Chapter 84 Different Stepmothers, Different Fates

"Oh, this stepmother is a stepmother. How can she be so sincere to someone who is not her biological child?"

The discussion about the stepmother had originally died down, but a young wife sitting next to Gu Baishuang suddenly sneered and spoke as if she was going to stir up trouble.

Tong Huaqiong looked at the young wife. She was dressed in a rich and luxurious manner, and her slightly protruding belly showed that she was pregnant.

"The stepmother is stopping the original wife from being buried with her husband, and you are still speaking for her?" the young wife said to Gu Baishuang.

Her words seemed to clearly show her understanding of the grudge between Gu Baishuang and Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong remembered that this young wife was Sun, the second daughter-in-law of the Nie family, and the wife of Gu Baishuang's stepson.

Although they both have stepson and daughter-in-law, Gu Baishuang’s two daughters-in-law do not treat her with as much respect as Chen Sufen.

The eldest daughter-in-law is a smiling tiger. She already has a son. She respects her mother-in-law Gu Baishuang openly but plots against her secretly. She is very good at speaking in a veiled way and makes indirect accusations from time to time. This time she did not come to the birthday party, and Tong Huaqiong did not see her real self.

The second daughter-in-law is the young daughter-in-law beside Gu Baishuang.

This person is also not someone who is easy to mess with. She acts openly and speaks harshly. Since Gu Baishuang is not her biological mother-in-law, she has no respect for her.

Gu Baishuang's life in the Nie family was not as easy as she had imagined.

This was even more so after she gave birth to a son. It would have been fine if she hadn't given birth to a son, but if she had, he would have come to divide up the Nie family's property. How could the two stepsons be willing to accept that?

With two ferocious step-sons staring at her from the front, plus two step-sons' wives who were not easy to deal with, Tong Huaqiong felt that Gu Baishuang was just a little better off in terms of food and clothing, and was not as comfortable as her.

If she is unhappy, she can also bully Gu Dahan and Chen Sufen.

No matter how unhappy Gu Baishuang was, she had to endure it for Nie Xiaofeng.

Gu Baishuang herself had lived under the control of a stepmother, and knew how unpleasant it felt. After becoming a stepmother, she vowed to treat her two stepchildren as her own, which made them greedy, and they even didn't respect her very much on a daily basis.

Gu Baishuang's expression changed after hearing what Sun said.

She knew in her heart that her stepson's wife brought up this topic not to vent her anger and seek justice from Tong Huaqiong, but simply to disgust her.

Otherwise she wouldn't have called her stepmother on purpose.

Everyone sitting here knows that she is the stepmother of the Nie family!

Sun stabbed her step-mother-in-law and looked very proud.

She had a reason for embarrassing her step-mother-in-law in public this time. Her husband wanted to manage the shop in Pingchuan County, but her father-in-law disagreed, so there was a quarrel between father and son.

She felt that it must be her stepmother-in-law who whispered in her father-in-law's ear. In the past few days, she was always giving Gu Baishuang the cold shoulder, even in front of outsiders.

After hearing this, the ladies at the banquet thought that Gu Baishuang did not allow the original wife to be buried with Nie Yuanwai. Some stood for Gu Baishuang, some stood for the stepson and his wife, but no matter who they stood for, it did not affect everyone's desire to watch the show.

"Granddaughter-in-law, are you picking me? You picked the wrong person. I decided a few days ago to bury your grandma and grandpa together. You haven't heard the news yet, right? When the funeral is held, you will have to pay respect to the tablet as the granddaughter-in-law."

Tong Huaqiong looked at Sun with a smile. The word "grandson's wife" made Sun feel very sick.

"How can a stepmother be so kind?" Sun muttered.

"This matter has been settled." Gu Baishuang said lightly.

Sun curled her lips, feeling unwilling that she had not been able to hit her step-mother-in-law hard.

Tong Huaqiong saw everything in front of her eyes and said to Sun: "You want to ask why I stopped the joint burial before, right? It was because I was like a crab without legs when the old man died, so I wanted to make a fuss."

Instead of letting Sun take advantage of the situation, it would be better for her to expose the truth herself.

Everyone looked at Tong Huaqiong and realized that it was Tong Huaqiong who did not allow his original wife to be buried with her husband.

The daughter-in-law of the Nie family was standing up for Madam Nie, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like that. It seems more like she is taking advantage of the situation to make a fuss.

Tong Huaqiong nodded to the ladies and said, "I have made some money from my business these days, and I think I can live on my own without relying on a man. Ladies, please don't laugh at me. To be honest, I don't think I am old, and maybe I can remarry in the future, so I will not be buried with my old man. There is nothing wrong with burying two people who have passed away together."

Tong Huaqiong's words made Gu Taohua and Gu Baishuang open their eyes wide, and made all the ladies present speechless with shock.

Although, this widow Tong doesn't look old. She looks pretty good with thick eyebrows, big eyes and an oval face after some grooming. But you already have grandchildren, so who are you going to marry?

Gu Baishuang's mind was in turmoil. She thought that her stepmother wanted her mother and father to be buried together because Tong Huaqiong had the idea of ​​remarrying. How bold of her to think that.

But no matter what, she couldn't interfere with her stepmother's decision. Her stepmother just helped her to dispel the speculation that "the stepmother didn't allow the original husband to be buried together", and she felt a little grateful to Tong Huaqiong.

Sun thought that Tong Huaqiong's words were shameless. She was so old and yet she was restless as a widow and wanted to remarry.

Who would want her?

So he said sarcastically: "Which old widower is willing to accept a widow? He really thinks he is a dish."

Tong Huaqiong said, "I don't know which old widower is willing to accept a widow, but granddaughter-in-law, when you come to visit someone else's house and keep calling her a widow, aren't you slapping the host in the face? You are attending a widow's birthday celebration now, and the county magistrate's wife sitting next to the old man is also a widow."

"Why don't we ask the two widows up there to judge for us."

Sun's face turned red and white, and she was choked with anger. She said, "It seems that you are used to being a stepmother. You always want to be a stepmother in someone else's family. Otherwise, why do you want to remarry?"

These words attacked both Tong Huaqiong and Gu Baishuang.

Gu Baishuang couldn't help it and scolded Sun: "Second son's wife, what are you talking about? What's the point of talking about stepmother or not?"

Sun retorted, "She is the stepmother, and I am not wrong."

Gu Baishuang's face turned ashen with anger.

Tong Huaqiong was not angry. She and Gu Baishuang shared the same hatred and said to Sun: "Which woman can guarantee that she will not be someone's stepmother? Who can make the decision on marriage? Just like you, you married into the Nie family as the first wife because of your own wishes. If your parents married you to an old widower like your father-in-law, you would have no choice."

Sun wanted to refute that when she was a girl, the second son of the Nie family took a fancy to her and personally came to her house to offer a betrothal gift to ask for her hand in marriage.

Tong Huaqiong didn't wait for her to open her mouth and continued, "You keep talking about stepmother all the time. Is your stepmother eating your rice? You should be grateful that you have a mother-in-law who is a stepmother now. If it was your real mother-in-law, she would have slapped you for your incoherent way of talking. You didn't meet a stepmother like me. I should have taught your mother-in-law to be the stepmother you are talking about. Don't say you are talking nonsense at this banquet. You are not even qualified to eat at the banquet."

Gu Taohua took a sip of tea and said, "That's right. I think elder sister is just too good-tempered. You learned from my mother in vain. Since you have been branded as a black-hearted stepmother in vain, you should give her a slap in the face."

Gu Baishuang: “…”

Sun was so exhausted by the double attack of Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua, mother and daughter.

"besides."

Tong Huaqiong glanced at Sun's belly and said, "Be more careful with your words in the future, and accumulate virtue for your child. You like to talk about stepmothers so much, and people who don't know would think you want your son to have a stepmother."

Sun's face turned pale with anger. This was a curse on her!
