The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 586: Master Su’s Secret

As for what secrets Su Fu had.

That was when Gu Ruinian stood under the window of the private school and listened to Master Su telling the students with a serious face that this winter would be extremely cold, and asked them to go home and tell their families to prepare for the winter.

Not to mention this era, even in the future with advanced technology, it is impossible to predict future weather with 100% accuracy.

Unless there is someone who can predict the future.

Gu Ruinian didn't believe that there was such a person. The so-called person who could see through the secrets of heaven and predict the future was either a time traveler like him or a reborn person.

This dynasty is completely fictitious and does not appear in the history books of later generations. Therefore, it can be inferred that Master Su may be a reborn person.

Although he was met with a cold face when he visited Master Su, Gu Ruinian felt that the trip was worth it, at least he learned about the extremely cold weather.

What if he told this news to the second master Zheng?

If you stockpile charcoal and cotton and raise the prices in the winter, wouldn't you be able to make a fortune?

Gu Ruinian couldn't help but whistle. The news came at the right time. It seemed that God had not yet let him die.

Of course, what Gu Ruinian didn’t know was that the reason why Master Su knew that the weather this year would be extremely cold had nothing to do with the fact that he was a reborn person.

This story needs to start with Tong Pandidi.

As a reborn person, Tong Pandi knew that this year would experience extremely cold weather, so he told Master Su the news.

I hope to remind everyone through Master Su’s mouth. After all, everyone in the countryside recognizes Master Su.

Master Su was pleased with Tong Pandi, and he did not even ask her the reason, but believed what she said.

He thought that in winter, every household would prepare cotton clothes and burn firewood and charcoal to keep out the cold. At worst, everyone could stock up more this year. There would only be benefits and no harm.

"You are just eating and not doing anything. The money I spent on raising you since you were little is enough to beat a man as old as you, but now I have not given you anything in return. I asked you to carry water, but both water tanks are still empty. You are just lame, not broken. If you want to eat white rice, see if you still have the life to do it."

"My life is so miserable. God and the earth provide for my family's food and drink. My sons can't let me enjoy the happiness, and my grandchildren are not good enough. What's the point of living? I will hang myself in front of my eldest brother's grave tomorrow."

As soon as Gu Ruinian returned home, he heard Old Lady Gu cursing.

There is no need to ask who is being scolded.

It's him!

He was responsible for the two large water tanks in the house every day. Today he forgot to fetch water, and when Old Mrs. Gu saw the empty tanks she started scolding.

Gu Ruinian has now learned to keep a low profile and went to the yard and picked up two large buckets of water.

When Old Lady Gu saw Gu Ruinian, she glared at him and started scolding him even harder.

Gu Ruinian was scolded severely. Jia, who was lighting a fire in the kitchen, tried to defend Gu Ruinian, but Old Lady Gu scolded her as well.

Gu Ruinian had a lot of things to say, so he took some money from Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu and went to Pingchuan to find the second young master Zheng to tell him the news of the extremely cold weather.

The second son of Zheng did send people to deliver raw materials for making gunpowder to him twice, but he did not say when they would come next time. He was afraid that if they came in winter, the business opportunity would have passed.

He didn't dare to speak in the face of Mrs. Gu's scolding.

Gu Ruinian was scolded because of the involvement of the first wife.

When Old Lady Gu saw that everyone in the village got cotton and cloth from Tong Huaqiong to sew cotton-padded clothes, she even gave some to Wei.

She heard from Gu Honglian that it was not free work and that the price would be calculated by piece.

Old Mrs. Gu felt that she could do this job.

She was good at embroidery. In the past, she had sewed cotton-padded clothes for Mr. Gu and the second wife's family. She felt that her skills were no worse than her grandson's wife, Wei.

Tong Huaqiong was asked directly, but she was unwilling to do so because it meant that the mother-in-law was bowing to her daughter-in-law.

She thought of someone, her eldest granddaughter-in-law Chen Sufen.

Chen Sufen is about to leave her confinement period, but Grandma Gu has never seen her great-granddaughter once.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Mrs. Gu tiptoed into Chen Sufen's room with a basket of eggs.

After talking about this and that, she asked Chen Sufen to help her get work from the weaving workshop.

Chen Sufen thought that her mother-in-law was treating her well now, but she was not bold enough to ask Tong Huaqiong for any benefits for the old house.

Otherwise, her mother-in-law would expel her and Gu Dahan without hesitation.

For the sake of her two daughters, she has to cling to her mother-in-law.

So Chen Sufen refused. Seeing that Mrs. Gu was unhappy, Chen Sufen advised: "You don't need to work. My mother sends you and grandpa rice, flour, grain, oil, meat and vegetables every month. If you get sick, she will pay for it. Don't worry about it and just enjoy your life."

Old Mrs. Gu fell backwards in anger.

Yes, the eldest daughter-in-law took care of their food and drink, but that was only to prevent her, the old man, and the little girl from starving to death.

No money was given at all.

Could she not want to save some dowry for Gu Honglian? Could she not want to make some money to feed her youngest son?

After hitting a wall with Chen Sufen, Old Mrs. Gu went home and started throwing things around, making a huge commotion.

"I usually think Sufen is a good person, how could she be so treacherous? Now she says her mother-in-law's farts smell good, forgetting all the times her mother-in-law used to tease her. No wonder she can't give birth to a son. For someone like her who gave birth to two daughters in a row, only my Gu family can tolerate her. If she were in the Wu family, she would be divorced just like Tong Pandi."

"Even the Xu family's daughter-in-law can get the job, why can't I? The eldest daughter-in-law is a black-hearted person. She would rather give the money-making skills to others than to me. She has bad intentions and thinks so badly of me. When I sew cotton-padded clothes, can I hide needles for her or reduce the cotton wool?"

As Old Lady Gu continued to curse, her scolding turned to Chen Sufen and Tong Huaqiong.

When Jia heard that her mother-in-law's target of scolding had changed, she couldn't help but echoed, "It's not just one or two days that the eldest sister-in-law has been evil-hearted."

Old Mrs. Gu glared and said, "I have a miserable life. Both of my daughters-in-law are evil-hearted."

Jia: “…”

Why is the fire burning on my head again?

Wei sat in the room, sewing cotton clothes and sneering.

She thought to herself, what your aunt is worried about is not that you will hide a needle or cut corners, but your second daughter-in-law.

In the evening, Chen Sufen told Tong Huaqiong that Old Lady Gu had asked her to assign her a job, and told Tong Huaqiong that in order to firmly reject Old Lady Gu, she did not even accept the eggs.

Tong Huaqiong said, "You refused very well, but you can accept the eggs next time."

Old Mrs. Gu’s embroidery work is very good. If Gu Youtian’s family were not there, Tong Huaqiong would not mind assigning it to Old Mrs. Gu.

She believed that Mrs. Gu would not make any mistakes in her embroidery.

There is no other reason, just because people like Mrs. Gu are most proud of their embroidery. She will not make any mistakes in the craft that she is proud of, as this represents a denial of herself.

Tong Huaqiong was worried about Gu Youtian and his wife Jia and their eldest son Gu Ruinian.

The couple has always been jealous of Tong Huaqiong's business, and they wish Tong Huaqiong would be in trouble soon.

Once they encounter a gap that allows them to do harm, they will immediately drill in.

Apart from anything else, it is possible that someone might secretly hide a needle in a cotton coat or secretly lose the cotton.

Tong Huaqiong would never rush to let them cause trouble.
