Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 133 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 4
nowadays.
The entire burden of the Tao family rested on the shoulders of the third son, Tao Xiangcai. His eldest brother was shrewd and stingy, and his second brother had left home and passed away early.
He was forced to accept all the difficulties unconditionally simply because he was honest and filial.
He had finally reached marriageable age and set his sights on Xia, a girl who had just moved to the village. He had secretly observed her and found her to be down-to-earth, good at managing a household, and kind to others. She had even finished junior high school, and both her parents and adoptive father were teachers, so she had some education.
Aside from his poor background, he's practically the perfect partner.
He even thought that in the future he could both manage the household and educate his children; Tao San was a visionary.
As a result, because his parents wanted to save a little money, his wife married his second brother, and he himself got nothing.
What I can't stand the most is that I once again blindly believed the matchmaker's sweet talk and married Hu Xiaodan. All my suffering stems from this.
Tao Xiangcai was filled with grief and indignation.
Grandpa Tao, standing to the side, tapped his pipe, remaining silent but exuding an imposing aura. He was always the one who made the final decision after the argument.
They don't care about the process at all.
Only Old Lady Tao remained to offer advice:
"Dandan, this isn't a good idea."
"Back then, all of Xiangrong's things were brought back to you as part of your dowry. They were a widow and a little girl, and they only had jobs. We just treated them as a way to get rid of them." Old Mrs. Tao patiently explained the truth, and she was a little too ashamed to go to her second son's house again.
"Send it away?"
"Why not give such a good thing to your own grandson?" Hu Xiaodan emphasized the word "grandson," implying something was amiss.
"That bastard."
"He's so gloomy and doesn't dare to show his face. I wonder if he's even a member of the Tao family, yet they're still protecting him like this!" Hu Xiaodan sneered disdainfully. She was confident because she had a son, and she didn't want the Tao family to have another grandson to divide the inheritance.
Outsiders should not try to take advantage of this.
In Hu Xiaodan's mind, even if her second brother-in-law were still alive, he wouldn't be able to compete with her.
The other three also looked unwell.
"Ugh......"
"You can't say that. If anyone were to protect that child, we wouldn't invite anyone to our house during holidays."
"But Dandan, that job at the second son's house, it was Xiao Wa's Aunt Zou who wrote the report." Grandma Tao hesitated.
She had reservations; she wanted the benefits to go to her own family, but she didn't want to gain even the slightest bit of a bad reputation.
Talk about it.
The Tao family is quite well-regarded in the entire Xibian Village.
The main reason is that the old man was hardworking and shrewd when he was young, and he also knew how to keep a low profile.
That's how they acquired some family property that was unknown to outsiders.
There were always gold items hidden in the house.
They kept their mouths tightly shut; even their youngest son didn't know.
At that time, the eldest son had grown up and could no longer hide it, so they sent him out to "do business." In recent years, he has returned to the village with the reputation of a failure, and he has been living off his parents. The Tao family still takes care of the eldest son on a daily basis, and everyone says he is kind.
Outsiders only knew that they were simple and honest and had made some small contributions. So when the team allocated homesteads and private plots, they were able to get the best batch, bypassing the wealthy and powerful families.
In fact, their eldest daughter's marriage brought them considerable benefits through their shrewd calculations, and these benefits continued to grow.
Furthermore, the sacrifice of the second son added a halo of honor to the family, making them the family of a martyr's family.
Marrying the girl from the Xia family was something he had privately discussed with Matchmaker Ma; she was someone he could easily win over.
Even if the property is given to the second child, they won't know the true situation at home.
Sure enough, even if they handed the little boy over to the other party and the Tao family didn't interfere, the woman only made a few noises and then took good care of the child for them.
We've been raising him for a year now. We'll see how successful he becomes before deciding whether to reclaim him from the Tao family.
At least the second son's lineage was continued. Not disturbing the two people's peaceful life is the best way to deal with the Tao family.
Now, this youngest daughter-in-law is going to cause trouble.
She always felt uneasy inside.
Hu Xiaodan was never the person they wanted in the first place.
They were just in a hurry to find a husband for their third son.
Since it had already happened, the matchmaker, Ma, who hadn't cheated them, repeatedly assured them that although Hu Xiaodan and Hu Xiaoyu were cousins.
But not being close to someone from childhood is not a good moral character trait.
It also guarantees,
She is a sensible and capable good girl.
They don't accept money from the matchmaker's family, but the bride price is a few cents higher.
The Tao family looked down on all the girls in the village, and were worried that their third son would really marry that sister-in-law. After sending someone to inquire, they learned that Xiaodan was a truly rare and good girl, but there were too many suitors, which was why the bride price was a bit high.
in this way,
They immediately agreed to the marriage.
Who knew that Hu Xiaodan was an extremely petty and greedy person.
She was just pretending too well before she got pregnant.
Once she established her position, she started threatening people at the drop of a hat, yelling and shouting for benefits for the child.
In particular, she overheard the elderly couple's private conversations with their eldest son.
I learned that the Tao family was quite wealthy.
Furthermore, the eldest son was not his biological son, and he kept all of this a secret from his other siblings.
Without consulting her third brother, Hu Xiaodan first made a scene using her unborn child as a pretext. This startled several elders, and only after confirming the truth did they begin to act arrogantly and domineeringly.
Especially after my second brother-in-law sacrificed his life.
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, she not only left Tao Pu to be raised by Widow Xia, but also demanded the return of the dowry given by her second son, just to see where her in-laws' bottom line was and how much they could tolerate her.
That widow was a fool too.
Not only is there no one to back them up, but they're all just all show and no substance.
The vandalism and destruction were completely pointless; they even threw all the betrothal gifts out the door, leaving only a black and white portrait hanging there.
After this incident,
Hu Xiaodan was thoroughly satisfied.
In particular, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Meimei is waiting to inherit the family fortune.
The elderly Tao couple were also delighted.
Behind his back, all the blame was placed on the heartless third son's wife.
They even had a real grandson.
If we kick them out of the house later, I'm afraid the villagers will support it.
If you can have more children, then bear with it and give them to your own son later.
......
But I wonder who was behind this gossip.
Or perhaps Hu Xiaodan, having recovered, wandered too far and discovered that Xia Youmi wasn't going to the same spot as everyone else.
She was rarely seen in the village, but her work points were full, and she still received her share of grain.
This finally awakened her long-lost sense of superiority.
She was about to go to work in the fields herself, so why did the person she trampled into the mud have such good luck?
Especially after inquiring, I found out that it was delivered by my own family.
Moreover, it was Tao Laosan who took a liking to her and proposed marriage.
Now she was consumed by jealousy.
In addition, the day before, she had overheard her great-aunt bragging that someone had paid her a lot of money to sound out Widow Xia.
He wants the other person to remarry!
She simply couldn't bear to think of a way to slowly resolve the issue herself.
They were afraid that the widow would both get a job and remarry.
That's why they started making a scene at home!
She was immediately dissuaded by her husband and mother-in-law as soon as she opened her mouth.
The healthy complexion that Hu Xiaodan cultivates will gradually turn green.
She started firing off messages in rapid succession.
"You, God! Not a single one of you is helping me! I'm doing this for the good of the Tao family!"
"I didn't want to say this, but that widow is going to remarry with your grandson!"
"What!" Old Mrs. Tao couldn't help but scream when she heard this.
