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

"Taotao, you're finally awake. Are you still feeling unwell? I'll go get a doctor for you."

"No...No, I...I want to drink some water."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

Xu Tao stood up with the help of the woman in green, and only felt alive again after drinking a glass of water.

"How are you, Taotao? Are you still thirsty? I'll pour you another glass of water."

"I'm not thirsty anymore. I want to sleep a little longer."

The woman in green slowly laid the person down, tucked in the quilt for him, and then quietly left.

Xu Tao heard the footsteps slowly going away, and began to accept the memory with peace of mind. Before she knew it, her face had become wrinkled.

She was Xu Tao, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Xu family in Guihua Village. Her family was not in financial difficulty after all, they could afford to send her fourth uncle Xu Sizhu to school. However, he took the exam six times and failed even to become a Tongsheng.

Old Master Xu dreamed of raising a scholar. Even though he knew his fourth son was not a good student, he still persisted and sold several acres of good farmland to send Xu Sizhu from the town to the city to study. However, there was still no improvement. He failed the imperial examination for the seventh time, just like the previous six times.

The family was already tightening their belts to make ends meet, and if they sold the land, the Xu family would not be able to survive, so they thought of selling their granddaughter. The Xu family had four girls in total.

Xu Yin from the eldest wife's family is already married. The second wife has two girls, her and her younger sister Xu You, who are of the right age. That year, she was twelve years old and her younger sister was eleven. The third wife has no daughter. The fourth wife's daughter, Xu Can, is eight years old, but she has a father who is educated, so naturally he will not sell her.

Selling a niece to her uncle to study is ultimately a bad reputation, so her grandfather Xu Mangen wanted to abandon the second branch of the family, sell the two sisters and then sever ties with the second branch. Then no one would be able to blame them.

If Xu Sizhu passed the imperial examination and became a scholar in the future, he would not have two nieces who worked as maids. Anyway, the second wife, Xia Miao, had a bad health condition after giving birth to the third child. She was sick every day and got a headache and fever when doing housework. The housework done by the second wife was enough to support the whole family, not to mention making any contribution to the family.

Xu Mangen did what he said. He knew that it would be impossible to sell his granddaughter with the second brother and his wife around, so he paid a woman from the same village as Xia He to come and report a false message, saying that the old couple of the Xia family were dying and asked them to go there quickly.

Her parents followed the other person without thinking much. When she returned home after washing clothes, she was caught by the old couple. Soon after, a woman came and took her away.

Her mouth was stuffed with cloth, so she couldn't make a sound and was easily dragged into the car.

Her younger sister Xu You, who came back a step after her, wanted to rush in to help but was stopped by her eyes and hid quietly. When her parents realized that they had been cheated and hurried back to redeem her, it was no use because they didn't even know the name of the old woman.

After arguing for a while, the old couple still refused to give in. In the end, it was not until his father went to the city to bring Xu Sizhu back and put a kitchen knife to his neck that he learned about her.

But when they found her, it was too late. She had already been sold to the Wen Mansion. It was not easy for someone who had signed a death contract to redeem herself. The only way was to spend money to ask the servants around the master for help.

As for the master, they dare not even think about it. The people they bought from outside will not be able to see the master for three to five years.

Xu Tao comforted her parents and told them to go back and save money, saying that she would eventually save enough to cover the financial crisis.

At first, she lived in fear in the Wen Mansion, but fortunately, she was lucky and was assigned to the big kitchen. The people there were very nice and took good care of her as a little girl.

Gradually, she fell in love with the life here. She could earn two hundred copper coins every month, and was given new clothes every year. The food was better than at home, and she could eat meat several times a month.

The most important thing is that there is no yelling or scolding from grandparents here, and she is very satisfied.

As she came into contact with more and more maids, she began to envy the maids around her master, whose food, clothing and other expenses were no worse than those of the young ladies in the town.

In addition, seeing that the other servants were all trying to please her, she also wanted to live such a life and secretly made up her mind.

After meeting her parents, she asked them for the ten taels of silver they had saved, added her monthly salary and the ten taels of bonus silver, used some connections, and after some manipulation, was assigned to the courtyard of Wen Ruyi, the fourth daughter of the Wen family, as a maid.

Only after becoming a servant did she realize how happy her previous life was. The servants in the yard flattered the powerful and bullied the weak. They could do whatever they wanted to a maid like her who had no one to support her. All the dirty and tiring work was given to her, and she would be beaten if she resisted.

It is not easy to appeal, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it, quietly looking for an opportunity. After half a year of waiting, she finally got what she wanted.

Wen Ruxue, the third daughter born out of wedlock, has always disliked her younger sister who is the same age as her. Why is she loved by the elders? She is more talented and beautiful than her, and even the man she is engaged to is much taller than her.

Although she was born out of wedlock, she was raised by her stepmother. She couldn't learn from her stepmother's partiality, so she must have been resentful. She coaxed the person to the lake in the courtyard, dismissed the servants, and cruelly pushed the person into the lake and left in a hurry.

She followed behind but she was not stupid. If she went down to save people when no one was around, what might be waiting for her was not life-saving grace, but the Wen family might kill her directly in order to cover up the truth.

She waited quietly for the opportunity, and only pretended to carry food when she saw the Fourth Young Lady's personal maid calling anxiously. After all, it was true that she was often hungry due to being bullied, and it was not uncommon for her to ask the kitchen for some food when she couldn't bear it anymore.

Under the watchful eyes of the head maid, she dropped the steamed bun and jumped into the lake. After struggling to rescue the person to the shore, she fell into a coma.

When she woke up and faced the interrogation of the Wen family, she knew nothing about anything. She just said that she was so hungry that she went to the kitchen to get food and met them. When she saw the young lady and the maid calling for help, she jumped in to save them.

As for being able to swim, it is a very common thing. There are many girls in the countryside who cannot swim, and they would secretly give insults to the servants who have bullied them.

The Wen family investigated and did not raise any suspicions. Miss Wen was saved by her at the most critical moment. Before she fainted, she remembered her appearance clearly and became dependent on her. She successfully became the maid beside the eldest lady.

With the help of the life-saving grace, she was treated much better than other maids, but she was still not satisfied. She always wanted something better once she had it.

When she saw that the young ladies were all dressed in silk and satin, with gold hairpins and kingfisher feathers, she was extremely envious and thought it would be great if she were a master.

She didn't dare to hope to become the wife, but she could still try her best. Thanks to the favor of the fourth lady, she had the honor to meet all four young masters of the Wen family.

She looked down on those born out of wedlock, and she didn't like the fourth son, Wen Youchu, who was born out of wedlock, because he was lazy. The only one left was the eldest son, Wen Youyan, who was born out of wedlock.
