Chapter 299 The Fool Who Pleases His Mother-in-Law 8
As a lackey, Wu Li of course had to protect her master, "Xu Tao, you've become much more sharp-tongued since you went out.
Don't forget that no one wanted to play with you at first, and it was us two who brought you along. If it weren't for us, you would have been isolated a long time ago, you ungrateful thing."
"Pfft, since when did the beasts start speaking human language?"
Xu Tao found it boring, so she left with her husband and son after saying something. The two people behind her were so angry that they jumped up and down. When they realized that the light had turned red, they tried to run through it, but a car came straight towards them. They were so scared that they quickly retreated.
The car driver turned pale with fear, but luckily he slammed on the brakes to stop, opened the window and cursed, "Idiot, if you want to die, just tell me earlier. I should have stepped on the accelerator to save you from trouble..."
The driver was a big and strong man, and he cursed at them with great vigor. The other two men were as silent as quails.
Xu Tao didn't know what happened next. When the food was ready, she took her husband to get it, put everything in the space, and went to look for her grandmother. She found the old lady standing alone at the door, looking around, with a confused and panicked look on her face.
"Grandma, why are you the only one here? Where are they? Why didn't you call me yourself?"
"They went back, the car couldn't hold so many people, and my cell phone was out of battery." The old lady said with some grievance.
Xu Tao sighed deeply and led his men back without saying a word along the way.
As soon as he got home, Xu Tao took the old lady's pulse and tricked her into believing that he had been studying Chinese medicine for many years and had already obtained a certificate. After giving her acupuncture, the old lady's complexion became more rosy.
Xu Tao wiped the sweat off her face, poured a glass of spiritual spring water over, and watched her eat the fruit. She let Xingxing stay with the old lady, while she followed her husband to store rice, flour, grain, oil, and some high-sugar and high-fat snacks such as biscuits and mooncakes.
"Taobao, can't we stay a few more days?"
"no need."
Everything was settled. That night, Xu Tao looked at the old lady's face, as if to engrave it in his mind. He gently rested his head on her shoulder and took a photo.
She kept her eyes open until the sky was slightly bright, then she got up, tucked in the quilt, hid a few stacks of red banknotes under her pillow, put on her clothes, and left the village with her husband and son.
Little Star was still asleep. Xu Tao looked at the small building that was getting farther and farther away, and her eyes became red.
"Don't look at me, drive carefully, the mountain road is not easy to drive on."
Xu Tao leaned against the window and looked at the path she had walked as a child.
She remembered that she was homeless at that time and her grandmother was unwilling to take her with her because she was a girl. She followed the adults with trepidation and slowly walked along the path to her grandmother's house.
She knew that she was an unwanted child and her grandmother gave her the only light in life, so every time her uncle asked for something, she would try her best to satisfy him because she wanted her grandmother to live a better life.
She always hoped to live with her grandmother, but it was just wishful thinking after all.
'Tick-tick-tick-tick'
"Hey, grandma, we went back to Beijing because we had work to do."
"Ah? You're going back so early. I was saying that you felt very comfortable after the acupuncture yesterday. I'll go check on your uncle and cousin's wife. They keep saying they feel uncomfortable somewhere. Xiaotao, when will you be back? I still have some food for you."
"Next time, grandma. I put some money under your pillow, and some food under your bed. Please keep it safe. I'll come back with Xingxing for the New Year and ask for food."
"Why are you giving grandma money again? You already spent quite a bit yesterday. Grandma is going to buy you your favorite sugar cakes for the New Year..."
After talking for a while, Xu Tao's mood improved a lot. The few of them drove and played, and it was seven days later when they arrived in Beijing.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. I have been worried these past few days, fearing that the end of the world would come early and you would not be back. Sister-in-law, the money you gave us has been exchanged for supplies. The ones that cannot be stored and are not damaged are placed in the basement of the villa. Please go and collect them."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad. Better today than later. Let's move today!"
Almost all the large items in the house belonged to the landlord, so they didn't have much to pack. They just moved a few bags and put the rest directly into the space.
"Oh my god, what a smell! Why is your house so restless every day? A few days ago you were moving in packages, and today you're moving in some junk. How can we even use the elevator?"
It was this old lady Wu again. Xu Tao didn't want to get involved and didn't say anything back the whole time. Fortunately, the elevator was fast and they soon reached the basement. Unexpectedly, the other party was still following the two of them.
"Auntie Wu, do you think I scared you last time?"
Xu Tao casually took out a kitchen knife and stroked the blade. His eyes changed and the corners of his mouth curled up. It had to be said that he looked a little perverted.
I have to say it was quite intimidating. Old Mrs. Wu didn't dare to force it anymore and fled into the elevator in a panic. There was a loud bang.
Xu Tao was afraid that someone might get into trouble, so he walked over.
Old Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she frantically pressed the off button and shouted, "Don't come over here! Help, help!"
The high-pitched cry spread throughout the entire basement. Xu Tao was speechless and turned around and drove away.
It took nearly two hours to reach the villa. It was quiet and peaceful, or in other words, deserted. There was a mountain not far away, and along the way, there were almost no cars or people except for the security guard at the gate.
No wonder the security base chose this place. If it weren’t for the property certificate, Xu Tao would have thought it looked like an unfinished building.
It was already late when they got home, and everyone was busy running around. Today was the earliest and most peaceful sleep they had.
Xu Tao woke up slowly at two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. She turned on her phone and found more than fifty missed calls and messages popping up one by one. She knew how dirty the other party's curses were without clicking on them.
Didn't she just do a good deed and send the Zhao Feng brothers to jail? Why was Xia Shuhua so excited?
I wanted to hear the tragic situation with my own ears, so I automatically filtered out some unbearable words. When I found out that the result was similar to what I had expected, I went downstairs humming a song.
"Sister-in-law, why is there no movement up there?"
Zhong Qiu held his chin with both hands. They took the risk of posting a few photos and released some content online, but in the end, nothing happened.
Xu Tao found time to check the news almost every day, but she never saw what she was hoping for. She paid for push notifications, but her account was blocked. She had no choice but to alert close friends and family, but they were powerless to help.
The aunt and sister-in-law were talking when they heard a loud rumbling sound outside. Their throats instantly rose to their throats. Could it be that they had discovered their trick and were coming to catch them?
Xu Tao prepared herself mentally and gathered the whole family. If anything went wrong, she would take them to hide in the space. Even if they had to hide there for a lifetime, it would be better than being pulled out and sliced into pieces.
