Chapter 135: Stealing a Child

He asked Hu Yao to eat some sweet potato cakes again.

Since the day she gave the sweet potato cakes he bought for her to Hu Xiujie, he bought them for her every day, and always fed them to her personally. Hu Yao was already tired of them.

But he wouldn’t be happy if she didn’t eat them.

So Hu Yao fed them to him instead. She had discovered earlier that he would eat anything she gave him, even if she had eaten it before, he didn’t mind at all.

Sometimes Jiang Xiaochao would take the leftovers to him, and he would eat them too. However, he would say a few words to Jiang Xiaochao compared to Hu Yao.

“Don’t wander around. If you’re bored, call Song Sikai’s wife to come and play with you.”

He was going to the neighboring town with Song Sikai today, and didn’t know when he would be back. He told Hu Yao not to wait for him for dinner.

Compared to Hu Xiujie, Jiang Han now preferred her to hang out with Du Ximei.

Speaking of Du Ximei, she came over with Song Sikai. She was planning to make fermented bamboo shoots with Hu Yao today. Yesterday, she and Jiang Xiaochao dug up a lot of them, and they were still piled up in the yard.

Song Sikai was a little puzzled by Jiang Han’s recent request for him to call his wife to hang out with Hu Yao more often. In the past, he didn’t like Du Ximei getting too close to Hu Yao, afraid that she would teach Hu Yao all sorts of nonsense.

Now his attitude has changed!

Actually, Jiang Han didn’t need to say anything. Du Ximei often went to see Hu Yao. Sometimes she spent more time with Hu Yao than with him.

Not to mention Jiang Han didn’t like them hanging out together, he didn’t like it either! Especially Hu Yao!

Although his opinion of Hu Yao was much milder than before, it didn’t mean it was completely gone.

“Why do you always have this attitude towards my sister?” Du Ximei frowned and glared at him.

“I heard everything. You always asked Jiang Han to teach her a lesson, right? Do you want to do the same to me?”

As she spoke, her expression became aggrieved.

Song Sikai was even more aggrieved than her: “How could I do that to you!”

“If you don’t do it to me, then you can do it to others, right? You just look down on women! Our leader said that everyone is equal, and women can hold up half the sky!” Du Ximei snorted.

“I don’t look down on women! I’ve never really looked at a few seriously before!” Song Sikai hurriedly explained.

“Then why do you say that about my sister!”

“Who told her to beat me when she saw me! And she always let the dog bite me!” Song Sikai still remembered this, and he was still resentful towards Jiang Han for this. He always pretended not to see it, and wouldn’t let him touch Hu Yao.

“……So that’s how it is.” Du Ximei paused, nodded, and didn’t continue to settle old scores with him.

She didn’t even want to be angry for him!

Song Sikai was even more aggrieved, feeling that he wasn’t as important to her as Hu Yao.

Du Ximei coughed and comforted him: “My sister was sick before, wasn’t she? You’re a big man, just be generous… By the way, aren’t you going to do something with your brother Han? Go, go, go.”

After saying this, she also pretended to be busy and went to make fermented bamboo shoots with Hu Yao.

Song Sikai was depressed and went out with Jiang Han. He couldn’t help but say another bad word about Hu Yao to him.

Jiang Han kicked him away two meters with one foot. He was even more “cold and ruthless” than before, and now his partiality towards Hu Yao was obvious.

“If she likes to beat you, then let her beat you. Cooperate next time!” Jiang Han said indifferently.

He could actually say such inhumane words! Song Sikai was furious. Thinking that Du Ximei was also helping Hu Yao, he was even more depressed.

“My wife is probably teaching your sister how to beat you right now!” In the future, Hu Yao wouldn’t just beat him.

“Let her teach her seriously.” Jiang Han didn’t care.

Song Sikai: “…”

Hu Yao didn’t know what they were talking about. There were so many bamboo shoots in the house that they weren’t enough for the jars to make fermented bamboo shoots, so the rest were made into dried bamboo shoots.

Du Ximei loved to eat bamboo shoots. She had eaten all the ones Hu Yao had given her before. Recently, she had loved to eat sour things.

Hu Yao had given her some plum candies before, and she had eaten them with a sour face, but now she was eating them with gusto.

“Are you pregnant?” Hu Yao asked with a smile, guessing, and found some more plum candies for her to eat.

Du Ximei was taken aback, shook her head in confusion: “I don’t know.”

When Hu Yao said this, she realized that her taste had changed a lot recently.

She and Song Sikai had been married for half a year. It was not unusual to have a child, but she had told Song Sikai before that she couldn’t get pregnant, and it wasn’t fake. She had been injured before, and her body was damaged. That’s what the doctors told her.

So she hadn’t even thought about the possibility of being pregnant.

She and Song Sikai had secretly discussed it before. They were going to steal someone’s child. She thought Jiang Xiaochao was pretty good! But Song Sikai said that Jiang Xiaochao was too mischievous to handle. They would wait until the child in Hu Yao’s belly was born and compare them before deciding.

Hu Yao had no idea that the couple was thinking about stealing her child. Seeing her rare confused expression, she smiled: “Let’s go to town and get checked after we finish the bamboo shoots. I’ll go and check my belly too.”

“……Okay.” Du Ximei hesitated and nodded.

Jiang Xiaochao didn’t know what they were talking about. He was playing happily with the two puppies, jumping and running around. After playing for a while, he came over to help and picked up the peeled bamboo skins into the bamboo basket.

“Mom, I picked them all up!” He didn’t forget to tell Hu Yao.

“Xiaochao is so good.” Hu Yao smiled softly, praising him.

Every time he helped with something, Hu Yao would praise him. When she praised him, he would be very happy, his smile bright and dazzling.

“Don’t show your belly. Put your clothes on properly.” Hu Yao smiled and told him again. Whether he was happy or angry, he would always lift his little clothes to show his belly.

Du Ximei reached out and poked his white, round, bulging belly: “You’re already so full. Will you be able to eat dinner later?”

He would always eat snacks from time to time.

“I can eat!

“Jiang Xiaochao listened to Hu Yao’s words and obediently put down the hem of his clothes, patting his belly with his little hands, also strangely saying: “I haven’t eaten enough, why is it like this?”

“I might have a baby!” He suddenly exclaimed, looking at Hu Yao’s belly and then at his own, softly and strangely saying if it was because he kissed Qiu Yarong before, and Qiu Yarong didn’t have a baby, so the baby came to him.

Hu Yao was slightly stunned, then laughed, her voice tinged with amusement as she watched him look surprised and doubtful as he touched his little belly: “Chao Chao, you don’t have a baby, many children are like this.”

“You even kissed Rongrong on the mouth!” Du Ximei noticed this, pinched his little face, and called him: “Little rascal!”

“I’m not! She kissed me first! She’s the little rascal.” Jiang Xiaochao was depressed.

“That’s true.” Du Ximei thought about Qiu Yarong’s mischievous nature, nodded, Qiu Yarong was indeed a little rascal, exactly like that damn Tang Haofei!

“Don’t let her kiss you anymore! Look, she’s made your belly big, she’s a big rascal!” Du Ximei was talking nonsense.
