Chapter 532 Don’t Become the Wife of the Opera

As Tong Zhaodi and Tong Zhijie entered Wu Ji, they looked around.

Although this shop is not as big as my aunt's Jufulai in terms of space and goods, nor as crowded and lively as my aunt's shop, it is still a shop in the county town after all.

Tong Zhaodi has already started to make plans. After she marries Wu Musheng, the shop will be hers. If she wants to do business, she can keep the shop and do business. If she doesn't want to do business, she can sell it and collect rent.

"Why is there no one in the shop?" Tong Zhijie asked.

People came into the shops of the neighbors from time to time, but Tong Zhijie was puzzled as to why Wu Ji had no customers at all.

Wu Na said stubbornly, "It's getting late, and the guests have all gone home."

She hurriedly dealt with Tong Zhaodi and Tong Zhijie, pointed to the three houses in the backyard and said, "My parents are there, you go there first, I have something else to do."

Tong Zhaodi said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. Zhijie and I will deliver the mountain products we brought from home to Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu."

Tong Zhaodi straightened her back. She was determined to work hard to win over the Wu Ren couple. As long as they agreed, she would marry Wu Musheng.

Wu Na ran quickly to the warehouse.

When Gu Ruinian heard Wu Na's movement, he raised his head and looked at her expectantly.

Wu Na said: "I have already passed the news to the Zheng family."

Gu Ruinian raised his head, held Wu Na's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Wu Na lowered her head and sneered, then quickly raised her head and said in a tender voice: "I won't dislike you either. When you can get out of bed, I will tell my father to finalize our marriage."

She was persuaded by Gu Ruinian and agreed to help him deliver the message to the Zheng family.

But when she arrived at the door of Zheng's house, she wanted to wake up. If she, Gu Ruinian, relied on the power of the second son of Zheng to rise to power, wouldn't he look down on her, the daughter of the village head?

If she wanted Gu Ruinian to marry her willingly, she had to keep him firmly in the hands of the Wu family.

So she tore up the note written by Gu Ruinian without hesitation and threw it into the river, then walked around outside and came back as if nothing had happened.

It is still uncertain who will be trapped.

Gu Ruinian said, "Don't worry, let's take our time. If you go and tell Uncle Wu now, he will definitely not agree because he is angry. Wait for me to find a way to improve our Wuji business. Once Uncle Wu is happy, he will agree."

Gu Ruinian was already scared by what happened at the Zheng family. He was afraid that Wu Ren would find out that he seduced Wu Na and break his other leg.

Wu Na is of great use to him, so he must marry her, but he has to make the Wu family willing to marry her to him.

When Wu Na heard that Gu Ruinian was avoiding marriage with her, she thought that Gu Ruinian really wanted to use her.

Fortunately, she was not foolish enough to be used by him.

Wu Na has already made up her mind. After she and Gu Ruinian get married, she will get rid of Grandpa Gu and Gu Youtian's family. She will rent out Wuji and let Gu Ruinian concentrate on his studies. In the future, she will be the wife of a scholar or a juren. She has never thought about the future. She thinks she will be satisfied if Ruinian can pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

As for going to Beijing for the imperial examination, she had no intention of letting Ruinian take it at all.

The poor boy in the opera went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and became the top scholar and then abandoned his wife. She didn't want to be like the wife in the opera.

She wants to keep a tight grip on Gu Ruinian.

Gu Ruinian looked at Wu Na's dark red face, and felt annoyed. He closed his eyes and said, "Wu Na, I'm a little sleepy."

I hope that Mr. Zheng II will receive this message and threaten the Xu family not to cause trouble for him.

"Okay, you go to sleep first, I'm going out. If you want to pass on any messages in the future, just let me know." Wu Na nodded, tucked the quilt for Gu Ruinian, then walked out with a smile.

Backyard Wu family.

Tong Zhaodi and Tong Zhijie came without saying hello, and Wu Ren and Qiao looked quite unhappy.

In their hearts, Tong Pan'di brought shame to them, Tong Huaqiong stole Wu Ji's business, and anyone with the surname Tong was not a good person, including Tong Fusheng and his gang.

Wu Musheng had no good expression towards Tong Zhijie, but greeted Tong Zhaodi with a smile.

Wu Musheng has not given up on Tong Pandi. In the past, Tong Pandi didn't like anyone in the Tong family except Tong Zhaodi. Maybe his ex-sister-in-law can help him get Tong Pandi back to the Wu family.

"What are you doing here at my house?" Qiao asked.

Tong Zhaodi said: "Dad Tong Pan has ruined the reputation of Mu Shengge and Wu Na. My parents are so angry that they asked me and my brother to atone for your sins."

Mrs. Qiao said calmly, "You don't need to atone for your sins. Our Wu family can't afford a girl from your Tong family."

Tong Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat, and she said with a smile, "Aunt Wu, Tong Pandi is no longer considered a daughter of the Tong family. She can neither give birth to a son nor be filial to her parents-in-law. Our Tong family will not have such a daughter in the future."

Then he said flatteringly, "Aunt Wu, Tong Pandi and I are sisters after all. She hurt you, and I will apologize to you on their behalf. I won't say a word whether you beat me or scold me. I just hope that our relationship as relatives can continue to be maintained."

Mrs. Qiao said, "I heard that your family has arranged a marriage for you, saying that you will be a concubine in the city?"

Tong Zhaodi blushed and didn't know how to start, but Qiao said gently: "Your father is quite capable. In this case, when you get married, we can become relatives."

Tong Zhijie wanted to say something, but Tong Pandi quickly spoke up, "Aunt Wu, look at what you said, I have always regarded you and Uncle Wu as my elders. This marriage was arranged by a good friend of my father's when he was young. My father's good friend is a scholar and can speak in front of Prefect Yao."

She finally realized that Qiao had misunderstood her marriage.

Her father did use their schoolmate relationship when they were young to help her get married to a successful candidate as a concubine. Her father was a scholar and had to maintain his dignity in public, so he thought it would be embarrassing to tell others about his concubine, so he vaguely said that she was his second wife.

The Wu family thought that the marriage she proposed was profitable, so they did not kick her out.

However, what the Wu family didn't know was that the master of this family disliked her because she had a divorced sister and refused to let her take him in as a concubine.

She looked down on ordinary farmers, and if she delayed any longer she would become an old spinster, so Tong Fusheng and Wang decided to make her a familiar figure and let her marry Wu Musheng.

Tong Zhaodi was used to acting according to people's moods. She thought that the current Qiao might resist when she heard about the girl from the Tong family, so she would not reveal her purpose and would find an opportunity to make the matter a fait accompli with Wu Mu first.

But before that, she had to keep Qiao and Wu Ren in suspense. This was Wang's plan for her. She wanted them to misunderstand that she had already said that she had given the provincial governor as a concubine. By then, she and Wu Mu would be well acquainted with each other, and she could use this as an excuse to ask for more benefits from the Wu family.

When Mrs. Qiao heard about Tong Zhaodi's marriage, her expression softened. At the same time, she despised Tong Fusheng for being such a bad person that he married his daughter to an old man as a concubine just for the sake of benefits.

But this is none of the Wu family’s business. It’s enough as long as the Wu family can benefit from it.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiao's expression was not as ugly as before, Tong Zhaodi praised Wu Ren and Mrs. Qiao, then presented the game she brought from home, and then rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Sweeping the yard, washing clothes, washing vegetables... Tong Zhaodi was busy, and Qiao saw it, and the anger on her face subsided a little.
