Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused
Chapter 409 The Maid Who Pushes Away 15
Xu Tao knew that the Xu family was too busy to cause trouble recently, so she took the siblings out of the cellar. The air in there was not very well circulated, so it was definitely not a good idea to stay there all the time.
The two people who were exposed to the sunlight squinted their eyes and showed big smiles at the corners of their mouths. The air that came out was so fresh.
'Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough'
The man kept coughing, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. The old couple in the yard changed their expressions and immediately walked into the house.
"Mu Tou, drink some water."
Xia Mutou was coughing so hard that he couldn't speak. He lay powerlessly on the bed, his face pale and bloodless. He forced the corners of his mouth to smile at his grandparents.
He felt so sad that he wished he could just die and be done with it, so that he wouldn't be a burden to his family.
But when he was determined to die, he saw the faces of his grandparents and mother and hesitated. Although he would be relieved if he went, how could his loved ones bear to see their loved ones die before them?
He was always hesitating whether to live a lingering life or to be liberated, and he has only managed to hold on until now.
The old couple felt endless sadness in their hearts. Everything was directed at them. Why were they so cruel to their children? They had been law-abiding all their lives.
"Grandpa and Grandma, some time ago I met a down-and-out wandering Taoist priest. I felt sorry for him so I bought him some buns. Unexpectedly, he gave me a pill in return, saying it could cure a weakness he had in his mother's womb.
Look, it's right here. Do you want to give it to your wooden cousin?"
The old couple stared at the porcelain vase in their granddaughter's hands with burning eyes, feeling surprised and hesitant. They hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do.
"Cousin, I...I want to eat."
"Mu Tou, how about waiting for your parents to come back before eating?"
Old Mrs. Xia asked cautiously, saying that such a big matter should be discussed after Liu Shi and the others came back.
"Mom, what do you mean wait until we get back?"
As soon as Mrs. Xia finished speaking, Xia He and Zhao Liushi came into the house, dusted off their bodies, and then walked to their son.
Mrs. Xia then recounted the story. Xia He had been preoccupied with her coughing son until she realized her niece had returned. She said sheepishly, "Tao Tao is back! Look, Auntie, her eyesight isn't working well. Liu Shi, go get some meat."
"No need, auntie. I brought the meat back. Let's talk about my cousin first."
"Cousin? What's going on with your cousin?"
Old Mrs. Xia glared at her eldest daughter. Her brain can only receive one message, right?
"Mom, what you said is true, Taotao, is this true?"
"Aunt, I'm not sure either."
Xia He suppressed her excitement and held the porcelain vase as if it were a treasure. The couple discussed it and decided to respect their son's opinion.
Before eating, Old Man Xia stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Mu Tou. Let me be frank. Tao Tao selflessly took out this priceless pill. No matter what happens next, good or bad, Liu Shi and Xiao He, you all have to be grateful to Tao Tao."
"Dad, we know."
How could they hide Mu Tou's thoughts over the years? It was just that they were selfish and wanted to keep the child. As long as he was alive, they would get a response. But they also knew that they could only hold on for about two years.
Whatever the consequences of eating it, it would be the child's life. Tao Tao's willingness to give it up was a great favor.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xia Mutou swallowed the pill, suppressed the urge to cough, pursed his lips tightly, and soon he fell asleep. This result shocked everyone. They went over to feel his breath and felt his heart calmer.
"Grandpa and grandma, Yuzu and I will just stay here to look after my cousin, you guys go and get busy."
The four of them were a little worried, but they had to cook, clean the yard, and do farm work in the afternoon, so they could only look back every few steps as they went out.
The two siblings were easily fooled and were soon sent out. When Xu Tao was the only one left in the room, silver needles appeared in her hands and she used them in a hurry, pulling them out just before she heard footsteps.
"Taotao, the meal is ready, go eat, I'll stay here."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go out first."
Xu Tao wiped the sweat from her forehead and left the house. She treated him secretly because she couldn't explain her medical skills, and the fewer people who knew about it, the safer she would be.
My cousin needs two more acupuncture treatments to recover, so it seems she will have to stay in the hospital for at least two more days. Fortunately, she asked the lady for five days' leave.
The Xu family only had three rooms. Somehow they negotiated to make the largest room available for the three siblings. They put the bed from the cellar in it, with Xu Shu sleeping in one room and Xu Tao and Xu You sleeping in the other.
Xu Tao originally refused, but she couldn't resist the insistence of her grandparents and aunt and accepted it. After dinner, she took her sister and brother back to the house.
As for my grandparents, they were accompanying my cousin whose condition had improved. He woke up before dinner and looked much better than before. The happy old couple kowtowed to thank their ancestors on the spot.
Of course, they also did not forget their granddaughter Xu Tao. They told Xia Mu directly that he must repay his cousin in the future. Without his cousin, he would not have such good fortune.
Xia He and his wife also nodded in agreement, and their attitude towards Xu Tao became even warmer, to the point that even their own children had to stand aside.
Even the little brat Xia Shitou called her "sister" and served her tea and water attentively.
Xu Tao was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, so she took her younger brother and sister and ran away after dinner.
"Sister, will you still leave?"
Late at night, when Xu Tao thought the two were asleep, she suddenly spoke, patted the little girl beside her, and said softly, "Sister will have to go back to Miss in a couple of days, but our family can get together in the capital soon. Do you want to go?"
Xu You lowered her eyebrows in disappointment after hearing the first answer, but immediately perked up after hearing the second one. She hurriedly hugged her sister's arm and nodded repeatedly. Then, remembering that it was dark and her sister couldn't see her movements clearly, she said anxiously: "Sister, I am willing. As long as I can be with you, I will go anywhere."
The two sisters are only one year apart in age and do almost everything together. Therefore, the most important person in Xu You's heart is her sister Xu Tao. No one can compare to her, including Xu's father, mother and younger brother.
When her sister was taken away, she felt very guilty, thinking that if she had come back earlier, her sister would not have been taken away, and she stayed because of her sister.
In the past three years, she really wanted to see her sister, but her grandmother would not let her go. Every time her father forced her to go, she would cry and wipe her tears. He also threatened her that if she dared to leave Guihua Village, he would go to her sister to make trouble. She never dared to go out again.
She was scared when she came to her grandparents' house this time, fearing that her grandmother would cause trouble for her sister, but her father promised them that she would not, so she followed them. She was also afraid that she would be sold and would never see her sister again.
