Chapter 709 This sister-in-law is a bit difficult
Gu Honglian was sitting in the room, with her face covered with powder by the matchmaker.
Because she is very dark and the thick makeup on her face makes her look a little scary when she smiles.
"Sister-in-law." Gu Honglian called her sister-in-law obediently and smiled happily.
"Now that you're married and in the Fan family, don't act capriciously. Live a good life and be more careful." Tong Huaqiong gave Gu Honglian some advice.
Because it was Gu Honglian's wedding day, Tong Huaqiong was unusually gentle to her.
Gu Honglian was flattered, nodded and said, "I know."
Old Mrs. Gu was wiping her tears.
She was really reluctant to see her little girl get married.
"The groom is here."
Maner and several other children ran into the house shouting to report the news.
The bridesmaid put the veil on Gu Honglian's head.
Everyone crowded at the door to see the groom, and Fan Tong was wearing groom's suit.
Several young men in the clan did not make things difficult for him out of respect for the fact that he was a scholar, and quickly let the groom and his wedding party into the house.
A woman with high cheekbones had her eyes rolling around as she entered the room. When she saw the boxes behind Honglian, she curled her lips and said, "Didn't they say that the bride's sister-in-law has a fortune? Why is there only so little as a dowry?"
The person who said this was Fan Tong's sister-in-law. She came along with the family to get married, and at first glance she was an annoyance.
Gu Honglian’s dowry was not much, just three boxes.
They are nothing more than ordinary shoes and socks, as well as daily necessities such as washbasins and toilets.
Old Mrs. Gu and Old Mr. Gu wanted to buy more for her, but they were unable to do so because they lacked the money.
Gu Honglian put all the gold jewelry given by Tong Huaqiong, Chen Sufen, Gu Taohua and others into a box close to her body, and exchanged the silver for banknotes and hid them in her wedding dress.
These are her savings and she will not use them easily.
The woman's eyes continued to roll around and she sighed, making trouble at the bride's house, clearly bringing shame to the Gu family.
Gu Baishuang couldn't help but say, "What does a million-dollar fortune have to do with you? We didn't know that the eldest sister-in-law would be thinking about the dowry of the sister-in-law. Could it be that your Fan family is so poor that you are waiting to rely on the sister-in-law to get married to get out of poverty?"
These words made the Gu family's wives glare at Sister-in-law Fan Tong, and some of the fierce wives even started to curse.
Everyone came here not because they liked Gu Honglian, nor because they wanted to support her, but because they were a family. As a girl from the Gu family, Gu Honglian was bullied by her in-laws at her parents' home on her wedding day. If she didn't fight back, people outside would think that girls from the Gu family were easy to bully.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family was speechless, thinking that this was her sister-in-law's home court and she naturally couldn't win the argument.
But when her sister-in-law marries into the family, she will have plenty of ways to deal with it.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Fan Tong grew up under her care. In her heart, he is no different from her own son.
She thought Gu Honglian would bring a large dowry into the Fan family, and she was just waiting to lie down and enjoy it. However, Fan Tong inquired a few days ago and learned that the dowry had been reduced. She couldn't swallow this and wanted to embarrass Gu Honglian when welcoming the bride.
The Gu family is not easy to mess with.
"My sister-in-law has a straightforward personality, please don't blame her." Fan Tong was dissatisfied when he saw so many people confronting his sister-in-law. He felt that the Gu family was bullying them, but when he saw Tong Huaqiong was present, he had to apologize to everyone.
"If you try to cover up your evil intentions and outspokenness with your straightforwardness, you will be condemned by everyone today and won't be able to leave this house." Wei smiled with her hand covering her mouth.
Gu Honglian's eyes moved slightly under the veil.
She had heard of Fan Tong's sister-in-law, but had never met her.
Fan Tong's sister-in-law was the best she could be. She was cheerful and tolerant, and treated her brother-in-law better than her own son. How come she looked more difficult to deal with than Old Lady Fan now?
She had met Old Lady Fan before, and she was also not a easy person to get along with.
In addition to the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family and Old Lady Fan, Fan Tong has three older sisters, so she will have five mothers-in-law to care for her in the future.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
She thought optimistically that it would be fine if they separated the family in the future.
The family split up and lived behind closed doors with Fan Tong, not caring about the other mothers-in-law as long as they could save face.
"Okay, okay, don't delay the auspicious time." Old Mrs. Gu came out to smooth things over.
She was dissatisfied with Fan Tong's sister-in-law's rude remarks. If it had happened under normal circumstances, she would have started to scold her. However, she didn't want to cause trouble on her daughter's wedding day and miss the auspicious time.
She was also worried that if she cursed enough, the Fan family would hate her and her daughter would be bullied when she went to her husband's family.
With the arrival of the auspicious time, Gu Honglian went out wearing a veil and red shoes.
Gu Honglian was put into the sedan chair. Old Mrs. Gu never stopped crying, and Old Man Gu felt uncomfortable too.
During the banquet, the guests talked about Gu Honglian's marriage, and some people asked about Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua's marriage in the name of concern.
Tong Huaqiong was extremely annoyed.
Fortunately, Gu Taohua was allowed to go to Shengjing. It must be said that in this era, Gu Taohua was indeed an anomaly in Qinghewan because she was not engaged at this age.
Three days later, Gu Honglian returned home.
Her eyes are red as if she had been crying.
It’s obvious that she was wronged in her husband’s family.
When Old Mrs. Gu saw this, she felt so heartbroken.
Fan Tong was called over by Mr. Gu with an embarrassed look on his face.
The mood of Jia and Wu Na, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, surprisingly improved. Gu Honglian was so favored in the Gu family's old house that old lady Gu always thought of her first when it came to good things. She usually spoke with a sharp tongue as if it was poisoned, and she deserved to be bullied in her husband's family.
"Honglian, what's wrong with you? Did Fan Tong bully you?" Old Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Honglian into the house and asked.
Gu Honglian lowered her head and just wiped her tears.
"Speak up, is it that old hag who bullied you or is it the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family who bullied you?"
Old Mrs. Gu had a hunch that Fan Tong would not openly bully Gu Honglian.
Fan Tong still wants to rely on Gu Jingzhe to become successful.
Gu Honglian burst into tears.
Old Mrs. Gu guessed correctly. Old Mrs. Fan, together with the eldest sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family, bullied Gu Honglian.
Gu Honglian was bullied to the point where she was speechless.
Under the questioning of Old Lady Gu, Gu Honglian stammered as she spoke.
On the night she married into the Fan family, when she was pouring out her heart to Fan Tong, the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family suddenly felt a pain in her heart and howled as if she was dying. Fan Tong had no choice but to go out to make a decision.
They invited a doctor to ask about the patient's condition and made a fuss until very late, leaving Gu Honglian alone in the bridal chamber.
Fan Tong didn't come back until the early morning. Gu Honglian cried secretly and fell asleep only when the rooster crowed.
When I woke up, the sun was already up.
Gu Honglian was thinking about serving tea to her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly got up, washed up, and went to serve tea to her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law stared at her red eyes from crying, and scolded Gu Honglian for being unfaithful to her husband in front of her sisters-in-law in the clan. Gu Honglian had never suffered such humiliation before, and she burst into tears on the spot out of grievance.
Before Old Mrs. Fan had her attack, the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family had her attack.
He covered his chest and cried bitterly.
She explained that she had been married to the Fan family for so many years and had raised Fan Tong as her son. She finally found a wife for Fan Tong. However, she was in poor health and had a heartache, so Fan Tong temporarily ignored the new wife, which made her unhappy.
She said it was all her fault because of her poor health and that her mother-in-law had suffered as a result.
He seemed to be taking the blame on himself, but he openly and secretly condemned Gu Honglian for being heartless and ungrateful. He didn't care at all when his sister-in-law was sick, and was only concerned about monopolizing Fan Tong. He also directly put the label of being unfilial on Gu Honglian's head.
Although there are intrigues within the Gu family, Gu Honglian, a girl, does not need to get deeply involved because she has Old Madam Gu to protect her.
Gu Honglian had no words to grievance, and was disgusted by the eldest sister-in-law of the Fan family, who poured tea on her on the spot.
