After dinner, the old couple remembered the tools they had dropped on the roadside and ran to pick them up.

Luo Miao took this opportunity, ran to her sister-in-law with starry eyes and gave her a thumbs up. She thought that today's lunch would be spent in the nagging of her mother, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law could solve the problem with just one sentence.

"Taobao~"

Luo Feng also came over, and Xu Tao had no choice but to hug them on both sides, using both hands to stroke the two dog heads.

Luo's father and mother returned...

"Dad, try on the clothes we bought for you and see if they fit you."

"Hey hey hey, I'll try it now."

Father Luo was very happy. After washing his hands, he ran back to the house excitedly with the clothes.

Tang Hongxia began to sob with heartache again, thinking that she would let the children return her own clothes when they could be returned. However, she waited for a long time and still her clothes were not returned. She secretly glanced at the bag and saw that it was empty.

I felt inexplicably uncomfortable in my heart, and sat aside with a pout. When I saw the old man come out, my grievance reached its peak.

"Dad, sure. You look ten years younger in this."

"Yes, Dad, my sister-in-law has a really good taste. She liked this dress the moment she saw it. My brother and I were worried that the color might be too bright, but I didn't expect it to suit you so well."

Father Luo smiled happily, and he also felt that this color suited him.

"Dad, there's another pair of shoes. Try them on."

After Luo's father finished dressing up, he glanced at his awkward wife and said loudly, "As for me, I'm going to put it on and show it to my old brothers. They're sure to envy me to death."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and went out to chat happily. The depressed Tang Hongxia returned to the room, leaned against the head of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

"sister in law......"

Xu Tao shook her head. It was not the right time yet. Giving money to Luo's mother now would only make her happy for a while before she would start to feel bad about the money again.

There was no internet at home, and it was boring for the three of us to stay at home, so we decided to go for a walk outside.

Tang Hongxia waited for a long time but no one came in to talk to her. When she left, everyone had left, so she started to sulk alone.

Xu Tao and his two companions strolled along the dirt road. After a while, their legs were covered with mud and their shoes were in a terrible state.

"Taobao, how about we go back?"

Luo Feng originally wanted to take his wife to see the secret base where he and his sister lived when they were children, but he didn't expect that it had rained yesterday and the road had not dried up yet, and it was muddy everywhere.

"It's okay. It's already dirty, so why should we worry about it?"

Xu Tao ran first, and the brother and sister followed behind with smiles on their faces.

When we reached halfway up the mountain, the scenery was so beautiful that I recorded a video and showed it to my best friend, who responded quickly.

Lin Qiyue: Wow~ It’s a fairyland. Taotao, please tell me where this is?

Xu Tao: Didn’t I tell you yesterday to go to my mother-in-law’s house? This is their village. It’s very beautiful, but there are dirt roads everywhere. Look, there are a lot of oranges around. When they are ripe, I will bring some back for you to try.

Lin Qiyue: You are not honest~

Xu Tao was embarrassed. Qi Yue knew her quite well, so she made a video call to her and the two began to discuss.

The brother and sister were waiting not far away, making sure they could see the person but not miss what was being said.

"Hey~"

A sigh reached the ears of the brother and sister. After looking around and seeing nothing, Luo Miao said in a trembling voice: "Brother... could it be... could it be?"

Luo Feng patted his sister's shoulder and thought, how could it be possible in broad daylight? He started looking around and found the old village chief with a weathered face under an orange tree.

"Uncle Wei."

Wei Mancang didn't react at first, his brow still frowning. When someone walked up to him, he realized who was calling him. He looked up and saw a promising young man from the village. A smile appeared on his face, "Xiaofeng, you're back today!"

"Miaomiao is on vacation, I brought her and my wife back to see you. Why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. It's too wet. Be careful of your cold legs."

"Oh, uncle knows, I'm just worried when I see such good fruits like ours."

The fruit is not yet ripe, and people are looking forward to it maturing soon and bearing more fruit. But after it matures, they are worried about its sales. Wei Mancang contacted all the merchants he had purchased from in the past, but they complained that the journey was bumpy and the transportation fee was too high, so they didn't want to come again.

There is also a village below that grows oranges. Although their oranges are not as sweet and fragrant as those in their village, they are easier to transport. They want to make money, so they can sell them anywhere.

If you want to sell it to them, the price has to be 30% lower than before. The villagers don’t make much money to begin with, and if it’s 30% lower than the cost, how can you do that?

Luo Feng was silent. The road was indeed a problem. Even if they took the goods to the city to sell, they wouldn't be able to bring much.

Xu Tao came over after finishing the call. She heard what the two were discussing but did not interrupt. She said they would talk about it after Qi Yue came to inspect tomorrow. Now everything was just empty talk.

The three of them said goodbye to the village chief and met many villagers on the way home. Most of them greeted them harmoniously. However, a work-off aunt passed by and said a few words to them in a sarcastic tone, then glared at them hatefully and turned away.

Xu Tao was a little puzzled, "We have a bad relationship with them?"

Luo Feng didn't plan to hide it, so he gave his wife a general account of the situation of the two families. Luo Miao listened carefully. She was nine years younger than her brother, and she really didn't know what had happened in the family earlier.

The aunt who glared at them just now should be Luo Feng's biological mother, but Uncle Luo was lazy by nature and did no housework at home. He just sat there waiting for food and clothes to be provided for him. No matter how Grandpa Luo disciplined him, he refused to listen, so Grandpa simply adopted him away.

However, he still raised her by his side, just gave her a title. Uncle Luo always held a grudge against this matter, and when he got his share of the property, he immediately left the Luo family, stating that he was no longer a member of the third branch of the Luo family.

He never even came to see his father when he passed away, and every time he saw his younger brother, he looked like a black-eyed chicken. The relationship between the younger generations of the two families was not good either, and it was a blessing if they didn't make a few sarcastic remarks when they met.

Xu Tao nodded. She remembered that when she got engaged, Luo's father said he would invite a relative over, but he came back with a unhappy look on his face. It must be Uncle Luo who was invited at that time.

After a good night's sleep, Xu Tao stretched comfortably. When she went out and saw Luo's mother who seemed to be hesitant to speak, she smiled and greeted her and ignored her.

"Taobao, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Wontons, we'll just use the ones we brought back yesterday."

The Luo family usually drinks porridge in the morning. Xu Tao likes to have something flavorful in the morning. She had already informed Luo's mother yesterday. Seeing the pot full of porridge, she didn't say anything and just let them eat theirs.

"Xiao Tao, look, I've already cooked the porridge, how about..."

"Mom, I don't want porridge in the morning."

Luo's mother mumbled something, no one knew what she was saying. She walked over to her son and was about to take the spatula, but was dodged.

"Mom, I'll be fine. You go and have a rest."

"How can that be? You work so hard every day. I don't want you to work harder when you get home. I'm used to it. I'll do it."
