Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 220 The Child

Whenever Xu Sheng dragged her to chat, Xiao Qi would sit quietly beside him, listening to the lonely old man slowly talk about his past.

The three of them sat in the courtyard for a while, and then Granny Xu walked out of the room slowly with a cane.

"This is the prescription of Qianjin Wine. Take it and tell him for me that I don't owe him anything in this life."

After receiving the wine, Chi Sheng took Xiao Qi to leave, but heard Granny Xu speak again.

"Peach, you should go back too."

Su Tao looked at Granny Xu so naturally that she was worried and left, but she couldn't hold her back, so she could only say that she would come to see her in two days.

With Xu Po's guarantee, Su Tao left the village with Chi Sheng and the others.

On the way, looking at Su Tao's appearance, Chi Sheng couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, but still asked a question: "How could Miss Su meet Granny Xu?"

Since he knew Su Tao, he also secretly inquired about her identity.

All that came was a burst of praise.

Praise her for being one of the few businesswomen in Yancheng, praise her for having a bodhisattva heart, and praise her for being unparalleled in talent and appearance.

The Su Tao in those populations is too perfect, she really doesn't look like an ordinary girl.

"In the early years, I fled to Yancheng. At that time, there were many exiles, and I couldn't enter the city. It was Mrs. Xu who looked at me as a little girl, so she took me back to Niuniu Village. Later, I got the help of noble people and lived in Yancheng. After I settled down, I also wanted to bring Grandma Xu to the city to support her elderly, but she didn’t want to, because I was afraid that she would be alone, so I would come to the village to see her from time to time.”

When Su Tao said this, his face was relaxed, as if the escape was just a game, and there was nothing scary about it.

Chi Sheng pursed his lips slightly.

He couldn't be more clear about how the fleeing famine was that year.

When they went down the mountain to catch people everywhere, they were always abused, but gradually, those who were brought up the mountain lost the consciousness of resistance, and they knelt down and kowtowed to beg them to take them in.

How can good people beg to go up the mountain to join the bandits, and how can they get away from those people-eating monsters?

Unexpectedly, this Miss Su came here in the same way.

Chi Sheng's eyes were a little complicated, and he looked at Su Tao with some inexplicable emotions.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Su Tao was a little unaccustomed to being looked at by him, and turned his eyes to look at Chi Sheng and smiled teasingly: "Could it be that you fell in love with me?"

The girl only wore a green dress today, with two buns on her head. Although the words she said were a bit explicit, Chi Sheng was stunned by the scene.

The blurred figure in his memory gradually became a clear outline, and that person seemed to be smiling slightly. He wanted to see clearly, but it was still like a cloud of fog that wrapped the person in it.

[Ding——Chi Sheng's favorability +5

The current favorability is 25, please continue to work hard——]

The system's voice suddenly rang in his mind, and Su Tao's beautiful eyes widened a little.

Favorability increased by five points?

The three of them didn't talk to each other along the way. At the entrance of the village, there were often people in the village who tied their cattle to carts and waited there to solicit customers.

From Niuniu Village to Yancheng, it only costs two yuan per person.

Seeing someone approaching, the coachman cheered up immediately, especially when he saw that it was Su Tao.

"Miss Su, are you going back to Yancheng?"

The driver is a middle-aged man of 40 years old, with dark skin, and some yellow teeth can be seen when he grins.

"Ah."

Su Tao nodded with a smile, and boarded the bullock cart on the small stool the driver put aside.

"Do you want to ride an ox cart, my lord? Two pennies per person."

Seeing Chi Sheng and Xiao Qi not moving, the driver hurriedly greeted them.

Chi Sheng looked at Xiao Qi beside him, then nodded and let Xiao Qi get on the bullock cart first.

After waiting for a while, two women came, and then the coachman drove the cow in the direction of Yancheng.

"Miss Su, are you going to see Granny Xu again?"

A woman looked at Chi Sheng, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she looked at Xiao Qi who was sitting beside him, and then she talked to Su Tao with a smile.

"Yes."

Su Tao didn't give this woman a very good look, but nodded politely.

"If you want me to tell you, Miss Su, you should choose something far away from Granny Xu. She is a well-known evil star. Otherwise, how could her man just leave at the beginning, and even that child... Oh, it really is a crime!"

The woman patted her thigh as she spoke, and the expression on her face was even more regrettable.

"What happened to her baby?"

Hearing the woman talking about Granny Xu's child, Chi Sheng turned to her and asked.

The two women looked at each other, then looked at Chi Sheng, and then said: "That child has been a monster since birth! People in the village say that she is destined to be lonely and old!"

"Yes, yes, anyone who gets close to her will be unlucky! Back then, Li Er's daughter-in-law in the village was persuaded by the villagers to move the couple to the west of the village. She refused to listen and insisted that her family's Feng Shui was good, but within a month, Just drowned alive!"

The other woman had a sad expression on her face, and Xiao Qi, who was watching, frowned in disgust.

He knew this expression very well. After those two people died, many people in the village looked at him and Yueyue in the same way.

But in the end, wasn't all the food in my family stolen by them?

The two women seem to have opened up the chatterbox at this moment, talking about the "unlucky things" that happened because of Mrs. Xu.

The more Su Tao heard it, the expression on his face became lighter, until the last pair of eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

She doesn't believe in those ghosts and gods. Even if she has time-traveled now, how can a person as good as Xu Po be the evil star in these people's mouths?

Chi Sheng's face was also not good-looking. It was not until they reached Yancheng that the two women stopped talking, each of them paid two Wen to the driver, and then rushed to the city.

"Miss Su, don't listen to those two people's nonsense. Granny Xu is a very good person, but people in the village don't like her."

The coachman is 46 years old this year. He was only two years old when Xu Po and Xu Sheng settled down in Niuniu Village. Although he was young, he had a certain impression of them. At that time, all the children in the village liked to go to Xu's house because they could always share to a piece of candy to eat.

Later, when he was four years old, Uncle Xu suddenly disappeared. Since then, the villagers always prevented the children from going to Xu's house. He would occasionally sneak to Xu's house and knock on the door, but he never got any caramel.

Everything was fine at first, until the day when Granny Xu gave birth, the midwife said that she had given birth to a monster. After that, the villagers avoided her like snakes and scorpions, and even the dolls would run away quickly when they saw her.

But he has a naughty temper, often getting into trouble and being beaten by his father. Every time after being beaten, he would squat in the corner and cry, and then he would meet Mrs. Xu, who no longer had the smile she used to. Blow gently to make him feel better.

Although every time he took the medicine, he would be beaten again by his father, but Mrs. Xu was a good person, so he remembered it.

"I know." Su Tao looked better, and got off the bullock cart after paying the fare, leaving only Chi Sheng and Xiao Qi in the cart.

"My lord, it's already here."

The coachman was a little surprised to see that they were still moving.

"Uncle, what about the child that Mrs. Xu gave birth to? How is it?"
