Chapter 650 is all thanks to my aunt.

News of Tong Pandi's remarriage reached the Tong family.

Tong Fusheng and Wang initially thought it was fake news, but when they confirmed it was true, they were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

What the couple couldn't understand was why Master Su, a respected teacher, would marry a divorced woman.

If Master Su wanted to get married, I'm afraid many families in the Black Dragon Pool area of ​​Yanguan Town would be willing to give him their daughters. Why did he take a fancy to Tong Pandi?
They never expected that Tong Pandi, who had made them feel so ashamed, would marry better and better.

In contrast, after Tong Zhaodi married into the Wu family, the village head was dismissed, which was a complete waste of a daughter.

Despite no longer acknowledging Tong Pandi as his daughter, Tong Fusheng still happily drank two jin of liquor to celebrate.

When his daughter got divorced, the villagers gossiped about him. Now he's eager to spread the news of Tong Pandi marrying Su Fuzi throughout the village.

He regretted saying such harsh words to Tong Pandi back then. It would have been better if Tong Pandi had taken Su Fuzi back to the Tong family to visit her maternal home.

"Pan Di really has some skill; she managed to win over Master Su and get him to marry her," Wang Shi couldn't help but sigh, feeling proud of herself.

She then said angrily, "You brat, she remarried without telling us. Even if she's divorced, shouldn't she still abide by her parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words when she remarries? Shouldn't she be able to leave from her parents' home for her wedding?"

Tong Fusheng pondered for a moment and said, "This marriage should have been arranged by her aunt. My sister is running such a big business now, and she was the top scholar in the imperial examination on the day of Jingzhe. How many people would be willing to marry into the Gu family? The Gu family only has one Tao Hua, so they have their eyes on Pan Di. Even if Pan Di has been divorced once, or even if she has been divorced multiple times, there would still be people willing to marry her."

Wang was unhappy that Tong Fusheng attributed the credit for Pandi's remarriage to Tong Huaqiong. She pouted and said, "I don't know if your good sister found a good husband for her. I only know that she instigated Tong Pandi to disown her parents."

Tong Fusheng thought for a moment and said, "You were right about something earlier. Even if you divorce and remarry, you should still follow the wishes of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. As a teacher, Master Su knows a lot of principles, so he will definitely not agree to Tong Pandi severing ties with us. Otherwise, how can he teach his students? Let's go to Qinghe Bay in a few days to meet our new son-in-law."

Wang nodded.

Since Tong Pandi has remarried, it has saved face for the Tong family. They can be forgiven and their relationship can be restored.

The couple discussed going to Qinghe Bay and bringing Tong Zhijie along, planning to have Master Su teach Tong Zhijie to read.

If he could teach Gu Jingzhe, he might be able to teach the Tong family a scholar who passed the imperial examination.

The couple became happier and happier as they talked. Seeing that Tong Pandi had remarried so well, Tong Fusheng even considered having Tong Zhaodi divorce Wu Musheng as well.

Since the Wu family has already fallen and can no longer bring any value to the Tong family, it would be better to let Tong Zhaodi divorce and remarry an old widower in the prefectural city or an old wealthy man who wants a son.

Wang hesitated and asked, "Is Zhaodi pregnant?"

Tong Fusheng said, "What do you know? Pan Di also has two children, both daughters, and she can remarry. Zhao Di's pregnancy means she can have children, and it would be even better if she could have a son. It means she will have a son. After she gives birth, we can divorce and I will remarry her to a wealthy family in the prefectural city as a concubine. Those rich people who want offspring don't care about divorce, as long as they can have children."

"Besides, Zhao Di is even prettier than Pan Di. She was chosen at first sight by a wealthy old man in the prefecture. Marrying Wu Musheng was a wrong move on our part. Who would have thought that Wu Ren would be so useless?"

Wang listened to her husband in everything. After listening to Tong Fusheng's analysis, she felt that it was feasible for Tong Zhaodi to divorce and remarry, which was better than staying in the Wu family.

After visiting Tong Pandi, the couple persuaded Tong Zhaodi to give birth, divorce, and remarry.

After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Tong Huaqiong's shop and weaving workshop opened for business.

Due to the booming sales of cotton fabric, the weaving workshop has expanded and will recruit a new batch of weavers after the New Year.

Tong Huaqiong handed over the recruitment work to Song Qiaoniang and Gu Xiaoxue, with the head maid Su Qing assisting from the side.

She then worked with the textile dyeing workers to develop new textile dyeing methods.

While Tong Huaqiong was busy at the weaving workshop, she was unaware that her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew had arrived at Qinghe Bay.

Tong Fusheng and Wang took Tong Zhijie to Qinghewan to visit Tong Pandi.

"Father, Mother, look, this is Aunt's weaving workshop." As they passed the workshop, the three stopped, and Tong Zhijie pointed to the plaque above the entrance. Tong Fusheng looked up and saw the four large characters "Tong Family Weaving Workshop".

How did his relationship with the girl become so strained? If it were before, the Tong family's weaving workshop would have been his.

"Good heavens, such a big weaving workshop! So many people inside!" Wang exclaimed as she looked through the gate at the busy figures inside, a bitter feeling rising in her heart.

My sister-in-law is becoming more and more capable.

She had previously heard from Tong Zhaodi that Tong Huaqiong had opened a weaving workshop in Qinghewan, but she thought it would only have two looms at most.

Judging from the current situation, there are at least a dozen machines inside. How much money must such a large weaving workshop make in a year?

Since it's called the Tong Family Weaving Workshop, half of the money belongs to the Tong family. The younger sister-in-law is so heartless, opening a weaving workshop under the Tong family's name but not giving the Tong family a single penny.

Tong Pandi followed her bad example.

Tong Pandi used to love Zhijie so much, but now she probably wouldn't shed a single tear even if Zhijie died in front of her.

Tong Fusheng whispered to Wang Shi, "We're mainly here today to see our daughter and son-in-law. If we can appease our son-in-law, we won't be short of money later."

Wang smiled.

Just because Master Su was Gu Jingzhe's teacher, Master Su was able to speak up for Tong Huaqiong.

The respected Master Su would certainly not accept that Tong Huaqiong had severed ties with her brother and sister-in-law. With Master Su mediating between them, Tong Huaqiong would eventually reconcile with them.

Even if we make up, I still won't give them money to spend.

If you don't appreciate kindness, then you're being ungrateful.

Tong Fusheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Then don't worry about him spreading rumors that Gu Jingzhe disrespected the Master. If his reputation is ruined, how can he become an official?
Tong Zhijie said, "Father, have my brother-in-law tell Aunt that I want to come and be the manager of the weaving workshop."

Tong Zhijie saw that there were many young and beautiful girls in the weaving workshop. If he entered the workshop as a manager, and since he was the owner's nephew and the young master, there would be no difference. Wouldn't he be able to marry whichever girl he liked in the future?

Tong Fusheng said with a stern face, "Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, no matter how rich a merchant is, he can never be considered respectable. You need to broaden your horizons. I brought you to Qinghewan to study with your brother-in-law, not to do business with your aunt."

Tong Zhijie rolled his eyes.

He didn't want to read at all.

However, he was happy at the thought of studying in Qinghewan and having money to spend with his brother-in-law's back.

The three left the entrance of the weaving workshop, stopped one of them and asked where Tong Pandi lived, and learned that he lived in Tong Huaqiong's old courtyard.

The three of them walked toward the old courtyard.

"Did you bring the secret formula for conceiving a child?" Tong Fusheng asked.

Madam Wang patted the pocket at her waist and said, "I brought it with me. I'm not worried that this secret formula for conceiving a son won't impress my daughter and son-in-law."

Wang was holding a recipe for conceiving a child. This secret recipe for conceiving a child was bought for Tong Zhaodi by Qiao Shi at a high price before Wu Ren was dismissed from his post as village head.

Now the Wang family has taken it.

Wang thought that Su Fuzi and Tong Pandi would definitely want a son after they got married. Tong Pandi was useless, only having daughters in her belly. This secret recipe for having a son would definitely please Su Fuzi and Tong Pandi.

Wang was confident that she could use her secret formula for conceiving a child to control Tong Pandi.
