Chapter 40

When going down the mountain, Li Taotao only felt relaxed. The mountain scenery along the way was beautiful, steep and weird rocks, all kinds of emerald green trees that could not be named, and the wind blowing on her body drove away the heat.The blue sky and white clouds, it is also a special scene to watch from a high place.

"Did you just make your wish?" Li Taotao asked.

"No." He Taifang followed behind her, holding all kinds of food in his hand, the snacks they brought up before the mountain, "Do you want to drink water?"

"Ah."

She agreed, and He Taifang behind him opened the spout of the army green thermos and handed it down. It has a strong thermal insulation performance, and it has been four or five hours, and the water is still hot.

Li Taotao took a sip, sat down on the stone beside the steps, and waited for the kettle to boil and cool down.

He Taifang stood, using his hat to block the sunlight projected from the side. Under the raised eyebrows, a pair of big eyes were half-closed to avoid the dazzling sunlight, looking at the village at the foot of the mountain.

"When are you going to sit at my parents' house and have a cup of tea?" He Taifang asked suddenly.

Li Taotao didn't react for a while, so she stopped the action of drinking water, and looked up at He Taifang in confusion: "They asked for it?"

He Taifang said: "I'll be with you during this time, lest they leave a bad impression on you."

Li Taotao recalled her past life, and her relationship with her parents-in-law was very bad. They were high-level intellectuals and looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.Li Taotao took two sips of warm water, turned her eyes to the green tree, "Okay. When do you want me to come to the door? I will spare time that day to drink tea and chat with my uncle and aunt."

Li Taotao's mood was very stable, and she couldn't hear any mood swings.This made He Taifang, who had been preparing to coax her for a while, hesitate a little bit. He stared at Li Taotao seriously for a while, making sure that she had no dissatisfaction on his face. For some reason, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"In twelve days, it will be my mother's birthday. I plan to cook a few dishes at home, and we don't invite relatives and friends, just a few of us have dinner and chat." He Taifang said.

Li Taotao pursed her lips, with a calm smile on her pretty face.

In the last life, at Mother He's birthday party, she was irritated and lost her temper at that time, making the whole family unhappy, but at that time she and He Taifang were married, so Father He and Mother just turned a blind eye She turned a blind eye to downplay the matter, but since then, the relationship between her in-laws and her has become increasingly distant and deteriorating.

At that time, when she was young, she couldn't listen to others talking about the scandal she encountered, so she broke out emotionally.

This time, probably not.

Li Taotao comforted herself.For He Mu's birthday party twelve days later, she has already begun to attach great importance to it in her heart.

When the two of them got off the tricycle carrying passengers, they saw a mother and daughter standing at the door of the closed shop from a distance, as if they were looking for someone, and kept inquiring about news from the passers-by next door.

As soon as they saw Li Taotao and He Taifang coming down from here, the mother and daughter cheered up, and the middle-aged woman left and ran over, yelling loudly while running: "Thai Fang, you are too ignorant , two people get together before they are married, she is shameless, we still have to save some face with our He family status."

After she yelled like this, everyone along the street cast their gossiping and curious eyes over. The spittle of gossip in this era can drown people.Everyone's eyes were like detectors, looking up and down over and over again at the conservatively dressed Li Taotao, but they didn't pay much attention to He Taifang next to him.

The corner of He Xiangxin's mouth turned up, she knew what kind of momentum her words would create, she looked at Li Taotao sarcastically.

It seemed to be telling her with his eyes, even you want to enter my He family's door?

Li Taotao said: "What you said is very funny. Brother Tai Fang and I have already settled down. We will be husband and wife sooner or later. I open a tailor shop here, earn money with my hands, and live an upright life. Even if Brother Tai Fang stays For the shop, he is also laying the ground floor on the first floor, seeing that it is not safe for a little girl like me to live in an unfamiliar place."

The eyes of those people looking at Li Taotao were no longer so colorful.

He Xiangxin wanted to say something else, but Li Taotao interrupted: "Some people have dirty hearts, and they think they are the same as her when they look at everything. Oh, I'm not talking about you, don't get me wrong."

He Xiangxin's face was pale, trembling with anger, her eyes were wide open and she wanted to go up and tear Li Taotao to pieces.

Her failed marriage once caused He Xiangxin to suffer from severe depression and mania, and even a little bit of persecution paranoia. When she heard a little bit of blame, it was all pointing fingers and cursing in her ears.

He Taifang stood beside Li Taotao, pulled her behind, and said in a low voice, "Say less."

"Oh."

Although Li Taotao was dissatisfied, she still kept her mouth shut.

He Xiangxin said angrily: "Thai Fang, what kind of woman did you find? I said a few words to her as an elder, and she dared to scold me back!"

"Mom, why don't you say a few words." He Ruirui took her by the elbow and persuaded her in a low voice.

He Xiangxin pointed at He Ruirui, "Thai Fang, let that woman learn from your cousin. If it wasn't for the blood relationship, I would have made you marry Ruirui no matter what."

"Mom! What are you talking about?" He Ruirui blushed with embarrassment, and looked at Li Taotao apologetically in embarrassment, "I have always regarded my cousin as my own brother."

He Xiangxin snorted, "If you don't treat him as your own brother, what else can you do?"

He Ruirui was speechless for a moment, facing her arrogant and unreasonable mother, sometimes He Ruirui really had no choice.Others say that she has a gentle and kind personality, but who knows that she has to succumb to her mother's strong character, otherwise the life of mother and daughter will only be more difficult.

He has always been dependent on others and lives in his uncle's house. He Taifang can't say that he is particularly kind to her cousin, and at least he has never bullied her.The relationship between the two cousins ​​is very weak.

"Cousin, my mother saw that you hadn't come home for several days. She was afraid that you would be unsafe outside, so she went to see you specially. Don't get me wrong." He Ruirui explained softly.

"En." Facing He Ruirui, He Taifang's complexion improved a bit.

He Taifang said to Li Taotao, "Go and open the door first, and make a cup of tea for my sister-in-law and cousin later."

Li Taotao nodded meekly, "Okay."

She took the key and went to open the store door, and walked past He Xiangxin's mother and daughter. He Xiangxin didn't have a good face for her the whole time, and kept staring at her.

He Ruirui looked at Li Taotao apologetically.

Pedestrians on the road saw that there was no quarrel here, and they all dispersed.He Taifang trotted out to buy a bag of pastries and came back. When he came back, there were three women sitting in the shop chatting with each other, He Taifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
