Quick Transmigration: Leisure
Chapter 145 The Festive Widow in Historical Fiction 16
The three members of the Tao family left just like that, taking with them the things they had brought.
Only two fish were left at the door, one big and one small, which was quite ridiculous.
Xia Youmi threw it back at the Tao family's gate, also intending to try and find out more information. Unfortunately, he got nothing.
What a ridiculous and anticlimactic end to this whole thing.
It's hard not to suspect them.
However, the central figure is actually Hu Xiaodan.
However, Xia Youmi couldn't figure out their intentions yet; she was unaware of the Tao family's secret. She also didn't know that Hu Xiaodan had already been abandoned by the Tao family elders and the eldest son.
night,
Tao Laosan was called out by his own mother in secret. Hu Xiaodan was still breastfeeding her second child, whom she had named Tao Tianbao. She appeared calm on the surface, but her inner anger was growing stronger. It even affected the baby, who was less than two months old; his lips were chapped and his eyes were red.
"Guo'er, look after her for a moment." She tossed the child to Tao Guo'er. Then she turned and went to the door of Grandma Tao's room, which was a perfect spot for eavesdropping.
The outside is blocked by a pile of firewood, and the inside is a blind spot.
The door was just slightly ajar.
"San'er! Your father and mother have wronged you."
Hu Xiaodan had barely stood still when she heard Old Lady Tao's distressed voice, which was occasionally accompanied by Old Man Tao's sighs.
"Father, Mother, you are not sorry. I am supported by the family, but I am a good-for-nothing. I am always causing you trouble. I am not a pillar of society." Tao Laosan was instantly overwhelmed by the sad atmosphere and reflected intensely on himself.
Hu Xiaodan looked displeased.
She couldn't understand why her husband was so cowardly and blindly obedient to his parents, when the eldest son's family was the real parasite.
He was even more pure of heart than the mythical figures in the book.
As for sending the fish, she knew in her heart that there was no ulterior motive involved.
Although I was on maternity leave, I still heard some gossip.
That widow Xia really does go to the fields under the scorching sun every day, saying she's observing the flowers and pollen, or she just stays in the agricultural school classroom and never goes out. What has become of her?
She is not at all the kind of good wife and housewife the third brother envisioned. He values brotherhood, as can be seen from his respect for the eldest and second eldest brothers.
So, when he explained on the way back that it was for his second brother's sake, she believed him.
But these two old men are up to something again.
Hu Xiaodan, who had just calmed herself down, broke down the next second.
All that could be heard was the clear sound of conversation inside.
"Mother regrets it. I should have agreed to let you marry your widowed sister-in-law. Look at the children she taught, they can skip to the fourth grade and are very sensible."
"Tao Yong (Tao Laoda's adopted son) also said that the school teachers value that kid. He can do everything and is filial. Look at Jinwa, whom Xiaodan raised, his temperament is nothing like that of the third son."
"Mother, don't say that," the third son interrupted his mother's harsh words.
He had always known that his family members had two faces, but his elders kept it from him, and he himself was unwilling to uncover the truth, so he deceived himself and pretended that nothing was wrong.
Tao Xiangcai has already brainwashed himself into accepting the facts.
But why is my mother making a scene at this time?
We need to dissect the hidden emotions.
“I think Xia is a good person, and she’s clean. It’s not impossible to get her back in the future.”
"Mother, I'm pregnant with Xiaodan."
"Who knows what she's thinking? After causing this mess with the eldest son, do you think she's still on our side, still family?" Old Mrs. Tao's voice was full of praise for Xia Youmi and denigration of Hu Xiaodan.
"I don't even know if Jinwa is yours yet. She was here as soon as I walked in."
"There is hope that we can rely on Pu'er to support us in our old age."
"Tsk tsk, this old woman regrets it now!"
"Alright, stop yelling. Keep a close eye on the second son, don't let him make enemies." Old Tao tapped his pipe, signaling that the drama shouldn't go too far.
"..."
Hu Xiaodan, standing outside the door, dug her fingernails into her palms, desperately resisting the urge to rush in and start a shouting match.
She had to endure it, for her son's sake.
After calming down for a few moments, he turned and left, arriving at his sister-in-law Tao Guo'er's room with a chill in his body.
As soon as she took the second child, the child flinched in fright at the warmth of her body and opened her mouth to howl.
During the days when she was sent to Tao Laosan's house, she cried so much that her voice hadn't recovered. Now she looked pitiful, and even her face, which resembled Tao Laosan's, couldn't evoke any pity in Hu Xiaodan.
Just now, in response to questions about Jinwa.
The third brother didn't say anything in rebuttal. He had his own plans, didn't he?
The hatred on her face didn't need to be hidden; Tao Guo'er could see it clearly, but everyone else treated her like she was invisible.
I only think about it when I'm working.
Like an emotionless robot, its only value is as a free, openly legitimate babysitter.
Dark clouds gathered over the Tao family's head.
Soon, the fire will reach Xia Youmi's remote area. Although she senses the danger, she can't quite grasp the direction of the fire.
We have to make arrangements from multiple perspectives.
"Xiao Pu, be careful lately. Be kind to others, travel with others, and especially tell Teacher Li Xing to check in every day. Bring your lunch with you in the morning, and be a little more polite. Also, take this gift to the teacher tomorrow, give it to him quietly, understand?"
"Okay." Tao Pu looked at the nagging Xia Youmi, his expression gradually becoming serious. He asked, "Is someone going to come knocking on our door? I'll stay home and help you. I can take leave from school."
"No need. I'm afraid someone from the Tao family might have designs on you, you know, prodigy! Once your reputation gets out, people will definitely be watching you. Be careful, don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either."
"Yes, I understand, you are too."
"Got it!"
Xia Youmi is certainly more dangerous than Tao Pu.
Skipping a grade is a random event, and the outcome is completely uncertain.
But the fact that the Tao family still came to us can only mean that they were taking advantage of the situation and wanted to use this incident to achieve some goal.
Xia Youmi will stay at the agricultural school for a long time afterward.
Occasionally, he would take a few students for a stroll, and unintentionally, they would walk to the vicinity of Dajing to take a look.
Let them scan it every year to see if there are any changes.
Her walking speed improved, and she would wander into the nearby mountains, searching for plants that had not been documented in detail.
Rice research wasn't her area of expertise, and her experimental skills hadn't been formally trained. The research process couldn't be slowed down specifically to teach her. Her role was merely to record, search, and perform calculations; the actual work was done by the system.
Given her current environment and skills, she could consider compiling a botanical encyclopedia.
This book primarily introduces the morphology, characteristics, and uses of some plants. It also incorporates hand-drawn illustrations and knowledge stored in ancient texts and modern data, extracting relevant information and compiling it with a focus on practicality.
Even though those who knew her past are gone, her drawing skills still shine through.
In addition, the Lü family and the agricultural school themselves have a large collection of books on plants, so the source of knowledge is not a problem.
Besides earning royalties.
She needs to achieve some personal success to increase her chances of being recommended for university admission and taking the college entrance examination in the future. Only by stepping onto a bigger stage can others not easily do anything to her.
"Comrade Xia."
