The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich!-Chapter 77: Starting to Build Momentum

"Mom, I baked all the pastries you asked for today."

The next day would be Old Mrs. Huang’s birthday, and Tong Huaqiong would deliver the pastries to Huang Yuanwai early.

Chen Sufen has picked things up quickly these days, she can make most pastries just by watching Tong Huaqiong bake a couple of times.

She thought her mother-in-law must be tired from running the stall all day, so she didn’t rest for the entire day, and the kitchen fire never went out; she even showed some leadership, getting Liu Yueer, Gu Jingzhe, and Gu Dashu to help in the kitchen, baking some necessary ordinary pastries needed for the birthday feast of Old Mrs. Huang.

Tong Huaqiong was very satisfied.

If anyone in the Gu Family could make Tong Huaqiong feel at ease, it was definitely Chen Sufen.

"That’s good, tidy up and rest early, the family depends on you tomorrow." Tong Huaqiong said thoughtfully.

She can’t sleep yet, she has to prepare various materials for going to Huang Yuanwai’s house tomorrow for Old Mrs. Huang’s birthday.

Besides various pastries, she visited Huang Yuanwai’s house yesterday to say that on Old Mrs. Huang’s birthday she could work in Huang Family’s kitchen to make new styled pastries, and guaranteed that the style would become a sensation among the guests and make Old Mrs. Huang happy.

The prospect of showing off and making his mom happy was enough to move Huang Yuanwai, he agreed without a second thought.

Tong Huaqiong decided to offer not only longevity peach but also a birthday cake.

With these two offerings, it would surely be sensational.

To ensure the effect and taste of the cake, she must present it freshly, which requires her to be stationed in Huang Family.

As for how to ensure this, it certainly relies on the magical space, she plans to make and take the cake directly from the space.

She tried it, she could use the egg beaters and ovens in the space, she just couldn’t take them out. After making them, Sister Man Er could just take them out.

These past few days, entering and exiting the space, she found that Gu Taohua and Man Er could enter even without staying with her, but this time she couldn’t take any risks, it must be foolproof.

That’s why she must bring Man Er along.

The success of Taohua Dessert’s entry into the high-end market and the expansion of its reputation depends on tomorrow’s birthday feast.

Right now, she sets up a stall in town, although she has taken some business from Crispy Food Garden, it’s basically all individual customers.

It’s hard to say that most customers aren’t just drawn by cheap retail prices.

She aims not only to serve individual customers but also to provide custom pastry services, such as for birthdays, weddings, and birth celebrations.

She wants her pastries to become the first choice for prestigious families in Yan Guan Town and even Pingchuan County.

So she must make a splash at Old Mrs. Huang’s birthday feast.

She plans to find a shop after Huang Yuanwai’s birthday feast, she can’t always rely on a roadside stall, she has to use a shop to face off directly with Crispy Food Garden.

It’s time to start building momentum.

Tong Huaqiong is very confident about this battle.

...

"Sister Man Er, are you going to sleep with Grandma again tonight?"

Man Er, upon learning that she would be going to Huang Yuanwai’s house in Yan Guan Town with Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua tomorrow, was very excited. After taking a bath, she had Chen Sufen take out her new clothes, and now holding them, she walked towards Tong Huaqiong’s room.

She would wear the new clothes tomorrow.

"Yes, I’m going with Grandma to Huang Yuanwai’s house in Yan Guan Town tomorrow." Man Er said to Yaozu.

"I want to go too." Gu Yaozu said.

As the first golden grandson of the Gu Family, he used to always have the opportunity to go out like this. Now, his grandmother doesn’t even consider him when going anywhere, and at meals, the good food always goes to Man Er first. He felt extremely aggrieved.

"Grandma said she’s only taking me." Man Er thought for a moment and said to Yaozu, "Be good, I’ll bring you back something tasty."

Gu Yaozu looked very aggrieved, with tears about to fall, he too wanted to go to Yan Guan Town.

Liu Yueer, hearing the conversation between the two children, felt very sour inside.

She turned around and complained to Mrs. Zhao, who was passing by the Gu Family while herding sheep: "Dashu’s mom has her heart tilted to the heavens, not caring about Yaozu as a grandson, but instead favoring the money-losing child of the oldest family. Mom, you should see, she treats the older family’s girl like a golden phoenix, giving her the chicken leg at the dinner table, giving her eggs, I fear that sooner or later the eldest family will push our Yaozu out with nowhere to stand."

"Tomorrow she’s going to Huang Yuanwai’s house to make a birthday feast for Old Mrs. Huang but wants to take the eldest family’s girl along, don’t you think such a good opportunity should consider Yaozu? But she’s only thinking about Man Er. I’ve been getting along with her for so long, but I can’t understand her thoughts at all. No wonder people say widows have odd temperaments, they are completely right."

Mrs. Zhao nodded to Liu Yueer and said, "It’s enough, you used to team up with your mother-in-law to bully your elder sister-in-law, and Yaozu was also spoiled enough before. Now it’s the older family’s turn and you can’t bear it. I say, your mother-in-law is doing it right, the older family suffered so much under her, now it’s time to make it up to them."

Liu Yueer pursed her lips.

Whose side is her mom on?

Mrs. Zhao added, "Now that your mother-in-law got wise, you’d better go along with her. She spoiled your family before, and your days went wild, who in the village got along with your family? Now she’s setting up good days, unbiased and with good family discipline, you’d better not mess it up. She’s good to the elder family, and hasn’t wronged you."

Mrs. Zhao had a bit of a ’disappointed in iron not forming steel’ feeling towards Liu Yueer.

If anyone was the troublemaker in the Gu Family, it was definitely her own daughter.

Whom did her daughter take after? If not climbing out of her own belly, she’d think she took after the old Tong Dajiao.

Now that Tong Dajiao changed for the better, why does her daughter still have misguided tendencies?

She must give her one talking after another.

Thinking this, she barked: "Your mother-in-law is no softy, you better behave yourself in the Gu Family. If you decide to stir things up, with her temperament she really might let Dashu divorce you. If that happens, I won’t care, you might as well go be a nun."

Liu Yueer was feeling a bit better after Mrs. Zhao vented at her, she said to Mrs. Zhao: "I was just complaining to you a bit, what daughter-in-law doesn’t bad mouth her mother-in-law back home? Why are you so harsh on me?"

Mrs. Zhao gave her daughter a look and said, "Learn from your elder sister-in-law."

Then, taking the sheep, she turned and left.

Liu Yueer walked into the yard and ran right into Tong Huaqiong, scared her heart almost stopped.

She feared that her complaints to her mom about her mother-in-law might have been overheard by her mother-in-law. She had seen firsthand how her mother-in-law treated Chen Sufen, even if Chen Sufen slightly displeased her, her mother-in-law went berserk, making Chen Sufen sleep on the floor by her bed, massage her legs, press her back, serve water, even urinate, tormenting Chen Sufen all night.

Finished, she feared her mother-in-law might go berserk again using these methods on her.

"Finished eating, you just go out and mess around, can’t you do something proper every day?"

Tong Huaqiong thought Liu Yueer went out to gossip again, and began to criticize.

"Didn’t mess around, I just stood at the door for a bit." Liu Yueer said.

Apparently, her mother-in-law hadn’t heard her complaints, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so emotionally stable, Liu Yueer felt slightly relieved.

"I’ve got a task for you and Dashu."

Liu Yueer was about to sneak back to her room, but Tong Huaqiong’s words made her stop.
