Chapter 356 Candied Haws
After talking about Tong Pandi’s plan, everyone started talking about going to the Wu family in Heilongtan the next day.
Tong Huaqiong must go with him. Su Chengmin cannot go because he has classes. Gu Jingzhe plans to go with him on the day off from school.
In addition, Gu Jingzhe also invited Master Su to come forward.
According to Gu Jingzhe, Master Su is the most respected master in Yanguan Town and Heilongtan area. With his help, they can convince the head of the Wu family and other people in the clan to agree to Tong Pandidi's divorce as soon as possible.
After all, it would do no good for Tong Pandi to drag it out.
Tong Huaqiong thought what Gu Jingzhe said made sense, so she agreed.
"What's going on outside? Why is it so sweet? Who is making syrup?" Tong Huaqiong asked after sniffing.
"Several children want to eat candied haws, and Lai Fu is making them." said Chen Sufen.
"The candied haws are here."
Su Chengmin brought Gu Yaozu to deliver the candied haws.
The private school is on holiday today and the children want to eat candied haws. Su Chengmin said he could make candied haws, so he used hawthorn and sugar to make candied haws.
After tinkering with it for most of the day, the candied haws were finally ready.
Su Chengmin also made a straw basket out of wheat straw and inserted the candied haws one by one on it.
Maner and Xiaolong cheered when they saw the bright red candied haws.
Tong Huaqiong was also attracted by the candied haws, and asked Maner, Xiaolong and other children which one they liked, and she took it down for them.
Maner, Xiaolong and Yaozu all chose the one they liked.
Several children happily held up the candied haws and started to bite them.
Tong Huaqiong asked Duoer, who was timid and didn't dare to come forward, "Duoer, which one do you like?"
Duoer swallowed and said, "I want this one."
Pointing to the smallest bunch of hawthorns.
Tong Huaqiong picked and chose, selected a big bunch, plucked it and handed it to Duo'er.
Duo'er didn't dare to answer it.
Tong Huaqiong said gently: "Take it and eat it."
Duo'er is one year younger than Man'er. Although she has become bolder at Tong Huaqiong's house these days, she is still timid most of the time.
"Duo'er, your great aunt gave it to you, and you haven't said thank you yet." Tong Pandi said to Duo'er.
Duo'er only dared to reach out to take it when she saw Tong Pandid speak.
Tong Pandi saw all of this.
Duo'er was raised to be too timid in the Wu family. After all, it was because her mother did not protect her in the past, always thinking that all girls grew up like this.
She was like this in the Tong family and also in the Wu family.
In her previous life, she was badly hurt by this idea, and so was Duoer.
During the year since her rebirth, although she tried her best to brainwash Duoer that she was her mother's darling, the influence of the Wu family's environment was more powerful, causing Duoer to still be cowardly.
After leaving the Wu family environment, I hope Duoer can become as lively as Maner.
"Maner is studying in a private school. Do you want to let Duoer go too so that she can keep Maner company?" Tong Huaqiong asked Tong Pandi.
"Aunt, Duoer is not suitable to go to private school now." Tong Pandi said.
"Okay, let's wait until she is suitable to go." Tong Huaqiong did not persuade her.
Duo'er is indeed not suitable for going to a private school. Firstly, she has not yet begun to learn and cannot keep up with the progress. Secondly, she is timid and cowardly and will get bored with studying if she is bullied in a private school.
However, Duoer can learn to read with Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e.
Tong Huaqiong still believes that, even for girls in this era, being literate is better than being illiterate.
"These candied haws can't be eaten only by children, we should eat them too." Tong Huaqiong took a bite of the candied haws and invited Hong, Chen Sufen and others to eat together.
So everyone chatted while eating candied haws.
The door creaked open and Tong Huaqiong looked outside through the window.
I saw five people walk in.
It was Tong Fusheng's family and Wu Musheng who came.
There is no need to think that they came for Tong Panddi.
Tong Huaqiong put the half-eaten candied haws on the plate and said to Tong Pandi, "Pandi, your parents and Wu Musheng are here."
Tong Pandi said: "Let them do what they want, I want a divorce anyway."
Tong Huaqiong said, "Okay, you come and get rid of them. I'm afraid if I get rid of them, they will think that divorce is not your real intention and will pester you again and again in the future."
Tong Huaqiong also wanted to see if Tong Pandi could withstand the pressure from his parents.
Tong Pandi stood up, handed the child to Hong to hold, and then walked out.
Tong Huaqiong followed him out and stood in the corridor.
Wu Musheng's eyes lit up when he saw Tong Panddi.
Tong Pandi had a good confinement period at Tong Huaqiong's home, her life was going well, and she looked very relaxed.
She was beautiful, and wearing new clothes, she had a unique charm in Wu Musheng's eyes.
This look made Tong Pandi feel sick.
She thought of the day when she met Wu Musheng. She went to the market in Heilongtan, and Wu Musheng saw her in the crowd, with the same look in his eyes.
In her previous life, this look made her mistakenly believe that she had met her true lover.
Tong Pandi only hated herself for not being reborn at the moment when she met Wu Musheng by chance. She would have poked his eyes out.
Tong Fusheng and Wang wanted to scold Tong Pandyi when they saw her, but they suppressed their anger when they thought about what had happened to Tong Pandyi in the past year and Tong Huaqiong who was beside him.
"Pan Di."
"Pan Di."
Tong Pandi asked coldly: "Why are you coming to my aunt's house? You are not welcome here."
Tong Fusheng and Wang looked embarrassed.
Wu Musheng stepped forward and shouted, "Brother Pan, I'm here to take you home."
Tong Pandi spat and said, "I have already made it clear to you. We want to divorce."
Without waiting for Wu Musheng to speak, Tong Fu said angrily: "Pan Di, what do you want to divorce? There is no divorced daughter in my Tong family."
Tong Pandi said: "You think I want to be a girl of the Tong family? Since my father said so, I will no longer be a girl of the Tong family in the future."
Tong Fu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. If Tong Huaqiong hadn't been standing by, he would have beaten Tong Pandidi, the unfilial daughter, to death.
It was so embarrassing. Tong Fusheng was a respectable scholar, but his family had a divorced girl. How could he hold his head up high?
Wang said at the side: "His father, Mu Sheng, please talk to Tong Pan Di properly, don't be impulsive. Pan Di, Mu Sheng is here to apologize to you this time. Well, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk slowly."
Tong Huaqiong glanced at Wang.
This cheap sister-in-law has been chased away by Tong Huaqiong twice. What kind of confidence supports her to feel that she can enter Tong Huaqiong's house this time?
Tong Pandi said coldly, "Mom, this is my aunt's home. My aunt took me in out of kindness. I can't let you in. If you have anything to say, just say it here. Actually, there is nothing to say. You just don't want me to get a divorce. It's useless for you to persuade me. I have made up my mind to get a divorce."
Tong Pan'di's stubborn attitude left Tong Fusheng and Wang at a loss as to what to do.
Wu Musheng said, "You are my Wu family's daughter-in-law after all. If I don't agree to a divorce, you can't get a divorce. And we have two daughters. Even if you don't think about others, you have to think about our two daughters. If you leave the Wu family, you will never see our two daughters again in your life."
The shameless Wu Musheng didn't care about his two daughters at all, but that didn't stop him from using them to threaten Tong Panddi.
Tong Pandi looked at Wu Musheng and felt annoyed. She suddenly wanted to play a trick on Wu Musheng. Tong Pandi's face changed several times. After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You reminded me that I still have two daughters. I have to consider them. You can let me go back, but I have conditions."
