Chapter 99: My Daughter's Situation
"You should break your sister-in-law's hand."
"Don't leave relatives like this in the future."
Tong Huaqiong was so angry that she started cursing. On the one hand, she was very disappointed with Chen Sufen, and on the other hand, she wanted to run to Chenjiazhuang and tear Chen Sufen's sister-in-law apart.
He actually dared to pinch Maner's hand.
"Mom, I bit my aunt's hand." Maner raised her little face, meaning that she didn't suffer any loss.
"Even if you two adults are tied together, you are no better than a child. You bite well." Tong Huaqiong praised.
"Then if you bite your aunt, how will she react?" Tong Huaqiong didn't believe that the Chen family would not react.
"My eldest brother and his wife wanted to beat her, but my parents stopped them. Dahan and I were there to persuade them."
Chen Sufen said timidly that she now regretted not turning over the table at that time.
Why are her parents trying to persuade her? Isn't it because they want to get a piece of her flesh and pretend to be nice to her before they can no longer squeeze out any more oil from her?
Chen Sufen was filled with guilt.
I didn't have a good lunch.
My daughter was wronged.
Forced to pay money.
Chen Sufen still has illusions about her parents.
In order to repair the relationship with their parents, Chen Sufen and Gu Dahan did all the work in the Chen family's fields in the afternoon. After finishing the work, Gu Dahan was asked to repair the roof of the Chen family until the evening.
The Chen brothers are up to something new. They heard from somewhere that Tong Huaqiong is going to open a pastry shop in the town, and they actually want Gu Dahan and Chen Sufen to bring their nephew to Gu's house and have him work as a clerk in the shop.
When Chen Sufen's sister-in-law learned that Chen Sufen was learning to make pastries from her mother-in-law, she wanted Chen Sufen to bring the eldest daughter to the Gu family to learn how to make pastries, saying that Chen Sufen had to consider her niece, after all, her surname was also Chen.
She did not even mention the other excessive request that sister-in-law Chen Sufen mentioned.
The eldest sister-in-law wanted to marry her eldest daughter to Gu Jingzhe, saying that it was no big deal if the aunt and niece became sisters-in-law due to the difference in generation, since Gu Jingzhe was so promising, it would be better to give all his wealth to the Chen family.
After Chen Sufen refused, Chen's parents actually said that they should contact the Zheng family again and send Maner to the Zheng family to change their future.
Chen Sufen was completely disappointed.
Gu Dahan finally got angry, smashed the Chen family's big water tank, and took Chen Sufen and Maner to Qinghe Bay overnight.
"......How could my parents, brother and sister-in-law treat me like this?" Chen Sufen said while crying. She was really sad.
Her mother-in-law had treated her badly in the past, but she felt that she was a daughter-in-law after all, so she was in pain but not sad.
But she was sad and heartbroken by the way her parents treated her.
They knew how she had lived in the Gu family over the years, but they ignored her and never offered to stand up for her.
Now that her mother-in-law is treating her well and the Gu family is doing well, they are asking her to pay money and to support her nephews and nieces. She really can't stand it.
"When I was a girl, I worked from morning till night every day, cooking and farming. I never wore new clothes and never ate delicious food. I don't complain. Most of the girls in the village went through the same thing. Who wouldn't sacrifice for their brothers? The sisters who grew up with me were sold to wealthy families as maids. I was very grateful that my parents let me stay at home and gave me something to eat." Chen Sufen choked up when she mentioned the past.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. Most of the girls in the village have gone through the same thing. You don't compare the better ones but the worse ones. Let alone other things, look at how my parents treated me. No matter how unhappy they were that I married Dashu, when I gave birth to Yaozu, my parents sent me chicken and brown sugar. And there's Taohua in our family, look how much our mother loves her. She is our aunt and no one can mess with her." Liu Yue'e said with a pout.
Tong Huaqiong felt that although Liu Yue'e was narrow-minded, she had a clear understanding of the problem.
Perhaps it was because she was spoiled by her parents since childhood that Liu Yue'e developed such a narrow-minded and spoiled character.
Gu Taohua was also spoiled when she grew up.
Although she understood the truth, Chen Sufen was still sad.
Tong Huaqiong understood Chen Sufen's thoughts very well.
Not to mention this era, even in her previous life, her roommate had already obtained a master's degree from a 985 university, but was still unable to break away from her original family that favored boys over girls.
I want to escape, but I also yearn for the ethereal love of my original family.
"Sister-in-law, let me say something unpleasant. Your parents are not good to you at all. If they were good to you, would they marry you to your brother?" Liu Yue'e said.
At the beginning, Tong Dajiao had a bad reputation towards her stepson, and Gu Dahan had been unable to find a wife for a long time. Old man Gu paid twenty taels of silver, and the Chen family took the money and hurriedly married Chen Sufen into the family.
"To put it bluntly, your parents, brother and sister-in-law sold you to the Gu family for twenty taels of silver." Liu Yue'e said, "They took your silver, but you didn't get any dowry. Look at me, even though my parents were against my marriage to Dashu, I was given a quilt, a cabinet, a toilet, and ten taels of silver as a dowry when I got married."
"Anyway, if it were me, I would cut off all contact with your family."
In the countryside, a dowry of ten taels of silver is already a lot.
This is what the Liu family did when Liu Yue'e ignored her parents' objections and did not have a bride price.
Tong Huaqiong developed some respect for the Liu family's relatives.
They truly love their daughter.
"Sufen, what your sister-in-law said makes sense. Your parents just don't love you. Let me ask you, what do you think about this in the future?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Tong Huaqiong hopes that Chen Sufen will have no ties with the Chen family at all.
It’s not just because in Tong Dajiao’s memory of her previous life, the Chen family teamed up with the Zheng family to trick Maner.
Also, the Chen family has now set their sights on Taohua Desserts. They want Chen Sufen's nephew to work as a clerk in the shop, and they also want their niece to learn the skills from them.
She couldn't stand such in-laws and had to break up with them.
If she continued, she was afraid it would bring trouble to her shop.
Never underestimate how disgusting flies are.
"My heart is chilled. I want to break up, but I'm afraid of gossip..." said Chen Sufen.
It's good that she's willing to break up even though she's disappointed. This shows that Chen Sufen is not so foolish and saintly as to be unprincipled.
"What are you afraid of? If someone says a few words to you, what can you do?" Tong Huaqiong said.
"Look at me. My reputation in the village is not that good. Has it affected my food and drink? Has it affected my cakes and pastries? When I was a stepmother, I didn't care what others said about me. I only cared about whether I was happy or not. Now that I am a widow and I am doing business in public, many people still talk about me behind my back. I still go to the town to set up a stall and make money. Let people talk about it."
Tong Huaqiong took herself as an example.
Chen Sufen said nothing, her eyes red.
On the way here, she made up her mind that she would be filial to Chen's parents, but she would never go back to her parents' home, and she would not let Man'er have any contact with the Chen family.
The Chen family is even more cruel than my previous husband's family. A group of people who have never raised Man'er want to exchange Man'er for their future.
"From now on, I will only ask others to bring things for me, and I will show my filial piety and stop having any contact with you." Chen Sufen said as if she had made up her mind.
Tong Huaqiong was not satisfied, her face instantly sank, she said with Tong Da Jiao in her spirit: "My eldest brother's wife, all the things in our house are earned by me with my hard work, don't even think about selling them to the Chen family. If I find out, you can go back to the Chen family too."
Chen Sufen was speechless. How could her kind mother-in-law become so fierce again?
"Don't talk about filial piety. As long as you are my daughter-in-law, you must cut off contact with the Chen family." Tong Huaqiong ordered Chen Sufen, "You have brothers, sisters-in-law and younger brothers. They don't need your filial piety. Don't rush to curry favor with them."
Given Chen Sufen's clingy personality, tough measures must be used to sever her ties with her mother's family.
Given the character of the Chen family, whenever Chen Sufen brought anything over, it would be like a cracked egg; they would immediately cling to her like flies.
In order to avoid the chance of being entangled by flies and having your blood sucked, it is better to cut it off quickly.
