Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 401 The Maid Who Pushes Away 7

Old man Xu looked at Xu Tao and the others with an increasingly unfriendly look, but he had to suppress his anger. He didn't want to confront the Wen family. The four pillars still had to take the imperial examinations. What if Lord Wen made things difficult for them?

He had to calm down and say, "Xu Tao, what do you want to do when you come back this time?"

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to come back and see my parents."

"You've seen it all, so hurry up and leave. As a maid, you should have the consciousness of a maid. Don't come home in the future."

Old man Xu waved his hand to drive the man away. At this moment, he didn't want to ask for benefits from the other party, he just wanted to drive this plague away.

He shouldn't have sold her to the Wen Mansion in the first place. She couldn't be beaten or scolded. If she had been sold to a brothel, would she still be so arrogant now? He had to think carefully about where the third girl should go. She couldn't be like her sister, who relied on others for power.

"Mr. Xu, I still have something to discuss with you."

"I have nothing to discuss with you, so leave now."

"Okay, then uncle..."

Xu Tao shrugged and was about to take everyone into the carriage, but Old Man Xu panicked. He called out to people several times but the carriage didn't stop. He felt very uncomfortable.

"Taotao, your parents..."

Shaoyao seemed to be hesitant to speak. It seemed like Taohua had done nothing since she came back this time.

"Sister Shaoyao, my parents are fine. It's getting late, we have to go back to the Wen Mansion early, otherwise we won't be able to make it before dark."

Shaoyao didn't say anything more. Mother Zhang had been through so much, how could she not know what the little girl was thinking? She nodded secretly, being a patient person.

The carriage sped all the way and successfully arrived at the Wen Mansion before dark. Xu Tao followed her aunt out of the door and asked Mother Zhang and the others to go back and rest first.

After Xia He and the others left, he spoke up: "Taotao, why didn't you just...?"

Xu Tao knew that her aunt wanted to ask her why she didn't bring her parents to the city, but this was not a permanent solution. What would she do after bringing them out this time?

The Xu family had over twenty people in total, and her parents couldn't possibly defeat them. At least in her previous life, when she was a concubine, her parents still lived under the care of the old couple, and the money they saved for her was also earned by her father staying up late at night to go hunting.

He didn't dare take the prey he caught home, and hurried out and back in the dark. He didn't know how much agency fees he had earned because of his anxiety.

"Auntie, you are like this..."

"daughter in law!!!"

Xu Tao was interrupted just after she said a few words. Xia He turned around and saw someone patting her on the head. She had forgotten about her husband.

"Hello, uncle."

"Hey, Taotao, you've grown a lot stronger."

Xia He couldn't help but roll her eyes. How could you praise a little girl like that?

Zhao Liushi also realized that what he said was inappropriate. He scratched his head, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say.

"Your uncle is not good at talking, Taotao, don't listen to her. You are talking to Tingting Yuli."

"It's okay, auntie. It's better to be stronger."

‘Gululu~’

The aunt and nephew both looked towards the source of the sound. A faint blush appeared on the dark-faced man's face. He was worried that his wife couldn't find him, so he stood at the door and didn't dare to move. He couldn't help but feel his stomach growling after being hungry all day.

Xu Tao hurriedly took everyone to a restaurant for a meal. At first, the couple refused to agree, but in the end, Xia He was dragged along by Zhao Liushi.

"Taotao, why don't we go to the noodle stall?"

"Auntie, once you order something, you can't return it. If you leave and can't eat it, we still have to pay for it."

Xia He quickly shut up, and the couple left with their bellies bulging and their faces red. They wanted to pay, but found that they couldn't even afford the change, and their total money was only thirty cents.

Both of them are hardworking, but they can never save money. The main reason is that they have a weak eldest son who gets sick whenever the weather changes, and his medicine consumes the family savings. The only reason they don't have any external debt is because they work hard from dawn to dusk.

The two originally wanted to go back in the dark, but Xu Tao said she had something to discuss, so she kept them. At night, she shared a room with her aunt, while her uncle had a room to himself.

The next morning, the couple woke up early and rushed back home. They were worried about the elderly and children at home. Xu Tao did not stop them. She forced them to buy some things before letting the couple go back.

Before leaving, Xia He patted her chest and promised her eldest niece that she would definitely get things done before she hurriedly left with her husband.

After seeing people off, Xu Tao strolled around the street. Whenever he saw something new, he would buy some and smuggle a lot of them into the space using the basket as a cover.

She stopped at the door of the pawnshop. She wanted to buy a house and then bring her parents to live in the city. It would be annoying if the old couple always found fault with her if she lived close by.

"Girl, what do you want to buy?"

"Two-story houses can be found in either the west or north part of the city."

The broker's eyes lit up, and he looked like a fat sheep. He immediately sorted out the resources in his hands and explained, "Miss, you came at the right time. There happened to be a house for sale in the west of the city yesterday. It's a great place. If you had come earlier or later, someone would have rushed to buy it. That place...

Of course, there are a few in the east of the city. If you have time now, I can take you there."

"Lead the way."

The east side of the city was closer, so they started looking from there. The first yard was dilapidated, and Xu Tao walked in and took a look and didn't want to look at it anymore. This place couldn't be repaired even if they bought it, so they had to tear it down and rebuild it.

The second place was quite new, but when you walked in, it was windy and there was little sunlight. The restaurant in front just blocked the sunlight, which Xu Tao didn't like very much.

Seeing this, the broker quickly said, "Miss, the sun has just risen now. It will be bright at noon."

Xu Tao was speechless. Shouldn't this guy read what he was saying? Is there any house that cannot be illuminated at noon?

The broker seemed to have realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed, and hurried to take his people to the third place.

Xu Tao turned around and left. There were so many dentists in so many shops, there was no need to waste time following this person. It was obvious that he was trying to bully her because she was young.

"Girl, wait a minute. I promise I will take you to a good place this time."

The broker quickly stopped the person. He had originally thought that the girl was easy to fool so that he could sell the unused houses he had. But now that he saw that the girl was about to leave, he dared not make trouble anymore.

No matter how the other party shouted, Xu Tao ignored her. She had already explained her requirements in detail on the way here, but the other party still pretended not to understand. There was no need for her to continue to argue.

After returning to the original place, I walked directly to the shop opposite. Someone immediately came up to me and said, "Miss, please have a cup of hot tea. Do you want to buy a shop or a house, or a servant?"

The man who came had a round face and a very festive smile. Xu Tao took the tea and put it aside, then directly repeated his request in detail.

"I have three suitable places here. Let me give you a general idea of the situation. If you are satisfied, I will take you to see them."
