Bai Fengshou's heart was pounding and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He seemed to sense that there was murderous intent in the eyes of the girl opposite him, and it was directed at him.

"I'm sorry, I should have checked before I went out!"

Bai Fengshou apologized again, saying that it was indeed he who caused the other person to fall.

"You really should open your eyes and take a good look!"

Xia Tao gritted her teeth, and every word she spoke was filled with murderous intent.

Damn it, he peed at her in the dark night, but it wasn't at all slanted, it hit her right on the forehead. He was walking in broad daylight but he couldn't see such a big car like hers, it was obviously intentional.

Son of a bitch!

Bai Fengshou subconsciously stepped back a little. The girl's murderous aura was so strong that he seemed to see a transparent knife. It was so scary.

"I'm sorry, did you fall anywhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

He asked with concern, it looked like he had fallen quite badly.

"Need not!"

Xia Tao sneered. She was a woman of steel. It was just a fall and a bite. There was no need to go to the hospital. Besides, she always got back at her own expense.

She raised her hand slightly, ready to teach Bai Fengshou a lesson, but heard an old and kind voice: "Fengshou, why are you standing at the door without moving?"

Xie Taozhi came out and saw her stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, achilles~~~"

Xia Tao withdrew her hand and looked at Xie Taozhi's kind face. She couldn't help but smile and looked more obedient than ever.

Xia Tao sneezed several times in a row, her eyes were red, she blew her nose hard with a handkerchief, and her nose also turned red. Bai Fengshou blinked, he looked like he wanted to kill someone just now, but now he became harmless, and his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"You've got cold air entering your body. Go home and boil a big bowl of ginger and brown sugar water, drink it while it's still hot, then get into bed and sweat. You'll be fine once you sweat out your body," said Xie Taozhi.

"There is no stove, no bowl, no ginger, and no brown sugar."

Xia Tao blurted out and regretted it the moment she said it. Why did she tell a stranger so much?

The biggest taboo for a ninja is to reveal too much real information about herself, and she violated this taboo.

Xie Taozhi immediately looked at her with pity, thinking that Xia Tao must be having a very hard life. No wonder she was wearing such thin clothes and had caught a cold.

"It's windy outside, it's cold standing here, come inside and sit for a while."

She warmly invited Xia Tao to come in and sit down, not worrying about her identity. Xiao Feng said that the compound was the safest place in the city and there would be no problems.

Xia Tao hesitated. Her mind was telling her to hurry up, but her feet had their own ideas and moved towards the yard. When she came to her senses, the man had already walked into the house.

"Fengshou, you chat with this girl. I'll go make a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water."

Xie Taozhi smiled kindly at Xia Tao and went to the kitchen to cook ginger and brown sugar water. Although she didn't know Xia Tao, she felt loneliness and desolation from her, just like her when she married and went to Baili Village alone.

And when she heard Xia Tao say "Don't touch me", she was very familiar with the self-loathing and hatred in her voice.

After the accident, she could not face the landlord Bai normally for many years. She and the landlord Bai were in name only. They had agreed when they got married that she would give the landlord Bai 500 dollars to buy land and would not stop him from taking a concubine, but there was one thing: she must guarantee her status as the main wife and she had the final say in the inner house.

Although the white landlord was greedy for money, he had a good conscience. He always respected her after marriage. Even if she refused to have sex with him, the man did not force her, but pawned the woman to give birth to a son.

Although Xie Taozhi had no feelings for Landlord Bai, she was still grateful to him. Without this man, her second half of life would not have been so peaceful.

Xia Tao's reaction is incomprehensible to those who have not had the same experience. She is such a pitiful child.

"Don't bother, I'll go home and cook it myself."

Xia Tao felt embarrassed to trouble her.

"You don't have a stove, ginger, or brown sugar? It will be ready soon, just sit back and relax!"

Xie Taozhi smiled and retorted with her words, leaving Xia Tao speechless.

Bai Fengshou couldn't help but laugh, and then received a cold roll of the eyes. Xia Tao didn't look at him kindly at all.

Ten minutes later, Xie Taozhi came out with a bowl of steaming ginger and brown sugar water. The ginger was chopped very finely, and a lot of brown sugar was added. It was a thick bowl. Xia Tao took a sip and it was spicy and pungent, with a hint of sweetness. It tasted very good.

It's the taste in her memory.

When she ran out in the rain when she was a child, her adoptive mother would scold her while making ginger and brown sugar water for her. The ginger was also chopped just as finely, but not as much brown sugar, and the bowl was not as delicate and beautiful, but the taste was exactly the same.

"Eat it while it's hot, and the cold will go away."

Xie Taozhi's kind voice sounded in Xia Tao's ears. She raised her head, and through the mist, the old lady's face seemed to have turned into that of her adoptive mother, smiling at her gently.

Xia Tao gradually lost consciousness and her eyes gradually turned red, but she soon came to her senses, pretended to wipe her eyes carelessly, and said, "It's delicious, thank you grandma!"

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head and drank from it in big gulps.

"Slow down, don't get burned!" Xie Taozhi reminded.

Xia Tao slowed down and drank a large bowl of ginger and brown sugar water. She sweated a lot, her nose was less blocked, and her mind became much clearer.

"Go back and have a good sleep. Don't think too much. Things will get better and better."

Xie Taozhi's voice was very gentle. Xia Tao listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.

"Grandma, I'm leaving. Goodbye!"

In front of Xie Taozhi, Xia Tao's hostility disappeared without a trace and she became particularly well-behaved. After saying goodbye politely, she rode away on her bike without even looking at Bai Fengshou from beginning to end.

Bai Fengshou touched his nose, feeling confused. This was probably the first time he met this girl, and he didn't know why she treated him like an enemy.

"Alas, she is also a poor person. I hope she can come out of it."

Xie Taozhi sighed, her tone full of compassion. It took her nearly her entire life to get over it. She hoped that this girl was stronger than her.

"How can she be pitiful? She's fierce and she's riding a bicycle!"

Bai Fengshou didn't understand. Being able to afford a bicycle meant that she was in good condition. Besides, the clothes Xia Tao wore were almost new, so she definitely had money. There was nothing pitiful about her.

"You don't understand, why don't you go and give Qiqi something?"

Xie Taozhi didn't tell him the reason. Since it concerned her reputation as a girl, she definitely couldn't say anything careless.

"I'm going, grandma. I'll leave right away and come see you when I'm free!"

Bai Fengshou slapped his forehead and almost forgot something important. He was just about to deliver something to Ruan Qiqi, but he ran into Xia Tao on his way out and was delayed.

"I'll be going to work in a few days, so you don't need to come visit me. Go away now!"

Xie Taozhi stood at the door, watching him walk away with a smile, then went back into the house.

Xia Tao came out from the corner. Just now, she had been peeping at the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren like a dark cockroach. Her heart was full of envy and jealousy. She even thought, if she was replaced by Bai Fengshou and lived with Xie Taozhi, how happy she would be!

She smiled self-deprecatingly and rode away on her bike.

Although she liked the old lady very much, she still had to settle the score with the bastard. However, for Xie Taozhi's sake, she could be gentler.
