Chapter 408 The Maid Who Pushes Away 14

'Dangdangdang'

"Who is it? The yard is not locked, just walk in."

Old Mrs. Xia replied as she walked towards the yard. When she saw the face of the person who came, she was stunned and stood there, tears streaming down her face.

"Who is it, old lady?"

Old Master Xia was a little surprised to see his wife remained silent. When someone came out and saw them, he was also stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. "Tao...you are Taotao, right? You have grown up. Come in and sit down. Old lady, please make Taotao a cup of sugar water."

"Hey, hey, okay, I'll go right away. Taotao, come in quickly."

"Grandma, I'm not thirsty, you..."

The old lady rushed into the kitchen, and Xu Tao did not try to stop her. Seeing the old man looking at her eagerly, a smile spread across her face, and she said sweetly, "Grandfather."

"Hey, eh, eh."

Old Master Xia immediately smiled brightly and brought his people into the house to ask about their well-being. When the old lady came in with the sweet water, the two of them started chatting happily.

"Taotao, come and drink."

"Thank you grandma."

"Why are you being so polite to your family, kid? You've suffered so much these years."

The old lady stroked her granddaughter's hair, feeling a surge of emotion. Back then, she was just a skinny little girl, but now she has grown into a big girl. Living alone outside, she must have endured so much hardship.

"Grandma, I'm not bitter. Where are the pomelo and the little tree?"

Xu Tao came back this time to see her younger brothers and sisters, and also to go back to Guihua Village in the evening to treat her parents.

His father's leg couldn't be delayed any longer. If he delayed any longer, the bones would become crooked and would have to be broken again, causing him to suffer twice more.

She originally thought that the adoption issue could be resolved within half a month, but unexpectedly a pregnant woman appeared. More than 30 years have passed, and waiting for a month or so to find out the truth would be considered a short time.

"Yuzu and Xiaoshu are in the cellar. I'll take you there."

Xu Tao nodded and followed the old lady into the cellar. When she saw the two figures huddled together, her eyes suddenly felt sore.

Hearing the noise, Xu You anxiously asked, "Grandma, can we go out now? Are Dad and Mom okay? I miss... my sister! You are my sister!!!"

Xu You put down her brother in her arms and ran straight towards the person in front of her. She stopped half a meter away, tears rolling down her face.

It’s her sister, it’s her sister, her sister is back.

"Grapefruit."

Xu Tao directly took the little girl into his arms and patted her back. The touch of the bones in his hands made her feel sore and astringent.

Xu Shu stood obediently at the back, staring at people with curious eyes. She was so pretty, she must be the eldest sister her mother was talking about. Her mother said the eldest sister was so beautiful.

Mother said that elder sister had suffered a lot and he must be nice to her in the future, but he has nothing now, so how can he be nice to her?

The little guy's face was wrinkled, and he kept rummaging through his pockets, hoping that there would be a sweet candy in it to give to his big sister.

"Xiaoshu, come here."

"Me...me?"

Xu Shu pointed at herself, got a definite answer and walked over timidly. When she entered the warm embrace, she squinted her eyes happily. Big sister is so gentle.

Xu Tao stayed with the brother and sister for a while and figured out the whole story.

The reason why the two were in the cellar was because Old Man Xu brought his family to make trouble some time ago and wanted to take the two back.

Fortunately, Xia Shitou, who was fishing in the creek, knew Old Man Xu and ran home in advance to report the news. The old couple hurriedly hid the people and said that the siblings had gone back long ago.

Old Man Xu and the others were unwilling to believe it, so they turned the Xia family's house upside down and wanted to smash things when they couldn't find anyone. Fortunately, Xia Miao's husband's family arrived in time to take charge, and they left in disgrace.

After everyone left, Grandpa Xia and the others did not dare to take the brother and sister out, fearing that Old Man Xu and the others would make a surprise attack. So they found a small bed to place the brother and sister in, and expanded the area around them, otherwise the consequences of lack of air circulation would be disastrous.

"Ah, it's also my grandmother's fault."

"Grandma, what are you talking about? The three of us siblings are able to survive thanks to you and Grandpa."

When Xia Miao gave birth, Old Lady Xu didn't care at all and let her fend for herself. The midwife didn't even provide any nutrition. It was Old Lady Xia who felt sorry for her daughter and took her home to recuperate when she was about to give birth. However, it wasn't long before Old Lady Xu came and took her back.

The Xia family's small number of members could not withstand the large Xu family, so they had to compromise.

The Xia family had two daughters in total, and no brothers from the next room. In the eyes of outsiders, they were undoubtedly a family with no descendants. They were the lowest class family in the village, and anyone with a son could step on their heels.

Old Master Xia didn't take it seriously and lived his own life behind closed doors. Although he also wanted to have a son, his wife's body was damaged when she gave birth to their youngest daughter and she could no longer get pregnant, so he compromised.

Old Master Xia was originally just a small beggar in the town. He was lucky enough to receive silver as a reward from a nobleman so that he could live a normal life.

He bought two acres of fertile land in the village closest to the town and settled down there. Later, he got married through a matchmaker and had a complete family. Therefore, he cared more about his wife than his missing son.

What's more, he is lucky to have two daughters who are of his own blood. People should be content and not be too greedy, otherwise what they have may be taken away.

He had no intention of marrying a son-in-law. His family was not a wealthy one. Moreover, how many men who wanted to marry into his family nowadays had good character? He couldn't harm his child because of his selfish motives.

Moreover, he originally had no surname, and his surname was Xia. He found out his benefactor's surname and took it himself. It didn't matter whether it was passed down or not.

But Xia He wanted to be filial to her parents, so she secretly looked for a good partner and went to find him.

Zhao Liushi's family had many boys. His mother was fertile and gave birth to nine children, all of whom were boys. It was difficult for them to have food, let alone get married.

It was difficult for him to attract attention because he was not very popular, so since he was 25 years old and still hadn't found a wife, he would naturally be willing to accept someone who came to him.

The Zhao family was even more willing. They had given birth to so many sons that they thought they would be a waste of them, but now they could marry off as many as they wanted. They received two taels of betrothal gifts and married the girl off.

From then on, it was as if the door to a new world had opened. I promised to marry off all my sons who had not found wives but were willing to be sons-in-law. Suddenly, the house became much more spacious and we could afford to eat!

Therefore, the Zhao family was extremely grateful to Xia He. Whenever there was a problem, they would bring a large group of people to support them, which made the Xia family's life much better.

The days gradually got better, but unfortunately, fate played a trick on her. Xia He accidentally slipped and gave birth prematurely when she was seven months pregnant. She gave birth to a frail eldest son who would get sick when the weather changed. Her life became even more difficult than before. The old couple in the Xia family wanted to help their little daughter but they were powerless and often felt indebted.
