house.
Refusing to discuss it further would be too damaging to the relationship with Liu Yue'e.
Previously, Liu Yue'e did indeed intend to bully Chen Sufen, but ever since her mother-in-law started to dominate the whole family, Liu Yue'e gradually began to treat Chen Sufen with the genuine affection of a sister-in-law.
So the two of them discussed what had happened that day.
After exchanging opinions, the two sisters-in-law found that they were in complete agreement on whether their mother-in-law should remarry.
That is to fully respect the mother-in-law's opinion.
When Liu Yue'e mentioned Gu Dashu's attitude towards the matter, she gritted her teeth and said, "Just you wait and see. If my mother-in-law really has the idea of remarrying, my husband and brother-in-law will definitely object. So what's the use of raising sons? Don't be fooled by how filial they are usually; they can't see the bitterness of being a widow at all."
Chen Su-fen nodded in agreement and said, "Who can argue with that?"
In the past, Chen Sufeng was always worried about only having one daughter after so many years of marriage. Even now, she still feels regretful, but if she had to choose, she still thinks her daughter is better.
Take my mother-in-law for example. After my father-in-law passed away, it was Gu Taohua who comforted and supported her.
Although her two sons also felt sorry for her, they were not as considerate as her daughter.
The two sisters-in-law exchanged a few more words, and when they heard Tong Huaqiong calling for someone outside, they went out.
Fenglelou delivered wine and dishes.
Mr. Qian smiled and busied himself setting up the tables.
Liu Yue'e and Chen Sufen initially felt slightly awkward in front of Boss Qian, but seeing that their mother-in-law's expression was normal, they quickly regained their composure.
As soon as the food was laid out, Gu Dahan and the others returned to the courtyard under the moonlight.
He Chao helped Hong Shi up; Hong Shi's eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying.
"How's the digging going?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
“These are the remains of my parents and younger brother,” Mrs. Hong said, clutching her handkerchief and choking back tears.
The reason Mr. Hong was so certain was that the right hand of one of the remains was missing.
Those are the remains of Hong's mother.
At the time, her mother was wearing an exquisite bracelet on her right hand, but the bracelet had a knot that couldn't be untied. The soldiers cut off her right hand and took the severed hand and the bracelet together.
Tong Huaqiong comforted them, "It's good that it's your parents and brother. Don't cry anymore. Let's choose a good day to bury them."
Hong nodded.
At this time, the remains of Hong's parents and younger brother were temporarily stored in the Buddhist hall of the pig farm by Gu Dahan.
He Chao plans to find a feng shui master to select an auspicious burial site in Qinghe Bay for a proper burial.
Hong was finally relieved of a worry.
Tong Huaqiong then invited the village chief and the hired workers who had helped dig up the remains to have a meal together.
Fortunately, Mr. Qian was generous and had someone prepare three more tables of dishes in town.
Tong Huaqiong's family didn't have enough tables, so she asked Gu Dashu to borrow tables and chairs from Liu Yue'e's family.
The first day the hired workers worked at Tong Huaqiong's house, they helped dig up the remains. They went to the river to bathe and change their clothes before eating.
No one expected that Tong Huaqiong would prepare such a lavish feast. Upon learning that it was ordered from Fenglelou Restaurant, everyone was eager to try it. Fenglelou Restaurant was the most prestigious restaurant in the village; in the past, only Xu Jin's family and the former village chief Xu Yong's family could afford to host such a feast.
No one held back; some sat, some squatted, and they devoured all the dishes on the table.
After the meal, Mr. and Mrs. He Chaohong and Mr. Qian returned to town. Before leaving, they made an appointment with the village chief to come and build the house soon, and entrusted all the purchasing of materials and construction matters to the village chief's son, Liu Tong.
The village chief happily agreed.
As soon as Boss Qian left, the brothers Gu Jingzhe and Gu Dashu breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, even though the two brothers knew that their mother had no feelings for Mr. Qian, they still couldn't stand him.
"Great Heat Mother, will you give the medicine to Xu Yong, Xu Jin's family, and Granny Yan's family?"
After everyone had left, Liu Tielian asked Tong Huaqiong for her opinion.
Now almost every household in the village has received disinfectant and insecticide, except for these three families.
Firstly, they were too ashamed to come to Tong Huaqiong's house to get medicine, and secondly, Liu Tielian hadn't even notified them.
Logically speaking, given the animosity between Tong Huaqiong and the three families, it would be impossible for her to give them medicine.
However, Tong Huaqiong also said that if the ear rot disease is not eradicated in one piece of land in the village, it will spread to the whole village, and even if pesticides are applied to other lands, they will all be ruined.
Tong Huaqiong had naturally thought of this problem as well. The medicine must be given, but the question was how to give it.
Tong Huaqiong said, "If they want the medicine, I won't be stingy, but I have conditions. I can leave other families without charging them, but I will charge these three families. One bottle of medicine will cost one tael of silver."
This bottle of pesticide is indeed a bit expensive for pesticide pricing.
However, since this is Tong Huaqiong's patented technology, they have to buy this medicine if they want a bumper corn harvest this year.
Tong Huaqiong hoped for a good harvest from Granny Yan's land, since Granny Yan still owed her money, and she planned to have Granny Yan use this year's corn to pay off the debt.
Now all the corn in Granny Yan's cornfield belongs to Tong Huaqiong, and she doesn't want her harvest to be affected.
"Will they pay this money?" Liu Tielian was a little unsure about their thoughts.
Tong Huaqiong said confidently, "They will definitely pay for it."
Even if Granny Yan doesn't pay, Xu Jin will.
And then there's Xu Yong.
Tong Huaqiong had already anticipated that Xu Yong would not miss this opportunity.
She felt that Xu Yong was only waiting for Tong Huaqiong to agree to sell him the medicine.
He might use the medicine to develop a formula for profit.
If that's really the case, Tong Huaqiong thought, then they'd better wait and suffer a big setback.
Seeing Tong Huaqiong's certainty, Liu Tielian said, "Okay, I'll go and tell them."
Just as Tong Huaqiong had predicted, when Liu Tielian went from house to house in these three households, apart from Granny Yan, Xu Yong and Xu Jin were all willing to pay for the medicine.
Xu Yong had even secretly gone to check the land where Gu Dahan had applied the medicine, and based on his experience, the medicine was definitely effective.
He was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would hold a grudge and refuse to sell him the medicine.
He was overjoyed to learn from Liu Tielian that Tong Huaqiong was willing to sell him medicine and happily took out his money.
Granny Yan was initially unwilling to buy the medicine, saying that Widow Tong was up to no good. Xu Yong scolded her for it. Granny Yan then said she didn't have the money to buy it, so Xu Yong generously paid for it for her.
After giving away the medicine, Tong Huaqiong kept a close eye on Xu Yong's family's activities.
Based on Tong Huaqiong's understanding of Xu Yong, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
There are many talented people in this era; based on the medicine she provided, they can definitely make a knock-off version.
Even if the effect is not as great as the medicine she brought from her space, killing half of the ear rot and cotton aphids is still a great deed.
How could Xu Yong possibly give up something so tempting? (End of Chapter)
