Chapter 300: The Thoughts of the Two Daughters-in-Law

Tong Huaqiong suppressed her gossipy expression and said, "We've only known each other for two days, so our relationship is not shallow or close."

When Mr. Lu saw Tong Huaqiong's look of trying hard to hold back her anger, he knew that she had misunderstood.

"People involved in romance are the most untrustworthy." Mr. Lu muttered shyly as if trying to save face.

Tong Huaqiong thought to herself, just pretend.

You look down on people who are into romance, yet you still ask about them.

"I heard that Mother Mo has come to her senses after Mr. Chen's plot against Dashu. She asked someone to find me before, wanting to borrow my boat to carry some goods, but I never agreed. Could it be that she asked you?" Mr. Lu said rather uncomfortably.

Tong Huaqiong thought that Mr. Lu was indeed a great businessman, as he could tell from Tong Huaqiong's casual chat that Mother Mo and Tong Huaqiong had reached some kind of exchange of interests.

So Tong Huaqiong stopped hiding it and said, "To be honest, Mother Mo did invest in me."

"But don't worry, she's not directly involved. If you don't like it, just consider her money as a loan from me, and I won't take her with me anymore."

Tong Huaqiong was worried that Mr. Lu would be unhappy about this, so she quickly explained.

Mr. Lu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Forget it, if you want to take her, just take her. I just need Mother Mo's help with something. Can I ask Mr. Tong to tell Mother Mo to come to the Lu Mansion tomorrow?"

Tong Huaqiong did not agree rashly, and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, old man, how should I convey the message to Mother Mo?"

Tong Huaqiong couldn't figure out what Mr. Lu was up to, but her meaning was very clear: just say whatever you want to say.

Mr. Lu decided to keep it a secret and said, "You just need to tell her that I invite her to the Lu family. You don't need to say anything else. She will come naturally."

Tong Huaqiong had no doubt about this.

Among all the merchants in Ningcheng, who would not be willing to give the Lu family some face?

Since Mr. Lu asked her to convey a message, then she would convey it and not mention anything else.

Before leaving, Tong Huaqiong asked Mr. Lu for another favor, hoping that the Lu family could help buy a good horse.

Mr. Lu agreed readily.

Lu Zhaoyang and Lu Zhaozhao sent Tong Huaqiong and others on the carriage back to the hotel.

On the way back to the hotel, Liu Yue'e tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "Mother, why did you and Taohua reject Mr. Lu?"

Not only Liu Yue'e wanted to ask, but Chen Sufen also wanted to ask.

The Lu family is the richest merchant family in Ningcheng, Lu Zhaoyang is the most promising student in Wanliu Academy, and it was the Lu family who took the initiative to propose the marriage, but Gu Taohua rejected it so gorgeously.

To be honest, I'm afraid I'll never find such a good marriage again.

Gu Taohua was young and ignorant, so her mother-in-law let her do as she pleased.

Tong Huaqiong said: "Hasn't your sister already said that she doesn't like Lu Zhaoyang?"

Liu Yue'e sneered.

For a family like the Lu family, forget about whether they like it or not, getting the money and the shop is the real thing.

Gu Taohua asked Liu Yue'e, "Didn't someone in town propose marriage to your family? Why did you elope with my second brother?"

Liu Yue'e said, "How can it be the same? The family in that town has at most a small shop, and that man is not as good-looking as your second brother and has no future. What kind of family is the Lu family? It is the richest family in Ningcheng, and there is no pressure from your parents-in-law. What's wrong with you marrying into the family and being the head of the family? What's more, Lu Zhaoyang is handsome and has a promising future in education. He will definitely earn you a royal title in the future. Taohua, you are too young and don't know how good this marriage is."

Gu Taohua was too lazy to listen to Liu Yue'e's chanting, and said quickly: "If Second Sister-in-law thinks that the Lu family is good, you can just divorce Second Brother and marry Lu Zhaoyang."

Liu Yue'e rolled her eyes in anger, wondering how could her sister-in-law be so ungrateful.

And the mother-in-law, although capable in business, was too indulgent towards her sister-in-law when it came to her marriage.

So Liu Yue'e said to Tong Huaqiong: "Mother, my sister-in-law is not sensible, we should persuade her."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Okay, stop worrying about it. Your sister has already said she doesn't like it, so you don't have to persuade her anymore."

"Taohua is still young, it's not the right time to talk about marriage."

Chen Sufen agreed with Tong Huaqiong's idea and said, "Mother is right. My aunt is still young and there is no need to rush to get married. Getting married and having children at such a young age can easily lead to difficult labor."

Liu Yue'e thought that her elder sister-in-law was really good at currying favor with her mother-in-law, and even her mother-in-law's farts smelled good.

After the New Year, it will be the fifteenth day.

Gu Dashu said: "Taohua is always at home, no one dares to fart."

Liu Yue'e was angry that Gu Dashu did not stand on her side.

Among the people on the carriage, she is the only villain.

She is a bad person for asking her sister-in-law to propose marriage, right?

Liu Yue'e said angrily, "Is what mother said about finding a husband for Taohua true or false?"

I regretted it after asking.

Tong Huaqiong shot a sharp look at him, sneering and saying, "Are you worried that Taohua will stay at home and control Taohua Dessert? Let me tell you, Taohua Dessert was founded by me and Taohua. Whether she gets married or not, Taohua Dessert will be managed by Taohua in the future."

Liu Yue'e forced a smile and said, "Mom, that's not what I meant."

Tong Huaqiong responded coldly: "That's what you mean."

Gu Dashu scolded, "Yue'e, you'd better not think of competing with your sister for the peach blossom dessert."

Liu Yue'e felt full of grievances.

The mother-in-law did not wrongly accuse her. She was indeed worried that her sister-in-law would really marry a son-in-law, and when the mother-in-law got old, her sister-in-law would definitely be in charge of the family's financial power.

She had no objection to dividing the family property with her sister-in-law, but she would not be happy if her sister-in-law took charge of all the businesses of the Gu family and became a real aunt.

She felt a little resentful towards Tong Huaqiong in her heart. It was the families with only daughters and no sons who were looking for a son-in-law. How could a family with three sons let their daughter find a son-in-law? That would be against the etiquette.

What’s even more infuriating is that her man doesn’t support her on this point.

The eldest sister-in-law listens to her mother-in-law in everything and will not form an alliance with her to oppose her.

Liu Yue'e's eyes fell on Chen Sufen.

Chen Sufen did not continue speaking. She had already made her attitude towards her sister-in-law's marriage clear.

She knew that as her stepson's wife it was better for her not to speak.

Selfishly, she sided with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law because she only had one daughter and her belly had not moved for so many years that she had given up the idea of ​​having a son.

Only with her sister-in-law as a comparison, can she get more for Maner in the future.

Tong Huaqiong glanced between Liu Yue'e and Chen Sufen. She knew very well what the two daughters-in-law were thinking.

No matter what, Chen Sufen would never dare to have any bad thoughts.

This is not necessarily the case for Liu Yue'e.

When Gu Dashu and Liu Yue'e quarreled over Xianxian, she chose to stand on the side of her daughter-in-law, but between her daughter-in-law and her daughter, she would definitely stand on the side of her daughter.

Judging from the general environment of that era, Liu Yue'e was considered a good sister-in-law.

She is usually nice to Gu Taohua and doesn't mind her sister-in-law dividing the family property.

However, she became unhappy once her sister-in-law got more resources from the family.

In her heart, her sister-in-law is an outsider, and everything she gets belongs to her son.

This kind of thinking is normal in other people's families, but not in Tong Huaqiong's.

From now on, Tong Huaqiong will not discriminate between her sons or daughters when it comes to her family business, only those with strong abilities can take over.

If she can't help her sons and daughters, she doesn't mind raising her grandchildren.

If Liu Yue'e cannot change her mind, Tong Huaqiong will make Liu Yue'e withdraw from the management of Taohua Desserts, or divide the business among the second son.
