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

Chapter 357 Her Conditions
Upon hearing this, not only did Wu Musheng feel that he had grasped Tong Pandi's true intentions, but Tong Fusheng and the Wang couple also breathed a sigh of relief.

They said when they came that Tong Pandi cares most about her two children, and as long as they can control the two children, Tong Pandi will have no choice but to back down.

Wu Musheng asked with a shameless grin, "What conditions did you state?"

Tong Huaqiong was also curious about the conditions proposed by Tong Pandi.

Tong Pandi said, “I have worked hard for the Wu family for several years, respecting my parents-in-law and serving my sister-in-law. How has your family treated me? My parents-in-law have been harsh on me, my sister-in-law has been disrespectful to me, and my husband not only doesn't side with me but also joins my parents-in-law in bullying and beating me. I have a lot of resentment in my heart. If you want me to go back, you have to let me vent my anger. I can't vent it on my parents-in-law or my sister-in-law, so I can only vent it on you. If you really sincerely want me to go back, then you should kneel down and kowtow to me three times, otherwise you can leave.”

Tong Pandi was extremely angry.

In the moment before her rebirth, she begged Wu Musheng not to let Duo'er become someone's concubine, and Wu Musheng kicked her in the chest.

"Tong Pandi, you..."

Wu Musheng pointed at Tong Pandi with an incredulous look on his face.

Tong Fusheng, Wang Shi, and Zhao Di Tong Zhijie, who was standing to the side, all looked shocked.

Tong Pandi's request is too much.

Tong Huaqiong fanned the flames from the side, saying, "I told you how sincere you are, you can't even kowtow, which shows that you're not sincere at all. If you really kowtow, I, as the village head, will decide to let Pandi go back with you."

Wu Musheng gritted his teeth.

These days, my sister has found a husband for her. He is the cousin of the daughter-in-law of Mr. Qian, the owner of Fenglelou Restaurant in Yanguan Town. He is handsome and talented, and is also the most promising scholar in the clan.

People were not enthusiastic about the marriage because they disliked the lack of scholars in the Wu family.

Wu Ren found out that Boss Qian had moved to the neighborhood next to Tong Huaqiong in Qinghe Bay, so he wanted to use Tong Huaqiong's reputation as a local notable to propose marriage.

Therefore, when Wu Musheng was about to arrive, Wu Ren told him that he had to coax Tong Pandi back no matter what. Only if Tong Pandi returned could their family have the connection of the village lord, and only then could his sister find a good marriage.

Wu Musheng knelt down in Tong Huaqiong's courtyard with a thud and kowtowed three times to Tong Pandi.

After their initial shock, Tong Fusheng and his wife smiled with relief. The Wu family clearly valued Pan Di; what reason did Pan Di have not to return?

Tong Huaqiong smiled. Wu Musheng was so straightforward; she should have made him kowtow five times already.

Wu Musheng raised his head, his forehead covered in snow, and said to Tong Pandi, "Pandi, come back with me."

Wu Musheng was filled with hatred. He had his own plans. He hoped that his younger brother would go back with her today, and tomorrow he would open the ancestral hall and demote her to a concubine.

The torment she was in was yet to come.

Tong Pandi smiled, her smile shining brightly in the dazzling sunlight.

What's so special about kowtowing three times? Can Wu Musheng ever repay the debt he owed her in his past life?

She said, "I will go back. I will go back tomorrow to divorce you."

Wu Musheng's eyes widened, and he roared, "Pan Di, you son of a bitch, are you playing me?"

Tong Fusheng also joined in with a barrage of insults.

Tong Pandi looked at Wu Musheng and said, "I said I was going back to the Wu family, but I didn't say I was going back to live with you. I'm going back to the Wu family to get a divorce."

Wu Musheng gritted his teeth, stood up, and waved his fist at Tong Pandi.

Tong Huaqiong, who had been watching closely, grabbed a stick and swung it at Wu Musheng. Before Wu Musheng could even touch Tong Pandi, he fell to the ground face-first into the mud.

Su Chengmin, who appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Wu Musheng and rubbed his face against the ground.

When Wu Musheng looked up again, his face resembled that of someone who had opened a soy sauce shop. Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hong and Chen Su-fen, who were watching the commotion from the window, also laughed.

Tong Fusheng pointed at Tong Pandi and angrily cursed, "What a misfortune for my family! What a misfortune for my family! How could I have raised such a good daughter as you?"

Tong Pandi spat at Tong Fusheng's feet and said, "From now on, I am no longer a daughter of the Tong family."

Wang couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing, her target being Tong Huaqiong.

She felt that Tong Huaqiong had instigated her daughter's divorce.

Tong Huaqiong was too lazy to argue with her, so she said to Su Chengmin, "Laifu, splash water."

Su Chengmin carried out two large buckets of water, intending to splash them at Wang and the others.

Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi were so frightened that they fled outside as if their lives depended on it.

If you get splashed with cold water in winter, you'll almost die.

After the commotion subsided, Tong Huaqiong's courtyard returned to tranquility.

When Tong Pandi returned to the house and saw Duo'er and Hua'er, her heart was filled with even more hatred for the Wu family.

“Wu Musheng even begged me to go back. He didn’t even ask about Duo’er and Hua’er. He has no heart.” Tong Pandi returned to the house, picked up her daughter from Hong’s arms, and showed a face full of hatred.

Although he had long seen through Wu Musheng, he was still very disappointed.

Duo'er said with a frightened look, "Mother, do you really want to go back? Duo'er doesn't want to go back."

Tong Huaqiong said, "If your mother doesn't go back, Duo'er won't go back either. Does Duo'er like it here?"

Duo'er nodded vigorously and said, "Duo'er likes it here, likes her great-aunt, likes her cousin, likes Grandma Hong, likes her cousin's wife, and likes Sister Man'er. Duo'er doesn't like her father."

The next day, the sky cleared, but it was still very cold despite the sunshine.

Tong Huaqiong, Tong Pandi, and others set off for Heilongtan Town early in the morning.

To prevent the Wu family from causing trouble, Tong Huaqiong reported the matter to the authorities, and this time, the official in charge was still Jiao, the yamen runner.

The Wu family opened an ancestral hall.

Tong Huaqiong, Gu Jingzhe, and Su Fuzi sat with Tong Pandi on one side, while Wu Ren's family, the Wu family patriarch, and several elders from the clan sat opposite them.

Wu Musheng's eyes were bloodshot; the swelling from the fall he sustained at Tong Huaqiong's home yesterday had worsened overnight.

Qiao wished she could scratch Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandi's faces.

"Why didn't you bring the child? Mu Sheng's wife, if you're leaving the Wu family, the child should stay and bear the Wu surname." The Wu family patriarch first stood up and curtsied to Tong Huaqiong and Master Su, then glanced at Tong Pandi and began to reprimand her.

Tong Pandi decided not to be polite to anyone in the Wu family.

At this moment, the Wu family patriarch came out and started talking about his two daughters. In his previous life, Duo'er was to be given away by Wu Musheng and his adopted son to be a concubine. She went to beg the patriarch, who said that she was just a worthless girl and should be used as a stepping stone for the family brothers.

Tong Pandi said, "Should I stay in the Wu family as a stepping stone for my brothers in the clan? My condition for divorce is that I must take my daughter with me."

The clan chief was nearly killed by those words, and said, "As the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. There's no need for you and Musheng to go to the point of divorce. You have food and drink in the Wu family and have given birth to two daughters. The clan sees no reason for you to divorce."

Tong Pandi said, "It's not that there are no reasons for divorce, it's just that the clan leader pretends not to see them. Clan leader, let me ask you, I was forced to serve the whole family by my in-laws before I even finished my postpartum confinement. When Duo'er had a fever and cried until she couldn't breathe, I begged Musheng, but he refused to get her any medicine. When I served my sister-in-law some rice and it was a little too hot, she slapped me, and the whole family said it was a good thing. Musheng goes to brothels every few days, and my in-laws not only don't care but also give him money. I've lived in this Wu family for five years. Tell me, which one of these isn't a reason for me to divorce?"

"Not to mention that when I gave birth to Hua'er, Wu Ren and his wife, along with Wu Musheng, had the midwife Ma take the opportunity to kill me. If it weren't for my aunt protecting me, my youngest daughter and I would have been dead long ago. Isn't that a reason for me to get a divorce?"
