A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

Most of the residents in this area are ordinary working-class people, so there are still very few cars.

At this point, a car suddenly appeared, making it hard to miss.

The alley wasn't very wide, and both sides were filled with people sitting and enjoying the cool air, so the car drove very slowly.

The car drove all the way to the entrance of the Tao family's large courtyard before screeching to a stop.

Everyone craned their necks to watch.

"Is it the young lady from the Lu family?" someone whispered to the person next to them.

“It looks like it to me,” someone immediately agreed.

"Sister Liu is really lucky. Not only did she find a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, but she is also so filial to her."

……

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Liu Hailan suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to turn up, and raised her chin even higher.

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, dressed in olive green, got out of the driver's seat and the passenger seat, respectively.

Tao Xiaoyue, sitting in the back seat, curled up as if she wanted to crawl into the gap between the car seats.

The alley was now full of people; she needed to go out now…

Tao Xiaoyue exuded resistance from head to toe.

She can't go out now.

As soon as Xiao Zhang opened the back door, Tao Xiaoyue began to desperately shrink to the other side.

"Get down!" Xiao Zhang shouted sternly.

Now you know you need to have some shame? Where were you before?!

Tao Xiaoyue curled up, looking like she was determined to resist to the death.

Those who had been craning their necks to watch the spectacle now had to crane their necks even further.

If it weren't for the imposing aura emanating from Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, they probably would have squeezed through long ago.

Xiao Zhang winked at Xiao Li, who was standing next to him, and Xiao Li quickly went around to the other side.

Before Tao Xiaoyue could react, Xiao Li suddenly pulled open the car door.

Tao Xiaoyue lost her balance and fell off the car with a backflip.

Two long, white legs appeared in everyone's sight in such a magnificent way.

Afraid of getting it on him, Xiao Li quickly took several steps back.

Now, even more people can see those long, white legs.

Tao Xiaoyue hurriedly covered her face and got up, as if as long as she covered her face, no one would know who she was.

"Tao Xiaoyue..." someone shouted her name.

"What is she wearing? Her arms and legs are showing..." an old lady muttered quietly.

What is she doing hiding in the car?

"He must have done something shameful..." some clever people guessed.

Tao Yong and Liu Hailan also sensed something was wrong and quickly got up to check.

Although Tao Xiaoyue covered her face, Tao Yong and Liu Hailan recognized her at a glance.

Seeing that his daughter was dressed in thin clothes, Tao Yong quickly took off his shirt and wrapped it around her.

"What exactly did you do to my daughter?" Tao Yong glared angrily at Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li.

"You should ask your daughter what she did," Xiao Zhang scoffed.

Tao Yong choked, his throat suddenly feeling as if it were being choked, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Xiaoyue, tell Mom, did they bully you?" Liu Hailan persisted.

"Mom, let's go back!" Tao Xiaoyue covered her face with one hand and pulled Liu Hailan into the house with the other.

Liu Hailan thought her daughter was scared, so she quickly comforted her, "Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. If they dare to bully you, we'll tell your sister-in-law and she'll teach you a lesson..."

A casual glance upwards.

“Your face…” Liu Hailan exclaimed.

"Go home!" Tao Xiaoyue was on the verge of tears.

Perhaps realizing something, Tao Yong gave Liu Hailan a wink, signaling her to go home and talk about it later.

Liu Hailan seemed to sense something and pulled her daughter away.

"Comrade Lu Xingning said that she and Tao Zhou are over, and that you should not go looking for her anymore." Xiao Zhang said with a serious expression.

Liu Hailan was so startled that she dropped the fan in her hand to the ground.

Tao Yong couldn't help but change his expression.

Before the two could speak, Xiao Zhang continued, "If you have any questions, you can ask Comrade Tao Xiaoyue."

"And her face..."

Xiao Zhang paused for a moment.

“It was our political commissar’s wife who hit her. As for why she was hit, I don’t know if she has the face to say it.”

After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he stopped looking at Tao Yong's family's expressions, turned around and winked at Xiao Li. The two quickly got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away from everyone's sight.

The political commissar's wife beat him up...

I'm too ashamed to say it...

This is an extraordinary amount of information.

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards the Tao family changed.

Tao Yong and his family fled home as if they were escaping.

He didn't even bother to pick up the fan that had fallen to the ground.

A boy walked over, picked up the round fan, and casually twirled it like a sword.

Another little boy ran over and reached out to grab it, saying, "Let me play with it."

"No way!" The boy instinctively shrank back.

One is vying, the other is snatching.

"Crack!" A sound.

The exquisite round fan broke in two, and the lifelike osmanthus flower was reduced to a tattered piece of cloth.

The boy, in a huff, smashed the broken fan at the little boy.

The little boy reached out to block it, and the fan fell into the stinking ditch next to him.

陶家

"What exactly happened?" Tao Yong slammed his hand on the table.

The loud noise startled Tao Xiaoyue, whose face was bruised and swollen, so much that she trembled.

"Keep your voice down." Liu Hailan pointed to the next room, implying to Tao Yong that the walls were listening.

"Tell me, what good deeds did you do today?" Tao Yong asked, his face dark and his eyes as cold as ice.

Although he was angry, his voice was noticeably lower than before.

"I didn't do anything..." Tao Xiaoyue's eyes darted away.

Tao Yong grabbed a feather duster from the side, ready to start using it.

Judging from her behavior just now, it would be strange if she didn't do something!

Tao Xiaoyue hurriedly hid behind Liu Hailan, not daring to show her face again.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Tao Yong pointed at Tao Xiaoyue with a feather duster, his tone fierce.

Tao Xiaoyue lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.

Seeing her like this, Tao Yong shoved Liu Hailan aside and started hitting Tao Xiaoyue.

The handle of the feather duster was made of bamboo, which was hard yet slightly elastic. When it hit you, it was heavy and painful.

Tao Xiaoyue was wearing a sleeveless nightgown.

One hit with the feather duster made her scream in pain.

Liu Hailan felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to stop her, but Tao Yong glared at her and stopped her.

Tao Yong raised his hand and slapped him twice more hard.

Tao Xiaoyue clutched her arm, which had swelled up instantly, and jumped up and down in pain.

Because of her sweet talk and ability to get things done, Tao Xiaoyue's status at home was no less than Tao Zhou's.

Tao Yong attacked her, clearly because he was extremely angry.

"Aren't you going to talk?" Tao Yong threatened, raising the feather duster in his hand again.

"Speak up!" Liu Hailan urged, frowning.

With this incident causing such a huge uproar, she absolutely cannot get away with it unless she gives a clear explanation.

"I was talking to Lu Xingning's brother, and her sister-in-law hit me..." Tao Xiaoyue downplayed the seriousness of the matter.

"Just talking?" Tao Yong squinted, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.

Tao Xiaoyue's eyes darted around, avoiding Tao Yong's gaze.

"Tao Xiaoyue, aren't you going to tell the truth?"
