Chapter 78: I Am Whatever Sister Taozi Is
Xie Yuntang turned his head at the voice and looked over. He immediately said with joy, "Sister Taozi, you’re awake." After saying that, he poured her some water and brought it over.
After Su Tao took and drank the water, her throat felt much better. She raised her hand to pinch his face, and said seriously, "Have you been reading?"
"Yes."
Xie Yuntang took the bowl and said softly, "Sister Taozi, I heard you snoring."
He didn't dislike it, he just wanted to tell her.
Hearing that she snored, Su Tao's eyes widened, and she denied it without thinking, her voice slightly raised, "I don't snore. You heard it wrong."
In all her life, no one had ever told her that she snored.
Well, no one slept next to her, and she lived outside during university.
But she certainly didn't snore!
If she did, she wouldn’t be able to find a boyfriend in the future.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xie Yuntang quickly nodded obediently. "I heard it wrong."
The next moment, his face was cupped, and he immediately blushed when he saw the round little face in front of him.
Su Tao looked into his eyes, and their eyes met. She warned him solemnly, "Milksop, only you and I know about this. If a third person finds out, I’ll kill you." After saying this, she rubbed his little face.
She actually snored...
If this got out, she’d be embarrassed. She couldn’t accept it.
Xie Yuntang quickly took a step back and said shyly, "I won't tell anyone else."
Su Tao felt that this wasn’t safe enough, so she glanced at his lower body and whispered, "If you tell anyone, I’ll tell others that I saw you peeing."
Xie Yuntang's face immediately turned so red that it looked like it was bleeding. He looked shy and cute at the same time, and appeared even more like someone who could be bullied.
"Sister Tao... Tao... Zi, I... I... won't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, I won't tell anyone else." Su Tao blinked, then touched her stomach. She felt hungry again.
The hunger she experienced during her time at the Su family had caused her to develop a psychological trauma. She wanted to eat whenever she was a little hungry.
"Milksop, can you ask someone to make pork elbows for me? I'm hungry."
"Okay."
Xie Yuntang agreed and then ran out. As soon as he went out, Xie Ningxue came in. Her little face was frozen from the cold.
Apparently, she had been standing outside.
Xie Ningxue was probably freezing cold, so she acted snobbish and said fiercely, "How dare a maid like you lock me out."
Su Tao yawned and rolled her eyes at her. She didn't know why children from the Xie family had such bad tempers.
They weren’t likable like Milksop.
"You have such a bad temper at your young age. If you go back now, I won't bully you. If you keep refusing to leave, don't blame me for attacking a child."
"You! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?" Xie Ningxue was so angry that her face turned red.
"You’re either a human or a ghost." Su Tao made a face at her, then lowered her voice and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Before Xie Ningxue could speak, she said, "I’m an old demon from the Black Mountain. I’ve lived for hundreds of years."
"You don't believe it, right? Look at Xie Yuntang, he does whatever I say."
Xie Ningxue was skeptical, but still took a few steps back. Her voice was mixed with a hint of fear. "Don't lie to me, I don't believe it."
"Why would I lie to you? Wait, when Xie Yuntang returns, see if he listens to me."
Su Tao laughed out loud in her heart. Scaring children always worked.
Soon, Xie Yuntang came back with cakes in his hands, and said softly, "Sister Taozi, the pork elbow is being made. Eat the cakes first."
Su Tao raised an eyebrow at Xie Ningxue, then said to Xie Yuntang, "Pour me a glass of water."
Xie Yuntang nodded quickly and poured the water obediently.
Su Tao said again, "Get me the osmanthus cake."
Hearing this, Xie Yuntang searched the plate and quickly took out the osmanthus cake for her, saying happily, "Sister Taozi, here you go."
Su Tao glanced at Xie Ningxue again and said, "Feed me."
Xie Yuntang was stunned for a moment, but still fed it to her obediently.
After Xie Yuntang fed Su Tao, Xie Ningxue believed it. Otherwise, why would a master do the work of a servant?
She left the room in fear and ran away without saying a word, not caring that her hair accessory had fallen off.
Su Tao craned her neck to look. When Xie Ningxue’s figure could no longer be seen, she then stood up to pick up the hairpin on the snow. Although she couldn't tell what material it was made of, it was probably not cheap.
She entered the room and winked at Xie Yuntang. "Milksop, look, I chased her away. Aren’t I awesome?"
"Sister Taozi, what did you do?" Xie Yuntang was a little curious.
Su Tao did not hide it from him. She crossed her legs and said, "I told her I was an old demon on the Black Mountain, but she didn't believe me. I told her that you do whatever I say, and then she was scared away. You kids are so easily frightened."
Xie Yuntang looked at her carefully, shook his head, and said seriously, "Sister Taozi doesn't look like a monster at all."
She was clearly pretty.
Su Tao was certainly not a monster. She raised her hand and flicked his forehead. She pursed her lips and said, "If I were a monster, then you would be a little monster."
Xie Yuntang smiled and simply agreed, "I am whatever Sister Taozi is."
……
The wonderful days at the Xie family’s mansion ended on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year. Su Tao was more reluctant to leave than Xie Yuntang. After getting on the carriage, she leaned against the window and stared at the gate of the Xie family’s mansion.
At this time, Mrs. Xie-Qin and Xie Qing had not yet boarded the carriage, so Xie Yuntang asked in puzzlement, "Sister Taozi, don't you want to leave?"
"Of course. Life here is much better than in the countryside."
Su Tao looked at him sadly and asked, "Why do you live in the village?"
Xie Yuntang shook his head. "I don't know, I didn't ask my parents."
He paused for a moment, then said comfortingly, "Sister Taozi, if you like this place, we can come here often in the future. When the lotus flowers in the lake bloom, it will definitely be a beautiful sight."
Su Tao didn't want to see the lotus flowers. She wanted to eat the food cooked by the chefs of the Xie family’s mansion. "Milksop, you must bring me back often."
"Okay." Xie Yuntang nodded.
It was already early the next morning when the carriage arrived at the village. Mrs. Xie-Qin was worried that Su Tao would miss home, so she asked her to go home and stay for a day.
Su Tao was indeed a little worried that Lin Sanzhu would be beaten again. Perhaps she jinxed it by thinking that way because Lin Sanzhu was beaten as expected. Her face was swollen. Su Fu's face was also swollen.
Su Tao glanced at the two of them, feeling extremely disappointed with them. She said angrily, "I've only been away for a month, and your faces are bruised. If I come back later, I'm afraid you'll have become ghosts."
Originally they were happy that their daughter was back, but after hearing what she said, Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu were embarrassed. "..."
Lin Sanzhu slapped her shoulder in annoyance and said angrily, "Wretched girl, how dare you even poke fun at us."
Su Tao rubbed her arm in pain and muttered, "If you two had fought back, I wouldn't have mocked you. As grown-ups, you still let others beat you. The villagers will definitely laugh at you."
