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

Chapter 410 The Maid Who Pushes Away 16

In fact, she really wanted to tell her father that if grandma wanted to sell her, she could sell her to the Wen Mansion, but when she saw her mother crying all day long, she didn't dare to say it.

"Sister, can I go too?"

Xu Shu heard the sisters talking in a low voice, but he couldn't help but speak out. He also wanted to join them.

"Of course you can, Xiaoshu. Do you want to study?"

"Study? Big sister, I don't want to study."

In Xu Shu's impression, studying would cost a lot of money, and in the end he would have to sell his relatives. He didn't want to study at all, he just wanted to live with his parents and sisters.

Xu Tao raised an eyebrow. People nowadays should cherish the opportunity to study. When she couldn't figure it out, she asked directly. After a moment's silence after receiving the answer, she said softly, "Xiaoshu, going to school doesn't mean you have to sell out your family. Xiaoshu likes to study and our family can afford it, but the prerequisite is that Xiaoshu really studies hard."

"Sister, what's the point of studying?"

Xu Shucai was only seven years old and had never been to school. The only scholar he had ever met was his fourth uncle, and he didn't think there was anything good about him.

"On a larger scale, it allows you to experience a different world, and your mind will broaden with learning. On a smaller scale, learning to read and write will open up more options for Xiaoshu. He can choose to farm like his father, or work as an accountant."

Xu You added, "It can also support myself and my family. Scholars are respected outside. If Xiaoshu can pass the imperial examination, grandpa and grandma won't dare to treat us like this."

Xu Shu's little brain couldn't understand the rest of what was said, but when he heard that he could support his parents and sisters, he immediately sat up straight. For the first time, he thought about going to school, but he was sensible enough not to say anything. He decided to tell his parents when the family had a lot of money.

The three siblings chatted until the beginning of midnight. When they heard the sound of even breathing, they slowly stood up and tiptoed out of the house. Afraid that opening the door would make too much noise, they simply climbed over the wall to leave.

When he came out of the village and saw that there was no one around, he took out his electric scooter and rode towards Guihua Village. He quickly arrived at the village entrance at lightning speed. As soon as he put the electric scooter into the space, he heard a noise in front of the right and immediately hid aside.

"You want to die? Why don't you stay in the city and come here?"

"You heartless person, I wanted to come see you, couldn't I? I came here alone at night and you didn't even bother to care about my safety. I'm just good-tempered and don't bother with you."

"Of course I care about you. If I didn't, how could I be so anxious? Cui Niang, you came to see me in the middle of the night. Did something happen to Xin'er?"

"What could happen? It's all good. Your grandson is getting married soon. I came to inform you."

"Really? What's the temperament of my granddaughter-in-law? Her family is an official."

Liu Cui rolled her eyes at the old man in annoyance. The old man didn't even bother to take her home. It must have been uncomfortable to talk outside in such a cold weather.

Xu Mangen naturally understood her thoughts, but he was a cautious person. Even if his wife was thrown into jail, he would not dare to take her back for fear of being discovered. He simply took her in his arms and coaxed her with sweet words.

Xu Tao's mouth twitched. She really didn't know how old her nominal grandfather was now, but her father was 33 years old this year. If you extrapolate his age, he seemed to be only in his 50s. He wasn't really that old.

The two of them were whispering to each other. It must be said that Old Man Xu was really capable and he quickly coaxed the other person into submission. Xu Tao couldn't stand what happened next and went straight to Xu's house.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the room, Xu Tao rummaged around. With the experience from many lifetimes, he quickly dug out the Xu couple's small treasury. Looking at the things in the boxes, he fell silent. With so many good things, selling just one or two of them could allow Xu Sizhu to go to a good school. Why did he sell land and people all these years?

If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Put all the things into the space and go straight to the house in the backyard.

"Who?"

"Shh~ Daddy, it's me, Xu Tao."

"Taotao! It's Tao...cough cough cough...Is Tao back?"

"Mom, it's me, don't get excited."

Xu Tao immediately went over to help the man with his back massage, and only said after the coughing stopped, "Mom and Dad, I came back to heal you, but you must not tell anyone that I've been back."

"Don't worry, Taotao, we won't tell anyone."

The couple still had a lot to say and ask, but they didn't want to waste their daughter's time, so they let the acupuncture and leg wrapping be done on them.

It took an hour and a half for Xu Tao to show the two of them what was happening. Without saying anything more, she simply gave a few instructions and jumped out the window to leave.

The couple looked at the disappearing figure with mixed feelings in their hearts. They were happy about their daughter's ability and sad about their own incompetence.

"Brother Mangen, you must remember your promise. I'll give you another year, and you must come and reunite with us mother and son."

"Don't worry, Cui Niang. I'll go find you and your daughter after I've packed up everything here. You go first. I'll go back after you've gone far."

Liu Cui looked back every few steps as she left, with affection evident in her eyes.

After everyone left, Xu Mangen looked around and didn't see anyone rushing home. He observed the furnishings in the house and saw that nothing had changed, so he held his waist and went back to sleep.

Xu Tao looked at the figure in front of him, feeling confused. He followed the person straight away. When he saw the person walked into the town and rented a carriage, he immediately hired a carriage and followed closely.

"Little girl, who are you in front of me?"

"The person in front is my great aunt who I take great care of. My grandmother and the others didn't want her to marry a peddler, so she ran away in a rage. My grandmother was so angry that she died, and my grandfather had a stroke and is bedridden.

I was able to recognize her because she is an identical twin of my aunt. I followed her because I wanted to know her location so that my grandfather could be at ease.

The driver was full of emotion. This family really loved their daughter. It would be good enough if he didn't kick her out of the house, let alone go looking for her himself.

Xu Tao made up stories all the way, and the driver listened carefully, his eyes full of sympathy.

The carriage bumped along for an hour and a half before arriving at Shunqing Prefecture. The driver even gave her two copper coins off the bill. Xu Tao thanked him with a smile, and waved hurriedly as she watched him walk away.

He followed the man all the way and saw him enter the government office through the back door. He frowned and was about to ask someone when his hand was grabbed.

"Whoever you are, let me go immediately, otherwise..."

"Atao, it's me."

"Wen Youchu, why are you here if you're not staying in Anping Prefecture?"

"This isn't a good place to talk, A Tao, let's go to the restaurant and talk."

Xu Tao followed the people to the restaurant. All the facilities inside were exactly the same as those in Anping Prefecture's restaurant. She knew that this was also the Wen family's property.

No, to be more precise, it is the Luo family's property.
