Chapter 101: Kick You With a Foot

This meal was made by Jiang Han. He made potato pancakes, which were inevitably a bit burnt.

The family of three had a simple breakfast. Jiang Han went out, saying he would be back at noon, and asked if they had anything they wanted to eat.

Jiang Xiaochao, without any politeness, happily listed a bunch of things. Jiang Han told him to go eat grass with the cow.

He pouted, but when Jiang Han promised to bring him scallion pancakes, he felt he was being partial.

Once again, he went to tell his little cow about his grievances. He talked and talked for the whole morning. Hu Yao found it extremely funny and could only coax him by saying she would take him to town tomorrow and buy him whatever he wanted.

He was instantly happy and skipped around her.

Jiang Han said he wouldn’t buy Jiang Xiaochao all those things he wanted, but when he went back, he still picked up a few things for him and stopped by Tang Haofei’s house to get scallion pancakes.

The scallion pancakes made by Tang Haofei’s second sister-in-law were indeed delicious. Hu Yao had been eating very bland food since she was pregnant. She couldn’t eat anything too oily or heavy, and her appetite had visibly decreased. These past few days, however, her appetite had improved, and she was eating more.

“You came to my house just for the pancakes?” Tang Haofei, who had been busy like a dog this month, was finally free today. Seeing Jiang Han come to his door with a bunch of bags, he thought he was coming to drink with him and thank him for being such a good brother and running around for him.

But no! He took the scallion pancakes from his house and was about to leave! The pile of things he was carrying was also for his wife and children at home!

He was convinced that they were all crazy. Song Sikai, who was being fooled like an idiot, was even more unbearable to watch. Anyone with eyes could see that his wife was not a good person. She was being controlled and didn’t even dare to breathe, yet he was happy about it!

Now, Jiang Han was getting more and more ridiculous!

Tang’s second sister-in-law was over forty years old and treated Tang Haofei and Jiang Han like children. This morning, Jiang Han came to her and asked her to make some more scallion pancakes, saying his wife liked them. Tang’s second sister-in-law happily agreed, laughing heartily. After Jiang Han left, she joked with the others in the Tang family, saying he was a real doting husband.

As they talked, they brought the subject back to Tang Haofei. Even Song Sikai, who had been single the longest, had gotten married. Married people were different. They all became reliable and down-to-earth.

Only Tang Haofei remained the same, a deadbeat. It worried them all. Old Man Tang was so angry he couldn’t even eat breakfast. When Tang Haofei, who had been out who knows where all night, finally came home, he grabbed him and scolded him, cursing him out.

Tang Haofei saw Jiang Han coming and almost treated him as a savior. He skillfully dodged the cane that Old Man Tang swung at him and said enthusiastically, “You’re here to eat with me, right, Brother Han? Let’s go!”

“Who wants to eat with you!” Jiang Han shoved him back into the path of Old Man Tang’s cane, took the scallion pancakes from Tang’s second sister-in-law, and thanked her.

“Look at Ah Han! He’s been a father for how long! Xiaochao is so smart and clever! When will you settle down! What kind of mess are you bringing home from outside! You’ve disgraced the Tang family!” Old Man Tang pointed at him, spitting everywhere. The old man, over sixty, was still very strong. He wasn’t satisfied with just scolding him and wanted to take off his shoes and beat Tang Haofei.

There was a lot of chaos. In the past, the others in the Tang family would try to stop him, but now they all looked down on the lawless Tang Haofei. They didn’t even try to stop him, but joined in the beating.

“Stop it! Stop it! Do you want to beat my Ah Fei to death! You old geezer, you always hit so hard!” Old Lady Tang, the only one who still loved Tang Haofei, rushed out, clenched her fists, and angrily punched Old Man Tang.

“…Mom, you’re hitting me.” Tang Haofei took a few hard punches from her, his mouth twitching. He felt that besides her bad eyesight, her body was still incredibly strong. Every punch she landed almost knocked him over.

…

“Your family is pretty lively too.”

On the way, Tang Haofei shamelessly wanted to go home with Jiang Han for dinner. Jiang Han clicked his tongue and said.

“Well, it’s not that. I mean, they wouldn’t be so lively without me!” Tang Haofei, as if he hadn’t heard the other meaning, waved his hand.

“It’s so much more carefree being a single man. What’s the point of getting married! My brother and sister-in-law have a bunch of grandchildren in their house. The old people can’t even hold them all. Why are they clinging to me?”

Speaking of this, Tang Haofei was also unhappy. He snorted coldly, “They really think finding a woman can control me! Which woman dares to climb on top of me!”

“Well, that woman didn’t want to climb on top of you. She kicked you with a foot instead.” Jiang Han said calmly, directly hitting him in the sore spot that had been there for years.

Tang Haofei’s face changed. He was furious and, thinking of something, his eyes became sinister, “Don’t mention that bitch!”

Jiang Han was speechless. He said sarcastically, “Who’s the bitch, you or her? You’re a beast who deceives people, and you can’t even let her run away with a man? You deserve it.”

“…”

Tang Haofei gritted his teeth and refused to go home with him for dinner. He cursed and left.

Whether he came to eat with him or not, Jiang Han didn’t care. He was actually more comfortable without him.

The morning was over. He wondered if his wife and son had been causing trouble for him at home. They definitely would have in the past, but now that her mind was better, she didn’t cause much trouble.

But other people would come to bother her! That fool of his was still being bullied! He didn’t even worry about Jiang Fuchao as much!

Thinking about it, Jiang Han quickened his pace.

But before he got home, Hu Qiao bumped into him.

It seemed like she had been waiting for him for a long time. She immediately called him brother-in-law and couldn’t wait to tell him about Hu Yao and her former wild boyfriend.

What she said was completely different from what Hu Yao had said last night. She said how much Hu Yao and that Zhong Jinghuai loved each other, how good their relationship was, how Jiang Han had taken advantage of the situation and interfered, and how Hu Yao still missed Zhong Jinghuai. She said that a woman like her, who was so promiscuous, didn’t deserve him…

Jiang Han’s face darkened. He looked at her coldly, “Who’s your sister and your brother-in-law? You’ve always looked like this, haven’t you? What’s the matter, no one told you the difference between you and Hu Yao?”

“Your two turtle eyes combined are not as big as one of Hu Yao’s eyes. How dare you say she’s your sister? Who gave you the confidence? Hu Guifen?”

“I’d rather marry a lame old man than you, you know? Ugly people are so bold. Luo Chumming is spreading rumors everywhere that you’re a toad and he’s not willing to…

“You know it in your heart, don’t you?”

His words, laced with venom and directness, fell like stones. Hu Qiao’s face contorted, her expression turning dark and twisted. She had come with good intentions, to expose Hu Yao’s true nature, but not only did he not appreciate it, he insulted her! He, Jiang Han, was just a street urchin, a stinking thug, who had only recently come into some money. What was he so proud of?

“Don’t talk to me about that rotten Luo Chuming! He clearly looked down on me! Because the woman he’s always thinking about is Hu Yao, isn’t it? All those women he goes after, aren’t they all just copies of Hu Yao?” Hu Qiao’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
