Chapter 1819 Tao Qin is getting married
Shu Yu put down what she was doing and came out of the house.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Despite the freezing weather, Meng Han's forehead was covered in sweat, indicating that she had run very fast.
She stopped abruptly in front of Shu Yu, her face showing a gossipy look. "Sister Shu Yu, something terrible has happened."
Shu Yu pulled her back into the house and sat her down. "What's the big deal? Tell me slowly."
Meng Han took a sip of hot tea, caught her breath, and then eagerly asked, "Aren't we going to the Tao family to pay New Year's respects today?"
The Tao family she was referring to was not Tao Feili's family.
When Uncle Meng said he would sever ties, he really meant it. Tao never interfered in her brother's affairs again. Before the New Year, Zhang was still somewhat unwilling to give up. She brought several children to the Meng family's door, crying poverty and saying that she couldn't make ends meet and that her family was about to run out of food. She hoped that the Meng family could help her out.
Zhang hadn't expected that Tao was completely heartbroken. She thought that after the initial commotion, things would be fine again. Tao loved Tao Feili so much, she certainly wouldn't abandon his child.
But no matter how pitifully she cried, Tao didn't come out to see her.
The Meng family drove Zhang and her companions out. When Zhang returned the second time, they resorted to violence.
Zhang realized that she could no longer rely on the Meng family, and from then on, she truly had no further contact with them.
Uncle Meng only asked that Tao Shi not have any connection with Tao Feili's family; he didn't intend for her to completely sever ties with the rest of the Tao family. Tao Shi still had aunts, uncles, and other elders who all lived in Tao Family Village and had doted on her when she was young.
Before the Lunar New Year, Tao took Meng Qi and Meng Han back to Taojia Village and explained the whole story.
Most of the villagers in Taojia Village are relatives, and the village chief is considered Tao's paternal uncle. Hearing that Tao Feili had betrayed Uncle Meng to rebels, they cursed Tao Feili to death in their hearts.
If Tao Feili's actions were even slightly serious, it could be directly accused of colluding with rebels. In that case, he would implicate not only his own family, but the entire Tao Family Village.
It's fortunate that the Meng family didn't hold it against them, otherwise they would all have been in trouble.
Therefore, Tao's relatives in Taojia Village did not blame Tao; on the contrary, they were willing to continue maintaining kinship ties with her.
Since that's the case, then naturally we should go and visit Taojia Village during the Chinese New Year.
Little did Meng Han know that after arriving in Taojia Village, she would hear something extraordinary.
"Sister Shuyu, do you know? Taoqin is getting married soon."
Shu Yu paused, "Tao Qin is getting married? Didn't her father just pass away?"
"Because she just passed away, she has to get married within three months, otherwise she would have to wait three years."
Shu Yu understood.
Meng Han waved his hand, "Of course, that's not the point. The point is that Tao Qin is going to marry a wealthy man from the next county. He's almost fifty years old, old enough to be her grandfather. According to an aunt in Tao Family Village, he's fat and has big ears. His first wife died only six months ago, and he's already going to marry another one. But he already has seven or eight concubines."
Shu Yu, "..."
"Given Tao Qin's personality, she probably wouldn't agree, right? Didn't she make a fuss?"
Meng Han gave Shu Yu a thumbs up, "Sister Shu Yu, you really know how to judge people. She's making a scene, of course she's making a scene. But this time no one is helping her, because this is her own doing. She wanted to harm someone, but she failed and ended up getting herself into trouble instead."
