Tao Lengshuang almost choked on her own saliva. Indeed, the child's forceful explanation was incredibly powerful.
"Speaking of chickens, tomorrow we'll buy some chickens and ducks in the village."
As soon as she spoke, she heard the two geese in the house honking.
Turning her head, she saw two geese walking with arrogant postures, as if patrolling their territory.
Truly the bullies of the village.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Tao Lengshuang, carrying Xiao Feng and a basket, was heading to the mountains to gather firewood, but was stopped halfway by the Yu family mother and daughter.
"Lengshuang, no matter what, we are still family. Our bones are connected even when broken. You can't refuse to help the family."
Yu Shi looked at Tao Lengshuang with sinister eyes and a forced smile.
Tao Lengshuang saw that Yu Shi and her daughter were not smiling and had a guess. Her smiling powder could make the Tao family smile for a full three days.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Yu Shi glanced at Xiao Feng and said to Tao Lengshuang with a smile, "How about this, you help the family get through this winter, and in the future, mother will treat you well."
Tao Lengshuang laughed out of anger, "I truly admire you for having the nerve to say such nonsense."
Yu Shi's eyes darted around, appearing to be thinking of Tao Lengshuang in every way, "Lengshuang, think about it, if you don't have your maternal family as a backing, who will stand up for you if something happens in the future?"
Tao Lengshuang only felt disgusted and ironic, "Stop playing these tricks on me."
"I'd rather be an orphan than have a family that only knows how to exploit me. If you really want money, have Old Master Tao bring the land deeds."
Yu Shi and Tao Fangfang exchanged glances and clung to Tao Lengshuang.
One moment they wanted her to repay the kindness of raising her, the next they wanted her to return the house, and then it was this and that.
Annoyed, Tao Lengshuang quickly took out two packets of powder and looked coldly at Yu Shi and her daughter, "If you don't move aside..."
"Mo family, Mo family, something's happened!"
At this moment, Aunt Shen Er ran over in a hurry, pulling Tao Lengshuang and her son towards her house, "Old Master Tao and his sons brought people to look at the house, saying they want to sell your house."
Upon hearing this, Tao Lengshuang understood the reason why Yu Shi and her daughter were pestering her and immediately wanted to go home to check.
But she was stopped by Yu Shi and her daughter, "Lengshuang, don't listen to Aunt Shen Er's nonsense. Our family would never do such a thing."
Tao Lengshuang was too lazy to argue, raised her hand and sprinkled the powder, then carried Xiao Feng and, with Aunt Shen Er, returned home at the fastest speed.
When she arrived home, she saw Old Master Tao and the buyer exchanging money for the property deed.
She stepped forward, snatched the money and the deed, and stared fiercely at Old Master Tao and his sons, "You've gone to great lengths to scheme against me."
Old Master Tao and his sons didn't expect the matter to be exposed so quickly, and they all took a step back.
"Tao Lengshuang, you unfilial wretch, what are you doing?"
Old Master Tao roared with feigned ferocity, "I'm selling my own house, what business is it of yours?"
Tao Lengshuang ignored him for the moment, turned and smiled at the buyer, "Are you sure you want to buy this house at a cheap price?"
"I advise you to inquire in the village about the feud between me and the Tao family, to avoid being tricked by the Tao family."
The buyer had originally thought the house was good and the price was cheap, which is why he wanted to buy it.
Now, seeing this scene, he hesitated. Could this house really have problems?
"Don't listen to her nonsense,"
Old Master Tao said anxiously, "This house is mine. As long as you get the land deed, no one can do anything to you."
The buyer was not stupid. Seeing the situation, he knew there were significant problems and no longer wanted to take advantage of the cheap price. He repeatedly said he wouldn't buy it.
As soon as he got his money back from Tao Lengshuang, he hurried away.
"Tao! Leng! Shuang!" Old Master Tao glared at Tao Lengshuang, wishing he could kill her.
Tao Lengshuang impatiently picked her ear and put away the deed, "Does being loud make you great? Get lost, or I'll give you two packets of powder."
Old Master Tao and his sons had experienced the power of the powder.
Upon hearing this, they glared hatefully at Tao Lengshuang and fled like stray dogs.
Halfway, they encountered a man in green.
"I must say, your Tao family is truly unlucky. If it were me, I'd have people come to look at the house every day, or just destroy the house, rather than let that wretch Tao Lengshuang live in it."
After speaking, he left.
"Father, he's right."
Tao Laoda gritted his jaw, his hatred burning, "We can't get the house back, but we can't let that slut Tao Lengshuang benefit from it."
Tao Lao Er and the others nodded repeatedly.
"Father, let's first find people to come and buy the house every day. If Tao Lengshuang still refuses to return the house, we'll smash it. We can't let Tao Lengshuang, that married-out daughter, have it."
"Yes, Father, that's the house you worked hard to build. How can you let Tao Lengshuang have it? We'd rather smash it than leave it for Tao Lengshuang, that married-out daughter."
Old Master Tao was very reluctant to part with his house, which he had spent a lot of money to build and had even renovated in recent years.
It would be so heartbreaking to smash it.
But his sons were right. Even if they smashed it, they couldn't let that wretch Tao Lengshuang benefit.
"You find people for me, find as many people as possible to buy the house. I want Tao Lengshuang to have no good days."
Tao Laoda and the others looked at each other and nodded vigorously. That slut Tao Lengshuang made their lives difficult, so they wouldn't let her have an easy time.
...
Tao Lengshuang rubbed her itchy nose, knowing that the matter was not over and there would be more trouble in the future.
"Mo family, I'm afraid the Tao family will keep causing trouble for the house," Aunt Shen Er said with worry, "If the Tao family keeps making a fuss, your days won't be peaceful either."
Tao Lengshuang knew this well and was also aware that the Tao family was a malicious family that would rather break than bend: "I need to find a way to prevent the Tao family from making a move on the house again."
This house was compensation from the Tao family, and she wouldn't foolishly return it to them.
Aunt Shen Er quickly asked if she had a plan.
Tao Lengshuang frowned slightly, thinking of a solution. Since she stopped giving anything to the Tao family, and the Tao family lived in her original home, their lives had become increasingly difficult.
However, the Tao family did have some money, so their lives were not unbearable.
She had to make the Tao family's life even more difficult, or cause internal strife within the family.
"Aunt Shen Er, what is the current situation of the various branches of the Tao family?"
Aunt Shen Er, who turned around the village almost every day, knew the situation of each family best.
Upon hearing this, she covered her mouth with her hand and said in a low voice, "The situation of the various branches of the Tao family is not good at all."
"The Tao family has many people in its various branches, crowded together, with poor food and clothing. Not only do they argue frequently, but they have also resorted to fighting."
Tao Lengshuang had an idea. She leaned close to Aunt Shen Er's ear and whispered something, "I wonder if Aunt Shen Er could help with this matter?"
