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

Chapter 485 Children are a mother's Achilles' heel
"What's wrong?"

Tong Pandi returned to Jufulai and went straight to the second floor.

"Why are you back so early?"

Tong Huaqiong scrutinized Tong Pandi, wondering who had angered her, and guessed that it was someone from the Wu family.

Wu Ji is right across the street; the chances of running into him are high.

Tong Huaqiong had seen the way Wu Musheng looked at Tong Pandi last time, and she was afraid that Wu Musheng would cause trouble for Tong Pandi.

"Has the Wu family caused you trouble?"

As she spoke, Tong Huaqiong was about to call Nie Xiaofeng and Su Chengmin to Wu Ji to avenge Tong Pandi. If the Wu family dared to bully Tong Pandi, she would definitely make Wu Ji go bankrupt immediately.

Tong Pandi quickly calmed down in front of her aunt.

My aunt was still the same formidable aunt; she immediately noticed that the Wu family was causing her trouble.

My aunt is already so tired from running the supermarket, so I mustn't let her worry about my affairs, especially since I didn't lose the battle against the Wu family, and I can't let her confront the Wu family over this.

"Aunt, don't worry. I ran into Wu Musheng and Wu Na, but they didn't really cause me any trouble. On the contrary, I turned the tables on them."

Tong Pandi then told Tong Huaqiong about her encounter with Wu Musheng and Wu Na that day.

Tong Huaqiong was pleased with Tong Pandi's quick action and resourcefulness.

At the same time, I felt that Wu Musheng would definitely not let this go.

“I think Wu Musheng will come looking for you again. If he comes to cause you trouble these days, it’s fine if you can handle it yourself. But if you can’t, be sure to tell everyone.” Tong Huaqiong instructed Tong Pandi, and after thinking for a moment, she added, “Hua’er Duo’er will be here this evening. Don’t let the two children see the Wu family.”

"Hua'er Duo'er and the others never wanted her in the first place." Tong Pandi felt that the Wu family wanted to stay as far away from Hua'er Duo'er as possible, and similarly, Hua'er Duo'er had no feelings for the Wu family.

Tong Huaqiong said, "It is precisely because they have no feelings for the flowers that we should be wary of them using the flowers to make things difficult for you."

Tong Pandi realized what Tong Huaqiong was worried about.

Children are a mother's Achilles' heel.

Tong Huaqiong said, "I'm just reminding you to be careful, but there's no need to be afraid. If the Wu family really does that, I won't let them off the hook. The shop is back on track these days. After Hua'er and Duo'er arrive in the evening, you don't need to come to the shop anymore. If you want to take them out for a stroll, have Tao Hua and Xiao Feng accompany them."

Tong Pandi looked very grateful.

My aunt's arrangements were very thoughtful.

After being kicked by Tong Pandi, Wu Musheng became even more determined to win her over and vowed to bring her back to the Wu family.

At Wu Ren's request, Wu Musheng took control of the ledgers and bookkeeping.

Anyway, Wu Ji's business has never been good. Wu Musheng sat in front of the counter with the account book in his hand, but his eyes kept looking in the direction of Jufulai.

He didn't pay attention to Jufulai's business, but instead looked for Tong Pandi with his eyes.

Tong Pandi hasn't appeared in the last two days.

During dinner that evening, Wu Ren scolded Wu Musheng, complaining that Wu Musheng was not attentive to business and always made mistakes in accounting. He said that if this continued, the account books would eventually end up in Gu Ruinian's hands.

Although Wu Ren liked Gu Ruinian and intended to marry his daughter Wu Na to Gu Ruinian, he could still distinguish between outsiders and family when it came to business.

The business should naturally be handed over entirely to the son. Even if Gu Ruinian becomes the son-in-law, he will only be Wu Musheng's assistant.

"Can't you learn from Ruinian and pay more attention to the shop? You think I opened this shop to do business with the Gu family? I opened it so you'd have a livelihood. The shop has been open for almost a month and you haven't even figured out the accounts." Wu Ren scolded Wu Musheng in a low voice, afraid that Gu Youtian and Gu Ruinian would hear him.

The Wu and Gu families have always eaten separately. Qiao complained that Gu Honglian ate too much while Gu Ruinian ate alone, and that the good meat and vegetables they bought were all going into other people's stomachs. Therefore, after eating with the Gu family for two days, they separated and ate separately, which made Gu Youtian very dissatisfied. He implied that Wu Ren was wary of him.

Wu Ren also wanted Gu Youtian and his son Gu Ruinian to run the shop and make money, so the whole family was afraid that the Gu family would hear them talking about eating well behind the Gu family's back.

Wu Musheng was very unhappy after being scolded by his own father.

What's so great about Gu Ruinian? He's just a failed scholar who tried to make a name for himself in the shop, but he still couldn't bring Wu Ji's business up to the same level as Ju Fu Lai.

Wu Na sneered from the side, "How can brother be in the mood to run the shop? His soul has been bewitched by Tong Pandi. He got kicked by Tong Pandi the other day. If you ask me, brother is too weak. He should have slapped her across the face and see if she would dare to do it again."

Wu Na knew what was on Wu Musheng's mind, and she was unhappy that her brother was thinking about Tong Pandi.

After hearing Wu Na's words, Qiao asked Wu Musheng, "Is what Nana said true?"

Wu Musheng nodded.

Qiao started cursing Tong Pandi with foul language.

"Shameless little whore, shouldn't a divorced person stay at home obediently? Why did she have to dress up and run to Pingchuan County?"

He bewitched his son so much that he lost his mind.

They've been divorced for so long, and he's tried to arrange marriages with many people, but none of them would agree to it.

When asked, the answer was that she wasn't as good-looking as Tong Pandi.

He then cursed Wu Musheng: "You shallow-minded thing, what's so good about Tong Pandi? She's a divorced woman, but she just dressed up a little and she stole your heart, making you eager to be kicked to the curb."

After much arguing, they realized the root of the problem lay with Tong Pandi, suspecting that she deliberately came to Pingchuan County to seduce Wu Musheng after learning that Wu Ji was located opposite Jufulai.

Who would want a divorced woman? It's better to stick with someone you know than someone new. She must be looking for a new partner and wants to go back to the Wu family. Right now, she's kicking and cursing Wu Musheng in order to get back to the Wu family and put on airs. Unfortunately, her son is stupid and fell for Tong Pandi's trick.

“Tong Pandi is a troublemaker. She’s deliberately trying to seduce you. The more you pursue her, the more coy she becomes,” Qiao said.

According to Qiao's idea, Tong Pandi should kneel at the Wu family's door, weeping and begging the Wu family to take her in and forgive her. Maybe then she would be willing to give Tong Pandi a place to stay.

Hearing Qiao scold Tong Pandi and herself, Wu Musheng said to Qiao, "Mother, if I want Tong Pandi to come back, will you and Father agree?"

Wu Ren said, "A divorced woman is not worthy of entering the Wu family. If you want, there are countless girls in Black Dragon Pool who would be willing to marry into the Wu family and become daughters-in-law. Which one of them is not better than Tong Pandi?"

Qiao's eyes darted around, and she sneered, "If Tong Pan wants to enter our family, she can only be a concubine."

After Tong Pandi's divorce, Qiao would hate Tong Pandi so much that she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood whenever she mentioned him.

She regrets in her dreams that she didn't teach Tong Pandi a lesson in the past.

Qiao's eyes lit up. There was a chance to hone their skills, namely, when Tong Pandi rejoined the Wu family.

It's absolutely unacceptable for her to be her daughter-in-law, but being her a concubine is acceptable.

Wu Musheng and Qiao Shi thought the same thing, and said, "Father, Mother and I think the same thing. Pan Di can only be a concubine when she rejoins the Wu family. Let me tell you the truth, I really love Tong Pan Di's appearance. I can't bear the thought of Tong Pan Di marrying someone else. She is not worthy to be the wife of the Wu family. I want to coax her back to be my concubine."

Wu Ren said, "You've forgotten how she used to bully everyone in our family."

Unlike Wu Ren, Qiao was very satisfied with her son's idea. Since Tong Pandi's beauty was affecting her son's marriage prospects, she decided to bring Tong Pandi back as a concubine and then marry another wife.

Why didn't she think of demoting Tong Pandi to a concubine before, thus letting her get a divorce and run away for nothing?
