Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 163: Separation and Escape from Famine 1 (Ancient Times)

"This money-loser is so lazy she's maggot-infested. She fell down a little and ended up lying in bed for days. She's not ashamed at all. Is there any other girl as lazy as her?"

The woman in green happily entered the house with the meat. Upon hearing her mother-in-law's insinuating words, her face immediately fell. "Mother, what are you talking about? You said it was just a small fall from such a high hill? If Ah Tao hadn't died, would you have only one granddaughter, Xu Baoxing?"

The old woman felt uneasy when she saw her third daughter-in-law coming back, but her face was very tough. "Old Third, how dare you talk to your mother-in-law! The doctor said there's nothing wrong, but your daughter is so precious."

"Yes, my daughter is precious. She is the apple of her father's and mine eyes. She is not to be abused."

The woman was too lazy to look at his expression and carried the meat into the house.

"Old Third, put the meat down."

"Mother, this money is from my dowry to nourish my daughter. Are you trying to covet my daughter-in-law's dowry? Okay, I'll go out and talk to everyone."

"Bah, I don't want your stuff, get lost."

The old lady felt aggrieved. If her youngest son had not been taking the imperial examination, she would definitely not have let him off the hook.

"Mother~"

As soon as the woman sat down, Xu Tao hugged her tightly. She really loved her mother.

The whole family in this world is top-notch, except for her, who is a softie. She thinks that her parents and brother are wrong, eats secretly and is disrespectful to her grandparents, and is very close to Xu Baoxing from her uncle's family.

The twins, Xu Baoxing and Xu Baoxing, were born one after the other, but their treatment was vastly different. Grandma considered them auspicious, partly because her eldest uncle was her second favorite son.

She often followed the twins around, gradually developing a servant-like temperament. By the time her parents and brother realized what was happening, it was too late. She refused to listen even when given examples and reasoning, stubbornly believing they were wrong and constantly contradicting them.

This time there were fruits on the hillside as well. Xu Baoxing wanted to get some but didn't dare to go over. She was ordered to get them, but she accidentally slipped down the hillside.

Xu Baoxing ran away without calling anyone to save her.

Xia Ming was hunting and passed by. Seeing that she was seriously injured, he did not care about the difference between men and women and ran to Doctor Zhou's house with her on his back. Many villagers saw him along the way.

The two of them were neither too old nor too young either. She was thirteen years old, which was the age for marriage, and Xia Ming was fifteen, which was not considered young in ancient times.

My parents had no objection. They were optimistic about Xia Ming. The young man was alone, and his daughter would not have the worries of mother-in-law and sisters-in-law after marrying him. With their help, they would be able to live a happy life.

If that boy dared to bully others, his father and three sons would not tolerate it. At worst, they could just take their daughter back. They were willing to raise her for life, as long as she was happy.

Xu Tao thought this was a good idea. She felt relieved to be able to be with her parents in the same village.

But Xu Baoxing was not happy. Although she looked down on Xia Ming's family background, she liked his face and figure.

She was different from modern women. She didn't like gentle scholars, but rather strong men. Of course, it would be better if the man could pass the imperial examination, or become a general.

Xu Baoxing kept brainwashing Xu Tao, telling her that Xia Ming was a playboy. She had seen him bullying other girls and pulling them around several times. Once, he even grabbed her and wanted to marry her.

Xu Tao believed Xu Baoxing's words without a doubt, and cried and shouted that she didn't want to get married, otherwise she would die. Her family couldn't persuade her, so they gave her a generous gift to express their gratitude, and the matter was settled.

Three months later, due to the invasion of foreign enemies and the drought in the fields, they were forced to migrate as a whole village. On the way to escape the famine, every time her parents gave her food, she would turn around and give it to her grandparents, and would accuse them of being unfilial.

When Xu Tao recalled this, she wanted to bang her head against the wall. Was she suffering from some serious illness?

On the next journey, she encountered bandits and was separated from her family, but ended up staying with her grandparents and the Zhang brothers from the same village.

They chose to hand themselves over to the rampant bandits. Fortunately, Xia Ming came and protected her.

But how could the strength of two people be able to match that of more than twenty people? It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

In the end, both of them died by the sword. She still remembered the man’s last words, that she would make it come true in this life.

"Atao, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Mommy will let Doctor Zhou take a look at you." Fang Zhi was about to get up as she said this, but her daughter hugged her even tighter.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't judge people well enough in the past and listened to their lies. This time, I was injured because of Xu Baoxing..."

"What?"

Fang Zhi felt a little uneasy when she heard this. They had always thought that their daughter had accidentally rolled down the hillside, but they didn't expect that the dead girl was also there.

In her previous life, Xu Tao just said that she wanted to eat it, but in this life she refused to take the blame and told the whole story.

"Okay, that damn girl, I won't skin her alive! Ah Tao, just lie down on the kang obediently, I'll go find your father and brother."

Xu Tao hurriedly grabbed him and said that it was almost time for everyone to come back, so there was no need to go out again. He had to let his father and the others eat so that they could exert their best strength.

Fang Zhi felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she ran to the kitchen to make noodles with minced meat, and brought them back to the room before everyone got home. She washed the pot thoroughly and didn't let them take advantage of her at all.

The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards, with her hands on her hips, cursing, "You little whore who couldn't even give birth to a child, you ruined all these little guys."

"Mom, you cooked meat today. It smells so good."

As soon as Xu Daniu got home, he went straight to the kitchen. Seeing the same black-faced steamed buns and the green leaf soup that was so light that you could see your reflection in it, he was immediately dissatisfied.

Xu Baodan, who had just returned from a crazy play at the restaurant, also ran to the kitchen. He looked around but didn't see any meat, and got a little angry. "Grandma, where's the meat? Did you steal it?"

"Oh, my precious grandson, you were eaten by a cheap bastard. I will cut your flesh tomorrow."

"Woooooo~" Xu Baodan rolled on the ground, shouting that he wanted to eat meat now.

The fat thirteen-year-old boy was lying on the ground, shrieking like a shrew.

Everyone was already tired after a long day and was annoyed by the noise.

Mr. Xu had no choice but to say, "Big brother, go to the third brother's room and get some for Baodan."

Xu Daniu knocked on the door happily, but was stunned when he went in. The food in the bowl was all gone, with no trace of meat. He turned his gaze to his niece. She was usually the most sensible and would leave whatever she had for the old man and the others, so there must be some left over.

Xu Tao finished her meal slowly in front of her uncle, burped loudly, and blinked her bright eyes. "Uncle, why are you looking at me all the time? Did Taotao do something wrong? Are you blaming me for being weak? Blaming me for not giving grandpa and grandma the nourishing foods my mother bought with her dowry money?"

Xu Tao, who was weak and wanted to get her dowry, raised her voice even more. Seeing people's faces turning blue and red, she felt more motivated to perform. She raised her hands to wipe her tears and burst into tears.
