Chapter 374: Seeking Leniency
Tao Jiaren smiled and comforted her: "So, you don't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others love."

"As for me, I can just come to Taohua Village more often when I have time in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bai Duoxi and others just curled their lips and said nothing.

Someone was coveting their aunt right in front of them, so they were lucky enough not to flip the table. How could they smile at the "bad guy"? Not to mention saying welcome against their will.

Several people grumbled in their hearts, you clearly want to take it away, but you just know you can't win.

Next, Tao Jiaren ate barbecue. It was cooked, but the taste was not satisfactory.

Either it has no taste, or it is too spicy, or it is "accidentally" too salty, or it is not sour when it should be, or it is over-roasted.

Tao Jiaren knew Bai Duoxi's craftsmanship, so she naturally understood that this was their petty revenge.

After all, it was she who said something that the people in Taohua Village didn't like, and it could be said that she violated the taboo of the people in Taohua Village. Tao Jiaren smiled helplessly and said nothing.

However, Bai Tao was not completely ignorant. After seeing Tao Jiaren biting the barbecued food several times and then having a hard time swallowing it, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Sister Tao, your grilled wings look very good." Bai Tao smiled.

Her praise made Bai Duoxi and the others' expressions suddenly stiffen, their eyes full of panic. It's over, these chicken wings were heavily seasoned.

Although it won’t make you sick, it doesn’t really taste that good.

At this moment, Tao Jiaren quickly picked up the remaining string, took a bite, and said awkwardly: "Oh, I've already taken a bite."

The implication is that otherwise I could give it to you.

If she eats it, just eat it. It’s better not to touch it, little cutie.

Seeing this, Bai Duoxi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Phew, it’s not bad, it’s not bad…

After this, the taste of the barbecue served on Tao Jiaren's table returned to normal.

After all, Bai Duoxi and others were afraid that Bai Tao would insist on eating the barbecue on Tao Jiaren's table and be exposed.

When Tao Jiaren left, Bai Tao ordered someone to put some gift boxes in her carriage.

Bai Tao: "Sister Tao, I apologize to you on their behalf."

At this moment, Bai Tao felt like her own child was being naughty, and she, as a parent, had to clean up the mess.

Tao Jiaren was stunned at first, but soon realized that Bai Tao knew about it, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing, they are just worried about you."

After all, she was the one who instigated this matter. The covert actions of Bai Duoxi and others were just an expression of dissatisfaction, and did not cause any substantial harm to her.

Tao Jiaren knew even more that according to the rules of the people in Taohua Village, if it weren't for the relationship with Bai Tao, she would probably have been carried out of Taohua Village horizontally.

"My little cutie, I feel relieved that they cherish you so much." Tao Jiaren's tone was full of relief.

"Sister Tao, I'm glad you're not angry." Bai Tao smiled.

Tao Jiaren didn't know why, but suddenly asked curiously: "What would you do if I get angry?"

Without thinking, Bai Tao replied with a sweet smile: "If you are angry, then I will comfort you."

She thought to herself that saying a few nice words to coax him wouldn't cost any money and wouldn't cost her a cent.

As for scolding Bai Duoxi and others for Tao Jiaren, Bai Tao would definitely not do that. After all, everyone is biased, including her.

"Oh, I'm at a loss then. I should have said I was angry." Tao Jiaren laughed and joked, "Next time I will remember to be angry."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tao smiled sweetly: "Hehe~ Then I will definitely coax Sister Tao." As soon as Lady Tao's carriage left Taohua Village, Bai Duoxi and others pushed and shoved to Bai Tao to admit their mistakes.

I am smart and capable, so I am sure they will know what they are doing. In that case, I will just admit my mistake and try to get lenient treatment.

"Auntie, we were wrong." But they don't regret it.

If they didn't know that Tao Jiaren had no other ideas, they would definitely not have done just that.

Bai Tao crossed her arms and snorted, with a stern face: "What did you do wrong?"

Bai Chunhua looked up quietly, and after seeing Bai Tao's expression, she quickly lowered her head again.

Her behavior made Bai Tao think that she looked fierce at the moment, and she felt proud of herself.

But Bai Tao had no idea that it was because of her chubby little face that she looked cute and fierce when she looked serious. If Bai Chunhua didn't lower her head, she would definitely not be able to help grinning.

"We, we shouldn't play a trick on Boss Tao."

My aunt is entertaining guests, and it is really unacceptable for them to behave like this.

Bai Tao didn't say anything, so Bai Duoxi and the others lowered their heads and continued to admit their mistakes in a low voice: "Auntie, it's our fault. We embarrassed you today."

"That's not the case." Bai Tao shook her little hand, and under the guilty and uneasy gazes of several people, she said in a childish voice, "It's not embarrassing."

"I also know that you are trying to protect me." Although the behavior was childish, it was undeniable that they were also overly nervous about her.

Put yourself in their shoes. If someone told you that they had their eyes on the most precious treasure in your home and wanted to steal it, how would you feel?

"Auntie~" Bai Duoxi and the others' eyes instantly turned red, feeling embarrassed, guilty, and moved.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to scold you." Bai Tao saw it and hurriedly spoke to comfort them.

She is obviously the child, but she has to coax the "children" in the village who are three to four hundred months old, or even five to six hundred months old, and whose eyes are red and they feel aggrieved from time to time.

By the time other people in the village knew about this, it was already evening.

Although everyone knew that Tao Jiaren had no bad intentions, it was hard to be happy to see her so blatantly coveting their young lady.

No matter how good our aunt is, she is still our aunt. You can interact with her from time to time, but you can't steal her.

We should be moral people and not want to take possession of good things that others have.

Because Bai Duoxi and a few others also made some small moves, the villagers still had some grumbles, but in the end they didn't do anything else.

But for a period of time afterwards, Taohua Village tried its best to prevent Tao Jiaren's visit.

If they really can't stop her, two or three people will follow Bai Tao closely like they're guarding against thieves.

In the blink of an eye, it is September.

Just when the autumn harvest and planting were in full swing, a piece of news made Bai Dashan frown.

He held the letter tightly, gave Bai Shanquan a few instructions, and hurried to Taozhu courtyard.

"Village chief, what are you doing in such a hurry?" A villager met him and greeted him casually.

Bai Dashan looked solemn: "I have something urgent to discuss with my aunt."

"My aunt is not in the village right now." Bai Dafen looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "My aunt went to the town half an hour ago."

Please give me a vote, then good night.
