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

"Don't...don't cry. It's my fault. I...I...I...go ahead and hit me."

"Then do you agree to what I just said?"

"Promise, I promise. As long as you don't cry, I will promise you everything."

Xu Tao wiped away her tears and rolled her eyes. She should have agreed earlier.

Tang Nian was stunned. Was he being cheated?

"A man's word is his bond. Don't go back on your word. I'll be waiting for you to come and propose marriage."

Xu Tao stood up and left, not giving the other party any time to react. After solving a big problem in his heart, he had some leisure time and took Bicao for a stroll.

The decline of the dynasty has become apparent. Most of the people on the streets look miserable, but the young masters of aristocratic families can ride their horses. They will not slow down when they meet the people, but will ride away arrogantly without even looking at the damaged property.

The common people dared not to be angry or speak out, they could only consider themselves unlucky and pack up their things while wiping away tears.

"Wow, mother, our eggs. Without eggs, how can we treat Daddy's illness?"

The boy, who was about seven years old, held the broken eggs in his hands and couldn't help crying. His family had saved up so many eggs for two months, and now only five were intact.

The woman's face was weather-beaten and she shed tears silently. This world is too cruel to survive.

"Sell me these five eggs. How much are they?"

When the woman saw the fairy-like person, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, opened and closed her mouth but no sound came out, and sweat broke out on her forehead due to anxiety.

The boy stopped crying and replied quickly, "Miss, they're one penny each. Just give me five pennies. Don't worry, our eggs are big and delicious. I guarantee you'll want more."

Xu Tao laughed out loud. This kid is quite good at business. "Here you go. Make sure you keep the five cents."

The boy took the silver and found a hard object in his hand. He took a look and suddenly opened his mouth wide. He wanted to return it but saw the other party shaking his head. Looking at the receding back, tears filled his eyes again.

"Shi Tou, let's go back."

The woman sighed and went to pick some grass leaves nearby to put under the bed. She could fry the eggs when she got home early.

When he got home, he saw the silver in his son's hand and hurriedly asked him why. When he learned that it was given by the young lady, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Xu Tao had no idea what was happening here and had no interest in strolling around anymore. People these days were living such a miserable life that it made her feel uncomfortable. She was about to go home when she heard a sharp voice.

"Hey, who is it? Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Xu family who is about to get married? Why, is she adapting to the poor life in advance?"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and the maid beside her followed suit and laughed.

Xu Tao narrowed her eyes and thought of the woman in front of her, Wei Wanyin. His father held the same official position as her own, so she felt relieved.

"Why, are you mute?"

Xu Tao fanned her nose and took two steps back exaggeratedly.

"Sister Yin. What did you eat today? Why does your breath stink so bad? Yue~ I'm sorry Yin... Yue~"

Xu Tao leaned on Bicao, covering her nose and frowning.

Seeing this, the onlookers felt as if the air was filled with a foul odor and hurriedly retreated. Once one person did this, it was easy for others to follow suit. In an instant, a vacuum zone appeared around Wei Wanyin.

"You...you're slandering me. Don't believe what she says. She's deliberately framing me."

"Sister Yin, we have no grudges in the past or the present, so why would I wrongly accuse you? Besides, all the uncles and aunts around here have noses, so how could they wrongly accuse you?"

"Yes, little girl, I think you have an upset stomach. Go see a doctor right away."

"No, we have to move further away. It stinks."

"You...you just wait for me."

Wei Wanyin's fingers were shaking like Parkinson's disease, she glared at everyone present angrily, and left as if escaping.

Xu Tao curled her lips, thinking that his psychological endurance was too poor.

After returning home, Xu Tao felt a little bored. In the past, her mother would force her and her younger sister to practice the piano at this time. But now, perhaps she has realized the changes in the family and has relaxed a lot on their behavior.

Seeing the young lady's boredom, Bicao thought of the peach tree in the backyard and suggested, "Miss, the peach tree is in full bloom now. Would you like to go and see it?"

Xu Tao suddenly remembered something, stood up quickly, and patted the dirt in his hands, "Bi Cao, go find a hoe, I'll wait for you in Lanxiang Courtyard."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Tao walked to the front of Lanxiang Courtyard and stood still, staring blankly at the door plaque, tears unconsciously sliding down her cheeks.

Pushing open the old wooden door, the inside was already dilapidated.

When she was a child, she was ignorant. After her aunt passed away, she did not allow anyone to come in. She thought that if her aunt was in the yard, she would come back. But how long had it been since she last came here?

Scenes came to her mind: her aunt, despite her sick body, was standing in the corridor watching her playing in the yard. Every time she sweated, she would carefully wipe it for her, touch her nose and say that she was a naughty girl.

Her aunt was sitting in front of this wooden table making clothes for her. She opened the wooden box and found the clothes still intact inside.

Xu Tao walked carefully through every corner of the yard, with a smile on her lips. Everywhere was filled with beautiful memories.

"Miss."

"Give me the hoe."

Xu Tao walked under the peach tree and touched the roots. Her aunt loved peach trees the most because they were enjoyable to look at and the fruits were sweet and delicious. Later, when she was born, her aunt said that she was her favorite little peach tree.

After digging for a cup of tea, the hoe made a dinging sound, and Xu Tao knew she had found what she was looking for. She pushed aside the dirt on the box and found the small lock, rusted and corroded, which opened with a simple twist.

When the small box was opened, ten gold ingots, several hairpins and bracelets were placed inside, and a letter was placed at the bottom.

Auntie's little peach tree, when you see this letter, it means that Auntie's peach has grown up. Auntie and I are happy that Taoer still remember our promise. The item inside is Auntie's coming-of-age gift for Taoer. The luckiest thing in Auntie's life is having Taoer.

"Auntie~"

A gust of wind blew past, and the petals fell to the ground. Xu Tao stretched out her hand, and a peach blossom quietly fell into her palm. She gently closed and opened her palm, and looked at the peach blossom flying away with the wind, with the corners of her mouth raised high.

In the courtyard not far away, Xu Hong had a conversation with his son, expressing his strong disapproval of the siblings' decision. Lingnan's harsh cold was unbearable for a girl. If Zhining had been two years older, he would have married her off sooner.

The problem that the eldest son is worried about should not happen. Tang Nian is the person he carefully selected. He has no father, mother, brothers or sisters, and his daughter will not be bullied by her in-laws.

Although he is a little taciturn, he is an honest and enthusiastic person. When Tao'er gets married, he will give her a sum of money to support herself, plus a dowry. As long as Tao'er doesn't do anything stupid, she will be able to live a safe and smooth life. It is better than suffering with them.
