Chapter 61: Milksop Was Conquering Her
Xie Yuntang paused for a moment. He knew what Sister Taozi was going to say, and interrupted her softly, "Sister Taozi, are you hungry? I'll go get some cakes." After saying that, he got up and went out.
Why did Sister Taozi start mentioning that again recently...
Was she still not full?
Su Tao held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth, "..."
Milksop seemed to be familiar with her strategy...
No way, did he really think she was ill?
She wasn’t ill.
After a while, Xie Yuntang held the cakes in one hand and some warm water in the other. His beautiful eyes flickered under the lantern, and he seemed a little scared. "Sister Taozi, you eat. If these aren’t enough, I'll get more."
Su Tao's eyebrows twitched, but she didn't say anything else. Milksop obviously didn’t believe her.
If she said it again, he would definitely think there was something seriously wrong with her brain.
The time wasn’t ripe yet, so she had to wait a little longer.
No, she had to make Milksop think that she wasn’t ill first, otherwise no matter what she said, he would think she was ill.
As she thought about it, she took a cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Her brows immediately furrowed, but she swallowed it anyway and said with disgust, "What’s this taste? It's not delicious."
After being raised by the Xie family, she started to be picky about food again.
But she only dared to do that in front of Milksop.
Only Milksop would spoil her.
It was a bit embarrassing to say this because after all, an eight-year-old child was spoiling her, who was in her twenties.
Upon hearing that the cake didn't taste good, Xie Yuntang quickly reached out and took one, taking a small bite. The taste was a bit strange, but it was okay.
His big eyes were serious. "Sister Taozi, don't you like taro cake?"
Su Tao drank a few sips of water, and said after the taste dissipated, "I don't like it. You can eat it."
Xie Yuntang nodded obediently, then took the cake at the bottom and smelled it. "This is osmanthus cake. You eat this."
After she took it, he picked out all the taro cakes and placed them in the empty cup.
He made a mental note that Sister Taozi didn't like to eat taro cakes.
He would tell his father tomorrow not to buy taro cakes anymore.
Su Tao naturally saw his actions. Sigh, Milksop was really likeable.
She finally understood that it would be much easier for Milksop to conquer her than for her to conquer him.
She wanted to curse the reverse strategy of the wretched system.
She pinched a piece of cake for him and said, "Here, Milksop, you can have some too."
"Thank you, Sister Taozi."
Xie Yuntang took it and took a small bite. He glanced at the girl's profile and couldn't help but crinkle up his eyes.
Sister Taozi was so nice.
The two of them chatted, and when the noise from the Yu family stopped, they went back to their beds. They didn't sleep for long before the Yu family started the ritual again.
At this time, it was already dawn outside. Su Tao sat up and took a look. She rubbed her hair irritably, and then got up resignedly.
Xie Qing and Mrs. Xie-Qin didn't sleep well either, and yawned several times in succession.
Not long after breakfast, Su Tao started embroidering the inner garment again.
Fifteen minutes after noon, a quarrel was suddenly heard in the village. Su Tao thought that the matter with the Yu family was not over yet, but soon her hand stopped moving. She seemed to have heard Lin Sanzhu's voice.
Could it be that wretched old woman, Mrs. Su Qian, was causing trouble again?
She ran out quickly and looked around. Finally, she saw Lin Sanzhu on the other side of the dam holding an old woman tightly. The old woman was holding a quilt and a pot in her hands.
It wasn’t Mrs. Su-Qian.
She didn't know the old woman.
Darn it, where did this old woman come from?
What she hated most here were the old women.
They were old, fierce, and good at quarrelling.
She ran over without thinking, and took the quilt while they were not prepared. Then, she handed it to Xie Yuntang who ran over. "Milksop, take it back to your house quickly."
Xie Yuntang was confused for a moment. Although he didn't know why, but since Sister Taozi said so, he nodded obediently. He turned around and carried the quilt home.
"Who are you, wretched girl? Give me back my quilt."
The old woman's sharp voice was comparable to Mrs. Su-Qian's. Su Tao's ears felt numb. And then, she grabbed the steel pot.
This old woman was quite strong.
The old woman, Mrs. Lin-Zhou, held on tightly and refused to let go. "You wretched girl, let go. Lin Sanzhu! Is this how you taught your wretched daughter?"
"Mom! This is the only pot we have at home. We'll buy you one when we have money."
Lin Sanzhu held on to her tightly, but did not dare to use too much force.
It turned out that this old woman was Lin Sanzhu's mother. Su Tao became even angrier when she heard this. As a mother, how could she steal the pot from her daughter's family?
She really didn't care about appearances.
Su Tao lowered her head and bit Mrs. Lin-Zhou's hand, and Mrs. Lin-Zhou immediately let go in pain.
Su Tao took the steel pot, stepped back a few steps, and said in a somewhat cursing manner like Lin Sanzhu, "I’ve never seen such a shameless person as you. You’re so shameless."
"You even want to snatch our steel pot. Why don't you go die?"
Mrs. Lin-Zhou was startled and stumbled, falling to the ground. She cried out "ouch" twice.
Su Tao ignored her and ran to the Xie family's house with the pot.
The Xie family’s house was safe. No one would dare to come and take it.
The Xie family was her powerful backer.
Seeing her running away with the steel pot, Lin Sanzhu heaved a sigh of relief, but pretended to curse, "What are you doing, wretched girl? How could you treat your grandma this way? If you have the guts, don't come back!"
"Mom, are you okay? That wretched girl has gone crazy recently and we don't have the money to treat her."
Su Tao, "..."
Thanks for nothing.
It was rumored in the village that she was ill, and at least half of the credit went to Lin Sanzhu.
Even her own mother said she was ill, let alone others.
"You move aside! If you don't give me the pot and the quilt, I’ll bring your father and the others to snatch them from you tomorrow."
Mrs. Lin-Zhou pushed her away and said, "Where did that wretched girl go?"
Lin Sanzhu was used to her mother's behavior, but she still felt upset. She opened her mouth and whispered, "I don't know."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin-Zhou slapped her in the face, feeling a bit disappointed, "You don’t know? You’re such a traitor. Everyone else sides with their maiden family, but look at you. Had I known earlier, I would have married you to Pockmarked Wang."
Lin Sanzhu felt uncomfortable at the mention of Pockmarked Wang. She was almost ruined by him back then.
She was a little annoyed. She covered her face and said, "Mom, no matter what, I was born by you. I’ve worked hard since I was a child. Other girls get dowries when they marry, but I have nothing. I married Fuzi wearing only old clothes."
"I never said anything. I know I’m a daughter, and once a woman is married, she is like spilled water."
"Over the years, you’ve come to the Su family from time to time to ask for things. I already have a hard life, and had to be beaten by my mother-in-law."
She choked up a little when she said this, and then continued, "We have nothing after our family moved out, and I’ve never thought of returning to my maiden home to burden you. Now, there’s nothing at home. If the quilt and pot are taken away, our family will have no way to survive."
"Fuzi and I can make do, but the kids can't stand the cold. Mom, please be considerate of me."
"If I had money, I would naturally be filial to you and Dad."
