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

Tong Zhaodi looked indignant.

Just as my parents said, my sister is selfish. She only cares about her own divorce and doesn't consider the family at all.

Now, not only does she not care about her family, she also complains about her parents and Zhijie.

The Tong family raised this daughter for nothing.

Ungrateful wretch, just like my aunt.

“Sister, your parents gave birth to you and raised you, yet you don’t care about their feelings and instead blame them. You’ve been holding a grudge all last year because your parents made you coax your brother-in-law into paying for Zhijie’s education. What daughter doesn’t think of her brothers? Your parents raised you and accepted fifty taels of silver for marrying you off to the Wu family, isn’t that what they deserve?” Tong Zhaodi defended Tong Fusheng and Wang Shi with great conviction.

Tong Pandi said with exasperation, "Why is it that only daughters think of their brothers' parents, but their brothers' parents don't think of their daughters? Putting aside everything else, look at how Aunt treats Tao Hua. She only sees the bad things about you and not the good things about you."

Of all people to compare her to, she had to choose peach blossoms. Tong Pandi hit a nerve with Tong Zhaodi.

Tong Zhaodi sneered, "No wonder you got divorced, it's all because you compared yourself to Tao Hua. Well, I won't compare myself to Tao Hua. Tao Hua hasn't had a single suitor yet, no man wants her, what's the point of comparing myself to her? Isn't that cursing me?"

"Shut up!" In a fit of anger, Tong Pandi hit Tong Zhaodi twice with the stick she used to stir the pig feed.

Tong Pandi has been staying at Tong Huaqiong's house these past few days, and Gu Taohua has been helping her a lot.

Although this cousin has a fiery temper, she is a very honest person. She treats her older cousin very well, giving her hair ornaments, clothes, and perfume. Even when Liu Yue'e mocks her, Gu Taohua stands up for her and argues with Liu Yue'e.

Tong Pandi wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of Gu Taohua, such a wonderful cousin.

Tong Zhaodi winced in pain and took two steps back.

This older sister, despite her explosive temper since last year, has always been kind and gentle to her younger sister, but now she's even hitting her for Gu Taohua's sake.

Tong Zhaodi couldn't stop herself from saying, "So, sister, why did you change your ways starting last year? It turns out you learned it all from Gu Taohua. Look at the good result of learning from her; you've even lost your man."

Tong Pandi was so angry she was panting, and it took her a lot of effort to calm down.

Tong Pandi said, "Zhaodi, you won't listen to anything I say now. You'll only realize my sincerity when you suffer a setback. You're still young and can't see your parents' intentions. Let me tell you, if you don't listen to me and let your father sell you, your life will be terrible."

Tong Pandi closed her eyes.

In her previous life, Tong Zhaodi married into the prefectural city as a concubine. After giving birth to twins, she became arrogant and domineering, secretly killing the original wife and becoming the official wife.

For Tong Zhijie's future, she gave her stepdaughter, born to his first wife, to an old teacher at Wanliu Academy as a concubine.

Speaking of which, this stepdaughter was later rescued by her cousin's wife, Lu Zhaozhao, and her cousin.

This is also the lingering kindness of Gu Jingzhe in her memory.

Tong Zhijie abused his position under Gu Jingzhe's name, and Tong Zhaodi constantly cleaned up his messes. After Tong Zhijie was imprisoned, Tong Zhaodi was also taken away in shackles, imprisoned, and exiled.

Tong Pandi always felt that the reason Tong Zhaodi was the way she was in her previous life was because of the influence of her parents, and that she hadn't seen through some things.

So is she.

So, given a second chance at life, Tong Pandi not only wants to save herself, but also Tong Zhaodi.

But now Tong Zhaodi won't listen to her at all.

Tong Pandi thought that Tong Zhaodi could only come to her senses if she left the Tong family.

But how can we get Tong Zhaodi to leave the Tong family?
Tong Pandi persisted, saying, "Zhaodi, think about it. How have our parents treated us and Zhijie since we were little? Like you said, girls are supposed to sacrifice for their brothers, but the degree of sacrifice varies. In our village, even if the parents don't like a girl, they'll still help her choose a good husband. They rarely have the idea of ​​selling their daughters. In our family, from me to my aunt, whoever gives Dad the most money gets to decide who she marries. In the past two years, haven't the husbands Dad and your parents chosen for you all been people who can give them money, regardless of their character or age? Zhaodi, as someone who has already died once in the Wu family, I won't harm you. Listen to me, from now on, don't listen to Dad and your parents, and don't be nice to Zhijie. Think of yourself in everything you do."

“If you want to get married, that’s fine too. But don’t choose anyone your parents pick for you. Pick someone who is good to you, who can protect you, and who doesn’t care if you have a divorced sister. Only if you’re not controlled by your parents can you have a peaceful and smooth life.” According to Tong Pandi’s idea, it would be best if Tong Zhaodi could leave the Tong family and move in with her.

If you want to get married in the future, you can just find a son-in-law to live with you.

After spending time with her aunt, she realized that her aunt only had grievances against her parents and Zhijie, and would not implicate her niece who had severed ties with the Tong family.

If Tong Zhaodi were willing to leave the Tong family, her aunt might very well be willing to help her.

Tong Zhaodi is diligent, capable, and intelligent.

As long as she makes a decision, there is a way out.

Tong Zhaodi looked at Tong Pandi in disbelief.

Her father always said that Tong Pandi was possessed by evil spirits, but she didn't believe it.

Now I believe it. If Tong Pandi hadn't been possessed by evil spirits, a normal girl would never have said such outrageous things.

What were Tong Pandi's thoughts on asking her to leave the Tong family?

After leaving the Tong family, how will she find a good husband? Without her own family to support her, how will she establish herself in her husband's family?

Tong Zhaodi felt that her trip had been in vain.

But she still decided to tell Tong Pandi why her parents had sent her there.

Tong Zhaodi said, "I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. My father and mother asked me to ask you a question: do you want to go back to the Wu family? If you are willing to go back, the Wu family will accept you and your two daughters back. If I were you, I would go back. Why would you give up being a proper village head's daughter-in-law and choose to be a divorced woman, making your parents and family lose face and hindering your younger siblings' marriage prospects?"

Tong Pandi's words, no matter how much she tried to persuade him, were in vain.

Tong Zhaodi is completely impervious to reason.

Tong Pandi suppressed her urge to hit someone and said to Tong Zhaodi, "Tell our parents that the divorce papers have been officially certified. I'm not going back to the Wu family. Let them give up on the idea of ​​me going back to the Wu family."

Tong Zhaodi's eyes were icy cold. She spat and said fiercely, "No wonder you made me leave home. You did it on purpose. You wanted to drag me down with you after the divorce."

Enraged, Tong Pandi slammed the pig feed on the ground and pointed at Tong Pandi, yelling, "Get out of here! If you ever come here to persuade me to go back or to say something unpleasant, you'd better not come."

Tong Zhaodi retaliated by kicking the pigpen, startling a sow about to give birth, which squealed loudly.

Upon hearing the news, Cao rushed out to check the situation.

Tong Pandi chased after Tong Zhaodi, carrying a stick used for stirring pig feed.

As she ran, Tong Zhaodi relentlessly provoked Tong Pandi.

"He can't produce a son, so he deserves to be disliked by the Wu family."

"They say it's a divorce, but everyone knows you were dumped by Wu Musheng."

"Let's see which man will want you in the future."

Tong Zhaodi grew up on Tong Pandi's back, and Tong Pandi's feelings for her were no less than those for Duo'er.

Tong Pandi was heartbroken when her beloved younger sister hurt her deeply.

After Tong Zhaodi left, Tong Pandi threw down the stick, squatted down by the wall, and began to sob. (End of Chapter)
