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

Chapter 343 Who's Your Little Sister?
They nervously crossed the courtyard and arrived at the main room. Wu Ren invited Tong Fusheng and his wife to take the seats of honor, and Qiao ordered a maid to serve tea.

Tong Fusheng and Wang were flattered and overwhelmed.

What's wrong with my in-laws?
Why are you being so enthusiastic towards them?

Wu Ren spoke directly: "I went to the county today and learned that Qinghe Bay has been granted the title of Lady of Suifeng Township. I wondered who it was, but it turns out it's our little sister."

If Tong Huaqiong knew that Wu Ren called her "our little sister," she would definitely spit a mouthful of phlegm in her face.

too disgusting!

Tong Fusheng is not Tong Huaqiong; he not only doesn't feel disgusted, but also feels very proud.

My younger sister became the village head, and I haven't even seen her yet, but I've already benefited from her position.

Even her father-in-law's attitude towards her changed completely.

Tong Fusheng felt a little regretful; he should have known better than to upset his sister last time.

Tong Fusheng laughed and said, "Yes, it was personally conferred by the Emperor. A few days ago, my sister asked someone to bring me a message. I thought my sister must be very busy with welcoming and seeing off guests these days, so I plan to go in a few days."

Qiao asked, "How did your eldest aunt get granted the title of Township Lady?"

Wang said, "Do you know why our corn harvest was so good this year? The medicine to get rid of ear rot was made by my sister-in-law."

Wang looked smug, finally getting a chance to show off in front of her mother-in-law.

Mr. Qiao felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qiao looked down on the Tong family and didn't care about anyone or anything related to them. Just now, her husband mentioned that their daughter-in-law's aunt had been granted the title of "County Lady," and it took her a moment to remember that there was such a person.

I met her at her eldest granddaughter's one-month celebration. She spoke with a loud voice like a gong and drum, telling Tong Pandi to think more about the Tong family. At that time, she disliked it and muttered a few words. Tong Pandi is the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, so naturally she should think about her husband's family. She was rebuked by this aunt.

How did such a low-class item catch the emperor's eye and get him granted the title of Lady of the Township?

Although she didn't quite understand how high a position the village head was, judging from her husband's fawning manner, she knew he could definitely outrank the village head.

Qiao was very unhappy. From now on, Tong Pandi could ride roughshod over her because of Aunt Xiangjun.

Wu Ren said with a smile, "Although your eldest aunt has been granted the title of Lady of the Township, she is still a woman. To put it bluntly, I don't know how many people outside are thinking of harming her. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that she is a widow means she will be bullied in the clan. As her older brother, you should stand up for her."

Tong Fusheng said, "Who says otherwise? But I won't hide it from my father-in-law, my sister has a bad temper. Last time we had a conflict, she sent me a message through someone, but she's still holding a grudge. I was just thinking of finding someone to mediate between us."

Wu Ren said, “Father-in-law, you’re being too inflexible. There’s no such thing as a grudge between siblings that lasts overnight. How about this, I’ll be the mediator. I’m sure I can make you two reconcile. We’ll go to Qinghe Bay tomorrow.”

Tong Fusheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Tong Fusheng didn't realize his mistake until the next day when he arrived at the entrance of Qinghewan Village that he had rashly gone to Tong Huaqiong's house.

If the girl doesn't hold a grudge about the past, then everyone will be happy.

If the girl's temper doesn't change, he'll lose face in front of his father-in-law.

As the carriage traveled along the village road in Qinghe Bay, Tong Fusheng glanced at Wu Ren and his wife sitting beside him and the half-carriage of gifts, thinking that the girl should at least be allowed to enter for Wu Ren's sake.

After all, Wu Ren is the village head, so this relationship is something to be proud of.

Ever since Tong Huaqiong was granted the title of Lady of the Township, people have been coming to her door every day.

It's really annoying to have to come and go all the time.

She has been keeping her doors closed to visitors for the past few days.

Hearing the knocking, Tong Huaqiong remained seated. The knocking continued until she got up and opened the door.

An unfamiliar carriage stopped at the door. Just as Tong Huaqiong was wondering which family had come to claim a marriage alliance, a middle-aged man in a long gown and a woman in dark purple alighted from the carriage.

The two men called Tong Huaqiong "little sister" as soon as they saw her.

Tong Huaqiong thought to herself, "Who are you to call me 'little sister'? Do we even know each other?"
Seeing Tong Huaqiong's questioning look, Qiao sneered inwardly, "As expected, once she becomes the village head, her eyes have wandered to the heavens."

Thinking this to herself, she put on a smile and stepped forward, saying, "Young lady, you must have a bad memory. I am Pandi's mother-in-law."

Pan Di, Grandma?
Tong Huaqiong then remembered that she had a niece, Tong Pandi, whom she had never met.

She searched her memory of Tong Dajiao, and her face immediately turned icy. These two in-laws were pure villains.

She drowned Tong Pandi's youngest daughter. In her past life, Tong Dajiao went to avenge Pandi and got into a hair-pulling fight with this mother-in-law.

Tong Huaqiong said coldly, "Who are you calling 'sister'? What does Pan Di's mother-in-law have to do with me?"

After saying that, he turned around and locked the door.

Wu Ren and Qiao Shi looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two of them had been traveling around Heilongtan and Yanguan Town for miles around, and visiting any household was an honor for them. This was the first time they had encountered such a cold reception.

Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi froze before they even got out of the carriage.

Qiao wanted to curse, but Wu Ren stopped her.

He still wanted to curry favor with Tong Huaqiong, the local magistrate.

He felt that he and his wife had been too impetuous earlier. Now, his daughter-in-law's aunt was no ordinary peasant woman, but a village lady personally appointed by the emperor. They came up to her and called her "big sister," so of course Tong Dajiao was angry.

They should respectfully address the village head as "Lord".

Wu Ren invited Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi down from the carriage and asked them to knock on the door.

Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi reluctantly knocked on the door.

Tong Huaqiong opened the door, and just as the four people outside were about to speak with smiles, Tong Huaqiong poured a basin of water over their heads.

"Get out of here! Tong Fusheng, I've severed all ties with you. Don't come here again."

Tong Huaqiong's angry outburst attracted the attention of Liu Tielian, the village chief, who was taking a stroll in the village.

When Village Chief Liu saw that it was Tong Huaqiong's brother, Tong Fusheng, he knew that Tong Huaqiong had fallen out with him last time, and now that Tong Huaqiong had become the village head, her family was coming to take advantage of her.

In the spirit of promoting spiritual civilization in Qinghewan, Village Chief Liu would not allow this shameless person to disturb the local customs of Qinghewan, so he called on the young men in the village to chase the person away.

Wu Ren said, "I am the village head of Black Dragon Pool."

Village Chief Liu said, "You are the head of Heilongtan Village. What does this have to do with our Yanguan Town?"

Wu Ren was so angry that he cursed his mother.

The four men were driven out of the village, soaked to the bone, and nearly fainted from the cold when the autumn wind blew through them.

Qiao's old grudge against Tong Pandi and her new grudge against Tong Huaqiong burst together in her chest and poured out on Wang.

Qiao pointed at Wang's nose and scolded, "Look at your eldest aunt, she's a village lady, the emperor must be blind to have given her that title. And your good daughter, I was wondering who Pandi looks like, now I know, she's exactly like her aunt, both smelly and stubborn."

"Look at the good daughters your Tong family has raised. One of them, the aunt and niece, is a jinx who killed her husband, and the other is a barren hen. We are not worthy of your Tong family's daughters. If Pan Di's baby is another girl, you can take her away after she is born, so she won't be an eyesore to me."

Wang was holding back her anger, wanting to retort that the Tong family's daughter had no relation to her surname, Wang.

But she dared not add fuel to the fire for her mother-in-law, fearing that the Wu family would really divorce Pandi.
