Chapter 87: Accepting the County Magistrate's Son as His Godson
After the county magistrate's son Liu Yanhong completely recovered, he wiped his tears and thanked Tong Huaqiong.
The entire image of a bad boy is gone.
Han said that her eldest grandson was rescued by Tong Huaqiong, who was like his adopted parent, so she wanted to find a godmother for him. But Tong Huaqiong was already a grandmother, so if she became his adopted godmother, she would be too far behind.
So he forced Liu Yanhong to recognize Tong Huaqiong as his dry nurse.
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched and she waved her hands to refuse.
However, Han refused and said, "Don't worry about my son disagreeing. If he doesn't agree, he doesn't have to call me mother." With the help of Old Lady Huang, Liu Yanhong called Tong Huaqiong "dangnanny" in a loud voice.
Tong Huaqiong was so scared that she wanted to escape.
This is true. I attended a banquet and got a new godson, and he is the young master of the county magistrate.
In other words, the county magistrate should call her godmother.
This golden finger is a bit too big.
At this time, County Magistrate Liu, who was in court to judge a case, suddenly sneezed a few times.
Liu Yanhong called his dry grandmother more enthusiastically than his own biological grandmother. He felt that he had not suffered any loss. Anyway, his dry grandmother had a great skill in making pastries, and he could ask her for pastries whenever he wanted in the future.
If someone has milk, he is the mother; if Liu Yanhong has cakes, he is the dry milk.
Gu Taohua looked at her mother with admiration. Wow, the county magistrate's son is her mother's godson. Doesn't that mean she can go to the county government office to seek out his brother?
Gu Baishuang, who was standing next to Gu Taohua, was stunned by this series of events. Her stepmother was related to the county magistrate like this?
You have to know that her master tried his best but couldn't get into the county government office. She also wanted to get close to the county magistrate's mother when she went to Mrs. Huang's birthday party today, but she just couldn't squeeze into that core circle.
But her wicked stepmother did it easily.
Her stepmother said at the banquet that she wanted to remarry, and it couldn't be taken as a joke. If she could get close to the county magistrate, maybe someone would be willing to marry her.
Gu Baishuang felt that her dead father was a little cheated.
After acknowledging her godson, Tong Huaqiong politely said goodbye to Old Lady Huang and Mr. Huang and left.
Old Mrs. Huang and Mr. Huang, mother and son, naturally tried their best to keep her, but Tong Huaqiong declined with a smile. The mother and son gave Tong Huaqiong a red envelope, and Tong Huaqiong squeezed it to show that she was satisfied.
Yuqin whispered a few words into Old Lady Huang's ear, and Old Lady Huang waved her hand and gave a set of exquisite pastry molds from the small kitchen to Tong Huaqiong, and also gave Gu Taohua and Man'er a piece of satin each.
Mr. Huang ordered his servants to prepare a box of meat and a box of various medicinal herbs for Tong Huaqiong.
Mr. Huang knew that meat and medicinal herbs were rare items for ordinary farmers, so he specially sent the things that the Gu family needed.
Tong Huaqiong expressed her satisfaction and accepted it without refusing.
Mr. Huang ordered someone to hire a car for Tong Huaqiong and her two grandchildren to take them to Qinghe Bay, but Tong Huaqiong declined the offer. Her adopted second son and his daughter-in-law were probably already waiting for her outside the Huang family's mansion.
So Mr. Huang didn't want to force it, and ordered the maids and servants to carry the things and send them to the gate.
Han personally held Tong Huaqiong's hand and walked her out the door. When she learned that Tong Huaqiong was also a widow, she felt even more sympathetic.
She told Tong Huaqiong to just run the pastry business in Yanguan Town, and if anyone caused trouble, her son would be Tong Huaqiong's strong backer.
Han's beloved grandson Liu Yanhong took Man'er's hand and whispered, "Sister Man'er, look, my hands are all scratched, but I forgive you for pushing me down. Let's be friends."
Liu Yanhong followed Maner, calling her "sister" all the time, and even showed her his broken hands.
"I don't forgive you for taking my cake."
Maner pulled her hand out of Liu Yanhong's, looking unhappy. This fat boy deserved a beating just like Gu Yaozu in the past.
He stole her things and then blamed her for it.
It was obvious that he was the one who snatched her cake first, so she pushed him.
And this annoying fat boy actually became his grandmother's grandson. Maner was very unhappy that an outsider was snatching her grandmother away.
"Sister Maner, I shouldn't have snatched your cake. Can you forgive me?" Liu Yanhong changed his domineering attitude next to Maner, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"No." Maner said bluntly.
"I'll come to your house to visit you in the future, okay? I'll bring you many fun things from Pingchuan County." Liu Yanhong said in a flattering manner.
Maner ignored Liu Yanhong, snorted, and quickly walked to Tong Huaqiong and held her grandmother's hand.
She wants to stay away from this little fat boy.
"Grandma, I'll come to your house in Qinghewan to play later."
Young Master Liu Yanhong was not angry when he saw that Man'er disliked him. Instead, he shouted at Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong let go of Han's hand, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, as long as the young master doesn't mind, you can come to my house."
She won't say no, right? Since they are her godchildren, she shouldn't keep up aloof image.
She doesn't want to cling to the county magistrate, so she won't think of clinging to the emperor, right? Doesn't she have any connections?
When we walked out of the Huang family’s gate, Gu Dashu and Liu Yue’e were already waiting outside pulling a flatbed cart.
Tong Huaqiong saw that Gu Dashu and his wife were chatting enthusiastically with the Huang family's doorman. Not to mention that the second brother's family did have some social talents. If such people were used well, they would be good at opening up the market.
"Mom, sister, come out."
When Gu Dashu saw Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua, he went to greet them.
"Mom, it looks like the Huang family is very satisfied today. I saw a lady dressed elegantly escorting you out just now. I guess that must be Old Madam Huang."
Liu Yue'e stepped forward and took Tong Huaqiong's hand affectionately, and took the box from her hand, looking at the Huang family through the door. She heard from the doorman that her mother-in-law always stood out at the birthday banquet, and was invited by the host to sit at the table.
The Huang family’s banquet is definitely the best.
She was so envious.
"Second sister-in-law, that's not Old Madam Huang, that's the county magistrate's mother." Gu Taohua smiled proudly.
"What?"
"The county magistrate's mother?"
Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e were so frightened that their brains could not work. The highest official they knew was the head of the village, and the county magistrate was truly beyond their comprehension.
The county magistrate is no stranger to Qinghewan. Every spring, the county magistrate would come to the village to inspect the spring plowing situation. The place was so crowded that even the village chief had to wander around the periphery, let alone the villagers.
"Mom, is this true?" Gu Dashu asked in a trembling voice.
"What's so strange about this? The county magistrate's mother is not a human being. She has two eyes and one nose." Tong Huaqiong acted very calm.
After hearing what his mother said, Gu Dashu felt that his mother was getting too proud!
That’s the county magistrate’s mother. Even though she has two eyes and one nose, how can she be the same as those women in the village?
"Oh, mother, how did you catch the eye of the county magistrate's mother?"
Liu Yue'e looked at Tong Huaqiong with admiration.
She came to Yanguan Town to look for a shop today. When she mentioned Taohua Desserts, everyone praised Tong Huaqiong for her good pastry making, straightforward personality and honest business practices. Liu Yue'e always wondered if they were praising her own mother-in-law.
She now feels that she had underestimated her mother-in-law in the past.
Now he can even marry the county magistrate’s mother.
"Mother saved the son of the county magistrate..."
Gu Taohua proudly described in vivid detail how Tong Huaqiong saved the son of the county magistrate at the banquet.
When he heard that the county magistrate's son had acknowledged Tong Huaqiong as his godmother, Gu Dashu laughed so hard that his mouth reached his ears.
"The county magistrate's son calls me his god-grandmother, which means he calls me his god-uncle, which means the county magistrate and I are also brothers."
The more Gu Dashu thought about it, the happier he felt. He hadn't even met the county magistrate yet, but they had already become sworn brothers.
I can do it!
