Chapter 87: Driving Away

Jiang Xiaochao was incredibly arrogant and disrespectful to his elder, Jiang Guihua, which made her unable to hold back from speaking up.

“Chaochao is a good boy!” Hu Yao interrupted her, not wanting to listen to her lecture. She took Jiang Xiaochao’s hand and turned to leave.

Hu Yao’s lack of deference made Jiang Guihua’s face darken. Hu Yao was just her nephew’s purchased wife! How dare she disrespect her!

Breakfast was prepared by Jiang Guihua’s daughter-in-law, whose cooking skills were terrible. Even Jiang Xiaochao, a child who didn’t have picky eating habits, couldn’t stomach it.

Despite her poor cooking, she had made a full table of food. She had boiled a large pot of white rice early in the morning, and the few dishes were excessively oily.

The food was too greasy for Hu Yao to eat.

The Wang family members, however, devoured it all, leaving the table in a mess.

“Why are you all eating like you’re fighting for scraps with Wangcai and the others!” Jiang Xiaochao frowned, speaking bluntly.

“…”

Hu Yao remained silent for a moment before getting up to boil an egg for him, who hadn’t eaten enough.

After the egg was cooked, Xiaohu and Xiaozhuang tried to snatch it from him.

They were trying to take his favorite egg! He immediately hit them.

They were older than Jiang Xiaochao and ganged up on him, but they still couldn’t win. They cried their hearts out.

For a moment, the house was filled with noise again. Jiang Guihua and the others were heartbroken, saying how Jiang Xiaochao could hit them for two eggs, and they continued to criticize him.

“If you don’t like it, then move out!” Hu Yao said softly amidst the chaos.

Suddenly, Jiang Guihua and the others fell silent.

“It’s normal for kids to fight and play, what’s the big deal.”

Hu Yao felt that they had been living like this ever since Jiang Han left, it was too noisy. She decided to make things clear now.

“Jiang Han spoils Chaochao a lot, he won’t let him suffer any injustice. From now on, without Chaochao’s permission, no one can take his things, no one.”

“Right!” Jiang Xiaochao nodded, looking like he was loved by Jiang Han.

“You can’t touch anything in the house either.”

“Right! You have to listen to my mom!”

The Wang family members were unhappy with these blunt words. Wang Juanping couldn’t help but say, “Sister-in-law, why are you so stingy!”

“That’s right, Ahan’s wife, don’t take advantage of Ahan’s absence and talk to us like this!” Jiang Guihua was unhappy again. In her eyes, she was an elder and had already been accommodating to Hu Yao. Why should she have to watch Hu Yao’s face in her own nephew’s house!

“Then you can go talk to Jiang Han about it!” Hu Yao looked at the mess on the table, feeling suffocated and suddenly annoyed.

Jiang Guihua choked. After all, Hu Yao was carrying Jiang Han’s child. She endured it, secretly cursing under her breath, thinking that she would have to talk to Jiang Han about it when he came back!

The next day after they arrived, they had essentially torn off a bit of face. Jiang Guihua didn’t know what she said to Wang Juanping, but she started to be sarcastic to Hu Yao, with disdain in her eyes.

She even took a liking to Hu Yao’s clothes and dresses, and unceremoniously asked for them.

She wanted the one that Hu Yao liked the most, the one she had only worn once and Jiang Han had forbidden her from wearing again!

Hu Yao refused.

Wang Juanping made a fuss and ran to tell Jiang Guihua.

Jiang Guihua came back to lecture Hu Yao.

“Ahan’s wife, you’re already a wife, why are you buying so many fancy clothes! Are you trying to seduce other men behind Ahan’s back? Just give it to Juanping!”

“And Xiaochao too, always bullying Xiaohu and Xiaozhuang, even hitting them!”

“You haven’t done any work for so many days, is Ahan’s money blown in by the wind? He’s working his butt off outside, and you’re enjoying yourself. You really think you’re carrying a golden egg, you’re lucky to be bought by Ahan, you can’t be so excessive! What woman doesn’t do anything when she’s pregnant.”

“Which woman constantly mentions her husband’s name, how did your parents teach you, you’re so clueless! It’s no wonder you were sold!”

“I heard you were stupid for a few years, now you’re better, you should be sensible! Know your place!”

“Go make dinner today, and also that…” Jiang Guihua started to order Hu Yao around, becoming increasingly rude.

Hu Yao’s expression turned blank, she didn’t know which of Jiang Guihua’s words made it happen. Jiang Guihua and the Wang family’s actions in the past few days had made her not even want to pretend to be polite.

She realized that she was far less tolerant than before.

“Aunt, Chaochao wouldn’t hit anyone for no reason, it was your grandsons who did something wrong! Besides, Jiang Han doesn’t let me do those chores, if he finds out when he comes back, he’ll beat me.” Hu Yao deliberately emphasized Jiang Han’s name, half-truth, half-lie.

After she got pregnant, he really didn’t let her do any chores. Every time he saw her, he was grumpy. Before she left this time, she had paid a kind-hearted auntie in the village to take care of her and Jiang Xiaochao, but she wasn’t used to it, so she joked and persuaded her to go back.

“What did Xiaohu and the others do wrong! Just let your husband beat you a few times, what’s the big deal, Ahan is generous, he’s raised you to be delicate and soft.” Jiang Guihua didn’t think her grandsons were wrong at all, she casually looked Hu Yao up and down, seeing her truly well-nourished appearance, her brows furrowed.

This Hu Yao was pretty, probably that’s why she seduced Ahan to buy her and pamper her! Unbelievable! How could she be a wife!

Jiang Guihua’s disdain for Hu Yao showed on her face. She felt that Hu Yao was just making excuses to be lazy!

At this point, she had already started to act like a mother-in-law to Hu Yao.

Hu Yao was annoyed and ignored her. Jiang Guihua was also angry. Except for being a little restrained in front of Jiang Xiaochao, she kept criticizing Hu Yao, and even went outside to spread rumors about her, saying that Jiang Han was unfortunate to have married her, he should just throw her out and marry a new wife.

With Jiang Han’s current conditions, he could marry any unmarried girl he wanted.

Jiang Guihua spread rumors about Hu Yao in Taowan Village, and the villagers, who love a good show, were excited and eager to introduce their nieces to Jiang Guihua–>>

The daughter came to take Hu Yao’s place.

Hu Yao couldn’t tolerate Jiang Guihua and the others anymore. She drove them away two days later.

Hu Guifen, knowing that Jiang Han was away, came to her door, shamelessly demanding money from Hu Yao. She also cursed and blamed Hu Yao for not helping with Hu Qiao’s matter last time, and even making Jiang Han oppose them! Now the Hu family was in shambles, and Hu Qiao was having a miserable time at her husband’s house, desperately needing money.

Hu Yao had already said that she had cut ties with Hu Guifen, but it was as if she couldn’t understand. She always came looking for trouble.

Hu Yao didn’t want to pay her any attention, but she kept nagging.

This scene was witnessed by Jiang Guihua, who had been badmouthing Hu Yao outside. She didn’t know that Hu Guifen was here for money, and unclearly joined in blaming Hu Yao, saying that even if Hu Guifen sold Hu Yao, she was still her biological mother. To treat her own mother like this was simply asking for divine retribution.

Wang Juanping and the others also chimed in with their criticisms.

Hu Yao, with a pale face, said nothing and went back into the house, throwing their meager belongings out the door.

“Hu Guifen, I told you I’m not your daughter anymore! Get out!” Hu Yao called out Hu Guifen’s name directly.

“And you too! Go back to your old house!”
