The Zhou family is still happily preparing to help Zhou Quan find employment with the Tao family.
Aunt Tao's family is planning to get their youngest daughter married.
The youngest daughter Tao Meiyu cried every day at home.
Aunt Tao felt very distressed, "Meiyu, don't worry, as long as your eldest sister and the young master of the Zhou family are not married yet, you still have a chance."
Tao Meiyu wiped her tears and looked towards Tao Yaofang's house, "It's all because of her. If it weren't for her, my marriage to Young Master Zhou would have been settled smoothly." ?.?????. ???
Zhou Quan's biological mother was also a beauty in the past, and the emperor was also a talented person when he was young. Her appearance was naturally not bad. Although she was not as good as Zhou Ruiyuan, she was one of the best in Cheng'an County.
When Tao Meiyu saw him, she couldn't move her eyes away, and she had already been thinking about him.
Aunt Tao couldn't help but glance at Tao Yaofang lying in the room. She took Tao Meiyu's hand to comfort her and said, "Meiyu, don't be sad. Mom will help you find a way."
Tao Meiyu stopped crying and asked Aunt Tao with red eyes: "Mom, what else can you do?"
Aunt Tao cast her eyes on Tao Yaofang and said fiercely: "Let your sister get engaged to the Zhou family first, and then sell her secretly. When the Zhou family can't marry anyone, they will naturally marry you home."
Aunt Tao was surprised and said, "Mom, are you going to sell my eldest sister?"
Aunt Tao quickly changed her words: "It's not for sale. Doesn't Mr. He from Qingzhou Prefecture want to take a concubine? I want to marry your eldest sister."
"Although the He family is not as good as the Zhou family, they are engaged in the grain and oil business and are not short of money."
She said, deliberately raising her tone: "Besides, it is already a blessing for a woman like her to be a concubine for other people's families."
Tao Meiyu covered her mouth and said, "Mom, Mr. He has a lot of wives and concubines at home. If you get married in the future, you won't have to suffer."
Mr. He not only has a group of wives and concubines, but also has special hobbies. Aunt Tao heard about these from the maid in the back kitchen of He Mansion.
She has been washing clothes for wealthy families in Qingzhou Prefecture over the years, so she often hears some unknown gossip there.
After Aunt Tao returned home, she told her little daughter what she saw and heard as a joke.
That's why Tao Meiyu reacted like this.
Although she resented her eldest sister for stealing her good marriage, she was not cruel enough to kill her eldest sister like this.
Aunt Tao didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if Mr. He has many wives and concubines, as long as there are enough for her to eat and plenty for her to wear, it will be fine."
Tao Yaofang was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending to be unconscious and listening to their conversation, her heart felt like a knife.
She has always known that her mother does not like her, so she has been very sensible since she was a child. When she was five years old, she helped her mother cook and often smoked her little face black.
When she was older, she would cook alone, thinking about how to make her mother what she liked to eat every day, and happily bring the dishes to the table every day, just to give her mother a smile.
But in the end Aunt Tao would only scold her and hit her.
She has great strength from Xiaopi, and if she really wants to fight Aunt Tao, Aunt Tao is no match for her.
The reason why she didn't fight back was that she had been hoping to get the maternal love that a normal person should have from her.
However, just now, she heard the conversation between her mother and sister outside the house, and she completely realized that no matter how well she did, no matter how much she paid for the family, she would never get her care or love.
Even a little sympathy from ordinary people is a luxury.
She clenched her trembling hands into fists and secretly swore that the suffering she had endured for more than ten years would be regarded as her filial duty, and that her future life and death would have nothing to do with this family.
Tao Yaofang slowly turned her face sideways, unable to hold back the tears in the corners of her eyes any longer, they flowed down in unison.
Outside the house, Aunt Tao and Tao Meiyu discussed it and went to Qingzhou Mansion.
Fortunately, it takes a whole day to get to Qingzhou Prefecture from their village.
Aunt Tao won't be able to come back for a while.
Tao Yaofang took advantage of the fact that they were not at home, endured the pain in her body, and got up with difficulty. She didn't take anything, but found a small clay figurine under her pillow.
This little clay figurine was given to her by her father.
It's a pity that she only got this thing from her parents in her life.
She wiped her tears, held the clay figure in her arms, and walked outside while holding on to the wall.
A few days ago, when Aunt Tao hit her,
