In every book, there's a scumbag, despicable and shameless, selfish and insidious, who brings misery to countless others. When the boss takes on the scumbag script, they can turn the tables in ...
After Tao Rui explained his intention to take people away to the village chief, the village chief puffed on his cigarette for a while, took two puffs, looked at the four strong men outside the door, and soon figured it out.
None of them helped when that man beat Tao Fang, and Tao Rui even showered them with gifts. Tao Rui wasn't being taken advantage of, but rather demonstrating his strength. A schoolboy, still in school, could take so much money without even having to pay, and he knew more than them. Honestly, he'd be a fool to offend Tao Rui for a man like that. Tao Rui was the golden phoenix of their village!
The village chief asked his daughter-in-law to go there in person and bring the person over.
The man's mother and brother also came with him, looking aggressive and ready to settle the score. However, as soon as they entered the room, Tao Rui raised his chin. The four strong men locked the door, followed him in with cold faces, and then locked the door as well.
The man was startled. "What are you doing? Are you hitting someone? Tao Fang, what do you mean? Are you bullying me?"
He yelled and reached out to pull Tao Fang. Tao Rui grabbed his fingers and twisted them hard, then let him go as he screamed. He said gently, "If you have something to say, sit down and talk slowly. Or do you think 20,000 is too much?"
"Bah! We gave your family 10,000 yuan back then. We married this bitch and raised her in my house for so long. You think you can take her away for 20,000 yuan? Dream on!"
The village chief scolded, "How can you say that? That's enough, what else do you want?"
The village head's wife looked out the window and said with a sullen expression, "There are quite a few people outside looking in. Keep your voice down. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they heard you?"
"Tao Rui is not afraid of losing face, so why should we be afraid? This kid doesn't recognize his relatives after he became rich. Village chief, please judge for me, is there any person who behaves like this? If my family hadn't paid a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan, would he have the money to go to school in the capital? What do you call him? An ungrateful wolf!" Tao Fang's mother-in-law cursed and was about to hit someone.
Tao Rui looked at them expressionlessly and said calmly, "It seems you are not satisfied with this solution. Then I will take my sister to get her injuries examined and report the case. If you don't understand the law, you can go to the town police station to inquire about how long she will be held before being released. You may also have to pay for medical expenses. Can your family afford it?"
He took a sip of water and continued, "I was admitted to university with a full scholarship. My family didn't have to spend a penny, and yet I was able to go to university. As for your family's 10,000 yuan betrothal gift, weren't you all rushing to pay it? Because I was admitted to a university in the capital, you were so anxious to marry my sister and make us relatives. If Feifei hadn't refused to marry, you would have wanted Feifei to marry your relative."
I really don't deserve the name of "ungrateful wolf."
When the family was about to step forward, four strong men stood in a row directly in front of Tao Rui. They were frightened and could only yell in a cowardly manner, scolding Tao Rui for not recognizing his relatives and being a snobbish man who looked down on them.
The village chief probed, "Xiao Rui, how about... having them write a letter of guarantee? From now on, the villagers will help you keep an eye on them and tell them not to bully Tao Fang again. How about that?"
Tao Rui shook his head. "I must take my sister with me. They don't have a marriage certificate, so they're not even considered husband and wife. I'm willing to give them 20,000 yuan, which is the most I can do for the sake of being from the same village. But it seems the villagers don't welcome me very much either."
The village chief was startled, realizing Tao Rui was disappointed with the village. He patted the man and said, "Shut up! Aren't you dissatisfied with your wife's inability to bear children? Just take the 20,000 yuan and marry someone else to have children. Do you really want to go to jail?"
Tao Rui stood up, walked up to the family, and looked at them expressionlessly, completely lacking the gentleness he had just shown when he returned, which made people feel scared for no reason.
"Tao Fei took Tao Fang to the hospital for a checkup. She couldn't have not told you. There's nothing wrong with her body. Who has the problem? You know it in your heart."
“You, you, you…”
"Twenty thousand, take it or not?"
Tao Rui handed over 20,000 yuan. The other party looked at him, quickly took the money and counted it among several people.
Tao Rui smiled faintly at the village chief and said, "The matter has been resolved. We will go back first. I am sorry to bother you today, uncle village chief."
The village chief waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. As long as you're alright, go back. Come back often. We all miss you."
"Of course. There are still many kind-hearted people here. I will remember my hometown." Tao Rui said meaningfully, "We have to be strict with this black sheep. Uncle Village Chief has worked hard to take care of the village. Go to bed early."
The village chief watched Tao Rui leave, smoking a cigarette and thinking, his eyes slowly falling on the family. They were busy counting money and didn't hear what Tao Rui said at all.
Tao Rui's words were full of meaning. What did he mean by "not being strict"? Did he mean to teach this family a lesson? This was understandable. If he were Tao Rui, he would have personally beaten them up long ago.
The village chief was very annoyed with them and told them to get out immediately.
Many onlookers outside started asking questions as soon as they saw them. The man didn't hide anything and said proudly, "I let Tao Fang go home. She's so ignorant. Tao Rui compensated me 20,000 yuan."
His mother quickly said, "I'll find a wife for my son later. Anyone interested can come to my house to see her."
They had smiles on their faces and would occasionally criticize the Tao family. But no one agreed. They had just received Tao Rui's gifts. Besides, Tao Rui was obviously a wealthy man. Who would be so stupid as to offend Tao Rui for such a person?
But Tao Rui actually compensated him with 20,000 yuan? How generous! It seems he's become successful outside. He must not be offended.
After returning home, Tao Rui asked Tao Fang if she had anything to take from her in-laws' house. Tao Fang shook her head and said, "I don't want anything from that house."
"Okay, then don't do that." Tao Rui put his arm around her shoulders. It would be inappropriate to say anything at this time, so he could only comfort her silently.
Tao's mother had just packed her things and had no idea where they were going. When she heard that Tao Rui wanted to take Tao Fang away with him and even gave them 20,000 yuan, her face turned pale. "20, 20,000 yuan? No, I'm going to ask him to return it..."
"Mom, Tao Fang can't go back." Tao Rui grabbed her and stopped her from going.
Tao's mother glanced at Tao Fang, sighed, and sat down on the stool. "I know she's suffered a lot, but she's married now. How can she go home? How will she live in the future? I'm useless. I can't help her even if I see her being bullied."
"Okay, Aunt Juan, it's all in the past. Don't think too much about it." Zhu Xiaoyun squatted beside Tao's mother, holding her hand and whispering, "Twenty thousand is a lot of money in the village, but not much in the capital. Aunt Juan, you can make tens of thousands by appearing on TV this time."
"...What? Tens of thousands?"
"Maybe hundreds of thousands. You have to perform well then. If the audience likes you, the price can be negotiated." Zhu Xiaoyun took out a tablet from her bag and found a downloaded program to show her. "Auntie Juan, take a look first. You can't say everything on the show, but don't lie either. Some of the elders who have been on the show before are very likable, while others are a bit annoying. You can take a look first to familiarize yourself."
Tao's mother suddenly became nervous, "Oh, I can't speak, what if I mess up?"
Zhu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll explain it to you. You're already very popular. Don't be afraid. The capital is a great place. A twenty-year-old girl like Tao Fang is still a young girl in the capital. Even if she's married, it's okay. Most people outside don't care about it and won't laugh at her. She can live a much better life than here, just like me."
Zhu Xiaoyun is a woman who grew up in this village and can best understand Tao's mother's worries, so her words touched Tao's mother's heart.
Tao's mother looked at her bright and beautiful appearance, then at Tao Fang's haggard appearance, and nodded several times, "Okay, let's go to the capital together. The three of us can all work and earn money, and not hold Xiao Rui back. It's better than being beaten here."
Only after Tao's mother agreed did Tao Fang show some joy and enthusiastically went to the kitchen to cook for everyone.
Tao Rui said something to them, went out to a deserted place in the back of the mountain, picked a bunch of herbs and made some medicine in the back of the mountain.
[Brother Rui, are you going to poison that family? ]
Tao Rui paused, [Why do you think so?]
[Because your expression looks like you want to kill someone.]
Tao Rui lowered his head and continued preparing the medicine. After a moment, he said, "That's what I thought, but in this world, I can't do that. I can only resort to violence when my life is in danger, because that's legitimate self-defense. Taskers have their own rules, so I'll only let Tao Fang vent her anger without breaking the rules."
The system understands that it’s just stepping on the line.
It consciously acted as a helper. When Tao Rui was on the move, it monitored the surroundings and told him at any time where there were people and how to avoid them.
Tao Rui took action at dawn the next day, and he also brought Tao Fang and Zhu Xiaoyun with him.
He brought Tao Fang with him because he wanted her to vent her anger herself so that she could get over this hurdle. He brought Zhu Xiaoyun with him because he hoped that she would become stronger as soon as possible. Besides, Zhu Xiaoyun was his other half and should know what he had done.
Tao Fang was still a little hesitant as she walked on the road, but Zhu Xiaoyun held her tightly and encouraged her to teach that scumbag a lesson.
Tao Rui lit the prepared medicine behind the family's room. Two minutes later, he led his men in and all of them fell asleep unconscious.
Tao Rui asked, "Who hit you?"
Tao Fang said in disbelief, "Brother, what did you just do? Did you study this in college?"
"The more people you know, the more things you can learn. It never hurts to learn more. Don't worry, I haven't learned anything bad." Tao Rui touched her head, "Don't be afraid. If you have a grudge, you can take it back. Don't hold back."
Tao Fang pursed her lips, went to the warehouse to get a rope and a sack, put her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law in the sacks and tied them up tightly.
Tao Rui dragged the two men into the warehouse, and Tao Fang took a shovel and beat them hard!
"I'm not a bitch! I'm not a chicken that doesn't lay eggs! You are the bastards, bastards!"
Tao Fang cursed them a few times, then stopped talking when she saw they were starting to wake up. Instead, she hit them harder. The two men, their mouths gagged with rags, were terrified and thrashed and wriggled, whimpering and struggling.
Tao Fang worked at their house every day and was very strong. She hit them with the shovel dozens of times, and the two of them were in so much pain that they wished they could die immediately.
Tao Rui clearly saw that Tao Fang's empty eyes became bright.
She hated them, so she had to vent it out.
It is reasonable to take revenge, especially when the person taking revenge is the real culprit. He is just helping out and is not breaking the rules at all.
He gave the money before because the original owner did take the betrothal money, and since he was responsible for this, he had to return the money.
Now he beat people up just to vent his anger for his family. I believe the village chief also understood his hint. From now on, as long as the village chief and the villagers still want to get benefits from him, they will not let this family have an easy time.
When Tao Fang was tired of beating him, Zhu Xiaoyun picked up a stick and helped beat him for a long time. Finally, both of them stopped because their arms were sore.
Tao Rui walked over, put his arm around each of their shoulders, and looked at them questioningly. They both nodded, dropped their "weapons," and went home with Tao Rui.
Tao Rui loaded all the luggage into the car and left the small village with his family at dawn.
Although the original owner was a golden phoenix that soared out of the ravine, he had never received any favors from the villagers. He had always wanted to be a superior person and knew how to work hard. So after the villagers turned a blind eye to the hardship of Tao's mother and Tao Fang, he didn't need to be too kind to them. The current situation was enough.
Tao Rui looked back at the small village and said to Tao Fei, "Remember to chat with your friends when you have time. Some people cannot have children, and they should not be allowed to marry by deception."
Tao Fei's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "I understand, don't worry."
After they left in the car and boarded the plane, Tao Fang finally smiled for the first time. She was truly free; her brother hadn't lied to her. Tao Fei had even more expectations of Tao Rui. He hadn't asked for the 50,000 yuan he'd given her back, and she was about to go to the capital. Their whole family was about to start a new life.
Tao Fei couldn't help but ask, "Tao Rui, why did you only take Mom with you to that job? Can you take us with you too? We can do anything, we want to make money too."
Tao Rui looked at the magazine and raised an eyebrow. "After you get used to calling me brother, I'll consider taking you on TV. But you have to improve your image first. The audience likes beautiful people."
Tao Fei hummed softly, and Zhu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "My colleague knows a lot about skin care. Can I ask her to teach us? We should always look beautiful in the future."
"Okay." The three girls had a very good relationship and were very happy at this time. They gathered together and talked and laughed in low voices, looking very happy.
Tao's mother had been watching shows on her tablet, gaining a glimpse into the outside world. But when she saw Tao Rui's nice house, she was still stunned. When she heard Tao Rui mention renting a place for the three of them, she almost tried to stop him. Then, thinking of the celebrity moms on the show, she reminded herself to develop good habits and not embarrass her son. She swallowed her heartache and smiled, "Okay, if you say rent, then I'll go with you. We don't need such a big place, and it doesn't need to be so nice."
Tao Rui shook his head and said, "That won't do. When the show is being filmed, if they see me living in a nice house and my mother living in a lousy one, they'll all call me unfilial."
"What? You care about that? Then, let's rent a good place. Didn't Xiaoyun say I could make a lot of money on TV? I'll give it all to you. Use it to pay the rent. Rent a good place!"
Tao Rui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the rent. You guys take a break and let Xiaoyun take you shopping for clothes and jewelry. The show will be filmed, and we can't let people think you're not doing well."
Mother Tao opened her mouth, looked at the exquisite decoration around her, gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, use my money."
Tao Rui smiled and thought his mother was quite cute. He suddenly found a way to make her accept a good life.
After checking Tao Rui's account balance, Zhu Xiaoyun felt confident and took them directly to the mall to do some shopping. Actually, she didn't know much about shopping herself, so she asked her most fashionable colleague to help her buy several sets of clothes for the Tao family mother and daughter, from head to toe.
Tao Fei has a leg injury and cannot go out, but she looks 90% like Tao Fang and has almost the same figure. Tao Fang can help her try, and then Zhu Xiaoyun will video call her and let her choose.
Shopping always makes people happy. Even if they feel bad about spending money, they still can't stop smiling.
The two men who had been severely beaten by them in the mountain village lay in bed in agony, groaning non-stop and telling everyone they met that the Tao family had beaten them. However, since they hadn't seen anyone, and had no evidence, their claims were just nonsense. The more they spoke, the more everyone understood how much the Tao family hated them. Some even heard that Tao Fang's infertility wasn't her fault at all, but the man's.
Now, families who had originally wanted to marry their daughters off have given up the idea. How can they get married if they can't have children? Besides, they will have to endure hardships and offend Tao Rui. Who would marry him?
The mother and son soon discovered that after watching the fun, everyone stopped coming to see them and laughed at them. The village chief was also very annoyed with their attitude, and their life suddenly became difficult.
The 20,000 yuan they earned was used to treat their fractures, which took a long time and cost a lot of money. This also delayed them from going to work in the fields and caused dissatisfaction among their family members. It was simply not worth it.
They had not yet realized that sad days were yet to come.
A small village is a small group. When they are excluded from this small group and have no ability to leave the group, they feel like their lives are suffering.
"My Son" has started filming. Tao Rui will shoot first. After the four male artists finish filming one episode, they will film their mother watching the film in the studio.
The production crew asked Tao Rui what kind of daily life he would mainly film and if there were any special programs to make it a highlight. Tao Rui said without hesitation: "I will film my daily love life with my fiancée, and help my two younger sisters adapt to their new life."
Zhu Xiaoyun, who was acting as a temporary agent nearby, was stunned and said in disbelief: "I'm filming too? That means..."
"Announce your relationship." Tao Rui smiled at her, "It's time."
