"Your Gan Defa can't satisfy you? Why are you so angry?"
Ruan Qiqi made a joke, saying that after so many years of marriage, his temper had not improved at all.
“Hang up!”
Xia Tao hung up as soon as she said she would, then floated upstairs and prepared to continue sleeping.
Last night she watched "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and accidentally watched it until dawn. It was Gan Defa who couldn't stand it anymore and forced her to go to bed.
I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by the phone. It was not a serious matter. Xia Tao planned to call Ruan Qiqi in the middle of the night tomorrow to return the favor.
Ruan Qiqi listened to the beeping sound in the microphone, smiled helplessly, and called again.
"A Tao, this must be someone looking for you, answer the phone!"
Gan's mother was busy in the kitchen and yelled upstairs.
Xia Tao stared at the phone for a few seconds, then floated down with gritted teeth, answered the phone and threatened: "Don't blame me for being rude if you don't have anything to do."
"How's your stomach now?"
Ruan Qiqi asked directly, without any hesitation.
There was silence on the phone for a long time before Xia Tao's voice came: "No movement, so let it be. The fool refused to divorce."
When the doctor told her that it would be difficult for her to have children, she filed for a divorce and was scolded by Gan Defa's family. Then the same family came one after another to comfort her.
"It has never been easy for our Gan family to have children. We didn't have Fa Zai until five years after we got married. We prayed to the gods, went abroad, and tried everything. In the fifth year, we decided that if we couldn't get pregnant again, we would go to an orphanage to adopt a child. And then Fa Zai came. Ah Tao, husband and wife, mother and child, and father and son are all destined. If it's yours, it will come sooner or later. If it's not yours, you won't get it even if you wait ten thousand years!"
Father Gan told the true story of the old couple.
"You and Fa Zai are meant to be together, so how can you get divorced over such a small matter? That's so irresponsible. I consulted a fortune teller and he said you are destined to have two sons and a daughter. The fortune teller is very smart and he said that the time has definitely not come yet. Don't worry."
Gan's mother had great trust in the master she found and was certain that she would have two grandsons and one granddaughter.
"Is it possible that the two sons and one daughter were born to another woman?"
Xia Tao analyzed calmly that her land was not good, so how could she grow crops?
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about? It's you and Fa Zai who are born. You are a match made in heaven. You are to spend the rest of your lives together. That's what the master said."
Gan's mother spat a few times. She only recognized Xia Tao as her daughter-in-law.
and--
"Wait a few more years. If there is still no sign of movement, we will adopt the child from an orphanage. The grace of giving birth to a child is greater than the grace of raising one. As long as the child eats our Gan family's food and sleeps in our Gan family's bed, he or she is our Gan family's child."
Gan's mother comforted them. Although she really wanted a biological grandchild, she had experienced the pain of childbirth firsthand, so she didn't want to put pressure on Xia Tao.
Even if she can't give birth, it doesn't matter. An adopted grandson is still a biological grandson. She and the old man are very open-minded about it.
Gan Defa even said fiercely that he would never divorce her even if he died. It didn't matter whether they had children or not. What mattered was that his wife must be Xia Tao.
So, the marriage did not end in divorce, and they have been married for four years now.
Xia Tao and Gan Defa had discussed it and decided to persist for five years, just like Gan's father and mother had done. If there was no movement, they would go to an orphanage to adopt a child.
Ruan Qiqi's voice came from the phone: "I found a son for you. He has good qualifications and carries a blood feud. You must be interested."
"The whole family was wiped out?"
Xia Tao was indeed interested. Life in Hong Kong was pretty good and being a principal was interesting. The only bad thing was that it was too dull.
Xiangjiang is a small place with not much excitement. She feels that her life now is too dull and she misses her life in 759.
"That's about right. I'll bring it over now. We'll have lunch at your house. You can prepare some hearty dishes!"
Ruan Qiqi unceremoniously assigned Xia Tao to do some work. Since she brought such a grown-up son here, it was only natural for her to have a big meal.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Tao no longer felt sleepy. She went upstairs to change her clothes, went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Gan's mother, and then went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
"Buy more ribs and shrimps. Potatoes and babies love them." Gan's mother instructed.
"knew!"
Xia Tao responded and went out with the basket of vegetables. The neighbors she met along the way greeted her warmly, with a hint of respect in their enthusiasm.
Xia Tao, who had just married, did not receive recognition from the people in Lianhua Street. Some people thought she was pretty and thin and easy to bully, so they spoke to her impolitely, and some men even spoke to her in a flirtatious manner.
The result was that these men had their limbs broken by Xia Tao, and happily received a month-long luxurious vacation in the hospital.
Before I was discharged from the hospital, Gan Defa taught me a lesson again. I successfully upgraded my room to the hospital's luxury vacation and stayed for another month.
Later, a few more things happened and everyone witnessed Xia Tao's terrifying fighting power. No one dared to underestimate her anymore. When they saw her from afar, they would greet her and were more respectful to her than to Gan Defa.
Xia Tao went to the pork stall and picked out a few pounds of the tenderest ribs. The pork owner chopped the ribs skillfully and held the scale high when weighing them, not daring to shortchange her at all.
"Have you been gambling again recently?"
Xia Tao asked casually.
The pork seller's hand trembled, and the sharp knife almost chopped his hand. He replied tremblingly: "No... No, I have already quit!"
"You don't beat your wife anymore?"
"Absolutely not. She's the one who beats me now."
The pork seller pulled open his collar in grievance. There was a bloody mark on his neck, which was scratched by his wife last night.
Ever since he was severely punished by Xia Tao, the woman in his family who didn't even dare to speak loudly became like a tigress. She became hateful and not only scolded him but also hit him.
He didn't dare to fight back because Xia Tao said that if he dared to hit his wife again, she would cut him into pieces and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
"The skin isn't even broken, why are you being so pretentious?"
Xia Tao glared with disdain. Until now, she still hated men, but the two men from the Gan family were added to her list of those she didn't hate.
The pork shop owner shut up aggrievedly, weighed the ribs neatly, and asked attentively: "Today's raw intestines (fallopian tubes) are good, do you want to weigh some to make soup? It's very nutritious."
"Are you mocking me for not being able to have children?"
Xia Tao's face turned cold and she looked at him creepily.
"No... No, I don't have the guts to do that, God and God!"
The pork shop owner was regretting so much that his intestines turned green. He really wanted to slap himself. Why did he talk so much? This evil woman just bought ribs by weighing them. Why did he have to carry raw intestines?
Xia Tao snorted coldly and carried a few pounds of ribs to the fish stall next door.
The pork seller sat down and wiped his sweat vigorously. Damn it, he was one of the Ten Tigers of Lotus Street and was very famous. But now he was bullied by a bitch. It would be embarrassing if the news got out.
People at other stalls were happy to watch the fun. Xia Tao was a bit fierce, but she was doing her job. If she hadn't intervened, the pork owner would have been ruined.
Who among those who are addicted to gambling does not end up with their family broken up?
The pork boss hated Xia Tao, but his wife was very grateful to Xia Tao. She would give her gifts during every festival and speak well of Xia Tao to everyone she met.
Xia Tao bought a basket full of vegetables. Gan Defa came back at noon. He acted as the chef and cooked a large table of delicious dishes.
The Gan family didn't know that there would be a big surprise at this time. Xia Tao didn't tell them because she hadn't decided whether to adopt the child. She would not accept a child who didn't suit her taste, no matter how outstanding he was.
But she couldn't say exactly what it meant to be compatible, and she would only know after meeting them.
