"So you are in the house. I came here to deliver food to Brother Tang. There is no one in this family who can help him understand whether it is cold or hot. He can't even get a warm meal."
"What does it have to do with you whether he can eat or not? What? Do you want to marry him in and be a little wife?"
Xu Xiaoyan was exposed, her face turned red immediately, and she said loudly: "You are talking nonsense! How could I be someone's concubine! Don't taint my innocence!"
Mrs. Wang watched the fun with great interest. This Tang Orion was tall and mighty, and many young girls of the right age in the village wanted to marry him.
It was just that Xu Baitao got there first, but after marrying Tang Orion, this woman couldn't do anything except wash clothes and tidy up the house.
If this Tang hunter comes home from hunting, he can't even get a mouthful of hot food, and he has to cook for four mouths in the family.
Xu Baitao did not have the control of her parents-in-law, and her husband was willing to coax and support her, which naturally attracted the envy and jealousy of the women in the village.
Xu Xiaoyan's brother is the scholar that Tang Yuansi mentioned just now. He stays in the village to teach and has some friendship with Tang Yuansi.
Xu Xiaoyan has been interested in Tang Yuansi for a long time. If she wants to marry, she must first eliminate Xu Baitao. So she always took the opportunity of delivering meals to show all kinds of attentiveness to Tang Yuansi.
It's a pity that this girl paid by mistake after all, and Tang Yuansi had no interest in her at all.
Xu Baitao glanced at Xu Xiaoyan meaningfully, and deliberately raised his voice and said in a protracted tone, "Oh, it's not like you have fallen in love with my husband! I always see you delivering food to my house. You are not a relative or a friend, so I am still puzzled."
"My brother asked me to send it here!"
Although Xu Xiaoyan was interested in Tang Yuansi, she was a girl who had not left the court after all, so she had no shame to discuss these things.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but look at Xu Baitao with a hint of complaint in her eyes.
When she heard that Xu Baitao was going to run away with a traveling businessman, she was extremely happy. She thought that she had endured all the hardships and finally got her wish.
Unexpectedly, Xu Baitao not only failed to run away, but his temper became a little weird.
Everything he said to her could hit her lungs.
Xu Baitao was not like this at all in the past. Every time she came over with food, Xu Baitao would ignore her and never control her with words like this.
"Although your family only consists of you and your brother, what kind of family is this? Your brother has such a big heart that he asks you to come here every day to deliver food."
Xu Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment after being told this, and finally looked at Xu Baitao and murmured to herself: "Why are the attitudes so different before and after this? Are they the same person?"
"You two brothers and sisters get along quite well. One of you brings food and the other gives money! My husband saved your life, so there is no need to be so careful. I will accept your kindness."
Xu Baitao pointed to the copper plate in Mrs. Wang's hand, "We don't want that money. Miss Xu, take it back! It's not Shu'er's fault in the first place, so why do you have to pay for her?"
"It's only two copper coins!"
"This is not a matter of two coins! If you pay for my daughter, you are admitting that my daughter stole Mrs. Wang's cake. But you have never seen it, so why do you want to convict my daughter?"
Xu Xiaoyan was stunned by the question and didn't react for a long time.
Seeing that something was not going well, Mrs. Wang wanted to run away. She had no intention of returning this copper plate at all, it was hers after it was given to her!
"Mrs. Wang, didn't you scream loudly in the yard just now? Why are you running when you see me now?"
"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do at home. I will come see you next time."
Xu Baitao reached Mrs. Wang in a few steps, stopped her, and forcefully opened her hand, saying: "Keep those two copper coins for me, don't force me to do anything!"
In the end, Mrs. Wang still didn't get what she wanted. Xu Baitao snatched the two coins and threw them directly to Xu Xiaoyan, "I can teach my own children by myself. There is no need to pretend to be kind and attentive here."
Xu Xiaoyan's face turned red with embarrassment and she stood there with tears in her eyes. "Even if you don't want to accept my kindness, you shouldn't trample on my dignity."
Xu Baitao looked at Xu Xiaoyan with incomprehensible eyes. It could be seen from the memory of the original owner that Xu Xiaoyan, who often visited the Tang family, was just like a green tea.
It's just that Tang Yuansi never paid attention to her. Every time Xu Xiaoyan came over to give her a wink, it was as if she was giving it to a blind man.
"Can you speak? What do you mean by trampling on your dignity? Have you done anything worthy of respect? Without asking the reason, you took it upon yourself to give two copper coins to others for my daughter. You implicitly admitted that she was the one who stole the cake! "
"I didn't mean to do this. It's just that Mrs. Wang said that she went to Mrs. Wang's house by herself today. The cake can't disappear out of thin air."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly echoed from the side. She was already at odds with Xu Baitao. At this time, the coins she had received were taken away again, and she felt unhappy in various ways.
Although not everyone knows that Xu Xiaoyan likes Tang Orion, most of them know it.
On the surface, he did not dare to make a fuss about Xu Xiucai's biological sister, but secretly, he also blocked Tang Yuansi on how to divorce her and then marry Xu Xiaoyan.
"You just said a word that was not intentional and that's it? Shu'er is still so young. You are deaf and couldn't even hear what she just said. She wants to marry my husband!"
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
Xu Xiaoyan tried to stabilize Xu Baitao's mood and laughed.
"Misunderstanding? It doesn't look like it to me, but it looks more like it was intentional!"
Xu Baitao said to Mrs. Wang with a cold face: "Mother Wang, you are angry at me. Why are you taking out your anger on my child? When you open and close your mouth, my daughter steals your cake?"
"Then there really is no one else but her!"
"I think you can go home and see if you have a son with a particularly good appetite. If he eats him, he will make you fatter, right?"
Seeing Xu Baitao mentioning her son, Mrs. Wang suddenly became nervous, and finally muttered: "Your child didn't steal it, can I go?"
Xu Baitao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go home quickly and take good care of your son. I thought about it and realized that it would be easy for him to come out and embarrass himself. I'll leave slowly instead of sending him away."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to run away, Xu Xiaoyan panicked and immediately took the food and wanted to go back.
Seeing this, Xu Baitao stood directly at the door and stopped her, "First of all, apologize to my daughter. Secondly, take away the food you brought."
There is one thing that Xu Baitao has in common with the original owner, that is, he cannot cook.
This is a ready-made meal delivered to your door. Why not eat it? Not eating it is a loss!
