Chapter 353 Returning on a Snowy Night
It was not until the middle of the night that Tong Huaqiong and others finally arrived at Qinghe Bay.
Return to people on a snowy night.
Gu Dahan opened the door.
The snow had stopped, but the wind was still blowing. Tong Huaqiong got off the carriage and was almost unable to stand because of the wind carrying the snow.
"Mom, why are you back at this time? How is my cousin? Did she give birth?"
Gu Taohua heard the noise and rushed out of the house wearing her coat.
Tong Huaqiong rubbed his hands and said, "Pandi gave birth to a daughter, and I brought all three of them here."
Gu Taohua cursed when she heard this: "Is the Wu family bullying my cousin again? Shameless people, they even bully a woman who has just given birth."
Su Chengmin shouted, "Taohua, stop scolding and come to help."
Gu Taohua came to the front of the carriage. With the help of the light from the snow and the lantern, she first saw Hong holding the child in her arms. Then she saw Tong Pandi lying in the carriage with a pale face.
Gu Taohua helped Hong get off the carriage.
When Su Chengmin wanted to hug Tong Pandi, Gu Taohua stopped him and said, "You are being too rude. Let me hug my cousin."
Gu Taohua carried Tong Pandyi and his quilt into the house.
Gu Dahan and Chen Sufen thought that Tong Huaqiong was afraid of the cold and might come back at any time, so they kept the floor heating on in the house.
Tong Huaqiong pulled Duo'er into the house, and her hands, which had been stiffened by the cold wind, instantly warmed up.
Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e got up when they heard the noise, and Man'er Xiaolong Yaozu also followed them to Tong Huaqiong's room.
When Xiaolong saw Su Chengmin coming into the room later, he didn't care about the coldness on his body and crawled into his arms, hugging his neck tightly.
When Chen Sufen saw the baby in Hong's arms, she quickly took out the small cotton-padded jacket she had sewed for the baby in her belly.
"Mom, what's going on?" Liu Yue'e asked after looking at Tong Pandi and Huaer lying on the bed.
Tong Huaqiong said: "I hope my brother can stay at our house to recuperate after giving birth."
There is no other explanation.
No one dared to ask.
Tong Huaqiong chased him away: "Alright, let's talk about it tomorrow, go to bed first."
Liu Yue'e asked, "Who will serve my cousin?"
Tong Huaqiong said casually: "You come and serve."
Liu Yue'e: "......"
Tong Huaqiong was really tired, so she planned to find a villager the next day to give her some money to take care of Tong Pandidi during her confinement.
Where could she find someone so late at night? She was too tired to serve him. Chen Sufen was pregnant and couldn't serve him. Gu Taohua would go to Taohua Dessert tomorrow. The only one who could serve Tong Pandi was Liu Yue'e, who was still copying at home.
She knew that this was unfair to Liu Yue'e, but she didn't care.
She is going to be a wicked mother-in-law today.
......
Tong Pandi slept very soundly until the baby's cry of hunger woke her up.
She sat up and began to nurse.
Tong Pandi looked around. It was a brand new house with warm heating, brand new furniture, and thick bedding. Was this still the aunt's house in his memory?
The last time Zhaodi went to her place, she mentioned her aunt, saying that her aunt now owns a large pastry shop in the town, and that her family eats and wears the same things as the wealthy families in Pingchuan County. She thought Zhaodi was exaggerating.
Now that I live in my aunt's house, I realize that what Zhaodi said was true.
There is such a ground heating system even in her parents-in-law's house.
Liu Yue'e came in and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Why are you here to recuperate after giving birth?"
Tong Pandi knew that this second cousin's wife was always difficult to get along with, especially with her words. In her previous life, she mocked her as a chicken that could not lay eggs.
But in her previous life, her cousin and her aunt had scolded the Wu family to vent her anger, and thinking of Liu Yue'e's tragic fate in the end, Tong Pandi could only feel sympathy for Liu Yue'e.
"Sister Yue'e, I want to get a divorce. Auntie, please come and take me home."
Liu Yue'e's face darkened. In order to prevent Liu Yue'e from saying anything unpleasant, Tong Pandi quickly said, "I'll leave after I finish my confinement."
At this time, Chen Sufen came in and said, "My cousin is awake."
Seeing the child in Tong Pandi's arms, she smiled and said, "This child is so beautiful, with such fair skin and a straight nose. She is obviously a little beauty at first glance."
Chen Sufen went to play with Huaer.
Tong Pandi called out "cousin-law" and his eyes became wet.
This cousin who was not related to her in any way had been very kind to her in her previous life, but her ending was...
But wait, before Tong Pandi could even shed tears, he suddenly realized that unlike in his previous life, Chen Sufen was not miserable at all, and what she wore was no worse than that of his second cousin's wife.
And judging from her words and actions, she doesn't seem like someone who is living off her aunt.
Could it be that my aunt was also reborn?
No, if my aunt were to be reborn, she would only kill Chen Sufen and Maner.
After all, it was Maner who caused the whole family of my aunt to be wiped out.
With my aunt's vengeful nature, she would have to kill Chen Sufen and Maner after her rebirth.
How can I still let Chen Sufen walk in front of me wearing a hairpin and satin?
Could it be that some people and things in the world she was reborn into were different from what she remembered?
Tong Pandi felt a little confused.
Just as Tong Pandi was thinking about it, Liu Yue'e, who was shocked by Tong Pandi's divorce, came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Cousin, why are you getting a divorce? The Wu family is not good to you, but you can't get a divorce impulsively. How are you going to live with two children? I don't think your uncle and aunt will accept you and your daughter."
Tong Pan'di's eyes darkened.
Liu Yue'e was telling the truth. The Tong family would not accept her.
Chen Sufen was also shocked when she learned that Pan Di was getting divorced.
She wondered why Pan Di came to Gu's house to recuperate after giving birth, and it turned out that they had divorced.
However, Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e thought differently. She thought that the Wu family must have done something to Tong Pan'di that she could not bear, otherwise no woman would be willing to go the route of divorce.
Chen Sufen said: "My cousin must have had a compelling reason to divorce."
Tong Pandi looked at Chen Sufen with gratitude.
Liu Yue'e curled her lips. What was the compelling reason?
She had no objection to Tong Pandi's divorce, but she had an objection to him going to Gu's house to recuperate after giving birth.
It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Tong Panddi is a woman who has divorced and cannot go back to her parents' home. She also has no ability to support herself, so she will definitely settle down in the Gu family in the future.
It sounds good, but you'll leave after the confinement period. Where can you go?
What made her even more unhappy was that the job of taking care of Tong Pandidi during her confinement fell on her.
"No, cousin, do you know that you and your uncle and aunt are divorced?" Liu Yue'e asked.
Tong Pandi shook his head.
Chen Sufen tried to smooth things over by saying, "It's more important to recuperate first."
Gu Taohua pulled aside the curtain and came in, holding a bowl of chicken noodle soup with two eggs on top and a bowl of hot milk.
Liu Yue'e was deeply shocked. She was not treated like this during her confinement.
"Oh, mother really loves her niece, giving her milk and chicken soup."
Gu Taohua didn't hear the sarcasm in Liu Yue'e's tone, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's not right for cousin to eat these during confinement. Cousin, you must be hungry, drink this bowl of milk first. This milk was bought by mother from Uncle Xu who raises cattle in our village early in the morning to nourish your body."
Gu Taohua placed two bowls in front of Tong Pandi.
Tong Pandi was indeed hungry.
In order to produce more milk and grow flowers, she pretended not to understand Liu Yue'e's sarcasm and drank all the milk in one breath.
Since you've gone to live with your aunt, there's no need to be pretentious.
"Cousin, mother said you got divorced. Cousin, you finally stood up for once. When you were at your mother's house, you worked every day and suffered from your uncle and aunt Zhijie. When you went to your husband's house, you suffered from your parents-in-law and men. I thought you were a silent person."
Gu Taohua looked at Hua'er who had her big black eyes open and said, "They say a mother is strong, it's true."
Tong Pandi smiled, his cousin thought she became brave only after becoming a mother.
But she was moved by her cousin's words.
Although her cousin Taohua had a bad temper in her previous life, she was the girl she envied the most.
