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

Chapter 656 There is a burglar in the house

Wang and Tong Zhijie rushed desperately toward the Gu family's old house.

Tong Fusheng, who was always calm in front of Grandma Gu, couldn't maintain his composure anymore. He stepped over Grandma Gu's legs and also entered the courtyard.

Grandma Gu let out a wail.

Wang and Tong Fusheng paused for a moment, realizing that no one had come out despite the commotion, and guessed that only Old Madam Gu was probably home alone at the Gu family's old house.

Since there's only one old lady, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Tong Fusheng sat down on a stool in the courtyard to catch his breath.

Wang swaggered into the Gu family's kitchen, where a pot of hot water sat on top of a stove.

Tong Zhijie carried the washbasin from the yard to the kitchen to fetch hot water.

Taking a bath is out of the question.

It's too cold to wash, and there's not enough water.

At most, you can wipe off the feces on your body and change your clothes; as long as you're not too disheveled, it's fine.

Grandma Gu was so angry she wanted to chop up Tong Fusheng's entire family of three.

"damned."

"Are you three maggots? Always squeezing into any crack."

The shamelessness of Tong Fusheng and his family of three completely broke down Grandma Gu's defenses.

Grandma Gu got up from the ground and shouted into the house, "Ruinian, Ruinian's house, it's been burgled!"

Grandpa Gu and Gu Youtian went out for drinks and weren't home. Their daughter-in-law, Jia, went to chat with the clan chief's wife. Gu Honglian was wandering around the village, and only Gu Ruinian and Wu Na were in the house.

Grandma Gu was afraid that Tong Fusheng and his family of three would harm her. Tong Zhijie's gaze had frightened her so much that her heart was pounding. Therefore, she wanted to call out Gu Ruinian and Wu Na.

She refused to believe that Wu Na's fighting prowess was insufficient to subdue Tong Fusheng's family of three.

Wu Na lay in bed with her pregnant belly, directing Gu Ruinian to massage her legs, pretending not to hear the noises outside.

It's freezing cold; getting out of bed is pure torture.

Gu Ruinian and Wu Na had the same idea; he didn't want to go outside and get cold.

Knowing Grandma Gu as he did, he was afraid she would come up with another way to torment her.

If a thief breaks into your house, what could possibly be worth their attention?

Isn't it just because she saw him and Wu Na sleeping in the house and not doing any work that she wanted to get them out of there?
"Ignore her," Gu Ruinian said.

Wu Na rolled over.

Grandma Gu called for a long time, but Gu Ruinian and Wu Na did not respond at all.

The Tong family of three were completely relieved. There was no one else at home, and what did Old Mrs. Gu, an old woman, have to be afraid of?

Wang filled a basin with hot water, brought it to Tong Fusheng, and casually tore a handkerchief from the clothesline to wipe Tong Fusheng's face, neck, and hands.

Tong Fusheng was treated like a king by Wang Shi.

Tong Zhijie then casually pulled the clothes off the clothesline and washed them himself.

Grandma Gu was absolutely furious.

She couldn't rely on her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and there was no one else in the family, so she had to do it all herself.

Grandma Gu tiptoed into the kitchen, brought out a basin of water, and poured it over Tong Fusheng's head.

"You're asking for it." Tong Zhijie jumped up, splashed with cold water.

Wang was heartbroken and ordered Tong Zhijie, "Quick, help your father to the room to get some clothes to change into."

She stayed in the courtyard to deal with Old Mrs. Gu.

Wang had it all planned out. She changed her clothes and took the chicken and fish hanging in the kitchen with her. She would make up for the losses she suffered at the hands of Tong Pandi and Tong Huaqiong at the Gu family's old house.

Tong Zhijie and Tong Fusheng went into the room.

"Oh, who's this?"

Wu Na screamed.

"A thief has broken in." The Tong family father and son had actually sneaked into Wu Na and Gu Ruinian's room. Wu Na turned over and looked up to see the two disheveled men who had entered. She was so frightened that she sat up, clutching the blanket.

The smell gave her a headache.

What kind of person is this, sneaking into the house in broad daylight?

Wu Na was familiar with the Tong family father and son, after all, they were the family of her former sister-in-law Tong Pandi and current sister-in-law Tong Zhaodi. However, the Tong family father and son had dirt on their faces, and Wu Na did not recognize them at first.

Gu Ruinian's eyes widened. He first saw Tong Fusheng, whom he didn't recognize. The old woman hadn't lied to them; a thief had really broken into their house.

When he faced Tong Zhijie again, he felt slightly relieved.

He was terrified. He thought Gu Youtian had offended someone outside or that Young Master Zheng had sent someone to collect the money for the gunpowder. He was so scared that he hid under the covers and didn't dare to move.

"What are you doing at my house?" Gu Ruinian crawled out of bed, looking puzzled.

He then said to Wu Na, "These are your sister-in-law's father and younger brother."

Wu Na grabbed the blanket, burning with anger.

She had no good feelings towards the Tong family.

Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie were not surprised to find two people in the room at first, and were startled when they saw the two figures huddled on the bed.

Especially Tong Fusheng, who is unable to lift a finger or carry anything heavy, I'm really afraid someone will try to harm him.

Upon seeing Gu Ruinian and Wu Na, Tong Fusheng suddenly remembered that Wu Na had married a cripple.

A cripple is nothing to fear.

Tong Zhijie was not without suspicion of Gu Ruinian; what could a crippled scholar possibly do to him?

"What are you doing in my room?" Wu Na screamed.

Tong Fusheng maintained his composure as an elder and remained silent, while Tong Zhijie said, "We've gotten dirty, so we've come to your house to borrow a couple of clothes to change into."

Gu Ruinian frowned, speaking lightly.

Not only were they covered in filth, soiling their own land, but they also wanted to change their clothes. Who gave them the nerve to do that?

Gu Ruinian's face darkened as he said, "No, get out."

I don't know where it came from, but it crawled into the house.

Tong Zhijie laughed nonchalantly, ignoring Gu Ruinian's reply, and looked at Wu Na, saying, "Wu Na, we're all relatives, it's not normal for us to borrow clothes."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the clothes hanging on the rack.

Gu Ruinian's face turned pale with anger. Wu Na threw off the covers and said coldly, "Who are you relatives? Nothing good ever comes from meeting people from the Tong family. Your eldest sister and my brother got divorced, your second sister caused my father to lose his position as village head, and now you're trying to upset me again. Get out of here."

Suddenly remembering something, he angrily said, "Tong Pandi is in Qinghe Bay. Why don't you go find Tong Pandi and come to us to ask for your clothes back?"

It would have been fine if Tong Pandi hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as Tong Pandi was brought up, Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie's expressions stiffened.

Ignoring everything else, Tong Zhijie took away two thick coats from Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian panicked. He only had these two thick coats for winter, and if Tong Zhijie took them away, how would he go out?

"Put it down." Gu Ruinian got out of bed and tried to take the clothes, but Tong Zhijie smelled so bad that he couldn't help but turn his face away.

Tong Fusheng took the opportunity to wrap one of Gu Ruinian's thick cotton coats around himself.

Grandma Gu splashed water all over him and he froze to death.

Because Wu Na had placed all the charcoal fire in her and Ruinian's room, the fire was strong and the air was warm. The heat caused the smell of the Tong family father and son to emanate from the body, filling the room with an indescribable odor.

If Gu Ruinian couldn't stand it, how much more so Wu Na, who was pregnant and already sensitive to smells?

Wu Na's head was throbbing from the fumes.

"vomit."

Wu Na bent over and vomited.

Tong Zhijie was standing close enough that the vomit sprayed onto him in a jet-like manner.

Tong Zhijie: "."

Tong Fusheng quickly moved far away.
