The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 32: The Half-Opened Cheat Code

Tong Huaqiong slowly woke up; it was already broad daylight.

Sunlight streamed through the thin window paper, illuminating the room.

Tong Huaqiong's head felt heavy.

She had a very long dream that night. In the dream, she kept moving things with Man'er, and she was so tired from working all night.

She shook her head with a wry smile.

It's true what they say, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. It must be that during the day you wished you had an inexhaustible amount of space like those lucky time-traveling women, which is why you had such a dream at night.

"Grandma, you're awake." Man'er had already woken up and was sitting at the foot of the bed, looking at Tong Huaqiong with a blank expression.

Tong Huaqiong touched her face.

"Grandma, look at the things you helped me move last night. They're all hidden here," Man'er said, pointing to the blanket.

Upon hearing Man'er's words, Tong Huaqiong didn't hesitate to lift the covers.

God!

She was so overwhelmed with surprise that she almost fainted.

Under the blanket were all the things she had seen in her room.

She carefully examined the contents and found butter, powdered sugar, chestnut flour, red bean paste, lard, condensed milk, and a can of milk powder.

Tong Huaqiong held her breath.

What's happening here?
In her dream, the things in her room were only meant to be seen but not taken away, so how did they end up on her bed now?

Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but look at Man'er.

"Man'er, what's going on with these things?" Tong Huaqiong asked.

Man'er tilted her head and shushed, saying, "Grandma, you forgot? You were the one who took me out of a pretty house, and you even told me not to tell anyone."

"That's why I hid them all under the blanket."

Tong Huaqiong tried hard to recall.

In her dream, she saw Man'er able to take things out of the refrigerator, and she was extremely excited. She pointed to the things in the refrigerator and told Man'er to take them out.

Moreover, she discovered that Man'er could not only take things out of the refrigerator, but also take them out of the room and bring them to the Gu family's house.

That night, she directed Man'er to move things.

She thought she was dreaming, but it turned out that it wasn't a dream at all.

Tong Huaqiong wanted to laugh out loud.

The young woman transmigrated into the body of a vicious mother-in-law and widow. Her family was extremely poor, and she had a bunch of children to support. She thought she didn't have any protagonist's halo, but unexpectedly, she also had the standard golden finger of a transmigrated woman.

Heaven has been kind to her!
She wanted to laugh out loud.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Man'er felt that her grandmother's smile was strange, and she was scared.

"It's nothing, Man'er, you did a great job."

Tong Huaqiong's face twitched from laughing.

She quickly realized that both she and Man'er could enter the space she carried, but only Man'er could take the things out of it.

Thinking this way, she felt that God hadn't been very kind to her.

If you're going to use a cheat code, just use it! Why are you only using it halfway?

However, even half a cheat code is much better than starting with nothing.

"Man'er, you've worked hard." Tong Huaqiong touched Man'er's little hand.

Man'er had been carrying things for most of the night, and her little hands were a little red. Tong Huaqiong felt a little sorry for her.

"Man'er isn't tired," Man'er said, shaking her head.

Tong Huaqiong thought for a moment and asked Man'er with a kind expression, "Man'er, tell Grandma, how did you get into that beautiful house?"

Man'er tilted her head and said, "I just saw Grandma go in, so I followed her in."

It's just this one sentence over and over again.

Tong Huaqiong knew she wouldn't get any information out of her; she guessed even Man'er herself didn't know how she got in.

She still wants to figure out the pattern, but it seems it won't be so easy to figure it out.

Never mind that for now. In any case, the things Man'er took out are enough for her to make a name for herself in the world of pastries.

"Man'er, that room full of things is our secret, you can't tell anyone," Tong Huaqiong said to Man'er with a serious expression.

Man'er nodded; her grandmother had emphasized this point many times.

"You can't even tell your mother, understand?" Tong Huaqiong said. "I won't even tell my mother. Man'er is very tight-lipped."

After Man'er finished speaking, she covered her mouth, and her serious little bun face melted Tong Huaqiong's heart.

Grandma, you have to believe in Man'er!

"Grandma believes in Man'er."

After making Man'er laugh, Tong Huaqiong covered the things on the bed tightly with the blanket.

Actually, she wasn't afraid of being exposed. Since only she, Chen Sufen, Liu Yue'e, and Gu Taohua were present when she made the pastries, she wasn't worried that the three of them would know about their existence.

As long as she acts like a wicked woman, they dare not ask or tell anyone.

Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong got up and dressed, and then helped Man'er put on her clothes.

"Mother, are you up?" It was Liu Yue'e knocking on the door from outside.

"Get up." Tong Huaqiong carried Man'er out of bed.

The door opened, and Liu Yue'e came in carrying water for washing her face.

The sun has truly risen in the west! Usually, Chen Sufeng serves her, but today it's Liu Yue'e who's eager to serve her.

Ever since Tong Huaqiong showed off fifty taels of silver yesterday, Liu Yue'e has decided to follow her mother-in-law's lead.

He stood guard at the door of his mother-in-law's room before dawn.

Hearing the noise from inside, he quickly fetched water for washing her face and eagerly helped Tong Huaqiong with her washing up.

She was afraid that she might anger her mother-in-law in the next couple of days. If her mother-in-law changed her mind and refused to pay fifty taels of silver, wouldn't that be a huge disaster?

After all, ever since my mother-in-law fainted from her kowtow, she has become increasingly capricious. When she gets angry and who she gets angry at are no longer as predictable as before.

"Man'er sleeps with her mother?"

Liu Yue'e was taken aback when she saw Man'er.

Good heavens, Man'er has now become the number one person in her mother-in-law's heart.

Thinking of her family's past glory, Liu Yue'e felt a pang of jealousy.

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Tong Huaqiong asked in the disgruntled tone of Tong Dajiao.

"No, no. Man'er is our precious daughter, she really deserves to be pampered more," Liu Yue'e said ingratiatingly.

"Do I need you to teach me? Stop with your little schemes," Tong Huaqiong said irritably.

Liu Yue'e pursed her lips, tested the water temperature, and then asked Tong Huaqiong to wash up.

I must say, it feels really good to be waited on. No wonder women in this era all want to become mothers-in-law.

Tong Huaqiong washed Man'er's face first, and then comfortably washed her own face.

"You're so thoughtful," Tong Huaqiong said, taking the face towel Liu Yue'e handed her.

Seeing her mother-in-law's improved expression, Liu Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mother, I went to my eldest sister’s place early this morning on the day of the Great Heat,” Liu Yue’e said, then added after a moment’s thought, “and I also carried a bundle of rattan.”

Oh, so this is another scene of someone carrying thorns to apologize.

Tong Huaqiong nodded, then led Man'er out of the room.

Chen Sufeng had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Tong Huaqiong leading Man'er out, she smiled and said, "Man'er, that child, insisted on sleeping with Grandma yesterday, and I couldn't stop her. Man'er, did you not sleep well because you were disturbed by Grandma?"

Tong Huaqiong said, "I sleep very well with Man'er by my side. I think it would be better if Man'er slept with me from now on."

That's perfect, the two of them can go into the space and move things.

Chen Sufen was flattered when she heard her mother-in-law say that.

What does this mean?

This means that Man'er has already won over her mother-in-law's heart.

Man'er's position in this family is now secure.

"Mom, breakfast is ready. Set it out right away."

Chen Sufeng's voice was filled with joy as she hurried into the kitchen to serve the food.

Seeing Yaozu peeking in from the doorway, Liu Yue'e felt a pang of sadness and said to him, "Didn't you say this morning that you wanted to thank Grandma for letting you stay at home? Why are you so afraid to speak to her?"

While speaking, he pulled Yaozu in front of Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong knew Liu Yue'e's little scheme but didn't expose it.

Anyway, it feels good to be flattered and fawned over.
