Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 134 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 5

Seeing her mother-in-law's surprise, Hu Xiaodan emphasized it again with pride.

"Look, I meant well but was wasted!"

"Shouldn't we have gotten this good job back for our own people?"

"Third brother, you're probably still thinking about that shameless widowed sister-in-law, aren't you? She's been wanting to run away for ages! Just today, my great-aunt was even asked to arrange a marriage for her."

Grandma Tao's eyes darted around.

The house and job were left to them so that someone could take care of their grandchildren. If the other party really wants to remarry, they will have to find a way to take them back.

"Your old hag Ma is already infamous. How dare she go back to Xibian Village?" Tao Xiangcai asked coldly.

After the initial shock of the blunder subsided,

Matchmaker Ma also ruined weddings in the village, severely harming several girls.

They no longer dared to appear openly.

"Do not believe?"

"We'll go ask the second brother's family later." Hu Xiaodan really couldn't be sure; her great-aunt rarely told the truth. She had initially been suspicious, which was why she hadn't brought this up.

She was so angry at being rejected by the Tao family that she used the other party's remarriage as a bargaining chip.

Several people looked at each other.

Finally, Grandpa Tao made the decision.

"After you finish eating, you and the third son's family go and check on Pu the boy." He tapped the edge of the table rhythmically with his pipe to signal the end of the conversation.

"Humph!"

Hu Xiaodan was satisfied and called out to the yard, "Guo'er, your parents are calling you to cook!"

"Okay!" A clear female voice came from the kitchen.

"Clap clap." Hu Xiaodan clapped her hands.

"My sister-in-law is well-educated; she's sure to find a good husband in the future." She planned to coax the elderly couple again and get their support for her job change.

Unexpectedly, this touched a raw nerve for both of them.

Tao Guo'er is now twenty-one years old, the same age as her second sister-in-law.

If Tao Lao Er hadn't been so useless and unable to stand on his own two feet, his younger sister's marriage to a military leader wouldn't have been delayed.

When people learned of his sacrifice, they quickly broke off their engagements. How many people would be willing to do something that doesn't involve exchanging common interests?

Dreaming back at midnight.

The elderly couple were criticizing him, asking why he didn't sacrifice himself a few months later.

Like that

Their daughter Tao Guo'er's marriage is also something they can be proud of.

Now, she can only be stuck in her own hands, becoming a little maidservant used by her third sister-in-law.

If we can't get a good price.

They would rather stay at home than allow that practice to be given to widowers or old men.

They lost face.

......

The location where Tao Lao Er divided his family property was relatively remote.

At that time, considering that I was in the army for many years, I didn't want to take up the good land of my family, so I gave it to my eldest and third sons.

The family always said that the eldest brother was pitiful, because he was cheated out of everything while doing small business outside.

Therefore, both younger brothers made concessions.

The family is strangely united under the special education of their parents.

Xia Youmi's identity is also common knowledge.

She was brought to live in the village by a new teacher from a nearby agricultural school. However, she was not the teacher's biological child, but was entrusted to him by a deceased friend.

In Xia Youmi's memory, her parents were just an ordinary teacher couple.

My mother passed away a long time ago.

The year she graduated from junior high school, her father also suddenly passed away, and for some unknown reason, his body was never found.

At that time, the principal brought over Mr. Gu, a friend of her father, and helped her complete the formalities while she was in a daze.

Then, Xia Youmi left her hometown and followed Teacher Gu to settle in Xibian Village.

He worked at the agricultural school, while Xia Youmi stayed at home.

She just registered her household registration and is planning to go to high school.

Then came another devastating piece of news: Professor Gu had also passed away. He was found in a huge well. The Party Secretary and the Director only said it was an accident; Professor Gu was conducting research at the time and accidentally slipped and fell.

That place is remote and the water is deep, so it's perfectly normal.

At the time, the matter was handled very discreetly, and many people in the village were still unaware of it.

They simply assumed that an orphan had appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing that she was honest and was even allocated land, it wasn't that no one had any designs on her; it was just that the Tao family acted quickly, and perhaps someone among them was pushing something.

It is not known at the moment.

The current situation is that

Xia Youmi got married hastily at the age of 16.

She has been raising her child alone for 4 years.

"There are quite a few suspicious points here." Xia Youmi analyzed her past experiences with the system and pondered the characters.

I just finished dinner with Xiao Taopu, and we're sitting together in the yard enjoying the cool air.

She was also thinking about her future livelihood; she needed to make her own plans.

Furthermore, the experimental field project itself is strange in many ways.

"Feel......"

"She got this job herself; it has nothing to do with anyone else."

This is Xia Youmi's memory of herself. Although she doesn't have much emotion, she seems like an ordinary, dull woman who, after being driven crazy by life, began to arm herself with a fierce and shrewish attitude.

but,

Does the Tao family really have that ability?

Not to mention that Teacher Gu was already working at the agricultural school and "sacrificed" himself there.

Even if it's just to compensate her, giving her a job wouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, her behavior was unlike that of an ordinary peasant woman.

He would occasionally approach Gu's former colleagues, or glance in the direction of Dajing.

It seems they are looking for an opportunity to explore further.

Having experienced several worlds, Xia Youmi has also summarized some of the patterns of transmigrating.

She and the character originally set in the book, although they seemed to have no other souls, should have been completely one.

But in reality, while she accepted the memories, she did not receive Xia Youmi's thoughts from the past.

It's as if you're just watching a piece of the past every year, learning their skills and accents, but you can't know what "they" were thinking.

Many of the intentions behind these actions, if not described in the book, are not explicitly stated in my memory.

Then, we can only deduce the logic through action.

It's impossible.

In this area, it's hard to find many people who are meticulous, hardworking, and honest.

Does it have to be someone who studied all the way to junior high school and only started working in the fields with crops after getting married, a questionable natural-born farming prodigy?

dong dong——

Just as she was getting lost in thought, a series of rather impolite knocks sounded on the door.

"It's Hu Xiaodan and Huafei." (Data from annual reports)

Oh, her third brother's wife and her stepmother-in-law, right?

That means they came with ill intentions.

Xiao Taopu was already watching the gate warily; the latch rattled with each knock. He remained silent, waiting for Xia Youmi's instructions.

Thinking about how the Tao family would treat the minor villain in the future, Xia Youmi searched everywhere for a suitable object.

Finally, they pulled out a discarded iron spoon from the kitchen. The handle was still clean and intact, and it wasn't heavy. However, there was a small chip at the tip, so it could be considered somewhat dangerous.

Then he picked up Tao Pu and whispered, "Take this. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, just hit their legs."

"Okay!" The boy nodded, picked up the iron spoon and swung it up and down. Soon, he not only mastered the feel of it, but also found a way to use it discreetly.

They played with digging in the dirt in the yard using an iron spoon.

They are not easily noticed by others.

Xia Youmi admired it inwardly, but at the same time, she did not forget her own weapons reserves.

With the door blocking their way, the two of them weren't in a hurry to engage the enemy.

I stretched my muscles and bones again.

I feel that I have enough strength, but not enough resilience and flexibility. I can train specifically for these areas.
