The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich!-Chapter 352: Two Golden Flowers Bloom

Thinking that Tong Pandi might be from the hometown.

Tong Huaqiong felt a surge of excitement in her heart. If that were true, she wouldn’t be alone in this world.

As soon as the carriage left Black Dragon Pond, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite the snow on the road getting thicker, Tong Huaqiong believed Su Chengmin could take everyone back to Qinghe Bay.

Outside, the cold wind howled, blowing snowflakes against the carriage wall, but inside the carriage, it was warm and cozy.

Su Chengmin brought in a pot of chicken soup, which was placed next to the charcoal stove, and the aroma of the chicken soup became even more enticing.

Tong Huaqiong’s stomach growled; it was only then that she realized she hadn’t eaten for nearly a day. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Mrs. Hong and Cai Wenpo were the same.

Tong Huaqiong lifted the pot lid and said to Mrs. Hong and Ma Wenpo, "You must be hungry, eat. It’s a waste not to eat the Wu Family’s food."

Mrs. Hong smiled and said, "I drank a bowl of soup while I was brewing it. Sister Tong and Cai Sisi, you should eat, too. You two have been working hard for so long."

Tong Huaqiong handed the ladled chicken soup to Cai Wenpo, with a big chicken leg inside, and said, "Thanks to Sister Cai today. Everyone says Sister Cai is the master of midwifery, and it turns out to be true. Without you, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly today. When my daughter-in-law gives birth, we’ll need you again."

Cai Wenpo received the chicken soup with a smile like a flower.

Her visit was not in vain.

She earned a lot of Silver, got rid of her arch-enemy Ma Wenpo, and set the midwifery profession right.

She also gained the favor of the Sui Feng Village Lady.

The Sui Feng Village Lady was selective, and now she was the leading midwife in the whole Qinghe Bay and Black Dragon Pond.

Tong Huaqiong drank a big bowl of chicken soup and ate the chicken, feeling completely warmed up.

Once people are full, they become sleepy, and Tong Huaqiong leaned against the back cushion and closed her eyes.

The snow fell heavier, and with the need to travel at night, the carriage was slower than when it came.

Su Chengmin hung a lit storm lamp at the front of the carriage, feeling the cold snow against his face.

Su Chengmin drove the carriage steadily, determined to return to the Gu Family as soon as possible.

Since leaving Shengjing with Xiao Long, Xiao Long had never been away from him for a day.

Although Chen Sufen treated Xiao Long as her own child, he still worried.

The carriage moved forward steadily.

"Hey...Lai Fu, drop me off at the bridge up ahead, I’ll go home from there directly," Cai Wenpo said.

Tong Huaqiong, awakened by the voice, realized they had arrived at Yan Guan Town.

The carriage stopped by the bridge, and Cai Wenpo said to Tong Huaqiong, "Madam, I’ll get off here."

Tong Huaqiong stuffed two taels of Silver to Cai Wenpo and said, "Thank you, Sister Cai, for your hard work following me all day. Please accept this Silver with a smile. As more people are having babies, I’m afraid there will be more requests for your services. If anyone asks about Black Dragon Pond’s village chief’s daughter-in-law, please help clarify things."

Cai Wenpo accepted the Silver, feeling flattered.

On the way, the Sui Feng Village Lady had already given Silver, and now she was giving more.

More generous than even the big families of Pingchuan County.

This trip had earned her as much as several delivery jobs.

She understood that this was promotional money; otherwise, the Madam wouldn’t say such words.

She knew the village chief’s niece had been criticized after parting, and Tong Huaqiong was entrusting her to walk the streets and defend Tong Pandi, and more importantly, to spread the evil deeds of the Wu Family, as Tong Pandi’s separation was an act of helplessness.

Just wait and see, she would make the Wu Family’s misdeeds known throughout Yan Guan Town and Black Dragon Pond, and see which good family’s girl would dare marry into them again.

"Madam, rest assured, I will spread the word well," Cai Wenpo said as she jumped off the carriage.

Tong Huaqiong was no longer sleepy.

Tong Pandi’s little daughter woke up and pouted as if she was about to cry.

Mrs. Hong picked up the baby and said, "This child needs a diaper change."

Tong Huaqiong frantically searched the bag for a diaper.

Mrs. Hong pointed to a floral bundle and said, "The diapers are in there."

Tong Huaqiong opened the bundle and saw it was filled with neatly cut diapers, then took one out and handed it to Mrs. Hong.

Mrs. Hong unwrapped the baby’s blanket and, by the dim light of the storm lamp, indeed confirmed a diaper change was needed.

"You certainly have the experience, it really was time for a diaper change," Tong Huaqiong commented, watching Mrs. Hong skillfully change the diaper, genuinely impressed.

Mrs. Hong replied, puzzled, "Sister Tong has had three children, shouldn’t you be more experienced than I am?"

When she lived in the Zheng Family, in the steward’s yard, and the servants of the Zheng Family had children, she was so fond of them that she helped take care of them, learning to hold, change, and burp a baby as a result.

Tong Huaqiong had given birth to three children.

Tong Huaqiong said sheepishly, "Back then, it was always my eldest daughter, Bai Shuang, who helped with the children, so until now, I’m still clueless about changing diapers and nursing."

Mrs. Hong had no idea that Tong Huaqiong, as a pain-free mother, had no experience with infant care.

Mrs. Hong, hearing about Gu Baishuang, suddenly remembered something and said, "The other day, I ran into your eldest daughter in town, and she didn’t look well."

Tong Huaqiong was about to respond when Tong Pandi woke and called out "Aunt," interrupting their conversation.

Tong Huaqiong thus diverted from the topic of Gu Baishuang.

"Aunt, where’s the baby?" Tong Pandi noticed the baby’s absence and almost sat up in fright.

"The baby is getting a diaper change," Tong Huaqiong assured her, pressing her back down.

Tong Pandi felt relieved seeing Mrs. Hong holding the baby.

Mrs. Hong finished changing the diaper and placed the baby back by Tong Pandi’s side, and the baby felt the warmth of her mother, whimpered a bit, and fell back asleep.

A satisfied smile appeared on Tong Pandi’s face, filling Mrs. Hong with envy.

Mrs. Hong commented, "The baby is so cute, with big eyes, a high nose, fair skin, just like Pandi."

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Pandi has been pretty since she was a child."

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married into the Wu Family.

Tong Pandi said, "I just hope she doesn’t have as hard a life as I did."

Tong Huaqiong interrupted, "Don’t say such things, the past is gone, and the future will be good days."

In the dim light of the storm lamp, Tong Pandi’s eyes shone.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Pandi, the child doesn’t have a name yet. Why don’t you name her?"

Tong Pandi immediately said, "Let’s call her Hua Er."

In her past life, her youngest daughter didn’t even have a name before being drowned.

She came into the world silently and left silently.

No identity, no name.

Later, Tong Pandi named her Hua Er, and each year on Hua Er’s birthday, she secretly burned paper in remembrance.

Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Hua Er, that’s a good name. The eldest is called Duo Er, the second Hua Er, two golden flowers blooming, a good omen."

Tong Pandi looked at Duo Er, then at Hua Er, and smiled with contentment.

This life, her Duo Er would never be sent to be a concubine.

Her Hua Er would grow up safe and sound.

She knew life would undoubtedly be difficult after the separation.

But no matter how hard, anything was better than repeating the tragic fate of the last life in the Wu Family.

Since Heaven allowed her to be reborn, allowing Hua Er to return to her, she was determined to carve out a path after the separation.
