The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl-Chapter 1819: Tao Qin Is Getting Married
Shu Yu put down what she was doing and walked out of the house.
"What’s going on here?"
Despite the cold weather, Meng Han was sweating on her forehead, indicating she had rushed over.
She stopped abruptly in front of Shu Yu, her face flashing with gossip, "Sister Shuyu, there’s big news."
Shu Yu pulled her inside to sit down, "What big news? Tell me slowly."
Meng Han took a sip of hot tea, caught her breath, and eagerly started speaking, "Weren’t we going to Tao Family today to pay a New Year’s visit?"
The Tao Family she mentioned was not Tao Feili’s home.
When Uncle Meng said to cut ties, he truly meant it. Ms. Tao no longer cared about her brother’s affairs. Before the New Year, Zhang Clan still had some hope left, bringing her children to cry about their poverty, claiming they couldn’t survive, and their family was running out of food, hoping the Meng family would help.
However, Zhang Clan didn’t expect Ms. Tao to be totally disheartened, thinking a ruckus back then would settle over time. Ms. Tao was so fond of Tao Feili; she surely wouldn’t abandon his children.
No matter how miserably she cried, Ms. Tao didn’t come out to check on them.
The Meng family chased the Zhang Clan out, and the second time they returned, it turned into a physical altercation.
Zhang Clan realized they couldn’t rely on the Meng family, and since then, there was truly no more contact.
Yet Uncle Meng only asked Ms. Tao not to be involved with Tao Feili’s family; he didn’t anticipate she’d entirely sever ties with other Tao family members. Ms. Tao still had aunts, uncles, and other elders, all of whom lived in Tao Family Village, and they cherished her in her childhood.
Before New Year, Ms. Tao took Meng Qi and Meng Han for a visit to Tao Family Village and explained the cause of things.
Most villagers in Tao Family Village were relatives, and the village chief was Ms. Tao’s paternal uncle. Upon hearing that Tao Feili sold out Uncle Meng to the rebels, they cursed Tao Feili to death.
If Tao Feili’s actions were slightly more serious, he could’ve been directly accused of colluding with rebels. This issue wouldn’t just implicate his own family but the entire Tao Family Village.
Luckily, the Meng family didn’t bear a grudge, or else they’d have all been in trouble.
So the relatives in Tao Family Village didn’t blame Ms. Tao; instead, they wished to maintain familial relationships.
Thus, since it was the New Year, it seemed only natural to visit Tao Family Village.
Who could have imagined, upon arriving at Tao Family Village, Meng Han heard something significant?
"Sister Shuyu, did you know Tao Qin is about to get married?"
Shu Yu’s hand paused, "Tao Qin getting married? Didn’t her father just pass away?"
"Precisely because he just passed away, she has to marry within three months; otherwise, it’ll be three years later."
Shu Yu understood.
But Meng Han waved her hand, "Of course, that’s not the main point. The point is that Tao Qin is marrying a businessman from the neighboring county town. That businessman is almost fifty years old and old enough to be her grandfather. According to an aunt from Tao Family Village, the man is fat and has big ears; his first wife died just half a year ago, and now he wants to remarry. Moreover, he has seven or eight concubines at home."
Shu Yu, "..."
"With Tao Qin’s temperament, she shouldn’t agree to this, right? Did she cause a scene?"
Meng Han gave Shu Yu a thumbs-up, "Sister Shuyu, you really know people well. She caused a scene, of course, she did. But this time, no one helped her because this was her own doing. She wanted to harm others, but in the end, she didn’t hurt anyone and got herself into trouble."
