Hearing the words 'Xu Xiucai', even the usually prudent and mature Tang Tianji showed obvious resistance and asked excitedly, "Why?"
Dad clearly knew that mother was interested in that Xu Xiucai, so why did he invite him to the house?
Aren't you afraid that your mother will run away with that Xu Xiucai?
Seeing the resistance in his son's eyes, how could Tang Yuansi not know what he was thinking?
However, he did not explain, but forcefully demanded, "Go if you are told, and don't ask why."
Tang Tianji: "...Okay, I'll go right away."
Tang Tianji had no choice but to agree quietly.
When leaving, he quietly glanced in the direction of the kitchen and saw that Xu Baitao was really cleaning up the debris on the floor. Not only that, even the messy kitchen was tidied up in order.
Could it be that my mother has really changed her ways?
Such an idea flashed through my mind, and was rejected the next moment.
Fake, they must all be fake!
How could my mother suddenly become so diligent?
At that time, Xu Xiaoyan returned home cursing.
Xu Xiucai was a little confused when he saw his sister coming back so early.
"Why are you back so early?"
In the past, it would take my sister a long time to deliver food to that person. Why did she come back so early today?
Xu Xiaoyan got angry when she talked about this matter. Xu Baitao was so evil today. Why was she so eloquent all of a sudden? She lost her wife and lost her army.
Xu Xiaoyan poured a glass of water and drank it before saying, "Stop talking, that Xu Baitao acted like a gunman today. She actually dared to yell at me and asked me to be Brother Tang's concubine. She didn't even think about it. Is she worthy of Xu Baitao?"
After hearing Xu Xiaoyan's complaint, Xu Xiucai didn't take it to heart.
That woman Xu Baitao is just an idiot and not worth his trouble.
After talking for a long time, he found that his brother had no intention of talking to him at all, and Xu Xiaoyan didn't bother to talk anymore.
Anyway, she won't give up like this. She will definitely find a way to get Brother Tang to divorce Xu Baitao, so that she can become Brother Tang's wife.
Tang Tianji came to the door of Xu's house and shouted in a loud voice, "Is Xu Xiucai at home? My father has something to ask Xu Xiucai for help. Please ask Xu Xiucai to come to my house."
The brother and sister in the room looked at each other when they heard the sound.
Whether it was out of his sister's thoughts or his own, helping Tang Yuansi would do more good than harm to the Xu family.
"I'm going to see what he needs my help with," Xu Xiucai said.
Naturally, Xu Xiaoyan didn't want to miss this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the Tang family.
However, thinking of Xu Baitao who seemed to have changed his appearance now, she warned uneasily, "Brother, something is very wrong with that Xu Baitao now. Be careful when you go there."
"Um."
Xu Xiucai followed Tang Tianji to the Tang family.
Xu Xiucai took a look at Tang Yuansi, who was still looking extraordinary even when he was lying on the bed, feeling slightly jealous.
This man is obviously just a country boy, but his aura is even more impressive than a scholar like him, making people unable to take their eyes off him. Even he has to avoid the sharp edge.
"I wonder if Brother Tang called me here to help?"
Tang Yuansi naturally noticed his appraising gaze, but didn't take it to heart. "I want to ask you to take her to the town. She is going to the town to buy some things."
Who is this 'she'? Both of them know exactly who they are referring to.
However, Xu Xiucai was still a little surprised. It was impossible for Tang Yuansi not to know what Xu Baitao had been thinking about him before. How could he allow himself to take people out with confidence? Wasn't he afraid that some rumors would spread?
"this……"
Tang Yuansi locked his sharp eyes on Xu Xiucai's, "I just need you to take her to the town, buy the things and then come back. When I recover, I will return the favor to you."
After being admitted as a scholar, Xu Xiucai's mind naturally turned quickly, and he instantly understood the meaning of Tang Yuansi's words.
Tang Yuansi wanted him to supervise Xu Baitao and not let Xu Baitao escape.
I really don't understand what's so good about that woman that makes Tang Yuansi care so much.
But such a simple thing could make Tang Yuansi owe him a favor, so why not do it.
"Okay." Xu Xiucai agreed, "When does she plan to go to town?"
Tang Yuansi did not answer his question, but called out Xu Baitao who was busy in the kitchen.
Xu Baitao had actually finished cleaning up the kitchen and should have come out a long time ago, but just as he was about to leave, he saw Tang Tianshu hiding by the door and peeking at her.
That little guy obviously wanted to come in, but he didn't dare to get close because of fear.
Xu Baitao spotted her and waved to her with a gentle smile, "Shu Shu, come here."
Tang Tianshu looked like she was laughing and wanted to run away subconsciously, but when he heard her calling him, he had to stop. He clenched the corners of his clothes with his little hands and asked cautiously, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Seeing the little girl's trembling appearance, Xu Baitao spurned the original owner in his heart.
"I see you have been at the door for a while. Is there something you want to tell mother?"
Seeing that she didn't hit him, Tang Tianshu became more courageous and tried to take a few steps closer to her, "...I saw that my mother was busy in the kitchen alone, and I wanted to come in and help her."
Sure enough, the daughter is the caring little cotton-padded jacket of her parents.
Xu Baitao saw the remaining wickers in the corner and decided to knit a wicker hat for Xiao Shushu.
"You're so good. Just wait a moment and I'll give you a gift."
Xu Baitao took the wicker and flipped it with his fingers. After a while, the wicker hat took shape.
Tang Tianshu had never seen anything like this before. His Shui Lingling eyes were full of novelty. His curiosity overcame his fear of Xu Baitao. Unknowingly, he had already walked to Xu Baitao's side.
Xu Baitao noticed her closeness, and the smile on his face became gentler.
Tang Tianshu asked curiously, "Mom, how did you do it?"
"That's it."
Xu Baitao slowed down her movements and showed Tang Tianshu step by step. After a while, a wicker hat was knitted. She put the hat on Tang Tianshu's head, "Sure enough, this hat looks very good on our Shu Shu's head. "
The little girl was so happy when she received a gift from her mother for the first time.
At this time, Tang Yuansi's voice called her from behind, and she got up and walked out of the kitchen.
After coming out, he found a stranger in the house. He frowned without leaving any trace. What did Tang Yuansi mean?
Didn't they find someone to dip her into the pig cage?
Tang Tianshu also followed her out, and happily took the wicker hat to look at Tang Yuansi, "Dad, daddy, look, this is the wicker hat that my mother knitted for me. Do you think it looks good?"
Tang Yuansi glanced at the wicker hat on Tang Tianshu's little head. The wicker was woven in an orderly manner, with neat workmanship. It was small, delicate and cute.
He looked at Xu Baitao suspiciously, when did this woman still have such skills?
Xu Baitao didn't dodge and looked straight into his appraising gaze.
Anyway, this guy didn't care much about the original owner before. As long as she said yes, he wouldn't be able to find any flaws even if he searched the whole world.
Xu Baitao's fearless attitude made Tang Yuansi even more confused. This woman had never been close to children, but this time she was uncharacteristically different. What was her purpose?
