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

Chapter 678: Are you here to recognize your relatives or to steal the family property?

Second Aunt Li calmed herself down.

These three people obviously didn't respond to the hard approach, so she tried the soft approach and began to beg Su Qing.

"Good girl, please return the silver to me. Fifty taels of silver is a farmer's lifetime savings. This silver is for my son to marry a wife. Please have mercy on me. I don't want to be an embroiderer. Just return the silver to me."

No matter what Second Aunt Li said, Su Qing had never seen the silver, and all this was slander by Second Aunt Li.

He even claimed that he had nothing to fear and asked Li's second aunt to file a complaint with the authorities.

Second Aunt Li fell into despair.

To accuse Su Qing of embezzling her money, she needs a witness.

Even if she didn't understand the law, she knew that her own son could not serve as a witness. If things went wrong, she might be convicted of mother and son colluding to slander Su Qing and be beaten in court.

When Second Aunt Li was in despair, Li Mingxiu showed the box in his hand to Second Aunt Li and whispered in her ear: "I forgot to tell you that I got back the headgear you stole. Also, I have established a daughter household, so you should stop thinking of selling me as a concubine. If you do too many bad things, you will receive a more severe retribution than losing fifty taels of silver."

Second Aunt Li's eyes widened and stared at the headgear in Li Mingxiu's hand.

That's her thing.

It was actually taken away by that bitch Li Mingxiu.

Even the dumbest person would understand that the lucrative position of an embroidery lady in a weaving workshop, and that she could become an embroidery lady by giving Su Qing fifty taels of silver...all of this was the calculation of Li Mingxiu and Su Qing.

Well, they teamed up to plot against her.

"Bitch, give me back my head!"

"Give me back my money!"

Second Aunt Li roared and rushed towards Li Mingxiu, and Li Mingxiu kicked Second Aunt Li hard in the knee.

"Ouch."

Second Aunt Li felt pain and fell to the ground.

Li Mingxiu's kick exhausted all his strength. Second Aunt Li did not get up for a long time and fell to the ground crying in despair.

Crying about Li Mingxiu and Su Qing cheating her, crying about her money...

The three of them returned to the weaving workshop. Tong Huaqiong learned that Li Mingxiu's daughter Hu Licheng had married, and that she had taken back her things from the Li family. She felt happy for Li Mingxiu.

Li Mingxiu planned to buy a small house in town when the weather got warmer, but she didn't have enough money and had to work for another two years.

Anyway, she can live in the weaving workshop.

Sleeping in a pile of cotton in winter is warm and comfortable; sleeping in a porch in summer is cool and comfortable.

If Tong Huaqiong hadn't told her that a girl should have her own place to live, she really didn't want to buy a house.

Li Mingxiu's establishment of a female household caused a stir in the weaving workshop, and Gu Xiaoxue was very envious.

She also wanted to establish a female household and leave the Gu family.

But she could only think about it.

Li Mingxiu's parents are both dead, and the clan bullies her as an orphan, so she can stand on her own.

But since her parents, grandparents, elder brother and sister-in-law were all alive, she could not establish herself.

......

It’s almost the end of the first month of the lunar year.

The He family in Pingyang County that Tong Huaqiong and Hong had been "looking forward to" finally arrived.

There were a large group of people, both men and women.

After finding out the address of Shopkeeper He in advance, a group of people rushed over.

When Mrs. Hong got the news, she specially asked Tong Huaqiong to wait at home with her.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin also rushed over to cheer.

A crowd of people poured in. Among them, an old lady with silver hair started crying and shouting "Chao's daughter-in-law" as soon as she stepped into the room. She was abruptly interrupted when she saw Hong and Tong Huaqiong, because she didn't know which of the two women was He Chao's daughter-in-law.

She only heard that He Chao's wife was very beautiful, and the two of them standing on the right were dressed more beautifully.

So he stretched out his hand to Tong Huaqiong, but before he could even say "Super daughter-in-law", Tong Huaqiong turned away and said, "You got the wrong person."

The silver-haired old woman was not embarrassed at all. She turned her head and grabbed Hong's hand, calling her tenderly.

Hong: “…”

The corners of Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.

This is also thick-skinned.

The old woman held Hong's hand and cried. If you didn't know, you would think that the shopkeeper had died on the border.

Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin looked at each other. This group of people seemed to have bad intentions.

The two men cheered up and tried to persuade them, then they pushed the silver-haired old woman away from Hong, and a group of people rushed into the house.

He Chao's clansmen made a living in Hejia Village by farming, digging in the mud, and their lives were not rich. Therefore, when they saw He Chao's mansion, they exchanged glances with each other tacitly, and went into the house to look around.

This time they came to the right place.

"What are your names?" Tong Huaqiong asked on behalf of Hong.

The silver-haired old woman did not answer. She felt uncomfortable and looked at Tong Huaqiong and asked, "Who are you?"

Isn’t it said that He Chao’s wife is an orphan? How come she has sisters?

Tong Huaqiong said with a half-smile: "I am the boss of Shopkeeper He."

The silver-haired old woman felt relieved. The boss was not an official and could not interfere in the He family's affairs.

"I am the mother-in-law of Mr. He."

"I am a neighbor of the mother-in-law of Shopkeeper He's family."

When Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qin saw the silver-haired woman sweeping her eyes towards them, they cursed the old hag in their hearts while revealing their identities.

Aunt Qin saw that among the women there was the cousin of Second Aunt Li. Since the cousin from the Zhang family pretended not to know her, there was no need for her to rush up to greet her.

The silver-haired woman's eyes swept across the two of them, then returned to Hong, her eyes reddening.

Tong Huaqiong thought that this acting was a bit too much.

"Chao's daughter-in-law, I am your second aunt, and this is your eldest uncle."

Tong Huaqiong frowned: "Oh, they look like a couple, so it turns out they are the eldest uncle and his younger sister."

The silver-haired old lady and the old man with crutches were both embarrassed.

The silver-haired woman became angry when she saw that Mrs. Hong neither offered tea nor offered her seat, but when she thought of her next plan, she held back her emotion and pointed at the silver-haired old man with crutches beside her. The old man who was pointed out had no emotion on his face and exuded a cold aura.

"This is your third aunt, this is your second uncle... your third uncle, your third aunt... your eldest cousin, your second cousin, your fifth cousin... your eldest sister-in-law, your second sister-in-law, your fifth brother's wife." The silver-haired woman pointed at everyone and introduced them one by one.

Mrs. Hong smiled but didn't say hello or nod.

The silver-haired woman paused, pushed the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing behind her toward Hong, and said, "This is my third grandson."

"Zhu Zi, come and kowtow."

Tong Huaqiong and Hong looked at each other and frowned slightly.

Why kowtow?

There is only one possibility, which is that they want to adopt the child to He Chao and Hong as their adopted son.

The boy named Zhuzi fell to his knees beside Hong and kowtowed three times.

Tong Huaqiong had been observing the child since he came in.

When he looked around the room just now, there was greed in his eyes. It seemed that he had already regarded the property of Manager He and Mrs. Hong as his own.

This is what He Jiayaozu is like!

Tong Huaqiong said indifferently: "It's not a festival, why are you bowing?"

Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, looked at Tong Huaqiong with eyes full of hatred, and quickly lowered his head to hide his anger.

Hong frowned, looked at the silver-haired woman, and asked in confusion: "My family, Old He's family, is all dead, so where do we have any relatives? May I ask, where did your second aunt, first uncle, and aunt come from?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.

The He family never expected that even after they found He Chao's home, the Hong family would not acknowledge this relationship.

The eldest uncle of the He family pounded his cane on the ground and said angrily, "He Chao has become successful, right? He doesn't even recognize his relatives from his hometown."

Hong concealed the disdain on her face.

When He Chao was an orphan, they never considered him a relative.

Although they are called relatives, they are actually just cousins. At most, they are within the five degrees of mourning, so they are not real uncles or aunts.

A group of strangers came and tried to take advantage of her.

It's just a daydream.

Are they here to recognize their relatives or to steal the family property?

Even a fool can see that.
