Chapter 390 The parents-in-law and the brother-in-law are back

On February 16, Tong Huaqiong took her children to the provincial capital to attend the wedding of Lu Chaoyang and Huang Jingshan.

This time, except for Tong Pandi and Huaer, everyone in the Gu family went to the provincial capital, even the pregnant Chen Sufen and non-staff member Nie Xiaofeng went.

The Lu family's wedding caused a sensation in the entire city. Almost all the merchants came to celebrate, and the banquet lasted for three days.

After the wedding, Tong Huaqiong stayed in the shop in the city for another three days. In addition to preparing the goods for the Lu family’s ship, it was already the end of February when she returned to Qinghe Bay.

"Mother-in-law, you are finally back."

As soon as Tong Huaqiong returned home, Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao, came to the door with a mysterious look on her face and said something.

Tong Huaqiong didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and asked directly, "What do you want to tell me, mother-in-law?"

Zhao said, "During the days you were away, your brother-in-law's family and your parents-in-law came back."

Tong Huaqiong had anticipated that her parents-in-law would return home, but she didn't expect her brother-in-law and his family to come back with them.

Tong Huaqiong said: "When people get old, they want to return to their roots. I guess my second uncle and his family will go back soon after we send them back."

My brother-in-law and his family have been doing business in the north and south for many years. It is impossible for them to give up their business there and go home.

Zhao curled her lips and said, "Going back? You think too much. I heard from Dashu's second uncle that he will not go back, and will live in Qinghe Bay from now on. The whole family even moved their pots and pans here."

Tong Huaqiong smiled and didn't take it seriously. If they came back, they would come back. Anyway, Tong Dajiao had a bad relationship with her uncle's family in her previous life, so she naturally didn't need to continue maintaining the relationship in this life.

Anyway, Qinghe Bay doesn't belong to her, Tong Huaqiong, so she has no objection to who lives there.

Zhao said angrily, "Your parents-in-law gave all their money to your second wife as capital for business. When you were studying, they didn't give you a penny even if you begged them to. Now they are back home, and it's because they see that your family is doing well, so they want to take care of you in your old age."

Tong Huaqiong said: "It's not difficult to raise them. I will always visit them every morning and evening and give them my wealth."

The most she could do, within the scope of filial piety, is to give them something to eat and ensure they don't starve to death.

"That's true," Zhao continued, and then mentioned Tong Huaqiong's brother-in-law, hesitating, "When your second uncle and his family came to the village, there was a big show. They invited the clan leader and some important people in the village to dinner. It's said outside that your second branch has become rich. In my opinion, it's just a decoration. Who would live in a house without repairing it after becoming rich? Who would not buy land after returning home?"

When Zhao mentioned Tong Da Jiao's brother-in-law, Tong Huaqiong became interested and asked, "Did your brother-in-law's two sons and one daughter come back together?"

Zhao said, "He's back. The eldest son got married and had a child. The most surprising one is the second son. He was so naughty before, but now he's a good student. He passed the examination for Tongsheng last year and will take the examination for Xiucai this year just like Jingzhe. The head of the Gu family has been praising the second son of your second branch to the sky these days, saying that his academic performance is better than Jingzhe's. The second daughter hasn't left the house since she came back, so we don't know how she's doing."

Zhao told Tong Huaqiong about the situation of her brother-in-law's family.

Tong Huaqiong's focus was on the second son of the second wife.

Is the second kid's academic performance better than Gu Jingzhe?

Tong Huaqiong searched Tong Dajiao's memory and found nothing that matched the second boy's scholarly personality.

In the previous life, the second boy of the second branch of the Gu family was a blockhead when it came to studying, and spent his time focusing on eating, drinking and having fun.

A typical ancient version of a spirited small town guy.

Later, this spirited young man thought that he could interfere in the conflict between Tong Da Jiao and Lu Zhao Zhao, and he went to Tong Da Jiao's house and tried to make a move on Lu Zhao Zhao. Tong Da Jiao's bad treatment of Lu Zhao Zhao was a case of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the second family's bad treatment of her daughter-in-law was a slap in her face, how could she tolerate it? So Gu Jingzhe was summoned back home, and Gu Jingzhe cut the tendons of this cheap cousin's hands. After he won the third place in the imperial examination and returned home in glory, he asked the clan leader to expel him from the Gu family.

Now Zhao said that this spirited young man had transformed into a diligent scholar. Tong Huaqiong thought that it was probably the head of the Gu family who promoted him to suppress Gu Jingzhe.

"And your sister-in-law..." Zhao mentioned Tong Huaqiong's sister-in-law.

Tong Huaqiong looked confused: "Which sister-in-law?"

Zhao glanced at Tong Huaqiong twice. As a mother-in-law, she was very devoted to her own children, and only her sister-in-law could get into her heart.

She hasn't seen her sister-in-law for a few years. Has she forgotten about her sister-in-law?

Yes, this sister-in-law has been competitive since she was young, and has been spoiled by the two elders of the Gu family. She has no respect for her elder sister-in-law who has older breasts than her.

Zhao had always found it strange. How come her mother-in-law was so powerful, but she had no temper towards her sister-in-law?

Those who don’t know would think that it was her sister-in-law who saved her life.

Zhao thought for a moment and said, "She said she was engaged but then broke off the engagement. I think her temper has become worse than before. A few days ago, she came to your house and wanted to open your jewelry box. Pandi tried to stop her, but she scolded him. Pandi thought she was the elder after all, so he didn't bother with her."

Tong Huaqiong was still wondering, does she have a sister-in-law?

It seems that Zhao has a close relationship with her sister-in-law, otherwise she would not have mentioned her sister-in-law so casually.

Tong Huaqiong searched Tong Dajiao's memory.

If there is one person who is related to Tong Dajiao's parents-in-law, it is her sister-in-law Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian is the daughter of her parents-in-law who was born later in life. She is two months older than Gu Jingzhe and Gu Taohua, and was raised by Tong Dajiao's breasts.

When Gu Honglian was young, she was very close to Tong Dajiao and treated her sister-in-law as her mother. This aroused the jealousy of her mother-in-law. Later, under the instigation of her mother-in-law, Gu Honglian's attitude towards her changed drastically.

In her previous life, Tong Da Jiao was deeply heartbroken because of this incident.

Tong Huaqiong never thought that Tong Dajiao would actually nurse a girl who had no blood relationship with her in her previous life.

Because of this, after her sister-in-law betrayed her, Tong Dajiao was so heartbroken that she refused to keep in touch with her sister-in-law even if she became rich.

It is said that the deeper the love, the greater the pain.

Tong Huaqiong said to Zhao: "Mother-in-law, you know that they have been gone for several years and I haven't contacted them. When Lao Gu died, they came back to attend the funeral and then left. I don't know much about them. So, thanks to you for telling me about their situation, I can be prepared."

Zhao smiled with satisfaction.

Now her Yue'e and her son's family are on the same vine as her mother-in-law. It is not easy to get along with her parents-in-law and her brother-in-law's family, so she always has to keep an eye on them for her mother-in-law.

Besides, she didn't do anything. She just told her mother-in-law the news she knew.

"You haven't been home these few days, and your father-in-law has sent someone to your house every day to see if you've returned home. This time you're back, I guess your parents-in-law will ask you to come over. Just listen to my advice, just deal with them and don't make them angry."

Zhao warned Tong Huaqiong with a concerned look on her face. She was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would not get along with her parents-in-law and would go against them.

My mother-in-law is running a business, and it would be best for a business person not to ruin her reputation of being disrespectful to her parents-in-law.
