”Mother?” He thought that the smell of the wild game was indeed different, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace. But he didn't expect that when he got home, his mother and his daughter-in-law would be chatting and laughing in the courtyard, and they weren't even prepared to eat anything, so where did the smell come from?

”Dad, big brother is back. Wash your hands and eat.” Tao Yu Su directly called out, but she didn't expect that her uncle would also return.

As a scholar, although he had yet to become an Elementary Scholar, he was still able to earn a lot of money from selling stalls and writing books. Adding to that, his family gave him enough food to eat, and his big brother took care of him as well. Every month, he would give him enough food, meat, vegetables, chicken and eggs, as well as two taels of silver a year to pay him in front of the rent of ten acres of land.

This was also the reason why he would always buy some things for his family every time he came back, not too many of them, but they could be counted as a part of his good intentions, and this master of his was the one who caused all the trouble in the Tao family, no matter what, he was still unlucky. If he met with an incident of cheating, he would be cheated by his own niece, and from then on, he would be crippled, even if he found out later that this matter was not related to him, but when he was locked up, his leg was broken, so he would no longer be able to participate in the Imperial Examinations.

And the reason why the Tao family was like this was because of Tao Bai's nimble hands. Not only did she get people to grab Tao family's uncle, who was involved in this matter, but she also got people to break her legs. Of course, this also meant that she was not understood and loved by her family.

It was because of this reason that both the original owner and the current Tao Yushu hated each other. It was very obvious that she was not the kind of person who would provoke you if you did not provoke me. She was the kind of person who did not like you, so there was no need for you to exist.

”Alright, let's go sit down and eat. I'll go make some egg cakes.” She had actually only finished cooking and had not even started cooking yet. Everything else was done by Tao Yushu alone, and now that her man son and brother-in-law had returned, she naturally felt a little embarrassed.

”Mom, let me help you.” Moreover, her mother had not even served the table yet, so it was not good for her to run over. Although her uncle was still a good person, but if she did that, her uncle would probably want to use his eyes to look at her. In the past, she had once cut his hand off, and he had not been injured, so Mother Tao and Granny Tao did not want her to do anything.

When people were close to their elder brother, they would have strict requirements. As such, when people were close to their elder brother's family, they would treat him as a child of their own, so his requirements towards his nephew and niece were very high.

As for the people from the second house, they didn't care too much about it. They were polite and friendly to them, but for those who weren't close to them, this was something that they never noticed. They only felt that this little brother hated their big brother's family like they were themselves.

She could eat the rabbit meat agreed upon, but now she could eat the meat that she liked. She might not even dare to eat too much, not to mention the fact that she was not a person who would eat cat food just because she wanted to be beautiful, but this little girl was, and because of that, she felt very hungry. Even if it was the food that she cooked at home these past two days, she had tried her best to eat it, but her stomach was already too small, so no matter how much she ate, she could not eat much.

Not only was it done, the quantity was not small. Even though little uncle did not eat much, when he returned home, the quantity was always sufficient. This was home, it did not matter if you could eat all the dishes, but once you returned from school, you would definitely see a table full of dishes.

In the past, although they would be scolded from time to time, they would still be able to eat meat every three days. The day they left just happened to be the day they were going to eat meat, and two days had already passed, and they still hadn't bought meat to eat yet, which was a bit out of the question.

”What's wrong?” The little guy was so scared that it didn't even dare to move anymore. Naturally, he had no way of telling his elder sister that his mother would go to the main house to see if there was meat, or if he could steal it for them to eat.

”What's going on?” When Tao Bailing saw his younger brother's face, he knew that his mother had gone to do something bad again. She was preparing something that he wasn't allowed to do.
