Chapter 70 Test

◎【2nd update】◎

The visitor is Shen Xiaomi, the little girl who once was now a beautiful lady, currently studying at Tsinghua University.

Zhao Taohua let her into the yard and asked with a smile: "Didn't you go to school today? How come you have time to come here?"

"The school is closed today, and my mother asked me to bring you some fruits." Shen Xiaomi handed her the cloth bag in her hand, and her well-behaved appearance was particularly pleasing.

After these years of getting along, Zhao Taohua likes this sister-in-law very much, and the relationship with her has become better and better.

The two walked into the house side by side. Shen Xiaomi was slightly startled when she saw Zhou Minglan, and then she greeted him politely. Her reserved look made people reluctant to speak loudly to her.

Zhou Minglan also had a good impression of Shen Xiaomi, and he lowered his voice and chatted with her.

Facing the questions of the elders, Shen Xiaomi answered very seriously. Even if it was just a casual question from Zhou Minglan, she would answer patiently and never perfunctorily.

"Here, eat an apple." Zhao Taohua picked a big and round apple from the fruit basket on the table and put it in her hand, then sat down beside her.

Shen Xiaomi did not eat the apple immediately, but picked up the fruit knife on the table to peel the apple.

Her movements were skillful and her manners were elegant. Zhou Minglan liked such a good child more and more, and wished she could have another son and marry him home.

Thinking of marrying a wife, her mind inevitably turned to Zhao Zhengbei. In front of Shen Xiaomi, she sighed to Zhao Taohua: "Do you think your fourth brother can't forget Lin Man? Otherwise, why hasn't he found a partner for so many years?"

Zhao Taohua was about to deny it when she heard the girl next to her scream "hiss..." She turned her head and saw that Shen Xiaomi's finger was cut by a fruit knife, and blood was flowing out along the finger.

This scared her and Zhou Minglan. She hurried to the house to find the medicine box, and Zhou Minglan also rushed over to help.

"How can you be so careless, kid! Put the knife aside!"

Shen Xiaomia looked up at her blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Zhou Minglan was stunned by her inexplicable apology, and her heart softened, "You apologized to others for a broken finger, are you stupid?"

At this time, Zhao Taohua came to them with a medical kit, and took out a piece of gauze and a bottle of iodine from the kit to help her treat the wound.

She bandaged it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the wound was bandaged.

Two-thirds of the apple on the table had been peeled off. Zhao Taohua took it and frowned, saying, "I'll peel the rest of the apple. Don't use the knife anymore."

Shen Xiaomia raised her head absent-mindedly, her tone inexplicably sad, "I peeled that apple for Auntie. I'm sorry I didn't peel it well."

Zhou Minglan finally understood why the girl said sorry to her just now, and she was moved. "Xiaomai, if Auntie doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it. Why aren't you my daughter~"

Zhao Taohua wanted to laugh when she heard this. She almost said, "Then let her be your daughter-in-law."

But when she thought of the age difference between Shen Xiaomia and Zhao Zhengbei, as well as the relationship between them, she finally swallowed the joke.
