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

Chapter 718 Divorce is Impossible
With nowhere else to turn, Fan Tong saw the weaving workshop's doors wide open and rushed inside.

"Sister-in-law, save me!" Fan Tong shouted to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.

Who drove this guy to this state?

"Sister-in-law, please move aside."

Looking back, he saw Gu Honglian chasing after him with a knife in her hand.

Fan Tong looked terrified.

The weaving workshop was full of female workers when suddenly a man with a face swollen like a pig's head ran in, and everyone looked on curiously.

Looking again at Gu Honglian behind him, he realized that the pig-headed man was Fan Tong.

The news of Gu Honglian beating Fan Tong had already spread throughout Qinghe Bay. At this moment, no one tried to stop the fight, and the women from the weaving workshop were all watching the show with a gossipy attitude.

Fan Tong ran around the courtyard, with Gu Honglian chasing after him relentlessly with a knife in her hand.

Fan Tong saw the cotton seeds piled up in the northwest corner of the yard and went inside.

Gu Honglian caught up and swiftly and accurately slashed Fan Tong's buttocks.

Without blinking an eye.

"Ow."

Fan Tong cried out in pain and almost fainted.

The weaving workshop fell silent instantly.

Even Tong Huaqiong was speechless with shock. It has to be said that Gu Honglian was incredibly brave, slashing down with her sword just like that.

It is evident that once a woman makes up her mind, she will kill anyone who stands in her way.

"Quick, pull him out! Don't let the blood get on the cottonseeds, we need to press oil from them!" Gu Baishuang exclaimed.

Why did they have to come to the embroidery workshop of all places?

unlucky!

Li Mingxiu was strong, so she stepped forward, pulled Fan Tong out of the cotton seeds, and dragged him outside the weaving workshop.

The villagers were so frightened that they all backed away.

The blood was flowing so visibly; it was terrifying.

Fan Tong was in so much pain that she fainted.

Luckily, the knife hit his buttocks; otherwise, he would have been dead.

When Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu arrived, they were so frightened by the sight of Gu Honglian holding a bloodstained knife that they nearly flew into the air.

Fan Tong was hacked to death, and Gu Honglian was imprisoned.

Wei said, "Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, it's just the buttocks that are being cut off, no one will die."

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were slightly relieved.

Gu Honglian stood there blankly, holding a knife in her hand, blood dripping onto her feet.

Gu Honglian was furious. She had made it very clear to Fan Tong yesterday that he should ask his mother and sister-in-law to come to the Gu family to apologize, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

They even tried to morally blackmail her.

In Fan Tong's mind, was her opinion really that unimportant?
"Dahan, go and fetch a doctor." Seeing Gu Dahan standing to the side, Old Master Gu instructed him to go and fetch a doctor. Although it was not life-threatening, what if someone bled to death in the Gu family? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

He and his boss only wanted Gu Honglian to control Fan Tong, not for Gu Honglian to become a widow.

Gu Dahan knew he couldn't let anyone die in Qinghe Bay, so he hurriedly went to fetch a doctor.

When the doctor arrived, he cut open Fan Tong's underwear, cleaned and bandaged it, and Fan Tong was woken up by the pain.

"The young master's butt is so white."

A group of children watched curiously.

Yaozu offered a comment.

Fan Tong was so ashamed and indignant after hearing Yao Zu's words that he felt like he was going to die.

He looked up and saw Gu Honglian standing in front of him with a bloodstained knife, which frightened him so much that he rolled his eyes and fainted again.

Before fainting, Fan Tong thought it was too humiliating to even die. "Wake him up with the needle," Gu Honglian said.

After the doctor administered an acupuncture needle, Fan Tong slowly woke up.

“This wound is quite deep, and you must be suffering in this hot weather. The medicine I prescribed for you needs to be applied and rubbed every day. You can’t get it wet, and you can’t take a bath for ten days to half a month.”

After bandaging the wound, the doctor gave a few instructions, shook his head, and left.

If you don't bathe for ten days or half a month in the sweltering heat, your body will become rotten and smelly. How could Fan Xiucai stand that?

"Auntie, you're so brave!" Wu Na walked over, her belly protruding, and exclaimed loudly, "I must say, your knife skills are quite accurate."

As Wu Na spoke, Gu Ruinian inexplicably felt a dull ache in his buttocks.

He was afraid that Wu Na would do what Gu Honglian did and cut his buttocks.

Wu Na indeed thought so too.

If Gu Ruinian disobeys next time, she'll chop his buttocks too.

"Honglian, you're so brave!" exclaimed a young wife from the Gu family, a clanswoman from the weaving workshop.

She had heard that her boss, Tong Dajiao, used to beat men when she was young, but this was the first time she had ever seen a woman kill someone.

"This scholar Fan brought it on himself. He hit Honglian first,"

"Fan Tong, what did I say yesterday? If you want me to go back to the Fan family, your mother and sister-in-law have to come to my house to apologize, and you have to give me a written guarantee." Gu Honglian grinned and brandished the knife in her hand. "Otherwise, every time you come, I'll chop you up. You'll see how many butts you have."

Fan Tong nodded vigorously.

They didn't care about saving face at all.

His snow-white buttocks were exposed to everyone, and his scholarly image was completely ruined.

While cursing Gu Honglian for being heartless, Fan Tong also complained that Old Madam Fan and his sister-in-law were not considerate of him. If they had come to the Gu family in a hurry, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Get out of here," Gu Honglian said.

Fan Tong can't even stand up, how can he roll?

Finally, Gu Dahan and Gu Fengnian hired Grandpa Xu along with the oxcart and took Fan Tong to the Fan family in Wild Buffalo Valley.

When the old lady and sister-in-law of the Fan family saw the blood on Fan Tong's pants, they cried and grabbed Grandpa Xu, demanding an explanation.

Startled, Grandpa Xu threw Fan Tong to the ground and quickly drove away.

Fan Tong was in even more pain after being thrown by Grandpa Xu.

"I misjudged Gu Honglian. She's a rotten seed that produced a bastard. She even tried to kill my son with a knife. Waaah!" Old Mrs. Fan cried, heartbroken for her son, while cursing Gu Honglian.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family was so shocked that she couldn't respond.

She never expected Gu Honglian to be so ruthless, cutting her down without hesitation.

At this moment, she was somewhat relieved that Gu Honglian had returned to her parents' home; otherwise, she would have been the one being attacked and killed by the Fan family.

"Shouldn't we divorce this kind of daughter-in-law?" said the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family.

She was genuinely terrified.

She had initially opposed her mother-in-law's decision to divorce Gu Honglian, thinking that Gu Honglian's return would provide an extra source of labor for the family. She felt that after all these years of hard work, the burden of farming and housework should be handed over to Gu Honglian so that she could enjoy her retirement sooner.

Gu Honglian's blow completely woke her up.

He was after Gu Honglian's sister-in-law and nephew, and the Gu family's dowry. Now, not only has he lost his dowry, but he also risks being killed. It would be better to find Fan Tong a capable girl from the village; that way, she'll have an easier life.

Fan Tong winced in pain, raised his neck in protest, and said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, don't talk about divorcing me. I can't possibly divorce Honglian. Her nephew is a scholar who passed the imperial examination, and you are a local official. Her nephew's wife's brother is the top scholar in the imperial examination and is now a favorite of the emperor. In our Pingchuan County, even Magistrate Liu has to curry favor with the Gu family. We've only been married for less than two months. If I divorce Honglian, I'm afraid I won't have a way to survive in Pingchuan County."

Grandma Fan was speechless after hearing this, and they were completely at Gu Honglian's mercy.

"I don't believe that Gu Honglian can really control your future," said Sister-in-law Fan unhappily.

Fan Tong said, "I did need the Gu family's connections before I passed the imperial examination."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fan family turned pale upon hearing this.

This is like bringing back a great Buddha.

“I didn’t have to get a knife wound. If you hadn’t been so stubborn and gone to the Fan family with Mother to pick her up today, Honglian would probably have already gone home.” Fan Tong then shifted all the blame onto his sister-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family was so angry that she burst into tears on the spot.

Her brother-in-law has changed; he's become distant and estranged from her.
