In the eyes of outsiders, his father is the biggest cancer of the Xu family. Not only is he lazy on a daily basis, but the wife he married is also lazy and the children he gave birth to never work.

The fourth branch of their family didn't have a very good reputation in the village, but her grandmother was the most partial to them and had strong fighting ability.

I remember that when she graduated from high school, a gossipy woman made her cry. Her grandmother went to her door and scolded her for three days. Finally, the gossipy woman came to her door in person with eggs to apologize, and she finally stopped. From then on, no one dared to bring up the fact that she had no job after graduating from high school.

To outsiders, her grandmother is domineering and not to be messed with, while their fourth room is lazy and weird.

But Xu Tao didn't think so. Her grandmother was a very cute and protective old lady, and she was not a bad person either. She would only fight back when others attacked her family, and she never took the initiative to cause trouble.

Although her parents didn't like doing farm work, they worked very hard in private. In their free time, they went to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt. After they were done, they took them to the city to sell them under the pretext of visiting their eldest brother-in-law.

Oh yes, in the eyes of outsiders, her mother is not only lazy and gluttonous, but also a fool with a confused mind. She gave up her good city life and insisted on marrying a country man, and married a pretty boy who couldn't even carry anything with his hands or shoulders.

"Taobao, Taobao, Dad is back. Look what Dad brought you."

Xu Sizhu happily carried the package into the house, but was shocked when he saw his daughter's appearance. He dropped the things in his hands with a roar and rushed to the bedside, shouting angrily, "Who is this black-hearted babe who beat my sweetheart like this? Does it hurt? Daddy will take you to the city right now."

Qin Caiyun, who was one step behind, heard her husband's screams and rushed forward. Seeing her precious daughter's appearance, her eyebrows raised in anger. "That bastard actually dared to lay hands on Guai Guai. I won't let him off! Don't be afraid, Guai Guai. Mom will definitely seek justice for you."

Brother Sizhu, what are you still standing there for? Go borrow a bullock cart and take Guaiguai to the town. We'll take Guaiguai to the city tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Xu Sizhu looked at his daughter with pity, then turned around and ran away quickly, and Xu Tao couldn't stop him.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just look scary. There's no need to ask Dad to borrow a bullock cart."

"No, I have to go and see it, otherwise Mom won't be able to sleep."

Xu Tao had no way to refuse her tearful mother and could only go along with them.

The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her daughter-in-law was indeed smart and knew how to persuade the baby to be good.

"Taotao, the egg custard is ready."

"Thank you, aunt."

"Why are you being so polite, kid?"

He Chunhua felt very distressed when she saw the little girl's appearance. She only had two sons, and her sons gave birth to grandsons, so she felt very distressed about the only girl in the family. Now seeing her being bullied like this, she felt so distressed.

As an adult, she couldn't afford to argue with a younger person. She would wait until Li Erni's biological mother Wang Mei came back tomorrow and have a good chat with her.

Xu Sizhu quickly returned in a bullock cart, and the family of four went to the town hospital with the aid of a flashlight. After a checkup, the three parents were relieved to find that nothing serious was wrong.

"It's too late. Let's go stay at the second brother's place for the night."

"Okay, my second brother's house isn't far away."

Xu Tao had never been to the town so late at night before, and looked around curiously.

There were few street lights at the moment, and it was pitch black. There was really nothing to see. I leaned on my mother's shoulder and fell asleep unknowingly.

Qin Caiyun saw her daughter fall asleep, patted her gently and brought her to her arms, whispering, "Brother Sizhu, go slowly and fall asleep obediently."

"Okay, cover your daughter with a blanket."

It was only a ten-minute journey, but it took the four of them twenty minutes to get there. Xu Sizhu was afraid of waking up his daughter, so he parked the car far away before getting out to knock on the door.

"Erzhu, there seems to be someone knocking on the door."

Xu Erzhu, who was snoring loudly, was woken up by his wife and asked in confusion, "Wife, what's wrong?"

"There's someone knocking on the door. Go see who it is."

Xu Erzhu listened carefully and heard someone knocking on the door. The couple stood up together, even taking a wooden stick, and walked to the door and whispered, "Who is it?"

"Second brother, it's me."

Xu Erzhu immediately opened the door when he heard the familiar voice. "Fourth brother, come in quickly. Why are you here so late at night? Did something happen at home?"

"Second brother, mother and the others are still back there. Please open the gate and I'll bring the ox cart in."

Xu Erzhu and his wife immediately opened the door and were a little surprised to see the three people in the car. When they got in, they immediately asked, "Mom, what happened?"

"Make the bed first and let the good girl sleep."

Liu Pan'er immediately replied: "Mom, Taotao's room has always been reserved for her. She can sleep now."

Zhang Guifen nodded in satisfaction, and only after she had comforted her granddaughter did she resolve the couple's doubts.

"That's too much, Mom. I'm going to ask for leave tomorrow. I want to find out what Li Jia'an is thinking."

"Keep your voice down. If you wake up my dear, I'll be very angry with you. Okay, go to bed. We have to go back to the village early tomorrow to return the ox cart."

Xu Erzhu couldn't sleep at all. His niece was so well-behaved. How could Li Erni have the heart to do that to her?

Xu Sizhu naturally could not let go of the murderer who hurt his daughter. He pulled his brother aside and whispered to each other, and then the two brothers walked out of the yard arm in arm.

At dawn, Xu Tao woke up in a daze. After looking around, she realized that she had arrived at her second uncle's house. She yawned lazily and went out.

Xu Ershi slept so soundly yesterday that he didn't hear anything. He was a little stunned when he saw his sister in the yard. But when he came to his senses, he immediately smiled and said, "Little sister, when did you come? I'll go buy you some buns."

"We arrived last night, second brother, I'll go with you."

The state-owned restaurant was not far from the second uncle's house, and the brother and sister arrived there in five minutes.

The state-owned restaurant was not due to open for another ten minutes, but there was already a long line of people at the door. The two men immediately walked up quickly and stood at the end. Soon, many more people lined up behind them.

The chef at the state-owned restaurant in town is quite knowledgeable about pasta, and Xu Tao becomes extremely greedy just thinking about the greasy buns.

Xu Ershi found the little girl's expression somewhat amusing, and said in a dignified manner, "Little sister, my second brother has been promoted to a level 17 technician, and his salary is 31 yuan per month. You can buy whatever you want later, and don't be polite to me."

"Hey, I won't be polite. Second brother, you are amazing. You are so young and you earn over thirty dollars a month."

Xu Ershi was so happy when he heard his sister's praise that he showed his eight big teeth. But when he saw the back of his sister's hand, his face darkened. "Little sister, why is your hand like this? Who bullied you?"

"Oh no, Li Erni pushed me down the slope. Second brother, you must stay away from her when you see her next time."

Xu Tao recalled that in her previous life, Li Erni had successfully used her connections to scheme against her second brother. Not only did she extort money from the Xu family, she also reported her second brother and caused him to lose his job.
