Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 143 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 14

"How could anyone be so heartless? They're harming the people in the house, and sending them out to harm others, right?" someone spoke up righteously.

Aunt Hua looked disdainful.

Clearly, she missed the point.

"No, have you guys thought about it? Hu Xiaodan isn't someone to be trifled with. She'll definitely fight to the death!" Some people, not wanting to miss out on trouble, were planning to follow up on this matter as soon as they got back.

"The third son is useless too, doesn't he care about his own child?"

"Fortunately, Xia didn't marry into the Ke family."

"Hehe, it's none of my business." Xia Youmi declined, not wanting the topic to fall on her, and offered her own speculation: "Could there be some inside story?"

"Aunt Hua, continue. If you won't tell me, I will!" Clearly, there are more than just one or two people in the know about this.

"Don't rush, there are many twists and turns in this story. Let's start with Hu Xiaodan. She was initially fooled into believing that the boy had bad luck and would bring her misfortune. She's a bit naive, so she believed it and said she was willing to take him away." Aunt Hua went on and on.

"The old couple said they can have another one later. Anyway, they can have two boys. It shouldn't be difficult to have another one who is lucky and clever. She is so blessed, every single one of her babies is a success."

"And guess what happened?"

"Hey! Auntie, tell us quickly!" Someone was so anxious that they were stamping their feet. They were almost at school, and they hadn't even heard the whole gossip yet.

"In the end, the boy was given to Boss Tao to raise!" Aunt Hua was clever; she gave the conclusion directly without explaining the process, leaving the reader to speculate.

Xia Youmi has already lost interest.

But it is clear that the enthusiasm of the masses has been fully mobilized.

"The eldest has a baby! And it's already quite big."

"Yes, could it be that the third son's family has something going on with the eldest son?"

"Pah! Don't talk about these things in front of the kids!"

"What else can we do?"

"Could it be that the baby is fake and useless? So you need to adopt one with your own bloodline?"

"Yeah! That's right."

"Impressive, Sister Kang, that's exactly right." Aunt Hua praised her by name.

"..."

That's the situation; Tao Laoda's child wasn't his and his wife's. Hu Xiaodan had known this for a long time, but she kept it from Lao San and her family.

Moreover, the Tao family really invested a lot of money.

The master they invited spoke of fortune in a very mysterious way, even giving a seemingly plausible example, comparing Tao Pu's birth date and time with Hu Xiaodan's second child.

There are many collisions inside.

He was destined to bring misfortune to both his father and mother.

The reason why the Tao family members were unwilling to get close to Tao Pu was because only Xia Youmi, who also bore the title of "nemesis," was not afraid of the "evil star" in Tao Pu's fate.

This also explains why Hu Xiaodan was stopped from causing trouble earlier.

It completely stunned the person.

Xia Youmi and Tao Pu were completely unaware of the situation. Perhaps it was precisely because they were being used as a front that they dared not let the news reach their ears.

If it weren't for taking someone to school today...

She might not even know when things have settled down. Tao Pu walks to and from school extremely fast and rarely interacts with people of a different generation.

The scheme was exposed because of greed.

The baby had stayed with his mother for a few days and wasn't used to being held, so he cried incessantly.

To avoid attracting attention, or out of fear that the baby wouldn't be a boy, they didn't actually have their eldest son's wife fake a pregnancy.

Then he could only secretly take Hu Xiaodan's things over there.

Every now and then, he would pick out and pack up the old things that Tao Jinwa used before and send them to the eldest son's family, just when Hu Xiaodan was in postpartum confinement and was still a little out of it.

Once the woman finishes her postpartum confinement and notices something is wrong, her sense of smell immediately kicks in.

Tao Laosan was indeed kept in the dark from both sides; he genuinely believed that Erwa had been sent away.

But Hu Xiaodan could immediately connect the dots just by smelling something amiss about her sister-in-law.

She rushed into her eldest son's house and took the child back with her.

During the struggle, it was revealed that Tao's eldest son was not his biological son. He also berated the other party, accusing them of being incompetent and stealing his younger brother's property to fight for the inheritance.

Shameless! Don't even think about it.

The Tao family's assets

Everything in the Tao family belongs to her, and she raises the children herself.

This startled everyone except for Tao Laosan and Erwazi who were present.

The old couple and Tao Laoda looked at her like she was dead. Tao Laosan hurriedly tried to calm his wife and children down. Hu Xiaodan just wanted to express herself freely and establish her authority and unique status.

There was another person, Tao Changsun, who wasn't Tao's biological son.

He observed all of this with detached observation, as if he had gained some insight.

Outsiders wouldn't know the details or the subtle glances. But Hu Xiaodan had seized on this matter and was determined to make a scene. She had already told the elders in the family that Tao Laoda was no good, and was determined to secure more benefits for her son.

To keep her in check, the Tao family half agreed and half threatened.

......

Xia Youmi didn't really care about the gossip; she was just worried about getting involved.

She always had a strange and wonderful attraction.

They can get caught up in conflicts.

However, this time, the Tao family incident has nothing to do with the male and female protagonists.

It has nothing to do with Tao Pu either. Even if we talk about the Tao family's wealth, he didn't inherit anything in the original text. He made his fortune entirely by getting into university.

However, it's best to be careful lately.

I need to remind Tao Pu after he finishes his exam.

The primary school is of a decent size, located in the middle of three villages. This allows for the concentration of educational resources while remaining close to all areas. The route to school for the children has been specially modified, and everyone knows they should help look after them to prevent any accidents or abductions.

The teaching staff mainly consisted of half retired teachers with clean political backgrounds and the other half newly sent-down youth.

For educated youth, becoming a teacher was a highly sought-after job; it required either connections or genuine talent.

Tao Pu's math teacher, however, was a rare young teacher with rich experience and qualifications.

He is a local, and after completing his studies, he taught at a primary school in the capital and also participated in the planning and question-setting for some provincial competitions.

There is some protection for research findings.

It's considered quite well-known in the province.

If they could recommend that Tao Pu skip a grade, it might indeed be much better than them struggling on their own.

Xia Youmi was staring blankly out the window, while the person inside was writing stroke by stroke.

"Are you Xiao Pu's parent?"

"Hello, Professor Li." The man who had been sitting at the podium came out and started talking to Xia Youmi.

The other person has a gentle and refined temperament, which is very much in line with his profession and interests.

Li Xing saw that Xia Youmi was young, with bright eyes and cheeks, which didn't quite match Tao Pu's description of her as diligent, hardworking, and resilient. She seemed more like a pampered girl who hadn't experienced any setbacks, except that she loved sports, which gave her a healthy, radiant complexion.

There was no sign of fatigue in his eyes.

"Xiao Pu is very well taught. He is polite and has a thirst for knowledge." The teacher was generous with his praise, his tone full of appreciation.

"Thank you, I didn't teach anything, it's all thanks to the teacher." Xia Youmi said politely, then praised Tao Pu a few times: "This child is also very excellent."

If this were spoken by the mother herself, people would definitely say she's biased and can't see the truth.

However, almost everyone in the teaching profession knows that this is not her biological mother.

She was an innocent and kind victim.

I admire her sense of righteousness even more.

“Xiao Pu’s achievements are inseparable from your guidance; he admires you very much,” Li Xing said sincerely.

"Thank you."

"It is because of you that I am willing to help him skip a grade."

"Huh? Why."
