Chapter 44 Mother and Daughter Show Their Power

The day agreed upon with Mr. Huang to send pastry samples has arrived.

The whole family knew that this business was very important, so before dawn, everyone got up and helped Tong Huaqiong with the preparations.

He carefully checked the various cakes and placed them together with their packaging in the backpack.

The wrapping paper was designed by Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua, and it focuses on being beautiful and elegant. When placed in the backpack, Tong Huaqiong feels that what is being sold is not only pastries but also culture.

Tong Huaqiong had reserved a parking space for Uncle Xu last night, and Uncle Xu readily agreed, but he still charged the fare for four people.

Tong Huaqiong didn't care. In addition to Gu Taohua, the backpacks and baskets they brought also took up a lot of space.

When I make a lot of money, I will definitely buy myself a covered carriage.

No matter what era, having a private car is convenient.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua were going to take Uncle Xu's earliest ox cart to the town.

After checking the pastries, Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e prepared breakfast. Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua did not sit down to eat, but put steamed buns and eggs in their pockets to eat on the way.

While Man'er was still asleep, Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe tied up the little boar in the pigsty, put a muzzle in its mouth, and lifted it onto the flatbed cart. They planned to go to the castration master's house according to the address provided by housekeeper He to castrate the pig.

It was Tong Huaqiong's request to keep it a secret from Man'er. After all, the child was still young and couldn't understand the explanation. He thought they had tied up the pigs and slaughtered them, which would have been too much of a psychological shock to the child.

The two brothers were a little nervous, wondering whether the master would feel insulted by carrying a boar to the house and kick the man out.

Tong Huaqiong was not worried at all, because the castrator Gadan was not doing charity but making money, mainly giving money, no matter whether it was for men or boars.

After finding out that it took two taels of silver to deliver an egg, Tong Huaqiong gritted her teeth and gave Gu Dashu two taels of silver.

It’s indeed expensive. Two taels of silver are enough to buy half a pork leg.

There is no other way. If you want to be the first to try something new, you have to pay a price.

Gu Dashu and Gu Jing first helped Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua put the cakes on Uncle Xu's ox cart, and then pushed the pigs towards Pingchuan County.

Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua sat steadily on the ox cart. There were many people from Qinghewan sitting on the ox cart. Some of them were going to the town to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, some were going to the town to do small business, and some were going to the town to do odd jobs.

After getting in the car, everyone stayed away from Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua. They all knew that this mother and daughter were not easy to mess with and they were afraid of being blackmailed if they got involved with them.

Widow Tong and her gang of bad guys had a bad reputation in Qinghe Bay to begin with. Ever since the news that Gu Jingzhe accepted money from the Zheng family and wanted to give Man'er to the Zheng family's eldest son to bring him good luck was spread by matchmaker Wang, everyone was even more contemptuous of Tong Huaqiong's family and didn't even want to have anything to do with them.

If Uncle Xu had not been greedy for the four-seat fare paid by Tong Huaqiong, he would not have wanted to have anything to do with Tong Huaqiong and her daughter.

The cakes placed around Tong Huaqiong continued to emit fragrance, filling the entire ox cart with the aroma.

Because the fragrance was so tempting, everyone in the car looked towards the basket next to Tong Huaqiong.

People in Qinghe Bay are familiar with this fragrance. In the past few days, the tempting fragrance has been drifting in every corner of Qinghe Bay. Which child would not be screaming for greed?

At first, no one knew where the source of the fragrance came from. All the children in the village took their dogs to conduct a carpet search and finally discovered that the fragrance came from the Gu family.

Everyone in the village was curious about what kind of food the Gu family had made that made everyone so greedy that they couldn't sleep or eat.

But he didn't dare to go to the Gu family to inquire, because Widow Tong and that group of evil people were not to be trifled with.

After all, there were still some brave ones, such as some ignorant children, who ran to Gu's house, leaned on the gate and looked in for a long time, and then asked questions from Gu Yaozu, and finally found out that Widow Tong was making cakes and was going to set up a stall in Yanguan Town to sell them.

According to people working in Yanguan Town, they did see Widow Tong and Gu Taohua selling cakes near Sushiyuan.

Everyone in the village was laughing at the joke. They thought that Widow Tong’s cakes might be made from shoddy materials. Who would dare to buy them?

He was so ignorant that he set up a stall in front of the Sushi Garden.

At this time, the two women opposite Tong Huaqiong looked at each other, then lowered their heads to look at the basket next to Tong Huaqiong.

"Widow Tong, what's in your basket?" asked Mrs. Huang.

Tong Huaqiong replied unhappily: "It's none of your business what you pretend to be."

In Tong Huaqiong's memory, Tong Da Jiao and Huang Pozi did not get along. Last year, the two of them fought over water and land, pulling each other's hair and rolling from one end of the field to the other.

To be honest, the quarrel between Tong Dajiao and Huang Pozi was not Tong Dajiao's fault. Huang Pozi took advantage of the fact that Tong Dajiao's husband was dead and falsely accused Tong Dajiao of stealing cabbages from her field. Tong Dajiao could not argue with her, so she took the initiative to pull Huang Pozi's head bald.

Since Tong Da Jiao was not popular and had a bad impression in the village, everyone supported Huang Pozi, and Tong Da Jiao's reputation plummeted to the bottom because of this incident.

After being rejected by Tong Huaqiong, Mrs. Huang felt a slight pain in her scalp.

Bah, you black-hearted person wants to set up a stall to sell cakes, what are you thinking?

Granny Yan, who was looking at Granny Huang, sneered and said, "Widow Tong heard that you've been selling cakes in town recently. Are the baskets full of cakes? They smell really good. Why don't you let us have a taste? If they're delicious, I'll buy you a pound to support your business."

Tong Huaqiong said coldly: "You are a beggar who just opens his mouth to ask for food. Who are you? Why do I need you to take care of my business?"

This old lady Yan is even more hateful than old lady Huang.

Her son Xu Si was the most notorious hooligan in the village, and he enjoyed molesting women.

Every time the family of the girl who was molested came to the door, instead of scolding her son, Yan Pozi turned the tables and threw dirty water on the girl, saying that she seduced her son.

Even though Tong Dajiao is not a good person, she would never do such a thing. If Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe dare to act like hooligans, Tong Dajiao would chop off their hands and feet.

She hasn’t settled the score with Chen Sufen for the time when Xu Si deliberately bumped into her butt last time.

Granny Yan rolled her eyes, bumped into Granny Huang, and whispered sarcastically, "You are dressed so pretty, who knows if you are selling cakes or something else? Not only do you sell it yourself, but you also bring a girl with you."

As they spoke, they glanced at Gu Taohua, and the two old women smiled with ambiguous expressions.

"Oh, it seems that Mrs. Yan is very experienced in selling things. I see that you go to town every three to five days. Are you looking for a lover or selling the things you mentioned? Otherwise, how come you can associate my selling cakes with other things?"

"It's better for you to sell your buttocks with your son than for me to sell cakes with my daughter. Selling cakes is so tiring, it's not as easy as you just cross your legs and stick your buttocks out. No wonder people say that Mrs. Yan's family is getting more and more prosperous. It's a pity that I don't have such a good life."

As soon as Tong Huaqiong said this, everyone in the car couldn't help laughing.

The truth is that Yan Pozi's reputation in the village is worse than Tong Dajiao's. Tong Dajiao's bad reputation is mainly because she is a vicious stepmother and a vicious mother-in-law among the people, while Yan Pozi's reputation is external because she protects her own son and treats him like a beast.

Let’s just say that everyone here is worried that their daughter will be molested by her son Xu Si.

It has to be said that Tong Huaqiong's response has elevated her image among the villagers.

Xu Si was sitting next to Gu Taohua. Seeing his mother losing the battle with Widow Tong, he waved his fist and cursed with eyes wide open: "How dare a widow bully my mother? Believe it or not, I will throw you out of the car."

Gu Taohua stood up and pointed at Xu Si, cursing, "My mother is a widow and is indeed not as good as your mother. Your mother found you a bunch of wild fathers. Who are you targeting? If you dare to move a finger, I will crush you to death. If you want to throw my mother out of the car, I will throw you first."

Gu Taohua grabbed Xu Si's wrist and pulled it, almost pushing Xu Si out of the car.

Tong Huaqiong gave Gu Taohua a thumbs up.
