Father Tao and Mother Tao listened to the malicious words coming out of Tan Jing's mouth. She kept mocking the Tao family for being poor and mocked Tan Rou for being in such a dire state. They felt very upset.
Although he knew that Tan Jing's previous sensible and obedient behaviour was all an act, he did not expect that in private, Tan Jing would also speak so viciously with her tone full of arrogance.
Mr. Tao and Mrs. Tao couldn't imagine if Xiao Rou had been ridiculed by Tan Jing like this before they knew the truth. After coming back from the Tan family, Xiao Rou must have felt depressed and Tan Jing was still provoking her so arrogantly. Xiao Rou must have felt awful!
It was all their fault for being incompetent parents. They pursued frugality and forgot about their child's feelings, which gave Tan Jing the opportunity to use her family's power to mock Tan Rou.
Mrs. Tao held onto Mr. Tao's hand and looked at Tan Rou with concern.
