Afterwards, the simple and honest Tao Dayu arrived in the small village. The two gradually became close, and Mrs. Tao forced Tao Dayu to marry her.
In the end, after they had just been married, Mrs. Tao curbed herself. In the days after that, Tao Dayu was frequently beaten and scolded. However, every time, Tao Dayu would laugh and never flip out on Mrs. Tao. Although other people would complain about the injustice of it, he would always say to leave it be.
As more time passed, Mrs. Tao became undisciplined and out-of-control at home, and the neighbors could no longer continue watching. However, Tao Dayu was still laughing every day, and no one knew if perhaps he had become stupid from being beaten too much.
Tao Dayu stood up from the ground and used his hands to wipe his clothes and face. He still laughed and said to the neighbors, “It’s fine.”
Mrs. Tao slapped Tao Dayu’s back. “You spineless coward, it was clearly the child from Old Wang’s house that hit my Huzi. I asked you to go seek justice, and what did you do? You went to reason with them. The Wang family is well-known for not being scared of anything. What logic did you use on them?”
Tao Dayu simply and honestly laughed, “Don’t we have to use logic to convince people…?”
Mrs. Tao pushed Tao Dayu. “Screw using logic to convince people. Convince them! Did you convince them? Huh?”
Tao Daya didn’t say anything. In the end, it was clear that he hadn’t.
“When Huzi came home, he cried for a long time. Don’t I need to go and seek justice for him? Placing my hopes on a spineless coward like you is useless. Why did I even marry you?”
The neighbor thought, “Hehe, it was the spineless coward who married you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to marry!”
When Ling Tianya and Gu Zhiqian found Tao Dayu’s house based on the address, they saw him shaking his body and being beaten by Mrs. Tao.
Gu Zhiqian stood outside the door and looked at the spineless man. “Small Yaya, are you sure that this man is Tao Dayu, the former leader of Uncle Ruan’s team of hidden guards?”
Ling Tianya made a face. “Based on the address, it should be right.”
“May I ask…” Ling Tianya asked, “Is this Tao Dayu’s house?”
A woman’s voice suddenly drifted over. Mrs. Tao stopped beating Tao Dayu and looked at the man and woman standing in their courtyard. She immediately ignored Gu Zhiqian with his torn clothes, and her entire focus landed on the fair, clear-skinned, beautiful, sexy Ling Tianya.
“Who are you? Why are you looking for Tao Dayu?” Mrs. Tao harshly glared at Tao Dayu. When had this spineless coward gotten to know such a striking young girl?
When they heard that Ling Tianya was here to find Tao Dayu, the neighbors also stirred and called their family members to come out and watch them.
Everyone knew that Mrs. Tao easily got jealous. Now, there was a good play to watch.
Tao Dayu looked at Ling Tianya. He did not recognize this woman. She also didn’t look like someone from a small village. Since she wasn’t from here, how had she found this place? Who was she?
“I’m Tao Dayu. Who are you?” Tao Dayu stepped forward and scrutinized Ling Tianya.
Hearing Tao Dayu take the initiative to introduce himself, Mrs. Tao got extremely jealous. “Okay, Tao Dayu. When you see a beautiful woman, you take the initiative, is that right?”
Tao Dayu ignored Mrs. Tao and looked at Ling Tianya. “Very few outsiders come to this village. Who exactly are you?”
Ling Tianya took the fountain pen out of her pocket. “I came here based on the address in this.”
