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

Chapter 606 Cutting in the door upside down

When the apricots were ripe, Tong Huaqiong received the news that Gu Ruinian was getting engaged.

As the eldest aunt, no matter how much Tong Huaqiong conflicts with the people in the old house, Gu Ruinian must inform Tong Huaqiong when he is engaged, and Tong Huaqiong must attend Gu Ruinian's engagement party.

"Who is Gu Ruinian engaged to?" Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Honglian.

"Xu Xinghua." Gu Honglian said, and added, "Marrying into the family."

Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.

It was also difficult for Gu Ruinian, who went from dreaming of becoming a son-in-law of the Lian family to becoming a son-in-law of the former village chief's family.

To Tong Huaqiong's surprise, Mr. Gu was actually willing to let Gu Ruinian marry into his family.

It can be seen that Mr. Gu has completely given up on Gu Ruinian.

For Tong Huaqiong, she has no control over what happens to Gu Ruinian in the future, as long as he does not take action against Tong Huaqiong and her group of evil people.

He was engaged to Xu Xinghua, and as his aunt, she would give him some face in the eyes of outsiders. She would attend the engagement banquet and bring a piece of cotton cloth as a gift.

......

The Gu family’s old house has been very busy these days.

Gu Ruinian and Xu Xinghua have already met each other, and both are "satisfied". The two families have begun preparing for the engagement banquet and the exchange of engagement letters.

The news that the two were about to get engaged was like a bomb exploding in Qinghe Bay.

Everyone really couldn't connect Gu Ruinian and Xu Xinghua together.

"Have you heard? Xinghua is finally getting engaged. They say it's in the Rui year."

"Ruinian? Oh, how come these two are together? But they are a good match, one is pockmarked and the other is lame."

Everyone sat at the entrance of the village gossiping, and the center of the gossip was naturally the explosive marriage.

People in Qinghewan have a bad impression of Gu Ruinian, and they also have a bad impression of Xu Xinghua.

It wasn't that Xu Xinghua had pockmarks on her face that made everyone laugh at her. On the contrary, everyone used to sympathize with the girl for having pockmarks on her otherwise healthy face.

The reason why everyone dislikes Xu Xinghua is because Xu Xinghua has a crooked heart.

She has loved doing bad things and stirring up trouble since she was little.

Especially if a girl is pretty, she would find fault and cause quarrels, and would even use stones to scratch the girl's face.

As time went by, everyone stayed away from her when they saw her.

Since she could get together with Gu Ruinian, everyone felt that they both were doing good to the people.

"Ruinian is a scholar after all, can he tolerate Xu Xinghua?" someone asked, "Xu Xinghua has a bad temper."

"More than just enduring, I heard that Gu Ruinian married into the Xu family."

"what?"

The news that Gu Ruinian was going to marry into the Xu family was like a pot of boiling water, boiling in the village.

There is no way. Not to mention people of this era, even in the future when Tong Huaqiong lived, many people would not accept marrying into the wife's family.

This news is too explosive.

"Ruinian, I heard that you are going to marry into the Xu family?"

"Then won't your and Xinghua's future child have the surname Xu?"

When the villagers saw Gu Ruinian carrying a hoe, they gathered around to ask what he was doing.

Now, Gu Ruinian, like other young people in the village, has to go to the fields to work every day.

Sowing, weeding, spraying pesticides... He was so tired every day that he wanted to jump into the well and return to the afterlife.

He was used to a life of honoring his ancestors and was really not used to farm work.

Let alone being lazy now, even if he stood up to wipe the sweat off his face in the field, Old Lady Gu would point at him and scold him to death.

Gu Ruinian felt that he must have blown up the Milky Way in his previous life, which was why he had to endure such humiliation in the Gu family.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that he had to worry every day that the Second Master Zheng would send someone to collect the gunpowder payment. He didn't know what was going on, but since the New Year, the Second Master Zheng had never come to the village to ask him about the progress of his gunpowder.

He suspected that the second master Zheng had forgotten many things and that something like this would happen sooner or later.

In these days when life was worse than death, he accepted to marry into the Xu family.

He thought he was different from the men of this era and didn't mind marrying into a woman's family, but when he was asked about it in person, he still felt uncomfortable.

He looked at the big words in front of him, and the mud-footed peasant with no knowledge of them thought with disdain in his heart, how could they be qualified to talk to him.

At the same time, a wave of sadness welled up in my heart.

He was so smart, he had mastered 5,000 years of history, witnessed all the modernization in later generations, and had skills that people of this era could not master. But in the end, he was reduced to being laughed at by these peasants.

Fate was so unfair to him.

"Ruinian, have you really agreed to marry into the Xu family? You are really bringing shame to the Gu family." The clan leader's grandson Gu Dahu took a puff of tobacco and asked with a frown.

"Do you know that all the men in our Gu family are laughed at because of you? You have set a good example."

Gu Ruinian put the hoe on the ground and roared at Gu Dahu, "What the hell does it have to do with you if I marry into your family?"

Gu Dahu was startled by Gu Ruinian's roar.

Gu Ruinian continued to yell at everyone: "I am marrying into the wife's family, so what? You also want to marry into the wife's family? Don't you think you have the ability to live off the wife?"

"Get out of here, you ignorant peasants, how dare you show off in front of me?"

As he spoke, he tried to chop someone with a hoe.

The young people in the village were not afraid of him. They were all used to doing farm work and quickly snatched the hoe from Gu Ruinian's hand.

"Are you crazy? I just asked you a few questions, why are you so angry? We didn't ask you to marry into our family, if you have the guts to go and get angry with your father."

"That's right. You thought you were a scholar and a juren, and you looked down on us peasants. Aren't you a peasant yourself now?"

When Gu Ruinian first returned to the village, he was the most popular student.

Everyone knew that he looked down on the villagers, and now seeing him reduced to becoming a son-in-law, they felt it was a pity and a shame.

Gu Ruinian went crazy at everyone, completely crushing everyone's sympathy.

"Get out, get out of here."

"If I want to marry into your family, then I'll marry you. If you say another word, I'll beat you up."

Gu Ruinian waved his fists with a murderous look in his eyes.

After driving everyone away, Gu Ruinian sat on the riverbank with a hoe in his hand, looking at his lame right leg and the nearby fields, with confusion in his eyes.

He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out why he failed.

"Why did you die on the riverbank? Why don't you go home and make a fire?" Old Mrs. Gu went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and started scolding Gu Ruinian when she saw him sitting on the riverbank.

Now Old Mrs. Gu doesn't indulge Gu Ruinian at all.

Originally, the Xu family was willing to pay fifty taels of silver to allow Gu Ruinian to marry into the Xu family's family. Gu Ruinian analyzed the pros and cons to Xu Xinghua and said that since he was willing to marry into the Xu family's family, there was no need to give the fifty taels of silver to the Gu family.

The Gu family can forget about getting a penny from him.

When Old Mrs. Gu found out, she was so angry that she collapsed. She had planned to give the fifty taels of silver to Gu Honglian as a dowry, but at the last minute, her grandson stabbed her in the back.

How could she not hate it.

So, in the days before the engagement, Old Lady Gu tortured Gu Ruinian in various ways.

Hearing the scolding from Old Lady Gu, Gu Ruinian stood up without stopping for a moment while cursing Old Lady Gu in his heart.

If he dared to disobey Old Madam Gu, he would not be given any food.
