However, Tao Ling immediately realized that something was wrong. She always wore Tao Qin's old clothes all year round. Occasionally, she might have new clothes for the New Year or two, but it would definitely not be this year.

My father just passed away, so it would be nice if I didn’t wear all white during the Chinese New Year, so why bother to buy new clothes?

And as the person who does the most work in the family, she knows very well that the food supply in the family has been decreasing. The family has no money, but they are still buying laundry at this juncture?

Tao Ling always felt that Zhang and Tao Qin were both weird. On the surface, she didn't say anything and just did whatever Zhang told her to do, but secretly she was already thinking of ways to get words out of her younger brother.

Tao Ling always knew that her mother and sister were of bad character, but she never expected that they were so bad that they sold her for money.

Years of forbearance are nothing. I originally thought that I would get my haircut soon and would be able to leave this family after getting married.

Who knew that he would be calculated like this in the end.

Tao Ling was angry, but quickly calmed down.

She obediently went to buy clothes, tidied herself up, and put on the balm her mother bought to make herself look energetic.

Afterwards, I followed my mother to the next county to meet with the Jin official.

She pretended not to know anything and sat quietly aside while her mother and Jin Yuanwai talked, as if she was too stupid to realize Zhang's plan.

Jin Yuanwai is quite satisfied with the finished pottery bell. Although he is not very stunning or beautiful, and he is still a little thin. But it doesn't matter, the overall look is pretty good, not a crooked melon. When he looks back, he can be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu if he dresses up a little.

.

Zhang and Yuan Jin had a very happy conversation, and the two families quickly finalized their marriage.

Tao Ling didn't say anything at all. Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied with her performance. The second daughter was finally well-behaved and didn't make any mistakes.

But considering Tao Ling's temperament, she wasn't worried. It was her parents who made the final decision on marriage, so it would be fine if she didn't get married.

Two days later, Jin Yuanwai asked Tao Ling to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to see the plum blossoms.

Tao Ling felt extremely sick in her heart, but she still agreed. But she turned around and added croton to Zhang's meal. As a result, Zhang, who originally wanted to accompany her, could only run to the hut.

Mrs. Zhang wanted Tao Ling to go alone, but the latter pretended that she was scared and did not dare to go out alone. In the end, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to let Tao Qin accompany her.

No one noticed that Tao Ling was still wearing the same dress as the last time they met. The hem of the skirt was stained with a lot of dirt from work. On the contrary, Tao Qin had a lot of clothes and was good-looking, even though she was dressed plainly.

, both look better than Tao Ling.

The two came to Zhuangzi together, and as expected, Jin Yuanwai's first sight fell on Tao Qin.

Tao Ling was like a little maid, following Tao Qin. She was so timid that she didn't even dare to speak loudly. If she was a little anxious, she would stumble.

This behavior was completely different from the first time they met. After all, last time they met, Ms. Zhang did most of the talking, but when asked about Tao Ling, she answered twice.

At that time, Jin Yuanwai thought that she was just too shy and embarrassed to be like this.

Now it seems that there is clearly something wrong.

Member Jin was not very satisfied, especially compared to Tao Qin who had a habit of pretending to be well-behaved, Tao Ling was really unbearable to look at.
