Chapter 636 She also deserves credit for the victory
Gu Baishuang slapped each of them again, making them stand still.
"I'm always so sincere to you guys, and you want to shit on my head, right? Let's see if you have the ability to do that."
"I'm going to hit you, and you just have to take it. Why do you want to hit me back? Do you dare to hit me when I give you my face?"
"I will divorce anyone who dares to act wildly in front of me. Don't forget that the first of the seven grounds for divorce is disobeying your parents-in-law. This one ground is enough for me to divorce you."
When the two stepdaughters-in-law heard that their stepmother-in-law wanted to divorce them, they were so scared that they held back their tears.
Gu Baishuang said, "If you don't want to talk nonsense, just shut your mouth. Don't let the air leak out like a broken shoe sole."
"Dahan, why are you here?" Gu Baishuang looked up and saw Gu Dahan coming, and his expression changed.
Gu Dahan knew his elder sister's temperament and had rarely suffered any loss at the hands of Tong Daji.
The eldest sister now is the elder sister he is familiar with. In the past, she was too good to her two daughters-in-law, to the point of being indulgent without any bottom line.
Gu Dahan strode into the room and said, "There's news about Xiaofeng."
Gu Baishuang almost fell when she stood up, fearing that it was bad news.
Zhang and Sun looked at each other. They both hoped that Gu Dahan brought bad news.
Gu Dahan had just heard what Zhang and Sun said, and knew that they were up to no good, so he deliberately said loudly, "Big sister, it's good news! They said that we won the battle with Mobei, Xiaofeng made a great contribution, shot and killed Mobei's chief general, and was promoted to deputy general."
Not only was Gu Baishuang shocked by the news, but her two step-daughters-in-law were also shocked.
Sun was the first to react. She smiled and asked, "Uncle, where did you get the news from?"
Is this news true?
Such important news usually goes from the county to the town and finally to the village. They haven't heard of the victory in the town, so how could Qinghewan know it first? I'm afraid it must be fake news.
How could Nie Xiaofeng shoot and kill the chief general of Mobei and become the deputy general?
He has been in the army for only a little over a year, so he probably can't even catch up with the enemy in terms of killing them.
Not to mention Zhang and Sun, even Gu Baishuang couldn't quite believe that her son was so outstanding.
Gu Dahan said, "The news from the capital city says that Xiaofeng will go to Shengjing to receive an award after the spring."
Gu Baishuang's eyes turned red with excitement, and she cursed, "I've been angry for a year because he secretly joined the army. When he comes back, I will definitely punish him more severely."
Gu Dahan said, "I dare not punish him. He is at least a deputy general. How will the people below view him if you punish him?"
Gu Baishuang said: "I am his mother. If I punish him, he has to accept it."
I cried again while talking.
Zhang and Sun were both very upset.
My brother-in-law is so lucky.
They thought that he was not a good student and could only practice martial arts, and would have to rely on his family for support in the future. When they learned that Nie Xiaofeng had joined the army, they were very happy and wished that he would die at the border.
In this way, the family property will belong to both of them from now on.
Now he not only won the battle, but also became a deputy general.
The legend of the cowherd boy in Heilongtan came true in my brother-in-law.
The two looked at each other. Since the younger brother-in-law was so promising, they were afraid that the father-in-law would shift his heart from their two families to the younger brother-in-law.
Now that my mother-in-law's business is booming, even my father-in-law finds it hard to keep her under control. Now that my mother-in-law has the support of her son, the deputy general, won't both of their families be left behind?
"What? Are you unhappy to hear the good news about Xiaofeng? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You want to covet Xiaofeng's share of the family property without considering whether you have the destiny to do so." Gu Baishuang sneered at the two daughters-in-law.
Zhang Shiqiang smiled and said, "Mom, you are joking. We are all family. We believed the rumors because we were concerned about our third brother. Is it because we are concerned that we are confused?"
Sun said, "Sister-in-law was joking. It was you who told me that Xiaofeng would not come back. Damn it, I actually took it seriously. I said that my third brother was a blessed man, and it turned out to be true."
Gu Baishuang was astonished by Sun's change of expression. She had just been trying to fight for the family property, but when she heard that Xiaofeng became the deputy general, she immediately came up to him.
Zhang was furious.
Didn’t the second son’s wife agree to form an alliance with the eldest son’s wife to seize the family property? Why did she turn against them at the last minute?
"Are you just confusing right and wrong? Who said that if Xiaofeng can't come back, we should suggest to the clan to adopt a child for Xiaofeng? I think you are just coveting Xiaofeng's share of the family property." Zhang sold Sun out to the ground, as if she was the one who wouldn't stab her in the back.
Sun argued, "Who coveted Third Brother's property? Think before you speak. Do parents live off their parents? Can I covet it just because I covet it? It was my eldest brother who falsified the accounts and took away less of Xiaofeng's share."
Zhang countered, "Didn't your second wife get a share of that money?"
Nie Mingyuan started a business with his two sons from his first wife. The two brothers were dissatisfied that a share of the family property would be given to Nie Xiaofeng in the future. The eldest and the second oldest brother decided to cook the books secretly and divide the deducted money equally between the two families.
Now the two daughters-in-law are at loggerheads, and the two wives have revealed the truth.
Gu Baishuang sneered. It was not difficult for Nie Mingyuan to see that his two stepsons were cooking the books, but he turned a blind eye.
After all, it was Nie Mingyuan who was on guard against her. In that case, she had lost the last bit of affection she had for Nie Mingyuan.
It was only when she started doing business with Tong Huaqiong that she realized how ridiculously false the accounts that Nie Mingyuan had put on the record over the years were, and how much Nie Mingyuan was wary of her.
Now her son is a deputy general, and her business with her stepmother is booming. Most of the Nie family's business is controlled by her. She will never give her heart to the Nie family again.
After driving the two daughters-in-law out of the house, Gu Baishuang and Gu Dahan sat down and talked.
Gu Baishuang was also happy to hear from Gu Dahan that Gu Dashu had made great contributions.
The brother and sister talked for a long time, and Gu Dahan stayed for dinner before returning to Qinghe Bay.
After arriving at Qinghe Bay, Gu Dahan told Tong Huaqiong about the quarrel between Gu Baishuang and his two stepsons' wives.
Tong Huaqiong sighed in her heart. In Tong Dajiao's world, Gu Baishuang was trapped in the inner house and was plotted against by Nie Mingyuan and his two stepsons. In the end, she was expelled with nothing.
In her world, Gu Baishuang will not repeat the fate of her previous life.
Now, because she is connected with the Lu family, which holds Nie Mingyuan's economic lifeline, and she has accumulated money from doing business with Tong Huaqiong, she is the only one who will abandon the Nie family, not the Nie family who will abandon her.
Tong Huaqiong felt that Gu Baishuang had little affection left for the Nie family. Nie Xiaofeng was promoted to deputy general and went to Shengjing to receive his reward. The court would allocate him a mansion. Gu Baishuang could completely separate her two step-sons and go to Shengjing to live with her biological son.
But there is no rush for this matter. She needs to discuss the plan of going to Shengjing after the New Year with Gu Baishuang.
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the newly-crowned scholar Gu Jingzhe returned from the provincial capital.
He brought a thank-you gift from Lu Zhaoyang to Tong Huaqiong.
Gu Jingzhe explained that the gift was to thank Tong Huaqiong for her contribution to Dasheng's victory over Mobei. Tong Huaqiong's mind froze. She didn't understand how she was related to the war. Could it be that Gu Dashu's contribution would fall on his mother's head?
With Gu Jingzhe's further explanation, Tong Huaqiong realized that it was she who provided the heavy artillery and musket drawings to Prefect Yao, who delivered them to Lu Zhaoyang. It must be said that the Shengjing court had many talents. Based on the red-haired heavy artillery and musket drawings of later generations collected by Tong Huaqiong, they created the artillery of this era.
It is said that it was this artillery that protected the people on the border time and time again when the Mobei people attacked the city, thus thwarting Mobei's combat plans.
Therefore, Tong Huaqiong also deserves the credit for winning the battle.
