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

Chapter 356 Candied Haws
After discussing Tong Pandi's plans, everyone started talking about going to the Wu family at Black Dragon Pool the next day.

Tong Huaqiong will definitely go with him. Su Chengmin has to go to class and can't go, but Gu Jingzhe has a day off from school and plans to go with him.

In addition, Gu Jingzhe also invited Master Su to come forward.

According to Gu Jingzhe, Master Su was the most respected master in Yanguan Town and Heilongtan area. With his help, they could persuade the Wu family patriarch and other members of the family to agree to Tong Pandi's divorce as soon as possible.

After all, dragging it out would not benefit Tong Pandi.

Tong Huaqiong agreed because she thought Gu Jingzhe's words made sense.

"What's going on outside? It smells so sweet. Is someone making syrup?" Tong Huaqiong sniffed and asked.

“Several children wanted to eat candied hawthorns, and Laifu was making them,” Chen Sufeng said.

"The candied hawthorns are here."

Su Chengmin brought Gu Yaozu over candied hawthorns.

Today the private school is closed, and the children want to eat candied hawthorns. Su Chengmin said he could make candied hawthorns, so he took hawthorns and white sugar and started making them.

After fiddling around for most of the day, the candied hawthorns were finally done.

Su Chengmin also made a bundle of straw and stuck the candied hawthorns one by one into it.

Man'er and Xiaolong cheered when they saw the bright red candied hawthorns.

Tong Huaqiong was also attracted by the candied hawthorns and asked Man'er, Xiaolong, and the other children which skewer they liked, and she took it off for them.

Man'er, Xiaolong, and Yaozu all chose the string they liked best.

Several children happily held up their candied hawthorns and took bites.

Tong Huaqiong asked the timid Duo'er, who was hesitant to step forward, "Duo'er, which string of skewers have you taken a fancy to?"

Duo'er swallowed hard and said, "I want this one."

He pointed to the smallest bunch of hawthorns.

Tong Huaqiong picked and chose, then picked a large bunch and handed it to Duo'er.

Duo'er was still hesitant to accept.

Tong Huaqiong said gently, "Take it and eat it."

Duo'er is a year younger than Man'er. Although she has become bolder at Tong Huaqiong's house these days, she is still timid most of the time.

"Duo'er, your great-aunt gave this to you, why don't you say thank you?" Tong Pandi said to Duo'er.

Duo'er only dared to reach out to take it after Tong Pandi spoke.

Tong Pandi witnessed all of this.

Duo'er was raised to be too timid in the Wu family. In the end, it was because her mother didn't protect her in the past and always thought that girls should grow up like this.

She acted this way in the Tong family, and she acted the same way in the Wu family.

She was terribly harmed by this kind of thinking in her past life, and so was Duo'er.

In the year since her rebirth, although she tried her best to brainwash Duo'er into believing that she was her mother's precious darling, the influence of the Wu family's environment was too strong, causing Duo'er to remain timid.

After leaving the Wu family's environment, I hope Duo'er can become as lively as Man'er.

“Man’er is studying at the private school. Should we let Duo’er go too, so she can keep Man’er company?” Tong Huaqiong asked Tong Pan’er.

“Aunt, it’s not appropriate for Duo’er to go to the private school yet,” Tong Pan’s brother said.

“Alright, let’s wait until it’s appropriate for her to go.” Tong Huaqiong didn’t try to persuade her otherwise.

Duo'er is indeed not suitable for a private school. Firstly, she hasn't started her education yet and can't keep up with the pace. Secondly, her timid and cowardly personality means she might be bullied at a private school and develop a dislike for learning.

However, Duo'er can learn to read with Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e.

Tong Huaqiong still believes that even for girls in this era, being literate is better than being illiterate.

“These candied hawthorns shouldn’t be just for the kids; we should have some too.” Tong Huaqiong took a bite of the candied hawthorn and invited Hong Shi, Chen Sufeng, and the others to eat with her. So everyone ate the candied hawthorns while chatting.

The door creaked open, and Tong Huaqiong looked out through the window.

Five people walked in.

It was Tong Fusheng's family and Wu Musheng who arrived.

It goes without saying that they came for Tong Pandi.

Tong Huaqiong placed the half-eaten candied hawthorn on the plate and said to Tong Pandi, "Pandi, your parents and Wu Musheng are here."

Tong Pandi said, "Let them do what they want, I'm going to get a divorce anyway."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Alright, you deal with them. I'm afraid if I do, they'll think that the divorce wasn't your intention and they'll keep bothering you."

Tong Huaqiong also wanted to see if Tong Pandi could withstand the pressure from her parents.

Tong Pandi stood up, handed the child to Hong Shi to hold, and then walked out.

Tong Huaqiong followed and stood under the eaves.

Wu Musheng's eyes lit up when he saw Tong Pandi.

Tong Pandi had a good postpartum period at Tong Huaqiong's house, her life was smooth, and her whole demeanor was relaxed.

She was naturally beautiful, and dressed in brand-new clothes, she possessed a unique charm in Wu Musheng's eyes.

That look disgusted Tong Pandi.

She thought back to the day she met Wu Musheng. She went to the market in Heilongtan, and Wu Musheng saw her in the crowd. It was that look in his eyes.

In her past life, that look in her eyes made her mistakenly believe she had met the right person.

Tong Pandi only regretted that she hadn't been reborn at the moment she met Wu Musheng; she would have definitely gouged out his eyes.

When Tong Fusheng and Wang saw Tong Pandi, they wanted to start cursing, but thinking of everything that had happened to Tong Pandi over the past year and Tong Huaqiong beside her, they suppressed their anger.

"Pan Di".

"Pan Di".

Tong Pandi asked coldly, "What are you doing at your aunt's house? You're not welcome here."

Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi looked embarrassed.

Wu Musheng called out, "Brother Pan, I've come to take you home."

Tong Pandi spat and said, "I've already made it clear to you that we want a divorce."

Before Wu Musheng could speak, Tong Fu angrily said, "Brother Pan, what divorce are you talking about? My Tong family has no divorced women."

Tong Pandi said, "Do you think I want to be a daughter of the Tong family? Since Father has said so, then I will no longer be a daughter of the Tong family."

Tong Fu was so angry he wanted to hit someone. If Tong Huaqiong hadn't been standing by, he would have beaten Tong Pandi, that unfilial daughter, to death long ago.

It's so shameful! Tong Fusheng, a respectable scholar, has a divorced woman in his family. How can he ever hold his head up again?

Wang said from the side, "His father, Musheng, you two should talk to Tongpan properly and tell him not to be impulsive. Panpan, Musheng is here to apologize to you. Um, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk slowly."

Tong Huaqiong glanced sideways at Wang Shi.

This cheap sister-in-law has already been kicked out by Tong Huaqiong twice. What kind of confidence supports her in thinking that she can finally enter Tong Huaqiong's house this time?

Tong Pandi said coldly, "Mother, this is Aunt's house. Aunt kindly took me in, and I can't take advantage of that and let you in. Let's talk here. Actually, there's not much to say. It's just that they don't want me to get a divorce. Your persuasion is useless. I've made up my mind to get a divorce."

Tong Pandi's stubbornness left Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi at a loss.

Wu Musheng said, "You are still my Wu family's daughter-in-law. If I don't agree to a divorce, you can't get one. We also have two daughters. If you don't think about others, you should at least think about your two daughters. If you leave the Wu family, you will never see your two daughters again in this lifetime."

The shameless Wu Musheng didn't care about his two daughters at all, but that didn't stop him from using them to threaten Tong Pandi.

Tong Pandi felt a surge of annoyance as she looked at Wu Musheng. Suddenly, she had a urge to tease him. Her expression changed several times, and after hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "You reminded me that I have two daughters. I have to think about them. I can go back, but I have conditions."
