Chapter 62: She Also Liked Milksop’s Appearance
Mrs. Lin-Zhou had never been a person who cared about her daughter, otherwise she would not have come to her daughter’s house to snatch things.
She naturally didn't care when she heard that, and spat out a mouthful of saliva. "What does your family separation have to do with us? It’s only justified for you to respect your parents..."
Before she could finish her words, a dog barked, "Woof, woof, woof..."
The black dog headed straight towards Mrs. Lin-Zhou. Mrs. Lin-Zhou was of course afraid, so she turned around and ran. "Wretched dog, get out of here! Wretched... oh... wretched dog..."
Lin Sanzhu was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to chase after Mrs. Lin-Zhou, her hand was grabbed by someone. She turned around and saw that it was Su Tao.
She opened her mouth in shock. "You got the dog to come?"
Her wretched daughter was really crazy. She even dared to get a dog to bite her own grandmother.
The dog was raised by the Xie family to guard the courtyard. Su Tao had developed a relationship with it over the past few days.
Su Tao wasn’t embarrassed at all, and lectured Lin Sanzhu like a little adult. With wide eyes, she said, "I couldn’t possibly let her snatch the things away. If Dad knew, he would definitely feel upset."
Then, she said earnestly, "Mom, Dad has fallen out with his family because of you. You can't let anyone take our things away."
"If they take our things away, our family will freeze to death."
"If Dad knew about this, he would be very disappointed. Just think about it. Dad gets up early and works several jobs every day. It hasn’t been easy to save money to buy a quilt."
"Dad works so hard."
Lin Sanzhu knew all this, but after hearing her daughter say it, she felt even guiltier. She opened her mouth and said, "Your father is still working in the fields. Don't tell him. I'll keep an eye on our things next time."
"That's more like it. Mom, you hit me with such force. It's more than enough to deal with those old women."
Su Tao knew that Lin Sanzhu's philosophy was to respect their parents, but both her and Su Fu's parents weren’t good people.
Why should they respect unkind people? It was better to draw a clear line as soon as possible.
Lin Sanzhu was rendered speechless, feeling a little embarrassed by what her daughter said. She raised her voice a little, "Alright! Alright! I know. Wretched girl, you keep nagging. Those who don't know better would think you’re my parent."
Su Tao glanced at her and muttered softly, "I wished I could be your parent. If I were your parent, I wouldn’t have to advise you guys. I would just go fight by myself."
Frankly speaking, she was at a disadvantage because of her age.
She couldn’t win a fight and her words didn't carry any weight.
Lin Sanzhu, "..."
Her wretched daughter's sharp tongue was so infuriating.
She wanted to use a needle to sew her mouth shut.
As soon as she raised her hand, her smart wretched daughter ran away.
……
The village was so small, how could Su Fu not know about it? After hearing about it, he hurried home.
He knew his mother-in-law's character better than anyone else.
At this time, Lin Sanzhu had already returned, and Su Tao followed her home.
It was because she was afraid that Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu would quarrel.
This family was already poor. If Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu weren’t of one mind, then their days would be miserable.
Sigh, her worries were really endless.
Lin Sanzhu felt a little guilty when she saw Su Fu. She didn't dare to look at him and didn't say anything.
Su Tao, "..."
She ran up to take the hoe from Su Fu's hand and complained aggrievedly, "Dad, Grandma came to snatch our things just now. Mom was slapped in her bid to stop Grandma from snatching. Her face is swollen."
"All our things are intact."
When Su Fu heard that, he looked at Lin Sanzhu's face. The side of her face was red and swollen. He felt a little distressed. "If my mother-in-law wants to snatch the things, let her do it. I’m just glad that you’re fine."
When Lin Sanzhu heard him say that, she felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red. She said in a self-reproaching tone, "Fuzi, I'm useless. I can't save money, and even let our things be snatched."
"It's not your fault. As children, what can we do? We just have to live our lives well."
Su Fu sighed, then took out some medicinal ointment to apply on her face.
Yes, there was no way out indeed. What could they do about their parents? They couldn’t hit or scold them.
They could only bear with it.
Lin Sanzhu burst into tears and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
Being sensible, Su Tao left them alone. She picked up Su Dou, kicked Su Zhi, and then the three of them left the cave.
Su Zhi shivered when he came out of the cave. His nose was running, and he asked curiously, "Sister, why did we come out? Are you going to share pancakes with me?"
"I want to eat more."
Su Tao, "..."
She blocked Su Dou's head with her hands, then rolled her eyes at Su Zhi and said grumpily, "Pancakes, my foot. Wipe your nose!"
Su Zhi immediately sucked his snot in again. Su Tao couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand to hit him on the head.
Su Zhi didn't understand why his elder sister hit him again, and pouted in grievance. "Sister, you’re not as good as Brother Yuntang. I don't want you to be my elder sister, I want Brother Yuntang."
"Brother Yuntang never hits me."
Su Tao, "..."
She snorted and sat on a rock. "He won’t like a brother like you. He likes someone like me. You? You're so ugly!"
At the mention that he was ugly, Su Zhi said anxiously, "I'm not ugly. You're the ugliest, Sister. You're much uglier than Brother Yuntang!"
"But I’m still better looking than you."
Su Tao bared her teeth at his angry look and teased him, "Also, your Brother Yuntang only gives me pancakes and doesn't give you any. He must have liked me the most."
She must have been really bored to even argue with a child.
Su Zhi broke into tears because what his elder sister said was right. Brother Yuntang always gave his elder sister pancakes.
He didn’t get any.
Brother Yuntang liked Sister the most.
Sister was so annoying.
"Boo hoo hoo... "
Su Tao was used to him crying, so she ignored him and raised her hands to pinch Su Dou's face. She pinched him left and right. It felt quite good.
After a while, she saw a boy in azure-colored clothes walking towards her. Other children walked unsteadily, but he was different. He walked very straight.
His back was as straight as the cypress tree.
No wonder all the girls in the village liked to look at him.
She also liked his appearance.
The mountain roads in winter were a bit wet and not easy to walk on.
Su Tao thought for a moment, then handed Su Dou to Su Zhi and warned, "Carry him properly, or I'll beat you if you drop him." After that, she ran down the mountain.
When she met Xie Yuntang, he was just climbing the steep slope with some difficulty. Without thinking, she reached out to pull him. "What are you doing here?"
Xie Yuntang looked up at her, his eyes crinkling up into crescents, and his eyes sparkling. "Sister Taozi, it's lunchtime. My mom made braised pork ribs."
He was waiting for Sister Taozi at home, but she didn't come back after a long time, so he came to find her.
He didn't actually come to ask Sister Taozi to eat, he just wanted to see her.
Hearing that, Su Tao gulped. However, when she didn’t know how Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu were doing. At that thought, she restrained herself and said, "I won't go to your house for lunch. I'll eat at home and go back afterwards."
What a pity for her braised pork ribs.
Xie Yuntang felt a little disappointed and asked again, his voice softer, "Sister Taozi, are you really not coming back for lunch? The braised pork ribs made by my mom are delicious."
His question made Su Tao feel that it was a pity if she didn't get to eat the braised pork ribs. She hesitated for a moment, and finally thought of a compromise solution. "Leave a few pieces for me, I'll eat them when I go back."
"You must leave some for me, but you can't say that I asked you to do so. You left them for me yourself."
