Chapter 1770: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1770: Tao Shi's Final Request
Tao Shi had always kept Tao Qin by her side, as she was her younger brother's first daughter. When their father was still alive, he had asked her to take care of her niece.
Tao Shi believed that she had showered Tao Qin with love and care, preparing everything she needed, even arranging a dowry for her.
But how had Tao Qin treated her? When confronted by bandits, she had been pushed aside to shield Tao Qin from the attack. She was like a stranger to her own family.
However, her relationship with Ah Han, who she had disagreements with in the past, had changed during her illness. Ah Han had taken care of her, advised her, and despite their previous conflicts, never gave up on her as a mother.
Sometimes, it took life and death situations for people to realize who truly cared for them and who was just putting on a facade.
The head of the family was right—she had done many foolish things in the past. Now that she understood, she wasn't sure whether she could make amends and if there was still time for that.
Tao Shi gently wrapped the bandaged hands of Meng Xiaoshu, her husband, and softly spoke " Husband, I don't want a separation."
Sighing, Meng Xiaoshu said, "Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, I have."
"Good, then don't regret it."
Tao Shi lifted her head again, her smile tinged with tears. "I won't regret it. But there's something I'd like to ask your permission for."
"What is it?"
Tao Shi pursed her lips and hesitated before continuing, "My younger brother... he's gone. Despite being angry with him, I can't just sever all ties after all these years of relationship. I want to help with his funeral arrangements at the Tao family. Rest assured, after it's done, I won't associate with them anymore."
Meng Xiaoshu didn't oppose this matter.
He nodded, "Go ahead. Also, have Ah Qi and Ah Han go and offer incense. After all, he's their uncle. It's necessary to see him off, otherwise, it won't sound good if word gets out."
Afterward, he turned to Shu Yu and asked, "When will Tang Feili's body be brought back to the Tang family?"
"Today, around noon, it should arrive." The same went for the bodies of the wealthy young men who had been killed. However, unlike Tang Feili, most of them had been mauled by wild animals, leaving little behind.
After discussing it, Master Yang and the others sent over the clothes and any belongings they could find to the families of the deceased.
The situation in the black market was nearly under control. Tao Feili's body would be transported here today, and in another day, it would be his seventh day since death. Regardless, it was time for him to be buried.
Shu Yu had originally come today to inform Meng Xiaoshu of this matter. He had mentioned wanting to cut ties with the Tao family, but such a matter should still be communicated to him.
Meng Xiaoshu nodded at the news, gave some instructions to Meng Qi and Meng Han, and then let them leave.
As they walked out together, Shu Yu saw that Tao Shi and Meng Han were about to leave. She paused and said to Meng Qi, who was standing at the back, "The situation at the Tao family is definitely not peaceful, especially since Zhang Shi had cursed your father last time she was here. It probably won't be easy when you go there. Be careful."
"I understand." After this major upheaval, Meng Qi's temperament had become much more steady.
Shu Yu parted ways with them, heading towards the abandoned mansion.
Master Yang, along with the family members of the victims, had already arrived at the mansion. These people knew why they were waiting here, and their collective grief filled the air with low sobs and cries.
Master Yang and the others who had come from the black market were trying to comfort them.
