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

Chapter 626 Turtle vs. Green Bean

Tong Zhaodi didn't care about Wu Na's sour face.

He said, "When your brother came to my house, my parents got Tong Pandi drunk, and then put Tong Pandi and your brother on the same bed. Tong Zhijie attracted the whole village to watch, and that's how Tong Pandi had to get married whether she wanted to or not."

Wu Na's face turned pale, and she said, "You want me to be like Tong Pandi? Exposing myself to others in such a shameful way is worse than death."

Tong Zhaodi said, "How could I let you learn from Tong Pandi? I'm using her as an example to tell you what women care about most? It's reputation. As long as you use your reputation to blackmail Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, they'll have to agree to let you marry into the Gu family."

Wu Na thought for a moment and said, "Then what should I do?"

Tong Zhaodi said, "You just want to marry Gu Ruinian. You'll be his sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. You know what 'rolling in a haystack' means, right?"

Wu Na hesitated.

Tong Zhaodi added fuel to the fire, saying, "I've heard about this in Qinghe Bay. Gu Youtian plans to have Gu Ruinian marry into his family. Just think about it, you can count the number of men in the entire Pingchuan who are willing to do so on one hand. If you hesitate, Gu Ruinian might really end up marrying into your family."

"Anyway, you won't marry anyone but Gu Ruinian, so what's the difference between you two getting together sooner or later?"

Then Tong Zhaodi explained the reasons to Wu Na in detail, eventually convincing Wu Na completely.

After that, under Tong Zhaodi's cover, Wu Na came to Qinghewan twice more.

As December arrived, Tong Huaqiong received a wedding invitation from the old family home and learned that Gu Ruinian was getting married.

"Who would still want to marry Gu Ruinian?"

Tong Huaqiong was in the weaving workshop, watching the weavers do batik.

Suddenly receiving the news that Gu Ruinian was getting married made me realize that I hadn't paid attention to news about the old house for a long time.

She thought to herself that it was probably some unlucky and pitiful Zhao Di who had to take over Gu Ruinian's mess.

"It's Wu Na."

Wei, the eldest nephew's wife who had become a full-time employee at the weaving workshop, shook her head and sighed.

Wu Na?

Tong Pandi's former sister-in-law.

What a perfect circle this is!

Tong Huaqiong blurted out, "Wu Na is no pushover, and Gu Ruinian is full of scheming. These two are like a pair of peas in a pod, they've fallen for each other."

Madam Wei said, "Auntie, you probably don't know yet. Wu Na came to Qinghe Bay to look for Ruinian three times, and then she got pregnant. Wu Ren brought some people to our house and smashed everything up. If my mother-in-law hadn't stopped them, they would have broken Ruinian's other leg too."

Wei ate this melon from beginning to end.

Wei was glad that the family had separated, otherwise her family would have been implicated. Not to mention, she would have had to pay for her brother-in-law's wedding banquet.
Grandpa Gu really did set his sights on her and Gu Fengnian. This time, he didn't let her show up, and Gu Fengnian gave him a piece of his mind.

Just like the gossip in the Wei family, Tong Zhaodi covered for Wu Na, and Jia and others were happy to see it happen. Before long, Wu Na and Gu Ruinian had sex, and Wu Na became pregnant.

When Wu Ren learned that Wu Na had run to Qinghe Bay to see Gu Ruinian, he would have divorced Tong Zhaodi, who had instigated Wu Na, if Wu Musheng hadn't already divorced her once.

After the incident was exposed, Wu Ren locked Wu Na up and led a group of people to the Gu family's old house, where they beat and scolded her.

Gu Ruinian remained silent, which was unusual for him.

The Wu family began arranging a marriage for Wu Na, arranging a match with a family in Pingchuan. On the day of the engagement, Wu Na fainted, and a doctor diagnosed her as pregnant. The marriage fell through, and the Wu family panicked.

The man couldn't swallow his anger at becoming a father unexpectedly, so he started spreading the news after leaving the Wu family home, and the whole Black Dragon Pool knew that Wu Na was pregnant.

Terrified, Wu Ren rushed to the Gu family's old house that very night to negotiate. At this time, Gu Youtian and his wife Jia refused to acknowledge the marriage and refused to agree to Wu Na marrying Gu Ruinian.

In the end, the Wu family compromised, giving Wu Na ten acres of fertile land and five hundred taels of silver, before Gu Youtian agreed to let the two families become related by marriage.

The Wu family suffered such a huge loss that they could only endure it, fearing that the Gu family might renege on the marriage at any moment.

Gu Ruinian did not utter a word from beginning to end.

When Wu Na learned that she could marry Gu Ruinian, she was so happy that she cried tears of joy. Following Gu Ruinian's instructions, she asked Wu Ren for an extra shop and dowry, otherwise she would never return to her parents' home after the marriage. This made Wu Ren and his wife so angry that they wished Wu Na could be turned into a piece of barbecued pork.

Finally, instigated by Tong Zhaodi, a disheartened Wu Ren made a drastic decision: he would not give her the five hundred taels of silver dowry, but only ten acres of fertile land.

Of course, this was kept from Wu Na and the Gu family.

They planned to give the Gu family a surprise after their marriage.

Madam Wei, of course, was unaware that the Wu family had already reduced the dowry. She said to Tong Huaqiong, "I never expected Wu Na to be so foolish. With this dowry from the Wu family, she could marry anyone but my second brother. In the end, it's all my second brother's scheming. He clearly doesn't like the girl, yet he still plots against her. Just you wait and see, once Wu Na comes to her senses after marrying in, there will be a huge scene."

He added, "Now the whole family is praising my second brother. Isn't he a great hero of the family for getting the silly girl to give away ten acres of fertile land and five hundred taels of silver as dowry? Even Grandma has been giving him a good look lately, and she often boasts that my Ruinian is amazing. He can marry the village head's daughter with a dowry of five hundred taels without spending a single penny."

While Wei was complaining about Old Madam Gu and others at the weaving workshop, Old Madam Gu was bragging to Gu Ruinian's marriage to her second aunt who was passing by.

"You'll all come to the wedding feast then. Ruinian quietly snagged a good marriage. I never expected him to marry the girl from the village head of Heilongtan, and without spending a penny. But the girl said she wouldn't marry anyone but Ruinian. The village head's family is wealthy and dotes on his daughter. In addition to giving her ten acres of fertile land, they also gave her five hundred taels of silver as a dowry."

Old Mrs. Gu had already planned everything out: two mu of the ten mu of fertile land would be given to Gu Honglian as her dowry, two hundred taels of the five hundred taels of silver would be given to Gu Youtian as capital, and the remaining three hundred taels would be enough for the whole family to live on.

Wu Na may have a fiery temper, but Gu Ruinian can keep her in check.

So what if Wu Na is a little ugly? Anyway, she's not a girl I paid to marry, so what's there to complain about?

Aunt Gu didn't believe anyone would take advantage of Gu Ruinian, so she kindly reminded Old Madam Gu and the others not to be fooled.

Grandma Gu said, "The girl's father is Wu Ren, the village head of Heilongtan. He used to do business with You Tian. Although the two later parted ways, it didn't affect the girl's affection for Ruinian. That girl has a slim waist and a big bottom, and you can tell she's good at bearing sons. I think she's much better than that girl Xinghua."

While praising Wu Na, Grandma Gu didn't forget to put down Xu Xinghua.

She really wanted to go to the Xu family's doorstep to show off. Her grandson didn't care about marrying into the family; the village head's daughter would come with her dowry to marry him.

Aunt Gu's lips twitched when she saw her sister-in-law's overjoyed expression.

Wu Ren, the village head of Heilongtan, isn't that Tong Pandi's former in-laws' house?

What kind of good family would force their daughter-in-law to divorce?

She had heard that Tong Pandi's former sister-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.

Aunt Gu seemed to see a near future where chaos would erupt every day at the Gu family's old house.

But this has nothing to do with her. Gu Ruinian isn't a good person. It's said that a girl from a good family might ruin her life.

Gu Ruinian sat inside the house, listening to his grandmother sitting at the door, constantly bragging to passersby about his marriage, and felt an indescribable sense of pride.
