The Evil Mother-in-law: Torment Children, Work Hard, Be Rich! Chapter 164: Taohua’s Sweeping Kick

This is Fan Tong’s first ti stepping into Taohua Dessert.

He didn’t expect Taohua Dessert Shop to be so big, with a dazzling array of pastries displayed at the counter.

"Hey there, what would you like? Pastries or at dumplings?" Liu Qiaoyun warmly asked Fan Tong.

Fan Tong pointed to the at dumplings and said, "I’ll have two dumplings."

He heard from ng Yanping yesterday that Taohua Dessert’s new at dumplings were delicious.

Taohua Dessert sends at dumplings to ng Yanping, but why don’t they send any to him?

Fan Tong glanced at Gu Taohua; could it be that Widow Tong has taken a fancy to ng Yanping for Gu Taohua?

If that’s true, Widow Tong is like a toad wanting to eat swan at; what kind of family is ng Yanping from?

In Pingchuan County, there are shops and a hundred acres of fertile land at ho, which the Gu family can’t compare to.

Gu Taohua heard Fan Tong’s voice, felt a stir in her heart, but didn’t look up, continuing to write information about ordering birthday cakes on paper.

Fan Tong felt a bit anxious and deliberately spoke loudly to catch Gu Taohua’s attention.

But Gu Taohua just wouldn’t look at him.

"Here are your dumplings. Go over there to pay." Liu Qiaoyun handed the wrapped dumplings to Fan Tong and pointed to Ma Huateng.

Fan Tong was secretly pleased.

Gu Taohua was standing next to Ma Huateng, bending over the table to jot sothing down.

Gu Jingzhe went over to make the paynt.

"Here’s your change, take care." Ma Huateng handed the change to Fan Tong and said.

Fan Tong took the change, realizing Gu Taohua hadn’t looked at him at all.

His heart stirred.

Gu Taohua, what’s she doing? She accepted his handkerchief but is still putting on a show here; is this so sort of ga of playing hard to get?

Fan Tong felt a surge of disdain but approached Gu Taohua with a smile. Before he could speak, Gu Taohua stood up and warmly greeted a woman.

"Oh, Mrs. Chen, you’re here. What would you like to buy this ti?"

Mrs. Chen is part of Old Mrs. Huang’s core circle, and has already placed a pastry order once with Taohua Dessert.

Such VIP custors are firmly held by Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.

Mrs. Chen held Gu Taohua’s hand and said, "Miss Taohua, my mother has a birthday coming up and I want to order a longevity peach and birthday cake for her. Just... the sa as Old Mrs. Huang’s birthday set."

Gu Taohua laughed and said, "You just need to inform , there’s no need for you to co in person."

Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Mainly because I’m ordering for my mother, I’m afraid sothing might go wrong, so I have to co personally to show my filial piety."

Gu Taohua said, "Your filial piety is comndable."

Praise rose in Mrs. Chen’s eyes.

Widow Tong is lucky to have raised such a competent daughter.

I heard this Taohua is only fourteen, listen to how she speaks so perfectly, touching Mrs. Chen’s heart.

Taohua may be a bit chubby, but so what; chubby is a sign of fortune.

Mrs. Chen chatted a bit more with Gu Taohua, then stood up and said, "Give my regards to your mother. I won’t hold up your business any longer."

Gu Taohua smiled and said, "Co often."

She saw Mrs. Chen to the door, watched Mrs. Chen board the carriage, then turned back to Taohua Dessert.

"Taohua."

Fan Tong stopped Gu Taohua.

"What’s the matter, Fan Xiucai? Did you buy my family’s at dumplings without bringing silver and want to charge the bill?" Gu Taohua coldly asked.

Fan Tong had loudly asked the price in the shop and deliberately approached her, just to attract her attention.

If it were in the past, Gu Taohua would’ve been unable to contain her excitent.

But now she only found Fan Tong incredibly disgusting.

Gu Taohua didn’t want to bother with Fan Tong and was about to return to the shop.

"Taohua, I have sothing to tell you." Fan Tong blocked Gu Taohua’s way.

So custors buying pastries were curious and looked over at the two.

Gu Taohua secretly resented Fan Tong’s cunning.

He did it on purpose, purposefully blocking her at the entrance of Taohua Dessert.

In front of a crowd, she couldn’t just slap Fan Tong.

Fan Tong was holding the dumplings with a packaging printed with Taohua Dessert’s logo. If things go wrong, people might think Taohua Dessert is beating custors.

Gu Taohua is, after all, just a fourteen-year-old girl; she isn’t that thick-skinned and worries it might affect the shop’s reputation.

So she bit her lip and said, "Fan Xiucai, co, let’s discuss the issue of your bill."

As she spoke, she walked to the alley nearby.

Gu Taohua decided to make things clear with Fan Tong, intentionally concocting a story about him charging the bill at Taohua Dessert to prevent misunderstandings among custors.

Fan Tong didn’t expect Gu Taohua would say that.

Under the disdainful gazes of nurous custors, he only felt humiliated.

This sister of Gu Jingzhe’s, she’s certainly of humble origin, so crude.

He wasn’t even fit to hold a candle to Miss Huang.

The dream of being a son-in-law in the Huang family shattered, better endure this little girl first and talk later.

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and followed Gu Taohua to the alley.

Gu Taohua stopped, looked coldly at Fan Tong, and said, "Spit it out, I’m busy."

Fan Tong wanted to stomp his foot.

Crude, too crude!

Fan Tong stood in front of Gu Taohua, smiled, and said, "Sister Taohua, I’ve always wanted to see you at Taohua Dessert, but Aunt Tong seems to have so misunderstanding about ."

Gu Taohua rolled her eyes and said, "I don’t see any misunderstanding my mother has about you."

Fan Tong didn’t expect Gu Taohua to be so sharp-tongued, leaving him feeling stifled.

"The handkerchief I sent to Sister Taohua..."

"I used it as a fire starter. Next ti, why don’t you send firewood? That handkerchief doesn’t burn well." Gu Taohua said, "Also, stop calling sister, I have three brothers at ho, don’t need you."

Fan Tong was shocked.

Gu Taohua’s attitude was obviously tired of him.

How could this coarse little girl from Qinghe Bay be tired of him?

He’s a scholar; he didn’t even look down on her crude nature or the fact she sells pastries in the street.

Fan Tong covered up his true feelings, maintaining his usual gentle smile and asked leisurely, "Sister Taohua, you weren’t like this before with . Do you have so misunderstanding? Did you believe the rumors about and Miss Huang? It’s all a misunderstanding; Miss Huang liked , but I didn’t have feelings for her."

In the past, that smile captivated Gu Taohua.

Now that smile disgusted her.

Gu Taohua was like Tong Huaqiong, a forr fan who turned against her own brother; once the filter is gone, it can’t be picked up again.

Fan Tong’s words made Gu Taohua disdainful; he clearly had lost the dream of being a son-in-law in the Huang family but still had the nerve to save face.

"Shaless, you even dare to slander Miss Huang. How could Miss Huang possibly like you? You aren’t even fit to offer her shoes." Gu Taohua felt the urge to tear Fan Tong’s mouth apart.

"Sister Taohua, I cherish you deeply."

Fan Tong’s confession finally turned Gu Taohua even more against him.

Without wasting words, Gu Taohua swiftly knocked Fan Tong to the ground.

Stunned, Fan Tong lay on the ground, unable to believe that Gu Taohua would do such a thing; she seed possessed.

Gu Taohua snapped her fingers, coldly taunting Fan Tong, "Next ti you talk dirty to , it won’t just be a beating."

"Fan Xiucai, you claim to be a scholar but refuse to pay your debts. Don’t let see you again."

Gu Taohua gave another kick, then angrily walked back to Taohua Dessert.

The crowd saw it as Fan Tong dodging paynt, with Gu Taohua angry for failing to collect.

Dazed, Fan Tong lay on the ground for a while before standing up.

Warm blood trickled onto the back of his hand, and a touch revealed his nose was bleeding.

"That chubby sister is really fierce."

Inside the alley, behind a pile of firewood stacked at soone’s doorstep, hid a big person and a little one.

The child was astonished by Gu Taohua’s swift move.

"Shh, don’t say anything."

Large hands covered the child’s mouth.
